Wnen yield only q small
amount Of hay, 1t frequently pays to
turn them up and cultivate them for
two or three years. Manuring some-
times does not help matters. The soil
needs turning up, SO that the sunlight
can sweeten It. +
In studying reports from various sec
tons, we notice frequent mention of
the increase In dairy operations, and
horse breeding. These things show the
trend Of affairs. Surely the outlook is
encouraging for high draft colts com
encouraging for high prices for oil dairy
products; and the man who has Two or
three good draft colts coming on :.as a
sure thing.
1t is too late row to think about the
meat supply for the summer months,
and it Is strange how many prefer
to sell their nice young hogs at 6 cents
q pound and then pay from Ice to 22c
per pound for cured meats for the UNI
mer table.
The man who has two or three good
cows and a bunch of Plymouth Rocks,
can defy the meat combine or any
other combine. The COW and the hen
have paid for more luxuries for the
farm homes than the corn crops, and
at the same time have taken care Of
the grocery bills.
There is not much need Of advice
this season on thinning fruit. The
spring freezes have attended to that
tn most localities, yet where trees es-
capped these late frosts they are load
ed Under such short crop conditions
1t will be well to save as much of the
crop as possible, butadon't sacrifice the
grade of you whole crop by leaving
too much fruit on the trees to mature.
With the prospect of short small
grain crops n short hay crops, it be-
hooves every corn grower to make his
acres count this season. We are up
to cultivation now. The yield. next
fall will depend largely on how well we
do the work in the cornflelds during the
next -four weeks.
Don't spoil a mellow field by starting
the oultivators at once after a heavy
rain. Give the ground time to dry Off
q little. II the work is kept well in
hand the weeds can be easily kept in
check. without jumping into the corn
fields when the soil turns up too wet.
Don't compromise on the stallion.
Brood the mares to good horses or don't
breed at all. There is q great search
" Of desirable stations in the coun-
try, and this will naturally induce own
ers to put u inferior horses. A well
bred draft colt is a good asset. but
a nondescript Is worse than no colt at
ell.
A good Iowa farmer tells us that he
is going to drop oats from his rota-
ton. He says. of late seasons. It has
delayed corn planting. ana he Is tired
of sowing oats in mud. He is going to
drop oats and use barley for a seeding
crop with grass.
In answer to a correspondent. alfalfa
may be sown any time up to July Is.
with a good chance of success, Many
alfalfa growers say 1t may be sown
even so late MS September. The msin
point is to make a good seed bed. frtea
of weeds. SO that the young plants may
make a good start.

the surface soil must be rich and in

Dairymen say that their COWS like
best the clover hay that is merely will

such hay will come out of the NOW in
great fakes and with a decided musty
appearance, but the cows like it.

Cheap mixtures Of clover and timothy
seed are very expensive before you get
through with them. In the first place
1t takes more seed, n then you have
a good, stiff fight on your hands to get
rid of weeds. Pay a dollar per bushel
more and get clean seed,

As a soil improver clover is the most
important of all u crops. This sea-
son has shown the necessity Of having
the soil in good mechanical condition
with plenty Of humus. Glover does
this.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1907-07-04

Musty clover hay is usually caused
by dew or rain. Clover cut in the
morning while the dew is still on, Or
hauled in when damp from rain, will
nearly always come from the NOW
muSty.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1907-07-04

Every one breads fly time. It means
discomfort for the cows and loss of
milk. Screen the windows and arrange
some gu1iny sacks in the doors. so that
when the cows go into the. stable the
sacks will brush off the flies and keep
them outside.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1907-07-04

p COWS will appreciate 1t If you.
will cut your clover when the heads are
about one-third brown. At thai stage
you will not get quite SO much hay in
quantity. but h quality will make up,
and the cows will turn out more milk.

II Is risky to put clover in stack or NOW

1t is too late now to think about the
meat supply for the hummer months,

Many a woma mas asked, What
makes my milk sour SO quicklyp''
Dirty pals and cans or crooks, and not
keeping the milk cool enough, does the
mischief. If milk is kept twenty-four
hours or longer, it should be cooled to
sixty or sixty-two degrees.

BY starting with a few good cows

building to have a herd of select COWS

in mind that the bull constitutes more
than half the herd.

Salt and water are two things very
essential to the nailch cows. Rock salt
placed under the sheds. in boxes, is
good. Water should be handy so that
the cows can reach 1t any time while
they are In the pasture.

thereby produced, which was then fro

was obtained by the addition of vanil-

that ice cream composed as above is

Torture, which was until very recently

The methods Of execution now used
by the several nations are many. Great

United States still cling to hanging.
The garrote, still used in Spain and |
most Of the Spanish-American coun-
tries, is a collar attached to an up
right post, through both of which
passes a powerful wooden screw. The
criminals neck is placed in the collar,
and the eXecutiOner with one sharp
turn Of the screw breaks the victims
neck. 1t is a method similar in its
action to hanging. but more certain to
cause instant death.

oriental countries the bowstring is the
method of execution. This is a stout
