FARMER WISHES HE
HAD not SIGNED
FARMERS GENERAL SER
VICE co.
Claims to Buy and Sell for
Farmers Head Of the Com
pany is Now Under Indictment
for Fraudulent Use Of the
Mail.

A prominent farmer Of this county
has signed contract to purchase a
membership in the Farmers Gem
eral Service Company, of Minneapolis,
and now wishes that he had not, and
is resisting the payment of the
claim.
The Farmers General Service Com
pany claims to sell produce for its
members without commission and to
also make purchases for it's members
without charge. In return for it's
alleged services it requires the pay
ment of a membership fee of $50 a
year for five years or $50 in all.
The company a;so issues hand
somely engraved membership certifi-
cate, which is delight to the eye,
if nothing more.
An agent of the company has been
working in this county for week or
more
Several memberships" have been
sold here. Several members have
bought first and investigated after
wards.
The notes given for Membership"
in due time appear in the hands of an
alleged innocent purchaser, thus
making it difficult for the farmer to
resist payment.
The Farmers General Service
Company" has repeatedly been at
tackled by such reliable paper as the
Farm, Stock and Home, and as re-
suit of the activities of that paper,
the head of the company is under
Indictment charged with the fraudu-
lent use of the United States mails.
A recent issue of the Farm, Stock
and Home said
Some months ago Farm. Stock
and Home had occasion toscriticise the
methods of the Farmers General Ser
vice Company of Minneapolis, of
which S. P. Lesselyoung is the head.
The plan was to sell memberships
in the Farmers General Service Com
pany. for which it engaged to perform
services as buying and selling
agent. 1t is now charged that the
notes given were transferred to the
Empire Realty & Investment Company,
a Lesselyoung organization. for coll
lection. Protests we're made to the
postal authorities that the service
rendered gave no real benefits to the
farmer, and S. P. Lesselyoung is now
out on bail, charged by the United
States postofice department with
fraudulent use of the mails.

the Way to Hospital but Re
vived for a Moment.

Albert Peterson, formerly of Dom
nelly terrorized spectators in the union
station at Minneapolis by coming to
life after having been pronounced
dead, but died second later. The
body was brought to Donnelly for

home for many years with Bert John.

own parents being dead. He had gone
to the lumber camp to work during

The Pioneer Press of Tuesday con-
tanned the following account of his
death -
Pronounced dead by physician on
train that was racing with him to a
Twin Cities hospital. Albert Peterson,
21 years old, terrorized bystanders
in the Northern Pacific baggage room
at the Union Depot in Minneapolis
Monday night when he attempted to
arise from pile of trunks on which
he had been placed. Before aid could
be given he had succumbed.
The young man was hurried to
Moose Lake from Denham, Mimi.
where he had contracted pneumonia in
a lumber camp, and was placed on
a Northern Pacific train bound for
the Twin Cities. At North Branch,
Mimi, his condition seemed critical
and his brother ran through the train,
calling for physician.
DR.. Thomas Zeien of North Branch
responded. Peterson was apparently
dying whom the physician reached him.
The physician soon pronounced him
dead.
On reaching Minneapolis. Peterson
was removed to the baggage room.
Persons ran from the place in fear
when they saw the supposed corpse
move.
A peculiar light came into the
young mans eyes as he gazed for an
instant at the spectators and heard
their horror stricken cries. He fell
back on the trunks and died while the
police ambulance was speeding to the
depot.
When the ambulance arrived the
police surgeon attempted to restore
life with a pulmotur. but to no avail.
The boys parents are dead. The
body was taken to an undertaker's g
and sent to the old family home. Dom
nelly, Mimi, for burial.

RULES FOR RAISING
BEEF IN THE SOUTH
Bulletin of Department Of
Agriculture Contains 20
Suggestions for South
ern Farmers Who
Want to Increase
Incomes,

Washington, April 7.-Useful rules
for raising beef successfully in the
South are given in farmers bulletin
$50 just issued by. the United States
department of agriculture under the
title of Beef Production in the
South. After discussing in some de-
tail the Ha1t1sfe pasture lands and
grasses, the bulletin summarizes con-
ditions as follows:
Eradicate the tick on The farm.
Good pastures are essential for
profitable beef production,
Plant pasture grasses over the
waste lands.
Use pure bread beef bulls for grad
ing up the native stock.
Always select the best heifers for
breeding purposes.
Use the coarse fodder. straws, and
the stalk fields for wintering the
breeding herd.
,Wean the Gales when pastures ge.
short. Put them in the cornfield
and pea fields while weaving and
teach them to eat cottonseed cake or
cottonseed meal.
Raise the finish beef cattle on the
A mixture of cottonseed meal, cot
tonseed hulls, and alfalfa hay is a
good ration for fattening calves.
Silage is the best roughage for fat
tening any class of cattle.
More care is necessary in feeding
calves than in feeding grown cattle.
At the present prices corn silage
is a cheaper and better feed for fat
tening beef cattle than cottonseed
hulls.
Hulls and cottonseed meal make an
excellent feed for short feeding
period, but do not produce good
gains on cattle after the third
month.
1t is not entirely satisfactory to
use corn slower as the sole roughage'
When Johnson-grass hay costs $40
and bulls 81 per ton it is more prof.
table to feed the hulls alone.
Summer feeding on the pasture is
usually more profitable than winter
feeding.
Finishing cattle early in the sum-
mer is usually more profitable than
finishing them later in the season.
Fattening steers on gras and cot
tonseed cake is nearly always more
profitable than grazing them without
feed.
Thin steers make larger and
cheaper daily gains than fleshy ones
when put on pasture.
Pound for pound coldpressed cot
tonseed cake is not equal to the COM
mon cottonseed cake.
The use of small amount OF corn
in addition to cottonseed cake has
proven profitable for feeding steers
on grass.
The bulletin, with it's twenty pages
and nine illustrations, also contains
an interesting discussion of the varl-
GUS breeds most servicable in grad
ing up the native stock. 1t is sent
free on request.
