Some of the sanest. cleverest, and

ness that the country is in danger.
Ex-ambassador James Gerard said. on
lis return from Germany: I know
the intentions of the German govern
ment. It has made up its mind that
America shall pay for this war
Secretary McAdoo, speaking a few
days ago in New York, went further
and even estimated the amount which
we will have to pay to Germany If
we do not defeat that country utterly.
Mr. McAdoO said: DO you know what
would happen if Germany should be
victorious. as she would be il she
could bring France and England TO

We believe that the people of this

% TEACHERS
BOND BUYERS
Educators of the City and
County Subscribe to
Liberty Lean.

The teachers of FL Paso county
showed a great interest in the Lib
erty loan bonds at the meeting called
for the discussion Of the bonds by r.
J. Tighe, superintendent of FL Paso's
schools and Miss Myra WinkIer, cOun-
ty superintendent in the Morehead
school. Wednesday afternoon 1t was
shown that a great number Of teach
ers had already subscribed and one
teacher, Miss NJ l. Dalton, has pur-
chased $500 worth. " Of the so teach
ers present % of them had purchased
bonds before leaving and there are
many others in the county who have
bought them or viii buy them, but
they were not able to attend the meet
ing" said Mr. Tighe.
WingO Explains Bonds
T. NJ WinGo. chairman of the Lib
erty loan joint committee, explained
TO the teachers the technique of the
bonds and the manner of payment 1T
is best not to buy these bonds out of
your savings, but they should be
purchased out of your current earn
ings." said Mr.. Wingo. That is one
reason why the partial payment sys-
TEN has been arranged for by the
banks. and il should be taken advan-
tage of TO the fullest extent Inc gov
eminent may not draw the proceeds
from the banks Immediately. but will
probably draw the money as II IS
needed
May Exchange Them Later.
A point raised by the teachers was
the possibility OF exchanging the SO
percent bonds for bonds issued at a
later date paying a higher rate of in
terest. Mr. Wingo explained that the
bonds were convertible into bonds
bearing higher rate of interest if they
were issued, but that the government
would have to keep the bonds at par
even if many issues were made and
the credit stretched. The advantage
of converting the bonds is a protec-
tiOn to the investors who lend their !
money to the government now in |
stead of waiting for a higher rate of |
interest. he said

soy STRAWBERRIES in FALL
Spring May Plant In September
Prepare Soil Well.

Those who failed to get strawberries
planted In the spring may plant them
in September with assurance Of sue
cess.
Those planted In the early spring
will bear well next season, while those
planted in September will not yield
much of a crop, as the plants do not
have as much chance to make a Wig
orous growth, but some growers claim
that after the first year, the strawber-
ries set out in September do the best,
producing a larger crop of fruit and
continuing to do so longer.
The late, or e~verbearing strawberries
do about as well If planted in Sep
TENDER as they do IL planted In the
spring, as ii is the second season usual
ly they make their best showing in
fruit. If the weather is favorable in
autumn, a patch of Strawberries will
do well If planted in September.
1t pays to have the soil in excellent
condition. There ought "a b. quite a
lot of plants produced by unner from
the small number of ~everbearing plants
you may possibly have set out in the
spring, and these may be planted in a
new bed in September and they should
bear well next season up until frost
and freezing weather.

INDUCING CALF TO EAT HAY
Animal Should Be Given Glover or A.
falfa as Soon as II Shows De-
sire for R~oughage.

AS oon as the calf shows a desire
for roughage 1t should be given a little
good hay, preferably clover or alfalfa.
Soon after a little dry grain may be
placed In a box where the calf can eat
1t. Sometimes calves manifest a de-
sire for grain at first, that will lead
them to eat too much OF it, in which
cas they may refuse 1t entirely and
give the feeder a good deal Of trouble.
Only a very little grain should be CIV
en- the calf at first and the allowance
should be increased very slowly, al
ways being sur not to give too much.
Care should be used also not to feed
more hay than the animal will con
sumo In from / to 2 hours. The hay
the calf does not eat does 1t no good
and while 1t Is not so bad to feed hay
to excess as to feed too much grain, 1t
is entirely useless to DO so and should
be avoided.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1917-07-12

