GOOD SENSE ABOUT HENS
Recommendations by Agricultural
Farm Expert

E. E. Eisen, of Sverdrup, asked c.
H. WEIGH, of the state university farm
a number of poultry questions recent
ly, and got the following practical an
swers:
Oyster shell, clam shell and the old
style lime mortar and lime plaster are
about equally efficient in poultry feed
mig. I believe the hens will eat more
of the oyster shell than of the others,
but do not think that they get any
amount of good from the excess.
Hens that do not have free range
probably need small amount of salt,
or at least can get good from it, 1t is
not necessary to them.
Putting rusty iron in the drinking
water will have no effect On the poul-
try. The amount of iron that would
be dissolved in the water would be so
small as to be Of no benefit
Practically all that is gained by
keeping the ROSTERS away from the
hens during the laying season, is the
infertility Of the eggs, which causes
them to keep fresh The hens do not
lay any more or less so far as we have
been able to determine. The above re-
fers to the keeping of only the num-
Der of males required for breeding

WHITTIER DEFIES GOVERNOR
RED WING SUPERINTENDENT
WILL NOT RESIGN.
Protracted Conference Ends With Mat.
ter Put Up to the Board
Of Control.

81. Paul, May Frank A. Whittier.
superintendent of the State Industrial
school at Red Wing, will not resign
MS position and fight is on between
the governor and the board of control.
AFTER a protracted conference in the
office OF the governor at which the
governor, Mr.. Whittier and his attor-
ney, Frank Wilson, were present, Sup
erlntendent Whittier told the govern
or Hatly that he would not resign.
saying he would rely on his right to
have a hearing before the board of
control.
me governor accordingly put the
matter up to the board of control. in
timating that he expected that body
to take action. Mr.. Whittier's re-
fusal to resign it is understood to
nave been made upon the advice of
the members of the board Of control.
Governor Eberhart went over the
matter carefully with the superintend.
ent. The governor made it clear that
in his opinion the superintendent,s
usefulness had ended.
Mr.. Whittier admitted that he could
run the school without corporal pun
ishment. In his conversation he ad.
mitted he knew d 10 other school
where more than 70 blows was ad-
mlnistered at one time, which Mr..
Whittier's method was to beat a boy
into. submission.
+ Superintendent Whittier claims that
the board OF control knew about the
administration of corporal punishment,
and also claims the legislative report
files no charges against him.
This is true; under the leadership
of Senator Rockne, report was adopt
cd, which acknowledged that cruel
and inhuman forms of punishment had
been used, but cut out the paragraph
criticizing Superintendent Whittier.
Goernor Eberhart is apparently dis
posed to take no notice of the report.

it was practically hopeless to

those pitchers who depended
on his gray matter as much
as on his Drawn for success.
Consequently, no pitcher ever
worked the corners of the plate
more than Dusty did. He
was an exceedingly hard man
to umpire behind; for he
never put the ball over the
heart of the plate. All his
strikes were just over the out
side or inside corner of the
plate. On the day in question
Tim had refused to see things
just as Rhoades would have
liked. After Tim had passed
two batters on eight pitched
balls, Rhoades walked up to
the plate in anything but a
congenial mood.
"Say, Tim, are you aware of
the fact that there are some
corners on that plate?r
"Indeed | am, MIR.
