Advice to UnreEistered.

The city clerk is DESTROYS Of giving some
timely instructions to the unregistered
voters of South Omaha which will make it
possible for them to ave time on election
day and he hopes will save the office
much work. Unregistered voters can vote

cuse for not registering. In order to cast
their ballot, however, they will have to
appear at the city clerks offices and make
application. With them they must bring
two owners of real estate in the ward
and precinct in which they wish to vote.
These property owners must vouch for
them as being entitled to vote in the pre-
cinot.
Removals since the last day of regis
tration will not be able to vote. 1t is an
ticipated that few people who have regis
tered will have changed their place of

salary of SIS per month to take charge of
this work. The commissioners so far have
not granted the request. The management

Fresh Meat on Farm.

Fresh meat is only occasionally OBJ
tainable Oh the farm when situated
any distance from a large city. Dur
ing its investigations of life on the
farm by the country life commission
this problem was one frequently INST
with. Products Of the big packing
housts never reach small country VIII
lagos, consequently fresh beef is scarce
in the rural communities. In TIE
neighborhood of Clarinda, Iowa, and
In northern Missouri some 300 German
and Swedish farmers have solved tLe
problem, I'm fact have for several yea e
been feasting regularly on the very
best of fresh beef. There are. in these
sections. at least a score of Country
beef clubs" Usually each club is cola-
posed of sixteen members, because
beef carcass is easily divided into that
number of cuts. These cuts alterns te
SO that no farmer gets the same cot
oftener than every sixteenth time.
According TO the plans Of all these
clubs. one good fat beef animal Is
contributed each week by one OF the
farmers The killing is done by che
butcher In the nearest town or ham
let and the beef dealt out TO the men,
bers of the club, some of whom super
intend the dressing of the animal each
week Tie animal contributed must
be satisfactory TO every member of the
club. No lean or lumpy jawed ami
NAL is ever run in. expulsion from the
club being the penalty. In this way
farmers who would otherwise find IL
impossible to get fresh, edible beef
regularly and in sufficient quantity for
their needs have an adequate supply.
These clubs are made necessary by
the fact that the best beef cattle are
always shipped to the great packing
houses. The packers want all the
fancy beeves available and they nav
much better prices for them than the
provincial butcher can afford to give.
The result is that the butchers in the
little towns get nothing but the poor
est trade of stock. some of ii really I'm.
desira BILE for killing.
More than that, these little town
slaughter houses are. in fact. a menace
to the health of all who eat the prod.
ucts. 1t is rarely an inspector bothers
about visiting one. and they go from
year TO year and from worse to worse.
Many of these rural town butchers
rcddle meats in the farming districts.
Their wagons are not suited for the
purpose. In summer the meat is
spoiled before it reaches the farmer
and In no season is ii clean.

Dniry Hints.

When the COW is not comfortable she
will not produce milk profitably.
Neat farm houses and good barns are
generally signs of good dairying.
Don'S use cheap salt in making but
ter. Use table salt, as the barrel kind
is too coarse.
At present high prices the dairyman
should raise as much of his own feed
as possible.
Fresh, clean, solid butter always
brings a better price on the market
than the soft kind
Dairy cows should not be too fat.
They should not rob the milk pail TO
put on flesh.
The most successful dairymen are
those who are willing to begin with
small capital and work up.
In building up the herd it will be
found the fall fresh COW is the best,
and SO is the fall calf the best to buy.
If COWS that are well fed and prop
erly cared for do not prove profitable
dispose of them and get others.
When rearing heifer calf for the
dairy the object is to secure rapid
growth of muscle and bone, and not fat.
Keep the stables clean and comfort
able, and the wife and daughter will
be glad TO lend a hand in the dairy
work.

In the Cellar.

If the apples are picked over in time
it will prevent many sound apples from
being started to rotting.
Apples should be kept covered so
they may not be dried out too quickly
The person doing the sorting over of
the apples should be a careful and re
liable one SO that the fruit may not be
further bruised in the rehandling.
The old idea of allowing apples to
be exposed TO sthe air to make them
keep the longer is now regarded as err
roneOus. 1t does indeed sometimes pre-
vent rotting, but ii always helps
shriveiing.
The only case in which apples should
be exposed to the air is when the Gel
lar Is moist. In that case combining
the apples may increase loss from rot

BeetG and turnips. if left to evapo-
rate moisture will soon become of no

All potatoes should be kept out of

ical changes in potatoes that reduce
their value for culinary purposes.
Seed potatoes should be kept
throughout the winter in such a perfect
state that they will neither sprout nor

Wbtl the seed potato is allowed to

tato a considerable amount OF mois-
