MAKING CATTLE PAY OUT

That feeding cattle is profit
able business in North Dakota is
the statement of James McCabe of
Glasston. one of the we'll known
farmers of Pembina County. Mr..
McCabe's conclusion is based on
the returns from car load of
steers which he shipped recently
to South st. Paul market. The car
contained twenty-five two-year-
old steers and five hogs.
Mr.. McCabe informs the North
Dakota Development League Press
at Grand Forks. that the steers
We're bought the first of last SEP.
TENDER when they weighed $50
pounds each. On December list,
they were put on grain feed and
were fed until May first. $50 days.
During that time they consumed
$50 bushels of barley, $50 bushels
of wild oats cleaned from wheat,
and about 10 tons of clover hay
and silage. The steers when sold
showed a gain per animal of 396
pounds. The net returns were
double the first cost leaving StOl7
as the sum realized from the feed
and labor. Mr.. McCabe says that
the experiment has more than sat
isfied him of the possibilities in
feeding cattle for the market on
North Dakota farms.

BEATING the DAnDELlons

Lawn COnnissuers all over the
state are beginning to wage their
annual war on that little yellow
pest. the dandelion. All sorts of
methods of Graduating dandelions
are offered with more or less sue
cess. During the last few years
the superintendent of parks ir.
Grand Forks has made a study Of
different methods and has come
to the conclusion that where there
are only a few stray plants the
hest way is to cut the roots off be-
low the surface with a knife. Gas
oline or kerosene applied. to the
crown of the plant will kill it. In
In case the dandelions have alrea-
dy taken complete possession of
the lawn the best method is to
lombard them with a sulphate of
iron spray. This solution is made
up of pound and half of iron
sulphate to a gallon of water. The
spray bombardment should begin
on bright morning when the
probability of rain within the next
twenty-four hours is slight.
