Jack Salmons is one of the old
time grain growers Of Towner coun-.
ty who has found it advisable to
change to diversified farming. It's
only few years since the farmers
were raising 25 to IS bushels of
wheat per acre there was no stock
in the country and no desire on the
part of the farmers to bother with
it. But times are changing and Mr..
Salmons is one of the comparatively
few who are keeping abreast OF the
procession. For several years he has
turned of from $500 to $1,000 worth
of stock annually, and last year
marketed about $500 worth Of hogs.
We are not advised as to how we'll
the business has paid, but it must
have PANIED out well, Judging by the
elegant home, fine buildings and
modern conveniences that Mr.. Sal
mons has on his farm. He even
allows Mrs. Salmons a modern chick
en- house, which she claims is a pay
ing institution and he claims it's q
|luxury-but this is just another case
where the word Of woman should
!! be taken before that Of man. Mr.
salmons says his main concern IL t.

Dairying CiyiliSes.

Prof. Oscar Err, In commenting
upon the agricultural conditions as
he found them in his recent trip to
Europe, says:
"In the countries where the most
milk is used, there is, the most civil
ization. In Spain. Italy and Rou-
mania and other countries where
dairy cows are scarce, I found that
land was extremely cheap and civil
ization not very far advanced.
While in Holland, Denmark, Swift
zerland and the Island Of Jersey
where dairying is the principal oc-
cupation, land is very often worth
several hundred dollars an acre and
in some cases $4,000 per acre. Up
on inquiry, he people told me the
dairy cows were responsible and !
find the same thing to be true in
the United States" Elk.

While at Wadena, last Monday, the
writer met H. Rue, farmer, living
In that vicinity, who came to town
to market his cream. Mr.. Rue said
he would be Obliged to walt about
one hour before he could secure his
returns at the creamery, giving the
reader some idea Of the number OF

Mr.. Rue said that during the month
Of January he MIXED rs cows, Of
which II were fresh and Is were

cream he received two checks, one
for s77.1s and the other $1,000. The
creamery pays it's patrons twice q

Hsw to Prevent a Cow From Mourn.
ing for her Calf.

In Scotland the practice of putting
a calf in loose box almost as soon
as it Is born is universally practfced.
The box is carpeted with straw for
bedding and the calf is fed all the
mothers milk warm from the COW.
The warm fresh milk should be
given for the first few weeks then
skinned milk thickened with ground
feed may be used.
If this plan is followed the cow
seems to entrust the care of her baby
to the farmer and when the time
comes to separate COW and calf there
is no distress on the part of either.
The above is simple and excellent
plan and every farmer will do we'll
to adopt it.

The Wheat Outlook in Argentine.

The wheat VutlOOK IN Af80nunes
Is becoming Of more interest to our
grain growers every year. Most of
us recall plainly how last year at q
most critical time that far country
changed the whole wheat market OUT
look by Unexpectedly dumping vasa
amounts Of grain onto the European
market, and following it up with still
greater quantities. Nothing serious
so far has turned up to injure the
wheat crop there, although continu-
ed dryness has cut into it in some
parts.
A leading Argentine journal, under
a late date, says:
"Crop news this week is less excit-
ing than the frost-mischief reports
and scares. Locusts now form the
principal item OF discussion. The
southerly advance Of the swarms is
unchecked, and with favorable winds
they have invaded the whole of the
north and center of the Province Of
Buenos Ayres. OF course they are
too late to do any harm to wheat
and linseed. The outlook for maize
is anything but cheerful; the unex-
pected may happen and rains come
in January to save the position. but
on past experience that is rather
doubtful, News from out west In
rather unfavorable to wheat owing
to prolonged absence Of rain. and
some very unsatisfactory reports az
| to probable yields in that zone are
coming to hand. Linseed cutting in
the north has commenced and re-
ports are quite favorable. Nearly
everyone seem agreed that linseed
available export surplus for 1900
will not be far behind that Of the
current year"

