did not 60 to camp this season we
are forced to look elsewhere for
weird stories from the woods. The
best we've noted thus far comes
from Roberts where it is said that
Rob. Ludke and Leland Ash made a

the trail, without guns. they ran
down and caught buck, tied him to
a tree, went back and got their guns
and shot him.
But we are still looking for bear

Farm Auto Owners,
Anti-Freeze Solution
Denatured Alcohol Serves Best

What kind of anti-freeze mix
ture shall | use in my automobile
radiator?"
This question among farmers is
fast taking the placeof the old, time
honored one, Where can | get a
warm blanket for my horse?"
That one of the best anti-freeze
mixtures for use in this manner con-
sists of denatured alcohol and water,
mixed half and half, which will with
stand temperatures not exceeding
80 degrees below zero, is the opinion
of Frank M. White, department of
agricultural engineering, Universe
ty of Wisconsin.
AS the alcohol boils at much low
er temperatures than water, users
should not be alarmed if the mix
ture heats up quickly during the op-
Grafton of the engine. 1t is likely
that the mixture will need to be re-
plenished once at least during the
winter, using perhaps seventy per
cent solution. By the aid of a hy-
drometer, which can be bought for
fifty cents, the exact amount neces-
sary can be determined.
Other points to consider in using
anti-freeze solutions are:
The solution used should not pro-
duce any harmful effect to the en-
CINE parts, or leave a deposit on the
cylinder walls.
Be careful about using calcium
chloride for this purpose, as it con-
tains an element which Injuries metal
Have it tested first with litmus pa
per.
Glycerine willprevent evaporation,
but it has the disadvantages of being
expensive, and slightly harmful to
rubber hose connections.
Wood alcohol will prevent freez-
ing, a Is per cent solution with
standing temperatures Of 5 below
zero, and II per cent solution as
low as Is degrees minus.
Avoid the use of mostpatent prep
arations for the sake of economy, as
the same ingredientswhich they con-
tain can be bought and mixed at
home just as we'll, and at less cost.

Successful Poultrymen
Rid FlOcks OF LOaferS

Sort your flock now and save
money"
This is the advice which J. C. Hal
pin, in charge Of poultry husbandry
at the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture, regularly offers at this season
of the year. He has found that it
does not pay to keep hens through
the winter that are not laying, and
for this reason urges everyone to
dispose of the loafers.
''The best layers" says Mr.. Hal
pin, are the hens that are first off
the roost in the morning and the last
to go to roost at night; those that
are active and have free crops at
night; those that always seem to be
busy; and those that are bright-eyed
and go about singing.
''The comb usually shrinks, be-
comes hard, light-colored, and rough
when laying ceases. The skin on a
laying hen is usually smooth, oily
and pliable; her abdomen is large,
she has wide pelvic arch and a
good depth from keel to pelvis.
''Late moulting hens are the best
layers. Contrary to general opinion
repeated tests show that heavy-pro-
ducing hens moult late and moult
rapidly.
Now is the time to watch the pull
lets. Don't let them roost in small
coops about the yard. They crowd
into these places, and spend the
night huddled to keep warm; in the
early morning when they come out
into the chill fall air, they are very
apt to take cold, and their constitu-
tional vigor is reduced. Good, warm,
we'll ventilrted houses should be pro-
vided for the chickens and the pull
lets should be made to roost in
them, if they are to be good winter
layers.
'The grass-hopper crop is gone,
and sources of green feed around
the farm are disappearing. This
brings up the question of what shall
the hen eat if she is to pay with eggs
for her keep during the winter?
"A good ration to keep in a hop
per constantly before the flock is
made of three parts Of corn and one
part of oats, with a dry mash of
equal parts of bran, middlings,
ground corn and one-half part glut-
en- feed. IT milk is not available for
mixing the mash. add one part OF
meat scrap to it. or put the meat
scrap in the hopper and let the hens
help themselves. Some form of ami
NAL feed, such as green feed and
oyster shells are very essential. Hens
cannot make profits for the owner
unless they are abundantly fed and
secure the necessary elements for
economical egg-making."

18th to 10Th, inclusive. While the
time limit set for receiving entries
for judging is December 9Th, exhib-
its are now arriving daily at the
corn show headquarters in st. Paul.
The number of requests received for
entry blanks, and advices from corn
growers of their intention to enter
contests, would indicate that the ex-

Der the fifteen hundred ten.ear SAM
Piles entered at the First National"
corn show which was held in St.
Paul last December. Promoters of
several shows being held locally
throughout the Northwest have adj
vised the management of the st.
Paul show, that a portion of their
exhibits, and in some cases all of
them, will be sent to St. Paul for en-
try and display. This interest on
the part of corn enthusiasts in send
ing in exhibits from Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Montana, Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, which states comprise the
corn show territory, will enable the
promoters of the St. Paul show to
prepare representative display of
Northwestern corn, which will dem

corn can, and is being grown success
fully in practically every district of
this great agricultural section of the
United States.
The First National" corn shows
are held under the auspices of The
First National Bank and Northwest
ern Trust Company of St Paul and
bankers of the Northwest. with the
object of interesting farmers in the
growing of more corn, which has
contributed more to make the
United States a nation of great
wealth and prosperity than any 9TH
er product of the land.
Farmers and farmers sons in the
eight states included in the corn
territory are invited to enter con-.
tests and compete for the beautiful
Silver and Golden" bronze loving
cups offered as prizes. No entry fee
is charged. Each state has been di-
vided into districts in such manner
that exhibitors will only have to
compete with contestants in their in
dividual district, who have grown
corn under similar soil and climatic
conditions. Four prize cups will be
awarded in each district, first and
second prize for men and first and
second prize for boys.

Dougherty Co. to Take Lay-0ff

believe it kept the man awake to
realize such extravaganza as the
waste of those costly spuds. Posi-
bly, the reason that the Doughertys
are to discontinue this circuit after
next week is because the remainder
of their plays demand the use of
war-priced hen fruit. spuds or
beans. Better put on "Tom" show;
ice will be reasonable. )"

present very entertaining comedy.
