Dairy Notes.

Stir the cream often while 1t 4

Warm and cold cream should
never be mixed.
Attend the dairy meeting in youl
locality If you get an opportunity
It's quite as foolish to overstocl
the farm as to try to farm toe
much land.
ALI cows have their gool points
probably, but 1t is simply hard tc
find them in some Of them.
"A good dairy COW should hold
out well. A spasmodic milker gen
orally shows poor returns for the
year.
The dairy products OF Minnesota
in 1908 were approximately worth
$4o,ooo,N00. Quite a healthy busi-
ness, eh?
Some OF our creamery patrons
could verv proftaibly spend more
time among their COWS and less
time in The blind pigs.
If the cow doesn't respond to
good care, then she IS not adapted
to dairy work. The dairy COW re-
ponds to such treatment.
The man who doesn't treat his
dumb animals kindly isn't the kind
Of citizen who makes the world
better by having lived in it.
Glover hay is the lDest single feed
stuff that can be given to milch
COWS. They can't handle enough of
it, however, to produce a big flow
of milk.
Prepotency is the power which an
animal has of transmitting it's own
qualities and prepotency in a sire

progenoy.
That cold snap was the kind of
weather that tries the barn to de-
termine whether it is possible to
make the cows comfortable In all
kinds OF weather.
Insist upon the proper 7astenriza-
ton of the skim milk If you are
hauling milk to creamery. 1t
should be heated to at least 1856 de-
grees. Take a thermometer along
We don't like the idea Of man

Will Sow Winter Wheat

seasons are a little different and
Mr.. Sayers has concluded that Aug
ust will be about the right time. In
this way the wheat will get good

the SHOWS, which will protect it;
He will sow the wheat on some
timothy land which he will break
early this season, and work up we'll
in August just before sowing. Win.

over the spring wheat. The wheat
gets out of the way early In the

Tested with the germs of mango.
= When sheep begin to. look ragged
and lose wool in spots, better look
out for some skin disease.
If a awe dies her fleece will pay
her funeral expenses; if she lives,
her spring wool and fall lambs pay
double revenue.
Do not feed corn to the breeding
ewes; it is too heating. Give two
thirds oats, one-tilird wheat bran
with a little oilmeal mixed in. The
grain should be selected with care.
Few farmers realize what it
costs to be rough with COWS.
Too much cream for tine calf is
about as bad as too much money
for the boy.
A careful mixer, quiet in his
ways about the stable, is worth
manv dollars more in a single sea-
SOU than one who is brutal.
From eighty or ninety per cent OF
milk is water. So when you do
ans thing that induces the COW to
drink less freely it knocks off your
profits.
AS soon as the calf is old enough
to drink SKINNED milk make some
pDrnidge Of flour and oatmeal with
the hulls sifted out; or else rub
rolled oats in tine hands and sift
them. Cook thorough0y ami pour
in cold milk till it is just right.
A close. poorly ventilated stable
may be very cold. It takes plenty
at pure air to keep cattle warm.
Be sure that there are no icy
places, as one slip or strain may
cause the loss of both mare and
colt.
The growing colts, especially the
roadsters, should have a lot of ex-
ercise. They should under no
circumstances Fbe kept in the stable.
When horses object to the curry
comb it is a pretty sure sign tnat
sometime they have been hurt by a
careless cruel caretaker. All ami

