LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Good draft horses, though high in
price find eager buyers.
Southdowns are supposed to lead all
other breeds IN quality Of mutton.
Young pigs cannot thrive in cold
sleeping quarters, or where It is the
least bit damp.
A good feeder can make corn worth
60 cents a bushel by putting It
through a hog.
Sheep have good warm wool coats.
DO not be afraid to turn them out
even on a cold day.
In considering cheap feeding and
feeding for the best results, the silo
must not be overlooked.
Keep sheep out while they're out
and in while they're in, Don't leave
doors open TO cause draughts.
Now that breeding sheep can be
bought at a reasonable price more OF
them should be going TO the farms.
Who has not seen the hogs piled
upon each other in cold weather, shiv.

place?
Rough, brutal treatment that keeps
sheep in constant fear and nervous
excitement is not conducive to good
growth.
Do not allow too many head OF
swine to nest together. for they viii

and take cold.

PROGRESS OF DRY FARMING
Those Who Followed Scientific Meth'
DDS Last Year Had Good Crops
Others Made Failures.

CBy w. e. PALMER. North Dakots.)
The opposition to the name DRY
Farming" is dying out in North Da-
kota. The dry weather which charac-
terized the last crop year has been
n good school master. Those who had
followed the dry farming methods had
good crops, while those who he'd not
often did not have crop enough TO be
worth while cutting. II looked queer
to see a field of grain on one field that
would 20 30 bushels per acre and the
next one go four or five, both having
had the same rainfall II is not hard
TO understand, though. The eyapora-
tion from a water surface is 30 inches
in the state during the spring and
summer months This Is more than
the rainfall for a whole year amounts
to. which IN the state varies from 10
to "a inches. To have any left for the
crops II Is plainly necessary to take
steps to save the moisture. Those who
had grown corn and potatoes, who had
disked after cutting the grain, who
had summer fallowe1, who had plow ed
under clover or added organic matter
to the soil-Shat is, where It had been
done I'm accord with dry farming prin-
cip'es-had from fair to very good
crops this year. It Is generally con-
ceded that II there had been two
inch rainfall at the critical time good
crops would have been assured all
over the state. BY cultivation, this
could very easily have been saved,
and more. too.
At farmers Institutes there is more
call for tall on dry farming than any
other subject The question often
comes in this way: What shall do
to be ready FOR dry year."
While some real estat, .aen are
opposed to the term dry farming,
yet the putting into practice OF
these principles Is what will assure
the farmer OF a crop every year, al
least as far as moisture is concerned
It is those who practlced dry farming
methods last year that have demon
| strated what the state can do In dry
year. They have been the salt Of the
/ earth.

CARE m SELECTING CROPS
Those That viii Mature Early Should
Be Chosen for Dry Farmina-Tur-
key Red Wheat Leads.

The careful selection OF crops and
seed IS necessary for success in dry
farming. Crops must be chosen that
will mature early. Turkey Red wheat
has averaged a yield of better than
thirty bushels to the acre for twenty
years, giving It easily the first place
as a dry land crop in this state. says
the Denver Field and Farm. other
promising dry land crops are hulless
barley. the earliest spring crop to ma
ture; macaroni wheat. a spring crop
which natures early. but for which
the market Is uncertain; some carly
maturing oats, the Six Day variety
for instance, although oats are not an
especially strong dry land crop. Corn
requires constant cultivation and rela-
lively but little moisture and can take
the place OF summer following as soon
as proper varieties are developed
White Australian Is the most satisfac'
tory thus far discovered. but It lacks
in feeding quality. Alfalfa and Can
ada field peas, which put nitrogen into
the soil for the grain crops and which
viii mature a good yield with little
moisture, are very valuable. Broom
corn is coming on as something of 8
/ dry crop, while first rank must bt
given to the non-saccharine sorghums
such as kafir, milo maize, durra anC
rice corn.