There are, however, difficulties and
limitations which no farmer can con-
troll. Climatic conditions I'm the win
ter time are such as to render this
| of disposal almost impossible for
days together. There are weather Pc
RODS when the ground Is too soft for a
load and it is difficult to have a field
prepared to receive manur at all
times. 1t is possible to forestall such
difficulties to a certain extent by start
ing operations on the land during the
summer and fall, making ready for en-
ergencies.
In order to obtain the best results,
the manur must be spread on the soil
evenly. The theory is that a small
particle of manure carries different
kinds of bacteria that are beneficial
to the soil. Even distribution will
scatter these different forms of bac-
terra and distribute them to every
square foot of soil surface. Growing
plants protect these minute forms of
life and encourage their multiplica-
ton in the soil and the bacteria break
down the particles of manure for soil
enrichment.
Manure left in plies will soon lose
Its strength. The Old-fashioned idea
of piling manur to rot it has passed
on its way. Very few farmers pile
manure nowadays, and it is noticeable
that manure pits are very scarce and
the few that are in use are much shall
lower than those formerly used. In
fact, the new ones are nothing but
depressions to collect liquid manure
from stable drains. When the value
of stable absorbents and their proper
S is well understood, the manure
pit will become obsolete and the ex-
preston "well-rotted manure" will dis
appear from agricultural literature.
The cow barn shown in the illus
trations is a sensible building so de-
signed that the farmer may exercise
his judgment in the arrangement of
one-third of the stable, fitting it close
ly to his needs. Every provision may
be installed for the economic handling
of the stock and because Of the efficient
lighting and ventilation of the stable,
this barn is excellent for it's particular
purpose. When a farmer starts in the
dairy business, he is not always sure

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

A good share of the profit from dairy
or beef farming is in the manure. In
selling butter and feeding the warm
skim milk, very little soil fertility
leaves the farm. No other kind of
farming will approach the value of
dairying in this respect. Fattening
beef cattle in the stable runs a close
second.
In computing dairy profits, the
manure value is seldom taken into ac-
count, because it is set off against
labor. In a lump sum manner, the
manure is supposed to be worth about
as much as the labor Of taking care
of the COW.
AS the result of q series of expert
ments conducted for the purpose of
trying to arrive at the money value of
cattle manure, $50 per cow per year
was found to be a fair valuation fol-

MEASURE HEIGHT OF STACKS
Method illustrated to Ascertain Mum.
Der of Cubic Feet Contained
In Large Pile of Hay.

To ascertain the number of cubic
feet in a stack of hay involves the
height Of the stack and which may
be determined by the following meth
cd: Two points are marked on the
ground on opposite sides of the rick
or stack and at nearly equal distances
from its center as possible. A cord is
then thrown yer the stack, stretched
gently from the point A in the ac-
companying Illustration, over the top
of the stack to the point B, and marked
to show Its length from A to b. The
cord is then removed and placed on the
ground in the position of Al, B1, and
I'll, the points of Al and B1 being ex-
actly the same distance apart as A and

SWISS CHARD IS NEGLECTED.
Old Vegetable Does Not Receive Atten-
ton Formerly Given to it
Good at Any Time.

(By LIE ROY CADY, Assistant Horticul-
turist, University Farm, st. Paul.)
Swiss chard is an old vegetable, but
one that does not seem to be grown a
great deal. 1t Is used entirely for
greens, much the same as young beets
or spinach. One advantage of Swiss
chard is that leaves may be cut from
it and others take their place, thus
doing away with successive sowing.
1t is good any time from the time 1t
is large enough to use until cold wealth
err. When the plant gets pretty near
full grown, the leaves may be picked
and the midrib taken out, and the leaf
part cooked the same as spinach. The
mldrib is also occasionally used, being
cooked the same as asparagus.

HIDES ARE QUITE VALUABLE
No Other Product on Farm Given as
Little Consideration as Skins Of
Various Animals.

Probably no other article on a farm
is given as little consideration for the
actual value involved as the hides and
skins of cattle, horses and calves
killed or which have died from natural
or other u A great many people
believe that hides are valuable only
when taken from animals slaughtered
for beef. While a hide taken off In
this manne usually Is more attractive
to q tanner, hides from dead animals
if removed within a reasonable time,
command full value. Horse hides
also bring a good price, although not
as much as a cow hide as the leather
cannot be used for sole leather pur-
poses.
When an animal dies 1t should be
skinned as soon as possible, especially
in warm weather.

Floor Plan.

the manure made by an animal weigh
ing 1000 pounds, when fed a liberal
milk ration in a good dairy stable,
where both the solids and the liquids
could be saved. Keeping up the rich
ness Of the soil Is the greatest problem
that farmers have to deal with. If the
COW will help the farmer in this re-
spect to the extent of $50 a year, the
problem is obviously simplifed great
ly.
To save this fertilizer, the stable
floor must be made Of concrete and
mi absorbents must be used. The
cattle must be supplied literally with
bedding, which should consist Of straw.
If the straw is run through the cut
ting box, it makes a better bedding
and absorbs a great deal more mois-
ture than long straw. The next best
absorbents for liquid anu are
ground phosphate rock and gypsum.
Gypsum is sulphate of lime and phos-
plate rock carries phosphoric acid, both
of which, under usual conditions, are
very beneficial to tie soil. They are
both known as ammonia fixers, as they
absorb ammonia from manure and hold
1t until they are applied to the soil.
There is a great deal more ammonia
in liquid than in solid manure. Am
monia is a strong nitrogen compound
and is extremely volatile, so unless it
is combined with some chemical Of an
affinitive nature, 1t floats away In the
atmosphere and is probably lost to
that particular farm.
BY the proper and careful use Of
cut straw for bedding, together with
liquid manure absorbents, the manure
is collected and temporarily preserved,
but 1t must be applied to the land al
most Immediately or heavy losses viii
occur.
While tine properly fed and housed
COW will supply $50 worth of manure,
1t Is up to the farmer to utilize this
valuable by-product to the best advan-
tage in order to secure the benefits.
The best method would be to make
daily application with a good manure
~spreader on land that is thoroughly
well fitted to receive 1t. With a proper
ly arranged n carrier it costs
very little to load the manure into the
spreader and urload 1t upon the land.

