Sheep the Market Demands.


Says Western writer on sheep:
The market calls for sheep with darl,
face aud legs, and close fleece is a 1
advantage. There never has been a
time when q fair profit could not be
obtained from the keeping of sheep
Tnerc are in the world to-day 9O,O00.Oo0
fewer sheep than twelve years ago, and
the consumption Of mutton and wool Is
rapidly increasing. hence it is safe to
conclude that sheep to the farmer is a
safe proposition. Do not start on q
large scale; begin low and work up
The Western farmer does not like to do
this. and you are no exception. You
have never planted the apple because
you did not expect to stay to eat the
fruit. You must rush on and do big
things. Do you not know that in the
animal as we'll as the vegetable world
rapid growth means rapid decay? Plant
this live stock business and then give
1t time to strike its roots deep down,
and after it is fairly rooted allow the
top to grow.

Packing ADDlea.

In packing apples for market first as
sort them, SO that they will run uni
form in size and quality. Pack in sound,
clean barrels with fiat hoops
preferred. Turn the upper head down,
take out the lower head and place a
large sheet Of white paper next the
head, then pack the first layer of apples
with the stem ends upon the head.
Pack the second tier, but reverse the
apples; then fill the apples without
bruising the fruit. Shake down thor
oughly and fill so full that the head
must be pressed in with a lever or bar
rel press; then fasten the head, turn
the barrel over and mark plainly the
name Of the variety contained. Extra
care and labor In packing enhances the
value when selling.

STORMS IN SOUTH
Eight PERSONS KNOWN TO Be
dead scores INJURED,
Cotton Fields Ruined-WoIf Rivers
Several Miles Wide in Vicinity OF
Rossvlle. Tenn.-People in State of
PanIc-States of Mississippi and
Tennessee Suffered Most.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 20.-Eight
persons are known to have lost their
lives, scores of others are injured and
property and crops suffered great dam
age as the result of a terrific wind and
rain storm Sunday. The storm, which
originated on the gulf, swept north
eastward through portions of Alabama,
centraland northern Mississippi, and
western Tennessee, and in it's north
ward course RACED scores of s ubstan-
tial buildings, partially demolished
hundreds of others, caused a complete
decentralization of railroad traffic and
cut off Geographic communication with
many points in the affected territory.
Cotton in the fields blown down by
the wind was beaten into the ground
and badly damaged. Wolf river, a
small stream running eastward of this
city, is out of it's banks in many places,
and in the vicinity of Rossville, Tenn,
is several miles wide, the town being
completely inundated and the populace
in state bordering on panic.
In the Path of the Storm.
The storm approached Athens. Ala,
from the west, and cut path 300
yards wide through the southern por-
ton Of that city. A score of buildings
were wrecked, out no one was killed
or seriously injured.
At Mathison, Miss, nearly every
building in the southern portion of the
town was destroyed. These included
the Baptist church, public school build
ings, several brick buildings and a
number of residences. At this place a
negro woman was killed and several
others were injured.
At Okolona, Miss, three lives were
lost. The property loss at this place
can not be ascertained tonight.
At Maben, Miss, Ben Woodford, a
telegraph operator, and his wife sus-
tanned injuries which may cause their
death. At this place the Maben bank
and several brick buildings were de-
molished.
At Bolivar, Tenn, nine inches of
rain fell in "a hours, and thousands of
head Of cattle were cought in the
lowlands. Relief parties were out to-
day, but because Of the high stage of
the water, little could be accomplished
in rescuing the drowning cattle.
Grenade, Miss, where serious dam
age was reported to have occurred,
escaped almost unscather.

Grow Feed on the Farm.

The Massachusetts, State crop report
contains an article by Prof. F. S. Cooley
on Some Causes Affecting the Profits
Of Dairying." On the subject of feed
ing dairy cattle the professor urges
that feeds be produced on the farm as
far as possible. Usually the best prac-
tice Is to purchase only feeds rich In
protein and raise the coarse folders
on the farm. Cows fed on starvation
rations yield no profit, and those over
fed with expensive feeds are also kept
at loss. The point of highest p-ofit
in feed must be determined by expert
ment and calculation, and varies with
the locality and circumstances Of the
feeder.

Farmers and Poultry Fanciers.

The farmer has a real grievance
against the poultry fancier, in that he
has done all of his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
.tical utility, says Farming, whether the
hens from which he has been breeding
were producing sixty eggs year or
200 made no difference. His whole
aim has been to breed out foul flight
feather or two, or to create better
comb, or eyes Of better tint at a
sacrifice of everything else The result
is that when a farmer goes into the
market to buy thoroughbreds with his
money in his pocket ready and willing
TO pay for the best stock, he not only
often pays for qualities he does
not need, but actually pays
premium for something that
has been obtained at sacrifice
of the very qualities which he does
need. There are a few men, however,
raising thoroughbred stock that il
bred to lay" or to meet certain market
demands, and those are the men that
should be patronized.

Windfall ADDles.

