MAYOR DECIDES TO
HEAD CITY TICKET
PETITIONS BEING CIRCULATED
FOR PLACING CANDIDATES T.
tz.~s~. ON BALLOT.
ALL OLD OFFICIALS WILL AGAIN
SEEK ELECTION THIS
SPRING.

Although Mayor Fritsche announced
time and again that he would not be
a candidate for reelection as the city's
chief executive, he has yielded to the
pressure brought to bear upon him by
the business and professional men of the
city and he will undoubtedly have a
clear field at the coming election, it being
understood that none of the other
embryo candidates would file if the
present mayor could be induced to again
accept the nomination and election.
The Mayor reached the decision to run
again last Tuesday evening, when COM
mittee of representative business men
called at his office and explained the
situation to him. It was pointed out
that contest at the present time would
only tend to create enmity between rival
candidates and their followers, likely to
result in such bitterness as would retard
the city's future and disturb present
cordial business relations. Mayor
Fritsche pleaded that he had not, the
time to devote to the Office, but to no
avail. The committee simply would not
take mo- for their answer and finally
exacted promise that he would permit
the circulation of a petition.
Petitions for placing upon the ballot
the names of DR.. L. A. Fritsche for mayor;
Gottlieb Oswald for city treasurer, and
VIM. Backer for city clerk, were cir
culated during the past week and genera
ly signed. For these Offices the sigma
lures of about 200 qualified electors are
required as they are voted for all over
the city. The law requires 10 per cent
ssI the total registered vote at the pre-
ceding election.
So far no other candidates have an
nounced themselves for either the office
of clerk or treasurer and it is not be-
lieved that the present incumbents will
have any opposition.
The terms of the two city justices also
expire this spring, but it is expected that
the two present incumbents, N. Henning-
sen and Col. Buschers will be selected
again. The terms of Alfred Baltrusch
and Hugo Windhorn, city constables
also expire.
The only contest which has material
lied so far is in the first ward, where both
the present alderman, Fred Behnke and
the former member of the city council,

BRILLIANT NIGHTS
FOR COUNTY FAIR
CARNIVAL COMPANY TO BE EN-
GAGGED TO FURNISH ENTER
TAINMENT. -.
DAY ALL DAY IN DAY TIME BUT
NO NIGHT AT BROWN CoUN-
TY FAIR.

Directors of the Brown County Fair
Association at their meeting last Wednes-
day evening decided to set the fair dates
for Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
Sept. 81, % and % and with the naming
of the dates activities toward the success
of this years fair have begun, as the
several committees are already casting
about for suitable attractions for the
entertainment of Fair visitors.
Secretary Engelbert states that there
is possibility of change of date in view
of the fact that the carnival company
desired may already have been booked.
AS was decided by the stockholders of
the association at their annual meeting
three weeks ago, the high price of steel
has made the erection of a new grand
stand this year impossible, but all the
more effort will be put into the fair this
year in order to draw greater crowds and
assure the steel structure for 1917.
The race program which has been tried
out by the fair association in the past
will be eliminated this year, because it
is not believed that races good enough
to warrant the expense connected there
with can be pulled off. The scarcity of
good race horses on the one hand and
the greater fascination of races with
automobile and other motor driven
vehicles may be regarded as the causes
of the declining of the sport of kings.
Other sports, however, will take the
place of the race meet and visitors to the
fair will not miss the horses, it is be-
lieved. Negotiations will be entered
into with several of the large carnival
companies and one of the stellar attrac-
lions secured. The fair management
proposes to make the coming exhibitions
especially attractive this year and with
a first-class carnival company showing
on the grounds Illuminated by myriads
of multi-colored lights this will be
possible. None but the very cleanest
and most attractive exhibitions will be
permitted on the grounds
The racing feature probably will be
elaborated upon by staging several good
automobile races, motorcycle contests,
etc. Also races for the boys, afoot and
on wheels, mule races and lumber wagon
races. Such is the tentative program
as proposed by the members Informally
at last Wednesdays meeting.

GERMAN COMEDY AT MANKATO

Local people have received invitations
to attend the production of a German
comedy at Mankato next Sunday evening
and no doubt a number of them will
respond. The play will be produced by
home talent and staged at the Mankato
theatre.
The title Of the play is der Liebe
Onker" and is said to be one of the
jolliest and most entertaining comedies
written in the German language.
The cast is chosen from members of
the Thalia Club of Mankato, dramatic
organization of considerable reputation.
A feature of the evening will be several
numbers by the Mankato United German
Singers, to be rendered between acts. -

FIRE LOSSES IN OUR COUNTY
1915

The need of more general adoption of
fire prevention methods in Brown county
is shown by the annual report issued by
Robert W. Hargadine, State Fire Marshal,
of fires in this county during the year
ended December 81, 1915.
There were 13 fires during the year and
the loss was $25,492. This is greater,
both in the numbers of fires and in the
aggregate losses as compared with 1914.
In that year the losses in Brown county
was $12,905 and the number of fires re-
ported IL.
However, the number of fires and the
aggregate loss for the past year shows
that just little more care in the elimina-
ton of fire hazards and a little more gener-
al appreciation of the need of fire proven
ton will place Brown county in the ranks
of those whose losses were reduced during
the past year.

