GOOD DRAINAGE
NEEDED FOR BARNS
Dry Stalls Necessary to Protect
$ Cattle From Common
Diseases.

Assistant Veterinarian, Minnesota

Drainage is more difficult prob
lem on the farm than in cities, where
there is generally a proper system Of
sewage disposal, but this is not suffi-
cient reason for disregarding farm
drainage Good drainage consists in
the prompt and complete removal OF
waste fluid or semi-fluid material, fol
lowed by It's proper disposition. The
floors of stalls should be so construct
ed that the urine will drain away
promptly If it is allowed to remain
the floors will be wet all the time and
the odor of decompos urine will
be ever present in the barn.
Certain common diseased condi
lions, such as footrot, are usually
caused by uncleanliness of the ami
mails surroundings. Scratches, OF
cracked heels, Of horses, is often the
4 result of standing in decompo sinl
manure, urine and other stable filth

Soil Fertility.

The Red River Valley carries
highly suggestive idea to all who
have read of it in geography and
story. It's immense crops of wheat,
barley and oats have been the won
der Of the country. Prof. F. L. Ken.
nard. of the Northwest Experiment
Station, Crookston, gives a timely
warning that the future reputation of
the Valley is not secure unless there
is a general change in farming meth
DDS. He goes on to say that we hear
and see a great deal in this day, of
conservation Of soil fertility. It is
very timely and proper subject for
discussion in almost any part Of this
broad land of ours. The time Of the
virgin prairie with it's abundant fer
tility is past. This fertility which
has been accommodating for ages is
fast being depleted. The reason is
simple. The pioneer who settled on
this land must needs raise wheat for
the sustenance Of himself and family.
Wheat has ever been the cash crop Of
the early settler But growing ex-
clusively this one crop should not be
continued. This is no longer a pio-
neer age and it becomes necessary
to abandon pioneer practices and
consider the future as we'll as the
present. .5 .
Thousands Of farms in the once
fertile prairie states would not pro-
duce sufficient wheat to pay the cost
Of production. Other farms in the
same section which are doing it now
will not do so ten years hence if the
one crop system of farming is kept
up. 3. u
The farmers Of the former class
realize this fact and are changing to
diversified farming. Rotation Of crops

Those Of the latter class if they

fertility as in the former case. OBJ.

SIX TO TEN COWS
FOR SMALL FARMS
Various Factors Determine the
Number Of Cows II Is
Wise to Keep.
BY A. J. MCGUIRE,

Extension Division, Minnesota College
of Agriculture.
The extent to which dairying should
be conducted on the farm depends up
on different conditions, such as the
size Of the farm, the amount of help,
number of other stock kept, and, it
might also be added, the necessity
OF making all the money possible.
When farmer is in debt or has
needed improvements to make, the
greatest number of dairy cows that
can be fed and cared for properly on
the farm will bring the largest and
surest returns.
On small farm man can milk
from six to ten cows in connection
with the farm work and this number
may be increased in proportion to
the number of boys and girls to the
family. A farm boy who does not
learn to be good mixer and who
cannot be depended upon to get the
milking done regularly and on time,
loses the better part of his farm
training. While the milking should
not be the womens work, it is not un-
womanly to be able to help with the
milking when necessary, and the
strength Of body that comes from this
wholesome work and the knowledge
which it gives of most important
factor of farming, should make it a
desirable thing for every girl brought
UP on the farm, especially when a
family needs money, which often can
not be made except through the keep.
ing of more cows.
On large farms, when considerable
other stock is kept and various prod
ucts sold, the number of cows MIXED
may not be SO important, but on the
small farm, and especially in the
northern timbered section of the state
where the farm must be made to pay
with from twenty to forty acres under
the plow, and frequently less-there it
is highly important to keep as many
COWS as the farm will provide feed
for.
By feeding the crop to good dairy
cows, it's value may be increased two
or three times over what it would be
If sold direct from the farm. Crops
marketed in the form of butter-fat
bring higher prices than when sold
as crops ard when the crops are fed
the land can be manfred, and this
means large yields, which are also
necessary on the small farm.

Up in Minnesota there is a farm

Up in Minnesota there is a farm
n who owns eighteen hundred acres
Of land who has organization. He
capitalizes the farm at 100000, the
value Of the land and the live stock
and the equipment. Then he issued
shares for the full amount retaining
the majority Of stock himself, dis
tributing the remainder among his
five sons and four daughters who
form the stockholders Of the corpora
ton. They elect the board of direct
,ors and officers. The oldest son is
general manager. Another son is
secretary and treasurer. Other sons
are given different departments Of
the farm; one is superintendent Of
the hog department, another of the
cattle, etc. . The homework is like
wise divided, the girls being placed
at the head of departments there. It
is hardly necessary to say this plan
is keeping the young folks on the
farm. First because they have fl
nancial interest in it, and second be-
cause they have responsibility for its
success.--Wallace Farmer.

Hampton Woman Wants Company to
Furnish Light For Residence.
Hampton, Nov. 5.-The city of
Hampton, on behalf of Mrs. Mary
Bobst. started an action in the district
court OF Franklin county against the
Cedar Valley Electric Company. The
petition of the plaintiff asks the court
70 gran. 2 peremntory writ of manda-
mus ordering the electric company to
supply service and make proper con-
nections to wires at Mrs. Bobst's resi-
dence at 205 Second street.
The action arose owing to the re-
fusal of the electric company TO make
connections and furnish service for
the residence. the company contend
ing that the structure was not wired
according to the special rules and reg
ulations of said company. City officials
contend that the rules of the Cedar
Valley Electric Company are unrea-
sonaole and place an extra expense
on the consumer which the company
should bear and that said rules and
regulations are not equitable.
The case will come up for hearing
a, the November term of the district
court unless the electric company in
the meantime decide to adjust its
rules regarding the wiring of resi-
dences.
