BUILDING UP A DAIRY HERD
Begin With Native Cow and Select
Those That Suit Best, 10 Advice
Of Col. r. A. Wilkinson.

TO start dairy herd begin with
he native COW, was the advice given
By Col. r. A. Wilkinson, at the
Cavalier farmers institute. Select
those that suit you the best, that have
he type that you want and from those
breed up by using sire from some
one of the dairy breeds and then con-
inue to select sires from the same
breed and better yet from the same
family. The third cross will be as
good as the pure-bred for practical
purposes. but Of course not for breed
ing.
Care and feed are important con-
siderations and that is one of the rea-
sons that it is a good plan to start
with the native. Learn how by prac-
doing on her, then as the breeding up
goes on the owner will increase his
knowledged of how to care for the
more delicate bred animal, which in
return for good care and feed will
give a good return.
The colonel related his experience
with two native cows that he had
kept close record of. These cows had
had poor care before he came into
possession Of them in 1908. He BE-
gan to care for them and to feed
them carefully. One of these cows
gave during the first four months Of
her lactation period in 1908, 1881
pounds of milk For the similar period
Of 1909 she gave 3,181 and for 1910
1927, an increase of nearly so per
cent. The other COW during the first
two months of her lactation period in
1908 give LII pounds; for the sim
Mar period in 1909 1888 pounds and
In 1910. 1898 pounds, an increase Of
10 per cent.
The cows were six years old at the
beginning Of the experiment. This
shows what good feed and care will
do with even the ordinary COW. He
feeds corn and clover or alfalfa and
q little BRAN Eight to ten pounds Of
ground corn. ten to twelve pounds Of
alfalfa hay and what corn fodder they
want per day makes q balanced feed
for them. If clover is used instead Of
the alfalfa then three or four pounds
Of bran is needed. If ensilage is to
be had. let thirty to thirty-flve pounds
Of it take the place Of the corn and
corn fodder. If the clover or alfalfa
IL not to be had then it will be neces-
sary to feed bran and a couple Of
pounds Of oil meal.

GOOD CROP BY DRY FARMING
and Instructive Talk on Con-
servatIon Of Moisture.

Prof Thomas Shaw, who gave
very interesting and instructive talk
on dry farming at the Minot Farmers
institute, has had charge Of 45 de-
nomination farms in Montana the past
season. It was very dry there so the
results that he got are significant. Be-
low are some of his statements:
feel sure that If the land had been
farmed as it should and as 1t could in
1909 and 1910 that the crop in 1910
would have been at least twice what
It was. From the experience that l
have had I am sure that 1t Is possible
TO grow a good crop in North Dakota
every year if the moisture is saved.
If the land is handled on the dry farm
Ing system OF the farms that had
charge of last summer the result was
failure in every case where the land
did not have the right preparation the
year before. Where 1t had there was
Z crop. Not as large Is can be raised.
but a crop that will 80 a long way
toward paying expenses and great
deal larger than was raised here with
q much larger rainfall. At Chester
the rainfall was Z inches from Sep
tember, 1909, to September, 1910, and
~ inches during the growing season,
and the yields were 10 to 10 bushels.
At Cutbank the rainfall was 81
for the same season and the yields
were from 20 to 80 bushels. These
Yields were secured on summer fallow
that had been handled right.
The professor said that the right
WY was to plow 1t in June, pack q
once and follow the packer with the
harrow. And narrowing occasionally
to keep up the soil mulch. The plow'
ink should be done to a good depth,
and this is the best time Of the year
to plow deep. The soil has the mois
ture in It, and the long summer gives
the soil that has been brought up q
chance to be worked into shape to
give up its plant food.
The professor said that he would
rather have corn ground than the sum
msr fallow as far as preparing thu
soil for q crop Of grain. In case the
season should be wet ono then the
grain on the summer fallow would
produce more straw than that on the
corn ground. When questioned % tc
narrowing grain he said that this grain
mentioned above was narrowed foul
times. First when the grain was just
coming up When It was four to i've
inches high, third when 1t was six t.
seven inches and the fourth time wher
It was nine to ten inches high. He
thought that If the grain had not beer
given those four borrowings that thu
yields would have been much less. HI
also stated that the amount OF seed
70 SOW should be less under dry con
ditions. That not over . busho
should be sown Of wheat. In fao
three pecks ME or bluestem and on<
bushel of durum would be about right
In the western part Of the state and
that these amounts could be increased
eastward in the state q the rainfall
va larger.