won by kindness, and have no fear
OF man SO long as their confiience1

HOW MORGAN RAISES POTATOES

igan thinks the merchants could do
much in the way of keeping up the
price without making a less profit.
Some years the price of potatoes
is quite low. The eastern potato
raisers get good big yield oocas-
sionally which makes the price too
low in the east to ship with prodt.
During the last four years however
the price has kept up we'll, and it
may do SO in the future. Mr.. Mon
igan believes that there is a mar
ket in Montana. He feels conf
dent that no matter what the east
ern prices are, he will 0e able to
sell all the potatoes he can raise
for seed. That IS the benefit OF
planting nothing but the pure seed.
It is hard to secure perfect seed in
the eastern and southern states and
one might raise potatoes with
good profit for seed 6or these states.
In fact man from Oklahoma VS.
tied his farm last season and want
ed Mr. Monigan to grow. seed OF the
Early Ohio and Beauty Of Hebron
varieties for seed, promising him e.
fancy price for all the seed ne
could ship to that state.
He thought the Early Rose and ;.
Carmens yielded better than the
F, Early Ohios last season, but says
! the EARLY Ohios are the choicest
potatoes for table use.
BY raising potatoes, one gets his
land rid OF foul weeds and gets
it in excellent shape for wheat. "A
neighbor reports a yield OF 40 bush
els of wheat to the acre on potato
land.
He considers potato land much
better than summer following
! 1t takes some bother and fuel
to keep the potatoes from freezing
, in his cellar. He has 6ept fire
during the coldest weather. Next
year he will dig a big root cellar,
covering it with straw and manure,
providing for the proper ventilation.
This winter hhe kept his potatoes
well in a hurriedly 2rovised pit in
the field. Winter came on before
he had time to provide a better
place, so. he put the potatoes in
depression, covered them with
straw, and then with about six In
ches Of dirt. Soon a snow fell and
then he threw some manure on top
of the snow. Another snow came,
and then ne put on more manure
until now he has a covering three
feet deep. He investigated the
other day and found that the po-
tatoes were keeping well. It was
little too warm for them, SO he
provided ventilation. The top po-
tatoes had become little warm
!, and had started to a2rout. One has
to be careful in keeping them in
such . pit.
"As expect to grow from ten to
twenty acres Of potatoes every
year" he said. 'If It costs you
ltwenty cents bushel 70 grow ~
tatoes and you can get : dcliase

That the Board Of Trade man
must go, that the farmer win make
the price OF his product and not
parasites. Every intelligent man
knows that stock exchange and
boards Of trade feed on the todl OF
the producer without giving any
return for It, and is therefore a
plblic enemy. Speculation causes
losses alike to the producer and
consumer, and it is to stop all OF

II. A. Monigan, a farmer living
three miles north of Minot, is pre-.
pairing to grow twenty acres Of po.
tatoes this season.
Mr. Monigan experimentes with a
varieties of potatoes last season and
grew 800 bushels of as fine Early
Ohios, Early Rose and Carmens No.
3, as ever grew out of doors. He
is selling the potatoes for seed and
is getting readily dollar per oush-
ell for them. nj fact he tells us
that he has about disposed of all
that he will have to sell. Is
He sent to Northrup King & Co.,
for pure seed last year, and was
well repaid.
He planted the potatoes on old
land, which had been pldwed very
deep the fall before. During winter
he top dressed the soil with barn
yari manure and in spring disced
and narrowed the land. He then
rIgeed out potato planter from an
Old corn planter, using stove pipes
thru which Two men dropped the
seed. He believes that with the use
of the potato planter, It will be
easy to plant seven or eight acres
in a day providing one has the
seed cut.
Ho prepared the seed first by dip
ping it into strong solution OF
formaldehyde, using about double
the strength he would use Tor seeo
,vheat He leaves the seed in the
barrel of solution about an hour
aater which 1t is cut up. He thinks
nra eve to hill is enough Il
ne can get two good sized 7ota-
toes from hill, he is satisfied. ! he 7
more pieces planted to a hill the
smaller the POTATOES are. He loan"
that with his potato planter 'he
seed was planted very evenly. He
I,~u,t the seed in the ground at a
denth of about -four inches. The top
dressing in the winter does the sou
a lot of good in the way OF enrlcai'
ing it, and in that way the manure
is not apt to give the potatoes the
scab.
His man last year cultivated q
yortion of the patch too deep, ais
turbing the roots. He could see
the next day the effects OF cultiVat
ing them too deep. The potatoes
seemed to wilt for day or so
and he believes that they ripened
earlier on account OF cukivatins
and them too deep. He found tha'
the potatoes that had been cultivat
ed so deep did not yield nearly SC
well as those that were cultivated
lin a more shallow manner.
Mr.. Monigan says that he Will
