PETERSON, Professor of Soils, Idaho University.) During the past few years it has been demonstrated that of the Palouse region are “nitrogen hungry.” The question now arises and in fact has been repeatedly asked, “Shall we buy and apply artificial fertilizers to land to supply this required ni- trogen?” Our arswer is “Not until we have had time to gather more data upon the matter,” However, we do advise the con- servation of all of the nitrogen that comes from the soil. Ip nitrogen the manure produced by a single horse of average weight, vay 1,300 pounds, is We should pay that much for it if we had to buy it as commercial fertilizer at ordi- nary prices, An average cow will give manure of nearly equal value. Leaving out of consideration all soils our other substances except the one we | know our soil needs, is it economy to Shall the head of | throw away the manure? farmer who has a dozen horses and cows buy commercial fer- tilizer to a value of $100 and at the same time throw into the country drainage the same thing of the same value?

SURE TO LOSE MUCH FEEDING OATS AND PEAS TO DAIRY COwW For Early Green Feed and Sum- mer Hay of Good Quality Sow One or More Acres. For early green feed for cows in milk, and for a good quality of hay for summer and early fall feed, sow one or more acres with field peas and oats. - Select deep, rich, mellow land, spread about 12 two-horse loads of rotted mahure per acre on top of the plowed ground, and sow six pecks of field peas to the acre and harrow the field both ways. This will put the peas in at their proper depth. drill two bushels of heavy seed oats per acre. If ground is dry, roll after drilling. Field peas do best on well prepared rich land. Sown the first part of April, the crop will be fit to cut and feed to cows the first week in June. This combination makes a splendid | feed. No grain need to be given where oat and pea forage is fed. It should be cut and allowed to wilt a few hours before feeding. Feed a small quantity at first and only when free from rain or heavy dew. The quantity may be increased gradually. If too much is fed at first it is liable to produce hoven. The Canada white field pea is a hardy and prolific vari- ety. It will average 30 bushels of this | cured peas and two to three tons of | cured hay to the acre. | ginia The field pea is hardy and does best when sown early in spring when the ground is cool and moist.

Dairy cows fed the usual winter ra- ticns cannot produce large milk yields without loss of minerals from their skeletons, says Dr. E. B. Forbes of the Ohio experiment station, basing his investigations of the department of nutrition. From his results he advises dairymen to give the high-producing cow feeds rich in minerals, especially calcium, magnesi- um and phosphorus. A gradual shrink- age in milk yield or a failure'to breed may be due to mineral depletion, he continues. In his experiments different rations varying in mineral content were fed to heavy-milking Holsteins. More calcium magnesium and phosphorous were giv- | en off in the milk and excreta than were present in the feed, although the cows maintained their live weight dur- ing the experiment and stored sulphur and nitrogen. Doctor Forbes says that the cow must draw upon her bones to supply | this deficiency, because her capacity to produce milk is much greater than |! her ability to digest minerals. STEAM DEVICE FOR CLEANING MILK CANS | A young farmer boy rather novel steam device for clean- ing milk cans and other dairy uten- sils, The device, which is a simple form of steam boiler, was first con- structed to operate a small one-fourth power steam engine, which it did until he installed a small steel boiler, at which time the wooden boil- er was installed in the dairy house and used for cleaning milk cans, etc. The boiler, as shown at A, is a 16- gallon beer keg, with a return water pipe inserted in the lower end, shown at B. This pipe B is allowed to enter the firebox of an old cook stove, by which it is heated. A drain cock is placed at I and a safety valve is placed at G.

On His Western Canadian Farm. It is getting to be a long drawn oul story, the way that Western Canadlap farmers have made money. Many of them a few years ago, came to the country with little more than their few household effects, probably a team | of horses and a cow or two, and suffi clent money to do them for a few months, until they got a start. Hun: dreds of such can be pointed out, whe today have splendid homes, we equipped farms, the latest machinery and an automobile, Here is the case of A. E. Merriam, formerly of Devil's Lake, N. D. Ile didn't leave there be- cause the land was poor, or farming not a success, for all who know that country are aware that it is an excel lent country. He wanted to expand, to take advantage of the cheap land that Western Canada offers. And that same story has appealed to hundreds of others who have had like success with Mr, Merriam. But his story, and he signs it, too, is: “I came to Alberta in the Soring of 1909 from Devil's ake, North Dakota, locating on my farm near Dalroy. “I arrived with six head of herses and two head of cattle and about $1,500. Since then, I have increased my live stock to seven head of horseg, four head of cattle, and about one hun- dred head ,of hogs, a four-roomed house, good barn with all modern im- provements, a feed grinder, elevator, chopper, fanning mill, ete.

