Secretary Wilson on the Chicago
Stock Show.

The Honorable James Wilson, Sec
rotary of Agriculture, in speaking OF
the International Live Stock EXPOSE
ton, which is to be held this year
from Nov. q to Dec. 10, said:
"The International Live Stock Ex-
position as an educational factor has
carved a niche for itself.
"Producers are confronted with the
problem of increased cost of every
commodity that they use, greatly en-
HANGING their expenditure.
''Obviously this necessitates rigid
economy, and the man who reduces
cost of production to minimum in
sures maximum profits and his own
survival where others fail.
1.-THE International is teaching it's
valuable lesson to the country at an
opportune moment.
'During the period of cheap feed
and feed lot extravaganza such edu-
cation was not valued, because its
benefits we're not realized at the time.
''Under new conditions, the man
who produces beef, pork and mutton
cannot afford the use of inferior ma.
chinery in his business.
ECONOMY requires that he handle
the very best types of the most i'm
proved breeding; and these lessons
can be obtained at the International
Live Stock Exposition, which is
acknowledged to be an educational
institution of the highest order in its
line."

Life of Governor johnson.

Frank A. Day, private secretary of
the late Governor Johnson has under
taken to write and publish biography
of the lamented Governor. He does
this at the request of Mrs. Johnson,
and as the most intimate friend, per-
haps, that the late Governor had, he
is undoubtedly peculiarly qualified
for the task. There are thousands OF
friends of the late Governor who
would like to have some permanent
record and memorial of his life and
works. It would seem as if there
should be a great demand for such a
biography as Mr.. Day proposes to
issue. The book will be about four
hundred pages and will be we'll bound
and geographically perfect. The
book will be profusely and handsome
ly illustrated, and will be in every
respect a publication worthy of a
place in every Minnesota home.
Governor Johnson's life was an in
spiration to every ambitious boy and
girl, and a record of that life on the
library table will be valuable con-
tribution to the education of the
children. We understand that Mr..
Day will distribute the book through
the medium of agents to be appointed
in every county of the state.

THE new WATER RESERVOIR
Is Now Being Tested. Holds One
Million Gallons. City is now
Protected Against All En-
ergencies. Old Stand
Pipe To Be Retained.
Splendid Location.

The new water reservoir is now CON-
pleted and on Wednesday of last week
water for the first time was pumped
into it and thus the big tank was
given it's first trial. The water was
Fpumped in gradually in order to make
sure of the strength and safety of the
walls. The pressure is exactly the
same as in the old water tower, but
when filed the new one will hold fifty
times the amount of water, or one
million gallons.
Some years ago it was realized, that
the old tower was insufficient to sup
ply the city with water. This is true in
particular as to fire protection, how
ever the necessary funds were not in
the city Golfers. A little over a year
ago, however, the project was serious,
Nly considered and a committee was
appointed to Investigate and study the
water problems of other cities. Re-
ports being favorable a resolution to
build a new reservoir, was passed in
September of last year and Herman's
Height was chosen as proper loca-
ton. The committee acquired the
necessary grounds (almost an acre.
and early this spring excavations
began.
The water main takes it's start on
German street and is laid at depth
of seven feet on Center to the reser-
voir, distance of about mile. The
main was laid at cost of 80, $50, the
4 building of the reservoir cost 81, 1888,
sthe total expenditure being 1923, O00
The reservoir measures 10 feet in dia-
meter with a height of 30 feet. The
entire building, roof included, is built
of concrete with steel re-enforcements,
and is a credit to the skill of our city
engineer.
The building of the reservoir was a
great necessity, as the former fire pro-
lection was very inadequate and in
case of coniagration the city fire de-
partment would have been we'll nigh
powerless. The monthly consumption
of water in the city is three million
gallons, and as the old tower will be
retained in use, the city will now be
sufficiently supplied with wafer.
1t is the intention of the city council
to turn the grounds surrounding the
reservoir into park, and if some
thing will be done to beautify the
grounds around Hermans monument,
Herman's Hoehe would without a
doubt become one of the most beauti-
full places in the city.

A fire supposed to be of incendiary
origin came very near destroying a
threshing outfit belonging to several
CORTLAND farmers. The outfit had
been moved to the farm occupied BY
John Gabriel preparatory to doing the
threshing and was standing near the
grain stacks. Fortunately for the
owners of the threshing outfit as well
as the owners Of the grain, Mr.. Cab
riel awoke just in time to arouse the
crew and with prompt and we'll direct
ed effort put out the fire and prevented
considerable loss.