VALUE OF THE TIMBER CROP
Farmers Have Given Away Much
Valuable MateriaI-Forest Fires
Do Great Damage.

1t is certainly high time to wake
up to the value of the timber crop.
All over the country farmers have
given away valuable timber almost
for a song. ALI over the country
forest fires work shameful destruction,
and men who start forest fires 60
unpublished. All over the country are
forest lands yielding less than half
the profits they should yield simply
because the stand" of trees has been
destroyed Men who would be ashamed
to have even small field with only
half stand Of corn, cotton or tobacco
think nothing of keeping so to 500
acres Of timber land on which reck-
less numbering has reduced the stand
to one-fourth what 1t should be. We
must learn that timber Is a crop just
as truly as corn or cotton-even II
II does take a little longer to mature

WHITEWASH THAT WILL LAST
Formula for Making Covering Used
by Government on Lighthouses
Maintained Along Coast.

To make the whltewash which has
been used for more than ten years In
the White House at Washington and
on the lighthouses maintained by the
government along the coasts, take a
half bushel of unslaked lime and slake
it with boiling water. Cover during
the process to keep in the steam.
Strain the liquid through a fine sieve
or strainer and add to it a peck of
salt, which previously has been dis
solved in warm water; 3 pounds Of
ground rice boiled to thin paste and
stirred In while hot; " pound Span
ish whiting; and l pound of glue pre-
vlously dissolved by soaking in water
and then hanging over hot water. This
is best accomplished by putting in a
small pail and hanging in larger one
filed with water. Add 5 gallons Of hot
water to the mixture, stir well, and let
stand a few days covered. It should
be applied hot, for which purpose it
can be kept in a portable furnace.

GREAT WASTE DUE TO WEEDS
In Certain States Where Diversified
ton Is Exception Annual Loss
Placed at $4,000, 900.

By ]. d. MARSHALL, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins. Colo)
According to the United States de-
partment of agriculture, the annual
waste due to the weeds is estimated at
$300,000,000 for the whole United
States. In certain states where d.
versified farming is the exception and
not the rule, the waste is said to APP
proximate $4O,OOOOO0 per year. What
the waste is in Colorado cannot be ae-
curately estimated, but 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that considerable waste oc-
ours. In the intenslvely cultivated
sections the waste is not very large
because of the clean culture needed
for certain crops. In sections where
grain crops are very popular, the
waste is quite large.
The principal ways in which weeds
affect farming are through direct dam
age to the crop, cutting down the yield,
cheapenlng the product, and lowering
the value of land.

GOOD WAY FOR MOVING TREE
First Dig a Circle, Making Sure to
Get All Roots-Water II Planted
In Growing Season.

In moving tree, first dig out cir
Gle as near the size of the tree as pos
sible, making sure to get all the roots,
Leave the sod on it holds the soil to-
gether. Cut all broken roots off
smooth.
In setting, have the hole deeper than
the roots will reach, which lnsures
them soft place to start. Spread the
roots naturally and sIft in rich surface
soil. The tree must be set no deeper
than ii stood naturally; this is so i'm
portant that one person had better
hold the tree up while another SHOW
els.
Water the tree If 1t Is planted In Its
growing season, otherwise not, Heap
a mound Of soil around the base and
keep this stirred to prevent caking.
Don't let sod form near the tree at
first. The best time to transplant is
just before growth starts, though the
fall or late spring will do. Pick a
cloudy day for the work. Prune the
tops according to the amount you cut
off the roots.

HARD WORKING TEAMS
"Hard Feed" During Busy Sea-
son Is Recommended.
Horse VIII Thrive, Work Better, and
Remain Healthier and More En-.
during-soft Grass Makes AMI
NAL too Mushy and Flabby.
CBy T. E. sAwYER.)