The difference in quality between
the best and the inferior. however
was most extraordinary, and IN
view of such condition It can only
be said that the possibilities for i'm.
porving the average Of the oat crop
Entry are unlimited. Thu
fact Is brought out more strikingly
when the following data, taken from
large placard In this part Of the
exhibit, is studied. Statistics Of the
receipts Of oats Il the Omaha mar
kets during the months of septem-
her, October and November. this
year, give these results: The re-
cept Of oats which would grade No
1 we're expressed in ciphers; grade
No. 2 scored per cent Of the total
receipts, or nine carload; the stand
ard grade secured 2 per cent. or dfty-
four carloads; grade No. 3 scored
54.4, or 1,4S0 carloads; grade No. 4
scored 4o,7 per cent or lies carloads,
oats that were no good scored 2.6
per cent and amounted to seventy
one carload. The same datacollected
on the Chicago market for the
months Of August, September and
October bears a close similarity IN
substance.
We have been paying a good deal
of attention to the breeding up Of
live stock, but we have almost neg
lected one of the most profitable lin
es of development in agriculture. It
is probably true that today in the
state Of North Dakota the oat crop
returns more net profit per acre to
the farmer than does the raising OF
wheat or fax, and yet OF all the cul-
tivated crops 1t received the least
consideration. It is sown late, the
seed often going into the ground
without cleaning. It is put upon the
poorer soil. In short, oats gets the
short end Of the deal, 60 far as the
farmer is concerned. And yet. be-
cause of the almost ideal climate and
soil Of the Northwest, Dakota pro-
duces quality and average yield Of
the grain almost unexcelled.
What returns might we not get Il
we paid proper attention to the
cleaning Of our seed, it's proper SOW
ing on we'll tillea land. and proper
selection Of seed.

The farmers Of Minnesota and the
Dakotas suffer tremendous loss each
year because Of poor seed. Light,
shrunken or weak seed Of any kind
should never be sown. In the
search for the cause Of the deterior-
alton in our oat crop which has been
80 very marked during the past two
seasons, the scientific agriculturists
have come to the conclusion that the
best they can do is to advise farmers
to select better seed. They believe
that poor seed has been used so long
that when adverse conditions pres
ent themselves the oat crop is unable
to Withstand them.

Dear sis:-In your issue Of Feb.
"a we are pleased to see our extend
ed article on the use OF the formal
dehyde treatment for smut and fiax
wilt. The article needs some COM
ment however as the existing condi-
lions or practice Of at least some
Of our druggists who sell formalde-
hyde to the farmers are very mis-
leading to say the least. Four years
ago I adopted the gunny sack meth
cd Of treating grain and % my first
solution Of forty gallons became low
1 repleuished AZ needed by putting
in i've gallons Of water and two
ounces Of formaldehyde measured IN
a standard measure. What was sur!
prise, when twelve ounces had been
measured out, to see that scarcely
an ounce remained in the bottle. !
remeasured the bottle to see II ! had
made . mistake but BY hlling It level
full II would mot hold fourteen
ounces, and had been using the
same without measuring supposing
II held the prescribed sixteen ounces.
\ i at once took UP the matter with
our druggist but he assured me that
IA ounces was the standard for q
pound of formaldehyde and he had
gotten his information from Minot
druggists and that was what they
were selling for pound. He as well
as others know of still sell the IA
ounces or rather I'll IA ounce or q
% ounce bottle and call It SO many
pounds. From personal experience l
find these pounds run from IL to IA
ounces. s
Now what does this amount to-?
Just this: Our law prescribes 2 40
per cent solution and less than
SO per cent is illegal, and our a. 9.

The Independent Farmer
mp RTMENT DEVOTED OF THE INTERESTS
MOST IMPORTANT INDUSTRY OF THE NORTHWEs ST

All varieties Of wheat and oats are
subject to smut. and all seeds should
be treated with formaldehyde
(sometimes called formalin). Make
q solution Of one pound Of formal
dehyde to forty-dve gallons Of water.
Two gallons Of this solution to the
bushel will be enough. After thoroly
cleaning with tanning mill, put the
wheat, oats. fax or barley (this treat
ment is effective against fax wilt,
but in treating max do not put on
sufficient water to release the muci-
lage) in a pile on the barn boor.
Sprinkle the pile thoroly with the
solution; shovel or rake over. Leave
the grain piled for two or more
hours and then repeat the sprinkling
and shoveling process until you are
quite sure that all the grains have
become wet, when the seed may be
sacked or piled until the next day.
II the grain is very smutty it may be
dipped in the solution, and dipping
is sure to be effective. It is an ad-
vantage for the grain to be kept in
the pile over night after the treat
ment because the chemical has bet
ter opportunity to attack tho smut
spores. Throw horse blankets over
the pile to keep in the fumes; other
wise the smut spores on the top
grains are not killed. Do not leave
it piled long enough to get hot.
Dip bags in the solution before sack
ing the treated seed. The drill should
be set to SOW more Of this swelled
seed than you would sew II dry. One
can determine how much by meas
uring before treating. and again
when ready to seed. Wheat swells
about one-fifth in bulk. There are
machines on the market which re-
duce the labor Of treating the seed
and perhaps do the work more
effectively than it can be done by
hand. F'ormaldehyde is said by
chemists to be non-poisonous.
