Outlook for the Stock Farmer

Once in a great while the grain
farmer makes larger profits than the
stock farmer, but the odds are usually
against the former. Last year was an
exception to the general rule. Grain
prices were unusually high and stock,
on account of the financial furry late
in the year, low. The stockman, we
believe, is now facing year that will
bring him excellent returns, and he
who takes the best of care of his
breeding stock will be we'll repaid for
the labor and expense incurred there
by. When cattle, hog and sheep prices
declined many stock raisers and
farmers, too, sold as much of their
stock as possible in order to keep the
feed bills down. Many sold much
closer than they would have done un-
der normal conditions.
The season so far has been most
propitious for the growth Of all kinds
of grasses. Pastures are at least

four weeks ahead of last year and a
large hay crop is assured. Unlike last
spring, there is full stand of clover
everywhere, practically nothing hav-
ing been killed. Small grains look
healthy, the stand is perfect and corn
fields, taking the country as whole,
have seldom looked better at this
time of year than they do now.
All Of these things indicate that the
hay barns will be filled to overlooking
this fall, and that the granaries will
be bulging with the fruit of the soil;
and because Of the liberal cashing In
Of live stock that has been taking
place during the past six months OF
more, there will no doubt be an un.
precedented demand for the products
of the Stockman this fall. The breed

ming to feel this demand coming Dur
ing the last few months the general
average Of cattle and hog sales has
been excellent and there can be nc
question about advances along this
line in the very near future.

tredge and his votaries propose delib
erately to deliver them over to the
democratic party in spirit of re-
venge. The defeat of one man is eS
teemed of more Importance by the
discredited stalwart leaders than the
existence of dominant party, and re.
linQuishing the effort to reinstate
their deposed leader at some future
time, they now propose to become a
later "Quantrell's Guerilla Band
and resort to bushwhacking the vic
tors over a lost cause.
The stalwart nominees for congress
hardly have that hold upon the affec-
tions Of the people or the republican
party that they can withstand the re-
action that would follow a rebellion
against the head of the ticket.

Dangerous Tactics.

The Sioux City Tribune under the
above head has the following in re-
gard to stalwart threats against pro-
gressive candidates.
The covert threats of the stalwarts
of South Dakota to procure the defeat
of Coe I. Crawford for the United
State Senate Is about the most i'll ad-
vised utterance ever heard from any
faction of any party whether in the
throes of defeat or in the flush of vic
tory. The republicans of South Dakota
have been generous with the leaders Of
the stalwart faction in state politics.
While encom passing the defeat OF Sen
ator Kittredge upon the ground of his
corporation leanings, there has been no
effort to humiliate him, and in the
face Of his defeat a nominal victory
has been accorded to the stalwart for
ces through the nomination of E. W..
Martin and Charles H. Burke for con-
greSs.
Still averse to accepting the verdic t
of the people on men and measures,
the newspaper organ of Senator Kit
tredge, assuming to speak for him and
other defeated lieutenants in the ar
my of the stalwarts, demands of R.
S. Vessey, nominee for governor, that
he state categoricaly whether in case
of election he would continue the poll
cies of Governor Crawford: the infer
ence being that a positive answer will
insure the concentrated effort of the
remaining fragments of the stalwart
element to encompa his defeat, even
If to do so involves the necessity of
breaking over party lines and voting
for democratic candidate for COVER
nor.
Coincident with this expression
there appears an abusive letter from
General S. J. Conklin, approved in de-
tail by the Ktttredge organ, condem-
ming Crawford and his policies even
to the point of 1illification, and COM

to six inches long, but we are strong
ly inclined to the opinion that there
would be difference of from one
third to one-half in the total amount
of forage produced in a season, in
favor Of the well kept pasture. If
this is true it would seem as though
farmers should realize that they are
imposing needless hardShips on their
own pOcketbooks by not providing
more grass SO as to give their pastures
a chance to keep up with or stay
ahead OF the consumption Of their
stock.
A sprinkling of manure will help
the grass along remarkably. For this
purpose spreader is needed, partly
to get the manure spread evenly and
partly to make it possible to cover
more land with given quantity. 10
loads Of manure per acre applied
every three or four years will yield
much larger returns than 20 loads per
acre applied every six or seven years.
With the aid Of Spreader it is as easy
to cover an acre with seven or eight
loads as 1t is to cover the same ground
with 20 loads by the old hand spread
ing method. If the barnyard has not
been cleaned this spring every spare
moment should be devoted to clear
ing out the manure and spreading it
on pastures or meadows. Manure al
lowed to lie in the yard for four to
seven months during the summer sea-
son loses, through teaching and fer
mentation, anywhere from 80 to SO
per cent of it's fertiliZing value. There
is no economy in this sort of manage
ment; every pound of fertility is need
ed on every farm in our territory re-
gardless of it's present state of culti-
vatiOn. You cannot manure land too
heavily for grass. Today the average
pasture, even where land is worth
from SlOO to $3.50 an acre, cannot sup
port more than one mature head of
cattle to two acres, whereas it ought
to support one head per acre.
Many pastures are allowed to grow
up to weeds at this time of year. This
is great injury; weeds not only rob
the land Of fertility, but they are also
great water consumers and thus de-
prive the grass of needed nourish-
ment. Not only that, but they pro-
duce seed, and like all other plants
are busy reproducing themselves to
continue their hold on the soil in the
great struggle for existence. While
a good stand of grass may ultimately
kill out the weeds, It may take sew
eral years to do it and during that
time the grass is kept from spreading
and properly occupying the soil. Go
into your pasture and examine it
closely and you will probably find that
only one-half the soil is engaged in
supporting grass The other half is
supporting nothing, or else it is grow
ing weeds.
If your meadow is producing one
and one-half tons of clover and tim
othy to the acre and only one-half of
the ground is occupied, how much
would it produce if f~every available
inch were covered with plants? The
great value of an old blue grass pas
ture is due largely to the fact that 1t
has solid sod. Every inch of soil is
supporting as many plants as can be
crowded together. by keeping down
the weeds you wiz encourage the
growth and spread of the grass and
thereby secure productive pasture
much earlier than if you allow the
weeds to have their own way. Use
the mower.

STRANG MAY WIN GRAND PRIx

Lewis Strang, when he starts on
July 7 over the forty-elght mile Dieppe
circuit to win the Paris Grand Prix
race in a Thomas car will tackle a
proposition the difficulties Of which
he well knows. As mechanlcian for
Walter Christie In the last Grand Prix
he drove the circuit scores Of times.
He knows Its turns and twists, It's
rises and decliyitles, as well as the
turns and curves at Briarcliff.
His victory at Brlarcliff was in a
measure due to his familiarity with
the Briarcllff course, and his familiar
lty with the Dieppe circuit will give
him q tremendous advantage over any
American driver save Christie, who
might pilot the Thomas car.
Strang is the type of driver to get

with Christie, he learned his lesson