What to do with the windfall apples
is a problem that gives the owner OF
every large orchard considerable con-
Germ as the time for picking apples ap-
prOaches. Where one is provided with
al evaporation or is so fixed that he
can convert this defective fruit into
vinegar, the problem is comparatively
simple. But where neither method of
disposing Of this product of the orchard
is possible it is a question what is the
best thing to do. An effective method
Of disposing of such apples and one
which gives certain return Is to turn
drOves of hogs or sheep into the or
chard periodically and allow them 10
clean them up. This not only disp0se0
Of theHapples, but the worms as well,
as such apples are usually wOrmy. In
any case it is best to remove the wind
falls from beneath the trees, and II
they cannot be disposed of in any Of
the methods suggested it is best to put
them on the pillow land with the manure
and turn them under.

Care of Orchards PAYS.

Fruit growers about Saugatuck,

apple trees, says Country Gentleman.
Ten years ago they were thinking of
cutting them down and setting out
peach trees. To-day every half-dead
tree is trimmed, and if there is not
enough manure, fertilizer Is bought for
these half-dead trees. Six years ago
one Of Saugatuck's young farmers mar
ried Chicago girl who used to spend
her vacation there. She loved country
life, and was a subscriber to agricul-
tural magazines. Her husbands or
chard was just like the rest. untrimmed
and had never been sprayed. She made
him buy manure, trim the trees, plow
and spray. Two years ago he BEGAN

year he was the only one who had ap-
pies to sell, and cleared $4,000.

grass, replacing the latter with a close.

Easy Way to Get Rid Of Stumps.
A method of getting rid of stumps
which has been highly recommended
and which, to be effective, should be
done now, Is as follows: Bore a hole
one or two inches in diameter and
about eighteen inches deep into the
center of the stump. Then put into
this hole one or two ounces of salt
peter. Fill the hole with water and
plug 1t up. In the spring take out
the plug, pour In about one half gal-
lon of kerosene Oil and light it. Tn
stump will smOlder away to the very
extremities Of the roots, leaving moth
ing but the ashes-Farming.

CIVIC EVOLUTION.

Western people are familiar
with the changes in morals and
manners of a community as it
passes from the frontier stage to
one of stability and more or less
refinement. The same sort of
development is to be seen today
in Minnesota, tho we no longer
have a frontier, and consider our
selves well to the front in the
march Of progress.
When the railroad first went
thru, these towns were merely
the temporary swarming places
of transients. Such inhabitants
were not as a rule "bad men,"
but they lacked home environ
ment, and the prevailing atmo-
sphere was one of license and
loose morals. Saloons were the
most numerous places of bust
ness, and open gambling houses
the most prosperous. Railroad
and lumber crews were the pat
ronage on which these industries
fed.
A great change has come over
some such towns, still in their in
fancy, The Crookston Times
calls attention to the fact that
within a year nearly every village
on the Great Northern between
Crookston and Bagley has voted
to prohibit the sale of liquors.
Instead of harboring unbridled
vice theyhave becomequiet order
ly communities, observing the
laws and building up solid ma
terial prosperity. Following the
transient population that blazed
the way, settlers moved in and
improved the lands around, and
men with families and more
settledp principles came in toestab-
ish stores, banks and other
necessary enterprises. This ele-
ment soon became the controll.
ing one, and in one town after
another came revolutions from
''wide-open' methods to decency
and order.
The civilized stage has come
unusually soon to most of these
communities, and there is reason
to believe that the general awak.

PIG COSTS TO COUNTY.

When a saloon license sympa-
thizer is driven to the ditch for
argument, he usually falls back
on the overworked one that the
county suffers because of the
cost of prosecuting blind pig
ers. Granting that there are
usually a few such cases to deal
with at each term when the prin-
cipal city of the county maintains
no-license, it is nevertheless true
that the absence of other crimes
which usually attend a saloon
policy more than compensates
for them. The costs of criminal
prosecution is less to the county
under no-license than under the
saloon policy. Past records Of
the county will prove it,
Look at the figures given else
where in this issue. The total
cost of grand jury, petit jury dur
ing the week it was considering
criminal cases, and witness fees
amounts to about 81, O07.96. The
total amount of fines and penal
ties assessed is $4,000, $3.50 of
which have already been paid
into the county treasury. The
net cost of these prosecutions
is therefore a small amount, and
Ole Lundquist's bills for board
and jailor's fees will not swell the
same to any alarming sum. Five
or six good indictments remain
yet to be tried.
Another thing, the pig cases
we're more quickly disposed of
and cost the county less to prose-
cute than the other classes of
criminals dealt with. Not more
than half of the juries' time was
spent on pig cases and of the
$180.78 paid for witness fees, on
ly $59.l6 are charged to the pig
cases. The fines and penalties
assessed on this class amounts
to 1913. Thus it is very proba-
bic that a net gain in the cost
Of prosecutions of this class will
be shown.
When anyone whines about the
cost to the county Of prosecu-
ting the blind-pigs Of Willmar,
you may safely assume that such
person is either ignorant or de-
sires saloons for other reasons.
Tell such persons that there
has not been a hold-up or serious
burglary or assault for three
or four years at Willmar.