Increases of from $10 to $15 and in some cases much higher in the annual profits from each dairy cow have re- sulted from the organization of co-op- erative cow-testing associations in the United States, according to statistics gathered by the dairy division of the United States department of agricul- ture. The expense of membership in these associations, on the other hand, has been only about $1.50 per cow per year. The organizations therefore have been very profitable. associations dairy specialists of the department believe that the organiza- tions are one of the most important factors for the upbuilding.and devel- opment of the dairy industry in this country. Such an organization con- sists generally of 26 farmers, living “Land has increased at least twenty | per cent in value during the past few | years, now selling for from $25 to $35 $27 a quarter section yearly. “The climate here is better than Da- kota in that we do not have so much i Dakota. “As for farming in general, the grow- ing and feeding of live stock is more sure than the grain farming, if con- tinued year after year, and if every { farmer follows this he will be ahead of the grain growers in the long run. | Taking everything into consideration, | I feel satisfied with my success in | Alberta.” (Sgd.)

The results obtained thus far em- phasize the value of leguminous rough- ges in milk production. Without lib- eral allowances of such feeds, the loss of minerals from the bones becomes excessive and predisposes to disorders of nutrition. WASTE IN FEEDING ROUGHAGE Often Occurs Where Feed Is of ferior Quality—Much Loss in Feeding in Muddy Yards. In- Waste is caused by giving too much at a time. This often occurs where roughage of inferior quality is used. A still greater waste attends the feeding of animals in yards that are muddy, or are covered with snow or ice, and in which they are exposed to cold winds and storms. HAVE ‘REGULARITY IN DAIRY Farmer Should Not Only Milk at Fixed Periods, but Also Feed at Same Time. Regularity in a dairy always tends to produce more milk. A man should not only milk at fixed periods but should also feed his herd at about the same time every day, and should plan his stable work so that his cows will be undisturbed for a considerable time each day. KNOWLEDGE OF BEE RAISING To Obtain Best Results Farmer Must Know Something of Principles of Queen Rearing. No man can intelligently set him- self to the work of increasing the number of his colonies, nor can he obtain the best results in the produec- tion of honey and wax unless he has some knowledge of the principles of queer rearing (From tne United States Department of EXPERT TESTING COWS FOR COMMUNITY. Because of the great and obvious | economic advantages arising from the | observations independently of press- ure of work on the individual farm, the owners of dairy cows find it cheap- er and more satisfactory in many cases to have their testing done through the association than to un- dertake to do It themselves. There are now nearly 350 cow-test- ing associations in the United States, 135 having been added during the last | year. These associations have an aggregate membership of 8800 farm- owning approximately 150,000 The cow-testing association | originated in Denmark in 1895 and the first of the organizations in this coun- | try was formed in Michigan in 1906. Because of the value of the associa- | tions to the dairy industry of the country the United States department | of agriculture is stimulating interest ! in them and is assisting farmers in their organization. Bull Associations. ! Another and somewhat similar line | of co-operative work which is being encouraged by the department for the | improvement of dairying and cattle raising is the formation of bull asso- ciations. The function of these or- ganizations is to make available, at | slight expense, the services of pure- bred bulls for the herds of the asso- ciated farmers. It has been found that often the total value of the scrub | bulls owned by farmers is sufficient to supply through a bull association purebred bulls for the herds of all. A number of “blocks” of the associa- tion members are formed and a pure- bred bull placed in each. The bulls | are shifted every two years to pre- ers COWS, vent interbreeding. A considerable proportion of the nearly 22,000,000 cows in the United States are too inferior to produce profitably. Where the bull associa- tions have been formed the grade of the stock has been raised appreciably. | Dairy specialists of the department believe that these associations will be | an important factor in increasing the | quality of dairy cattle throughout the country.

GIVES A MONOLITH TC POPE Evidence of Early Christianity in China Presented to Benedict by New York Woman. After presenting to Pope Benedict a two-ton monolith, the gift of Mrs. George Leary of New York city, Rev. Father George W. Waring, chaplain of the Eleventh cavalry, U. S. A, station- ed at Governor's island, has returned. “The monolith,” he said, “is a repro- duction of a monument erected at Cian-Fu, China, in the seventh century by Nestorian heretics of the Christian faith. The inscriptions 6n the big stone, in Chinese and Assyrian, prove conclusively that Christianity had ob- tained a foothold in China at that early period. The monolith was | brought here by Dr. Fritz Holin, and for cight years it was exhibited at the American Museum of Art. Then it was purchased by Mrs. Leary, in whose behalf I took it to Rome to present it to the pope, who had it set up in the Vatican museun.” So well pleased was the pope with the monolith that he conferred upon Father Waring the cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice and gave to him an auto- graphed photograph.
