The Potato Situation.

Potato receipts in Princeton have
been heavy the past week up to yes
terday, when the rains made the
roads unfit for heavy hauling. The
prices that have been paid have been
slightly stronger than the quotations
published last week.
Thus far shipments from this point
have been light, due to a shortage of
cars, and an enormous quantity of
tubers are stored in Princeton.
Nearly all of the warehouses are
filled, and every available building
and basement in the village has been
secured by local buyers. 1t is esti-
mated that Approximately 500 car
loads, or 100000 bushel of potatoes
are stored in the warehouses and
other buildings here at the present
According to the latest govern
ment crop report, Issued Nov. s, this
seasons potato crop in the United
States is 46,92l, 900 bushels less
than last year. This years crop is
estimated at $4,000, 900 bushels
while the final estimate last year
was 4O5, 92l, 900.

Caring for the Colt in Winter.

AS the pastures dry up and cold
weather approaches. the question of
how to care for the growing colt
through the winter confronts the
farmer. Ntany colts will be taken
from pasture with a goodly store of
fat only to be turned out to straw
pile for feed and shelter, and will
come out next spring lighter in
weight than they are this fall. On
the other hand, not few colts may
be ruined by heavy feeding in stalls,
where they cannot take exercise.
The ideal shelter for colts is a
tightly built shed, open to the
south, where the animals may go in
and out at their own pleasure, and
where they may have the run of a
good big field for exercise. Idle
farm horses can best be sheltered in
the same way A dry bed and pro
lection from cold winds. snow and

Distressing Automobile Accident.

Clarence, the II year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Blocker of this vii
lage, was struck by an automobile
last Friday morning, while on IT'S
way to school, and seriously injured.
The boy was riding in his fathers
delivery buggy, and jumped out at
the corner of the Farmers Co-opera-
tive creamery. At>the time two au-
tomobiles-one from the south and
one from the north--were speeding
along on the same street. Clarence
had evidently seen the one from the
south. as he waited until it had
passed. Just how the accident oc-
Cured is not known, but shortly
after he jumped to the ground from
the buggy he was struck by an au-
tomobile driven by Ernest Holman
of Minneapolis. Mr.. Holman picked
the injured boy up and conveyed
him to the n Northwestern hospital.
DR.. Cooney, who is caring for the
patient, informs us that in all pro-
liability he sustained a fractured
skull.
At present the boy is doing nicely,
and he was removed from the hospi-
tai to the home of his parents last
Tuesday.

Two quarts of oats preferably
crushed) and one quart of bran.
makes very suitable feed for grow
ing colts. In cold weather little
corn may be added not to exceed rs
per cent of the ration. If clover or
alfalfa is used as half of the rough
age ration, no oil meal will be
needed, but if the roughage consists
of wild hay or corn slower, about
per cent of oil meal should be
added to the grain ration. Where
oats is high in price and barley is
plentiful, a ration of crushed barley
60 per cent, bran 80 per cent, and
oil meal 10 per cent should give good
results.
There is little danger of over
feeding colt if it is properly exer-
cised. A colt should receive at least
one pound daily for each 100 pound
of live weight, and if out in the cold
little more may be used to advan-
tage.
Growth can be made more rapidly
and cheaply during the first year
than. at any other time, and feed
should not be spared at this time. -

The Rain Makers.

The professional rainmaker has
appeared again, this time in New
South Wales, Australia, operating
with the approval and at the expense
of the government, and using a
principle that has a certain amount
of genuine scientific basis. This
rainmaker is the wireless expert of
the state. His scheme is to send up
a balloon to a height of more than a
mile. anchor it, and then send up
powerful currents OF electricity by
wires. From the balloon this elec-
tricity is to be discharged into the
air. He plans to choose a locality
where it is known that the air at
this height carries much moisture,
torfit would he useless to try to pro-.
duce rain in dry sky.
The theory is that the discharged
electricity will bring the particp
of moisture together, forming drops;
and so making rain. On a small scale
this idea is now in use in many in
dustries, such as the settling of
dust in cement mills and of SCOT in
chimneys. On large scale it has
been considered as promising by Sir
Oliver Lodge, who has urged that" it
be tried out for rain making but
who appreciates that it may prove
simply possible, yet not practical. -

To Prepare Roads for Spring Rains

Instructions have been sent to dis
trict engineers and road superintend-
ents by George W. Cooley, engineer
of the state highway commission, to
put the roads of the state in the
best possible condition before winter
begins, so that spring thaws and
rains will not affect them seriously.
''Ditches and culverts must be
cleaned, lines of drainage opened.
and roadways reshaped and crowned, :"
the instructions read, warning
that it is more important that roads
be properly maintained from now
until freeze-up than at any other
time of the year.
Engineers are also advised to COM
plete as much as possible of the pre-
liminary field work for operations
that will be started by the counties

Iage Answers Final Summons

Another respected pioneer of Mile

mons last Thursday evening, when
Nels M. Peterson. prominent resi-
dent of Borgholm was suddenly
stricken with heart failure. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Peterson was return
ing from the pasture. where he had
gone to drive the COWS home, when
he was taken violently i'll. He
called for help and various members
of his family responded A doctor
was immediately telephoned for but
the end came before Mr.. Peterson
could be taken to his home
The funeral services were con-
Quoted last Sunday from the Swedish
Lutheran church at Book, and the
attendance was so large as to leave
no doubt of the high esteem in
which deceased was held by those
who knew him An abundance of
beautiful floral tributes reposed on
the casket. Rev. Dagner of Milaca
delivered the funeral sermon, and
ihterment was in the Book cemetery.
The subject of this sketch was
born in Smaland, Sweden, April S.
1865, so at the time of his death
was so years, 6 months and 20 days
old. He came to America during the
year of 1883, and in the spring of
1894 located on farm in Borgholm,
being one of the earliest settlers of
that region Mr.. Peterson met with
decided success as a tiller of the soil.
and at the time Of his death was pos
sessed of one of the finest farms in
Mile Laos county.
During the year of 1900 Mr.. Peter
son took unto himself wife, in the
person of Mrs. A. Holmberg, and
four children came to brighten the
home, all of whom are living, viz:
Myrtle. Manfred, Walter and Mil
'd~ed. Mrs. Peterson's two children
by a prior marriage, Alice and Nor
bert. also lived at home.
Nels M. Peterson ever took keen
interest in public affairs, and at the
time of his demise was member of
the Borgholm town board, and was
also treasurer of school district
No. IA. During the years of" 1900
to 1905 he represented the Third
district on the board of county COM
missioners and always attended to
his duties in an efficient manner.
In all matters which had tend
ency to promote the good of the COM
munity, deceased ever displayed a
who ,ome interest. He was prom
linen ly iden titled with the Swedish
Lutheran church of Book, and SER
we'd on the building committee at
the time that editice WAS erected.
Nels M. Peterson was good citi-
zen of sterling worth, and his unex-
pected taking away came as a
distinct shock to his numerous
friends. AS husband, father,
friend and neighbor he was all that
could be desired, and in the years
that lie ahead those who knew him
will never forget the desirable quail
ties that earned him the friendship
of all who formed his acquaintance.
