power, to be one of the most eco
nomical grinders for the farm. Such
an outfit will crush corn on the ear
and grind small grains in very
satisfactory manner. The expense
of the mill is small and the horses,
required ITO propel it on the farm in
winter do not, as a rule, get proper
exercise, hence, the power costs
nothing. A gasoline engine attached
to a double grinder will do more
work and possibly better work than
the sweep horse power mill but they
are much more expensive. The wind
wheel has been used as a power to
grind feed, but, the gasoline engine
now takes their places for the pur-
pose. In view of the fact that grain
is high and that it's feeding value is
much increased by grinding we firm
ly believe every stockman should
own and use a feed mill this winter!
Grind for the horses, COWS, pigs and
calves. Keep a generous supply Of
ground feed on hand and do not at
tempt to grind every day.

DIKEs III GERMANY.
They Arc Built With Great Care and
Exactnsss.


Exactnsss.
When a dixie is to be built-and they
are still in places making dikes-it is
first mapped out by the neatly sharp
ened stakes, long straight causeway
leading out from shore and widening
into a rounded head which abuts on
the red line Of the channel. Then q
ground sill or foundation mattress Of
willows is woven and sunk at this
head and pinned down and held in
place by the sharpened pegs. Then
wattles are woven and sand filled in,
and in places rock, and then, rounding
up neatly out of the water and form
ing tight covering to the whole, tho
hand squared blocks of stone are laid,
as closely as city pavement, all over
the head and back along the neck to
the old shore. 1t is as permanent and
stable as the Harvard stadium, the
dixie so built, and the river, abandon
ing the space back of the tip to slack
water or to be filed In with sand,
flows on with entire grace in the re.
stricted channel beyond the tip.
The care and exactness with which
these bikes are made would be laugh
able if it were not so successful. In a
land where hand labor is very cheap
days are devoted to doing what In
America would be roughly cast by ma
chinery in couple of hours. But the
result is so admirable that one re-
members regretfully the ugly pile
bikes, the horrid fringes Of the i'm
proved '.of channel banks Of the Mis-
sissippi.
Where the bikes have accomplished
their purpose and generally on the
banks opposite to them the river is
reverted above middle water. This.
too, Is done with the hand squared
stones, and as result the Elbe where
completely finished resembles broad
canal between stone lined banks, the
stone rising a few feet above che wa
ter. and above it the green slope of the
fields or fringe of willows. 1t is all
peaceful, complete and generally beau
tiful, with at least the beauty Of util!
ity where it lacks that Of ruggedness
and wildness. Transcript.

marllable conditions In the matter of
the principle of special benefits in
drainage bitches. There was time
when a man could not empty surplus
water from his farm on to the farm of
his neighbor without the latter's con-
sent and without a. continuation of the
drain across several farms no drain
age could be secured. Then in the very
wet lands it was necessary to extend
bitches for twenty miles or more to
seek an outlet. A Moses appeared in an
Iowa legislature with law which per-
mitted farm owners by majority vote
for the purpose of making drainage
special assessments and issuing drain
age bonds in large sums. Thus the
owners of majority of the land for
almost any distance regardless of pre-
vious political districts could join in
drainage work on an extensive scale,
levy the taxes and distribute the bur
den over a period of years. and upon
the land benefited. The result in a
very few years has been the best
drained state in the union.
Here is the star leading a way. An
form in the road laws providing for
special road districts, tax levies upon
the land benefited, bond issues and
both county and road district aid.
When Iowa land reaches 5000 per acre
as it will now within a very short time,
pavements nine feet wide on
one side for wet weather travel with
we'll dragged dirt roads on the other
side for dry weather travel could be
built under the special road district
and twenty-five veal; bond plan for an
tax Of SO cents per acre upon
pavement and % cents per acre upon
the quarter sections within the special
road districts, extending, say two miles |
back in each direction from the paved !
road.
Many man has been enthusiastic
for a drainage ditch which would cost |
him $40 per acre on land that was not |
worth more than $50 per acre before
and it is not an idle dream at all to
Talk about a total outlay of $3.50
per acre in twenty-five annual pay
nents for concrete pavement from a
mans mail box to his grocery store.
One acre of potatoes per annum would
oay it, furthermore a tax of SO cents
ger acre is per cent on $40. and any
mans farm today would jump $40 per
acre in value the moment the pavement
vas laid by his. gate. Let's have law
'eform for special road districts. Let's
,pportion the tax one-third to the
county at large including city property,
one-t third to the special district and
,ne- third to abutting property The
arm owners would do the rest.

