Arguments Of Attorneys Closed This
Morning and the Judge De-
ivers Charge.
MAXI NEXT ON TRIAL
Case of Williams Robbery on Calen-
dar for Monday Followed BY
William Sly.

George French has too much mon
ey! - =
This morning, his books of the
county treasury, showed that the
county had $44O,727.6O in cash. The
legal limit of the amount which can
be deposited with the county deposit
tories, which is the amount of capt.
tai stock and surplus in all Of the
county banks combined, is $685. 500.
Consequently Mr.. French has little
over 100000 on his hands for which
there is no legal depository.
No place has been provided in the
courthouse for the storage Of money
so Mr.. French has allowed the banks
to be over-deposited rather than risk
the loss of the money. To remedy
the conditions, the county is adver-
tising for bids for additional deposi-
tories. The larger part of the sur
plus is the ditch money of which
nearly 100000 has been paid in the
past few days. The last amount was
$4,000 and accrued interest, and
amounting to $7O,159.s2 for ditch
IL. -
Work on the bitches will be paid
for as fast as it is completed as the
contracts state that the money will
be paid over from time to time upon
the recommendation of the engineer.
This Mr. French estimates will take
out of the treasury about $4,000
in the next thirty days. The amount
on deposit will then be close to WITH
in the legal limit.
Lefave Goes to the Jury.
Arguments by the attorneys in the
case of the state versus Lefave, of
Baudette, were completed this morn
ing. After dinner, Judge Stanton de-
livered his charge to the jury and
it retired for the consideration of a
verdict. George Erickson, of Spoon
er, delivered the argument for the de-
Tense and Graham Torrance for the
state. - ~ rs -.
Following the Lafave case, the
state expects to call the case of Isaac
MAXI, the third one of the trio of
Williams men accused Of robbery.
Arthur jacobson was tried first and
was acquitted. John Kivei was tried
second and convicted but Judge Stan
ton has not yet passed sentence. At
ter the Maxi case, the state plans to
call William Sly for trial. He is
charged with robbery in the second
degree. Iver Iverson is then sched-
uled for trial on an adultery charge
and Fred Cook on a charge of carpal
knowledge Of child under the age
of consent. This will finish the jail
cases.

ANSWER.
1t is almost impossible to use
anything that will ccunteract the
bitter taste in milk where cows eat
bitter weed If the cows are CIV
en- a tablespoonful of plain cook
ing soda every other day it will
help the trouble some. but there
will be a slight taste in the milk.
The best thing for you to do would
be to remove the cows to another
pasture and feed on hulls mixed
with one part each of cotton seed
meal, bran, beet pulp and corn
meal It would pay you better to
keep your cows in the lot and feed
them rather than allow them to go
in the pasture where they will get
the bitter weed. AS long as they
get the weed the milk will taste.
Thoroughly cleanse all of your
milking vessels. using soda in the
water. Wash the cows udder thor
oughly and then draw a little milk
from each teat before saving the
remainder. AS long as any of the
weed is in the cows system the
milk will be affected.

QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.

tied range?
8. Please advise me as to how to

ton.
6. What breed of chickens make
the best broilers or early flyers?
z. When cat the earliest) in the
fall do you begin running incubat-
ors after the present Matching sea-
son is over?
Hoping to hear from you soon, l
am HARRY w. HARGIs. Jr.
ANSWER.
do not know how to cure white
diarrhoea, as l have never had any
experience with it but if your chick
ems are properly fed and kept warm
at the right temperature they will
not have it. You are giving some
thing to eat that has caused it. The
Conkey people are selling a prepare
ton which they guarantee to cure
white diarrhoea, and it might pay
you to try it.
Little chickens should be fed
just what they will eat up clean
in five minutes every two hours,
then take it away from them. Aft
er they are 10 days to two weeks
old keep a pan filled with two parts
bran and one part meat scraps be-
fore them at all times. Still con-
tinue to feed the grain feed, say
four times a day after they are two
weeks old.
Late Matched chickens, as a rule
do not color as we'll as early hatch
ed ones.
Incubator Matched chickens
should not have unlimited
range until they are practically
feathered the first time, say four
weeks old. Limited range means
that they should be kept in a brood
err almost constantly up until this
time. My experience has been that
they will do better if they are kept
off the ground until they are par
fridge size and get started right.
1 am sending you an application
blank to join the A. p A, which
gives you instructions how to do
this.
Most any chickens make good
broilers if they are properly fed
and from the right kind of stock.
Feed and attention plays the most
important part.
Usually late in September is the
best time to start your incubators
for fall use.

Small Poultry Shows and
What They Stand For

ERHAPS the expression most
IL often heard at the poultry
II shows is, 81 have birds just
as good as these" The speaker
does not stop to consider what this
expression really means to the
poultry industry. If they really
have what they believe to be better
birds it is their duty to their broth
er fanciers to bring their birds for
ward where they can be passed on
by a competent judge, and before
this is done they have no right to
make such, comparisons.
The prospects are that we will
have a greater number of shows
over the country during the coming
season than ever before. In the
larger shows, of course, it is harder
to win the coveted prizes than in
the smaller shows where the conn
petition is not so sharp. However,
the smaller shows are just as neces-
sary as the larger ones; they act as
a stimulus to the smaller breeders
and inspire then to greater things,
such as winning in sharper compe-
tition in the larger shows such as
the international.

Yours very truly

Mrs. j. IL. f1orns IedEys ia
please advise me by return mail
how / can do away with chicken
lice. I have tried several kinds of
poultry powders and without sue
cess. I have also used a bottle of,
one part of sweet oil and two parts
of oil of sassafras, and this did no
good. Most of my chickens have
the small ones on them, look some
thing like a little white worm,
while a good many of them nave
the large black lice on them. l
have also noticed a few ON my fry
ing size ones. Please attend to
this as early as possible"
ANSWER.
You can certainly get rid of the
lice on your chickens by dipping
them during the middle part OF
some farm day using a solution OF
75 parts water to one part or
either of the dips advertised on the
market-Bee-Dee, Choloro Germzo
or Germozone. Either of these Will
answer, and if they are wet thor
oughly to the skin il will Kill the
nits as we'll as the lice. The water
should be tepid and any chicken
that mas Iealnereu OUT Can po N'P
ned without injury, provided you
will place the second finger under
the bill with the first finger and
thumb over their nostrils in dip
ping them into the solution. Hold
them in the solution for a snort
while with their heads out ana
work it thoroughly into the skim
thoroughly wetting each part of the
body. If the oil of sassafras was
of full strength see no reason why
il should fail to kill the lice, as l
have never known it to fail, but, OF
course, it would not kill the nits,
therefore others would come. How
ever, the dip will do the work II
properly applied.

ANSWER.
You can give the colt milk from
the COW the same as you would a
calf. but il should be given three
times daily in clean vessels and the
milk should be warm. The colt is
old enough now to begin to eat
equal parts of oats and brand and
IL should have before it at all times
as much of this as it will eat each
day.

There is no difference between the

Belgian hares. They are practically
the same. The Rufus Red are the
