HOW TO PICK DAIRY COW.
Some Advice Given by Prof. Larsen,
q State College.

Armour.-Any old COW will no
longer do as a dairy producer, but she
must be an animal built for that par
ticular kind of work, otherwise she
will be fed at a loss. This idea was
urged by Prof. G. Larsen, of the state
college, in a dairy train address n
demonstration at Armour. In picking
a dairy COW he suggested choosing one
that has a form closely related to
the work she has to do" He said:
ID A dairy COW must have a
strong constitution, as indicated by
large lung capacity, full and deep
heart girth. fellow, loose skin and a
clean-cut appearance: CD large and
efficient capacity for holding and di-
costing food, indicated by a deep, wide
and long barrel, and loose, mellow
skin; (3D good blood circulation, in
Dictated by large, branching and long
milk veins, large and numerous milk
wells, long and we'll developed
escutcheon and loose, mellow skin;
(4) a strong, nervous system, indicated
by healthy, lear and bright appear
ance. by prominent, straight, open
jointed backbone and a wide forehead.
and Co large udder capacity. indicated
chiefly by the fore udder extending
we'll forward and the hind udder at
tached high between the thighs. The
udder should also be wide and level
The thighs should be fiat and wide
apart, with great width over hips, pin
bones and rump. In addition to these
factors a dairy COW should have SYM
metry and beauty of form.
Prof. Larsen pointed out the fact
that South Dakota farmers should en
gage in dairying because this state is
especially adapted to that business, be-
cause
/. BY feeding field crops to dairy
cows about $35 per COW per wear can
be saved in labor connected with mar
keting and transportation.
2. The dairy COW preserves the
richness of the land by maintaining
soil fertility.
3. Dairying produces human food
the year around. Cows in
winter field crops produced during the
summer. Cows should freshen N the
fall.
4. The dairy COW will change 81
worth of Dakota feeds into So worth
Of produce.

No Time for Worry.

Someone once said il We could put
a red light on every dangerous spot
in a city. the whole city would blaze
red. The closest watching OF the
combinations OF incidents hat lead TO
serious danger when the enterprises
OF a half-million of people are bound
into a small space. Signs will fail.
and the unexpected will happen.
"YeS We don't worry" said one OF
the steel workers. and no one else
worries. For worry has no place on
a battlefield or in a city. II men are to
do their allotted tasks and do them

No WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
UntruthfuI Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

OBTAINING a neighbor at the expense
Of the truth ices not help those who are
guilty Of the practice, and il may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands. in the
nope that they may secure customers
'or their own, will certainly fail OF
heir purpose. False statements so
naliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And. AS in the
case of the lands Of Western Canada,
he fertility Of which is now SO well
known to people of every state in the
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part of those guilty of the
practice.
The present war has given some of
these people the opportunity to exer
else their art, but in doing 1t they are
only %arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and a trihing
Investigation will only reveal their un-
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Shti appear GU III a 4 vi pa
pers. reading in part as ~follows:-
1T is believed that as a result of the
war tax or land imposed by the Cana
dian Government a number Of former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 160 acres. which in the case
of many of the former residents OF the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to ~confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds Of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only TO bring out the most en-
phatic denial. A full-1edged lie Of this
kind has, of course, only a short life.
and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread 1t, but. rs a
Winnipeg paper points out. II is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibiiities of Western Canada TO find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity OF this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
van Government has authorized a levy
of $40 per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value Of all u~ncultivated lands.
There are some special applications of
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having them
cultivated the owners as we'll as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. 1t is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi-
dents. The high price OF grain for
some years to come, and thu general
splendid character of Western Canada
land will make the ques.,on well
worth considerations

South Dakota State college, in an ad.
dress in this city. DR.. Lipp stated
that farmers underestimate the value
of quarantine, disinfection and santa

better sanitation in hog yards; the
pens must be dry, light and well ven-
tilated; the feeding floors must be
clean: the wallow must be sanitary,
and the pigs must be fed a healthful,
balanced ration. Sanitation must be
preserved by d~isinfecting the hog
houses; by keeping the hogs free from
internal and external parasites, and
where cholera is present by destroy.
ing all by burning, and by
burning all the trash in the yards.
AS to quarantine. there is a great nee
essity for taking such measures as VIII

the isolation of hog yards and houses

Notwithstanding thousand dol
lars will be spent by the dry forces
of South Dakota to carry the state
wide prohibition amendment in the

this fund. Later in the season a
temperance convention will be held at
some central point in the state, to be
attended by representatives of all the
churches in South Dakota. Leading
prohibition speakers will make ad-
dresses.

URGE GOOD ROADS

A strong agitation is under way in
Lake County for the promotion of good
roads. It seems there is a sentiment
abroad that the county should issue
bonds to the extent of a million dollars,
covering period of twenty years.
It is claimed that under the present
road law, this issue could be reduced so
gradually that the average tax payer
would scarcely notice the cost.
The idea is to construct highways of
either brick or concrete. Considerable
argument is in favor of brick, for the
reason that once down it will last for
ever, while concrete is liable to crack
and need repairs.

is the "duty of the state to protect all

by one citizen which effects the welfare
of ALL" In dissolving the injunction,
the judge said:
II am going to sustain the demand of
the state for dissolution of the injunc-

Therefore, I suggest that the case be
taken to the supreme court as soon as
possible. In the meantime, pending

court, the injunction will remain in

pose of studying the disease"
