A Deserved Compliment

In its report OF the high school game
OF base ball between Brookings and
Lake Benton the News pays two of the
stars Of the local team a we'll deserved
compliment as follows:
Lake Benton was unable to make a
score in the ninth and twas a case Of
ten innings or loose when they went to
the field. Reeves opened for Brook
ings with a clean hit, stole second and
went to third on a sacrifice by Thayer.
Here is where the "squeeze" play
came in. There was one out and a
man on third and the best ball player
on the Brookings team at bat, Arne-
son.. Arneson signaled to Reeves to
get in action and the instant Bradley
started his delivery Reeves made a
dash for the plate and Arneson simply
stuck out his bat and rolled an easy
grounder to Bradley. Arneson PLAYED
his part to perfection and had Reeves
taken a better start the play could not
have been beaten, but Bradley hest
tated between throwing to first and the
plate the merest fraction Of a second
and Reeves dashed across the rubber
with the winning run. 1t was a clever
play and u that is almost always
successful when the batter hits a ground
ball"

ALFALFA MEAL.

"a new move in the development
of the alfalfa industry is the organi-

designs to put alfalfa on the market

ical form" the circular before us
S ates
1t is further explained in tho cir
cular that alfalfa meal is me-
chanical preparation of alfalfa. In
making the meal the alfalfa IL re-

The plan Of reducing alfalfa to a

us to be strictly logical develop

Alfalfa contains five to eight per
cent. more protein than shorts and
three to five per cent. more than
wheat bran, and it would appear to
need only the mechanical condition of
grinding to make the alfalfa pre-
ferred by feeders to either of the 9TH
ers. And in case the alfalfa meal
as meal meets the favor of the stock
men as the known feed value of the
plant seems to warrant, it will add
an element TO the stock food supply
which will quite dispose of the wheat
brain question. In other terms, il

and the corn grower will have at
command an unlimited supply of n
dilutant protein food to mix with
and balance his corn ration.

HARVEST TINE COMING.

The harvest season is nearing, the
time when old mother earth awards
prizes for faithful and intelligent work
and punishment to the lazy and shit
less. 1t is to be fruitful season. The
well-headed wheat, oats and barley
make beautiful picture as the fields
bend to the summer winds and wave up
and down as the pillows on a summer
sea; the pastures are covered with the
snow of the white clover bloom loading
the air with delicate fragrance that
minds one of the breath of the crab
apple and plum groves of the spring;
the red clover fields are a cardinal red.
heavy as seldom ever before, a lordly
crop above ground, while they have
richly stored the earth with food for
succeeding crop. The crop has fairly
reveled in the heat and moisture of June
and its green uniformed rank on rank
the golden wealth of great state.
Fruit is abundant, the bees all in the
clover surfeited with honeyed richness,
young ROSTERS Just trying to crow are
advertising their fitness for the frying
pan and their untimely end, the flowers
are all on dress parade. the red of the
roses, the royal purple of the wistarias,
while the grass is a velvety green. Fine
country to live in and fine time to live.
He that goeth forth weeping bearing
precious seed shall doubtless return re-
joicing bearing precious sheaves." This
is the time of rejoicing.

FROG RAISING.

Can you give me any information re-

Possibly you can refer me to some work
on the raising of frogs. We are think

Every year or so this frog ranch"
IDEA is started. 1t is much like skunk
farming! Most of the frogs and all the
profits are started by lead pencil in
some newspaper Office. Thousands of
pounds of frogs legs are sold every
year in the large cities. In New York
there is a good demand for these dam
ties, but so far as we can learn the frogs
are caught one by one by people who
make a business of hunting them in
creeks and swamps, chiefly in northern
New York and New England. So far
as we can learn there is no such thing
as frog ranch-which we take 1t is a
place where frogs are to be bred and
cared for artificially. The scheme will
not succeed, largely because the big
frogs eat the little ones up and pay no
such prices for the privilege as humans
will. The United States fish commits
sion at Washington has issued pamph-
let on the frog which is worth reading.
We have no desire to start frog farm
ing. The loss that would surely come
from 1t would make croakers out of
every one.

A NIGHT PASTURE.

During the cool of night after the
suns glaring face is hidden and those
incessant flies have hidden away fer a
few moments of rest-this is the time
for the over-heated and much worried
dairy COW to do the major part of her
pasturing. Many experienced COW men
keep the COWS in the barn all day and
allow them to pasture by night only.
By providing good ventilation and
darkening the windows with old gunny
sacks the flies give comparatively little
trouble Though this is well 1t is not
to be advised unless one is intensively
in the dairy business. Then he should
give the method fair trial. Keep ac-
count of quantity of milk given by the
herd for a week on pasture by day and
yard by night and then barn by day and
pasture by night for another week, then
again for week same as first week. or,
divide the herd equally and alternate
the two halves. l think there will be
little doubt that the night feeding will
show up better than the day, but wheth-
err there will be enough difference to
warrant the extra labor remains for
each man to decide for himself.