When q farm horse is working hard
it does not pay to let him eat grass
when 1t is green. The horse deserves
and should have a good roll on grass
or plOwed land each time the harness
is removed, as that is a luxury and
helpful to the animal.
But he viii thrive, work better and
remain healthier and more enduring
If fed hard feed" during the busy
season.
The soft, washy, green grass is pal
atable of course, but 1t makes the
horse soft and flabby, keeps the bow
els too loose and is apt to induce collie.
If the horse has no work to do he
may go on pasture right along and
have little grain, and when his work
is done in late summer he may enjoy
the fall pasture made green again by
rains. The pasture also is a good
place for the brood mare, as it pro-
notes flow of milk.

caused by allowing the hot, tired horse
to eat grass at the roadside when he
has made long trip to town.
The trouble, too, is prone to come
on when horses are suddenly fed new
hay or new oats. Both new hay and
new oats should be fed in small guam
titles gradually at first, and along with
old hay and oats until the horses be-
come accustomed to the change.
Either the new feed is so palatable
that the horse eats too much of 1t, or
1t contains some ferment that sets up
Indigestion and formation of gas.
Water very seldom causes collie. Ma
ture intends horses to have all of it
they want, at any and all times, and so
provided 1t does no harm; we may
cause trouble by Withholding drinking

MOST POPULAR BREED
Size Is Quality That Recon
mendS the Light Brahma.
Has No Superior Where Large and
Slow Maturing Fowls Are De-
sired-5arred Where Egg Pro-
duetion Is Chief Item.
(By FROF. II L. KEMPsTER, Missouri
College OF Agriculture

(By PROF. II l.. KEMPSTER, Missouri
College OF Agrieulture)
The Light Brahma is the oldest and
perhaps the best-knOwn and most pop
ular of the feather-legged chickens.
Size is the quality that recommends
the Light Brahma. Where large and
slowly maturing fowls are desired the
Light Brahma has no superior, but the
slowness of maturity is very objection
able In the pullets, which, together
with the fact that they are not very
heavy layers when matured, practi-
cally bars this breed where egg pro-
duction is the chief item.
There is no other breed of fowls that
has the stately appearance possessed
by the Brahma. These fowls are close
feathered like the Langshans, but are
larger and not so long-legged. They
are not as heavily feathered as the
COchins. They are very graceful In
appearance and carry themselves in a
stately manner. The back on both
male and female is very long and
broad. There should be a slight rise
Of the back with broad sweep at the
base Of the tail. The birds should be
erect and well placed on their legs.
Abundant toe feathers is also very
desirable feature.
Taking the American Standard of
Perfection as guide, the following
are the special qualifications and dis
qualifications Of the Light Brahma
fowls, when being judged according
to the Standard Of Perfection.
Special qualifications are: Cocks
over three pounds, cockerels over two
and half pounds, hens and pullets
over two pounds less than standard
weight. Vulture hooks also disqualify.

TREATMENT FOR SCALY LEGS
One OF the Very Best Cures Is Oil Of
caraway and White vaseIine APP
piled as an Ointment.

Scaly legs, which Is common af-
Fiction familiar to all poultry keep
ers, is caused by minute mite which
lives and breeds under the scales Of
the feet and legs. 1t is easily recog-
nlzed In the enlarged roughened APP
pearance It gives the foot and shank.
Each fowl must be treated individu-
ally to cure the disease.
In q new book on poultry diseases
DIR. Raymond Pearl says one Of the
very best cures for scaly legs is oil Of
caraway. This Is best applied In an
ointment made Of one part of oil Of
caraway to five parts Of white vaseline.
1t is very penetrating, but is not nearly
rs irritating as some Of the cOmmoner
Treatments more usually advised. The
ointment should be rubbed into the
legs and foot every few days until all
signs Of the disease dlsappear.-Farm

ERADICATE THE HESSIAN FLY
Pointers From Expert Of Missouri Col
iege Of AgrieuIture-Starve the
Pest, He Says.

By 7. J. TALBERT. Missouri College OF
Agriculture)
Plow early.
Bury the fly.
Destroy all volunteer wheat.
Sow on or soon after fly-free date.
Use oats or rye as fall pasture.
The fly can't eat oats and 1t cares
little for rye.
Deep blowing Of wheat stubble
buries the fly and a good narrowing
makes 1t harder for him to escape.
Starve the fly till about the middle
Of October then sow and you'll have
no Hessian fiy next year II all your
neighbors do the same. II one Of
them sows early or lets volunteer
wheat stand, his fly crop will probably
get your wheat next year.

Light Brahma Hen, Owned by Missouri
College OF Agriculture.

Solid black feathers on the back;
black spots in the web of feathers in
the back, except stripes in the sad
die on the males and at the base of
the neck; or shanks other than yellow
should disqualify Light Brahmas.
The neck plumage should be white.
The hackle should beswhlte, the web
of the feathers should have a solid
greenish black strip extending down
the middle of each feather, running
parallel with the edge of the feather
and tapering to point near the end.
The under-color should be either white,
blush white or slate. In the wings,
the wing bows should be white ex-
cept near the front. The primaries
and secondaries should be black with
white ON the lower side extending to
the quill. The remainder Of the pri-
maries and secondaries should be
black. In the back the surface color
should be white except at the base Of
the neck. The saddlesshould be white,
the under-color can be either white,
blush white or slate.
The tail should be black. The tall
coverts should be black; the lesser
coverts should be black edged with
white. The surface and under-eolor
of the breast should be white. The
body and fluff should be white except
under the wings, where it may be
white, blush white, or slate, the same
as the under color.

