have been better still to pillow earlier
in the season and after good rain
and SOW to sweet corn for forage later
on; then In the fall replow and allow
the land to be rough all winter If the
soil was heavy.
In the early spring l plowed and
disked again and planted crop that
needs cultivation, so that by setting
time in the following spring the
strawberry plants could be safely set
out. This cannot be done for good re-
suits before, because of the quanti-
ties of white grubs found In a soil
of this nature. Most Of these grubs
were destroyed by the winter and the
following cultivated crop, and the soil
was left in ideal condition for straw
berries. So good was 1t that the
first and second crops, handled with
a little care and attention, gave me
a good price for the labor spent in this
long preparation of the soil.

KEEP THE COWS CLEAN
Pure Milk Cannot Be Secured
From a Filthy Animal.
Curry Comb and Brush as Essential In
Dairy Barn as In Horse Stable
Remove Bedding From the
Stalls Every Day.

The curry comb and brush are just
as essential to the health, comfort and
appearance Of the COW as they are to
the horse. Clean, pure milk cannot be
had from a filthy cow A well ar
ranged barn and plenty of bedding as
sist greatly in keeping the COW in
a sanitary condition at all times.
BY the use of good stanchions the
cows are kept much cleaner than where
they are simply tied with rope or
halter, as by the use of stanchions the
cows are not able to back off and lie
down in the manure, as they do with
other methods Of stabling. Straw is
usually cheap and plentiful on most
dairy farms, and it does not pay to
neglect to bed the COW well. The bed
ding should be removed from the stalls
every day, and fresh litter provided.
The manure should be hauled from the
barn to the field or storage pit often,
every day or two If possible to prevent
it from being a breeding place about
the barn for flies, disease germs and
bad doors which faint the milk.
1t is good plan to disinfect the
stables occasionally, whether there is
any apparent reason for it or not. It
is not expensive, can do no harm
and does much good in the way of de.
stroying lice and disease germs.
Where enough cows are kept to make
1t profitable it is advisable to use
milking machines, as we believe milk
can be produced much cleaner in this
way than can possibly be done by hand
milking.
Where hand milking is necessary
see that the hands are always clean
before milking, and use covered pail.

COW well each morning at least half

INJURY BY CORN RooTWoRM
Insects Are More or Less Abundant In
All Of corn-crowIng States Of
Mississippi Valley.

By J. TROOP, Purdue Experiment Sta
tlon.)
Numerous letters have been re-
ceiyed by this station, concerning two
cornroot insects, viz, the corn root.
worm and the corn rootaphis. II is
evident that these insects are more or
less abundant in all of the corn-grow-
ing states of the Mississippi valley.
The corn rootworm has destroyed
millions of dollars worth of corn dur
ing the last thirty years for farmers,
and yet 1t is one of the easiest species
of insects to control, when once the
farmer becomes acquainted with its
habits. Like most insects OF this
class, 1t Is useless to attempt to hold
It in check by the application Of pol
sons; 1t covers too much territory,
and, during the period when 1t does
its injury, is concealed beneath the
surface Of the soil. As one becomes
better acquainted with its life history,
therefore, the more evident II becomes
that the application of good, up-to-date
farming methods is the only remedy
needed.
AS the larvae do not feed upon any
thing but the corn roots, II Is evident
that II a regular rotation of crops is
practiced, so that corn Is grown on
the same soil only once or twice In
three or four years, there win be no
chance for the insects to increase.

an hour before milking time, which
should always be regular, and rub the
udder well with a brush or burlap
sack, to remove all dirt and dust that
might get into the milk.
Dry, well-drained and well.kept feed
lots assist greatly in keeping the COWS
clean, hence, also in producing clean
milk. Where cows are compelled to
stand all day in wet or muddy feed
lot, unless much care is used, the eve
ming milk will be far from pure. A
naturally high, dry and well-drained
location is advisable for the feed lot
during winter and spring, and If 1t can
be graded and stoned 1t is much better.
1t is preferable to have the feeding
pens provided with feed racks, in place
of feeding on the ground. as the COW
is a very clearly animal. and will not
readily eat soiled food II It can be
avoided.

FACTS REGARDING WEED SEED
North Dakota Experiment Station
Makes Interesting Test With DIFF.
ferent Noxious Plants.

