L Luther, Superintendent Wiscon sin Farmers’ Institutes. Wisconsin’s greatest agricultural industry is dairying. This means that crops are grown not so much for di rect sale as for feed to be used tat the production of milk. Feeding, therefore, is a subject for study on the part of the farmer for It is the thing that not only moans success or failure in the production of milk, but is at the bottom of successful crop ping systems on dairy farms. Assuming a 1,200-pound cow, giv ing 30 pounds of 3.5 per cent. milk, let us arrange four rations: Ration No. 1—Timothy hay, 10 pounds; corn silage, 36 pounds; ground corn, 4 pounds; wheat bran, 2.5 pounds; oil meal, 3.25 pounds. Ration No. 2—Clover hay, 10 pounds: corn silage, 36 pounds; ground corn, 5.5 pounds; oil meal, 1.5 pounds. Ration No. 3—Soybean hay, 12 pounds; corn silage, 36 pounds; ground corn, 4 pounds; ground oats, 4.5 pounds. Ration No. 4—Alfalfa hay, 12 pounds; corn silage, 36 pounds; ground corn, 4 pounds; ground oats, 4.5 pounds. Timothy Hay Ration. The majority of dairy farmers in Wisconsin grew corn, and timothy for hay is surest and most easily grown; but look! The ration which has 10 pounds of timothy hay in it has to have 2.5 pounds of bran and 3.25 pounds of oil meal added to make it a satisfactory ration in respect to protein, and in Wisconsin these are purchased and cost a lot. Their use at .times is almost prohibitive. This ration is low in lime, which is prob ably its greatest drawback and is rather wide having a nutritive ratio of 1:7.2. Feeding this ration for sev en months, 2)0 days, will require 625 pounds, a quarter of a ton. of bran, and 682.5 pounds, a third of a ton, of oil meal. Assuming bran at J20 a ton and oil meal at $30 a ton, it will mean a money layout of $5 for bran and $10 for oil meal for each cow in the herd. You see, then .that this tim othy hay business will cost the dairy farmer who owns a herd of 20 cows around $300 for bran and oil meal. IF he does not have the money or thinks he cannot afford these feeds, you know what happens. His dairy busi ness runs down and becomes unprofit able. Further, as stated above, this ration is low in lime, and Its contin ued use will lead to a falling off in milk flow. Clover Hay Ration. Many farmers are successful grow ers of clover. Let us see what will happen in Ration No. 2 by using clov er hay instead of timothy hay. Ah, wheat bran is not used and only 1.5 pounds of oil meal. This ration is considerably higher in lime, due to the clover hay which carries around 32 pounds to the ton while timothy hay carries only about 8 pounds to the ton. This ration is rather wide, having a nutritive ratio of 1:7.3. The clover hay dairy farmer will only have to buy 315 pounds of oil meal, less than one-seventh of a ton for each cow, and spend around $80 on his 20 cows. By growing clover instead of timothy, the timothy hay dairy farm er can save a money expense of $200 a year if he has 20 cows. There are the taxes saved. So you see the timothy hay farmer ought pretty nearly to dispense with longer depending on timothy hay and learn how to make suro of a clover crop. Prof. Griffith Richards, Soils Specialist in the College of Agricul ture for Southern Wisconsin, has made extensive observations of clov er successes and failures on farms. Let us see what he has to say about growing clover: For Success With Clover. “Some Wisconsin farmers are now beginning to admit they cannot grow the wonderful clover crops that were so commonly grown each year 30 or 40 years ago. To be sure, it is im possible to put one’s finger on any one thing and say it alone is respon sible for the recent failures of clover; in fact there are a great many fac tors, some or all of which cause clov er failures. “All necessary conditions favorable for the clover crop may be present but If drainage is lacking the clover crop is doomed to failure. Land may have sufficient drainage for a dry sea son but during a wet season the clover plants have ‘fet feet’ and in the spring ice sheets form that exclude the air and cause the death of clover plants. Land must have enough natural drainage in order to provide ideal drainage conditions for the clover plant during the wettest seasons. Many clover failures may be traced to poor drainage conditions; therefore excellent drainage should be provided as the first insurance premium against clover failures. “The clover plant loves lime. Its plant body contains lime. When two tons of clover hay are hauled oqff an acre of land 70 pounds of lime are actually taken out of the soil and hauled away. Virgin Wisconsin soils contained large quantities of lime. This lime has been depleted by crop ping and by being leached out in drainage waters. About 85 per cent, of Wisconsin soils need lime for the clover crop and these soils should re ceive from two to three tons of lime stone per acre to correct the acidity and to supply the lime neded by the clover plants. The farmer who falls to grow clov er cannot feed much live stock and the lack of live stock cuts down the available supply of barnyard manure. Clover is a nitrogen gathering plant but It grows best on a soil that Is fairly well supplied with manure. Barnyard manure supplies to the