THE MIsTLEToE.

With Christmas cheer the hall is bright,
At friendly feud with winters cold:
There's many merry game tonight
For maids and men, and young and old
And winter sends for their delight
The holly with It's crimson glow.
And paler than the glistening snow
The mistletoe, the mistletoe
The mistletoe, the mistletoe
The wan and wanton mistletoe!
Chance conner to our festal ewes,
Dear crimson breasted holly sprite!
Thee, Robin, too, the hall receives,
Unbidden, whom our hearts invite. ~.
And, perched among the Grumpy leaves,
He cocks his head and sings "Hullo!.
The lnistletoe, the mistletoe
Hangs up above, but what's below?
Oh, what's below the mistletoe?
The mistletoe the mistletoe!
A kindly custom sanctions bliss
That's ta'en beneath the wanton bough
Who laughs SO low? Why, here it is!
Look, Jenny, where l have you now!
Dear bashful eyes, sweet lips-a kiss!
All, cheeks can mock the holly's glow!
For what's below the mistletoe?
All, ha! Why, it is Cupid O!
All, ha! Below the mistletoe
TITS Cupid O, tbs Cupid O!

"CHRlST'S POOR" AT CHRIST.
MAS.

One of the sweetest of all the
Christmas superstitions is prev
alent in parts of Germany
Long ago a poor little clock
maker who loved above all things
to go to church received Christ
mas gift OF a large red apple.
He was supremacy happy be-
cause he had something to give
to the dear Christ Child. Hasten
. ing to the altar Of the church, he
placed the precious apple on the
. marble hands of the Babe in
Mary's arms.
Instantly the tiny fingers closed
over it and smile of heavenly
joy swept over thea chubby face.
This happened long, long ago,
but the people in the vicinity still
give to Christ through his poor
; at Christmas time, believing that
the gift bestowed upon lone of
; the least of these" is received
by the Christ Child himself, and
; rewarded by the same blessed
. smile which brought JOY and
; comfort to the little clockmaker.

Barnyard Manure.

Questions concerning the handling
of barnyard manure come to the
Northwest Experiment Station,
Crookston, frequently. Prof F. L.
Kennard, the station agronomist,
gives few notes regarding the pro-
blem but states that if a farm is weed
ridden different procedure should
be followed. Anyone further interest
ed should write to the Station. He
goes on to say that in going over the
Northwestern part of the state one is
impressed with the waste of barnyard
manure. On a great many farms no
attempt at all is made to care for it.
If all farmers realized the value Of
this important by products, less waste
would occur.
When we consider that the average
farm animal produces from to z
tons per 1000 pounds live weight per
year and that the value if stated in
terms Of commercial fertilizer is ap-
proximately $3.50 per ton, one can
estimate very quickly and accurately
the value of this by-product Of his
live stock. This applies to the man
ure as it leaves the stable. Where it
is piled under the caves and left for
months the value may be reduced SO
per cent by fermenting, teaching, etc.
The best way under most conditions
is to take it directly from the barn to
the field. No heating and consequent
loss of nitrogen in the form Of am
monia occurs and all the soluable
parts which are the essential parts of
plant food leach out and enter the
soil. Little, if any, of the value Of
the manure is lost
Aside from the fertility added to
the soil there are several other ben
efts derived. The organic matter
improves the physical condition Of the
soil and makes it easier to handle.
The decay of this material produces
some heat. It's presence aids chem
ical and bacterial processes. It alb
serbs and holds a large amount of
water. It helps aeration of the soil.
The benefits of these indirect aids to
plant growth are in some cases as
great as the fertilizer value.

COMMUNICATION IN REGARD
TO COUNTY PRINTING.

