The American elm is undoubtedly
one of the best broad-leaf trees for
general prairie planting. It is hardy
throughout the west, the natural
range extending roughly north to
about the 54th degree Of latitude and
west to about the 3rd principal meri-
dian. On heavy, moist soils the trees
attain a large size, trees two feet
and upward In diameter and so to 70
feet high being common In river val
leys. The elm has a naturally up
right habit Of growth, generally form
ing a good straight trunk, which d.
vides into two or three main stems
1T a considerable height from the
ground. The height growth is rather
more rapid than in the case Of the
Manitoba maple, although it would
probably not produce SO great a
quantity Of wood in the same time, as
1t only grows n stem, whereas the
maple usually has two or three.
The elm should be largely grown in
western plantations, as it is easily
propagated and transplanted, is a
rapid grower and a long lived tree.

Convenient Horse Barn.

that Of the combination tool designed
to take the place of several distinct
appliances with the usual result that
it is a makeshift not well adapted for
any purpose. Then. too, the danger
of loss from fire, lightning and storms
is imminent enough to make separate
buildings desirable.
Too often horses are confined in
low. dark and damp buildings, more re.
semblng dungeons than stables. A
horse shut up in a place deficient In
light and ventilation can no more be
expected to come out fresh and eager
for work and motion than a human be-
ing under similar circumstances.
Horses require light. airy and dry shei
ter, and are too valuable to be housed
in buildings deficient in this respect.
The prospective builder should, there.
fore, carefully plan a barn that will
not only meet his requirements as to
size and convenience, but he should
also give due regard to the comfort
and we'll being of the horses to be
sheltered.
A separate harness room will be
found well nigh indispensable in an
otherwise we'll arranged barn, and a
carriage room, separated from other

The wood Is very tough, making OK
cellent posts, and is Of value for
many small repairs for which hard
wood is always needed on the farm.
The wood when dried makes very
good fuel, and after the tree is cut
reproduction is very vigorous from
the stump by means Of stool shoots.
AS an 9 tree the elm cannot be
surpassed, having an upright growth
and not being subject to sun scald.
When young the branches are liable
to split in the forks If heavily laden
with snow. Small seedlings some.
times suffer from being eaten back
by rabbits and other small animals in
the winter.
The elm thr1ves best on rich, moist
soils, and should never be planted on
very dry land. As 1t is rather a
light demanding variety, It should be
set out in mixtures with maple, choke
cherry or other shade bearers in or.
der to obtain . good soil cover. If
set out in a pure plantation it may be
necessary to u%nderplant after IL or
20 years, with some shade enduring
species in order to maintain good
growing conditions.

Andalusian girls are. as a rule. sin.

the exception Of those who live by the

builders place a two by six on edge
horizontally against the wall below the
height Of the man and tail Of the
horse. This will prevent the horse
from rubbing himself against the wall.
The edges Of the plank should be
smooth and rounded. The door Of the
box stall should be cut into halves so
that the upper portion may be left
open during the day to permit the
horse to look out. This makes the stodd
less of a prison and makes the ami
NAL more agreeable. The stalls are
provided with iron corner racks for
hay and feed with shallow managers
beneath to prevent waste. The feed
ing Of hay is done from the loft
through small individual chutes for
each stall.
The vehicle room is 30 by 20 feet,
and besides furnishing sufficient room
for a reasonable number of carriages,
contains a concrete wash floor and the
loft stairway. The loft over the We
hicle room is devoted to the storage
of feed, and has a central alley be-
tween the bins. The feed is spouted
into small feed bins on the ground
floor, one located under the stairway
and the other along the opposite wall.
The big expense Is putting the soil
on the road. The cost Of rolling and
narrowing would not add very much,
but it would make a good road out OF
what otherwise will be an impossible
mud bed during certain seasons OF
the year and not good at any season.
The $120 that could be saved in
marketing 5000 bushels of wheat by
means of the good road represents the
interest on $4,000. The good road
does even more than that. 1T in,
creases the value Of the land. It will
be moderate to put this at s. an acre.
On a quarter section this mean $500.
Then. again, the good road will bs
passable at practically all times OF
the year, which will result in making
It possible to market things when
they are at the best price instead OF
having to market when the road will
permit.
Good roads have also a big social
value in that It becomes much easier
to get from place to place-in fact, It
10 q pleasure to take . ride over the
good road. whereas It may be q pun.
ishment to have to 60 over some
roads that are full Of mud holes and
ruts In muddy weather and then when
it gets dry these ruts are ground up
into dust SO that the road II never
pleasant to travel over.
From this it 10 plain that the good
road win be . big factor IN the de.
velopment Of the community, socially
and financially.