The Turner's and Turner-Frauen.
verein Celebrate.

It was a splendid social affair,
pleasant and successful in every re-
spect when Thursday evening the
members of the New Ulm Turnverein
and the Turner Frauenverein gathered
at the banquet board at Turner Hall
and with speech, song and dance cele-
brated the fifty third anniversary of
the founding of the former organiza-
ton and the twentieth anniversary of
the birth of the latter. In all there
were over two hundred people present,
no outsiders, only members of the two
societies and their families. The
ladies of the Frauenverein had charge
OF all arrangements pertaining to the
banquet and they executed these du-
ties in a most creditable manner.
Herman Helm presided at the ban
quet in very happy manner. Capt.
F. Burg as president of the Turnverein
delivered the address of welcome.
Capt. A. Steinhauser read a commu-
nication from Chas. Roos and A.
Setter who expressed their regret of
not being able to partake in the festi-
vities. There were also short talks, re-
minlscent and otherwise, by Mrs. Aug.
Schmidt, president of the Frauenver-
elm. This lady recalled the fact that
20 years ago this auxiliary to the
Turnverein was organized with II
members of which twenty-nine are
still actively connected with the So
ciety, Mrs. A. I. Setter being the first
president. The society today has 80
members. Others that spoke of olden
times and days gone by we're Mrs.
Capt. Burg, Mrs. Schapekahm, Mrs.
Nix, Mrs. E. Brandt, Mrs. III. Hauen-
stein, Mrs. Roos. The most promi-
nent feature of the program, however,
was the presentation by Mrs. Schmidt
OF a gift of $500 from The Frauenver-
Elm to the Turnverein and the presen-
.ation by Capt. Burg of diploma to
member whose membership had ex-
tended over a quarter of a century.
The proud recipient was Chas. Hauen-
stein, honored for having reached the
twenty-five year mark. The custom
of giving out these diplomas was es-
tablished at the anniversary ceIebra-
ton in 1906. The musical features
consisted of a either duet by Miss
Hertha Mueller and Henry Stein
hauser, soprano solo by Miss Irma
Hauensteiu, song duet By Elfrieda
Toberer and Laura Krause and sever
al numbers by male quartet.

There are no days like Indian-Summer days,
When sweet the sun shines through mellow
haze
And softly kisses earth in shy delight
Eighteen hens that were fed milk last
winter, laid more eggs than 100 fed on
cut bone and meat.
A flock might just as we'll roost in
trees as in a house full of cracks and
holes, which chiils the birds in spots
and produces bad colds.
A hen too fat gets lazy; she takes no
interest in life. One too poor cares
nothing about her egg record. The
happy medium is happy hen.
Some people are willing to pay an
extra price for eggs of one color.
Many people get cent or more a
dozen for sorting their hen fruit &C
cording to size and color.
On some farms the young chickens
are allowed to roost outdoors during
the summer and fall. They should at
once be trained to winter quarters, and.
the sooner this is done the better.
I should rather have one happy hen.
than two grumpy ones. A happy hen
is the one that fattens the pocketbook.
a hen with a crouch isn't worth her
space, no matter what her breed may be-
It is worth the poultry raiser's while
to remember that an earth floor is un-
healthful when the location is natural
ly wet and not we'll drained. With,
this kind of location it will pay to put
in board floor.
Hens will not lay during the cold
months ur less given food rich in egg
material. I feed wheat and skim-milk.
which are splendid egg producing
foods; and also include parched corn
and Kafir-corn in the bill of fare.
Take no chances by having too many,
chickens together in one flock If you
see they are getting to be crowded in
their winter quarters, make thrift and
health certainty by dividing them up.
or selling some of them.
You may have an idea that poultry
can hunt their own grit. You are
wrong. Grit is as essential as feed.
Get grit box, fill it with crushed rock
and oyster-shell, and hang it on the
wall where dirt will not be scratched
into it.
We know when November arrives
that winter is not far off. There will
be a number of very nice days this
month, and advantage should be taken
of good weather for repairing the hou-
ses, painting, whiteWashing or what
ever work might be necessary before
real winter comes.
One OF the best methods of keeping
the poultry house warm in winter at
small cost, is to keep the floor well lit
Tered with dirt, cut straw, hay or
leaves to the depth Of from three to
six inches. This protects against loss
of heat and prevents cold currents
from below, and may also be used to
scatter the grain in to keep the fowls
active.-From November Farm Jour-