Community Breeding.

Pride generally causes us to get
something different from what our
neighbor has. Whether we can beat
him in price or not we get something
different, and of course it is better
because we secured it. If one farmer
plants a particular variety Of corn
his neighbor is more apt to plant
some other variety than to use the
same kind.
If one dairyman starts to breed
Holstein cattle his neighboring farm
err will choose the Jersey, the Guern-
sey or some other breed.
It perhaps never occurs to him
that a better market will result
where he joins hands with his neigh
boring farmers in breeding tho same
line of stock. Buyers will pay more
for the same stock when they can
secure their needed supply in one
locality This applies to any product
sold from the farm.
Community breeding or commu-
nifty production of the same kind of an
article is merely working out another
principle of the cooperative idea.

Indiana Dairy Investigations.

! Scientists at the Indiana experiment
station have completed series of in
vestigations on the keeping of dairy
herds. The conclusions they have
reached are summarized below:
| The results shown are above the av-
erage for Indiana dairy herds. The
poorest dairynen keep the most inferior
cows and are seldom willing to have
their herds tested.
! The best herd averaged 6,6566 pounds
of milk and BOIL pounds of butter
fat.
The poorest herd averaged 3.347.5
pounds of milk and 1928 pounds of
| butter fat.
The best COW produced 10,426
pounds of milk containing 4SS pounds
of butter fat.
| The poorest COW produced 3.24S
pounds of milk containing 448 pounds
of butter fat.
The average of the 1877 yearly re-
cords was: Milk, 5.9O15 pounds; but
ter. fat, 2445 pounds.
With the prices used, the best herd
returned $2.56 for 81 in food, while
the poorest herd returned only $1.2O for
81 in food
Large yielding cows were the most
economical producers. Those yielding
over $50 pounds Of butter fat pro-
duced it at IL cents per pound and
made an average profit of $3.50, while
, those yielding less than 200 pounds of
butter fat produced it at 10 cents per
pound and made an average profit of
$10.7S.
The difference between systematic
grading and no grading was sixty-four
pounds of butter fat per COW.
The average profit in graded herds
was $1,000; in non-graded herds 1882.
The non-graded herds charged 31@
cents more per pound for butter fat
than the graded herds.
Since careful grading and good man
agement have not only increased the
production of butter at Ga pounds per
COW, but also reduced it's cost Of pro-
duction to the amount Of 31s cents per
pound rapid Improvement should be
sought thru the continuous use of high
class dairy SIZES of some recognized
breed.
The dairymen must keep yearly rec
ords of their individual cows, discard
the poor ones and raise the heifer
calves from the best cows by a pure
DreQ sire. RECORDS LOT SIlOTL peFlouS
are inconclusive.
A pure-bred dairy sire is the milk
producers best investment; anything
short of pure-bred male is too ex-
pensive at any price.
Twenty-Five per cent Of the cows
reported produced less than 200 lbs OF
butter fat and made an average profit
og only SLOTS.
Only per cent Of the cows reported
produced $50 or more pounds of but
ter fat, making an average profit of
$3.50.
Even tho these herds are above the
average, six cows were kept at a loss,
forty-nine made less than $11 profit,
and 81 per cent of the herds contained
Improbable cows.
good herd frequently contains one
or two very poor cows; testing will
show which they are.
Cows vary in their production from
year to year, hence the Importance of
more than one years record.
On an average, 100 pounds of milk
cost four times as much as one pound
of butter fat.
The average profit of the 1877 COWS
was $3.50. This can easily be doubled.
