WINTER RATION FOR TURKEYS
Only Sufficient Food Should Be Given
to Keep the Birds In Good
Healthy Condition.

(By c. E. BROWN, Poultryman, North
west Experiment Station, Crookston,
Mimi
During the winter season the stock
turkeys should be fed and watered
twice a day. Only sufficient food
should be given to keep them in good
healthy condition. When winter is
over it is advisable to feed them a
small amount of grain each evening
to encourage them to return to their
roosting quarters and thus prevent
them from wandering away with other
fiocks. The following ration is good
one for the turkeys: Mix equal parts
by weight Of corn or barley, oats and
wheat screenings, and in addition to
this green food should be supplied
once day. For this purpose mangels,
cabbage or clover leaves are the best.
Grit and water should be supplied at
all times.

DYNAMITE FOR STUMPS
If JUDGMENT is USED 1T MAY BE
HANDLED WITH SAFETY.
Never Under Any Circumstances Un-
dertake to ThaW Explosives Be-
fore Fire or In Stove-Always
Follow Printed Directions.
(By GEORGE RoBERTS.)

In the use of dynamite for Kidding
land of stumps, one cannot be too
careful in handling the dynamite and
the caps used to set it off. If good
judgment is used, it may be handled
with perfect safety. 1t should be
stored in a dry, well-ventilated place,
where the temperature will not rise
above 80 degrees F. The caps should
be kept in a separate place, as they
are much easier set off than the dyna-
mite 1t is unnecessary to tell most
persons that dynamite should be pro-
tected from heavy jars, and should
not be stored where any shooting Is
likely to be done. A few years ago
a carload of dynamite was exploded
at Jellico, Tenn, by a. boy firing into
the car with a 22-caliber rifle.
Most dynamite freezes at a tenn
perature between 40 and 80 degrees
F. Some brands will freeze at about
the freezing point of water. Frozen
dynamite should not be used. Never
attempt to thaw it until printed d.
rections, which come with every box
land if no directions are inclosed, OBJ
tain them from your dealer), have
been thoroughly studied.
Never under any circumstances un-
dertake to thaw dynamite before a
fire or in a stove.
About the only tools needed are
an augur and a tamping rod. An old
broom or hoe handle are satisfactory.
Never use a hammer or any other OBJ
ject for driving the tamping rod.
The hole is bored at an angle of
about As degrees, SO that the charge

will come under the center of the
stump. If stumps are hollow, Of
course the charge will have to be
located under some firm part of the
stump. Some blasters throw a log
chain tightly around the hollow
stumps to facilitate their removal.
The amount of dynamite to be used
depends upon several conditions: The
character of the stump; the character
of the soil, and whether it is wet or
dry; whether the stump is green or
partly decayed, and the nature of the
root system. Therefore it is mani
testify impossible to give specific direc-
tions as to the amount of dynamite to
be used. The amount of dynamite re-
quired to blow stumps of the same
kind in the same soil does not vary
directly with the diameter, but more
nearly with the square of the dame
ter, or, in other words, with the area
of a cross section of the stump The
area of cross section of stump 48
inches in diameter is 16 times as great
as the area of a cross section of a
stump IL inches in diameter. How
ever, only judgment developed by ex-
perience can determine how much of
the explosive shall be used in a given
case. The blowing of green stumps
is from two and one-half to three
times as great as for dead ones.

SUCCESS WITH CLOVER
WORTHY OF MORE GENERAL
GROWTH BY OUR FARMERS.
Crop Should Not Be Looked Upon az
Cure for All Ills of Soil, but as
an Important Factor In
Renovation of the Land.

Glover has been grown with varied
success in practically every state in
the Union. It's beneficial action on
the soil, its period of usefulness, the
wide range of nurse crops with which
1t can be grown, and its excellence as
hay and pasture crop, all serve to
commend 1t to place in our crop
ping system and prove it worthy Of
more general growth by our farmers.
Complaints of worn-out soils, weeds
and Improbable crops, do not come
from farmers who have made clover
an important factor in the cropping
system.
Glover should not be looked upon
as cure for all the ills of the soil
but as an important factor in soil
renovation and in maintaining or in
creasing the supply of vegetable mat
ter in the soil. Glover belongs to a
class of plants that, with the aid of
bacterial growth on their roots,
have the power Of absorbing the nitro
gen of the air and leaving 1t in the
soil for the use of succeeding crops.
The clover plant has large root
system that leaves considerable
amount of vegetable matter in the
soil This decaying vegetable matter
proves beneficial in times of drouth,
in holding soil moisture It also
assists in keeping light soils from

penetrating the subsoil and breaking
it up; SO that, when they are decayed,
the soil suitable for crop growth is
made deeper and the drainage Is much
improved. Results of experiments

show that, in continuous wheat farm
ing, the sowing of six pounds of
clover seed every spring with the
wheat, and blowing under the clover
in the fall, has given an average an.
nual increase, during period of 15
years, of nearly &c bushels per acre.
Still better results have been obtain
ed where clover is used in four and
five year rotations in combination
with grain, cultivated crops and the
use of farm manures. On heavy soils,
clover should be grown in four and
five year rotations, while on lighter
soils, and soils badly in need Of vege.

ficially grown in three-year rotation.
In growing clover, it is matter of
wisdom to SOW only the best of seed.
Do not SOW the seed until it has been
given termination test. This can
easily be made by means Of two

eral folds Of a small piece of cotton
cloth; thoroughly wet this and scatter
between the folds known number
(several hundred) of the seeds to be
planted. Place this on one plate and
cover with another plate, bottom side
up. See that the cloth is kept moist,
not wet, and at the end of five or six
days, determine the percentage of
termination. Seed Of poor vitality
will not terminate at all; or, IL 1t
should, it will at least give weak
plants that may not survive the sea-
son or the following winter. The seed
should be free from weed seeds and
other authorizations. Buy seed only
from reliable sources, and so far as
possible, use homegrown seed, when
1t is of strong vitality and known
purity.

Valuable Glover Crop,

AS a soiling crop, to be hauled di.
rect from the field to the manger,
clover has no equal, except possibly
alfalfa. AS green manure crop, it
is especially valuable. As a usual
thing, failures with clover can be at
tributed to a lack Of knowledge, or
inattention to, the details Of its grow
ing. It is to the apparently little
things" that the most successful
clover growers attribute their success.

Sowing Glover.

Glover should not be sown too deep
ly; yet 1t is desirable to SOW 1t suffi.
GENTLY deep so that it will neither
blow out nor dry out easily. The
amount Of seed per acre will vary
slightly with the method of seeding.
1t Is believed that in general farmers
sow too little, rather than too much,
seed. When sown separately it should
be at the rate of six to ten pounds

alsike, three to four for white,
