Minneota Mascot: We have often
had occasion to note instances OF
killing off sheep by vicious dogs but
never has there come to our notice
such wholesale slaughter as that
reported from the farm of V. En-
gels of Westerheim. Mr.. Engels has
quite a large flock of sheep which
he is feeding and getting ready for
market. One morning this week he
awoke to find 100 of these killed
outright and about 200 so severely
injured that many of them will not
recover. The total damage has been
placed at $500. These sheep were
killed by dogs, in fact, Mr.. Engels,
we understand. thinks that the deed
is the work Of but one dog GER
tain bull dog which has been known
to frequent the premises.
Milroy Echo: The ditching outfits
that have been operating in this
section this faI, have left for their
respective homes, near and at Hec-
tor. They remained here week or
so, hoping that the weather would
soften up; but the frost got too
deep to work. They will do con-
siderable work near this place in
the spring. Monday morning the
Mead boys, who have been operat-
ing a threshing outfit west of town,
met with a serious accident that will
end their work for this fall They
have been bothered with leaky fues,
and Saturday they repaired them and
Sunday filled their boiler ready for
work next morning. The fireman
started the usual fire about 5 o'clock
and soon had things pretty we'll
warmed up, when investigation
showed that there was no water in
the boiler, and the crown sheet and
f1ues were all melted out, rendering
the boiler useless.

face the name of the state and city
in which the postoffice is situated.
The chief reason for this innovation
is said, at the postoffice department,
to be the belief that it will help to
do away with the big postoffice rob-
berries and make it much easier to
trace criminals. The postoffice rob-
berry in Chicago, a few years ago, is
a good example of the ease with
which stolen stamps can be disposed
of, for no trace of the perpetrators
was ever discovered, altho nearly
100000 worth of stamps were
stolen and these mostly OF small
denominations. Another reason for
the change is to enable the postoffice
department to determine the amount
Of business done by the different
postofices and prevent padding,
thru stamps sold at some Offices to
residents who do business in adjoin-
ing cities.

AROUND THE COUNTY.

Dairy Commissioner Slater throws
out a word of caution to the farmers
who sell bad eggs. He says our laws
make it misdemeanor to sell spoiled
food Of almost any other sort, in
Guiding butter, milk and cream. Then
why should it not be illegal to sell
bad eg gs?''
The railroad and warehouse COM
mission has decided that Geiwitz &
Co. of Minneota are entitled to a
side track for it's newly built ware
house and the railroad company has
been notified to construct and COM
plete within thirty days a suitable
track answering this purpose. The
local firm will have to put up half of
the cost of construction but this
amount will be paid back to it by
the railroad company, at the rate of
a certain per cent. on the business
done each year.
1t is with feeling of regret that
we are called upon to chronicle the
death of an old friend and neighbor
Henry Evans at his home at Red
Deer, Alberta, Canada, on the 18th
of this month, says the SanDorn
Sentinel. Mr.. Evans had been in
poor health for nearly a year, and
his advanced age helped to under
mine his once iron constitution. He
located in Redwood county when it
was in its infancy, and fought the
battles of the pioneer bravely until
about five years ago, when he re-
moved to Alberta to again take up
pioneer life and establish himself
home in then almost new country.
He was nearly seventy-seven years
of age at the time of his death and
was very well preserved when he
left Minnesota. He leaves a large
family of children to mourn his
death.
The Lakefeld Standard, published
at Lakefeld, Jackson county, and
one of the leading country weekly
papers of the state, does not like the
primary election law, and urges its
repeal entirely by the next session
of the legislature The Standard
gives this reason for its wish: ct
offers no inducement to men of
character whose business and execu-
tive ability have made them success
full in other lines. Such man must
have a high sense of public duty
before he will turn his back upon his
other interests, and. without tan
gible support of any kind, pay ten
dollars for the privilege of entering
campaign against any number of
professional office seekers who may
choose to run against him. The
campaign is long and expensive, the
number of candidates increase up to
the last day upon which filings may
be made, and with so many candi-
dates in the field, the result is moth
ing more than a game of chance.
This sort of campaign deters con-
sentative men from becoming candi-
dates, and the field is left for the
professional politician andithe chron-
ic office seeker. If we wish to in
duce good men to become candidates
for office we must devise some other
system of nomination.

Dairy Talk of Today

The best cows do not always have the
largest udders. Often udders are de-
ceptive. Scales and the Babcock test
is the surest way to determine your
most profitable cows.
Test Associations.
It Is important to know the yearly
yield of every COW in the herd and
whether she is paying or not if the
best results are wished for. To this
end test associations are being formed
in some parts of the country to work
out the problem of herd improvement.
just Before Milking.
There are two very practical meth
DDS of reducing the amount of hair,
dust and filth that ordinarily falls into
the milk By giving the TANKS of the
animal and the udder a good washing
and then wiping dry just before milk
ing: the other, and probably the most
satisfactory method, is to wipe the I'D
der and adjacent parts with a damp
cloth.
Stable Bacteria.
At Corsell Agricultural college some
of the trained scientific men engaged
there undertook the study of stable
bacteria and now fast they will multi
ply. A hair from a cows flank was
put into 500 cubic centimeters of steril-
lied milk. After shaking it for a
minute there were fifty-two bacteria
per cubic centimeter; after twenty-four
hours it contained $1,000 per cubic
centimeter A cubic centimeter of milk
is very small quantity, only a few
drops, and is expressed in abreviation
by the letters c. G.. Another expert
ment was made in which a piece of
hay taken from the stable floor about
two inches long was placed in 500 cubic
centimeters of sterilized milk The milk
was shaken one minute and then con-
tanned 3,O25; after twenty-four hours it
contained 3.412,OOO bacteria per cubic
centimeter. Now, it is these bacteria

son informed him that he was to pitch
hay in the afternoon
Il won't do itp' was the curt reply.