soil the three plant food elements of nltro J. D. Hanson, settler near BemldJI, Minn., has excited national interest be cause of his feat of churlng 20 acres of his 160-acre tract of brush land that he bought last year, besides digging a well, working for wages 40 days, cul tivating a large garden, raising his own provender, and cooking It. This feat, remarkable in Itself. Is made more so by the fact that Hanson has only one thumb. Whore his right hand ought to be Is a hook. He has the axhandle bored so that he can slip the .’look through a hole. Only the thumb re mains on his left hand. His Injuries were received when dynamiting for a blasting company several years ago. '*■3®, phosphorus, and potassium that are needed by the clover plant and it also Improves the physical condition of the soil so the clover plants will have a favorable place to develop. Farmers who fall to grow' clover year after year should apply manure for the small grain crop In which the clover Is seeded. The practice of ap plying a light top dressing of mi inure to new clover seeiffngs in the fall Is also a very good one. “The clover plant needs a larg amount of phosphorus. Farm man ures may be rather low In phosphorus. Phosphorus may be purchased In ths form of 16 per cent, acid phosphate On 24 experimental fields on farms In southern Wisconsin the application of 375 pounds of 16 per cent, acid phos phate to land which was sown to aimall grains and seeded to clover Increased the clover crop 25 per cent. This p&ld. There Is not much question but that it would be good farm practice to%p ply acid phosphate at the time that clover It seeded." BULL ASSOCIATIONS IN MINN* S. R. Winters, Washington, D. C. The Beltrami County Guernsey Bull Association Is the germ of co-opera tive effort, recently crystallized Into working shape, that is calculated to concentrate the attention of residents of this community upon the advan tages of dairying. Joel Wlnkjer, who directs the activities of the Dafry Di vision In the formation of co-opera uve null associations, recently re turned from a trip over portions of Minnesota for the purpose of examin ing the progress of this form of ex tension service and to further stimu late the enthusiasm for the movement. He visited the headquarters of the Beltrami County organization, located at Bemldjl, named after an Indian chief of that designation, and which unit of mutual help Mr. Winkjer was instrumental in forming. It is located in northern Minnesota in a cut-over region, where the settlers are unable to acquire individual ownership of pure bred sires. An organization consisting of a membership of 25 individuals, poolfng their interests, acquired four pure bred bulls. The Investment represent ed a financial outlay of $500, with an additional $71 necessary to bear trans portation charges and other Incidental expenses. The four blocks forming the association shared the aggregate cost of $571, or an assessment of $142.75 for each block. Individually, each of the 25 members, was drawn upon for payment of the sum of $22.84, inconsiderable compared with the ben efits to be derived. One block of the Beltrami County Guerpsey Bull Asso ciation, in a corn husking fashion, pooled their labor, and in one and one half days built a fence for quartering the bulls. The actual money invest ed consisted of the negligible sum of 85 cents, which represented the cost of the nails necessary to build the fence. Beltrami county is admirarly adapt ed to the growth of, clover and the perpetuation of dairying. The com bination is a formidable one, and the present activities of this section are decidedly in that direction. In 1921, the total cleared land was approxi mately 30,000 square miles. Thanks to the distribution of picric acid by the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agri culture, another 20,000 square miles of land have been added to the cleared acreage within 12 months. A banker in this county, subscribing to his faith in the co-operative bull association movement in concrete terms, offered to loan farmers on their notes, with out Interest, money with which to pur chase pure bred bulls. If, at the enf of 12 months. Justifiable reasons are advanced by the farmer for his in ability to cancel the obligation to the bank, the contract is renewable for another 12 months. The banker does not collect interest on the loan even i under this liberal condition, i Fitting, indeed, was it that on this trip through Beltrami county, where "new ground” is being broken in the realization of the benefits of co-oper ative bull associations, Mr. Winkjer should visit another county in Minne sota where the idea has long been in trenched. Thus the fruits of the movement are brought Into review as an example for the newly formed or ganization to follow in the footsteps or a blazed pathway. Reference is made to the Douglas County Guern sey Bull Association, an organization that Is a dozen years old—being one of the first units of its kind formed j in the United States. The economy as well as the foresight of the co operative bull association Is to be found in this organization. During the 12 years of its existence no mem ber has invested as much as 060 for the purchase