An AIl-around Surprise.

When the first shipment of frozen
eggs had arrived, their extreme hard
ness astonished the brokers, and a gen.
tleman calling at a brokers' office was
amazed to see him taking aim at the
wall with an egg.
"What the dickens are you doing?"
he asked.
But the man let drive, the only re-
suit being a slight dent in the wall.
The thing being explained to him,
he took a couple of eggs and put them
In his trousers pocket, intending to
startle his wife with them. Arriving
home, he waited till the family were
seated at dinner and then banged one
of the eggs at the new wallpaper.
But the smile quickly faded from his
face. The egg had thawed.

general rule, 1t is well to have the
crop follow some other one that has
been kept under the hoe and free
from weeds the previous season.
There are three methods of propa-
eating onions: the first, by sowing the
seed In rows where the crop is to
grow; second, by sowing the seed In
specially prepared beds and trans
planting the seedlings to the open
ground; and third, by planting sets
which have been kept through the win
ter. The first method is used by large
commercial growers IN account Of the
amount of labor involved in the others.
On small areas, however, it may be
preferable to plant sets.
Onions planted from sets will ripen
earlier than those from seed and sown
in the fields. When the transplanting
method is used, the seed is sown in
greenhouses, hotbeds, cold frames, or
specially prepared beds at the rate Of
three and one-half to four pounds for
each acre to be planted. The seed
lings are transplanted when they are
somewhat smaller than a lead pencil
and rather stocky. The root end of
the seeding is pushed into the soil
with one finger and the soil is then
frmed about the plant.
In the North the crop ripens and is
harvested during the latter part Of the
summer and early autumn. In the
Southern states where the crop is
grown during the winter, the harvest
ing and marketing period takes place
during the spring months.

whether he will like 1t or not, but
when he discovers that 1t pays there is
no further question. The farmer is
lucky who starts a real dairy business
in a carefully designed and well con-
structed dairy barn, whether 1t be
little OF big. A good dairy stable is
just as necessary to dairy farmers as
a store is to a merchant.
The barn illustrated Is only 60 by
30 feet in size, but it embodies all the
essential features of a good dairy
stable without any of the fancy frflls
that run into unnecessary expense. In
the dairy stable end Of the building
there are a pair Of foul air ventilating
fues to carry off the stable air from
the alleyways behind the stalls. The
stock shed end of the barn is supposed
to ventilate through the big door and
windows.
This stock enclosure was designed
to. suit farmers who raise a few head
Of purebred cattle each year and want
a safe, comfortable place to keep them
during the winter. Any special ar
rangement Of this part of the building
is easily made.
One silo is sufficient for a barn Of
this size. In the plans, provision is
made for an overhead track to extend
from the silo through the feed alley
to the cattle shed. Other overhead
tracks are intended for manure car
riers and these may run through into
the cattle shed in the anne way. The
location of these tracks will be deter
mined by the manner In which the
farmer takes care of shed manure
There is only n way to handle cow
stable manure, and that is to get 1t en-
tirely away from the premises rs
quickly as possible. In a stable of this
kind it would be much better to re-
o the shed manure at the same
time because this shed is Intimately
connected with the COW stable and the
odor from a carelessly kept cattle shed
would be Objectionable. Dairy men
cannot be too particular. The nature
Of the business demands the ~strictest
cleanliness.

ALFALFA is A CONCENTRATE
Must Be Fed as Such In Order to Sc
cure Best Results-Cut When In
Full Bloom for Horses.

Alfalfa must be considered as a con-
centrate and fed as such In order to
get best results. Not more than
twelve pounds a day for each 1000
pounds of live weight should be fed.
Other roughage, such as sorghum, cor
fodder, kafir or sudan grass, may
be grown and fed with alfalfa.
TO make the best horse feed, alfalfa
should not be cut until 1t is in full
bloom, and should be carefully cured
In order to keep it from becoming
musty and dusty. Such hay should not
be fed under any condition. for II pro-
