GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATING
FARMING CONDITIONS
Fifty Farms In kandIyohl County Will
Be systematically Checked
For Five Years.

Fifty Farms In kandlyohl County viii
BE systematically Checked !
For Five Years.
The u. S. Government is making an
effort to find out exact conditions on
Minnesota farms. In twelve counties
in different parts Of the state an ex-
act system of accounts will be kept
on selected number of farms to de-
termine the returns received by the
owner for his work and on his invest
ment. Kandiyohi county is one Of
these.
About fifty farms will be listed in
this county. The work has begun
here by w. L. Cavert of the U. S.
Dept. of Agriculture, and so far he
has secured the cooperation Of about
twenty-five farmers. Hedge Nelson Of
Whitef1eld was the first farmer to vol
unteer to have the test made on his
farm.
Mr.. Cavert first makes a complete
inventory Of all the property on the
farm. An accurate account of all
money received and all expenditures
will be kept in books provided for
that purpose. At the end of five
years, after another inventory has
been taken, the average return to the
farmer for his labor can be determin-
ed. On several farms already investi-
gated it has been demonstrated that
the farmer is getting nothing for his
labor after figuring a reasonable IN
terest on his investment. The inves-
tigation is made on the theory that
exact knowledge of conditions is ne
cessary to stimulate efforts for i'm
provement.

Results of Our First
Monthly Competition

The winners of our March competition
are as follows: First prize, A. A. Lynch; Sec
ond prize, Paul Anderson; Third prize Miss
Nora Abrahamson.
The remarkable features about the win
ming picture is the freedom of expression, the
harmony of pose and the splendid detail
which are the essential requirements of pic
tOrial record
Owing to the fact that the developing and
printing is done by us, the main objects taken
into consideration are, lighting, composition
the selection of the subject, pose expression,
exposure and also the manipulation of the
camera
By composition we mean the selection of
the view or the arrangement of the objects in
the picture. 1t is extremely difficult and re-
quires great deal of knowledge and expert
ence owing to the fact that the equivalent
focus of the film cameras vary from about
two to five and one-half inches while the focus
Of the average normal eye is about ten inches.
= This makes the objects that look close by to
the eye seem far off to the camera; and the
with the objects fart her back. This defect is
called distortion and can only be managed to
good advantage by experience and close
study:
The three winning pictures will be on
display in our show windows

Young chickens should not be
eooped on land that was occupied by
chickens last year.
Supply clean water. Il is essential
to health and TO the hen for the pro-
duction OF the egg, the contents Of
which are nearly three parts water.
A large percentage Of poultry. es-
pecially young chickens, die through
drinking from puddles and dirty wa
ter in their drinking troughs.
AS chickens grow, diminish the
number OF meals, as well as the va
riety OF food
Weed out the inferior birds, wheth-
er as to size. form or quality, at the
earliest possible moment, feeding the
two lots separately. Unless the birds
are on grass. supply them with green
food daily. therefore cut grass is ex-
cellent- A mangel may be cut in
halves and supplied for the birds to
peck al.
One OF the best foods for growing
chickens is the curd from skinned
milk. The milk may be coagulated
with rennet, carefully cut when the
curd is set. subsequently drained in
a cloth and given to the birds when
nrm enough to be handled. Chickens
may also receive small quantities OF
chopped meat, including fat. with ad-
vantage.
II oats are supplied. the best kind
are the whole ground oat.

PREPARE HIVE FOR THE BEES
Ry =. G. HERMANl

By +. G.. HERMAN.)
The wide-awake farmer does not
wait until his bees have swarmed and
are clustering on a tree-top before he
thinks of preparing a hive for them.
All preparatory work, such as making
and painting hives. wiring brood
frames and getting the section boxes
ready for the anticipated honey crop
should be done at leisure times during
the dull period on the farm before the
rush Of other work takes place.
How easy il will be to manage a
dozen or more colonies of bees this
summer If everything is set in readi-
ness.
For instance. IL a swarm issues it
will only be the work of a few minutes
to take the hive from the barn and
hive the swarm into it. II the honey
flow bursts forth suddenly what salts

you have on hand few hundred sec.
