QUITE IMPORTANT
TO APPLY MANURE
First Step in Maintenance of Pro-
ductive Capacity. of Soil
Affords Better TiIth.

Farm manure is one of the products
of the North Dakota farm that is often
neglected. Manure when properly ap.
piled gives good returns. 1t has been
found at the North Dakota experiment
station that manure has given a re.
turn of $1.40 per load and that was
on the heavy Red River valley soils.
To secure this result it was applied
to corn crop, which it increased, as
well as the wheat crops that followed
1t. Had it been applied directly to the
wheat these good results would likely
not have been secured. In fact, II
might have brought In the first crop a
decrease instead of the % per cent in.
crease.
At the Langdon substation It was
found that wheat following corn ma.
nured, ten loads to the acre, was
increased seven bushels more than
wheat on similar corn ground, but not
MANFRED. And the next year barley
grown On the same land was increased
IN bushels, and the good effects OF
the manure will extend TO one or two
more crops.
The drier the climate the slower the
manure decays and so the good effects
from it become available more slowly.
When plowed under for corn the soil
is well packed on to the manure, which
hastens its becoming available.
Pasture land that Is to be plowed
n MI 10 he
manure. 1t stimulates the grass, and
the manure decays some, SO 1t is in
good condition for being worked into
the soil and for improving 1t when
plowed under. The pasture also has
the advantage that the manure can be
spread on it at any time. Meadow that
is to be plowed up is also splendid
place for applying the manure.
1t has been found that better re-
turns are secured from the manure
when light applications are made. Six
to eight loads per acre is good
amount to apply.
The application of manure Is the
cheapest means of returning organic
or vegetable matter to the soil, and
the maintenance of good supply of
decaying organic matter is the first
and most important step in the main
tenance Of the productive capacity of
the soil. 1t gives the soil better filth,
increases the availability of the min
eral elements of plant food and inn
proves the water-holding capacity of
the soil, in addition to being a source
OF nitrogen as plant food.-North Da-
kota Experiment Station.

DISORDERS OF THE
FAITHFUL DAIRY cow
Treatment of Noninfectious Gar
get Is Simple-Infectious
Form Is Hard to Cure.

(By +. B. HADLEY, Wisconsin College
of Agriculture.)
Garget makes an appearance every
once In while In cows which appar.
emily are in perfect health. The milk
in severe cases, is either stringy or
otherwise altered in character when
drawn and collects yellowish-colored
sediment on standing. In less pro-
nounced cases there may be little Wis.
ible change in the milk, but an exami-
nation would reveal large number of
germs.
Noninfectious garget is caused by
bruises or other injuries, or by a sud-
den congestion of blood In the udder
as frequently occurs in heavy mixers
and in heifers at first calving. At
fected animals usually make a COM
plete recovery IL given one and half
pounds of epson salts and their feed
is restricted to that of succulent ma
ture.
The cause of infectious garget is
germ or germs. When many of them
are present in the udder not only is
TIC ulllh ClldHBeu as IueullOUGu ABOVE,
but the udder itself becomes hot and
sensitive to the touch.
The importance of the infectious
form of garget rests In the fact that
1t is usually not easily cured and has
a tendency to recur. Furthermore the
disease is easily conveyed to healthy
cows through the medium Of the milk.
er's hands or contaminated material
of any kind, unless precautions are
taken to avoid the transfer of the
germs.
Temporary relief may be given by
bathing the udder with hot water for
one-half hour each morning and eve
ming. After thoroughly drying the sur
face of the udder warm cottonseed oil
should be rubbed in with the palm of
the hand.
A complete cure is possible in most
cases only by drying the COW off at
once so that her system may be free
to fight the disease-producing germs
that are present in the udder.

COFFEE WAS IT.
People Slowly Learn the Facts.

"All my life have been a slave to
coffee. I kept gradually losing my
health, but / used to say nonsense, 1t
don't hurt me-
Slowly l was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
nervous force was shattered.
MY heart became weak and uncer-
tain in its action and that frightened
me. Then my physician told me that
/ must stop drinking coffee or could
never expect to be we'll again.
Il thought of Postum but could
hardly bring myself to give up the
coffee.
Finally concluded that I owed It
to myself to give Postum trial. got
a package and carefully followed the
directions, and what a delicious, nour-
ishing, rich drink 1t was! Do You
know, found It very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum.
Almost Immediately after I made
the change / found myself better. and
as the days went by I kept on impfors
ing. My nerves grew steady, l slept
well and felt strong and well-balanced.
Now the old nervousness is gone and
I am well once more"

acts on some like poison, for health

Gently cleanse your liver and

Sick headache, biliousness. dizzi-

food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all

BEST SOIL FOR BUSH FRUITS
Prepare Holes Large Enough in Plant
ing That Roots May Spread Out
Without cramplng.

Have the soil deeply plowed or
spaded and prepare 1t as soon as the
plants are ordered Have the holes
large enough 80 the roots may be
well spread out without any cramping
OF twisting.
II there should be any delay be-
tween time of receiving plants and
putting them out, bury the roots In
moist soil--the heeling-in process.
Remember that IL these bushes and
plants are to make any returns the
ground must be kept well cultivated
and moist and fertilized, and the
bushes themselves be yearly pruned;
after the first year this pruning should
be rather severe.

GOOD HINTS ON STRAWBERRY
Most Profitable Varieties are Those
Not Influenced by Differences In
Soil and Climate.

Professor Lazenby gives the follow.
Ing summary of essential points to be
kept in mind:
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial grower are those not cas-
lily influenced by differences of soil
and climate. Those which succeed
well on wide areas are usually better
than those which have mere local
reputation.
Pistillate varieties when properly
fertilized are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
The value of variety for fertilizing
pistillate flowers does not depend so
much upon the amount as upon the
potency Of the pollen.
The flowers. of pistillate varieties
are less liable to be injured by frost
than the flowers of perfect varieties.
Varieties that are neither very ear
ly nor very late in point of maturity
