MELLETTE COUNTY ENDS
REMARKABLE FARM TOUR

White Rivers d., June 30.-Spe.
.ial to the News: The Mellette cOun-
ty farm. bureau, cooperating with the
business men of the county, has
closed one of the most successful farm
tours that has ever been conducted in
the county. Twenty-Five prominent
speakers and specialists from out of
the county we're with the tour to lec-
ture to the farmers upon alfalfa cul-
ture and a greater livestock pro-
gram.
Caravan Over Two Miles Long
At z O'Clock Tuesday morning, June
&c, the band met in the streets OF
White River and played a concert for
the farmers who were gathering to
begin the trip through the county. AT
3 O'Clock twenty-five carloads of happy
boosters went to Wood and there were
joined by several other cars. which
formed a caravan owe two miles long.
The first farm stop was made at the
home of S. A. Hill, six miles east Of
Wood. r. E. Johnson from the state
extension agronomy work delivered an
interesting lecture upon the culture of
alfalfa for seed purposes. The field
belonging to Mr.. Hill was inspected
and the crowd drove out to Hugh Sin.
clair's farm where Nick Casper Of
Rapid City spoke upon the possibili-
ties of reaping the first cutting of al
falfa for seed purposes. He advises
cutting the first crop if sufficient seed
pods are prevalent to warrant a crop.
See Oldest Alfalfa Field
Farmers who had prepared for
visits were in waiting when the train
of autos arrived. The Cordes broth.
ers, ten miles southeast of Wood, had
sevral stacks of hay up and were busy
getting the balance of the field down
when the visitors arrived. The large
Banker ranch was next visited. This
ranch has the oldest field Of alfalfa
in the county. This field was planted
several years ago and is making about
two tons to the acre first cutting.
From the Banker ranch the tour went
to the home of Cody Shining. At this
farm the community had organized .
serving committee to give a dinner to
the farmers and visitors. The amount
of good things served by these women
put the crowd in a receptive mood for
lectures, which were delivered by MI.
johnson, Casper, and w. H. Jones
from Omaha, Neb. Mr.. Jones is di.
vision freight and passenger agent Of
the c. & N. w. railroad.
From the Shining farm the inspect
ors went to the farm Of Peter Peter
son. Mr.. Peterson is q native Of Den
mark, having immigrated to this coun-
try in 1910. During the spring of 1912
he confessed that there was a great
event took place in his life.
He said: 81 am not a h~omesteader.

one cyril from the aould country and
vot did you tink. Dat girl had slipped
out her in de Rusbud and filed upon
one rough claim. / right away get

Proves Dairying Successful
Mr.. Peterson is one of the most
successful dairymen in the county.
In the first spring of his happy new
life he went to Omaha and brought
back from the general stock yards
a load of common red cows. He Sc.
iected ten of the best of these and be-
gan to milk them. He purchased the
best kind Of milking shorthorn bull.
Since 1912 he has been constantly
using a ~purebrbed milking shorthorn
bull upon the offspring from these
original Today he has forty
high grade milk cows. Uses a milking
machine. Owns several acres of the
finest dairy land in the country. Has
a family that looks S healthy and ro-
bust as pioneers could look. He is
happy and contented. Mr.. Peterson
says; "Any man could do what l
have done. There is no miracle to
perform. Just get the right kind of
a girl, get a piece of this cheap Mel
lette county land, some grade cows,
some old sows and get busy"
Indeed, Pete is an example of that
class of citizens that are needed in
building this new empire, which is
being carved from the wild unplowed
prairies. The love shone from his
honest face when he paid tribute to
his wife. He said, During our pio-
neering we had hard times. That
little girl who had cast her lot with
mine stuck. She worked in the field,
she helped me with the dsirying, she
kept me from losing heart when things
looked the darkest. If it had not been
for her I would have made a failure
like many other homesteaders."
Arranges Big Demonstration
S. R. Langley, seven miles east Of
Wood, had one of the best demon.
STATIONS lined up that has ever been
together In the county. When the par.
ty arrived at his farm he had his
hundred head or more of registered
Aberdeen Angus cows together for in
spection. w. j. Kennedy from the
Iowa State college delivered q Lecture

and its great possibilities out here
where cheap forage is so plentiful.
He says, eve must come down to q
better class of beef animals, feed them
a different ration from snow banks
and wind swept prairie grass" He
next judged some fine purebred draft
mares and gave an interesting side
light upon the future of the heavy
draft horse business. According to
Mr.. Kennedy, who is one Of the
United States greatest authorities on
the horse question, we are facing q
draft horse famine.

of the large alfalfa field the party was

DAIRY COWS NEED MINERALS
Lime and Phosphorus Particularly Re-
quired, According to Ohio
Station Tests.