of pure bred sires—$55 has been the individual assessmen for this long period of time. Eight blocs are in the association, and the average cost of each bull is $150. Since the size of the average herd | of dairy cows of members enlisted in the Douglas County Guernsey Bull Association is 10 cows, each dairy man enjoying the benefits of a pure bred sire pays only about 50 cents per cow each year. Mr. Minkjer makes the observation that in traveling through this section of central Min nesota one can almost invariably de termine the membership in this or ganization of mutual help—the cows are of the Guernsey breed and are upstanding animals. Farmers and dairymen not participating in the benefits of the bull association may also be identified—their herds are a motley aggregation of cows where breeding methods make for a mixed aggregation of animals, both In color and quality. Twelve years ago, be fore the Inception of the Douglas County Guernsey Bull Association, 1 this bit of description would have been applicable to the entire bovine population of this central Minnesota country. king of Portugal, dies of pneumonia in New York. He had a little house in Tuxedo, a little house in Newport, a little flat up town, a little partner^, ship in the office of an insurance broker, and some American chillren called “princes.” That is less exciting than sending your ships out after the Spanish shipa of Columbus or having the whole world divided with “a straight Mne” betweAi you and another monarch. The life of royalty today is as unread as the life of a royal Bengal tiger la th# soo. ‘ I STOCKHOIDERW SUE SKINNER CO.

(U. P.)— Whether Oklahoma will execute Kllas Ridge, 14, negro, will be decided within a few days. The case of this boy, said to be the youngest person to be sentenced to death In Oklahoma and perhups In the United States In the 20th century, Is before the state court of crtmiuul appeals. Ridge’s sentence to be electrocuted aroused a storm of protest from all parts of the state, because of the boy's youth. Several state and na tional organizations sent informal protests to Gov. J. B. A. Robertson, urging commutation. Robertson failed to act. The execution, first set for Novem ber 17, was stopped by an order from the state court of criminal appeals, that a thorough Investigation might be made. The boy confessed to the murder of Mrs. George Adair, white. The broth erinlaw insulted Mrs. Adair and was afraid she would tell the Ku KIux Klan, according to Ridge. He agreed to kill the woman, he said, and was to have been given a pig for the act. MITCHELL PREPARES FOR BIG AUTO SHOW Mitchell, S. D., Feb. J (Special).— Mitchell’s 1923 automobile show is expected to be the biggest show of Its kind ever staged in the statp. Members of the local dealers’ associa tion have recently called on a num ber of eastern manufacturers and have been promised factory exhibits for the show. The exposition will be staged In the corrf palace, which has the largest display space of any building in the state. It has been de cided that this year no trucks or tractors will be permitted on the main floor of the building. The gal leries will be used for accessory ex hibits. Elaborate preparations are being mudo for the decoration of tho big building for the show, the dates for which have beer, fixed for April 20 and 21. —4— ABILITY TO READ MAY BE MEASURED Mitchell, S. D., Feb. . (Special).— Dr. E. K. Hillbrand, head of the de partment of education at Dakota Wesleyan university, has received word that an eastern publishing com pany is soon to publish a scale for measuring ability in sight reading in the public schools, which Dr. Hill brand has just perfected. The scale is for use in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades and is a practical out come of Dr. Hlllbrand’s work for his doctor’s degree, which he received last summer at Chicago university. The field of educational tests is practically a new one and Dr. Hill brand's test is the first to be pub lished in the field of music. He ha? completed an exhaustive study o.' music and methods of measuring ability of pupils, and in addition has recently written several articles, which have found favor in education al magazines, on the general subject of education.

No trustworthy immigration records wore kept In the early history of the republic. From 1783 it is estimated that the number of Immigrants to this country was about 4,000 a year until 1794, when the number was increased to 10,000. Then It dropped to about 6.000 until 1800, when It was reduced to practically nothing for the succeed ing ten yenrs. In 1816 It was about 8.000 and the next year 22,240. From October 1, 1819, a record has been kept, but up until 1856 It Included all “alien passengers arrived” and did not distinguish between Immigrants and passengers, nor did It Include Im migration overland from Canada and Mexico. This record, which Is Inac curate as explained, shows a total of 33,630,104 front the year ending Sej> tember 30, 1820, to the year ending June 30, 1920. The largest Immigra tion In any one year was 1,285,349 for the fiscal year 1907. Some Definitions. A golfer is a man who wears knee pants and seldom works after 2 p. m. in the summer.
