Disk the Fields and Pasture.

Fields and pastures that have been in
tested by grasshoppers during the sum-
mel should be we'll disked in the fall
when the females are depositing their
eggs. This will kill some of the in
sects and break up the nests and de-
stroy the eggs Of many more, SO that
a much smaller brood will be Matched
in the following spring. And thus 1t is
with most insects. BY breaking up
their nests with cultural implements,
with burning and with spraying the
number Of young may often be reduc-
ed so that the few that remain may be
easily handed without serious loss.
Millions Of insects and insects nests
and eggs are hidden in the trash and
weeds that are too often allowed to &C.
cumulate along fence rows, in orner
and in the roadway. If this trash is
burned on some bright day in late au-
tumn frequently far nor than half
Of the insect hordes will be destroyed.
This practice Is also in conformity
with generally approved farming meth

sanitary. Although in the design in
the illustration special emphasis has
been placed on convenience, it Is be-
lieved that the other requirements
have not been overlooked. This shed
is 50x80 feet and will accommodate
70 head Of cattle. The space for cat
tie is divided by the central feed al
leys into two parts, each 1880 feet.
The middle of the shed is devoted to
q feed bin six feet In width and ex-
tending the entire length of the shed.
The feed bin is filed through the win
dows at either end. The feeding of
grain Is exceptionally convenient and
is accomplished by dipping a shovel or
feed measur into the side of the bin
and %depositing it into the feed troughs
on the other side of the alleys. The
openings in the side Of the bin run the
entire length of the barn and should
be ample in size to allow a man to dip

were long vacancies in the rows plants
were filled in when blocked. June 10
to 25 the beets were cultivated with

the remainder Of the season they were
hand hoed. October u the sugar beets
were dug and trimmed the following

CROP ROTATION OF BENEFIT
When Proper TiIIage Methods Arc
Followed Crops Suffer Much
Less From Dry Weather.

by r. c. DONEGHUE, Professor Of Ag-
ronomy, North Dakota Agricultural
College.)
While all Of the auses Of low yields
Of the small grains cannot be remoV-
ed, practically all that r Of imme-
date importance can be controlled in
large by a well planned sys-
tenn Of crop rotation. When crops
are grown in rotation and proper till
age methods are followed, they will
suffer less from dry weather than
when they are grown continuously.
Crop rotation is usually Of more inn
p~ortance than the methods Of tillage
used in this respect, although both
are important. In most rotations
more roughage is produced than can
be disposed of by the work stock on
the farm. Hence more animals must
be kept and more manure produced to
return to the land to keep up the sup
ply Of active organic matter.
. The organic matter In the soil may
also be maintained by growing grasses
and legumes, (~clover. alfalfa, peas), in
the rotation. Inasmuch az not enough
manure can be produced on a farm,
to keep up the organic matter, no
system Of cropping is complete unless
It contains one Of these crops. The
fegumes have the additional value Of
being able to increase the nitrogen
content Of the soil on which they ag0
grown.

The environment under which this
breed develops has left it's influence
upon the breed. The island Is rather
rugged and exposed with a climate a
little more severe than Jersey.
While the crop and marketing condi-
tions are very similar to those in the
neighboring islands yet the Guernsey
breeders have paid more attention to
utility rather than fancy points; all
of which has tended to increase the
hardness Of the breed.
The Guernsey COW will average
about 1000 pounds in weight, rank
ing somewhat higher than the Jer.
seys in this respect. They are oar
er in bone and not quite SO smooth in
conformation. The common colors
are reddish yellow with white mark
ings on the face, TANKS, legs and
switch. The Guernsey breeders lay
much stress upon a deep yellow skin
as Indicative Of rich yellow milk and
butter. The breed has been kept
pure for many years by means Of laws
prohibiting importations of cattle into
the island.
The Guernsey ranks we'll with the
Jersey in quantity and quality of the
milk. The milk from this breed is
the yellowest in color of any breed
which is a strong factor in market
ing the milk, cream and butter.
The Guernseys are very popular be-
cause of their strong vigorous consti-
tutions, are good feeders, gentle in
disposition, cross we'll with the beef
breeds and readily adapt themselves
to conditions in the northwest.

ON CANNING TOMATOES.

