FARMER RADFORD ON
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The home is the greatest contri. button of wonren to the world and the hearthstone IS her throne Our social structure is built around her, and social righteous ness is in her charge. Her beau tffuI life lights the skies of hope and her refinement Is the charm of twentieth century civilization Her graces and her power are the cumulative products of gen erations of queenly conquest, and her crown of exalted womanhood Is jeweled with the wisdom oi saintly mothers. She has been great factor in the glory of oui country. and her noble achieve ments should not be marred or her hallowed influence tIghted by the coarser duties of citizen ship. American chivalry should never permit her to bear the bur dens of defending and maintain ing government, but should pre- serve her unsullied from the al lied influences of politlc., and protect her from the weighty re sponsibilities of the sordid affair of life that will crush her ideals and lower her standards. The motherhood of the farm is our inspiration, she is the guardian of our domestic welfare and g guide to higher life, but direct ing the affairs of government is not within woman's sphere, and political gossip would cause her to neglect the home, forget to mend our clothes and burn the biscuits.

THE BITTER ROT IN APPLES
Spraying With Bordeaux Mixture ls
 Effective Cumulative Method.

There is every reason to expect bad year for bitter rot this year. and there is only one way to fight it. Prun- ing last winter would have helped. AL so spraying about June 20 would have aided But it is now too late for either of these and should the dread ed bitter rot appear in your orchard it means either fight or quit.
 The way to fight is to spray at once with homemade Bordea mixture then, as soon as the orchard has been covered go over 1t again with the same mixture Everything depends upon getting perfect coating of the mixture on the fruit early in the fight. After the first double spraying, a sin gle spraying with the same mixture after two weeks will be necessary. Af. ter this it will depend upon the weather how much other spraying must be done.
 The Bordeaux mixture Is made of bluestone, ten pounds. good fresh lime. ten pounds. water to make hundred gallons. The mixture is made by A special method that cannot be ex. plained here for want of space. Full directions may be had by getting Bull letfn IA and Circular 21, from the Ex. pertinent Station at Fayetteville.

Experiment Poultry Expert Suggests Practical Method of Preserving Eggs During Hot Months of Sum. ner Season.

Eggs get very cheap in the summer season, and the producer Is reluctant to dispose of his supply, knowing that the eggs are forced down in price at this time for storage The producers should and can enjoy the profit of their eggs. The eggs are bought at low figure and placed in storage ana held for the raise of the market. Tho producer can do the same thing
 Water glass is safe method for storing eggs. To Is gallons of water that has been. boiled and allowed to cool, add one gallon of water, sodium silicate and stir thoroughly. Pour th1s solution in receptical and keep in cool place A cellar or basement that is well ventilated is good
 Place the eggs ill the solution as gathered. Do not allow the eggs to set around several days before plac- ing them in the solution. Fill the re cepticles with eggs to within about two inches of the top, allowing for a good covering of the solution over the eggs.
 The males should be separated from the females when the eggs are placed in storage. Fertile eggs will not keep in good condition like sterile eg,S. Eggs that are sterile, gathered and packed promptly will keep in perfect condition for several months.
 Good receptieles are earthen jars, 50 pound lard cans or five gallon kero- sene cans with tops melted off. Any farmer can use the method as describ- ed above with safety, but he must be very careful to pack a select article.
 Eggs to be packed should be can died, unless known to be perfectly fresh and even then. candling is q good prscaution.

Ten Reasons For a Silo.

L The maximum of forage crops can be saved for livestock feeding purposes.
 ?. Forage crops in the form of si. lage are eaten without waste.
 g. The crop remains in form which is not only nutritious, but also succulent and therefore, paIatable.
 4 The crop is stored in a conve- nient place and in compact form. About four times more dry matter in forage crops can be stored in a given space in the sffo than by field curing and storing Tn the now.
 5. Making silage out of forage crops Is the most economical way to harvest them under all conditions.
 6. The abundance of favorable years can be stored to be utilized dur. ing years of scarcity.
 z The silo makes abunda.t succu. lent forage possible the year round.
 8. The addition of silage to the ra. ton improves the whole ration.
 g. The cost of the ration is ma. terially reduced by the feeding of si- lage with all classes of livestock
 10. The silo makes it possible to keep livestock on every farm. This means diversified farming and the growing of forage crops which are the surest crops.

In his report to c. " Watson, state agent in cooperative extension work in Arkansas. ". H. Carpenter, dem- onstration agent of Chicot county. gives the following interesting figures showing that Arkansas farmers are not blowing away their billions" on cotton alone;
 "L. J. Rigg of Ashton, in 1914 plant. cd 50 acres in cotton; this year he has only 40
 "F. o. Andrews of Mason, one of the larger planters of Chicot county last year planted 1,200 acres to cot ton and this year he reduced those figures to 500
 J. B. Lewis of Lake Village, who last year planted 75 acres over in the South's great staple has none this years. MT. Lewis says that any small raise in the price of cotton cannot justify cotton farming"

Farmer May Do Much in Decreasing E cost of Fertilizer Bills By Conserv
 ing Supply of Nitrogen.

