Every precaution should be taken to give the cow about to freshen the
JObt cleanly and sanitary surrounding, according to Bulletin 149 of the
Agricultural Experiment Station. It say a that the cow should be allowed
to calve in a clean, freshly bedded stall, or better yet In mild weather, In
tbe pasture. It is essential that surroundings be clean in order to avoid in
fection of the freshly severed navel cord. The cow will be in better physic
al condition and will yield more milk if Bhe is dried up about six weeks be
fore calving time than she would if milked up to time of calving.
EARLY OATS YIELD MOST
Early oats yielded on an average of 14 bushels more an acre than the late
oats in a test of 20 varieties at the Agricultural Experiment Station at Lin
coln. The early varieties which ripened July 11, on the average, yielded
63.9 bushels, while those that ripened July 20 produced about 40.1 bushels.
Kberaon, Burt and Texas Red are among the early varieties that proved
best. Among the liite varieties, the Lincoln oats have given the best re
sults. About eight pecks an acre gives the best results when Kherson oats are
drilled and about ten pecks an ucre when they are sown broadcast. Varie
ties with larger grains require a correspondingly heavier rate of seeding.

The most effective method of exterminating prairie dogs is by poison
lag, according to results of experiments conducted by the Agricultural Ex
periment Station. The work begun in the early fall or winter can be effect
ively continued in the spring up to the time green food becomes available.
The most practical formula suggested by the Experiment Station is one
composed of one ounce of powdered strychnia sulfate or strychnine alka
loid, one-half teacup of laundry or gloss starch, and one teaspoonful of sac
charine in one quart of boiling water. Dissolve the strychnine, starch, and
saccharine in the boiling water. I'our tbe solution over 12 quarts of grain
(preferably wheat) which is held in a tight, clean vessel, such as a galvan-Ised-iron
tub. Stir the mixture very thoroly until every grain receives a
thoro coating. Then spread the grain out to dry.
The cost of such treatment is approximately five to eight cents an acre.

about fifty, and to about the sanies
number at the- smoker held in the
' ity hall in the evening.
The- first matter taken up at the

mined irom an extended westera
trip, old of lemons learned from the
trip. He emphasized the fact thaX
tie- cities of the western coast are
living much attention to the beauti
fying of homes and cities. He als
stated that the crying need of the
western country, from Alliance to the
coast, seemed to be a demand for
more people to develop the country
and to establish new industries for
which there is room and a demand.
He tiivc an interesting description of
Phoenix, Arizona, and its surround
ings, lie expressed the opinion that
Alliance should have paved streets
and that an addition of two thousand
more people to the population would
double ii-mI estate values.
The epuestion of bringing in trees
for distribution was brought up and
