CHANGE IN METHODS.
farmers e Necessity of Getting Out
of Old Ruts.
By W. D. Foster, Foreman SUte College Experi
ment Farm, Fullmt..!, Wash. t
An up-to-date farmer nowadays must
study the problems that confront him.
Consequently there must be a moving
out of the old ruts, and the adoption of
improved and new methods.
In the eastern part of Washington
the growing of wheat is an almost ex
clusive farming industry, but I believe
the present state of affairs in this re
spect will in the future become merely
a memory of the past. There will be
changes. The younger generation of
farnvers that is growing up around us
will assuredly adopt different methods.
If I can read the signs of the times
correctly, I believe I can safely pre
dict that the state of Washington will,
in the near future, become a great dairy
state. Even now the farmer who has a
few good cows and "'tends to busi
ness" is never bankrupt. He has in his
possession a certain producer of value.
With milk and butter he can go to
market twice a week, instead of once a
year, and in many respects he is free
from the annoyances that harass the
wheat-growers. But there are some
things he must attend to if he would
uccecd.
Many people there are, indeed, who
would not make even a bare living
handling cows. To use a familiar ex
pression, "They are not built that
way." Nevertheless, it is certainly
true that no matter how the farmer is
built, the cow is built to yield value
quite material in kind.
Lack of pasturage is an objection
to dairying in many parts of eastern
Washington, of course, but where al
falfa or clover will grow this hind
rance can be overcome. And these
two valuable forage plants would grow
in many places where they are
not found at present, if the land
was properly fitted to receive the ed.
On the experiment station farm we
have two fields of clover that have
given splendid returns. Both alfalfa
and clover are valuable for feeding
cows.
Farsighted dairymen now recognize
the fact that there is a better method of
feeding dairy cattle than by pasturing,
especially in regions where land is as
valuable as it is in Washington. Tljis
is by the proper use of soiling crops,
and silos. A very indifferent mathe
matician can figure that one acre of
land well tilled and seeded to some kind
of a soiling crop will equal two a,nd
one-half acres of the best kind of pas
ture land for feeding dairy cows.
Therefore, even if one has enough land
to pasture a large hord of cows, it
would be unwise to do so. Every suc
cessful dairyman wishes his cow to do
the best anil yield the best return pos
sible in consideration of the amount of
feed consumed and care given. The
cow must have favorable surroundings.
She must not be permitted to roam all
day in search of food, even if requiring
only that necessary for a living, aside
from the production of milk. To give
a large amount of milk at night would
be contrary to nature.
The quicker you can get the cow
"filled up," the sooner she will lie
down and masticate lier food. I ven
ture to assert that when milking time
comes, if you have the right kind of a
cow, and are the right kind of a mas
ter, she will not disappoint you.
There are many different kinds of
crops that can be grown for soiling
purposes. Winter rye, oats, barley and
oats mixed, peas and oats, clover, and
vetch are some of them.' A few will
suffice. Care, however, must be taken
not to sow too much at one time, with
the exception of corn. That can be
planted in abundance, because as it ap
proaches maturity it continues to make
good feed.
We have grown at the college farm
two and one-half acres of peas and oats,
which are sown on a north slope, the
steepest, perhaps, on the farm, and from
this plot have harvested five and one
half tons of liay, in additioif to having
pastured on the same plot for five
weeks a small herd of the experimental
farnv cattle. This is an example of
what can be grown on a small tract
carefully tilled.
The farmer who undertakes to man
age a herd of cows under this system
must make ample provisions. One ne
cessity, of course, is a good stable.
This, without elaborate surroundings,
can be built at a moderate cost. It
should be planned in a way which will
enable the farmer to feed ten acres of
good pasture to start off with in the
spring. His intention should bo to use
this ten-acre tract for night pasture
after ho has commenced to feed the
cows in the stable. lie will also need
a mower and a horse rake in the field
to lessen tho labor of cutting and
handling.
For tho purpose of winter dairying,
no up-to-date man would be without a
silo. In this part of the state corn is
past the experimental stage. It always
matures on the college farm. The cows
are fed the year around, and do well,
always having an abundance of silage.
This process, in my opinion, largely
solves the pasture problem'.
