Leavitt viii.
The first step in the contest of the
will of the late Mary r. Leavitt took
place before Judge Robert II. Risk of
the probate court Saturday. The will
was executed on Feb. 9, 1915, about a
year prior to the death of Mrs. Leav-
Patrick J. Murray, John Reig and
Minnie r. Beuton. The three wit
nesses were called and all testified
that the will was executed in their
presence and that Mrs. Leavitt was in
a perfectly normal condition at the
time. She was not sick but was, ac-
cording to the testimony of Mr.. Muir
ray, apparently in very good health
The will is being contested by John
Maher of New Haven, a son of the
testatrix, and who was bequeathed
only So. Mr.. Maher was represented

DISORDERS OF THE

Garget makes an appearance every
once in a 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 a yellowish-colored
sediment on standing. In less pro
nounced cases there may be little Wis

nation would reveal large number of
germs.
Noninfectious garget is caused by

den congestion Of blood in the udder
as frequently occurs in heavy mixers
and in heifers at first calving. At

The cause Of infectious garget is a
Germ or germs. When many of them

the milk changed as mentioned above,
but the udder itself becomes hot and

The Importance of the infectious
form of garget rests in the fact that

a tendency to recur. Furthermore the

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

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
it. Had it been applied directly to the
wheat these good results would likely
not have been secured. In fact, it
might have brought in the first crop a
decrease instead of the 25 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
manured. And the next year barley
grown on the same land was increased
71s 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 it's becoming available.
Pasture land that is to be plowed
up soon is a good place to spread the
manure. 1t stimulates the grass, and
the manure decays some, so it is in
good condition for being worked into
the soil and for improving it 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 a splendid
place for applying the manure.
It has been found that better re-
turns are secured from the manure
when light applications are made. Six
to eight loads per acre is a 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 tilth,
increases the availability of the min
eral elements of plant food and i'm
proves the water-holding capacity of
the soil, in addition to being a source
of nitrogen as plant food.-North Da-
kota Experiment Station.

Slowly was forced to admit the

nervous force was shattered.
MY heart became weak and uncer-

as the days went by kept on improv-

farms Of over 100 acres the average
was $1,575. From these and other fig
ures which convey the same lesson,

This relation of the size of the

toned to be of vital interest because
Of the notion which so widely pre-
walls that the ideal of American agri-
culture is the small farm. Numerous
real estate promotion schemes are
based on this idea. 1t is a distinct
fallacy. Very small farms are diff
cult to make successful anywhere, and
it is only the exceptional man who
is equal to the task. They must al
ways be devoted to the most intensive
types of farming, and the products
of most kinds of intensive farming
tiuctuate greatly in volume and price,
so that the business is very insecure.
The danger is greatly magnified If
the small farm is situated long dis
tance from market, for prices for their
products do not have to fall very far
until the transportation charges wipe
out all profits. Even in the vicinity
of the markets these small farms
succeed only in localities where
they have distinct advantages for
the particular type of farming which
they follow"

Under the conditions which prevail
on the average American farm, the op-
portunity for making a satisfactory
profit varies directly with the number
Of acres farmed, according to farm
management specialists in the depart
ment of agriculture. This statement
Is substantiated by figures gathered
in the course of a survey which has
recently been made by the depart
ment of a portion of Chester county,
Pennsylvania. This survey, in the
opinion of the specialists, emphasizes
what has been called the small-farm
policy" which is discussed at some
length in bulletin soon to be issued,
Farm Management Practice of Ches-
ter County, Pennsylvania.
In the territory surveyed, farms of
from 80 to 40 acres required for each
crop acre SIS worth of machinery on
an average, as compared with less
than SO worth on farms of 160 acres
and over. The small-sized farms need
ed one horse for every nine acres,
as compared with one horse for more
than II acres on the larger holdings.
In spite of this increased investment
per acre, the small farms were not so
well equipped with labor-saving ma
chinery.
On the farms of from 13 to 40 acres

say, the money which the farmer re-
ceives for his years work after the

Is the cheaper-priced dairy COW
necessarily the better investment?
The question is well answered in the
following instance: A man wishing
a COW for dairy purposes called upon
a dairyman who kept milk records as
well as cost accounts. The buyer con-
fined his attention to two cows. One
of these would cost him SIS, the other
SITS. The former was in good condi-
ton, but the dairy characteristics were
not as fully developed as they might
have been; the latter was the direct
opposite. The records of the two
COWS were shown the buyer, but he
was not as much interested in records
as he should have been. He did not

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no

the cause is often given as heart dis

GIVE cows SALT REGULARLY
Best Plan Is to Have Box Handy
Where Animals Can Help Them
selves Whenever They Wish.

Don't forget to salt the COWS. In
experiments it has been found that a
COW should have three-fourths of an
ounce of salt day live weight, with
an additional six-tenths of an ounce
for each twenty pounds of milk pro-
duced, to keep her in the best of con-
dition.
Animals deprived of salt become
emaciated and of low vitality, finally
suffering complete breakdown. Salt
should be provided regularly.
The best plan is to have box con-
tanning salt where the animals can get
to it whenever they so desire. Either
t1ne salt or rock salt can be used, al.
though we prefer the latter.
Middletown transcript., 1916-02-05

From these figures we see that it
would take the SIS COW about ten
years to pay for herself in butter; if
she was a middle-aged COW she would
never do it. On the other hand, the
$175 COW would have paid for herself
in butter in less than three years.
The buyer bought the SIS COW.
Would he have done this if he had
appreciated the value of records, and
figured out the value Of each COW?
