Question: Will you kindly inform
me what kind of grass seed to SOW, if
there is any, upon which l can pas
ture COWS safely without the risk of
bloating? Will clover pasture pro-
duce this condition? g. D., Prosser,
Wash.
Answer: There are many pasture
crops that will not cause bloating,
and the one you should use will de-
pend on the conditions of soil and
moisture in your particular case.
Glover is not SO apt to bloat as alfalfa.
Neither of them will cause bloat if
care is taken to not allow the COWS to
Craze when they are very hungry,
especially when the pasture is wet.
In irrigated districts a very good
pasture to use is winter wheat sown
in the spring. We know cases where
30 cows were pastured one whole
summer on 15 acres on such a pasture.
This was done by heavy manuring
and plenty of water.

This disease is very serious one
and when the proper precautions are
not taken it is very apt to cause
hundreds of dollars of loss to the dairy
man. In recent article by ID. b.
Van Els, of North Dakota Station,
he gives some very good advice as
follows: "How now to keep the
disease out of our herd? This can be
simply answered by saying-keep
away infected animals. In order to
accomplish this one should make sure
that in buying new stock it shall not
come from an infected herd. An
animal coming from such herd must
be graded as infected and should not
be allowed to come in contact with
infected animals.
In buying cattle of uncertain origin,
care should be taken that no animal
is introduced that shows any vaginal
discharge. Before introducing a
strange bull into the herd, it will Ee
safest to subject him to thorough
disinfection. The bull being prob
ably the most important means of
scattering the Infection. Owners OF
non-infected herds should be cautious
that their bulls be not used to serve
infected cattle, while those who do
not own a bull should also be prudent
when patronizing bulls being kept for
public use.
While paying attention to all those
details we must not lose sight of the
fact that man himself may be the
transmitter of the infection. An
instance of this came under the obser-
walton of the writer, in which a man
after he had removed the after birth
from a COW after abortion, promptly
infected some other COWS that he
treated in similar manner.
When the Infection is once in
troduced into herd, it becomes
more difficult matter to eradicate the
disease, and 1T is quite test of per-
sistence on the part of the owner, be-
fore the trouble is under control and
before abOrtions cease to occur. Be-
fore attempting to stamp out the
disease one should realize that such
cannot be accomplished in a short
space of time, but that it is sometimes
"a matter of months if not years.
This much, however, can be said,
that the more thorough and systematic
we are in our attempts, the sooner
the desirable results will be obtained.
The treatment indicated, when a
herd once has become infected in
cludes the following points, the plan,
however, being subject to changes

Questions and Answers.

Question: would like some in
formation in regard to making butter.
How much salt should there be in
butter? At what temperature should
l churn? Any information you may
give will be greatly appreciated. F.
W. S., Garfield, Wash.
Answer: The amount of salt requir-
ed in butter depends entirely upon
the market requirements. What
would be too light in one market
might be just right for another. 1t
varies from three fourths of an ounce
to an ounce and a half for every pound
of butter.
TIE temperature at which the cream
should be churned will vary accord
ing to conditions from as low as 50 f
in the summer to 60 r in the winter,
You will have to determine which
temperature suits you best. 1t should
be kept in mind that the best butter
is churned to about the size of wheat
grains, and should come in about 35
to 40 minutes.
Question: What is the comparative
feeding value of rutabagas and carrots?

ing eight COWS. W. G. r., Omak,
Wash.
Answer: Such feeds as these are
fed not so much for the nutrients
that they contain, but to give sue
culence to the ration and, therefore,
it is advisable to plant the crop that
will give you the largest yield per
acre. There is very little difference
between the food value of these two
roots. 1t may depend largely on the
root that the COW reIishes most. In
feeding any root crop, it isn't the
nutrients in the root that counts, but
rather the fact that the succulent
feed puts the COWS digestion in a

Very good; excellent; fine; pippi ,
just dandy;-such are the comments
made about the show that is being
presented at the Grand for the last
half of the week. 1t was indeed one
of great merit.
The Ronfg twin sisters are just the
daintiest and most charming little
artists that have ever appeared here,
and their act is one of the refined and
pleasing kind that you can't help but
like.
"Benito." violinist, "The Kubelik of
Vaudeville" is great. Never before
in the history of vaudeville, has a
Bismarck audience heard an artist
get as much out of violin as does
Benito. At times it sounds as though
there is an orchestra of large instru-
mentation playing instead of just one
violinist.
Miss Nelson pleases with her pic
torial melody and the photo plays are
of the usual good quality shown at
the Grand. Unless you like to wait
for the second show you had best go
early tonight.

Mr.. Mann is thoroughly competent

THE APPLE.TREE STORY.

Paragraphs have recently been ap
pearing in newspapers that "a young
apple tree is to be planted to replace
the old apple tree under which Lee
surrendered to Grant at Appomattox.'
This appleeree legend survives the
years and all attacks upon it. 1t is
such a pleasing legend, blending pc.
etry and tragedy, botany and arms,
that people persist in believing it.
These fr,lit.tree legends, the Grant ap.
pie tree and the George Washington
cherry tree, are a great deal harder
than the fruit trees themselves and
live to ripper age.
The apple tree story has very little
fact to sustain it, Lee did not sur.
render under an apple tree, but in the
parlor, on the right of the entrance, of
the house of Wilmer Mclean which
sat back in big garden on the main
street OF the village OF AppomattOx,
about one square from the court house.
Cen Lee and his military secretary,
Col. Charles Marshall. entered the Nc
Lean house at 1870 in the afternoon
of April 8, 1865. Gen. Grant was al