Editor Sheaf:
The time Of the year is drawing
near for the letting of the county
printing. thought express
ing my views on this subject at this
time would be appreciated by your
readers. | will fronkly admit that
the county printing for the past sea-
son has not been as satisfactory as I
would like to have seen it; though, it
was done with the good intention Of
saving the county money. have,
after due consideration of this mat
ter, fully decided that the county
printing should be done by one of
our prominent newspapers having a
good established business reputation
and circulation among the people
that were kind enough to vote for
me. do hope and trust that when
the bids are presented to us for con-
sideration in this matter for the COM
ing year that they will come to us
from each paper wishing to present
a bid on the county printing, free and
independent from any understanding
or agreement between the printers
as to who is to be the lowest bidder.
If you will do this I will agree to use
my influence in placing the bid
where it will do the most good for all
concerned. / further wish to state
that bear no i'll will against any
person for any criticism they have
expressed either through their re-
spective newspapers or otherwise.
My feeling is this that we should
stand shoulder to shoulder for the
best interest of our county.

The Toll of Tuberculosis.

During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1915, it is estimated that 100000
600 meat animals were killed in the
United States. Those killed under
Government supervision totaled
about 5S,OO0,000, and of this number
100000 were condemned as unfit for
food This indicates that Is per
cent of all meat animals are unfit for
human use. AS tuberculosis is the
principal cause for condemnation, it
is evident that we are paying a heavy
toll to this disease in the livestock
industry.-Farm Progress.

An Appropriate Gift.

When you cannot find the right
kind Of a Christmas gift to send to
your friend who resides out of town,
we suggest that you send them a
years subscription to the Sheaf. In
all n1odesty we can truthfully say
that there are many who appreciate
and enjoy it fully as much as they
would some token that would cost
many times more than the paper
!! Take, for instance, your friends or
relatives in a distant state who once
lived in or near Warren and who re-
tain fondness for old acquaintance.
Don't you think they would find much
satisfaction and get a great deal Of
pleasure out Of reading copy Of the
Sheaf once week during the coming
year? And wouldn't they be CRATE
full to the person who was thoughtful
enought to send them the paper?
If you want to make gift that
will be enjoyed during the entire
twelve months of the year, a sub
script1on to the Sheaf is the thing.
And then, too, it is not expensive.

THE JEWISH QUESTION.-As a
Jew of cosmopolitan ideas, and feel
ings, wish to offer a few remarks
on the solution of the Jewish ques-
ton"
The mind of the Europeans are
ever haunted with the Jewish spec
ter. ~ They claim that the Jew will
not intermarTy, will not cross his
blood nor his ideas with his fellow
men of other races.
The fact is that the Jew has mixed
his blood and has absorbed the ideas
and assimilated the habits of his sur
rOundings whenever and wherever he
has been given the freedom and lib
eTty to mingle with his fellOwmen.
He has been charged with being a
money maker essentially. That
charge is untrue, and were it so it
would be something in his favor. Is
it not true that we early imbibe the
idea that success spells the accumu-
latiOn of wealth?
Is it not a fact that men like
Rockefeller and Carnegie are held up
as models to children at school?
Then why consider the carrying out
of your own highest ideals by the
Jews as wrong? Because it is to the
of the ruling classes to
spread the gospel of racial hatred
and animOsity among the ruled
classes.
If the Jews are merely money-get-
ting animals it is because for long
ages the hand Of persecution gave
them no other outlet, but forced them
into the field of commerce. Why
blame a certain body of people for
competing when the social system is
competitive? If you wish to put an
end to the gaining of wealth by the

TAX TROUBLES

TAX TROUBLES.-Why don't your
paper expose firms like the Tax Pay
ers' Alliance? These parties pretend
to stand in with the courts and send
solicitors around to property owners
who receive notice of assessments
against their property and then send
you a bill for services after they de-
lay your improvements two or three
years. I am a poor man and signed
up for one of these sharks and now
they threaten to sell my property if
don't pay them for what they claim
to have saved me. My assessment is
pretty high and I don't see how any
poor man should be compelled to pay
for what the Board of Local Improve
ments should do free. Trusting you
will print this so others can write
their experiences.-MiIGe Smith.
