hour. He advised cultivating them
the same as corn once a week, and
going over it with a hoe to kill the
weeds before they came through the
ground. Growers should not be too
hasty to cover them in the fall, often
waiting as late as January, or until
ground is frozen quite hard. Let
the snow pile foot deep on them if
it will, and then cover with wheat
or oat straw 8 to IL inches thick. In
the spring do not remove until the
plants show determination to
grow up through then rake up the
straw in ridges between the rows,
but take off just enough so that
plants can get through, leaving
straw enough to protect the berry
pickers from the dirt at picking
time, and also keep the ground
moist, the latter giving you berries
two weeks later than plants other
wise treated After the berries are
all picked, NOW plants down close
to the ground, following with hay
rake, making clean job of the
patch, and then pillow along the rows
SO that the ground will be loose and
the plants come out right the follow
ing spring. Prof. Robertson, in an
swer to query, said that he had an
old bed of plants, four years old,
which was still bearing as many
berries as any new bed. On his
tract of less than quarter of an
acre he gathered 1900 quarts last
year, while on single row of Cres-
cents he picked 40 quarts in one
day.
Prof. Andrew Boss followed, on
the dressing and curing of meats,
and his talk should have been heard
by every farmer in the county. He
is an expert in the line. Starting
out, he said it was necessary to have
the animal properly fed and healthy
before the killing, in order to get
wholesome meat. The slaughterlr @
should be without excitement and
when the animal is not overheated.

FARMERS CLUB MEETING
PrOfs Robertson and Boss Talk on Straw

and Curing Meats.
Mrs. Blair and Prof. LOring Talk on Sub
jectS Close to the Hearts of
Live People.

The Farmers Club of Redwood
county, with Fay Shaver as presi-
dent, pulled off an interesting pro-
gram at the court house last Thurs
day morning, Afternoon and evening.
The only regret is, that there we're
not more Of the farmers, especially
the young fellows, present. The
meeting simply demonstrated that
farming is profession, as much as
law, medicine, or any other old
thing, and a great deal more impor-
tant in it's elements than is mer-
chandising of general character.
The meeting was called for open
ing at 1870 o'clock that morning,
but the attendance at that hour was
little more than a cipher. Along
toward II 30 o'clock, however, about
80 men and women had gathered in
the hall, and inasmuch as Profs.
Robertson and Boss, two of the lead
ing professors at St. Anthony ex-
perimental station, were obliged to
leave at 1915 to make a northern
town and attend to class work,
President Fay Shaver opened the
meeting, welcoming those present,
and introducing Prof. Robertson,
who in a Is minute talk gave some
good ideas on the growth of straw
berries. He stated that it was no
more difficult to raise them than
corn-the same soil being required
for either, He advised using the
Crescents, Warields, Beederwoods,
Splendids and Lovetts, and cut out
all other varieties for Minnesota
use. BY the help of his wife, and
using a spade to sink in the ground,
he had set out zoo plants in half an

cured, there is every likelihood Of
it spelling in the brine.
Animals suffering from fever sores
or broken legs for two or three days
before killing, are not fit subjects
for food. Avoid using them, al
though an animal with broken leg
or suffering violent death may be
used if bled and dressed at once.
In the preparation for Strengthening
and curing no elaborate equipment
is needed. Proper tools for rapid
execution should be on hand. Con-
veniences for handling and cooling
the carcass is essential for good
product. Provision should always
be made for hanging up carcasses
for removing entails, as heater
work can be done. The thorough
bleeding of an animal is necessary
for good meat, and for this reason
the veins should be we'll opened, as
a large flow of blood siphons out
the entire circulatory system, while
slow bleeding retains a large por-
tion of the blood, which is easily
decomposed in the fresh meat or
curing process. The work of bleed
ing aud dressing should be rapid,
as much of the unpleasant taste of
meat arises in the degeneration of
the stomach of the animal after
slaughter. In ordinary process
three hours or half a ssday is used,
and this gives ample time for the
penetration of gases in the tissues
of the flesh. All blood and dirt
should be removed from the carcass,
which should be left dry. Other
wise, slime will start and is objcc-
tionable in the curing process. The
meat should be properly cooled and
allowed to set before the carcass is
cut up, "a or 36 hours being suffi-
cient with a temperature of 40 de-
grees or less. It is not desirable
to have the surface frozen after kill
ing, as this causes sour meat
Freezing after cooling is not objec
tionable, but the meat should not be
allowed to freeze and thaw repeated
ly.
Meat thus properly cooled is in
proper shape for curing. Salt, salt

action Of Private Anderson. who brave

the burly negro showed a 44-caliber
Colts revolver in Edgers face and en-
deavored to discharge it. Despite his
own danger, Anderson probably saved
the life of the lieutenant by his timely
assistance. Unarmed. he grappled with
Edger's assailant and succeeded in pre-
venting him from carrying out his muir
