Mulch Is Valuable to
Winter Strawberries

Strawberries with a winter mulch
yielded 713 quarts per acre more than
berries not mulched, in an experiment
conducted at the Michigan State col
lege. 1t was observed that the mulch
conserved moisture, kept the berries
clean, smothered weeds during the
harvest, season, and protected the
plants against winter injury. I'm
proved conditions with respect to
these factors raised the yield from
2,275 quarts per acre on the test plot,
to 2,9SS quarts per acre on the
mulched plot. The difference in yield
was 500 per acre.
This experiment was conducted on
strawberry patch grown in well-matted
rows. The mulch was left on the
plants until the close of the following
harvest season. The mulch was put
on thickly enough so that it was three
or four inches deep in the spring. Of
course it was opened over the rows to
permit the plants to grow through.

Repairing Machinery
During Winter Is Best

Since the modern farmer is so de-
pendent upon the efficiency of his ma
chinery it necessarily follows that he
must make most of his repairs on the
farm, says ]. C. Wooley, chairman of
the department of agricultural engi-
neering of the Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. The farmer cannot afford
to take all his little repair jobs to
town and wait his turn to get them
done, but must provide comfortable
place to work and do them at home.
Any machine, whether housed or
neglected, is sure to need repair and
adjustment. If these repairs are left
to be made in busy time, they are
expensive and cause much trouble and
delay. Some form of comfortable build
ing that can be utilized as a repair
and workshop during the winter will
mean a valuable saving in time dur
ing the rush periods of summer work.

Young Calls Stomach
Has ONLY Limited Space

Probably the greatest fault in feed
ing young calves is the tendency to
feed too much milk. Under natural
feeding, calf takes it's milk frequent
Iy and in small amounts. The calf's
stomach at this time is not suited for
holding a large amount of milk. An
excessive amount nearly always re-
suits in indigestion and scours. This
condition, as many know from expert
ence, is not easy to correct. For the
first week, four to five quarts, or
about eight to ten pounds per day, is
the maximum amount the largest calf
should have. Less would be better.
The amount should not be increased
the second week unless the calf shows
no signs of Indigestion, and even then
the amount should not be increased
more than a pound or two.
Feed little and often. Keep the calf
little hungry. 1t will help 1t to
learn to eat grain and hay.

Alfalfa Is Superior
in Dairy Feed Tests
Protein and Lime Are Need
ed in Liberal Amounts.

Alfalfa hay contains about three
times as much protein and about six
times as much lime as timothy hay,
according to chemical analyses, says
Edward B. Meigs, Of the bureau OF
dairying, United States Department Of
Agriculture. Both of these substances
are needed in liberal amounts by
growing and milk-producing cattle.
Alfalfa hay, says the department
dairy specialist, is far superior to
timothy hay for dairy animals. Dairy
cattle in several experiments have
been fed for several years with no
other feed than alfalfa pasture and
alfalfa hay, and have grown well and
given fair yields of milk.
Other experiments have shown that
the life and usefulness of dairy cattle
is not more than year when fed on
grain and concentrates and poor
roughage such as straw, or upon
grain and concentrates alone; but
dairy cattle have thrived long periods
on rations of grain and concentrates
combined with alfalfa or timothy hay
of fairly good quality.
These trials raised the question:
Will dairy cows do as well on rations
of grain and timothy as on rations OF
alfalfa and grain, provided the tim
othy is fed with grain mixture high
in protein and supplemented with
calcium salt? Further trials to an
swer this question proved that cows
give 35 to 40 per cent more milk and
fat on rations containing alfalfa than
on rations containing timothy hay.

Corn Root Rot Fungus
Control Measures Vary

Fall blowing of corn land where all
stalks and shucks are turned under,
longer rotations and lower soil tenn
peratures are important factors that
influence the root rot fungus, accord
ing to r. E. Vaughn, University of
Wisconsin. Farmers in the main corn
belt who grow corn closer together in
the rotation, plant it in the spring
when temperature is higher and leave
the cornstalks exposed to act. as shell
ter for the root rot fungus, which
farmers farther north handle differ
emily.
Vaughn recommended the kiln dry
ing of seed corn, but where this was
impossible a dry attic gave good re-
suits. Rapid drying is important, as
the sooner dried, the less disease next
year.

Fertile Soil Is
Need Of Alfalfa
Farmer Should Have His
Land Tested for Lime and
Phosphate Wants.

Alfalfa is crop that demands much
Of the soil, says M. F. Miller, chair
man of the department of soils OF the
Missouri College Of Agriculture. The
three or four crops year demand
fertile soil or one that Is well treated.
1t is idle to think of growing alfalfa
under any other conditions.
Soil Must Be Treated.
1t Is sometimes said that every
farmer can grow alfalfa if he wishes,
and while this may be true in general
it is certain that on some soils 1t
would require more treatment than
the alfalfa is worth. AS rule land
that is sufficiently drained to grow 80
or 60 bushels of corn under favorable
conditions, and which at the same
time is well supplied with lime, will
grow alfalfa without difficulty. When
land is not of such nature 1t must
be treated so as to bring it up to this
standard by the use Of manure, ferti-
lizer, lime and drainage, If necessary.
Most soils require lime first. Every
man who is interested in growing al
falfa should have his soil tested for
it's lime need. Usually the land re-
quires some phosphate, although not
always. Application Of 200 to 25O
pounds of the 20 per cent superphos-
plate is often recommended. In some
cases potash is also beneficial, and In
most cases, nitrogen helps, so that
high-grade mixed fertilizer such as
a 4-12-4 may often be the best fer
tilizer to apply.
Tests With Top Dressing.
Experiments at the Missouri expert
ment station have shown some inter-
esting results with top dressing old
stands of alfalfa with nitrate of
soda. In most of these trials results
have been very good. These expert
ments have also shown the marked
value of cultivating alfalfa with
dull spring tooth harrow about three
times during the growing season In
order to keep out grass and weeds.

