CROP ESTIMATES.

The commissioner of agriculture
calls attention to what he believes to
be gross error in the government
figures on crop production in North
Dakota for 1913, and in support of
his contention he cites u number of
facts which are within the knowl.
edge Of the people generally. The
crop estimating done by the federal
government has never bean a thins to
oe proud Of AZ is pointed out by
Mr.. Gilbreath, there was wide diff
terence between tho figures of the
department of agriculture at WASH
iitston and the census bureau for the
sfne year. Different people collect
cd the statistics. and the results were
immensely different. The differences
were never reconeiled.
The fact is that the machinery OF
formance of this work has never been
we'll systernatized. Possibly IT, cannot
no without the expenditure of 4 great
deal more money than the Importance
of the work would warrant. It ap-
pears, however. that the work is real
~ important, and that there should
he a system used which will give the
country something more than a
rough approximation.
There was time when farmers
quite gensrally opposed the collection
Of crop statistics on the ground that
the information thus collected would
be used by spectators to the injury
of the producing classes. Some Of
that objection still remains. but we
believe that 1t is disappearing. Farm
srs ere coming to recognize the fact
that their interests extend far beyond
the limits of their own fields. If
through the official collection Of stat
tstics the spectators were kept i'm

crs remained in Ignorance, something
could be saad in opposition to the coll
lection Of tbs information. But il

information, or II that Information is

speculative interests do not need to

there is no great speculator in grain

STORING CLOVER HAY

When clover hay is put into the
cock, it is advisable to open up the
cocks and permit them to air a short
time before taking them to the stack
or NOV.
II the hay is put into stack, the
stack should be started upon bottom
OF poles, brush, straw, or old hay.
Where it is placed directly on the
ground there is bound to be more or
less spoiled hay in the bottom. Glover
hay does not shed water, and it is ad-
visable to top out clover stacks with
rather green timothy, prairie, or slough
hay, putting on enough hangers to hold
the top in place.
There are a few variations in the
methods of making good clover hay,
but the real secret, no matter what
the method, is to cut it at the proper
time and cure it Gin the shade', as
much as possible, being careful to
avoid a hasty drying up Of the leaves
and overcuring. Properly cured clo-
yer hay will sweat in either the stack
or the NOW, but unless is is unevenly
packed and loose, no alarm need be
felt if it gets warm.
We clip these suggestions from Ex,
tension Bulletin AZ, Clover, by An
drew Boss and A. G. Army, which may
be obtained, without charge, by adj
dressing the Agricultural Extension
Division, University Farm, st. Paul.
Little Falls herald., 1914-07-31
WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA

For all classes of animals except
horses, alfalfa should be cut for hay
when the new shoots or stems begin
to appear at the crown. These are are
easily seen just as they come mp
among the old stems at about the be-
ginning Of blossoming time. Cutting
earlier than this is not desirable or
profitable, since the yield will be
smaller and the hay will be more diff
cult to cure. It should not be allowed
to get much beyond this stage for two
reasons: ~ Although q somewhat
heavier first cutting Of hay can be se-
cured By allowing it to stand longer
than the time recommended, the hay
is neither as palatable, nor as nutri-
thus. (2) Leaving the first crop after
it is at the proper stage to cut delays
and reduces the second crop since the
new shoots coming from the crown are
cut of with the first crop. When al
sfalfa is fed to horses, il may be allow
ed TO grow slightly longer than when.
sit is to be fed to cattle, but it sheuld
never be lett until the second crop IL
injured by cutting the first crop.

Jaly 2S.-The extremely hot wea-
ther is ripening the grain too fast. The
farmers are working early @nd late
to finish haying.
Andrew Hedin is the first farmer in
this vicinity to finish haying. His
helper, William Long, returned to Lit
tie Falls Saturday.
John Larson and son helped August
Blomquist stack about twelve tons of
timothy and clover Saturday. All of
this hay was grown on small tract of
about three acres, and August con.
siders it the best yield in years.
Aaron Engstrom is helping Gust
Nelson with the haying. Ed. Hammer,
who was formerly employed at Mel
son Is, has gone to Chicago.
Gust E. johnson and son Allen are
cutting hay for Frank Rendahl on
shares.
The farmers are busy cutting barley
and stacking rye this week.
The hottest day thus far this sum-
mer was last Saturday, when the ther-
mometer registered 106. And in all
this heat the women are out in the
fields working nearly every day.
During these hot days the farmers
should pasture the cattle where they
may be in the shade, and should give
them plenty to eat and fresh water
to drink. The chickens should be Civ
en- cold water once every hour. The
women should stay at home and take
care Of this work, instead Of working
in the field, as they would get more
milk and eggs and would lose less
stock and poultry on account of the
heat.
The Silver Park Steam Laundry and
Bakery will be closed until September
/, 1914. It's too hot to work now
adays SO the proprietors are taking a
vacation.
John Larson has purchased binder
and will not need to ask anyone to cut
his grain for him this year.

Not Cure.
There is no known cure or prevent
i've treatment by ordinary medicines
that can be recommended for hog
cholera. Disinfectants properly used
IN sufficient strength may have some
value in preventing hog cholera simply
by destroying virus on feeding floors,
troughs, etc.
The only treatment recommended by
the Minnesota College of Agriculture
for cholera is the use Of the Dorset.
Niles hog cholera serum. This serum
e the watery portion Of the blood Of
e specially treated, immune hog. It
undoubtedly has curative value in
some cases but should be recommends
ed as preventive treatment and not
as cure.
Good serum properly used is very
reliable and has saved hogs worth mil
lions of dollars, but large quantities Of
lmpotent or contaminated serum and
limitations Of serum were used in this
State during the past year with bad
results:-M. H. Roberts, Veterinarian,
