While the officers had nothing 70

declared that the treatment; they re

ever accorded them anywhere they
have been to camp. They declare
that they got the worst end OF the

One OF the soldiers sad that he had
been in -four different camps and
that the food give him in this one
was the worst he had ever seen hand

Besides this complaint, the soldiers
say that only about one half OF them

Ur sneus pe1ore night. This plan
gives excellent hay generally, but re-.
quires considerable amount of extra
work. Occasionally the weather is un-
favorable during the day, and the plan
does not work out; that is, the hay Is
not dry enough to stack when night
comes, and at times the value of it is
greatly reduced by rain falling upon it.
The second plan is to cut the hay
late in the afternoon, so that it will
not be cured enough for the dew to
cause it any harm. 1t will be fit to
store or stack in the NOW or stack in
the last half of the afternoon of the,
second day with very much less ted
ding than is the case with hay which
is to be moved the day it is cut.
The third plan is to rake the hay
and cook it after it has little more
than wilted. The cocks are made
small and the hay is allowed to cure
and go through the sweat in the
field Those who make hay in this
way commonly provide themselves
with shock covers, or caps, as they are
called, to prevent loss when rain
comes Unexpectedly.

%..F-o,siy ury pe1ore 1t is taken INTO
and finer stems are broken off, which
lodge in the stubble and are lost. This
leaves the woody, course fiber as the
part of the hay which is saved and
makes the product very much infe-
riOr in every way to hay which has
retained the clover leaves and the
lighter steps. Those parts of the
clover plant are almost wholly diges-
tible, and are very greatly relished by
live stock of all sorts, and in conse-
Quence should be retained In the hay,
whenever it is practicable to do so.
The dairy farmer who realizes that
his COW must be catered to with q ra-
ton that suits her and one which will
induce her to eat large quantity Of
feed, will find that he can afford
to spend a. little more time in hay ma
king than is done when the stacker
and sweep rakes are used as means
of loading the hay from the swath to
the stack. The hay stacker and sweep
rake are quicker and cheaper ways of
putting up hay, but we will do well
to determine where the loss of value
In the hay becomes greater than the
saving in the expense of putting up
the the crop. This is a matter, be-
lieve, that must be decided largely on
the individual farm, as what will pay
one farmer may prove losing plan
to another. Giving more thought to
the matter of hay making now when
clover and alfalfa are to be handled. it
Is well nigh imperative.

Usually when the early potatoes are

late one cannot use the land for q

AS soon as they are cultivated for the
last time with our hand cultivator we

for the winters use. They may be
cultivated with the wheel cultivator
BY removing all but the two front
teeth, and as soon as the potatoes
are dug the horse cultivator can be

RIGHT TIME TO CUT CLOVER
German Experimenter Discovers Much
Of DigestibIe Matter of Hay Can
Be Dissolved Out of Water.
(By ]. H. SHEPHERD, Dean and Pro-
fessor of Agriculture, Agricultural
College. North Dakotal

(By j. H. SHEPHERD, Dean and Pro-
fessor of Agriculture, Agricultural
College, North Dakota.)
Experiment stations have taken a
great deal Of interest in this question
of hay making and have brought out
good many facts which help to sub.
stantiate the belief and experience of
practical hay makers and feeders in
their views and practises. They find
that the time to cut clover to get the
greatest amount of digestible feeding
material is at the full blossom stage.
Farmers have known for years, prob
ably centuries, that clover hay is in
jured very badly by rains or even
by heavy dews. A German expert.
menter has found that from one-fourth
to, two-fifths Of the entire digestible
matter of clover hay can be dissolved
out by cold water. This fact, to-
gether with that of the greatly less
ened relish for it on the part of live
stock, explains very we'll why the
clover hay should be protected against
rain and exposure to heavy dew when
it is in the swath and practically dry.
There is disposition on the part of
western farmers to do things whole
sale as matter of economy. Labor
is high in this part of the United
States and hay and other roughage is
very cheap. l believe that we are over
impressed, however, with the high
price of labor and the cheapness of
roughage, and that it will pay us bet
ter to take more time and store away
a more palatable lot of hay with a
higher proportion of digestible mat.

that most men make when they
first go into stock. 1t is easy
to say things; another thing to
do them. and no man on earth
knows this better than a farm
er, and that is just why he
pays SO little attention to the
world of excellent advice hand
ed out to him constantly by
those who are not farmers, and
who would starve to death if
they tried to farm.
There is just one way the
wheat farmer of the northwest
can go into stock" and that
is to grow into it, and learn
the, to him, new business as
the business itself develops.
We have never known a COM
munity of farmers to make a
sudden change in their farm
ing, particularly into some
kinds of stock growing, but
that they made a mistake; but
a gradual change from pure
small grain farming to more
corn and other forage, and in
cidentally to kinds of stock that
will make good use of it and
multiply fast while doing so,
has always brought increased
prosperity to the whole COM
munity and always will.
Let us greatly increase our
corn acreage for the good it
will do our wheat lands. Let
us incidentally gradually get
cattle, sheep, hogs or colts to
use up and turn into cash, the
last bit of the corn and fodder.
Let us carefully and thinly ap-
ply the last particle of manure
this stock and fodder will
make, and almost before we
know it, we shall be producing
more grain than we did before,
growing it more certainly, and
our land will become cleaner
and stronger in place of more
foul and exhausted, and our
income from the same acres
will be more than doubled.
We greatly need to do all the
Tribune so ably advises, but
we must do it gradually and
carefully, and above all re-
member the words so we'll said:
The way to prosperity is slow
and steady" When we once
drop the idea of getting rich
quickly by this, that or the
other process of farming, we
have made long move to-
wards competence.

much better to LET the first growth be
wasted than to have one-half, or even
one-third, Of the seed too green to
shell out with the huller.
People who have come to North Da-
kota from the middle or eastern states
have noticed that there are few bum
BILE bees in the clover field as COM
pared with those that they have been
accustomed to see at home. Charles
Darwin's philosophy relative to clover
blossoms being fertilized by pollen
which is carried by humble bees has
made a deep impression on people
generally and many have taken the
absence Of humble bees as certain evil
dence that clover will not pield a pay.
ing crop of seed in this country. This
has been thoroughly disproven as is
indicated by the yields which have
mentioned above.
The machine made especially for
clover hulling, known as the clover
huller, is the only satisfactory one
to thresh it. Some have done reason
ably well by using the ordinary sepa-
rator and making special provision
for its pounding out the seed by put
ting in special concaves with rough
ened teeth and by running the straw
through the machine twice. Some Of
our farmers have secured very high
yields per acre by this process, but
they tell me that they come far short
of getting all of the ripened seed
which their crop contained. I find
that in the older clover districts Of
the middle states that they are con-
vinced that it does not pay to attempt
to get along without a huller in
threshing that crop.
The medium red variety of clover
has been the most popular with those
who have grown the different sorts
here, and believe that the man who
will take pains to grow red clover
seed by following the directions that
have given above will find that it
will amply repay him for his trouble
and that the people of the state will
take all Of the seed which he has to
offer.