The average cost OF hauling a bush
oil of wheat to market In North d.
kota is 6 cents. When the roads arr
poor this IL greatly increased. This
means a cost Of $50 for marketing
$1,000 bushels, or $500 for 5000 bush
els, when the roads are In fair condis
ton. This could be cut in half II the
hauling was over good earth roads.
The secret Of the good road is keep
ing the road bed free from water
standing In it. Where water IL allow.
ed to gather every passing wagon
makes the hole deeper until the place
becomes almost impossible. The rem
edy is keeping the road bed higher in

NEED OF WINTER PROTECTION
Ing Observation-Disclosures
10 Needed In Fall.

(By c. B. WALDRON, Horticulturist
North Dakota Agricultural College.)
The protection afforded woody
plants in winter 10 valuable chiefly
in preventing evaporation. as the de-
gree Of cold could not be largely at
fected.
Aside from protecting the plant,
what can be done to lessen the drying
up Of the twigs? Since there is such
a fatal tendency for woody plants to
give up their moisture during the win
ter months, n would naturally In
fer that such treatment az would en-
able plants to begin the period Of
rest with the maximum quantity of
moisture would be the best. This Is
emphatically true. Trees and shrubs
that are neglected during the latter
part Of the season 30 that the ground
becomes hard and dry, ripen their
wood p~rematurely, and unless fall
rains are abundant, the drying process
sets In before winter begins, leaving
the plant in poor shape to endure
further drying. Moreover. the roots
which should have had the encourage
ment of a loose, moist soil until the
end Of the season, that a large num-
Der Of new and active roots might de-
velop. have been practically at a stand
still. The root-hairs. which live but
a short time and need constantly to
be renewed, are not in existence and
the young roots themselves become
dry and inactive. A plant beginning
the winter in this condition can make
but a feeble start in the spring at the
best and not many experiences Of the
same kind are required to make the
result fatal. Compare the big firm
buds on the twig of a tree that has
had, the advantage of a deep moist
soil and good cultivation to the end
Of the season with the thin. soft buds
found on a tree growing in hard, dry
soil and that has, o that account.

ally something said about stopping
cultivation In August, so that the
plants may have opportunity to ripen
up their wood for winter. There may
be regions where this is good advice,
but our experience and observation
have let US to just the opposite con-
clusion and practice for the north
west. When winter once begins to
settle down upon the land in North
Dakota, even the trees have sense
enough to detect it, and the sudden.
ness and completeness with which
they close up their summer affairs
and get into winter attire suggests
that they need no aid from us in the
matter. Indeed some. Of the plants
that defer this change the longest
like the buffalo berr and lilac, are
among the hardest we have.

ESSENTIAL FOR A CREAMERY
Leading Dalrymen Throughout coun-
try Give Opinions Regarding
Number Of Cows Needed.

(By ]. H. WORST, President North Da-
kota Agricultural College.)
Sometime ago Secretary F. d. Co.
burn Of Kansas sent to q number of
the leading dairymen throughout the
country the following questions:
What Is the smallest number of COWS
or average dairy milk supply that will
justify the building and operation of
a creamery" What should be the
reasonable cost of a creamery for han
ding the product OF 300 to 500 cows?"
To the first the answere were as
follows:
w. D. Hoard-Cows, 300; milk, 1000
to 5000 pounds; it takes this quantity
to pay expenses and leave profit on
the investment.
T. L. Heacher-Probably 400 COWS
and 5000 pounds of milk.
H: c. Wallace-Not less than 800
cows pledged.
Hoa. James Wilson-There should
be 10000 pounds Of milk to justify q
good creamery profit
H. H. Wing-About 200 COWS and
5000 pounds Of milk.
Fl. e. Alvord-From $50 to 300 cows
and 5000 pounds Of milk.
Jno. Gould-From ESQ to 800 cows.
r. B. Curlet-There should be 1000
pounds daily for the season..
Goodrich-About 800 COWS or q
daily average OF 1000 pounds of milk.
w. X. Boardman-Would say from
800 to 500 cows or 5000 to 10000
pounds Of milk per day.
To the second question the answers
were as follows:
Hoard-From $4,000 to $4,000.
Haecker-From $500 to $4,000.
Wallace-the cost would be from
$500 70 $500.
Wilson-About : 1000.
Wing-From $4,000 to $500.
Notwithstanding equipment, from
$4,000 to $500.
Gould-From $1,000; to $500.
Gurler-From $4,000 20 $500.
Goodrich-From $4,000 to $1,000.
Boardman-From $500 to $500;

Closely allied to the plant lice r

tanned such prominence within the last
