RANCH AND FARM.

R. H. Flint, assistant dairy commits
sioner at Bismarck. wants to hear from
all parties interested in dairy work with
a view to arranging meetings wherever
there is sufficient interest to warrant.
Martin Kupper, a homesteader north
east of Dickinson, raised 800 bushels of
grain this year on sod. At the home
farm on Green river 3, 200 bushels of
oats and 800 bushels of wheat were
raised. The Kuppers also shipped 2 cars
of cattle. Their grain will be held until
spring for better prices. A soft. coal
vein on the river bank keeps the family
in spending money
Prominent fockmasters in Montana

weather, and conditions were never
more promising.

It will be noticed that when bran and
shorts are fed at the rate 3 to / there is
always an ample supply of protein in
the ration. and when the mixture is
composed of S parts of bran and i part

falls short of the standard and there is
an excess of carbohydrates. 1t is there
fore suggested that the grain mixture be
composed of 7 parts of bran and / part

Fine Vaudeville

The new vaudeville bill at the Unique
theatre the first of the week proved to be
another head-liner. There were two
acts on the program and both were we'll
received by crowded houses at every per-
Torrance during the engagement. For
the past two weeks, Manager R. F.
Warren, has been giving his patrons
some excellent vaudeville and if. the
same standard is maintained, the popu-
arity of the amusement house will
steadily increase.
The hit of the bill was made by Nadel
and Hill in a clever sketch. Astounding
in the latest slang expressions and in
PRODUCING several pleasing musical num-
bers. The sketch represented a summer
filtration between a country maiden and
a city chap. The latter was especially
good and his two songs were fine. The
closing number, las Long as the World
Rolls On" introduced some novel effects
and the whole sketch merited the hearty
applause it received at each performance.
Noel, in female representations, was
an act out of the ordinary rut. Until he
removed his beautiful blonde hair at the
close of the act, few were aware that the
singer was a man. He sang a couple of
songs with a lightning change of cos
tunes. The songs were intended to be
French music hall numbers but did not
make the hits his selections in English
did. The closing feature introd uced
some good toe dancing.
The pictures were very interesting and
included several subjects After a sew
eral days absence from the program,
Miss Spear entertained with ar excep-
tionally pleasing illustrated song, THE
Kerry Mills Barn Dance" The illus
trations were as fine as have yet been
offered with any song. Mrs. Baxter has
returned to her old place at the piano.
to the satisfaction of the patrons, all Of
whom enjoy her playing as much as any

- she will eat up clean. 1t will pay to
weigh the grain out to each cow twice a
day. One soon becomes quite expert in
this. "a little time is required. There are
always some individual cows that do
not take the amount Of hay prescribed,
and they should have a little more grain.
Under careful feeding the COWS will soon
acquire the habit of eating the hay up
clean. while under careless feeding they
soon get the habit of picking out the
best and wasting considerable.
The matter of handling the herd with
great care and gentleness is important.
Cows should be taught to 90 out and
into the barn or stable leisurely and
each should be taught to 60 into her
stall. They should also be kept abso-
lutely comfortable. They should be kept
in the barn at all times when they are
more comfortable there than they would
be outside. The inside of the maneer
next to the COW should not be over eight
inches high so the head will be in a
natural position when lying down. An
ample supply of clean bedding should
always be provided. Under the MANAGE
ment of a kind, methodical, generous.
quiet, industrious husbandman, the
herd will soon partake of his character

Helps to Dairy Farmers
Given in Letter to the Brown
Dairy from Expert at Mime
sofa Agricultural College.

In answer to a request of the Brown
Dairy of Dickinson, T. L. Hacker, the
head of the dairying department of the
University of Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment Station of St. Paul, has
written a valuable article on the relative
feeding value of barley and shorts.
which is of much interest to all farmers
i'll this vicinity.
Ormanzo Brown, of the Brown Dairy,
is always anxious to learn the best
methods of dairyine and his patrons ap-
preciate his efforts of finding out how
to get the best returns from his cows.
The letter and answer are as follows:
North Dakota Reconsideration.
N. D. Twill you kindly give me the
relative feeding value of barley and
shorts for milk production? have been
feeding my cows all the western North
Dakota prairie hay they will eat, and
one pound of the following mixed feed
to every three pounds of milk. l mix
800 pounds of bran and 100 pounds OF
shorts. Up to this fall that has been
the only feed available. This fall !
can get bran at $40, shorts at $22.
ground barley at $22 and ground oats at
$23. go. Will you kindly formulate for me
a ration to 60 with this prairie hay, fol-
cows weighing from 1000 to 1000
pounds in all periods of lactation giving
from 1 to 40 pounds of milk daily
The Brown Dairy.
In case where only prairie hay il
available shorts is preferable to barley
although the latter is a most excellen,
milk feed. At the prices stated brar
costs 1 cent per pound, shorts and barley
l.. cents each and oats 1.95 cents. A
COW weighing H. 90 pounds and yielding
40 pounds of milk daily, testing 3.5 pc
cent butter fat, will require approx
mately the following nutrients in he
daily ration:

required 2.W 1890 IL
Where mixed prairie hay is to be fed
for roughage and the grain mixture is
composed of 3 parts bran and 1 part
shorts the following is suggested:
The Dickinson press., 1908-12-19

A COW weighing 1000 pounds, in fair
working condition. will take only 20
pounds of prairie hay, adding to this IL
pounds of the first grain mixture, being
3 parts bran and 1 part shorts, We have
the following:
The Dickinson press., 1908-12-19

In this combination there is slight
excess in protein and a slight shortage
in carbohydrates, but since there is al
ways some variation in the composition
of feeds and the same being true in re-
gard to the composition of milk, the
rations need not exactly meet the stand
ard. At the prices stated the grain in
the ration costs Is cents.
In case it is desired to feed some
barley and oats in the. ration, a grain
mixture may be made composed of S
parts of bran and 1 each of barley and
oats.
The Dickinson press., 1908-12-19

In this formula the 16 pounds of grain
in the ration costs 16. 81 cents. 1t is a
trile low in protein and high in car
b%ohydrates. 1t is. however, considered
a better ration because it contains three
kinds of grain, while the first ration con-
tanned the by-products of wheat only.
There are also properties in both oats
and barley that. are considered beneficial.
AS a further illustration how rations
may be adjusted to the needs of any
member of the herd, it will be assumed
that a COW yields 80 pounds of milk,
testing 3.5 per cent fat and weighs
1, 900 pounds.
