The only leading horse producing
state that has larger per cent of
pure-bred stations than Minnesota is
Iowa, according to J. S. Montgomery,
secretary of the Minnesota Stallion
Registration Board and the Hawkeye
state is being pushed hard for SUI
premacy.
On March 10, 1915, there were
1875 pure-bred stations in Mime
sofa, an increase of "a per cent in
five years. On the same date there
were 1882 grade stations, de-
crease of IA per cent in FIVE years.
This remarkable increase in the use
of pure-bred sires, says Mr.. Mont
gomery, is largely due to the eff
cheney of the Minnesota stallion law,
one of the first two of it's kind en-
acted in this country. The law
makes it necessary for any animals
used for public service to re regis
tered either as grade or pure-bred.

missable disease and unsoundness,
and none will be admitted to pure
bred registry until after it's pedigree
has been carefully examined.
AS result of this law Minnesota
has made greater advance in the
value of horses per head during the
last seven years than any other Gen.
trail state save Wisconsin and Mich
igan. A year ago a Minnesota bred
stallion, Kolacia, owned by the Hurd
farm at Monticello, won the grand
championship at the Minnesota State
Fair over one of the largest fields of.
imported horses ever shown. Last,
year Minnesota farm horses were
worth $105,875,00O, or more than
the combined value, of all sheep,
swine, cattle and poultry.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
WILL BUY NEW SITE

Acting under authority given it by
the legislature, the executive council
of the Minnesota Historical society
has voted to purchase a new site for
the 100000 historical society build
ing adjoining the new capitol.
After long controversy with the
state board of control, the society
yielded last year and bought the
Merriam property, northeast of the
capitol at St. Paul, for $35,00O,, but
was not satisfied, and the legislature
allowed it to buy a new site, using
the society's own funds. It will now
buy the so-called Lamprey site at
Central and Cedar streets, just east
Of the capitol, for $4,000.
The original plan called for buy
ing the Lindeke property, adjoining,
paying $4,000 for the two tracts,
but the society has decided to- go
ahead with the building of the Lam
prey site alone. The Merriam prop
erty now belongs to the state, which
has no use for it but cannot sell
without legislative authority, and
the historical society is out $35,000.'

the people of the county are not II
and doing in behalf of the licensed
sale of liquor.
Liquor is sold in two centers OF
Polk county-Crookston and East
Grand Forks. The voters of these
two cities have by large majorities
approved of the license system. But
the other voters of Polk county are
now ITO have a vote in the decision
and the Times in it's worriment
brings out all the old staple argu-
ments for license:
More liquor consumed where
it is banned than where it is
=. licensed.
Elimination of the liquor
business spells bankruptcy for
Crookston.
1t means the loss Of $4,000
in city revenue, the closing of
the 100000 brewery, the end
of its $4,000 annual payroll,
of $4,000 paid to farmers for
barley annually, and of $685.
900 paid yearly for local bust
ness concerns for supplies.
1t means empty store build
ings, more expensive police pro-
lection from bootlegging and
blindpigging, increase of drunk
enness, crime and pauperism
Doubtless East Grand Forks,
which has for many years grown fat
on the profits of groggeries MAIN
tanned for the thirsty denizens of
Grand Forks across the river in dry
North Dakota, foresees similar ruin
and devastation, if Polk county goes
dry.
But experience has shown that all
these arguments are baseless Other
communities have heard them ex-
pounded with earnest eloquence, and
still have gone dry without mourning
even partial ruin. Stores that have
served for saloons find better use in
a more prosperous community. Courts
have less to do and jails are emptied.
1t is found that license money didn't
begin to pay the extra expenses en-
tailed on the public by liquor Other
grains profitably take the place of
barley in the farmers fields. En-
ployes of breweries find other and
better employment. The breweries
themselves have proved bad invest
ment for the community, when the
balance was fairly struck.
If Russia has found the efficiency
and prosperity of it's people wonder
fully increased by the abolition CT
vodka, we see no reason why Polk
county and its two cities should not
find it both morally and economically
advantageous to go dry.

FRESHNESS OF EGG
is NOT IMPORTANT
First Chicks Secured From Eggs
Allowed to Accumulate for
Several DAYS.

1t has been known that in every
hatch some eggs hatch first. The
universal opinion, considered not an
opinion, but a fact, has been that the
freshest eggs Matched earliest, but a
correspondent of the American Poul-
try Advocate states that he has found
Just the contrary to be the case. He
trapnests the hens from whom he
secures the Matching eggs, stamps the
number of the hen laying each egg
upon the shell, and also stamps upon
them the date of putting into the in
cubator.
Last season, a little before filling
the incubator, it occurred to him to
mark the eggs laid that day so as to
test put the theory of early Matching.
The specially marked eggs received
exactly the same care as the others,
but the surprising thing was to find
that the early chicks came, not from
the marked eggs, but from the others.
and to cap the climax, the percentage
of eggs Matching from the last laid
eggs was far below that of the earlier
laid eggs. If the late Matched eggs
had been laid by hens deficient in
vitality, there would have been a
reason for this, but the hens were all
tested breeders, and this explanation
could not hold. For a further test
eggs were dated and it was found
either that the date Of laying made no
apparent difference, or that eggs laid
ten days or so before setting were
slightly more likely to hatch early
than the latest laid eggs

P%ALATABILlTY OF
Different FEEDS
Care in Preserving Feeding Crops
viii Add Much to Their Nu-
tritive Value.

When animals are confined in a sta
BILE and must eat what is placed be-
fore them or starve, hunger leads them
to eat things which are not suitable
to their needs.
The manufacturers of continental
stock foods recognize the high value
Of p%alatability of feeds, and mix to-
gether fenugreek, gentian or various
other appetizers, to encourage cows
to eat larger quantities of unpalata-
BILE feeds.
The average dairy farmer fails to
take proper care in preserving his
feeding crops in such condition that
they will be most palatable and diges-
tible. II not palatable. they will not
be eaten, and If they are not digestible
they will produce no good results.
Much of the coarse forage and fod-
der given his cows finds its way into
the manure heap without being eaten,
simply because the cows did not like
it, and what is eaten fails to nourish
them as it should, for the reason that
1t is indigestible.
By cutting his hay and forage crops
at the right stage of their growth, he
can add largely to their palatability
and nutritive value.
