Letter from Australia
Mrs. F. Quilliam Hears from
Cousin in PARKWAY Land
Telling of Conditions

a letter written at Gin Gin, Aus
traIia, dated Dec. 27. 1914, was
received by Mrs. F. Quilliam, of this
city, last week. 1t was written by
]. g. Vaughan, cousin Of Mrs. Quill
liam, and tells of the conditions and
feelings of the Australians regarding
the present European war.
M. Vaughan is prosperous farm.
er near Rollo. He recently sold one
of his large farms on which he cleared
So, 500 last year. Mrs. Vaughan has
just recovered from an eight weeks
illness, most of which time she was
in the hospital. Speaking of labor
conditions Mr.. Vaughan says it is
next to impossible to secure competent
help.
"What dc you people think of the
great war we are mixed up in?" asks
Mr. Vaughan. 81 notice some of the
American papers are against US in the
struggle. l think America would be
very foolish to range herself along
side of Germany in this war. Mind
you, Australia takes a lot of your
goods and will want more as time goes
on. We are going to give the Kaiser
the time of his life. Australia will
send her last able-bodied man if they
are wanted. We are prepared to
leave our homes and 60 to Europe to
see this thing through and, mind you,
we can all handle a rifle and stand
plenty of rough work. We know
what we are fighting for-that old
flag that has carried US through so
far.
81 notice the German warships
have been very near your fathers
old home IN England. I'll bet it
made him wild when he read of the
raid they made on the coast Of
Yorkshire.
Before this letter was permitted to
leave Australia it was carefully read
by the censor. A line in bold type
''passed by the censor" is stamped on
the back of the envelope. Just how
long the letter remained in the office
of the censor is not indicated but it
must have been several days since it
required a months time to reach

PATTI STOOD PAT.

She Wanted Her Money Before She
Sang, and She Got 1t.
One Of Adelina PATHS, peculiarities
was that she never sang a note until
she had her salary eitheE paid or 50
fully assured that there was no doubt
as to her getting it. When she sang
at the Academy of Music, in New
York, at one time the manager was
sorely put about to find money to pay
her, but she always stoutly refused to
sing until she had her salary.
One night at quarter past s her
representative went to him and said:
Madam is all dressed except her
shoes. She will put those on when
she gets the money!
The manager. half distracted, rushed
about the house and succeeded in rails
ing one-half the amount due the prima
donna, which he hastily sent to her.
But another quarter Of an hour passed,
and, though the audience showed great
Impotence, there was no Patti where
at the manager ran to her room.
''My dear madam, why do you not
go on? have sent you half the mon
ey, and the rest will reach you before
the end of the first act"
Patti smiled dolefully. exhibited the
tips of her feet and said: You see, l
have only ne shoe on. 1 cannot go on
the stage without the other. 1t would
be quite impossible"
Almost crazed, the manager rushed
out and discovered that the other half

with from twenty to forty acres under

is highly important to keep as many
COWS as the farm will provide feed
for.
By feeding the crop to good dairy
COWS, it's value may be increased two
or three times over what it would be
if sold direct from the farm. Crops
marketed in the form of butter-fat
bring higher prices than when sold
as crops and when the crops are fed
the land can be MANFRED, and this
means large yields, which are also
necessary on the small farm.

SALOON LID is EXTENDED

Liquor Dispensaries at Vergas, Otter
Tail County, Ordered Closed.
The federal Indian Office has ordered
the saloons of Vergas, Otter Tail
county, to close their doors immedi,
ately. This is the first time that the
lid" has been extended into Otter
Tail county. The saloons at Sebeka,
across the Wadena line, were ordered
to close Feb. 5. There seems to be
no further doubt but that the govern
ment intends to close up the saloons
throughout the entire Indian treaty
territory, which means that there will
be only one or two wet" villages
possibly only one-left in the county.

SIX TO TEN COWS
FOR SMALL FARMS
Various Factors Determine the
Number Of Cows It Is
Wise to Keep.
BY A. j. INQUIRE,
Extension Division, Minnesota College
of Agriculture

Extension Division, Minnesota College
. of Agriculture.
The extent to which dairying should
be conducted on the farm depends up
on different conditions, such as the
size Of the farm, the amount of help,
number of other stock kept, and, it
might also be added, the necessity
of making all the money possible.
When a farmer is in debt or has
needed improvements to make. the
greatest number Of dairy COWS that
can be fed and cared for properly on
the farm will bring the largest and
surest returns
On a small farm a man can milk
from six to ten COWS in connection
with the farm work and this number
may be increased in proportion to
the number of boys and girls to the
family. A farm boy who does not
learn to be good mixer and who
cannot be depended upon to get the
milking done regularly and on time,
loses the better part Of his farm
training. While the milking should
not. be the women's work, it is not I'M
WomanIy to be able to help with the
milking when necessary, and the
strength of body that comes from this
wholesome work and the knowledge
which it gives of a most important
factor of farming, should make it a
desirable thing for every girl brought
up on the farm, especially when a
family needs money, which often can
not be made except through the keep
ing Of mere COWS.
On large farms, when considerable
other stock is kept and various prod
ucts solo,, the number of COWS MIXED
may not be so important, but on the
small farm, and especially in the

COUNTYOpT|ON PASSES SENATE
Peterson Bill Goes Through Upper
Branch of the Legislature by
Vote of So to 81.

The F. H. Peterson county option
bill passed the senate by a vote OF
SO to 81 after four hours of debate.
Only thirty-four votes were necessary
to pass it.
This is the first time in the history
Of the state that a county option bill
has passed either branch of the legis-
lature. In 1913 it was defeated in the
senate by a close margin and in the
house by tie vote, SO to So.
The Peterson bill will now go to
the house, where the opposition will
make it's final stand. One of the most
noteworthy struggles in the recent
legislative history of the state is
measure comes up for final action and
its fate is difficult to guess.
