The Dairy Calf.

Although good COWS can be found in
all communities they are comparatiyel
" scarce. and the heifer calves from
them should certainly be raised. Where
the whole milk IS disposed of and I'd
easily done, but it VIII pay to feed the
best calves whole milk for a few days
and then gradually substitute sone
other calf food. In this way, if a little
ca-e is exercised. excellent dairy calves
may be raised on small quantity OF
milk.

BILE these cold wintry days. Thus we
admonished at an institute few days
ago, writes L. w. Lightly in National
Stockman But said a practical
farmer, with feeds so high and dairy
products SO low, we cannot afford the
expense of building such stables as the
speaker advises. Our income does not
warrant such an outlay
Then another practical farmer spoke
thus: Il know my COWS were very I'M

the Notwithstanding acted as wind

of the stable was nearly as low as on
the outside, and l knew. it was un-
profitable, but | began to feel that it
was inhuman. I collected old newspa-
pers (hey were plenty after the cam
paign) and pretty heavily covered the

Food Value of Cheese.
Undoubtedly many people underesti-
mate the value of cheese as a human
food Comparing it pound for pound
with beef, it furnishes nearly twice as
much food value Cheese is composed
of about 81 per cent water, "a per cent
fat, "a per cent casein and 5 per cent
ash, while meat contains about GO per
cent water, ID per cent protein, 20 per
cent fat and 5 per cent ash. Full
cream cheese we'll cured is, whole
some, digestible and comparatively
cheap food.

RAISING THE CALF.
when Properly Done 1t Is a Money
Making Operation.

Making operation.
The market value of cow raised on
the farm does not represent the whole
profit of the operation, says a CORE
spondent of American Cultivator. The
is likely to give better satisfaction than
one which has come out by chance and
which has been sold by its owner for
some good reason, but l reckon that
calf raising is also a fairly good money
making operation. estimate the value
of the young calf fit to raise at 81, milk
for ten days $3.50, oilmeal and other
grains $3.50, hay $1.25, grass six to
eight months $3.50, calf meal for four
months ST. labor $1.25, total about $50,
bringing the calf to year of age, at
which time, if she is of the proper
stock, the value should be about $50,
leaving a clear margin of about 50
profit.
My calves are weaned at four months
cid, having used up to that time about
81 worth of milk. Some calves would,
of course. be worth more &C twelve
months old, but none OF proper stock
and breeding should be worth less than
the amount have stated.
Calf raising gives no more trouble
ana costs no more than production Of
other farm specialties. 1t requires. say,
four months careful attention on the
part OF somebody, but the final resul =
repay all the bother attending the EARL
stages.

ARsoR DAY PROCLAMATION.

Obediently to established custom
and convinced of the wisdom of set
ting apart one day in spring for the
planting Of trees and shrubs and the
identifying of treeless spaces with
those forest growths that shall come
to mean spreading branches and re-
freshing shade, do designate Friday,
April 21, as Arbor Day for the state
Of North Dakota; and I recommend
and urge that that day be made day
of rest from customary avocations,
upon which the people of the state
shall unite in the adornment Of their
homes, schools and public places by
planting those trees and shrubs that
shall return Natures blessings of
beauty, symmetry and comfort to this
and coming generations. In TIE
schools of the state let suitable exer-
cises be held, teaching the wisdom
and special necessities of the culture
and care Of trees in our own state;
let the grounds about our public insti-
buttons be further adorned with for
est growths that in the passing years
shall be continuing source of bene-
fit and delight. Let our people unite
in an observance of this day that
shall earn the grateful praise of COM
ing generations.

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

The editor of the Pembina Pioneer
Express takes this view of the new
libel law: Editor Streeter of the EN-
mons County Record, who introduced
and had passed the new libel law, is
certainly getting his share of criticism
from the state press. Mr.. LaMoure
is also blamed for the passage of the
bill, but in his case he had some rea-
son for his action, as there is no man
in the state who has been more
thoroughly villified by irresponsible
newspaper men than he, and in most
cases the parties who have made at
tacks would not have been able to
have proven any foundation what
ever for the libel. But Editor
Streeter is supposed from the nature
of his profession to be immune from
the attacks of others, and would
naturally be supposed to want and
need the power of going for other
people without having to go to state
prison for it.. .....
In our opinion the, change in the
law will simply result in multiplying
the law, because Of the severity of
the penalty.
When libel case comes before an
intelligent jury, they will in such
cases, as they already do in many
cases, as they already do in many other
cases, just render a verdict according
toa law that they will pass in the jury
room, which will be to the effect that
except in some very extreme case
they will not send any man to state
prison for something he said in a
newspaper. e. s5 5s.5
Personally our own remedy for pos
sible libel suits has been not to libel.
If it's the truth that one wants to say
about official or other person, don't
apply epithets, just prove the fact in
the paper-and the reader will do the
rest. II one hasn't the legal proof,
better let It alone. And don't even do
it maliciously.
Too many editors seem to think
that their papers are to be used as
clubs, with which to kill everybody
and everything the editor don't hap
pen to like. And 1t Is because Of so
many fool editors Of this sort that
even wise men like legislators make
mistakes in attempting BY law to
force the fool editors to become as
wise as they are themselves.

the world In which the soil Is more
fertile chan in the Red River valley.
The soil consists OF very fine rock
-four, ground and pulverized by the
great ice sheet and deposited in Lake
Agassiz. This rock powder is known
as lacustrine silt. Upon the level bot
toms are tracts of very compact and
heavy soil, varying in area from few
square yards to few square miles
and known as "gumbo spots" Owing
to its tendency to bake into hard
blocks and it's impermeability to
water, which renders drainage diff
cult and frequently causes accumula-
ton of alkaline salts, the gumbo
areas are not desirable for farming
purposes. Along the rivers, beyond
the area of the Sheyenne delta, is a
mantle of river alluvium that rests
upon the original fine lake sediments.
This has a thickness of several feet
at the river banks and thins to an
attenuated sheet at some distance
from the streams. These alluvial
soils are among the most productive
Of the region. 49,.
The study of alkali in the soil is of
great Importance in this area, as in
all the adjacent portions of North
Dakota land Minnesota. In some To-
calities the alkaline salts in the soil
become a hindrance to agriculture.
Low places toward which the surface
drainage flows and from which the
waters cannot escape become in time
what are known as "alkali Spots" and
are wholly unproductive. On the
other hand, the alkaline and other
mineral salts in the soil, when present
in not too great amount, add greatly
to the productiveness of the land, as
they furnish necessary plant food.
The problem of an adequate water
supply is of great Importance in this
area. The largest streams are never
dry, and the smaller only during dry
seasons, but owing to the level char
acter of the region, their currents be-
come very sluggish during summer
and the water, which receives organic
matter from the river banks. is not
at all suitable for household purposes.
Outside the cities of Fargo and Moor
head fully nine-tenths of the popula-
ton is dependent upon wells for a
water supply for all purposes. The
shallow or seepage wells, the bored or
tubular pump wells, and the artesian
wells of the region are all described
in the folio. The records of over 100
wells in the Casselton and Fargo
quadrangles are tabulated. The folio
contains topographic maps of the two
quadrangles, as well as maps made by
Messrs. Hall and Wilder under the
direction of Mr.. N. H. Darton, repre-
senting the areal geology and the
artesian waters Of the region.
