Records kept at Hohenheim. Ger
many, since 1885. show that during
that period there were 1881 births In
the herds, OF which 116 were twins. In
2s cases both were hcifers. in 35 cases
both bulls and in 80 cases the sexes
were unlike. Twins were more com
mon with old than with young cows
and could be traced to "A out OF 50
bulls used during the rs years. There
were nine pairs Of twins in the progeny
OF one bull. which was used for two
years. The progeny Of the heller
twins could be traced In only 16 cases.
in half OF which both twins were heif-
ers. In three of these cases both
heifers were fertile. while in the other
five one twin was bred. the other being
weak and sent to the butcher. OF the
IL which were bred none gave birth
to twins. nor did their offspring up to
the fourth generation. OF the eight
cases where the sexes were different
seven Of the heifers were sterile and
one was fertile. but bore sterile

IRRIGATE in GROWING SEASON
BY Proper Handling Of Water Farmer
May Draw From Lower Depths
for Plant Food.

While It is true that the majority
of field crops reach down into the soil
two or three feet and tap the plant
foods at these depths. yet the surface
Of the soil would still be deficient
were 1t not for the water which brings
the foods up from the lower depths
and distributes them evenly among
the roots. Thus by the proper han
ding of irrigation water we can draw
from the lower depths the fertility of
the soil. equally distributing 1t. fur
nishing a greater feeding ground for
the plant system and consequently
stronger and better growth. writes
A. Mcpherson in Ranch and Range.
Each farmer should study his soil.
know its depths and have some idea
of the plant foods therein.
To be able to irrigate intelligently.
farmer should be possessed of these
facts. 1t is necessary that he should
know the depth of the soil in order
that he may know how long he should
frrigate or to what depth he may safe
ly saturate his ground. II more water
is forced into the soil than 1t has
power to assimilate. damage will re-
suit. Deep soil will stand more water
than shallow soil. and shallow soil
requires more frequent irrigation I'M
der ordinary conditions. II l were
asked how long water should run on
particular piece of ground l would
first want to know the depth of the
soil and also how long 1t would take
to force the water to the required
to not
enough water to moisten its particles
thoroughly. More than this. quantity
of water would be detrimental and
damaging To irrigate properly means
to supply the needed moisture at the
right time. to equally distribute the
plant food by reaching down into the
lower depths. dissolving the plant food
there and raising 1t up to within reach
of the plant roots.
This is accomplished by rain under
certain conditions. II we could have

tuuS increasing tHe dTth VI tnc iccu-
ing ground for the plants. We might
have a dozen good rains during the
growing season, none of which would
force the water downward beyond
certain depth or tap additional strata
of plant food and make 1t available.
One good Irrigation would force the
water far beyond the depth reached
by the rains and bring upward a much
larger quantity Of plant food. The
idea is to get as much out of the soil
as possible. and the deeper the feed
ing ground the more plentiful the food
and the better the corps.
This is why I believe that irriga-
ton fertilizes the soil better than rain
fall. for It draws the plant producing
qualities from greater depths and at
more opportune times. making crop
failure absolutely impossible. Further
more. the upper strata of the soil in
irrigated districts are not constantly
being robbed OF more than their share
OF plant producing elements. being
constantly restored by the drain from

DAIRY NOTES.

the least. is in the rearing OF calves.

Good digestion and assimilation are
imperatively necessary in a good dairy
COW.
Know the production Of each one
of your COWS. and feed them accord
ingly.
The mixer must be in sympathy
with his cows II he expects good re-
suits.
For fancy trade. one-pound prints
wrapped in parchment paper are the
most popular.
The cream should be strained in
the churn to remove all possible dirt.
specks and curd.
II should be remembered that alfal-
ia hay is not the ideal hay for skim
med milk calves.
To make the most profitable growth.
all spring calves should be kept in
clean. roomy stalls.
With the small butter producer. the
greatest trouble is finding a suitable
market for his product.
Scalding the churn ought always TO
be followed by thorough rinsing with
cold water before churning.
1t takes longer to churn when the
churn is more than half full. The
cream must be given room for agita-
ton.
Weeds rob crops of needed plant
food and moisture. Kill them when
small or even before termination is
complete.
Too many farmers feed their calves
cold milk in dirty pail and let them
sleep in a dark. damp pen. and then
wonder why they do not do we'll.
The first mistake a dairyman will
make. when installing hand separa-
tor. is that he will expect 1t to do first
class work under all circumstances.

The United States department of
agriculture is using this year on the
national forests over ten tons of tree
seed. Most of this seed has already
been planted or sown. The rest will
be utilized later in the season, as
favorable conditions are presented. 1t
takes a great many tree seeds to
make ten tons. Jack pine. the most
important tree for planting in the Ne
braska sand hills by the forest serv-
ice. will average something like 1901
900 seeds to the pound. OF western
yellow pine. the tree most extensive
ly planted throughout the national for
ests as a whole, 10000 seeds will make
a pound. Altogether. the ten tons of
seeds to be used this year represent,
perhaps. soo.O0O.ooo single seeds.

Lewis Makes Issue of Saloon

Milwaukee, Wis. That county OPP
tion is to be the one great issue OF
the coming campaign for the COVER
norship is the declaration of Captain
William Mitchell Lewis, the million
aire Racine automobile manufact-
urer. who is senator La Toilette
candidate for the goveruorship
In "A formal statement issued to-
night Capt Lewis declares that II
is necessary for courageous candi-
date to face the fact that the liquor
question is one of the great problems
of the year in Wisconsin.
There can be no real progress IN
Wisconsin until the saloon problem
has been divorced from other IS
sues. The people have a right TO
what they want in government
Capt Lewis SAYS:
County option would not en-
large the right of the people. put
rather would enlarge their opportun-
ity to express their will III the
sphere of influence of the saloon were
confined to. the city or village IN
which it were located 1t would not be
a matter for the county to declde.
But the influence of the saloon
extends from the city out into the
country for a radius Of several miles.
Whatever the influence of that sa-
loon is it is felt in the country sur
rounding the city as well as in the
city itself. All persons living within
the sphere of influence OF a saloon
have a right to IL voice in the final
decision as to whether that saloon
shall exist. Anything short of this
is infringement upon personal ND
erty. For personal liberty is not one
sided.
"The rights of every individual
are defined by the majority and are
limited by the comfort, peace and
safety of the many. Not TO abide by
the will of the majority would be
anarchy. 1t is Il confession of the
weakness Of their cause for the liq-
nor interests to oppose this plan Tor
