FARMERS ELEVATORS
DO A BIG BIJSTNESS

-.
Farmers elevators in Minnesota. 81
handling the crop of 1912, did bus
mess Of $24,O00,OO0. Of this amount
S22,OO0,OOO represents the value Of
grain marketed and the other $1,000
600 the value of supplies, such as
coal, feed, and Irvine, purchased for
members.
These figures are taken from a
bulletin on Statistics of .Co-opera-
ton Among Farmers in Minnesota"
by =. D. II. Weld, Chief Of the Divii-
sion Of Research in Agricultural
Economics, Of the University of Mip.>

The number of farmers elevators
in Minnesota is 27O, according to Mr..
Yields statistics, and the aggregate
membership in these companies is
81 800 or an average of 1923 of each
company. In all Of these 27O COM
panies farmers own a majority of the
stock, and in all but SIS per cent of
them each stakeholder has but one
vote irrespective Of the number Of
shares owned, in other words the eleN
vators are not only owned by the

POTATO CONTEST FOR
NORTHERN MINNEsOTA

; I {
Northern Minnesota will have a
potato contest for boys and girls this
year. Announcement to this effect
has been made by 7 "A Erickson of
the Extension Division of the Mime
sofa College of Agriculture, and of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, who is in charge of boys
and girls club work in Minnesota.
The contest is made possible thru
the cooperation Of country school SUI
perintendents high school agricul-
tural instructors, and county agents
with the Northern Minnesota Devel-
opment Association. The main rea-
son for this contest is the fact that
the boys in Northern Minnesota are
at a disadvantage in the corn con-
test. Potatoes, not corn, is the chief
crop in their section.
Any boy or girl between 10 and IA
years may enter. The southern
boundary Of this district is the south
line Of Wilkin, Grant, Douglas, Todd,
Morrison, Mile Laos, Kanabec and
Pine counties. Each lot must con
tain one-eighth Of an acre or more
The variety planted must be Of the
Rural New Yorker or Carmen type.
Final awards will be based on yield
economy Of production, quality Of an
exhibit Of fifteen pounds to be made
at the annual meeting Of the North
ern Minnesota Development Associa-
ton, and story Of how the potatoes
were grown.

we called up our friend ]. E. Ostrom,

nice little visit until our train left

Strandquist, MINI. Feb. 10, 1915.
Editor Sheaf:
In the Newfolden Review for Jan.
%, / notice an article from A. S.
Rokke in which he endeavors to ex-
plain away some things in regard to
the letting Of the county printing.
Mr.. Rokke refers there to state
ment in the Sheaf that it was neces-
sary for him to "crack the whip in
order to get the other three commits
sioners mentioned to fall in line" at
the awarding Of the. printing to-. be
done outside the county. The use
Of such domineering and autocratic
power is not proper, we take it, in a
body supposed to arrive at correct
conclusions by fair discussion Of
questions that concern the public. If
Mr.. Rokke were, president would he
consider it his duty to crack the whip
over all other citizens, and regard
them as his slaves, bound to do his
bidding and dance according to his
music at every turn? The rule of
the car Of Russia would be mild in
comparison to the tyrannical rule Of
Gar Rokke, judging from his rule in
county matters. In another place
Rokke refers to a Daniel safe among
the lions" Does he refer to us tax
payers as lions? It certainly seems