Advice to Young Women Who Wish to
Sell Their Product.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
The young woman who can toma-
toes with the hope Of selling her prod
uct as we'll as using part of it at home
will find 1t advisable to classify her
fruit in the following divisions: Extra
fine, fine, medium and small. This
grading is for convenience in selling.
1t is well to impress upon the can
ners the Importance Of the different
sizes of containers small containers
require less time than large ones. A
pint can under fifteen pounds steam
pressure requires about six minutes,
and If under five pounds fifteen to
twenty minutes. A quart container
unLcr fifteen pounds Of steam requires
eight to twelve minutes, and under
five pounds Of steam twenty-five min

Large sliding doors are provided at
both ends Of the shed, so that a wagon
loaded with straw or a manure spread
er may be hauled through. The shed In
well lighted by large windows placed
high enough on the wall to prevent
them from being broken by the cattle.
-Four %louveres are placed in the top of
the shed for ventilation. The roof is
supported by two rows of posts, p,
placed along the outside Of the feed
alleys. The posts are eight feet apart,
with cross ties and supports, 8, be.
tween each pair of posts to securely
brace the building. This will be found
a practical and convenient shed, en-
bodying many desirable features
which it Is believed the drawings will
make sufficiently clear without further

MISS MERIlE HARDEN OF TENNESSEE,
IN THE GARDEN n CAN
MING CLUB WORK.
Of the country has led to the fOrma-
ton Of large and numerous classes for
instruction along this line. In a class
there is always the added stimulus Of
working along with other beginners
and profiting by their successes or
failures. Leaders Of canning clubs
from the United States department of
agriculture have found that certain de-
tails are essential for getting Il class to
do it's best work. In addition to the
canning outfit itself the following
items are really important for carrying
OH the work smoothly:
First.-A clock in a convenient posi-
ton, where all can see it, and scales
graduated from an ounce to twenty
four pounds.
Second.-A record book in which all
records are kept for the use of the
club member, school or housewife. If
pupils constitute Il class then each pu-
pill should have a record book and
pencil.
Third .-plcnty Of clean wiping cloths
for wiping cans, cOppers and steels.
Fourth.-Salt, sugar and plenty Of
clean, pure water.
Fifth.-A sharp pairing knife for each
person working; tables, tins, pans or
containers, buckets, etc, enough for
convenient and efficient work.
Sixth.-The necessary glass jars or a
supply Of tin cam with solder hem
med caps and the labels.
Seventh. Either commercial or
homemade soldering lux.
Eighth.-Last, but not least, a leader
or manager Of the canning party in
case the work is done from the stand
point Of the school or a class in can
ming. This leader should have the pro-
gram we'll in hand so as to arrange
for the proper division of labor and at
the anne time permit every member
to make her experience complete, from
the preparation Of the fruit and steriH-
cation of utensils to the labelling of
can or jar.

SUCCESS
IN H STATES
SAVES TIME AND ENERGY IN
SECURING THE NEEDED
REFORMS.

In California, the equal guardianship
bill has been defeated year after veal
until women got the ballot. Then the
very next legislature passed it.. In the
state of Washington, the advocates OF
shorter hours had been trying for eight
years to ecu an eight hour day law
for women, without success. ~ When
the women were enfranchised, the very
next legislature passed the law. The
same was the case with a whole series
of bills. ;
In Wyoming and Idaho, the repeal
Of the laws that formerly licensed gam'
bling is generally credited to the en-.
franchised women; likewise in Califor-
mia, Utah and Colorado the defeat Of
recent attempts to legalize racetrack
gambling. We are scornfully told that
Massachusetts has been able to keep
such laws off the statute book without
mi suffrage. Massachusetts could
but those western states could not. In
all five of them, the anti-gambling laws
are better than they would have been
without woman suffrage. Here again
the anti-suffragist is trying to prove
the uselessness Of dumb-bells by meas
uring the muscles of two different boys
instead of measuring those Of the same
boy before and after.
The anti-suffragists tell us that a
number of the n~on-suffrage states have
state wide prohibition. while in all the
suffrage states except Kansas liquor
can be sold. But in every suffrage
state less liquor is sold than would ba
sold in that state if woman did not
vote. We had a striking illustration
of this very lately. In Illinois, on
April 7, 1914, the official returns show
ed hat 90 townships went dry by the
women's vote when they would other
wise have gone wet. Yet, because
West Virginia has no licensed saloons,
while Illinois and Colorado have many,
the anti-suffragists insist that woman
suffrage does nothing to promote tenn,
perance! Could there be a more trans
parent fallacy? And this is the type
of the whole reasoning Of the anti-suf'
fragists in these comparisons.
Many Of the claims made by the anti
%suffragists in this connection are whok
ly baseless. They say that no law for
the benefit of women and children was
every passed where women vote till
after it had been passed in some place
where women do not vote. This would
be u~nimportant, wen if true; but it ia
not true. The first children's court

first state to establish the advanced
principle of "contributory delinquency"
I. e.. to provide that when a child

any grown person contributed to tho
child's delinquency by neglect or 9th,
erwise, that person shall be punished