Naturally, questions ariso relative to
the expense connected with the feed
ing of soiling crops. Over in Ontario,
which is without doubt a dairy' coun
try, soiling and the silo go hand in
hand. Every farrner there will tell you
that it would not be possible to keep
up the flow of milk in 'his herd without
resorting to these methods. If the silo
and soiling crops are necessary In a
country where, as a rule, they have
plenty of rainfall, how much greater is
the necessity for their use in parts of
the Pacific Northwest where rainfall is
not always sufficient?
The time is at hand when a radical
change of methods in farming is neces
sary. Especially iz this true in the
case of the rancher who does not own,

a large acreage, since he cannot grow
wheat enough to make more than a bare
living. The dairy cow opens the way
to a more lucrative pursuit. Trained
effort, however, is required to handle
this opportunity to the best advantage,
and there must be concentrated and
conscientious effort on the part of the
dairyman and every member of hi"
household.
It is not my intention to say what,
kind. of a cow is the best for dairy
purposes. That is a problem which
dairymen should decide for themselves,
but, as a rule, the cow to keep is the
one which you fancy most and is best
suited to the surroundings you have to
offer. Pedigree will not make a cow
give milk, but pure-bred sires ar nec
essary in order to have high class
grades. Therefore, it is necessary to
keep a pure-bred sire at the head of
the herd and also to be very careful in
the matter of selection.
Insist that the sanitary conditions
around your stable are the best pos
sible. Be prompt at milking time. Give
the herd the best of care in the matter
of feed, salt and water. Keep the cowg
clean, and permit no one to use rough
methods or use obscene language in your
cow barn. Have a great big heart for
your "job." Your work must be done
right; and assuredly, the farmer who is
willing to adapt himself to the require
ments demanded by the country will be
a successful dairyman.
PRUNING TREES..
Professor Thornber Tells How to
Procure Best Results.
From Washington State College. Pullman.
In response to an inquiry from Sher
lock, Professor W. A. Thornber gave
the following discussion of pruning:
"When trees produce too much
wood, and not enough fruit, or no fruit
at all, it is well to prune them very
severely in the Bummer time, say
about June; also cut them back at
that time. This is to give the trees a
check, and make them produce fruit
buds, rather than wood. Here at the
station, in the case of young trees, we
do considerable early spring, or winter
pruning, in order to make the trees
produce large quantities of wood. We
are thoroughly convinced that it is
well for a young tree to produce large
quantities of wood, even though you
have to cut it out the following spring.
This extra growth gives a splendid
root development, and this is necessary
before you can secure a good tree. In
the case of trees that have been graft
ed, I would recommend that you re
move the suckers just as fast as the
scions seem, able to take care of the
entire food supply. In cases where
the tree is a very rank grower, I fre
quently leave a few suckers around the
graft, so that the graft may become
hardened, and not make such a soft
growth.
"Another good plan, at times feas
ible, is to keep an orchard in grass,'
and check the growth somewhat in
that way. The western soils and an
excess of moisture are very conducive
to a heavy growth of wood ; therefore
it is somewhat advisable to grow grass
in the orchard, with the idea of check
ing the growth in this way. Some of
our most successful applegrowers west
of the Cascades, make a practice of
growing grass in their orchards to pre
vent the growth. The station does
not advise you to make use of any
kind of fertilizer whatever. A small
amount of potash would serve the pur
pose to make the trees more fruitful,
but under no conditions do we advise
the use of barnyard manure, or nitro
gen, since this would only exhilarate
the growth. In your locality, I think
you could grow the Gravenstein, North
ern Spy, Rhode Island Greening, Jona
than, and probably the Golden Russets
very successfully. The station now
has specimens of these apples from
your locality, and they certainly show
up well."
A farmer residing near Larane in
quired about the "common sorrel."
Professor Beattie replied:
"This is not an extremely serious
weed, although sometimes it does dam
age. If the sorrel has a tendency to
choke out the crop, it is an indication
that the ' land is rather deficient in
available plant food. You could im
prove the condition of your region by
growing some crop of alfalfa, clover,
vetch or peas, and plow such crops un
der, as this would put humus in the
soil, and improve its condition. On
the West side, this weed is very abund
ant in the worn-out soils, and the farm
ers find -it desirable to 'lime' the soil,
to make more available plant food."

wears. The hats are made of the same
material as the ordinary black derby.
Instead of a ribbon bow on the band
a buckle clasps It. Several people who