taxpayers, from whom he has taken

The communication of "a Citizen
in this issue of the paper calls atten-
ton to some pertinent facts worthy
of the most earnest consideration of
parents, city officials, teachers and
every person who has the welfare of
the growing generation at heart.
The thoughts expressed are such as
we feel are shared by a large num-
Der of our citizens. While we be-
lieve that the most efficient city
government and police system that
can be devised will not succeed in
making good citizens of every indi-
vidual, yet we believe in saving all
we can from going astray. Not
withstanding the very best intentions
there is no doubt much misdirected
effort in the training of children,
especially the boys. While examining
their young minds full Of facts we
are woefully neglecting their physi-
cal development at the growing pc
Rod of their lives. Certainly we
ought to have a gymnasium and a
skating rink also and the outdoor
playground acquired some years ago
ought to be made something more
than a place in which weeds are al
lowed to grow. It cannot de denied
that Warren has done much for its
young people in providing excellent
educational facilities and many
things that make for moral and in
tellectual uplift, but as "a Citizen
points out, we have shirked much
that we ought to have done. We
believe in cooperation and in the
past, surely, there has not been the
proper cooperation between parents
and city and school authorities in
caring for the young. Some even
seem to delight in placing pitfalls in
their way. We would like to discuss
this question, which always has been
near to our heart, more fully, but
time and space prevents it this week.
But we ask all citizens to consider
the criticisms offered by "A Citizen
in the friendly manner in which it is
given, to the end that some condi-
tons spoken Of may be improved

THE FARM WORK HORSE

This subject is ably treated by
Prof w. Dietrich, Of the Crookston
Experiment Farm, who is well
known authority on feeding Of farm
animals. In discussing the draft
horse he considers this animal as one
Of the most important animals on the
farm. Except on few farms where
the work is done by means Of farm
power machinery the horse comes in
to play in all kinds Of farming. The
proper development, use and hand
ling of horses, therefore, is. a subject
that ought to be Of general interest.
Possibly the. kind Of horse to be used
on the farm viii depend somewhat on
the character. of the farm. Small
farms with limited capital and that
do not intend to grow horses for mar
ket may be justified in growing and
using smaller horses and even some
times ponies but as general rule the
draft horse with considerable size,
and therefore, live weight, is prefer
able both for farm work and to be
grown and solds as one Of the pros
ducts of the farm. g; .8.is ~:
"A good horse is first bred. and Sc
cond, fed and developed. A grow
ing colt like all other growing ami
mails needs to have a properly bal
anced ration which includes the feeds
that will furnish the required amount
of mineral matter, protein, carbohy-
drate, fat and also water. From the
roughage standpoint there are no
better feeds for growing colts than
good sweet clover and alfalfa hay.
From the grain standpoint oats is
considered the universal horse feed
but this may be substituted in part
by corn. When timothy hay its be-
ing used for the development Of the
colt it should be understood that this
is deficient insprotein, consequently,
some flax, oil meal or other nitro
genous feed should be added to the
ration.
Mature horses do not have as much
need for protein as the growing colt,
consequently, these may be fed a ra-
ton containing less protein, and tim
othy hay is usually considered to be a
good feed from, The roughage stand
point for the full grown horse. This
together with the required amount Of
oats or oats and corn with plenty Of
salt and water will give the I. horse
pretty fair treatment. Some people
make the mistake in feeding. their
horses too lightly during the winter.
While it is true that the horse: need
not be highly fed except when it is
at hard labor, nevertheless, the horse
should be sufficiently we'll fed during
the winter so that it can go into the
season Of springs work with plenty
Of reserve energy. It is a well known
fact that during this season of the
year most horses go down in flesh,
consequently, if they start in ! poor
they cannot do the work that is nee
essary during that season and that
means SO much for the success of the
farm. Another point worthy of
consideration is that the farm horse
should be given sufficient exercise
throughout the winter to keep it in
good health and that towards spring
they should be given regular work to
get them accustomed to hard labor
and get their shoulders and necks
hardened so they will not suffer from
collar boils and sore necks as hard
work begins

INDIRECT TAX.

"To levy a,direet taS. of 7.per
cent ia.a dangerous experiment in
g free country, and may incite re-
volt; but there is a method. by
which you can tax the last rag from
the back and the last bite m,the
mouth, without causing murmur
against high taxes; and that is to
tax great many articles of daily
use and necessity, SO indirectly that
the people will pay them. and not.