The relation of soil baeteriology to soil fertility and the methods of pre- serving this fertility by means of these bacteria is gradually becoming a matter of study.
 A humber of the experiment sta tons are becoming interested in thls Work and it is time indeed that some thing was being done along this line. Expense to Farmer.
 < Fifty millions of dollars is the annual fertilizer bill of American farmers. Most of this is paid by far mers of twenty of the eastern states. as commercial fertilizers are used but very little, at present, in the middle west or western states. Nitrogen i3 usually the element of plant food which is lacking, and this Is also far more costly than any other clements Of plant foods. The supply of avail able nitrogen fertilizer, namely so- dIum nitrate is decreasing very rapid " while the demand is increasing In this way the fertilizer bill ef American farmers will in a few years be some thing enormous unless some new method is developed.
 The principle part played by bac, teria in soil fertility is the gathering or this much needed nitrogen and con- verting it into form available for plant food.
 Factors Aiding Bacteria.
 Some of the factors which aid the bacteria in this work are: the addi. tion of manure which adds not only plant food but large numbers of these bacteria; the addition of lime to cor. rect the acidity in acid soils as these bacteria cannot work in an acid me dium; the proper stirring of the soil which gives oxygen and sufficient aeration. and lastly: the growing of legume crops which is perhaps the greatest aid of any of the above men, tfoned factors in securing nitrogen for plant food
 Time For Results.
 The greatest difficulty encountered in this work is the fact that it takes two or three years and a series or crops to show any marked improve ment in a soil. but it is to be hoped that it will reach a state of develop ment where a soil will show a marked improvement in one year ard thus take the place of the nitrogenous com mercial fertilizers.

STEINKE-SEIDL LUMBER
COMPANY.

If you offer man good piece of
lumber, it must come from the COM
pany, of which H. H. Offerman is
president. Lest we forget, let us men
ton right here that the other officers
of the Steinke-Sedl Lumber company
are as follows: M. G. Hanson, secre-
tary, and Michael Seidl, treasurer.
Also, you seldom hear anything about
Michael, but generally it is Mike by
which he is universally known. The
main office of this company is at
Sleepy Eye, while there are branches
at Springfield, Golden, Morgan and
Clinton. The firm was organized for
business in 1898, and came to incor-
poration in the year of 1908. Every

rough or finished, building material,
such as plaster, lime, cement, building
board, sashes, doors, etc., while this
firm also handles a nice line of hard

Trade is found in the city and country
alike, with perhaps the excess being
in the country through the many
branches which cater to this side of
the business. Building material for
everything except air castles.

THEFIRST NATIONAL
BANK.

1t was in 1882 that this institution
was established, and it was in 1902
that it was nationalized. C. D. Crit
fifth is president; C. T. Jaffray, vice
president; w. w. Smith. cashier; H.
C. Domeier, assistant cashier In the
interim between it's opening and the
time for being nationalized, this bank
was operated as private business.
Mr. c. D. Griffith and w. w. Smith
have been connected with the bank
since it's very inception. An ex-
tremely large real estate mort
gage loan business is done at
this place, through the large num-
Der of clients this bank maintains
throughout the United States, thus in
creasing their loaning capacity far be-
yond ordinary proportions. The proud
and convincing claim is made with
perfect truth that in this connection of
making loans for outside parties, not
one dollar has ever been lost to either
bank or clients. This also bespeaks
worlds for the prosperity of the COM
munity in which the First National is
located. A speciality is made of COL
lections, and choice lot of Mime
sofa mortgages are to be had for SALE
The general modus operandi of this
bank is we'll known and the success
which has crowned it's efforts thus far
bids fair to continue far into the flu
ture.

BERKNER BROTHERS.

One of the oldest firms in not only
this part of the country but in the
entire state as we'll, is that of Berkner
Brothers. This concern is a strong
firm, conservatively progressive one,
as the result of years of experience in
what the people want and when they
want it. All that can be desired in
dry goods, ladies' ready to wear gar
ments, gents furnishings, notions,
silks, dress goods, corsets, underwear,
lingerie, haberdashery, shoes for
men, women and children, and gro
ceries in both staple and fancy lines
find a temporary home on the shelves
of Berkner Brothers. We say "tem-
porary'' advisedly, for the quick turn
ing of all stock by this firm is one of
the sure signs of live business. The
thing that is played up the strongest
is the ladies' ready to wear garments
A good local trade is commanded at
all times, but the bulk of the sure fire,
steady all the year round trade, flows
in from the country, taking a radius
of fifteen miles to do it in, too. Prod
uce is bought and sold and handled
in trade. This company is popular
one in Sleepy Eye, and deservedly so,
through their honest system of deal
ing and personal handling

r. H. BINGHAM & SONS.

The Indians who formerly lived on
this townsite of Sleepy Eye were wont
to manufacture their paints for war
dance and festival. Today they would
HE themselves to R. H. Bingham &
Sons and secure an article in the
manner of paints that would put their
crude product in the shade. And the
up-to-date buyers in Sleepy Eye are
buying their paints of this concern
right along, and what is more, they
are purchasing their hardware of all
kinds, shelf and heavy variety, their
lumber for general purposes, and their
fuel supply, all from the same COM
Pany, namely, R: H. Bingham & Sons.
This is positively the oldest concern
of its kind in this city, Kentucky nut
coal is big seller for cook stove use
in the city and it is specialized on.
Plumbing, heating and sewer work of
all kinds is given quick attention. Mr..
R. H. Bingham founded the business

WOOLDRIK GARAGE.

The agent for the Ford car in the
city of Sleepy Eye is the Wooldrik
Garage, which has been here in bust
ness since the year of 1914. When
first starting in, the entire business
was contained in the building 35x1OO,
but on account of the remarkable in
crease, removal to larger quarters
was imperative, so the Wooldrik Gar
age is now found in fine brick build
ing, 75xl00 feet in size, and amply
adequate to care for even the fast
developing trade of this concern. This
is the largest garage in Sleepy Eye,
and everything in the way of automo-
bile supplies, repairs and the like are
guaranteed to be handled in the first
class manner which has won this firm
SO many friends to date. Give them
a try out and you are sure to be
pleased. They are there all the time.
