THE QUESTION OF VERTICAL
DRAINAGE.
Answer to a Grant County Core
spondent.
BY MANLEY
Assistant Auronomist.

The only places where v~ertica.
drainage is Of any effect are locations
where an impervious layer of clay is
near the surface. thus acting like the
bottom of a wash basin. When such
a layer OF clay is above and a layer
of sand or looser subsOil below, drain
age can be accomplished by cracking
up the clay layer, but if the clay layer
is deep, dynamiting or vertical drain
age would be of no avail. For exam
pie, at Eureka we found a layer OF
blue clay over $50 feet deep. Drilling
wells into such clays or dynamitine
would do no good.
| would advise that you investigate
by boring n 24-inch well somewhere
in your slough and observing the
structure of the subsoil. If you find a
clay layer such as ] described with a
layer of loose subsoil or sand or grav.
ell below it, you can then drain your
swamp by simply tapping it at the
various points of lowest level. The
wells would only need to be deep
enough to tap the clay layer. The
same thing could be accomplished up
the clay layer. 1t is an experiment
worth trying.

SHROPSHIRES RAISED
ON COLLEGE FARM
BY James W.. Wilson.

The Shropshire is probably the
most prominent breed of sheep kept
in the Northwest. He is a medium
sized sheep. dark colored face and
legs, and has a dense fleece of COM
~paratively fine wool. His native home
is in England. The above picture
shows the type of Shropshire sheep
produced on the Farm at the State
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts. These ewes were not purchased
by the state. but were all bred and
grown on the farm. 1t is very import
ant that the proper type of an animal
be maintained for economical produc-
ton. This can be secured by rigid
selection and the breeding 10 only
choice sires of the breed or grade.
Animals that will mature at an early
age should be used. The demand in
the market today is for an early ma
turing animal. We believe this char
acter Of early maturity, under the
same care. can be fixed in a few gen.
erations. Ten years ago the type OF
this flock of sheep on the farm was
not the same as that represented
above. The neck has been shortened.
the legs shortened, the back broad
ened. the fleece is denser. and the leg
of mutton and the heart-girth has
been developed by the use Of rams
that had these characteristics. A per
cent of the offspring of these rams
has been sold until now the type is
we'll fixed.

GRAIN AND LIVE
STOCK FARMING
BY PROF. JAMES w. WILSON
Director Agricultural Experiment Sta.
ton, Bookings, S. D.

A permanent system of agriculture
is the kind we should all practice.
Years ago the Iowa farmers raised
grain and sold il at the elevator. To-
day she is the greatest live stock pro-
ducing state west of the Mississippi,
because she feeds her grain.
Live stock furnishes employment
the year round. A few good dairy
COWS consume much Of the roughage
on a farm that would otherwise be
wasted The same is true with the
colt. For the past ten years big
money has been made in feeding
lambs, and | have heard of people
paying off the mortgage by raising
hogs.
In this connection, a bushel of corn
will produce on the average Of ten
pounds of pork. By selling this
bushel at the elevator this winter we
would receive 32c to Csc a bushel.
BY feeding it to hogs, preferably
pigs. we would receive from Csc to
75c. If we added a little skim milk,
we would receive still larger returns
from the bushel. (See bulletin 1876
S. d. Experiment Station.) This
would all furnish employment for the
man throughout the year, and there is
"A place for all kinds of live stock on
every farm.
| quote the following article from
the Kansas Farmer:
ASSET OR LIABILITY: The
grain crop is a liability--the cattle
crop an asset. This is the statement
Of Director Webster, Of Kansas Ex-
pertinent Station, in a recent address.
This may seem a bit severe, but an
ANALYSIS justifies the statement. Here
is what w. G.. Palmer, agr~iculturalist
of North Dakota says about it:
Grain farming reduces the fertil-
ity. Stocking raising increases it.
Grain farming reduces the humus in
the soil. Stocking raising increases
it. Grain farming spells the mechan-
ical condition of the soil-stock rails
ing improves IT. Grain raising fosters
weeds, plant diseases and insects
and stock raising decreases them.
Grain raising results in decreased
yields. Stock raising increases them.
Stock raising develops thrift-pay as
you go. Grain raising develops the
credit system. Grain raising brings
the mortgage. Stock raising pays it
off. The labor for grain raising is
expensive-that of stock raising is
cheaper in that it is engaged by the
year. Grain raising is dependent on
the season-often resulting in failure.
Stock raising is quite independent of
the season. Taking care of stock is
A splendid training for children. Peo-
pie with the instinct for stock raising
are and have been the dominant peo-
pie in the world. Grain raising is a
soil robber; hence it is only possible
on a new soil, and then only for a
short time.
The aim of every farmer should be
% gradually work into some kind of
stock raising. The ideal is to mix
grain raising and stock raising. This
results In rotation of crops. In this
way as much grain can be grown on
he farm AZ though it we're all given

