CUTTING SEED POTATOES.

%. (N. II. Agricultural NOAlcSc.)
Potatoes selected in the field from
the highest yielding hills are best for
planting, but if bin selection is prac-
tieed, averaged sized tubers should be
chosen. Potatoes weighing eight
ounces or a half a pound each are to
be preferred. If hand cutting is re-
sorted to, the tuber should be cut
lengthwise in four equal parts. Elk
periments have shown that two ounce
pieces give satisfactory results. Each
piece will have a portion of the seed
end and a portion of the stem end
There is good authority for the state
n,ent that the seed end of the potato
is more viable and yields better than
the stem end. If the tuber is cut in
the above manner, the seen end will be
represented on each of the four pieces
Seed potatoes should be treated for
scab. A good way of treating is by
making solution of corrosive subli-
mate, at the rate of one ounce to Z
gallons of water. First dissolve the
corrosive sublimate in little hot wat.
,er. as it does not dissolve we'll in cold
water. The corrosive sublimate cor
rodes the iron and tinware, so 1t
should be handled in wooden utensils
1t is also very poisonous, so care must
be taken to keep it away from stock
and children. Treat the potatoes be-
fore cutting and let them remain in
the solution for an hour and half,

discouraged. The silo idea is by no
means new, but it is as good as new
nevertheless.
Ensilage as a stock food has been
used for 30 years or more in eastern
states and has always been the source
of more coin for the owner than any
other investment a farmer ever made

err acquires silo, that he begins to
be effected with the germ of Prosper

This epidemic often effects whole

high priced that nobody but Croesus
could buy a farm and move in. The
boys though, who own the land, bought
it years ago like you did with strong

for all these experiments is 1916. The

RESPONSIBILITY FOR WEEDS
Many Poor Crops in North Dakota
Due to Noxious Plant Seeds

he raises? In other words If weeds
are allowed to ripen and the seed
blow onto a neighbours field and dam.
age his crop, is the man who raised
the weeds responsible for the dam
age? II mans stock damage his
neighbours field he is held responsible
IN Alberta a man allowed weeds to
rlpen seed. These blew onto a neigh
boris field. Suit was brought and the
man who allowed the weeds to go to
seed had to pay damages Of $672.OO
In North Dakota this year, 1913.
many summer fallow and corn fields
that were kept clean in 1918 have a
poor crop due to the weeds that have
drifted in from other fields, and in
many cases they were neighbours
fields. 1t is hard on the farmer who
spends a year preparing his land to
grow a good. crop Of grain to have
his seasons work put to naught by a
nelghbor who Is growing weeds. On
the open prairie the wind will carry
weeds and weed seed for miles.
The encouragement Of the weed
law would remedy this. Another way
Is to plant several rows Of willows
around the farm.
The enforcement of the weed law
would be a big step in bringing better
farming. Without its enforcement a
few careless farmers keep back the
progress that the better farmers are
trying to make-or making each farm
er responsible for the weeds he grows
would soon put an end to weed grow

DECREASE BUTTER FAT COST
Give Consideration to Cows Efficiency
40 a Butter or Milk Producer
Some Good Tests.

Many farmers in the Northwest are
beginning to take up the dairy indus
try. 1t il important at this time that
consideration be given to the ef-
hciency Of the COW as butter or
milk producer. This Is especially true
when one is preparing to enter into
the industry The cost Of producing
milk under farm conditions from tho
cow that is poorly kept and Often
unadapted to the purpose, is high.
This is true even though the feed
costs, labor and shelter costs are con-
siderably lower than where cows OF
higher production are maintained
Economy in the cost of production
and consequent profits are most easily
obtained through using cows Of high
efficiency.
This is we'll Illustrated by the re.
suits as obtained from two sections
in Minnesota. In one section, group
Of cows produced an average of 1913
pounds of butter fat per year. The
cost of production, with the relatively
high feed costs that prevailed, was
2S.3 cents per pound In the other
section, with lower feed costs but with
cows producing relatively lower
amount Of butter fat. averaging 15A
pounds per year, the cost slightly ex-
ceeded 80 cents per pound. Put in
another way. an increase in produc'
ton of onethrd reduced the cost OF
production by cents per pound. The
net profits from the COWS were ma
terially increased as the cost Of OBJ
tanning the additional 4S pounds Of
butter fat in feed. labor or capital
investment was small. This is not an
extreme instance, as the economy OF
greater efficiency in production is gen.
orally recognized. Results Of nearly
a years work Of the Leal-Wimbledon
Testing association have shown that
the high grade dairy COW has a pro-
ducing value under their conditions
Of one-half greater while the cost Of
feed is only slightly greater.
This is farther illustrated by two
groups of COWS that were carried
through a six year period under ordi-
nary farm conditions. In tho first
group, the production was relatively
low, representing approximately the
average production of the state. I'm
der this condition the average cost OF
producing milk was $1.1S per hun
dred pounds. The second group I'M
der similar conditions as to char
acter Of feed, but with somewhat
better care and better breeding,
produced IS per cent. greater prod
uct at Is per cent. lower cost. thus
making the cost of production of milk
SO cents per hundred pounds. Illus
trations of this kind are found II
every dairy community
1t is through cows of high efficiency
that the good dairyman secures
profits. 1t is not difficult with the
average herd to materially increase
its production. The first cross of
pure bred sire upon the ordinary COW
will often give an increase of from
40 to so pounds Of butter fat per an
mum. Under many of our farm con-
ditions this is the difference which
represents proft.-North Dakota Elk

Madam, if your husband is like most
men, he expects you to look after the
health of yourself and children.
Coughs and colds are the most COM
mon of the minor ailments and are
most likely to lead to serious diseases.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
it has a cold. If you will inquire into
the merits of the various remedies
that are recommended for coughs and
colds, you will find that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy stands high in the esti-
nation of people who use it. 1t is
prompt and effectual, pleasant and
safe to take, which are qualities es-
pecially to be desired when a medl'
cine is intended for children. Fol

""the headlight for this part of North

it is no assumption for Minot to claim
leadership because of the high char

their intelligence, education, and Ell
