That heifers should be raised large
ly on roughage is indicated both by
Investigations and practice. Legume
hays are by far the best. A COM
bination of good quality legume hay
and silage makes a very desirable
roughage; in fact, heifers over year
old will often make satisfactory
growth on such a combined roughage
even if no grain is fed.

\ Alsike clover is an especially val
liable crop on wet lands, not only be-
cause it will grow where there is
plenty of water, but also it will en-
without damage. No definite state
ments can be made in regard to the
length of time alsike clover can be
overlooked, especially at different
stages of growth, but the experience
of bottom-land farmers in widely sep
arated sections has shown that a l.
year-old stand may remain under
water for several days, or in winter
and early spring even for several
weeks, without being killed.

Proper attention to reforesting
rough, lands unsuited to agriculture,
to maintaining good forest cover at
the headwaters of rivers, and to the
prevention of rapid run-off on all
sloping farm lands would aid ma
terially in the problem of flood con-
troll, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

There are several advantages in
having cows freshen in the fall. But
terfat usually brings higher price
during the fall and winter months;
labor is easier to obtain then, and
there is more time to care for the
calves and a large supply of milk
The fall-freshening COW, if properly
fed and handled, will ordinarily pro-
duce well during the winter months,
falling off as spring opens. At this
time the spring pasture grass will
act as stimulus and prevent rapid
decrease in production during the
spring and early summer.

MINNESOTA STATE PRISON
ONE OF THE WORLDS BEST

The Minnesota State Prison, located
at Saltwater on the st. Croix river,
twenty miles east of st. Paul, with its
100000 plant and thousand-acre
farm, is considered one of the finest
state prisons in the world
But the Minnesota prison is more
than fine prison, it is one of the
most efficient manufacturing plants
in the state.
With an average of slightly more
than twelve hundred prisoners en-
rolled annually, the Minnesota prison
is turning out more than 100000
worth of binder Irvine and farm i'm
plements each year.
Warden ]. ]. Sullivan, in his last
biennial report, stated that in the pre-.
ceding two years, 4S,335,O20 pounds. OF
twine had been manufactured and
sold, in addition to 5,597 binders, 7,180
mowers, 1928 dump rakes, LOIS side
delivery rakes and 2,209 trucks.
The gross sales for this two yea,
period amounted to $7,S44,673. The
net profit to the state amounted to
$103,946. Inmates were paid $164,855
from the proceeds of these sales and
$S1S,255 was paid into the support
fund for the maintenance of the
prison.

Improvement in the cotton market

and ginning is well under way, acre
age being estimated at 100000, against
10000 last season. Grain production,
especially in wheat, was considerably
larger than last year, and brought good
prices, but alfalfa prices remain un-
satisfactory. Cantaloupe movements
during the summer exceeded former
seasons, with 4,162 cars shipped from

Ample rains have assured excellent
range conditions for livestock through
the fall, and both cattle and sheep are
in fine shape. Contracting of feeder
cattle for fall delivery has been active,
at prices above last year, and results
of fall movement should be favorable.
Markets for summer lambs have been

River Danube Flows
Underground For Ten
Miles Science ellis

VIENNA, Feb. 26 (F9-The Viennese
know now that they have been cele-
bra.ing the beautiful Blue Danube"
for years and years when in fact
science shows the Danube flows by
here only half the time
The Danube is disappearing
river. Court proceedings between the
states of Wuerttemberg and Baden,
in Germany, have brought out proof
that the famous river, set to song
by Strauss, goes dry every June
before it reaches the Wuerttemberg
border and that the river Eta, the
principal feeder, ten miles further
on, furnishes the wa5er that flows
by Vienna Ulm, Budapest and Bel
grade, in the Danube bed, in summer
and autumn.
The ten mile stretch Of channel
that goes dry every year. between
Immendigen and Tuttlingen, here
tofore has been a mystery. The
river obviously had flowed down
through wide cracks but no one ever
discovered where it went.
BY strongly coloring the water
the scientists who testified in the
recent German controversy say they
determined that the disappearing
Danube flowed underground about
ten miles and reappeared in the So
called Achkopf river that runs into
the Ach river This in turn flows
into the Rhine and eventually into
the North Sea. Therefore, it is only
the excess water, the part that flows
by here in winter and spring, that
is the Viennese Danube which runs