CARE IN FERTILIZING Or
CHARDS.
CARE

1t is hard to get the soil too rich. or
too full of vegetable matter for the best
production of vegetables. With fruits
the case is different. To secure Me best
results on thin land orchards must be
fertilized, but it must be done with
care and judgment. Excessive appli-
cations of stable manure. or other nitro
genous fertilizer. should always be
avoided, especially after trees reach
bearing age. Such applications induce
rank, sappy growth that makes pear
trees much more liable to blight, and
will surely cause destructive rotting of
the stone fruits. With apples there is
less danger. and they may safely be
fortified quite heavily. Excessive
wood growth is, however never desir-
able in bearing orchard of any kind
The trees should be carefully watched,
and be given such treatment as will
give a crop of well-developed fruit: and.
at the same time, moderate growth of
well-matured wood. The leaves should
always be of dark rich green. for
pinched yellow foliage indicates starva-
ton.

EGG-EATINa CURED.

Egg eating is not merely naughty

the most inveterate egg-eaters by
giving them plenty of albuminous
food, in cut green bone, meat, worms.

A friend wishes to know when field
corn is just right to cut up to go into
the silo. There have been some rad
zeal changes in opinion on this ques-
ton during the last few years. We
recall when il was thought that spe-
cial varieties of corn must be grown
for this purpose. corn with immense
stalks and but few ears. and that this
must be cut when full of water. which
resulted in quality of ensilage very
like sauerkraut and possessing a loud
odor Experience proved that there
was a better method and now it is
agreed that the corn should stand in
the field until well ripened the husks
and most of the leaves turned in color,
which makes, when put in the silo.
sort of dry silage. very fragrant,
palatable and nutritious and a far bet
ter feed than the old sort.
Such ensilage will often need more
or less water to be added to insure
compactness and does not have the
loosening effect upons.stoc to which
it is fed that the old. sort used to
have. There is this advantage about
the silo-that there is much longer
period of time in which to secure the
corn crop when so used than there is
in which to save it as cut corn. Then
there is absolutely no waste in feed
ing, against SO pr cent. waste in
feeding corn fodder prepared by any
other method.

COLONIZATION BY BEES.

1t has been assumed that the bios
some of various fruits are pollenized
by the winds as well as by bees and
other insects; but now the experiment
station authorities throw doubt on the
question. and Prof. Waugh states posi-
lively that pear and plum pollen can
not be conveyed by the winds, since
1t is sticky and gummy. Whether the
pollen of strawberries and raspberries
grapes and apple blossoms can be con-
veyed by the wind remains to be seen.
Most farmers are positive that the
pollen of corn is conveyed by the wind.
If the wind does not carry pollen
from one fruit blossom to another, we,
must certainly encourage bees to do
this work. Possibly all fruit growers
will have to keep bees.

now MUSTARD RoBS WHEAT.

The plant-foods in the soil consist of
certain salts or minerals, as common
table salt and saltpeter. Certain Of the
salts are abundant enough in the soil
at any one time to feed the crop for a
season or many seasons.
Others, such as saltpeter nitrate
scid) are liberated, become available TO
the plant, or are rendered soluble. only
gradually, that is, there may be enough
of the saltpeter in the soil to last a crop
only few weeks. As it is used. more
of this food is rendered soluble so that
1t can be used by the plant.
We have this process going on in the
soil during the growing season; the
humus or vegetable substance con-
stantly yields certain quantity of the
saltpeter, and the growing plants are
at the same time using portion of this.
When the growing crop contains weeds,
there are two classes of plants drawing
on this food substance.
Nearly all the weeds begin Towering
and ripening seels long before the
wheat or fax or corn begins maturing
its seeds. Now, plant that is flower
ing and ripening seeds draws a greater
amount of nutriment or food from the
soil, proportionately. than does plant
that is merely putting forth green
leaves. The demands of the mustard
or French weed upon the soil during
June and a part of July is greater and
more insistent than an equal amount of
wheat or other crop. and its demands
must be first supplied.
In other words, the French weed or
mustard is taking up the excess of salt
peter as rapidly as it is formed. leav-
ing no surplus food to be drawn upon
by the wheat or fax when its time comes
to blossom and produce seed.