Keeping Rodents From
Granary With Concrete

To build a granary floor and founda-
ton to prevent rats getting under 1t,
one should put an eight-inch founda-
ton wall of concrete about Is inches
into the ground and about foot
above the ground. Use reinforcing
rods around the corners. Fill inside
this with cinders or coarse gravel
until 1t is eight or ten inches above
the ground surface outside, lamp 1t
down we'll while it is wet and then
lay down roll roofing or waterproof
felt with cemented joints and put a
four-inch concrete floor on top of this.
You will have granary floor which
will be dry after the first season and
which will not allow the rain to get
under it.

Much silage is likely to spoil if the

The dairyman who is after high

Alfalfa, one of the best hay crops
for late seeding, should be planted

only is dangerous but that much power

and provide a palatable pasture Of
heavy carrying capacity.
The great object in blowing under
green crops is to increase the amount
of vegetable matter in the soil. The
actual plant food these crops furnish
is not very great, except in the case
of clovers.
There is a lot of argument as to
which kind of clover is best. On soil
that is lined, sweet clover will add
more plant food in hurry than red
clover If your soil is not SO very
rich in lime you should use red clover.
Silage cutter tests show that the
cutter elevates the cut corn by throw
ing rather than by blowing. 1t was
found that elevating fans with low
air pressure were the most efficient
and require the least power to operate.

Prevent Rabbit Injury
bv Wrapping Tree Trunk

Washes such as soap suds, white
wash and the like applied to young
peach tree trunks may tend to pre-
vent injury by rabbits. The surest
and safest method, however, of pre-
venting injury consists of wrapping the
tree trunks with newspapers, wood
veneer wrappers, or chicken wire net
ting. In every instance the tree should
be wrapped to a height Of IS to 20
inches.
Moreover, the application of ordi-
nary house or barn paint, axle grease,
tar or pitch may do great injury and
even kill the trees.

George E. Bolster, the regular Re-

sor is one of the oldest pioneer set
tiers of Sheridan County, and has al
ways stood at the forefront in fur
thering the best interests of this
county. He has always been OH the
square with all who knew him. Dur
ing the years he was engaged in
business in Plentywood no one can
saw that t',nv were refused every
consideration from George Bolster
He extended credit for more than
$65, 900 which was a total loss to him
and as a result of the failure of
thousands of people who obtained
cr,Ai, from him to pay their bills to
the Bolster store he was forced to
close. You seldom hear Bolster find
ing fault with anyone because they
did not pay him. Instead, he says
that it was not their fault, they could
not pay on account of crop failures
which also forced hundreds of these
people to move away from here.
He is liked by everybody; he is a
man who can be trusted by every
body, and when he enters upon his
duties of county assessor he will
treat everybody fair and without ia
vor or any discrimination.
Mr.. Bolster has paid tens of thou

in~calculable, and the communities
which benefit from the industry
would sustain a blow which would
retard their development for many
years, as well as bring ruin to many
of their citizens"
The states of Montana and Idaho
will benefit greatly by the tariff on
peas and beans, Governor Moore as
serted, as thousands upon thous-
ands of acres in both states are de-
voted to these crops. AS an exam
pie of the results of agricultural pro-
lection, he pointed out that a few
years ago beans imported from China
We're retailing in country stores at 2
cents a pound, while last year the
same quality of bean brought Idaho
and Montana farmers as high as
$685. per 100 pounds and the average
price to the farmer in recent years
has never been lower than six cents
per pound.
AN average acre of beans should
produce 40 bushels, 60 pounds to the
bushel," he reminded his audience.
Multiply that by the average price
and it is easy to see what the bean
industry means to the farmer under
a protective tariff as compared with
Chinese beans that formerly sold at
two cents a pound.
peas yield an average of 25 to 80
bushels to the acre, 60 pounds to the
bushel and three to five cents per
pound, and at the prevailing price,
maintained by the present tariff, are
netting the farmer a handsome prof
it. | ,lear some say that the sheep
and wool industry is depressed I'M
der our present tariff.
Livestock men are now getting
about % cents a pound for wool as
compared with five cents during the
administration of Grover Cleveland
and nine cents for Canadian wool to-
day. You are also getting about Sc
or 81 per head for sheep as compared
with 81 in Cleveland days"
Tariff reduction is more to be
feared by the far west than any 9TH
part Of the United States, Cover
nor Moore commended, and can only
happen in case the Democratic par
ty takes control Of the government.
Conditions resulting from tariff re-
auctions under the Cleveland admin
istration left the farmer without mar
ket for his crops and factories and
capital idle, as a result of which
many millions of government bonds
were issued redeemable in 30 years,
the last of which have been called in
by the treasury at the direction of
Secretary Andrew Mellon only re-
Gently, he said.
Unemployment existing in the
United States today does not COM
pare with that experienced after two
years of the Wilson administration,
according to Governor Moore.
"There were 6 million out of en-
ployment then, as compared with
2is million this year." he said. ut
was only the World War, coming at
the time it did, that prevented a pan
ic far more disastrous than the pres
ent financial depression. Let us bear
in mind that we consume 80 per cent
of our products at home and tina,
the present consumption is 80 per
cent of normal. The three per cent
decline is principally the result OF
large purchases by importers pre-
vious to and while the tariff bill was
pending, which overstocked the mar
kets. This surplus is still in process
of being absorbed"
