While lands that lie low, as along
creek bottoms, are from one-haH to
twice as productive as lands that lie
high and dry, yet high, or prairie,
lands are greatly to be preferred to
wet, swampy tracts. A low, reasonably
dry piece Of land is the ideal one for
pasture.
Pasture lands that cannot be brought
under cultivation may well be sown to
Kentucky blue grass. In pastures that
are under rotation this grass is too
slow to start, requiring couple Of
years to become we'll seeded.
A good mixture for land along creek
bottoms would be, per acre:
Blue grass, one pound.
Timothy, six pounds.
Bromus, four pounds.
Red top, three pounds.

THE FARM HORSE.

II Properly Managed He viii Add to
Profits Of Owner.
Farmers who have made a careful
study of farm economics have discov-
cred that the horse, as ordinarily kept
and managed, is one of the most ex-
pensive farm laborers. If properly
managed the farm horse may be made
to pay his way and add to the profits
of the farm. Statistics compiled by
the Minnesota Experiment Station
through the years from 1904 to 1907,
inclusive, show that in the southeast
srn part of the state 1t costs $9O.39
per year to maintain the average farm
horse and that in return the horse is
doing, on an average, GIT hours Of
work per year. His labor is costing
the farmer go cents per hour. In the
northwestern part of the state it costs
$75.08 to maintain horse and in re-
turn he is doing 1,O25 hours work per
year. His work is costing IA cents
per hour. II the horse is to keep up

now, on most farms, stand idle the
greater part Of the year.
A logical solution of the problem
seems to be to convert the present
horse stock into high class draft brood
mares, capable Of producing good foals
annually In addition to the work done
In the harness. The geldings, now
spending so much idle time on the
farm, should be working where th ~
can bring greater annual returns to
their owners, who can make use OF
them constantly. Brood mares, with
ordinary care, would do the work on
the average farm in addition to rails

the second or third year, sell for a
good price. The farmer would then
realize a profit from the mares labor.

preliminary work for the new FORTH

ago the engineers discovered peat
bog depth Of fifteen feet. Similar for
nations were found at a depth of 20
feet when the free harbor was made,
and at Kongedybet still others were
found at depth of 40 feet. These
finds are of great scientific interest,
proving that southern Sweden and
northern Denmark were connected by

THE OLD Hen AND CHICKENS
Cleanliness, Good Food and Regular
Care imperative.

Cleanliness, Good Food and Regular
Care imperative.
Through her efforts to lay and re-
produce her species, the hen, in the
spring and summer, cheapens her
product, enabling mankind to procure
fresher and cheaper eggs than is usual
in winter. Hens are not to be charged
with producing poor eggs, for their
owner is always at fault when the egg
is not standard in quality.
Cleanliness, good food, regular care,
with protection from weather and
natural enemies, cannot be too en-
sphatically emphasized. Cleanliness
must be practiced in the hennery, in
the yards, in the breeders and in the
feed. White diarrhoea may be intro
duced by slight neglect to keep things
clean about the yards, drinking and
feeding utensils, etc. When the dis
ease is once present it's ravages are
extremely fatal.
Poultry should not be fed mouldy or
musty grain. Young chicks may first
be fed when thirty-six hours old. Hard
boiled eggs, which have been tested on
the seventh day of incubation and
found infertile, mixed with bread
crumbs, may be fed the first week. If
moistened with sweet skinned milk
and squeezed dry this food will be
greatly relished by young chicks, and
no harm will result If they are fed in
clean dishes. When chicks are a week
or ten days old these feeds may be
followed with finely cracked grains.
Rolled or pinhead oats may also be fed
at this time. Pure water and grit
should at all times be supplied in
abundance Green food is important
and should be supplied, especially
when chickens or old birds are kept
in confinement, by chopping mangles,
potatoes, clover, etc. A green sod
placed in the pen will be enjoyed by
the chickens. Exercise may be In
.sured by the use Of straw or chan.
Never allow the young focks to 60
over feeding time without food. Bad
results are apt to follow. Keeping a
supply Of food where it can be fed
literally i've times a day for the first
three or four weeks, and afterWard
four times a day, is practfced at the
Minnesota Experiment Station at st.
Antnony Park until the flock IS at
least half grown.

1t OF course soon ceases growing en-
ttrely and goes to seed, thus lessening
the amount of pasture possible. Spots
where cattle leave the grass should
be mown down to insure continued
growth. The most satisfactory sys-
tenn of pasturing il where the pasture
Is divided into two parts and these
parts pastured alternately. BY follow
ing this system there is little chance
Of the grass going to seed, and all OF
the grass Is eaten down more uni
formly than when the cattle have &C,
cess to the entire lot.
Every man should aim to have
plenty of pasture SO that the cattle
will grow fat on a very cheap feed
It is much more profitable to do the

to do it in the winter with expensive
grains and roughages.

BIG SPEAKERS FOR ST. PAUL.
Best in Country Picked for National
Conservation Convention.

Washington, May 24.-Plans are 60
ing forward in fine shape for the ma
tional conservation convention to be
held in St. Paul in September. The
fact that former President Roosevelt
is to attend and speak has aroused
unusual interest in the event. Most
of the plans for the convention, so
far as the national association Is con-
cerned, will remain uncompleted I'M
til after the return Of Clifford Plnchot,
president of the organization who is
now en- route from Europe.
Secretary Shipp of the association
has prepared a partial list of the
speakers, which includes, in addition
to Colonel Roosevelt and Mr.. Pinchot,
James R. Garfield, former secretary of
the interior; Frank c. Gowdy OF Den
yer, chairman of the conservation
commission of that state; Newton G..
Blanchard, former governor Of Loutsi-
ana; Dr.. Charles r. Van Hise, presi-
dent Of the University Of Wisconsin:
George C. Pardee, former governor OF
California; Paris Gibson, former Unit
ed States senator from Montana; Sen
ator Newlands Of Nevada, Representa-
tive Scott OF Kansas and George F.
Swain Of Harvard university.
Because of the many requests
throughout the country for speakers
on conservation, Secretary Shipp said
that this list will have to be doubled
before the summer is well advanced.
