Thuredity, March 5 ? 1911. THE INLAND EMPIRE. PAGE THREE r• mete tittutiftlevff RES11944114 iftj Climatic Conitions. of Winter Easier Controlled. NOT WEATHER IS UNDESIRABLE Will cows that freshen in fall yield More milk than those freshening in spring? This question the writer or any other person cannot answer and have the answer correct in different local- ities and under different conditions. In Montana, and probably in other Western states, the writer feels safe in making the statement that a cow freshening in the fall will give more milk than the same or a similar cow will give when freshening in the spring. This statement may be somewhat ot a surprise to some of the readers, as many consider the Northwest un- favorable for dairy farming, due to the long and rather hard winters. A stage in farming progress has been reached when winter climatic conditions can better be controlled thee can summer conditions. It is easier and cheaper to protect a dairy cow from excessive cold than it is to protect her from excessive heat. Hot weather is undesirable for cows, but worst of all is that such weather is accompanied with cow pests of va- rious kinds, such as flies in the day time and mosquitoes at night. In the writer's experience there is noth- ing so effective in drying a cow as hot weather, plue flies and mosqui- toes. True it is that we now have fly ,repelling preparations that can be sprayed on the cows and in that way alleviate the cows from flies during milking time and in part during the day. The writer has yet to find a sub- stance Which will keep the flies away over about an hour after it has been put on. These fly repellers are quite effective and practical to use on the cows in the barn just previous to milking, but they are less effective and practical for keeping the flies off during the whole day in the pas- ture. As to mosquito repellers the writer has found nothing that can be used at a reasonable cost. In addition many pastures are short of good feed during a large part of the summer. This, of course, can be overcome by supplementing with silage or some soiling crop. Under average dairy farm conditions this latter is not practiced. The dairy farmers of the Northwest are extremely busy with their crops during the summer months. There is a strong temptation to neglect their cows during this part of the year. Every dairyman knows what this means when milking time comes' It means less milk. The writer is fully aware that a cow freshening in the . spring will yield a maximum amount of milk during the spring months when pas- tures are green, weather favorable and no mosquitoes and flies to trouble the cows. These conditions are, how- ever, of short duration. When the unfavorable summer conditions come on the cow drops off in her milk flow. When a cow once has dropped in milk it is difficult to get her back to her normal flow. The final resplt Is that the annual mil,k flow from a spring cow is less than when she freihens in the fall. Heavy Horses Pay Well. The breeding of heavy draft horses is always profitable, and it greatly adds to the farmer's income. Small, scrubby herses are not wanted, and the mares for breeding should be large and well built. The demand is for a draft horse of not less than 1,500 pounds.

The time of digging is one of the best times for sorting po- tatoes. Producers of tubers may be divided into two classes: (1) Potato breed- ers; (2) potato'growers. No doubt potato breeders have al- ready been giving attention to the se- lection of the hills highest in tuber production for the present season. These hills will be depended upon by them for selected seed with which to continue breeding work next spring. The practical potato' grower should at least give attention to sorting out a sufficient quantity of well typed a .:.: .. ..,( .,. .,..., a .. '• ; :.r a akaaa aa , ' ; • .''.

Such a syStern of reserving seed, if persisted in by all potato growers of any state, will apparently greatly_ ad- vance not only the yield per acre but also the type of the tubers produced. The agronomy department in 1912 found that large tubers cut into fear pieces and used for seed produced from 20 to 28 per cent greater yield than small tubers also cut into four pieces and used for seed.

It -doss not need a winter mulch to keep it from being kilted by freezing, but it plys to put on three or four inches of coarse manure because it Will re- sult in asparagus eight or ten days earlier next spring and better stalks Ais well.
