To Clean Glass Oven Doors.

Glass front ovens are frequently
complained Of as not sufficiently light
and clear to be satisfactory. Such
glass doors will do their duty If the
housekeeper does hers, for the glass
needs frequent thorough washing on
both sides with some fine securing
powder or securing soap; ordinary
soap and water will not accomplish the
results desired, as in baking the fumes
and steam generated sometimes make
coating difficult to remove. In addi-
ton a small searchlight may be used
where stoves are not we'll placed for

Care Of Breeding Stock,

Prospects are indeed bright for good
prices for live stock of all kinds for
some years to come. If we are going
to make the most of our opportunity
we should take the best care possible
of the breeding stock this winter. Give
them comfortable quarters, plenty CT
bedding and the right kind of iced
that they may be in the best Of condi.
ton for the coming year.

TO PREPARE LAND FOR CORN
Frequent Use Of Harrow and Disk
Previous to Planting Time Is Rec
commended by Expert.

(By o. M. OLSON. Minnesota Experiment
Station.)
The preparation of land for the COM
Ing corn crop should receive special
attention. There is an absolute GER
tainty that a large amount of weak
seed Is going to be used this year,
and every possible assistance should
be given to promote its termination,
principally in the preparation of tire
seed bed
If com is to be expected to grow
readily, it must have a small amount
of air, some moisture and sufficient
warmth. The proper combination of
these conditions is best obtained in
well-worked, mellow seed bed. Such
preparation of the seed bed not only
conserves soil-moisture and destroys
weeds, but it also warns the soil TO
an appreciate extent. A frequent use
of the harrow and the disk, previous
to planting time, not only prepares
the seed bed in the various ways men,
toned, but every one of the opera
tons may justly be called cultiva-
ton of the growing crop, even though
the seed is still implanted.
In the case of spring blowing, the
repeated use of the harrow may put
the surface in excellent condition,
and still leave the bottom of the fur
row slice in a poorly prepared con-
dition. 1t is much better to continue
the working of spring blowing with
the harrow and the disk, as this adj
ditional work has tendency to COM
pact the furrow slice and improves
the conditions of growth. BY all
means, properly prepare the seed bed
for this years corn crop.

SiIo Is Necessity.

Nearly all of the best dairymen like
to supply some feed to their cows even
when on the best of pastures, both for
its food value to the cows and for it's
manurial value to the pastures and
nothing is more convenient for this
purpose than good silage. Every farm
er who feeds live stock cannot well
afford to be without silo. Just lit
tie experience in the use of silage will
convince any man that the silo is an
absolute necessity.

From two to three inches Of silage
should be removed from the entire
surface of the silo daily during the
summer months and at least half Of
this amount in the winter. In the
above-ground silos the silage may be
dug loose with a silage fork and al

into the cart or carriers and fed where
DESIRED or it may be dropped directly
into a cart, carrier, or wagon, and

WINTER FEED FOR THE cows
Important for Dairyman to Provide an
Abundance of Different Feeds to

CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE)

w " VI W III It n II NF7I ND3NI1'I
During the winter months it is gen.
orally found difficult to provide such
food as is necessary for the dairy cow
TO keep up the regular flow of milk.
At this season of the year feed is
generally scarce-the proper kind for
the dairy cow-and that which we
have on hand is often of an inferior
quality
After coming off the green fresh
grass they do not relish such dry feed
and being Of an inferior quality one
will soon notice a great decrease in
the flow of milk.
For this reason it is very important
for the farmer to try to provide an

TRULY SERVE THE STATE.

When the sixty fourth congress
meets in Washington next week our
statesmen should realize that the first
step in the true and laudable undertak
ing of preparedness is to make repre-
sentative government ring true. This
is decidedly no time for serving selfish
interests; nor for playing party politics.
A government for which men may have
to Law down their lives for in time OF
need ought to be honestly and fairly
dealt with, both in peace and in war.
The senator, or representative, will play
the best politics, will serve his party
best, who serves his country best in
this important crisis.

Senator Hustina Commended.

Ellis B. Usher: United States Sena-
tor Paul o. Husting delivered an ad-
dress to his own townspeople of May
vile recently that is to be commended
for its American sentiments and for its
patriotic support of the president and
government Of the United States. 1t
is all the more to be commended be-
cause of the courage manifested in
addressing an audience which was
composed largely of people of German
blood, the members of the local
Gasangverein Teutonia of Mayville,
who were celebrating the sixty third
anniversary of the founding of their
society. Referring to the unity of the
German people the senator drew a
lesson that it deserved the emulation
of Americans and concluded with the
words: "Our country should be our
first, our second and our last con-
Sideration."

Unable to offer arguments against
the policies of the Wilson administra-
ton, some Tories are bearing false
witness against the president and are
assailing him in a purely personal and
domestic matter in which the public
have no direct concern. This is what
Leslies Weekly, which stands for
government for property by property,
is doing. 1t is a cowardly kind OF
political warfare; and it will be re-
buked by every man with an honest,
manly heart, and by every woman, too,
with true. womanly heart.

Referring to the attacks made on
