ONCE THOUGHT WEED
CLOVER WINS PLACE
Sweet Clover Valuable Crop,
Even Where Plow Cannot
Be Used.

There are many farmers in different
parts Of the state who win be planting
sweet clover this spring for the first
time. Once considered noxious weed,
sweet clover has won place for itself
as one Of the valuable crops Of the
state. On gumbo lands. alkaline soils
and other places where few crops will
thrive, sweet clover takes hold and.
not only makes crop. but by the addi-
ton of humus in the form of decaying
root systems. greatly improves the
physical texture of the soil. we find
that many range men who have noun
tain coulees for summer pasture are
planting sweet clover where the pillow
cannot reach the soil and are thus add
ing greatly to the carrying power Of
their range. 1t is true that unless
stock is accustomed to the taste Of
the plant they will pass 1t by, but this
can be easily corrected by pcnning the
stock in a small sweet clover pasture
for few days. Once they acquire the
taste for 1t, stock VIII eat 1t in pref
erence to most other plants. 1t is a
legnme and thus adds nitrogen to the
soil, an additional benefit. For hos
pasture it has made good and many
dry farmers find it the best pasture
crop they can grow. 1t is surely worthy
of a trial by every farmer in the state

Bloody Milk.
Bloody Milk.
Question: What Is the cause and
the treatment for bloody milk?

the treatment for bloody milk?
+. b. S.. Eureka.
Answer: Blood may escape with
the milk when the udder has been i'm
tured by blows, also when 1t Is con-
gestcd or inflamed, when the circula-
ton through it has been suddenly in
creased by richer and more abundant
food, or when the COW is under the ex-
element of heat. The milk frothing
up and assuming pink tinge Is often
the first sign of redwater and it may
result from eating acrid or irritant
plants like rcsinous plants. Deposits OF
tubercle or tumors in the udder, or in
duration Of the gland. may be efficient
causes of the irritation caused by
milking contributing to draw the blood.
Finally. there may be a reddish tinge
or sediment when the madden or log
wood has been eaten.
The treatment will vary. with the
cause. In congestcd glands give one
pound OF EPSON salts. and daily there
after one half ounce of saltpeter. with
dram Of chlorate of potash: battle the
bag with hot or cold water. and rub
with camphorated lard. II the food IS
too rich 'or abundant 1t must be re-
duced. II from acrid plants these
must be removed from pasture or fod-
der. Induration of the udder may be
met by rubbing with combination OF
iodine ointment one part soft SOAP

soap may be used. Careful milking is

Eggs should be stored in Il room in

ture higher than 6S or 70 degrees is
apt to start incubation. The egg should
be turned each day to keep the germ

in many cases it does no apparent

Feed for Young Pigs.

Question: What Is good feed for
young pigs when they first begin to
eat? F.. r. F.. Fort Benton.
Answer: a good feed for young pigs
consists OF three parts barley. three
parts shorts and two parts ground
wheat. This, mixed with SKINNED
milk if it iseavailablc. makes an ex-
cellent combination. There is nothing
as good as skinned milk to mix in
combination with the grain. Oats do
not make as good feed for young pigs
as the other grains as they are too
coarse, the fiber in the hulls being
hard for the young pigs to digest.
Other grains such as barley or wheat
should always be ground before being
fed to hogs, especially young pigs.
