is the tlird time the extension question

with strenuous opposition.
President Kinnan, as chairman Of the
committee on extension. stated that
most of the opposition was due 10 the
fact that the citizens believed IL would

| TREAT YOUR OATS FOR SMUT.
1t is time that seed oats were
selected and made ready for plant
ing. They should be run through
good tanning mill and all small
and light kernels and every weed
seed famed out. This being done
you are ready to treat for smut.
All of our readers know loose smut
whether of wheat or oats. All may
not know that it is introduced in
the seed; that the loose smut of
the year before blown from adjoin-
ing fields or carried by threshing
machines; that the spores find a
lodging place between the heel and
the kernel; that when the oats
terminate, the smut spores also
germinate and will grow with the
stalk. but on the inside of it; and
that when one stalk of stool is in
fected all the other stalks are in
fected The only way to prevent
smut is by treating the seed with
something that will kill the spore
of the smut and not kill the oats.
The best material to use is for
malin, which is 40 per cent. for
maldehyde. Be sure your formalin
is full strength. Weak formalin
is worthless for smut treatment.
If the formalin is too strong it will
kill the germ of the oat.
TREATMENT.
Wait until the danger of freez-
ing is past, preferably just before
sowing. Sweep off place on the
floor and cover it with oats about
one inch deep and sprinkle with IA
solution of one pound of 40 per
cent. formalin to forty gallons of
water Put on an inch or two
more of oats again and so on.
Every kernel should be wet. A
bushrl Of oats will take up about
one gallon of solution. Then pile
up your oats and cover with horse
blankets or gunny sacks. Let
them stand few hours, then take
off. the covering and shovel the
oats number of times, SO as to
allow them to dry. The important
point is to have the solution touch
every part of the surface of the

Something About Eggs.

The everyday world is full of
wonderful things, yet when you
give moments thought to an egg
we'll, chemist would tell you it
contains so much proteid, phos-
phoric acid and iron. But one
should think of it as

Milk and hair and blood and bone
An egg contains in concentrated
form everything that is required to
develop chicken, and it can be
cooked in so many ways that it is
palatable as well as digestible.
That is why eggs are chief among
the foods allowed an invalid.
Though chemists have tried for Il
hundred years to discover it. moth
ing in science or in all our wide
variety of foods can be transformed
into substitute for eggs. Of
course one could. if necessary, cook
without them, only it would mean
going without score of dishes we
think of as everyday necessities,
such as custards, cake, puddings,
griddle cakes, to say nothing of the
abundant use of what we might call
purely egg dishes. From the De-
lineator for March.

Edited by Hon. d. +. Sewcomb.

The special meeting of the La
Jara Board of Trade held last Sat
urday was grand success. Con-
trary to the expectations of many
there were a sufficient number of
COWS reported in the district to
/ Justify the starting of the creamery.
On Monday, the 18th of March.
the whistle will blow and a new
enterprise will be launched in La
Jara. Mr.. Blackburn, of Del
Norte. who comes with the best of
recommendations as an expert but
ter maker, will have charge.
Arrangements are being made to
establish skimming station in
Manassa, at once. Without hand
separators are used extensively it
will also be necessary to establish
skimming station at Sanford.
The old method of hauling milk to
the creamery for separation is no
longer practiced. 1t is altogether
too cumbersome since hand separ-
ators do the work just as well and
save an immense amount of un-
necessary labor.
From long experience i'll the
dairy and creamery business | be-
lieve l am qualified to give some
sound advice on this subject. adj
vice which, if followed, may mean
great deal to those just starting
in the business.
In the first place don't base sue
cess upon the number of COWS you
expect to milk. 1t is more than
probable that one half of the COWS
MIXED in this county will not pay
for their feed and care. The first
thing to be done is to test each
COW and to discard every COW that
does not show profit This is
not hard to do. Open an account
with each COW Charge her with
cost of her feed and credit her with
the butter fat she gives you. If
you haven't a tester yourself, take
fair sample of each COWS milk to
the creamery and have it tested.
Remember that feed has very little
to do with the quality of milk, but
that it has great deal to do with
the quantity. If COW runs to fat
instead of milk on high feed, she
should go to the butcher Don't
be afraid to feed your COWS all the
bran and chop they can eat while
giving milk. Under no circum-
stances allow dairy COW to get
poor. If you want to know how to
feed your COWS, watch your dutch
neighbor feed his COWS. If you
intend to milk COWS in the winter
season, and that is the time to milk
them if you want to make money, it
is almost absolutely necessary that
you raise enough roots to give your
COWS a liberal daily feed. There is
no root better than sugar beets.
Don't neglect this matter for there
is no crop you can raise that will
begin to make as much money.
Mangel, wertzels and turnips will
do, but sugar beets are much bet
ter. If you have half dozen cows
it will pay you well to get hand
separator. See that your COWS are
comfortable all the time You
know what it takes to make you
comfortable. 1t takes the same
conditions to make the old COW
comfortable warmth. good bed
and full belly. Never under any
circumstance strike or swear at a
COW. If possible. let the same
person feed, milk and handle the
same COW at the same place and at

Why Grout Was Not Afraid.

Grout as he put one foot out of bed and
began reaching around in the dark for
his trousers.

minute there We're sounds of falling

his antagonist round the neck right at the

of knots. bumped his head against the

him down the front steps.

climax that he wears "side whiskers."
