chase Sires.

P. L. Spooner has purchased of w.
F. Schilling, of Northfeld, for the
Lakeside farm one of the best bred
Holstein Fresian sires in this part of
the state. It's dame has a butter re-
cord of II. 81 pounds of butter in a
week at three years of age. At ten
years of age she made 444 pounds of
butter in eleven months and produced
two strong calves. The sire of the
calf is from cow with a seven day
butter record Of 81 pounds. The
young bull has a sister from the
same dame that produced over 27
pounds of butter in a week and the
dame is one of "a cows from one sire
having good official butter records.
This is the kind of foundation stock to
place at the head of the herds of
Stevens County if the county is to

pure bred Holstein sire for his dairy
farm south of the city. He obtained

SEED CORN SITUATION.
Good Seed High and Scarce
Cheaper than Wheat.

Farm, Stock and Home Professor
Holden says that at least one-half of
the Iowa seed corn crop will not grow.
Mr.. Delaney, one of the leading
seedsmen of North Dakota, says that
that state will be fortunate If one
fourth of the seed terminates. Min
nesota seed corn is little if any better
than those mentioned. The early
freeze caught the corn in the ear,
sappy, and the germ was killed.
Much of the corn is mouldy, and corn
that has mold in the cob will not
grow. and it will infect and kill good
corn with which it comes in contact
in the hill.
This is the situation the farmers Of
the Northwest are facing, and at the
same time they are planning to large
ly increase their acreage. 1t is diff
cult to see how the situation is to be
met. The business farmer will test
this seed, and not wait until spring
to do It, but will begin at once. hold
ing everything testing strong 80 per
cent or better as possible seed. There
is no other way than to sow a good
deal of low-test corn this season, un-
less the acreage is sacrificed, and other
crops substituted. A thorough test
of crib corn may reveal some seed
supplies not reckoned on. and high
testing seed at five to six dollars per
bushel runs into money for the grow
er. On the other hand, figuring rs
ears to bushel, and fourteen to the
acre. $6. 90 seed costs less per acre
than wheat, and the price should not
deter the reader from securing the
best testing corn adopted to his local
ity. The results of the F., S. & H.
Corn Contest show conclusivelv that
the main factor in high yield and re-
sulting profit of corn per acre, apart
from good soil, is seed vitality and
perfect stand. Only the ear test can
give you accurate knowledge of the
quality of your seed, and make it
possible to prevent the weak. splind-
ling stalk, and the empty hill. 1t
follows that seed corn should be bought
on the.ear whenever possible, that an
ear test of every ear planted should
be made. and that only the best pos
Fsibfe seed should be used. A seed
tester that will serve every purpose
can be made for ten cents: dead ear
of corn knocks So. 90 off your possible
yields. Test the seed corn!

USE STRANGE FORMS.
How Lawyer Presented Orange
to Sweetheart.

Willmar Republican, Gazette -
Every trade, profession or calling has
its peculiar vocabulary and forms Of
expression, and lawyers are no excep-
tion to this rule Those have ever
paid attention any to the subject know
that lawyer can use more unneces-
sary words and repetitions than any
other professional man. An illustra-
tion of this was given at the moving
picture show the other night. A
bright young lawyer took a fair young
lady to the show. and happening to
put his hand in his pocket he found
an orange there. He slipped it into
the young lady's hand and intended
to whisper in her little ear the legal
equivalent for the layman's express
sion: Here is an orange for you
dear. +" 1t happened, however, that
he had been for several weeks engaged
in very deep case concerning a
well-and he had got so saturated
with the language of the decisions and
opinions on the subject he has read
that he totally forgot where he was
and his penetrating voice conveyed to
the entire audience the following leg
al form of donating property. the
operator obligingly stopping the pic
ture machine during the extra perfor-
nance:

The regular services will be held
the coming Sunday at the usual hours
in charge of the pastor. His morning
theme will be. ''The Lords Battle. !"
The evening sermon will be of evan

very anxious for every member and
friend of the church to be present.
During next week the pastor will
hold series Of special services every
evening, save Saturday, to which
every member and friend is urged
to be present. The only reason for
having these meetings is that we may
all be mutual helpers together in at

is good opportunity to be well inn
proved. Certainly the conditions are
ripe, and the field is already white

effort to attend every service. By

on Monday and brought back John
and Frank Roby, who were under ar
rest there as the result of the efforts
of Herman Ecklund to trace down the
persons who stole a team of horses
from him OH Oct. 2, 1911, from his
farm in the township of Stevens.
They were found in a lumber camp
near Messaba by Mr.. Ecklund, and
arrested and brought to Duluth. The
accused men deny their guilt. No
trace has been found of the horses.

OBJECT LESSON TO FARMERS
Method Used by Potato Growers in
Maine.

Methoo CSSd ny Fotalo GFoWSrS ire
Maine.
The potato growers of Aroostook
county, Me, have not only so de-
veloped the industry that the yield
per acre is larger than in any other
part of the United States-often
reaching from six to ten times as many
bushels as are harvested from the
average Minnesota acre-but they are
giving the country some valuable OBJ
ject lessons In the care of the crop
after it is gathered, and in the care
of their machinery. AS says the Colo
RADIO News Notes:
There is no machinery standing
out doors on farms in Aroostook coun-
ty, Me. Potato houses are built so that
the basement stands in a slight rise or
knoll and is surmounted by neatly
framed and painted wooden building,
which has an inclined driveway lead
ing to it and is used as machine
shed. During potato harvest the ma
wagons drive in on the upper floor,
through which the potatoes are poured
into the tail bins beneath. The base
ments have cement floors and are
equipped with good stove and chin
ney"
Barring the possibility that the
Aroostook potato fields draw some
benefit from the proximity of the
ocean they would seem to have no ad-
vantage over those of Northern Min
nesota; and our farmers might derive
considerable profit from study Of
the methods by which our neighbors
in Maine secure such remarkable
crops.-C. R. Barns. Minnesota Univer-
sity Farm.
