Bermuda grows best on sandy loam

But it does well on almost any type
ot soil. About the most practical wa>
to plant it is to make furrows six
inches deep and two to three feel
apart, using a single shovel plow.
Drop pieces of the sod or roots every
18 inches to two feet and cover with

Condensed milk opens a great field
for the dairymen. At present the
processing of condensed milk falls far
short of perfection. Swells and thicks
are serious obstacles to the complete
success of the business. Experience
and skill, however, are lessening these
difficulties. There is every reason to
expect that in the near future ex-
periment stations will bring their
scientific skill to bear upon this sub-
ject to settle and obviate these diffi-
culties. Condensed milk will then be
a commodity that can be shipped to
any part of the world. When the
problem of successful condensation
has been solved, condensed milk will
be the most prominent dairy product.
The development of the condensed
milk branch of the dairy industry will
give dairying an impetus such as it
has never previously received.
Most of the States have established
Agricultural Colleges, where an op-
portunity is offered, tuition free, to
young men who desire to qualify them-
selves in the art of butter making, in
the underlying sciences and in other
branches of agriculture. Every student
•who goes from one of these institu-
tions at once becomes an object lesson
for others engaged in the same busi-
ness. Farmers' Institutes are doing
a great work in the matter of agri-
cultural education. Information as to
dairying is being rapidly and sys-
tematically disseminated. Dairy 'n-
terests are being advanced accord-
ingly, and every enterprising farmer
Is awakening to the fact that ho must
keep up with the procession, if he ex-
pects to compete with others in the
same business.
Breeding and feeding have taken
rapid strides in advancement in the
last ten years. Methods of preserving
succulent foods for winter U3e have
become so nearly perfected I hat win-
ter-made butter possesses all the deli
cacy of flavor that summer-made but-
ter does. Silage produced at a cost
not exceeding $1.25 a ton affords a
cheap feed for use in winter da:rking,
greatly Increasing the average of profit
for the year. Alfalfa and other forage
plants increase the amount of milk ard
butter. The modern cow is a highly
developed machine capable of convert-
ing feed into milk for immediate con-
sumption or for the making of butter,
cheese, and other products, at a cost
much less than was possible in former
limes.
The additional cost of feeding neces-
sary to make the difference can be
made with the price of sixty pounds
of butter. A decade ago the terms
proten, carbohydrates, dry water, etc.,
were unknown to the average dairy-
man. It was common to find a mpn
who was feeding one element in ex-
cess of what the cow needed, and let-
ting her starve for want of enough of
another, to the great loss of both but-
ter fat and feed. Improvement 111 the
method of breeding and feeding are
being made such as were never
dreamed of by the dairymen of SO
years ago. This improvement will
continue until in the near future, the
poorly conducted dairy will be even
rarer than it Is now. In material
advancement dairying has kept pace
with the other great Industries of the
country. Cost of production has been
greatly reduced by the introduction of
scientific methods of feeding, careful
breeding, and improved processes of
manufacture. The resulting product
averages as good as the best of a
decade ago. The advance in the price
of prime butter is a special induce-
ment for every man in the business to
push to the front.
Th milking machine will be an Im-
portant factor in future dairying.
if possible. It is a much better method
to get the roots from some neighbor
if they can be secured tbit way. If
not, the station will gladly send
enough so that those ordering same
may grow enough for future plantings.
Shipments are made from May 1st on.
Eradicating Bermuda Grass
Plant Bermuda on rough land for
permanent pasture. It Is not well to
grow it on rotation fields or rich al-
falfa bottom lands. However, if one
wishes to plant it on such lands it
is not difficult to eradicate it in the
northern part of the state. This may
easily be accomplished by plowing in
winter deep enough to expose roots
to frost; disc thoroughly and sow to
grain or some other cover crop in the
spring. Shading of the ground early
keeps roots that may not have been
killed by frost from coming again.
Alfalfa
Alfalfa, "the best forage" as its
name implies, is as old as the hills,
having been found growing wild by
the ancients. It has grown success-
fully in the United States since 1793.
it yields from two to six cuttngs a
year, four to eight tons of hay per
acre. The seed will yield four to six
bushels per acre If it is taken from
the second of third crop. It sells at
eight to ten dollars per bushel. Be-
cause of its high percentage of that
flesh and bone building material, pro-
tein, it is regarded as the peer of even
bran or cotton seed cake and is the
marvel of the forage crop world; and
yet, thousands of Oklahoma farmers
do not realize it. It can be grown on

It is seldom necessary to inoculate
