Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending May IL, 1905
Des Moines, Iowa. Low temperature
continued through the first half of the
week, and frost was reported on several
mornings from stations in the northern
half OF the state. The latter part was
much warmer, but the average temper-
ature for the week was below normal.
The weather during the fore part of
the week was also cloudy and wet.
Copious but cold rains were general on
the 4th and 5th. Warmer weather
prevailed during the last three days
with showers in all parts of the state
on the 10th and 11th. Field work has
been retarded by the wet weather, but
the moisture was badly needed, espe-
cially in the southern sections. Late
reports indicate that plums, peaches,
early cherries and early apples, were
seriously injured in the southern and
central districts, still fair crop is
assured. In the northern districts the
damage was slight and confined to the
early varieties of cherries. Some
damage to oats is also reported, but
this will probably be overcome by
abundant moisture and higher temper
ature. There has been some corn
planted in all parts of the state. and
planting will be general as soon as the
weather will permit.

to give it worthy presentation. Miss
Florence Fields carries the title role,
Rose Trelawney;while Elsie Woellstein,
Ruth Thayer, Mayme Gender, Leon
DeNoyelles, Charles Nichols and John

mark they must reach and are deter
mined to surpass it.

the Class Day exercises will be held in
the High School room. On Thursday

ions have been offered in them and
both tentatively accepted. We will
publish the completed list next week.
Senior examinations are on this
week. Senior exams, class play, ora
tions, toasts, dresses and new suits, -
the worried look is accounted for.

ALFALFA siLAGE.

Can first crop alfalfa be safely siloed7
Should It be put In from right behind the
mower or should it be partially dried?
Would a si!o 12x20 be large enough to
hold six to eight acres OF the alfalfa?
What tonnage would this size silo hold?
crop alfalfa is because the first cutting
comes during the rainy season. when 1t Is
liable to be spoiled for hay"
Wallaces' Farmer gives the following
reply to the above inquiry from a Nebras-
ka farmer:
Alfalfa silage Is very similar to clover
silage- On account OF Its richnes IN pro-
TEN 1t forms a very desirable feed for
growing stock and dairy cattle. 1t is like
clover. moreover, in requiring either q
very deep silo or else weighing Of the
silage to sufficiently pack 1t to keep 1t
from spelling. Da!rymen who have had
much experience In SLIDING alfalfa state
that 1t Is easier to produce sweet alfalfa
silage than 1t 10 to put up good alfalfa,
hay. Moreover. in putting up alfalfa sill
age there Is only a loss Of about 10 per
cent from spelling, while In putting up
the hay there Is q loss of from 16 to 80
per cent caused by knocking off OF the
leaves and bad weather. In handling al
faifa sflase, CoburH recommends putting
up the alfalfa as soon as possible after
moving in order to keep the moisture,
which gives silage It's great value OF sue
culence and paia:abil!ty.
A siio 12120 feet should be about the
Ugh size to held the first cutting from
a six to eight-acre field Of alfalfa. In
building a.. stlo for alfalfa, however, we
get tho pressure which is necessary to
keep alfalfa silage from spelling. A a!o
OF the dimensions mentioned should hold
about Is tens.

TREATMENT Of STOCK.

mere are Individual characteristics in
animals Just as there are In men; some
are born cranky and others docile, says
h St. Louis Journal Of Agriculture. This
fact should be borne In mind when train
Ing colts or calves. Poor treatment OF the
young animals has a decidedly unpleasant
effect upon the grown animal, and the
fruits OF careless or impatient treatment
Will generally boomerang back to the
master when The animal reaches maturity.
The mistreated calf will kick the milk
pail over; the small colt Kicked and 1erked
about and fretted to death will balk, kick
and act stubborn. Haven't you noticed
that some cows and horses like to be
petted or fondled aroun the head and
others get ugly II Q get too familiar
with them?
Disposition is both born and made.
Born Kindness and ugly tempers are
things that nay be developed. The skill
ful trainer can overcome even a bad dis
position by kindness, IL taken in time.
Parental conditions surrounding the dam
have much to do with the making of dis
position in the young. The dam should be
treated kindly and kept free from annoy
sances that irritate the temper. Kindness
Is reflected in the offspring. Then what
little inherent tendency to be cross may
be overcome by kindness.

THE RAISING OF sHEEP.

No other branch of the live stock indus
try has had more ups and downs than
sheep raising. In some sections, particu-
larry the extreme southwest, sheep are
raised almost solely for wool, because in
q warm climate, where winters are late
ana mild. the sheep can be sheared twice
a year. In other sections sheep are raised
more for meat than for wool. o.. C. Gregg,
q Minnesota farmer, says:
During q comparatively recent time the
sheep have come to have a peculiar value
by reason of their meat product. The NUT
ton sheep Of today gives 1t largest re-
turn from the meat which is produced.
The use of mutton as food in our large
cities and towns has greatly increased
during the past few years. 1t is certainly
unhusinesslike to discount the flock of
sheep as heavily today as heretofore be-
cause the wool clip is sold at a much less
figure than a short time ago. We say this
for the benefit OF the man who owns a
flock of mutton sheep today. We say
this also for the benefit of the man who
is thinking Of buying a flock of sheep. 1t
Is a good time to buy. We have had quite
a successful experience with sheep in Min
nesota. We had some experience, how
ever, that cost us something. We will
now d a few items OF our costly expert
ence that may do some of our readers
good.
First-Keep only good sheep of the NUT
ton variety upon the farms OF the middle
west.
Second-Don't keep too many. 1 think
that the limit of 100 breeding ewes is
about right upon the average middle
west farms. Better keep under than over
that number.
Third-Use the greatest OF care in the
selection OF the sire SO that he has great
yigor. I believe that there Is as much OF
more i~rregularity in quality among the
full blooded mutton sheep as In any other
stock that we have. First. let 1t be strong
and then get all the good hind back and
quarter that you can.
the flock in the winter
time as much as possibly in the open. Let
them lave plenty of exercise. We have
fed as little as possible in the sheds, do
Ing this only in times of storm.
Fifth-Let the sheds protect only from
sweeping and falling storms. Don't let
them be sheltered in warm stables.
the greatest OF care in the
change of pasture SO that the stomach
worm does not assail and cause serious
loss among the lambs.
Seventh-Be sure and dip the sheep at
least once a year. Keep a clean flock. 1t
can surely be done. 1t costs to keep sheep
that are infested with parasites.
Eighth-Ever bear in mind that 1t Is
much easier to prevent the diseases in
sheep than to cure them when they once
become hxed.
