Barley and Rejected Wheat
Best Grain For Fattening Hoes

The hog industry is becoming
one Of Importance in many parts
of North Dakota. One thing that
has retarded it was the lack of
corn for fattening purposes, and
the common idea that without corn
you cannot profitably raise hogs.
In order to find out the facts in
the case Dean Shepherd, director
Of the North Dakota Experiment
station, and w. B. Richards, pro-
fessor Of animal husbandry, recent
ly carried out some feeding trials,
using corn, barley and rejected
wheat for purposes of comparison.
The results of the barley corn
trials are summed up in the fol-
lowing statement: ''There is not
a wide difference between the
results we may expect from a hum
dred pounds Of barley when COM
pared with corn for fattening
hogs. The difference in the quail
ity Of pork produced, in favor of
barley. as will be shown later in
this bulletin, should compensate
sufficiently to make it approxi-
mate the value of corn.'
Under market prices of $3.50
per cwt. the barley feed brought
36c per bushel, and the corn Sic.
In addition to this is the fertilizer
value of manure retained on the
farm, making price for each fair.
The rejected wheat trials shows
slightly to the advantage of wheat
as compared to barley, and little
less feeding value than corn,
bushel for bushel. In the trial,
the market value of hogs being
$5.75 per cwt., the wheat returned
66 cents per bushel, without allow
ing for the value of manure. The
lot fed rejected wheat did not carry
as great depth Of flesh as did the
corn fed lot, but the conclusion
reached regarding the quality of
the carcass is that the quality of
pork produced is even better than
that produced by corn.

How Nursery Stock Should
Be Cared For When Received

Avoid any unnecessary exposure
to sun or wind. Wet the roots
thoroughly at once and place them
in damp cellar, or else heel them
in the ground in some cool, moist
place unless you are ready to plant.
IT stock appears rather dry when
received, or if weather is unfavor-
able it will generally be best not
to plant at once, but let it remain
heeled in or bury in moist ground
until prospects improve for q few
days. By this method of handling
a much better stand of all kinds of
nursery stock will be obtained.
Take your fruit tree, forest or
ornamental tree, Except ever
greens) and trim off half of last
years growth from the tip, except
the center limb, and trim all roots
from the inside. out back to where
they are all fresh, not having the
longest root over a foot long. Then
place your trees in a barrel half
full of water. Hitch your team
or horse to a stoneboat and haul
your trees to where they are to
be planted. Dig the holes about
ten inches larger each way than
the roots are and about ten inches
deeper. After the hole is dug,
place about five inches of top soil
in the bottom of the hole; then
take the tree and place same in hole,
which puts it ABOUT five inches
deeper than it stood in the nur-
sery. Then with the heel stamp
the earth down until solid; fill in
a little more dirt and repeat the
stamping until the hole is nearly
full. Then fill the rest of the hole
with loose dirt and leave it dishing
some toward the tree.
Bushes, both fruit and ornament.

Board Of Trade Men
Compliment FIickertaiIs

There was grand meeting of
Board of Trade members from all
parts of this country and Canada
held in Chicago during Septem-
Der. A meeting was held in the
Princess Theatre on September II.
ard many notable grain dealers
addressed the meeting. The Chi
cago Inter Ocean reporting this
meeting, stated that Federal In
spection came in for condemna-
ton. The whole sentiment Of the
meeting voiced the animosity of
the elevator trust and the grain
gamblers against the wheat grow
ers of this state. One speaker,
referring to the wheat growers
of North Dakota, said, "This bill
now before congress emanates
from state which hasn't pri-
mary market. It's business is
interstate trade. The conditions
in this state are crude. The farm
ers are immigrants. and somewhat
ignorant. They do not do their
work we'll. Their wheat is filled
with foul stuff. But they COM
plain that they are locked when
the grain is inspected and it's real
grade ascertained. They need
tanning mills rather than federal
laws" Other speakers handed it
to Senator McCumber's activity
for Federal Inspection. It is the re-
suit, they say, Of the cry Of a lot
of farmers who would sell their
dirt for wheat. Loud applause
greeted the statement that Me-
Cumber would be forced out Of the
United States Senate.
The society of equity is proud of
the contemplate manner in which
it is characterized by the gamblers,
who toll not neither do they spin,
who make their millions from the
toll of the farmers, not by legiti-
mate methods, but by circulating
false reports. manipulating prices
by means Of options, marking down
prices, thereby compelling the
wheat grower to sell for less than
the cost of production.
The activity of the society of
equity, in determining to have
enacted a law which will establish
regular grades for grain, regulate
weighing, and dockages, so that
every one will get a square deal,
both the seller and buyer, does not
seem to please the Grain gamblers.
1t does seem strange that any one
should object to having the grain
business conducted in a legitimate
manner. The manner of handling,
grading, weighing and docking
of grain, should be so conducted,
that the system will be free from
suspicion, of carelessness or dis.
honesty.

The foregoing directions for top
pruning do not however apply to

In most of our soils in this Sec

placing it in holes dug, but rather
apply it as a top dressing around
