Dairymen differ to some extent on
the Kind Of COW which is most profita-
bic. some prefer a general purpose

producing family and the beef breed
OF cattle. writes l.. G.. johnson in
Farm and Ranch. Such cows are of
large build and easily fattened when
net in milk. and should one prove I'M
profitable she can be put on the mar
ket for beef at a good price. Such

profitable at the proper age for veal

years old, then sell to cattle dealers.
Some prefer. myself included, cat

adapted to milk producing. This class
includes several families or breeds of
cattle. but all have the marked char
acteristics Of milk producers. The
best way to keep up the herd to its
desired number Of good cows is by
breeding and raising the calves from
the best mixers of the herd.
| do not like the idea OF buying and
bringing new cows into the herd. as it
Is dangerous. and many a herd have
had disease brought among them by
the purchase OF single COW end

save the fourth or fifth calf OF my
best mixers and breed them at two
years Old and at the same time weed
out the COWS that are Improbable.
The choice Of tho bull is OF very
great Importance. and the saying that
the bull is half the herd should not
be forgotten by the dairyman. as every
calf added to the herd takes half its
blood from the bull. One COW may
prove a poor dam and fail to breed for

Such Q fault Is but a trivial one and
can DO easily corrected. But IL the

Spring Showers

Estancia and vicinity en-
joyed a fine shower on Monday
just after noon. The shower
came up from the southeast, and
was apparently heavier in that
direction. Water stood in the
streets for some time after the
shower. Thundershowers at this
time of the year would lead us to
think that spring is here, were
it not for the fact that we have
spent so many springs in New
Mexico. The absence of the
usual spring winds is a blessing
to the valley. While we may
not escape these entirely, it is
certain that we cannot have as
much wind as the past season,
when they began in February.

county treasurer, who shall
pay the clerk ten per cent. of
the gross amount collected.
Fourth. - Clerks shall make at
least four copies of list of persons
liable for tax and post them in
conspicuous places on or before
the first Monday of February.
Fifth Clerks shall make a
full report in writing to the coun-
ty superintendent on Or before
the first Monday in April.
Sixth. Clerks are empowered
to bring suit for collection. Per-
sons who have not paid this tax
in past years may be made to
pay back taxes today
Seventh. No property is eX-
empt from execution
Eight. justices Of the peace
and constables shall not demand
fees in advance.
Ninth. Poll Tax Collection
Bill provides that on demand of
clerk of school Board the en-
ployer of poll tax shall furnish
list of names. If the clerk finds
names of persons who have not
paid such tax, employer shall
pay same and deduct from ages
of employee.
Tenth. County Superindent
Or the clerk failing to comply
with the provisions of the law
covering the collection of poll tax
is liable to a fine specified in
Section IL, Chapter 121 Laws Of
1909.

before cutting. Corrosive subli-
mate is a deadly poison and must
be handled with great care.
Never use the same vessel for
any other purpose.
Small potatoes may be used for
seed if they are pure and true to
type, and will give as good results
as will planting larger tubers.
They may be either planted whole
or cut, one or two eyes to the piece
The best results in cutting
have been obtained by quartering
the potato lenghwise, and if a
cutting block is used, the larger
ones may be quartered by split
ing both ways. Where potatoes
are planted on a large scale a
machine cutter may be used.
Seed potatoes should be pure
varieties, true to type, and not
forced by irrigation. 1t is more
important that the potato be one
from q thrifty hill which contains
a good number of potatoes true
to type than that it be large size.
The best seed for irrigation is
raised by dry farming or at high
altitude in the mountains. The
seed should be as free as possible
from scab and the root rot disease
must not get chilled or frosted,
and should be changed often
where there is tendency to run
out A farmer who would raise
potatoes successfully must
not hesitate to pay the price for
the best potatoes to renew his
seed.
Potato ground must be plowed
deep. Usually four horses are
put on to a fourteen-inch ploW
and the furrow turned eight or ten
inches deep. If on sod ground five
or six inches will do the first year
The ground should be narrowed
the same day it is plowed and the
blowing should not be done long
before planting time. Sod ground
should be disced before plowlng
is commenced in order to make
as fine a seed bed as possible after
it is turned under. Alfalfa
ground to be used for potatoes
! must be plowed deep and a wide
sharp share used to cut off the
roots.
The best results are obtained
by the use Of a good potato planter
and such machinery is necessary,
if potatoes are to be raised on a
large scale. The seed should be
put in an average depth Of f@ur
! inches when dry, sandy soil,
though they may be planted SIX
or seven inches deep and still give
good results. They are not plan
ed deep enough as rule. In
mediately after planting, a good
four.horse cultivator should be
run through between the rows,
loosening the ground to the deph
of the blowing, or, if possible, an
inch or two deeper than it was
plowed. Use a four horse culti-
vator and run the shOvels close to
the rows. Follow the cultlvator
with the harrow to level the soil
and establish the mulch. Just
before the potatoes come through
the ground, give a second harrow

inc the teeth little back. The
