Morris tribune., 1909-01-30
Q.-Would you advise a poor mai
~ hux, 1opaC

A.-On general principles, yes.
Land is cheaper today than it ever
will be again and as rule terms OF
sale are easy enough SO that every
thrifty man can afford to invest.
Time is coming when it will be hard
for the average poor man to be able
to invest. Mr.. Schultz here offered
the advise that he had bought land
when he was as poor as any one, but
that he had married German girl
and had come out all right.
Q.-Does it pay to feed inseed
meal and how much to feeding.
A.-Yes, if the farm does not pro-
duce enough of the right kind of feed
to give the balanced ration, oil meal
is the best that can be fed. 1t con-
tains about three times the protein as
barley, oats or corn. About two
pounds per day per COW is the prop er
ration.
Q.-Can farmer succeed here as
well as he can in the south?
A.-Yes. There is no better chance
for prosperity anywhere than right
here in the great northwest. There
is something in the climate that in
vigorates and produces harder,
thriftier class of people. The north
west raises the kind of crops that are
surer and that bring the most money
Tor the same effort.
Q.-What is the easiest way for the
average farmer to test his COWS for
butter fat production?
A.-The annual contains good ar
ticle on this subject. State farm
school supplies small apparatus at a
cost of 81 that can be used by any
farmer and it gets the results. The
speaker urged the testing as very
necessary thing.
Q.-What can be done to prevent a
horse rolling in his stall?
"A horse can not roll if he is un-
able to get his head on the floor or
the ground. Fasten a rope to the
ceiling of the barn and snap it to the
top of his halter. Allow plenty of
play so he can lie down but not
enough to enable hina to get his head
on the floor.
Cit is more profitable to keep
but one kind of cattle9
A.-Yes, most certainly. Go in for
one breed and stick to it until you
change it entirely. If whole COM
munities would go i'm for one breed
of dairy COW, for instance, the results
would be very profitable to all con-
cerned. Never mix breeds.
Clover Raising.
Mr.. Nelson then took up the discus
sion Of clover and ITS growth. He
first pointed out the wonderful nature
of the plant and SAW in it's gift to
man, the hand sof providence. The
clover plant did tive things for the
soil that would of themselves make
it's presence of inestimable Uaaue II
it had ne value at all as a hay crop.
The plant is as good as drfll for
loosening up the soil and it is a won
rderful maenine for taking nitrogen
from the air and transferring it to
the soil. The clover plant is the
worlds great soil renewer and re-
builder. Glover is not a perennial
plant but must be replanted every
two years. 1t has two times the food
value of timothy and MS perfectly
adapted for all stock. Gt should be
cut and cured in June just as the
blossoms start to turn brown. lit
should after cutting be iGnmediately
raked and then turned over with the
rake or fork every two hours during
the day and then cooked left for
aboGtitwo days depending gpon the
climatic conditions and then placed in
the naow. 1t should never be stored
away when there is vet or dew on it.
1t should be seeded with a drill and
not less than one inch or more than
two inches deep and just as early in
the spring as possible.
The institute was so successful that
already a two days session is being
discussed as desirable for next year.
"rm afraid you're not tall enough for

"Oh, yes, ma'am," replied the girl.
