ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY cow
Make Valuable Addition to Winter Ra-
tions Because They Add to Va
riety of Feed.

No matter what some people tell
you, turnips and other roots make
fine milk producing feed Turnips
will not affect the flavor OF milk II fed
at the right time.
II turnips are fed In large quaint
ties and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but IL fed
directly after milking no flavor what
ever will be noticed.
A peck Of turnips to each animal
per day is sufficient In most cases. A
good plan is to feed directly after hay
In the early morning. and once day

A little salt scattered over the
turnips. which should be chopped in
quarters or smaller. add to their
palatability.
Roots make very valuable addition
to the winter ration because they add
to the variety of the feed and no ami
NAL on the farm appreciates variety
more than the dairy COW.
In Wisconsin. Iowa and other west
ern dairy states the root crop Is be-
coming a very important part Of the
crop of the farm.

SOME BENEFITS OF ROTATION
Whole Food Supply Of Soil 10 Utilized
and Valuable Organic Matter
Is Maintained.

Advantages connected with the
adoption of rotation are:
l. The whole food supply of the
soil can be utilized. This is not pos.
sible when only one crop is grown,
for some crops feed only In the sur
face soil, leaving stores of food deep
er in the soil untouched.
2. The amount of valuable organic
matter in the soil can be maintained
and even increased
3. The free nitrogen of the air can
be made use Of
4. Insect, fungus and weed pests
can be destroyed or controlled.
s. Provision can be made for the
economical distribution of labor
throughout the year.
The rotation suitable for the wheat
farmer r. one in which wheat il
grow alternately with a fodder crop.
This implies wheat growing com
bined with stock raising On small
holdings In most districts of twenty
Inches rainfall and over this may be
SO arranged that crop Is grown
each year. Such a plan, however, has
the disadvantage of entailing that
some OF the land be prepared in great
haste and possibly at an unsuita BILE
time.

BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY
In Selecting Cattle Real Test Must BE
Scales and eabcock Test-Con-
formation Of Cow.

Professor w. ]. Kennedy Of the
Iowa station recommends the follow.
ing In reference to the selection OF
breeding stock for the dairy:
In selecting dairy cattle the real test
must be the scales and the Babcock
tester. The COW is a machine to con
vert food into milk, thus she must
have a large middle and a strong con.
stitution TO insure the best results
She must also have a large ndder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good sized teats. Her heao
should be clean and angular In ap
pearance, with the eyes standing out
prominently. The neck should BIZ
rather long and lean in appearance.
The shoulders pointed, and the back.
bone rather prominent The skin
should be loose and soft to the touch
In selecting herd bulls, either mature
animals which have already demon
strated their worth as sires. or
younger animals from high testing
dams and sires only should be used
The best and surest results will
always follow the use of a mature
sire which has sired heifers with good
records. A good dairy bull should be
kept until he is IL or Is years old, in
fact as long as he is a sure sire. Real
good sires are so rare that when we
do find one, he should die only Of old
age. All breeders OF dairy cattle
should secure yearly tests on each and
every COW in the herd Shorter tests
do not really mean very much. 1t Is
the COW that stays by her job that is
really valuable.

KEEP MULCH At ALL TIMES
Principal Factors In Preparing stcr
age for Water Are Cultivation
and Deep Flowing.

| Most OF the farmers In this section
practice dry farming, but In my
opinion less than a third OF the land
farmed is cultivated according to dry
farming methods. The term dry
farming, as ! understand 1t, Is farm
( Ing and growing crops on arid lands
where precipitation Is 30 light that
special methods must be adopted for
| success. Many farmers will always
adopt the best methods which have
proven OF advantage to themselves by
observing the failures and successes
of others. The average annual rain
fall in this section of North Dakota
Is twenty inches, so that some sys-
tenn OF conserving moisture must be
practfced. Where land Ia summer
raIlowed and allowed to remain idle
every other season, consider 800
acres a very good size for the dry
farm, while 100 acres will furnish
plenty OF work where crops are 70

season. The latter plan | look upon
as being the most favorable and en-

limestone and other soil ingredients,
writes e. D. Baker of Morton county,
8. D.. In the Orange Judd Farmer. The
necessary equipment for managing the
farm are pillow, a disk harrow,
drag, disk press drill and a cult
vator. For wheat growing upon dry
farm land that is rotated, spring
plow1ng Is the best. l usually make
1t rule to get out IN the field just
as soon as the frost goes out of the
ground. Where land Is summer fall
lowed blowing Is done during the
month Of June, as there Is usually
enough moisture in the ground at
that time to stir the soil without
turning up clods, and late piowing
also has the effect of destroying
weeds which draw heavily on soil
moisture. Deep blowing is always
preferable, but the depth will depend
upon the soil type.
The principal factors in preparing
storage for water are cultivation In
summer, breaking the top crust and
keeping the ground from cracking. In
winter the field should be left In
stubble in order to hold snow and pre-
vent blowing. Deep blowing acts as
sponge and allows the moisture to
be taken and prevents 1t from being
evaporated or from running of.
DO not recommend deep blowing on
lands that have a shallow surface
soil. In case weeds get started on
summer failowed land during we.
seasons, recommend blowing the
second time. When blowing l al
ways aim to do good work and get
straight and evenly turned burrows of
uniform depth. Each furrow is turned
over against the previous one 30 that
there is an air space between the
burrows. Skips are entirely absent
and no cuts or uncovered places exist.
All rubbish and grass are completely
covered and the soil is stirred to q
sufficient depth that Is of best advan.