DAIYNOIEy

To produce good milk, cows must be
comfortable.
Calf raising is an important part of
the dairyman's business.
Cleanliness and carefulness are the
keystone in successful dalrying.
The dairy barn should be roomy,
clean, dry, light and well ventilated.
While feed is an important factor
In successful dairying 1t is not the only
thing.
Cannot expect calves to be better
than their sire-that Is why we need
the best.
Always handle COWS carefully. The
COW will more than repay any kindness
shown her.
After the calf is six weeks old there
Is little danger Of it getting indiges-
tiOn or scOurs.
1t may save time to drive the cows
to the barn at a trot, but it is a poor
and ill-timed economy.
Keeping the calves separate also
prevents the calves from sucking each
other, a disagreeable habit.
Keep the calves separate for the
hrst two months so that IL anything
goes wrong with them 1t win be imlne-
siately detected.

CLEANLINESS MUST BE FIRST
Success With Dairy Depends Greatly
Upon Attention to Details In and
Around Barn.

In order that milk may be sanitary
and healthy the cows must be healthy,
clean and well cared for, and must
not be given feeds that will produce
Objectionable flavOrs in the milk barns
must be well lighted, ventilated and
kept clean and be roOmy enough TO
prevent undue crowdlng Of cows; barn
yards must be kept reasonably clean,
and should be well drained so as to
insure, as far as possible, cleanliness

SOWING ALFALFA IN AUTUMN
Exact Time Must Be Governed Large
ly by Local conditions-culti-
vate Before Seeding.

When to seed alfalfa must be large
ly governed by local conditions. Early
spring seeding was formerly advocated
but many growers now sow In early
autumn. Soil and moisture conditions
must be the governing factors.
BY cultivatlng the soil for several
weeks before seeding the weeds are
largely destroyed and large quantity
Of plant food is made available, and
1t is believed that a better stand can
be obtained.

water for long periods of time and
then forcing the hot, tired horse to
drink too much of 1t at noon and es-
pecially just after eating grain.
Allow the work horse adequate sup
plies of cool, pure water often when
he is at work and he never will take
too much of 1t or suffer Ill effects from
drinking. Indeed the water so given
will be likely to prevent sickness
and always is appreciated and bene-
clal.
In addition to making changes of
food gradually it also is well to very
gradually increase the amount of
food. Allow free access to rock salt.
II an attack of collie comes on, the
following mixture, given as one dose,
usually will be found effectual:
Turpentine, one ounce; fluid extract
of Cannabis Indica, one-half ounce;
raw llnseed oil, one pint. Repeat In
half an hour If found necessary.

In all of mans ramifcations over
the globe he has had a constant fol-
lower. Since animal production be-
came important, the shorthorn has
been the first to nose its way into the
cattle countries. OF course, there
were native cattle In many places, but
when 1t came time to yield to pure
blood, the shorthorn was invariably
the first choice.
c, L. Wllloughby, professor of ami
NAL husbandry In the University of
Florida college of agriculture, is of
the opinion that the shorthorn is one
of the best beef breeds for Florida.
1t is the largest breed, although the
Hereford is close second. 1t ranks
In the first class as a butchers AMI
NAL.
The shorthorn is Of the blocky type.
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-09-01

has large frame and excellent feeding
capacity. It's popularity is shown by
the large numbers in the show ring and
in the stock yards. However, some Of
the other breeds in recent years have
been surprising the shorthOrn steer
as grand champion of the shows.
The importance Of the shorthOrn as
an animal to grade up native stock can
hardly be overestlmated. Shorthorn
bulls crossed on native cows produce
an animal that is finding greater favor
every year, This type of steer has
raised the standards in stock yards and
has found favor throughout the world.
The disappearance of the Texas type
of steer has been due largely TO the
use OF Shorthorn bulls on range cows.
What they have done for the western
ranges they can do for Florida.

DISPOSE OF ALL C0CKERELS
Keep Only Those Desired for Breeding
Purposes-sell Leehorns Weigh
ing Pound and Half.

In chickens the sexes will be about
equally divided, aud It will be neces-
sary to dispose of all cockerels except
those kept for breeding purposes. II
they can be sold for 20 or 80 cents per
pound, It will be better to dispose Of
them. All Leghorn cockerels should be
sold when weighing pound and a
half as they will not grow much larger
for some time. If kept for later mar
ket 1t will be best to caponize them.
