weeks after the rye has ripened. They
should then be allowed to gather the
entire crop and to Craze upon the
young clover that has come up with
1T.
Field No. is devoted entirely to
hog pasture. When clover and tim.
othy are planted together, the hogs
Craze principally on the clover and
leave most Of the timothy to be cut
for hay. In the fiye-year rotation, how
ever, field No. is depended upon to
furnish the principal supply Of hay for
the horses and cows. There should be
some surplus and this, of course, can
be sold. Late in the fall the field is
plowed for first year corn, and in the
following spring 1t takes its place in
the rotation as field No. /.
Under such system hogs furnish
the principal income. They are turned
in on the rye as early as possible in
the spring and there they remain as
long as the pasture is tender, al
though the brood sows should be
taken to other Enclosures as soon as
the spring pigs can be weaned, and
there bred for fall litters. Early in
May when the rye probably ceases to
afford good pasture the hogs are
turned into field No. 4, devoted to
first-year clover and timothy. With
the addition Of reasonably liberal
corn ration they feed on this until the
middle of July, or two weeks after the
rye has ripened, when they are turned
back into the rye field and allowed to
hog It all down without other feed. BY
the time the rye is harvested the corn
In field No. | Is ready for the hogs.
II none of the stock Is sold before, the
hogs will gather all the corn by No.

ly no labor and very little attention
the entire herd is furnished with pas.
ture and grain feed throughout the
entire spring. summer and fall. In
addition, there Is the corn from field
No. 2, which is harvested and not
hogged down, and the surplus hay
from fields No. and s.
Under this system, the only time
when outside labor is indispensable is
during the hay harvest On farm of
a hundred acres It is not probable that
this will amount to more than ten
days hired labor, which is certainly
much less than is required by the sys.
TENS of farm management In more
general use. AS for the cash income
It may be said that roughly speaking
rye ultimately brings the same re-
turns. whether it is hogged down or
cut and threshed and sold. In the
latter case, however, there IS all the
cost Of labor to be considered. To
save this. is the main object of the
system described.

DAIPY NOTES

Bad hay or fodder should never be
fed to the COW.
Sunlight is death to disease germs.
Flood the stable with sunlight.
Always provide the COW with good
bed to lie on. Be good friend to your
cows
Water with the chill taken out is
best for the milk cows. Put heater
in the tank.
The reason many cows kick is be-
cause they have been kicked first.
Ever think about that?
The way to produce milk profitably
is to have cows bred for that pur-
pose. Do not try to make cow do
two things at the same tine.
Fertile farms are necessary If per-
manent agriculture is to be estab-
lished and the dairy COW offers the
simplest and best possible means Of
securing these fertile fields.

Chemical analyses indicate that
there is nearly rs per cent more fat
and slightly more protein in wheat
middlings than in rye middiings, al
though feeding tests show that wheat
middlings are but very little better
than rye middlings. Feeding tests
have shown that pigs fed ON rye mid
dlings are quite likely to go off feed,
which is not so common an occur
renee with wheat middlings. With
prices the same. wheat middlings
would be the better feed, but il rye
middlings can be purchased for some

to the feeders advantage to use them.

WILL PUT THE NEGRO
DIVES OUT OF BUSINESS.

Minot policemen started Tuesday
night to cut off the source of revenue
for the negro men and women of this
city. A number of policemen were
stationed about the negro dives that
night and young white men intercept
ed as they were making their way
to the places. One band of five young
fellows, not yet 21 years of age, were
collared by the police and given an
opportunity to flee, otherwise they
would have been arrested. Seven
others were chased out of that neigh
borhood. This work will be kept up.
There are number of disreputable
negro dives in the city, where bad wo-
men make their headquarters. Beer,
squirrel whiskey, opium and "snow''
are sold at some of these places. If
the Minot officials exercise certain
precautions, it is believed that the city
can get rid of most of these places.
