Kansas Hog WalIows.

Farmers in the Kansas oil fields re-
port great results from a novel use Of
crude OIL For lice On hogs they find
the costly dipping tank unnecessary.
The ordinary hog wallow is better. A
thin layer of crude oil is poured over
the water in the wallow The hogs do
the rest. Every louise, tick, flea and
other pests is destroyed The hogs are
said to learn very soon to skim the
oil and swallow it, to their great ad-
vantage. @R
If the water dries up, the oil rests on
the bottom Of the wallow until the
next rain, when it rises to the top and

the floor, with crude oil. Two applica-

Crude oil is cheap. A barrel Of it
should be kept and used on every
farm. The small enemies of stock

Care of Frozen Trees.

There is a saying among nurserymen
that sit is the thawing and not the
freezing of the roots Of trees that in
jures them" If trees arrive in a frozen
them is to plant them at once or imi-
tate the process as near as possible by
packing the roots in soil or sand with
out exposing them to thawing. Let
them tbaw out slowly-the slower the
better. 1t is not a good plan to throw
the roots into water. If the roots are
allowed to thaw in a cellar without
cover or if exposed while frozen to
warm air they will be seriously in
jured.-Country Gentleman.

FOR REFORM IN TAXATION,
Carl Wallace. of Minneapolis, Adj
dresses rlOrris Business Men.

| Carl Wallace, of Minneapolis, adj
dressed meeting of Morris business
men at the armory yesterday morn
ing and tho he spoke but short time
succeeded in arousing considerable
interest in the matter of having the
right kind of tax legislation passed by
the legislature this winter.
Mr.. Wallace has been a member of
the legislature for three regular
and also one special session and
during all that time has been a mem
Der OF the tax committee of the house,
and at the last session was chairman.
He has been much in terested in the
matter of taxation reform, and was
especially interested the past fall in
the passage of the so-called wide open
tax amendment.
lnasmuch as the passage of that
amendment is now an assured fact.
Mr.. Wallace desires to see tax reform
legislation of the right kind enacted.
Minnesota now has an opportunity to
enact the best tax code of any state in
the union, tax code which will be the
model for all other states, and place
Minnesota in the lead of those states
which desire to have progressive
system. It is Mr.. Wallace's idea there
fore, that our progress in tax legisla-
ton be made carefully, SO that our
taxation system will not become over
burdened with laws which will be hard
to get rid of after their aselessDess has
be proven.
He desires at the present time to
awaken the interest of the people in
the great opportunity which lies be-
fore them, amp as means thereto he
plans to have a meeting in ST. Paul
about the latter part of January for
the purpose of forming a tax reform
league.
After Mr.. Wallace had outlined his
ideas yesterday, the Importance of the
subject appealed to all present, and it
was decided to have meeting some
time later for the purpose of sending
delegates to st. Paul. III. L. Smith
was selected as chairman, and will call
such a meeting in due time.

FARM IRRIGATION.
Convenient Type OF Head Gate For
Private Ditch.

Private Ditch.
Each farmer needs q head gate to
control the flow from the main or
branch canal into his private ditch
This head gate should meet the re-
quirements of both the canal company
and the farmer The interests of the
company demand that it shall be water
tight when closed, large enough to adj
NIT the necessary flow and so made
that it cannot be raised above a given
height. The farmer is likewise inter
ested in having a substantial head gate
of ample size, but in addition he de-
sireS it to be designed in such way
that he can, when he chooses, close it
partly OR altogether. The head gate
Is placed az the edge of the canal,
and either g wooden box or pipe con-
veyS the water under the eL0bankment

standing first.

The margin of supply bitches on
most irrigated farms is the breeding
ground of weeds. The seeds of these
fall into the water and are widely scat
tered by the irrigation stream. The
banks of bitches should be graded and
smoothed so that the weeds which
grow along the sides can be readily cut
and burned. A rapid growing forage
crop like alfalfa also tends to keep
down the weeds and may be sowD
along the banks for this purpose.

IF the crop has taken place in Nebras

pf winter wheat to the total wheat pro-
1uction of the state amounted to about
ID per cent, while at present the spring
wheat produced bears about the same
relation to the total annual yield. Ne

winter wheat producing states, Kansas

BEET PULP.
Some Results of Feeding 1t to Cows
and Sheep.

Some Results of Feeding 1t to Cows
and Sheep.
In regard to beet sugar making and
the use of beet pulp for stock a writer
in Orange Judd Farmer says, among
other things. that the industry is grow
ing. which means a continually in
creasing acreage of sugar beets and
a greater supply of beet pulp each
year. The pulp has a feeding value
and is returned to farmers who want
1t for feeding. In view of this fact
and to give farmers not conversant
with the value of pulp some idea of
its worth as a stock food I will re-
count my experience.
When fed to milk cows it was found
that the dry matter of beet pulp and
corn silage were of equal value, but ow-
ing to the high percentage of water in
beet pulp twice as much Of it is re-
Morris tribune., 1906-12-29
quired to furnish a given amount Of
dry matter as Of corn silage.
Pulp Saves Other Feeds.

Pulp Saves Other Feeds.
When twenty to eighty pounds OF
pulp were fed per day there was a
saving of four to fourteen pounds Of
hay. The pulp had most beneficial
effect on the milk yield. Most of the
COWS were decreasing in milk flow at
the time, pulp feeding began. after
which there was an increase.
Lambs Made Good Gains.
Lambs made as good gains on pulp
as on corn at the Colorado station.
One ton of pulp was considered equal
to 200 pounds of corn; two pounds of
sugar beets were found to be equal to
about one pound Of pulp According
to this experiment, it paid to sell beets
and buy pulp. In trial with four lots
of lambs a ration of pulp and lucern
made gain at less cost and gave
larger profits than rations Of lucern,
pulp and grain, lucern and sugar beets
or lucern, sugar beets and grain. Pulp
fed sheep were weak boned, not very
fat, but produced mutton Of good fla
For. Lambs fed pulp in large quaint
lies had soft flesh and shrank heavily
when slaughtered. 1t is recommended
hat pulp be fed to greatest extent at
commencement of the feeding period.
