Other travellers are not so we'll inform
ed, Sc the Commercial club Of Duluth
three years ago decided to place the
information branch of its activities
prominently before the visitors to the
city.
A prominent corner, likely to be
passed by all people entering the city
by train or boat, was chosen and Il neat
booth erected. A well trained clerk
was put in charge, and the publicity
committee Of the organization obtained
and placed in convenient form all in
formation likely to be requested by Wis
itors to the city. Citizens We're invited
to list DON for rent to transients, and
efforts are made to direct visitors to
places that will supply all wants.
Dufuth's tourist business is in sum-
mer. The passenger ships on the great
lakes bring thousands of people to the
city in the period from June 10 to Sept.
Is each year. In addition. many people
go to Duluth by train to enjoy the cool
weather Of the city and the outing OPP
portunities in the neighboring country.
hay e CI SullGltIS also lllihC up Il
large Duluth colony each year.
The Commercial club information
booth is in its third year, and the club
has found it of such value that it will
continue to be operated yearly. Last
year over $50 people on an average ap-
piled each day for information. and
this year the number is fully as great.
The booth is attractive in architec-
ture and is so placed as not to interfere
with traffic. In addition to the litera.
ture of the club. folders of all railroad
and boat lines touching the city are
kept for distribution. Visitors have
found the service invaluable, and many
have sought information as to the cost
of operation and the plan of service III
order to suggest similar service to the
commercial organizations in their home
| cities.

Ration For a Fresh Cow.

For the first two or three days after
calving the grain ration should be
rather light and somewhat laxative in
character, says Hoard's Dairyman.
After the animal has been brought to
full feed either of the following ra-
lions should give good results: Corn
Eilage, twenty-five to thirty pounds:
clover hay. ten to fifteen pounds, and a
grain mixture of equal parts Of corn
and wheat bran, or corn silage, twen-
ty-fve to thirty-five pounds; alfalfa Or
cowpea hay, ten to fifteen pounds, and
a grain mixture of three parts corn
and n part wheat bran. With such
rations it is we'll to feed all the rough
age the animals will clean up readily
and a pound of grain for every three
or four pounds Of milk produced.

Changing Field Crops.

The soil will show marked improve
ment because Of the various crops that
are grown, says the Orange Judd
Farmer. The wheat making the early
growth, as also all grain crops, will
need to draw heavily on plant food
when bacterial action in the soil is
necessarily slow. For this purpose SOW
Ing them on q field that grew a crop of
corn or potatoes the year previous will
give them M advantage. There is a
better supply of plant food and also
more moisture.
Changing field crops gets rid of many
insect pests, soil diseases, and a bigger
crop Is to be expected. Flax wilt will
die out I'M from six to eight years if The
land is not sown to fax. Weeds are
also easily controlled when q rotation is
practiced. Some weeds grow only in
certain crops, SO if that crop comes
once In four or i've years it ia killed
out entirely or at least checked.

The improved implement for beating
carpets, herewith illustrated, appears
to be q great improvement over the
switch and the device made of cane.
Being supplied with four wires to
make up a wing. it covers a greater
area when in action and accomplishes
the job more quickly. Beating a carpet
with n switch is hard on the hands, for
it is necessary 10 operate close to the
carpet to get the best results, and this
IS often disastrous to the knuckles. In
the case Of the new invention the han
die is raised so that there is no danger
to flesh in coming in contact with the
harsh fabric of the carpet.

TO CONTROL HEssIAN FLY.
Protect the Great Winter Wheat Belt
From Invasion Next Year.

TTOCect tne 1Fedt winter wheat Oei1
From Invasion Next Year.
prepared By United States department of
agricultural
Sow winter wheat after the Hessian
fly has disappeared and save next years
crop from the ravages of the pest. say
the department Of ag%riculture'S experts.
If the fly has been starved out by burn.
ing or disking all stubble and ruined
wheat fields and all volunteer wheat
mas been plowed under or otherwise de
stroycd an infestation the following
year may be prevented by sowing after
the approximate fly free date.
The Hessian fly of the second or fall
generation is likely to infest all volun-
teer wheat and all wheat sown before
the fly free date. "FlaXSeedS' of the
second generation remain on the fall
sown wheat plants till the following
April, when adults issue and produce
young, which begin another season of
infestation. The adult flies Of the sec
ond generation emerge from the flax
seed stage from the middle of August
to late October, according to the lati-
tude. The female fly does not live be-
yond five or six days, and thus it is
that late sowing, after the flies have
largely disappeared, is the most practi-
cal and effective method employed to
control this pest.
According to experimental sowings
carried on for Il series of years, the ap-
proXimate dates to SOW winter wheat
to avoid the Hessian fly during years
of normal rainfall have been deter
mined. There are some points With re
| gard to these dates which all farmers
within fly infested districts must take
into account. They should be familiar
With the conditions Of their own locali-
ties as to weather, soil and latitude.
They should also be familiar with their
| own fields. Dry weather retards the
| development of the fly and also that of
the most important of it's natural enc
mics precisely as it retards the coming
up of the wheat if it be own in very
dry soil and without sufficient rainfall.
There is also an approximate difference
of about one day to each hundred feet
of elevation.

TO EVADE THE HESSIAN FLY SOW
WHEAT

There is, of course, a serious oDJec-
ton to the late sowing method to CON
troll the UcSsian fly, and that is the
danger that the plants will not make
sufficient growth to withstand the Win
ter. This objection. however, may he
largely overcome by proper cultural
methods. Much of the delay i'll the
growth of late sown plants in the fall
can be eliminated by paying close at
tention to the preparation of the soil
and to the quality Of the seed. The
best advice that can be given is to be
gin the preparation of the field in the
fall precisely rs though it was expected
to SOW ut a very early date, but instead
, of sowing use the disk harrow and the
roller, ever after it appears to be Il
waste of labor to till the field further.
When a finely pulyerized, compact
seed bed has been secured the seed
done with the point in view that I'M
| naturally shriyeled or otherwise imper-
feet kernels cannot produce healthy
wheat plants. When the kernel sprouts
it at once sends ibrous roots down into
the soil from which to draw nOuriSh-
ment for the young plant. and if little
or no nourishment is secured the wheat
plants are put into somewhat the condi-
ton Of stunted calves, pigs or other
farm animals which are underfed.
Wheat plants annot secure prompt
and ample nourishment if the roots
must make their WaV about clOdS due
to poor preparation Of the soil. or in
soil that lacks in fertility. The farmer,
then, should begin the preparation of
his soil with the object of delaying the
sowing of the wheat and afterward of
pushing the growth of the plant to the
utmost until the beginning of cold
weather.
