President Worst of the North Dakota

of four tons per day. would then only

save that amount OF water for the use
Of the growing crop"
The best method for early moisture
conservation. where the land is TO be
plowed later, is the free use OF the
disc early IL the season. This early
discing Of the land does more than aid
in moisture conservation. II the field
upon which # is practiced is a stalk

things: % a chOpping and cutting Of
the stalks. so they may be plowed IN

the soil, and retain and replace in the
soil the plant food they have removed
from the soil in their growth; (2) a
warming and drying of the upper few
inches of the surface soil The loosen
ed mulch prevents rapid evaporation
OF the moisture farther down, how
ever. so that even though the surface
is dryer the soil Immediately below
this stirred layer is less dryer than IL
would have been had the discing been

type of the soil, but generally speaking
sixinch depth is sufficient to cover
dirt for the seed bed.
To secure the best results the plow-
ed land should be Immediately harrow
ed. dragged, or at least so treated that
mulch of loose soil is formed on the
surface. This effectually prevents
evaporation of the moisture in the fur
row slice If such an attachment, as
some of the rotary harrows for plow
attachment is used on the pillow frame
this mulch is formed at the same time
the blowing is done, and at practically
no extra labor on team or man.
The plowed land should be disced and
narrowed not less than once over with
each implement mentioned.

cared for and fed such foods as Will
bring good results The milk should
not be used for food until Ave days
after the COW has fleshened The
COWS should not be excited any time
during the day or night, as such
things as fear reduces the quantity
OF the milk yield and injuries the quail
ity of the same. The ration should
not contain materials which impart
bad odors in the stable. or injure
the favor OF the milk.
Much care in regard to cleanliness
should always be exercised by those
who have charge OF the stables and
handle and milk the cows. Some men
,an be neat and careful in all they do,
while others are Indifferent and
houghtless. 1t is the latter class that
the inspectors have to instruct In or
der that their milk will be sanitary
ard fit for food All dairymen should
welcome the inspectors, and solicit
from them suggestions where improve
ments in management can be made.
The better the quality of the product
the greater the demInd and the
greater the profits that will come TO
the producers.

gates (which should all swing one
way). are about feet long The rear
posts, II used, should slant, as shown
In the cut. to allow the milker a little
more room. In some stables these
rear posts have been done away with
entirely the gates simply being
chained or roped together. As usual
ly built, the front rack or panel is
made of 2x4 framework, with 7-l6
inch iron rods: and this framework
is fastened solidly to the manger but
the manger and framework are not
attached to the sides OF the stall, but
left loose, so as to be adjusted to the
length OF the COW. In some cases,
however. the rack is hinged at the
top and the bottom allowed to swing
in the manger. so that Il may be
swung toward the front several
inches. This allows the COW a little
more freedom in getting up and lying
down. Wooden Stats may be substi-
tuted for the iron rods. or in some
cases section of iron wire fencing
is used in place of the rods The rope
across the rear of the stall Is usually
stapled at one side and hooked with
an ordinary harness-strap at the
other.
