Farm Notes.

Successful farming is the product of
intelligent, well-directed energy.
The records show that more chickens
are lost on wet mashes than those kept
on dry feed.
If chickens are forced in the early
stages they will not make as rapid
growth as they approach maturity as
those fed more moderate ration.
Try putting handful of shelled corn
with the grain for the horse. 1t will
encourage better grinding of the feed
and the little corn will be good for him.
The too-large collar is about as bad
as the too-small collar. See that the
collar fits. The horses will pull better
and there will be no danger of sore
shoulders.
One farmer who started with ce-
ment trough for his pigs has extended
the use of cement to the building of a
silo, barn, and the next thing will be a
cement house.
Plan to grow your chicken to market
able size as soon as possible, for the
amount of feed required to produce a
pound of flesh increases as the chicks
approach maturity.
The use of a separator gives YOU
warm, sweet milk for the calves, pigs
and chickens, and it is worth a good
deal more as feed at that time than
when cold and sour.

ARM TORN OUT.
Serious Accident to Phillip Greer
at C. N. Coal Shed.

While at work at the Great North
ern coal shed yesterday afternoon,
Phillip Greer had his right arm torn
completely out with part of the
shoulder by having it caught in the
fy-wheel of the engine. The details
of the accident are unknown, as
Greer was alone and when questioned
was only able to say that the engine
was "bucking." He was probably
examining the engine when he was
caught.
His cry for help was heard for a
long distance and Arthur Clark sue
ceeded in reaching him first, and as
sisted him part way to the ground,
when DIR. Caine and DR.. Hulburd ar
rived, and he was taken to his home
nearby. Here his wound was dress
ed, and he is reported to have stood
the shock very well.
Greer came here about two months
ago from Smith Lake. He is married
and has one child.

Crop Rotation.

Crop rotation is coming to be rec
ognized as an important factor in
profitable farming. In some very
simple systems of rotation conducted
at the Minnesota Experiment Station
st. Anthony Park, difference OF
$13.43 an acre in net profit Is shown
between poorly arranged cropping
systems and those that provide for a
proper system .of rotation. Pasture
and hay crops judiciously distributed
throughout the rotation with the
reasonable use of cultivated crops in
variably result in greatly increased
yields of grain and all other crops.
Rotations in five and six-year peri
ods appear to offer the best opportu-
mites for increasing crop production
but the three and four-year rotation
also give splendid results when the
crops are properly arranged. Many
combinations of crops are included in
the 1913 plots now devoted to expert
ments in crop rotation at University
Farm, giving a splendid basis from
which to draw conclusions on good
arrangements of crops for various
types of farming.
The Station authorities believe that
the farm revenues of Minnesota can
be raised at least 25 per cent by
rational system of crop rotation, but
as this rotation must be arranged to
suit each individual farm, it is not
possible to give system of rotation
that will be suited to all. Prof. Andrew
Boss, the agriculturist of the Station
at st. Anthony Park, who has this
work in charge, will revise plans of
rotations or suggest new rotation free
of charge upon receipt of inquiries.

NO OTHER WAY.
What the Western Publisher
Advises Business Men
to Try.

The old adage that "money makes
the mare go" has a counterpart in
the truism that advertising creates
and holds business. What man of
ordinary common sense engaged in
business in this day and generation
would think, or have the right to
think, of success without liberal pub
licity through that best of all adver-
tising mediums, the local paper? Sa-
cred history records that "there is a
time for all things" and when that
truthful sentence was penned if it was
not meant that advertising should be
perennial there was a lack Of fore
sight that has since been made mani
fest.
The smallest merchant in the small
est town, even though he may be the
sole occupant of the field, will soon
find there is no field whatever if the
matter of spreading printers ink is
overlooked or ignored. Trade that by
right should come to him will be di-
verted in the direction of rival town,
where the spirit of enterprise above
and beyond all takes into considera-
ton the power of the press as a dis
tributor of information that the pub
lie desires to know before parting
with their dollars, that they may be
placed where they will do the most
good.
In hundreds of instances, by words
of its own and by extracts from the
public press, the Western Publisher
has shown that without advertising
there is no sure thing to success. Tt
has been demonstrated by piles of
musty goods on dusty shelves by out
of. date fabrics that nobody wants at
any price, and eliminates in putting
up of the blinds and a pulling down
of the curtains, no more to be taken
down Or raised up.
If we are in business there are
some things incurring expense and la
Dor and effort that may be put aside
temporarily if not permanently, but
advertising, never! That must go on
if we want to go on ourselves with
successful business pursuits. Western
Publisher.

Laughable Errors.

Typographical errors often place a
newspaper in an embarrassing pre-
dicament. For instance, recently an
editor meant to compliment a young
lady at party by noting that cher
dainty feet we're incased in shoes that
might have been taken for fairy
boots" When it appeared in the
paper the printer made him say, "her
dirty feet were incased in shoes that
might have been taken for ferry
boats"

What Does Dairying Do?

It brings in constant income.
It give constant remunerative en-
ployment.
It is the most progressive branch of
farming.
It furnishes condensed article for
market.
It enables the farmer to divide his
work better.
It returns satisfactory profits from
an expenditure of brain energy.
Last but not least it pays better
than any other branch of farming.
1t takes less fertility from the soil
than any other branch of agriculture.
1t leads to thoughtfulness of the
comfort of animals and thus tends to
morality Northwestern Agricultural.

Origin Of "Red Tape.n

The term red tape' is used to de-
note excessive routine and formality
n the management of official affairs,
servile adherence to precedent. Be-
fore the invention of the modern ap-
pliances of elastic bands, file holders
and other means Of securing papers
all official documents were bound with
red ribbons or tapes. The necessary
delay caused by the undoing of tapes
by slow moving government officials
before business could be transacted
came at length to stand as representa-
tive of all delays.
