Things That Are Told.

Economy in feeding gives promise Of
being Of paramount Importance to
stock raisers this fall and winter. and
some farmers believe that shredding
the corn fodder will be one great help
in the matter.
Fertile farms and well kept fields are
additionally associated with sheep.
~ The cencensus Of opinion in Kansas
Is unfavorable toward the policy Of
burning pastures. In special cases 1t
may be wise to resort to burning, as
for the destruction Of brush. weeds or
bunch grass.
The three varieties of macaroni
wheat for seed in this country are the
Nicaragua in Texas and the Arnautka
and the Wild Goose in the Dakotas.

Cows should be sailed regularly or,
better still, should have constant &C.
cess to salt, says George Z. Newell In
American Cultivator.
The practice Of sailing them once q
| week Is not gcod one, as most cattle
will lick a little salt every day II they
can get it.
Thus provided, they will yield more
and better milk than otherwise and will
also maintain better degree Of heaRh.
As salt provokes thirst. the milk ami
NAL should have as free access to wa
ter as to the saline mineral or the lat
ter will do her more harm than good.
Speaking Of salt leads me to say
,, that some failures in dairy butter max
ing have noted came about by sailing
, the cattle and the butter out Of the
'iame barrel.
In other words, coarse insoluble salt
; was used for theAbutter when only the
highest and most refined grade should
be en- llOyed.
, Salt that is not soluble will not per-
meate the substance of butter evenly,
and thus rancidity may be induced.
Again, grains of salt in butter al
ways detract from its appearance and
are inimical to even flavor, from these
causes alone lowering its market value.
Let me say here that there are today
Just as fine grades Of American dairy
salt produced as come from England.
American milk cattle fed on Ameri-
! can grass produce butter sailed with
American salt that is the peer Of any
on earth and is so conceded in foreign
markets.
In attaining this result, however, one
must utilize the best Of everything.
thinking not that poor or cheap mate
rial can be introduced with impunity to
/ future quality.
knew dairyman once who, In q
spasm Of economy q. sought to save
80 cents by purchasing a cheaper grade
Of salt than was his wont and later lost
on his shipment of butter thereby 81.
It was one OF the most effective lese
sons he could have been taught in prac-
teal dairying. exemplifying as it did
that cheap material always produces
cheap quality. When it comes to
cheesemaking. salt holds just as i'm
portant a position as, in other dairy
lines-i. e., that solubility and purity
are highly necessary.
The relation of salt. be it understood,
to all phases of dairying is highly i'm
portant one, and beca use this fact is 50
little appreciated accounts for many
dairy failures.

Some Things Alfalfa Did.

At the Laramie (WyJ station the
value of alfalfa harvested from, one
half scse cf land for five years was
about $40 mere than<the cost Of pro-
ducing It.
The value Of potatoes and grain from
an adjeasipe half acre for FIVE years
was about. $44 more than the cost of
producing II at local prices.
When the alfalfa land was plowed
and planted to wheat. it produced ~
to $12 more value in wheat per acre
than the land which had grown pota-
toes aud grain before.
When alfalfa land was plowed and

MohaiP Probable Even at Low
Prices-AmOng the Weeds.
1t is true that there is but little de-
Eand for mohair just now. My mo-
hair was sold at 20 cents per pound,
much lower than ever before, but the
Angora goat industry is still a good
business. even If we should not get
over 20 cents per pound for mohair
and 6 cents per pound for Angora NUT
ton, and where we want weeds and
brush killed the Angora goat is q
great help.
A few years ago the Colorado river
washed away a great deal Of my field
fence and covered the bottom land
with cockleburs all along the river. 1t
looked like a forest of eockleburs. To
save the crop ! had to build new
fence. Joining the river on the upper
side OF the field. SO the goats could not
keep down the weeds along the river
inside Of the field. but they kept all
the cockleburs eaten UP clean as far
As they could go. Last winter hired

and built a new fence Of eight wires
parallel with the river and opened the
whole bottom to the goats this spring
after shearing. At that time the coe-
kleburs and elder bushes had entirely
covered the entire bottom for the dis
lance of nearly mile, and It looked
like the goats would get lost in there,
but after about two months l had the
great pleasure to see that the bottom
was as clean from cockleburs and
elder as pecan gatherers may wish for.
But there is one weed that my goats
do not like. 1t Is the wild sage. and Of
the wild castor beans along the river
they do not eat much. l think that
sheep will eat wild sage. but do not
know if they eat the wild castor bean.
l hired help to keep down the castor
bean. which the goats will do'if there
are not too many Of them. I think 1t
would be good plan to keep few
sheep among the goats to keep down
wild sage also. concludes H. T. Fuchs

Calf Cholera.

Cattlemen have for years been anx-
iously looking for cause for this
dread disease. but thus far little prog
ress has been made In staying its
course. The best success has attended
feeding the COWS a mixture Of equal
parts of ground oats and bran, with no
other grain either in spring or on grass.
Where the disease Is prevalent 1t is
alse we'll not to allow the newborn
calf to take its mothers milk, but to
feed it from the first upon the milk OF
a cow that has been in milk for some
four or five months. The navel and
belly Of the calf should be washed at
birth and twice daily afterward for a
few days with 5 per cent solution OF

disinfectants.

The great drought of this summer
has been in the nature Of an eye opener
to many who have hitherto passed I'M

the government expert and one Of the
high authorities Of the country in this
matter. recently gave some evidence
before the Industrial commission Mt

Two-ffths Of the area of the United
States wpuau be benefited by irriga-

the common adjunct to market gar

coast. IT Is not asserted that it is
necessary 70 the farms Of these re-

To Professor Mead and other scief-
