BEST SOIL FOR DRY FARMING
Only Types of Land Not Adapted Arc Alkall, Heavy Gumbo or Light
 Sandy or Gravesly.

(By H. F. PATTERSON. Montana Sta
 g tion-)
 During the past two years we have received a large number of inquiries as to the best type of land for dry farming. There are a number of dif ferent types upon which farmers have had good success by following dry farming principles. The only types ol soil that are not well adapted to dry farming are alkali lands, heavy gum bo lands, or light sandy or gravelly soils, for the reason that they do not have good physical condition. The clay and alkaH soils are so fine in texture that it Is almost impossible for the plants to make use of the sandy soils are so open and porous that they will not hold any of the water and so are not well adapted to dry land farming. Of these two types of soil the heavy clay and the sandy, the former is more desirable.
 The subsoil is important in determ1n- ing whether land is well adapted for dry farming methods or not. The sub soil should be of such a nature as to absorb and hold large amount of wa ter. It is in the subsoil that we find the moisture reservoir, and unless this soil is of such character as to hold the moisture, we are going to have 8 great deal of trouble in trying to dry farm it.
 The best type of soil for dry land farming is a sandy clay loam, a soil that has the power of absorbing and holding a large amount of moisture and that can be very easily worked. and upon which the dust mulch can be easily maintained. It is very difficult to maintain dust mulch upon 8 heavy, stip, clay soil, whereas upon a sandy loam this mulch can be main tafned without a great deal of work.
 I.he slope of the land best adaptea for dry land agriculture varies with the different localities Farmers, as a rule, prefer the land that slopes gently towards the north or the northeast This, however, is not the most impor tant point. but one worthy of full con- sideration when choosing a farm. The north slope escapes the direct rays of the sun to fl degree, is trihe later starting in the spring, which is ire quent]y an advantage, and is generally not apt to suffer from hot winds and drought.

VALUE OF THE HEIFER BEEF
Meat Is Finer in Grain and Better and There Is No Waste-No Rea-
 son for Discrimination.

ProfessOr Kennedy of the Iowa college, while in England a few years ago, expressed great surprise at dis covering that butchers pay a higher price for heifer beef than for steer beef of the same age and condition of flesh
 Henry Wallace says this was also a surprise to him the first time he went abroad He found that the butchers were willing to give a premium on heifers over steers and we found that in one or two districts of England butchers would buy only heifers if they could get them.
 The reasons given by the butchers are that the grain of the flesh is finer, the bone smaller, and therefore the heifer cuts up better than the steer of the same age and furnishes 8 better capacity for beef. We remember when a boy at home," says MT. Wal lace, when beef was to be killed in the fall of the year, mother always insisted on killing a heifer. giving the exact reasons stated by Professor Kennedy as given by the butchers at Liverpool-that the meat of the heifer was finer in the grain and better and there was less waste"
 There is absolutely no sense or reason for the discrimination made against heifer beef in the United States. With COW beet it is somewhat different, for the reason that a COW that has produced a number of calves will not dress as large a per cent. of beef and the animal being older will not have the same tenderness nor fine quality.
 A half cent a pound, however should be ample to cover this shrink age; whereas a heffer is really entt- tied to a premium over the steer of from a quarter to half a cent

TO PROVIDE COTTON
 GRADING MARKETS
SYSTEM TO RE ESTABLISHED WIFE R FEY COVER MENT AGENTS WILL COOPERATE TO
 KEEP FARMERS POSTED.
Quotations Will Be Rulletined Each Day From the Cotton Exchanges
 Over the Country.

Little Rock, Dec 3.-In line with the policy of the Department of Agri- culture of the United States govern ment to cooperate with the farmers
 in explaining better methods and modern scientific principles is a plan recently devised for the grading of all cotton offered for sale and the post ing of current change quotations on cotton prices.
 c. w. Watson, state demonstration agent stated this morning that through the present organization of the government agents in the differ ent states the plan would be worked out so that operation will begin next marketing season.
 The plan as now worked out will provide for complete standard cotton samples to be in the hands of the government agents in each county. When farmer comes into the mar ket with his cotton he can compare it with the standard grades and thereby establish its quality. If there is any dispute between the farmer and the cotton buyer the farmer can refer to the government samples and meas ure the staple of his cotton by the official grades in the hands of the government representative
 In regard to the quotations, many farmers are now of the opinion that the current prices are denied them because of the organizations which
