that his relatives in Minnesota have
rallied t9 Tits aid. and q settlement
may be made with the bonding COM
pany and the lumber company before

PAVING Toll or Tiaris River.

At one ferry on the Tigris river the
toll is as follows: For a poor Arab,
two cents; for a prosperous Arab, four
cents; for a soldier, ten cents; for 4
pilgrim, twenty cents; for a European,
eighty cents. The scale OF prices for
nearly everything along the way is
similar. But many OF the Arabs are
SO poor thatthey prefer to swim
across in the ancient manner. They
bind several old gourds together and
then sitting upon them, paddle their
way along.-Christian Herald.

BUILDING UP THE DAIRY HERO
BY J. M. FULLER,
Dairy H~usbandry Department, State
College, Brookings.

The whole proposition OF building up
a high producing herd OF grade COWS
can thus BIO summarized briefly: Get
a good pure-Dred sire and a few grade
COWS as a start. Give proper feed
and care; weigh and test each cows
milk and eliminate the robber COWS.
A very important factor in improv-
milk from each COW. A small hand
tester aad a pair of scales, these are
the means by which the robber COW
can be detected. If the cost Of each
COWS feed and her milk aud butter fat
production are known, it is an easy
matter to determine what COWS are
paying for their keep and care, and
what are not. Sell the robber lows
and keep the good ones. If a good
sire il used, the calves OF good cows

dams in the matter Of milk and but
ter fat production.
The time required Is not long. Sup
posing q farmer buys a grade COW in
calf. In i've years her descendants
would number II If the heifers calved
at p months, and II each calf We're a
heffer. With five coWs the entire
herd would number &C in i've years.
Net al these would lie up to standard.

raised from 1000 to 1000 pounds in

Poor COWS are easy to find. High

Dakota agriculture" DR.. Hume sug-
gests that farmers should bring their
own problems with them for discus

farmers. There were more than 100

most commonly is found on alfalfa Is
small seeded dodder.
Codder a Parasite.
Doddor is a true parasite. In case
the seed terminates close to an al
falfa plant. the dodder plant may live
for a little time Independently, but III
a short time the dodder vine. for such
it is, begins to wrap itself tightly
around the alfalfa plants. In due
course the dodder plant sends tiny
feeders into the alfalfa or host plant
and from that time on the alfalfa Is
compelled to nourish not only itself,
but also the parasite.
An alfalfa plant infested with dod.
der may not suffer immediate death,
but it will certainly be greatly re.
stricted in growth, and no field of al.
falfa that is thoroughly infested with
dodder will make the greatest possible
| yield Of hay. Dodder infested alfalfa
may, however, perish entirely. In
such case the infested areas turn
brown as though a scorching fire had
passed over the field.
Severe Treatment Necessary.
When an alfalfa field is found to
be thoroughly infested with dodder
there Is only one desirable thing to
do and that is to pillow the fed and
tut it into some cultivated crop. Do
not put it into a small grain crop
with red clover because the clover
may likewise become infested.
It Ii much better not to purchase
alfalfa or clover hay that contains dod.
der. but If it is necessary to feed
such hay care should he taken to haul
the resulting straw manure on to land
which is to go into a cultivated crop.
Get Pure Clean Seed.
The desirable means for preventing
aodder in alfalfa all over South Da-
kota is to avoid it IN alfalfa seed
Alfalfa seed which contains doaler a.
an impurity should be avoided with
all possible care. Large seeded dod
der is not extremely easy 10 clean
fout Of alfalfa seed by ordinary pro
%cesses. Small seeded dodder may he
cleaned ont by the latest and best
methods Of cleaning, but when clean
ing is attempted there is always the
danger that one or more dodaor seeds
viii be found remaining after the
cleaning process and one dodder seed
in q bushel Of alfalfa seed may con.
denim the entire amount.
How to Distinguish Codder from
Alfalfa.
It is, therefore, important that every
South Dakota farmer who buys alfalfa
seed should ooh for dodder and avoid
it. Dodder seed is almost invariably
smaller than the alfalfa seed itself.
Moreover, dodder seed has a rough
surface, not a smooth surface, and the
seeds usually vary from a light vel
lowish color to a dark brown. Keep
a lookout for them in alfalfa aad II
they are in the sample do not buy.
Buy clean seed.
