cient Fertilizer

Excellent as are the results which
follow the adoption of a good system
of rotation of crops, as compared with
the single-cropping system, rotation
alone cannot be depended on to keep
the soil in high state of fertility. To
do this on an ordinary farm of 100
acres, sufficient live stock must be
kept to permit the application of ma
nure, at the rate of say eight tons per
acre, at least once in five years The
production of such quantity of ma
nure would require at least forty cows.
Since labor difficulties make it imprac-
ticable for most farmers to properly
care for so maay cows, Professor A.
D. Wilson suggests, in a recent adj
dress, that the owner of such a farm
keep only twelve good mich cows,
and the equivalent of the remaining
twenty-eight in horses, calves and
colts raised for marketing. brood-sows
and their annual litter, and poultry.
This would permit the thorough ma
nur1ng, every year, of say one-fifth of
the tillable land on the farm in con-
nection with the corn planted in a
five-year rotation course of pro-
cedure like this, at University Farm,
has brought an increase of 6.10 BUSH
els of wheat, 1876 bushels of corn. and
IS tons of hay per acre over the re.
suits secured by system of rotation

Profit From Good

panies this article, is one of herd OF
thirteen so-calEed common cows" at
the Northeast Experiment Station
Grand Rapids. Nina herd whose
record affords a striking illustration
of the fact that few Minnesota farmers
are realizing from their cows the an.
nual profit which might be theirs. For
the average amount of butter from
each cow, in Minnesota, is only 160
lbs. while the average from this Elk
pertinent Station herd is 279 lbs. Here
is difference of 119 lbs. per cow,
equal, at q cents pound. to 1928
annually. To the farmer with only
twelve cows the difference would ag-
gregate $385.53
Please take note that this difference
has not been secured because of SUI
perior breed or because, in gross
amount, the feed given the thirteen
cows was greater than the ordinary
farmer gives his herd. 1t has come
altogether from good care and correct
rather than lavish feeding. The cows
freshened in the fall and were MIXED
ten months of the year. During Octo-
Der and November they were fed on
fodder corn, stock carrots and bran
and shorts half and half" From Dec.
1, corn ensilage was fed in place of
roots. They were Stalled from Oct
to May During the summer they
were pastured on cut-over and brush
land by day, and in small tame
grass pasture at night. When the flies
were bad, the cows were always put
in the barn at noon. In winter the
temperature Of the barn went below
the freezing point. cows were
turned out OF. doors only in fair
weather, and kept out only SO long as
they cared to remain. They were fed
twice a day and watered once day.
The feed for each animal was weighed:
also the milk she produced. Each COW
was fed, in grain, two-fifths the num-
Der of pounds that she gave In milk.
The feeding and milking were done at
the same time every day. What is
there. in all this. impossible to any
farmer?
Roxy. the most profitable cow in the
bunch, cost only $40. She probably
has some Jersey blood, and possibly
some Holstein. The fact that she is
black, with white markings. shows
that the Jersey strain is not pre-
dominant. but she has buff nose
and a Jersey type of head. Her av.
erage production, for three years. was
377 pounds of butter per year.

NOTES ON POTATOES.
Many Of the Conditions Resulting In
Failure Of Crops Can Be
Rennedied

The average yield of potatoes in
Minnesota for the ten years 1899 to
1908 was eighty-six bushels per acre
The average yield of potatoes in
the state of Maine for the same ten
years was Ill bushels per acre.
There are about ten thousand hills
on an acre of potatoes planted in rows
three and one-half feet apart and four.
teen apart in the row.
One eight-ounce potato in each hill
will produce a yield of about eighty
eight bushels per acre.
Many times one hill will produce six
eight-ounce potatoes, which is at the
rate of $40 bushels per acre.
The low yields secured on the aver.
age must be due to the failure of a
large number of hills to produce
Some of the things that cause the
failure of hills are poor soil, improper
preparation, poor seed, irregular plant
ing, poor cultivation. bugs, disease
and poor weather. Many of these con-
ditions are controllable; all of them
may be Influenced by proper methods
of culture.
A hill of potatoes stripped by bugs
or on which the leaves are injured by
blight cannot give satisfactory yield
Paris green or some other poison
should be used to destroy the bugs
before they have a chance to seriously
injure the vines. A few days delay
means the loss of great many hills
The most successful growers spray
from two to six times each year with
Bordeaux mixture to prevent injury to
the leaves from blight. Paris green
may be mixed with the Bordeaux, thus
spraying for bugs and blight at the
same time-A. D. Wilson, Minnesota

From this time on until freezing

ornamental trees are liable to receive
injury from sunscald. This trouble,
which some persons think of as being
caused by the sun and hot winds of
summer, is really due to certain win

1t is well known that branch of a
dormant tree, when given local condi.
tions of warmth, as by drawing it in
through small opening in window
or the wall of greenhouse, will start
into growth. If the conditions are IA
vorable inside, the branch will do this

Importance of making the stock COM

made uncomfortable by being fed at
irregular times, so that they spend a
great deal of their time expecting to
be fed, the discomfort shows in lower
production. If they are made uncom-
Portable by having poor bed, by
being roughly handled, by having a
dog set on them, or by being left out
in the cold or allowed to go thirsty,
these conditions result in decreased
that one of the great advantages of
weighing the milk every day, from
each COW, is that it gives one quick
check on any condition that brings
about discomfort to his animals If
any cow shows dropping off of her
milk flow, as rule little observa-
tion will show that she has been made
uncomfortable in some of the ways
mentioned above; and, knowing these
facts, the farmer is able to check
these unfavorable conditions quickly.
One of the points that Mr.. McLeran
especially emphasizes is the impor.
lance Of not allowing the cows to stay
out in the winter when they are un-
comfortable. He states that good
way to determine this-is to take of
your coat and go out In the yard with
the cows. stand around and act just
as the cows do When you begin to
feel uncomfortable and feel like going
into the house, put the cows In the

Every farm of $50 acres of good.

of yielding gross income of $4,000
annually To do this, however. the
amount of live stock of all kinds which

forty head of mich cows, and proper
rotation OF crops should be observed.
The means of carrying out these ideas
are at the command of almost every
owner of such farm: SO that any sum
by which his income falls short of
