REFUSED TO ACCEPT FAVOR
Wounded British Officer Insisted on
Waiting for His Turn to Have

The British officer, whatever his pro-

courage, solicitude for his men, and a
strict sense Of justice.

the proper season, is put first among
the advantages by large percentage
of the farmers. Other advantages men
toned are:
Ability to do thorough work. espe-
cially in hot weather, when horses are
at a disadvantage.
Saving in man labor. doing away
with more or less hired labor and
enabling one man to farm a larger
acreage than he can with horses.
Economy.
This last advantage is mentioned by
than of farmers in other states where
similar investigations of the tractor
have been made This is doubtless be-
cause the cropping system followed in
the Dakotas is such that the tractor
can be used to advantage for more of
the farm work than In most other
parts of the country.
The principal disadvantage of the
tractor according to the reports made
by these farmers, is its injurious effect
on moist soil. This difficulty is Sc
rious one in districts where the soil is
heavy and where 1t is necessary to do
considerable amount of work in
early spring.
Difficulty of operation seems to rank
next as disadvantage A large per-
centage of farmers emphasize it. 9th
er disadvantages mentioned are ex-
pense of operation, undue increase in
investment, and delays on account of
engine trouble.
In comparing the reports upon which
this bulletin is based with those OBJ
tanned from tractor owners in various
parts of the corn belt several years
ago it appears that less stress is laid
upon the disadvantages of the tractor
in the recent reports than in the older
ones.

DEFECTS IN BUTTER MAKING
Cooling Too Quickly or Working at
Too Low Temperature Makes
Butter Brittle.

Butter that possesses perfect tex
ture has fiinty appearance. If the
grain is destroyed it is usually the
result of overworking or of too high
temperatures. Such butter has
weak, greasy body. Cooling too quick
ly or working at too low temperatures,
makes butter brittle and crumbly. If
milky brine is present, it shows the
lack of thorough washing. Leaky but
ter results from lack of thorough in
corporation of wash water through
washing in fine granular form with
cold water, then working insufficient
~. A dry body is due to excessive
churning or high churning tempera-
ture.

Where heavy beef cattle are pro-

But with young cattle or dairy cows,
the risk would not be nearly so great
and the benefit derived from close
grazing would far exceed the chance
for loss. The extent and duration of
the grazing is an individual matter
for each farmer to decide, but in max
ing this decision he should bear in
mind that many of the unproductive
and so-called rundown pastures in
the best sections of the bluegrass re-
gion have resulted from too light rath-
er than from too heavy grazing.

PROVIDE CALF WITH SALT
Supply of Clean, Fresh Water, Always
Available Is Another Simple
Requisite.

BY the time the dairy calf is old
enough to eat roughage it should have
either access to or small daily offer
lngs of salt. Plenty of clean. fresh
water, constantly available, is another
simple and inexpensive requisite of
good calf care that is too often neglect
ed. Because a calf receives milk to
drink is no reason why it does not
require water. After the calf is two
weeks old it needs water in small
amounts at time, though often.

NEW MILK FOR YOUNG CALVES
They Should Have 1t for First Two
Weeks and Gradually Be Weaned
to skim Milk.

Young calves ought to have new
milk for the first two weeks of their
lives, then they can gradually be
weaned from new milk TO skim milk,
and at three or four weeks of age you
can take the skim milk away from
them by substituting a combination
of grains and hay, or any other dry
forage that they will consume. Then
gradually teach them to eat whole
grain, like oats and corn, and give
this to them extra besides their por-
ridge.

1t is not necessary TO feed the lay

Provide artificial shade if natural
shade is not available. Feed them