In a weed experiment at the North
Dakota experiment station, seeds Of
French weed, green foxtail. kinghead,
wild mustard, wild buckwheat, and
wild oats were planted at depths of
one, two, three, five, seven and ten
inches. The greatest depth from which
French weed came up was two inches;
green foxtail, three inches; kinghead,
mostly from two and three inches, q
few from five inches; wild mustard,
three inches; wild buckwheat, three
inches; wild oats, few from five
inches.
The next year few French weeds
came w from the one and two-inch
depths; no green foxtail; few king
head from the one to five-inch depths;
no wild mustard or wild buckwheat,
and few wild oats from the two-inch
depth.
In i've years the seeds we're dug up.
None Of the seeds at the one and
two-inch depths were left A few
of the French weed seeds at the seven
and ten-inch depths grew. OF the green
foxtail. one seed from the tive-inch
depth grew, and one-sixteenth of those
buried ten inches terminated. OF the
kinghead, only few Of the seeds from
the teninch depth grew. or the wild
mustard, a few of the three-inch
depth and nearly half of those buried
ten inches grew, and one-fourth Of
those from the seven-inch depth. All
Of the wild oats and wild buckwheai
seeds were dead.

"BOLOGNA" OBJECTS

Bologna" Pullman's lone China
man, registered strenuous objection
to the plan of the Chamber of Com
merce to secure his commitment to
the county poor farm, arguing that
he Is perfectly able to care for him
self Other reasons than this have
been discovered, however, and it is
probable that the wish of the Chink
will be realized and that he will be
permitted to spend his remaining
days in Pullman. The inmates of
the poorfarm do not have separate
sleeping quarters, but several of
them are put together in large rooms.
1t is probable that, under these con-
ditions, the advent of Bologna" into
the sanctity of the home would cause
a small sized instruction, and the
county commissioners probably will
not entertain such a plan.
Action will be taken toward secur-
ing county allowance for the China
man to assist him in ekeing out a
living during his few remaining
days.

Mayor Is Reelected by Overwhelm-

Shaw. n. Scott Wins
Hands Down in First

The citizens of Pullman placed
the brand of approval on the adj

terms when they returned him vic
tor in his race with DR.. A. e. Shaw
for the mayoralty position by an
overwhelming majority, the total
vote being 315 to 70, or better than
four to one in favor of the present
mayor. Each Of the four precincts
gave Mayor Jackson a substantial
majority, and the result was never
in doubt from the time that the first
dozen ballots were counted. The big
surprise of the election came in the
First ward, where J. N. Scott, a

showed his heels to both George

on the immigration question. He
has resided in Japan for more than
% years and thoroughly . under
stands the character and viewpoint
of the Oriental races. He asserted
that the Japanese do not demand or
expect that they be admitted to the
United States in unlimited numbers
but that their grievance against this
country is that the japanese now
here are Disseminated against and
regarded as an inferior race. In
1868 the whole policy of Japan was
changed Up to that time the ma
ton had looked to the past and fol-
lowed established presidents, but
since then the nation has been look
ing to the future, and studying and
adopting the civilization of the Oc-
cident.
He advocated that the immigra-
ton laws of this country be changed
so as to limit the maximum number
of immigrants admitted from any
foreign nation in any one year to a
certain fixed per cent of the people
of that country who have become
citizens of the United States. He
suggested five per cent as the basis.
He further urged that all aliens re
siding in the United States should be
registered and educated and allowed
to become citizens on passing pre-
seribed examinations.

as severe traumatism of the right

In the total claim of s2330 are
items of $500 for pain and suffer-

.FORTN|GHTLY CLUB
HOLDS OPEN MEETING
Delight Their Guests With Pro-
gram as Novel as 1t Was Clever
and Amusing

The Fortnightly club held its an
nual open meeting at the home OF
Mrs. E. A. Bryan Thursday evening
of last week. After the members
and their invited guests had assem-
bled to the number of about 100,
they were escorted to the large play
room in the basement which had
been transformed into a miniature
theatre, minus a stage. A very
amusing one-act farce, THE First
Women's Jury" was presented by
Mesdames, McCully, Cleveland,
Bake, Steele, Hanley, Akers, Camp
bell, Folger, Foster, Watt, Boiler
and Roberts and J. w. Mathews,
who played the part of the long
suffering and much Disguised sheriff.
The ladies had been coached by Mrs.
Dean Foster and carried on their
deliberations with a disregard of
law and precedent, as remarkable
as their costumes, and kept the audi
ence in roar of laughter and APP
plause.
After the farce the company re-
turned to the parlors and each one
was given a typewriter short story
and asked to find the names OF the
Fortnightly members, which were
concealed in it. When all had
racked their brains over the puzzle,
it was announced that the pictures
of the club members would be
thrown upon screen in the order
in which their names appeared in
the story. These pictures made the
big hit of the evening for they were
photographs of the matrons taken
when they were infants or young
girls and touched up for the occa'
sion by Prof. Melander, who, in col
laboration with Mrs. Melander, also
wrote the story in which the name'
we're so cleverly concealed.
At the conclusion of the picture
show. ice cream, cake and coffee
were served by a number of college
girls, while the guests complimented
their hostesses upon the clever and
amusing program.