That milk cows need more min
erals, particularly lime and prospho-
rus, than is commonly found in their
feed, is the finding Of recent feeding
tests at the Ohio experiment station.
The best feeds to supply these ele-
ments are Clover hay, alfalfa hay, soy
bean hay ana wheat bran. If plenty
of one or more of these is not given
In the daily feed, 1t viii be wise to
add about one pound of fine ground
limestone and two pounds of spe-
cially prepared bone meal to each 100
pounds Of grain mixture.
An Increased flow Of milk may not
be noted at once, but the good effects
are in the prevention of future de
crease In milk production. The min
erals may make their best showing
in the following year.
The two elements most likely to be
lacking are calcium and phosphorus.
Limestone carries calcium, and bone
meal carries both calcium and phos-
phOrus. When these are combined in
the feed while the COW is dry, 1t is
found that she will store enough to
production still further dur
ing her next milking season.

NO INDEMNITY PAID SCRUBS
Revised Regulations Disallow compen-
sation for TubercuIous Steers
and Grade Bulls.

Under revised regulations, effective
March l, governing the appraisement
of tuberculous animals and federal
expenditures by the United States De
partment of Agriculture in the eradi-
cation of tuberculosis, no federal In
demnity will be paid for scrub bulls
Section 8, which provides that mo COM
pensation will be paid for tuberculous
steers or unregistered bulls" places
scrub and grade bulls in the same class
with meat animals for which the sal
wage obtainable by the owner depends
largely on their condition and mar
ket value
This new provision reflects the at
titude of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture that scrub and
grade bulls are undesirable for breed
ing purposes, and that they are not
entitled to be classed as breeding
stock In the case of purebred bulls,
for which federal indemnity is paid
under the provisions of the regula-
lions, description of animal together
with registry number must be supplied
to the appraising officer.

SUPPLY COWS MORE PROTEIN
Bran, Llnseed oilmeal and cottonseed
Meal VIII Furnish Necessary
Ingredients.

Homegrown feeds for dairy cows,
unless there is an abundance Of clio
yer, alfalfa or soy-bean hay, do not
carry enough protein to produce milk
most economically, according to dairy
authorities at Ohio experiment station.
The addition of such feeds as bran,
linseed oilmeal and cottonseed meal
to the ration will supply the necessary
protein and assist in the digestion of
the homegrown feeds.
When no legume hay is available
and such feeds as silage, mixed hay,
clover, ground corn and ground oats
are fed, no COW should have less, and
heavy-producing cows should have
more, than 31s pounds Of linseed oil
meal daily.
Instead of linseed meal one of the
following equivalents may be fed:
Oottonseed meal pounds and bran 2
pounds, wheat bran 4 pounds and
gluten feed 2 pounds. wheat bran 8
pounds and oilmeal pounds, oilmeaI
pound, cottonseed meal / pound and
bran 3 pounds, or distillers' grain 8
pounds and oilmeal / pound. Where
a good legume hay is fed at least
half the above amount of protein
concentrate should be fed.

CARE SHOULD BE USED IN
THROWING FTRECRACKERS

Our attention has been called late
~ to boys throwing tirecrackers and
explosives on the sidewalks and un-
der the ladies feet, and otherwise
making public nuisance out of
themselves, frightening the women
until they are actually afraid to walk
along the street.
We are firm believers in allowing
the boys to have a good time on the
Fourth, but we do feel that there
should be some restriction exercised
as to where these explosives should
be used and some place designated
for the boys use in making noise.
Too much is plenty.

SATISFACTORY HAY FOR CALF
Montana Station Finds Mixture Of
Grasses and Legumes Best for
Young Animal

The most satisfactory hay for young
calves is a mixture of grasses and
legumes, the Montana experiment sta
ton finds Alfalfa hay is too laxative
for calves under three months old that
are fed skim milk or whey. Cereal
and millet hays are not satisfactory.
Feed more hay at all times than the
calves viii consume so they can pick
out the leaves and finer portions Dry
stock and bulls can clean up the
coarse hay which is left. After three
months, sIlage may be used in small
amounts.

DO NOT RAISE DAIRY CALVES
Many Dairymen Prefer to Market MIX
on Account of Good Demand
Feed Cost High.

Many dairymen do not raise their
heifer calves because their market for
milk is so good that they feel they
cannot spare any for the calf. and do
not care to fuss with substitutes. 9th
ers believe that the cost of feed and
help is so high that it costs more to
raise a dairy heifer than her equiva-
tent can be bought for on the open
market in another community, where
feed and help are lower.