A Memory,

"Caruso's bones are musical" says
an English doctor; "if you tap n Of
his knuckles it gives out a higher
pitched and more resonant tone than
those of the average person Far be
1t from a layman's thought to dispute
the word Of an eminent medical al
thority, but from III school days We
have lively r~ecollections of a tap on
the knuckles resulting in tones that
for high pitch and esonanc would
beat any that Caruso ever uttered

THAT Human Trumpet Call"

VIC
When Enrico Caruso was in Atlanta
a few days ago he sang to the prison
ers in the federal penitentiary three
songs, including his Sob Song" from
"~Pagliacci." After hearing Caruso,
Julian Hawthorne, now convict No.
4435, wrote a poem, a few lines OF
which run thus:
Then, in the hush Of the great blank
hall,
God wrought a %wondrous miracle,
For a voice like a glorious trumpet
Arose as a soul from the deeps OF
And our souls rose with it on won
drous wings,
Rose from their prison OF iron and
clay,
Forgot the CRIME and the shame OF
things!
We were men once again in a sun
lit day,
Sin and grief and punishment-all
Were lost in that human trumpet
call"

The College keeps five different
breeds of sheep for Institutional work.
Each breed has its own character
istics. The students in Animal Hus-
bandry are shown the good and the
poor points of each and are taught to
distinguish one breed from the other.
These small focks of sheep we con-
slider a benefit to the farm in keeping
down the weeds during the fore part
of the growing season and after the
grain is cut and stacked they are
turned into the stubble, about the
middle of August. and secure their
living from the rape that has been
sown with the grain in the spring,
until hard freezing weather. They
also pick up all down grain and weeds
in the corners and along the fences.
In an experiment in pasturing
lambs on rape. and results reported
in Bulletin 119 edition exhausted)
of this Station a gain of t~hirty-five
hundredths pound daily was made.
This was a larger gain than was
made by another lot receiving corn
and rape. We do not believe the
present agitation of the tariff and
wool will affect, materially, the profits
of the sheep raiser.
On account of the doing away OF
the range system in the Western
states, a shortage in the production
of beef and mutton has been brought
about and ] believe it will be some
time before sheep will be cheap again.
stray dogs are gotten rid Of, they are
a profitable investment. An expert
ment is now under way %fattening
lambs on silage without grain, and
the results will be printed next spring.

PREVENTING CORN SMUT.

F. S. Of Potter County makes the
following inquiry:
Il have corn from a field that was
badly infested with smut What mus,
| use and what method must | employ
in order TO kill the smut and not in.
jure the corn?"
Answered by Prof. A. N. Hume, State
College.
There is no practical method OF
preventing smut in corn by seed
treatment. The amount of smut
which you will find appearing in corr
fields from year 10 year depends ap-
parently upon seasonal conditions. In
this specific instance, while | would
not advise anyone to try to get the
seed corn from a field where smut
was especially bad, | would, never
theless, not fear to use the seed if it
seems TO be good in other respects.
About the only method OF preventing.
to some extent. the increase of smut
in corn, is to gather and burn the
smutted stalks before the smut spores
become ripe in the fall.

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience Of Motherhood is q try
ing n to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it is over
he. system has received a shock from
which it is hard to ecove Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and q distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing il
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with m
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
