CARL F. MUELLER.

Wednesday Of last week word was
received from Fairfax that Carl F. Muel-
Ter had passed away at the home of his
daughter in that city at II o'clock that
morning after an illness of only few days.
He had visited in New Ulm about three
weeks ago and on the ride home in an
automobile caught severe cold. This
together with the ailments incident to
old age was the cause of his death.
Mr.. Mueller was one of the pioneer
contractors and builders of New Ulm and
many Of the older structures of the city,
among them Crone Bros. and the Beuss-
mann blocks, are lasting monuments of
his labors. He was born October H.,
1889, in the province of Saxony, Ger
many, where he spent the years of his
youth and young manhood. He followed
the trade of a mason and as such travelled
extensively throughout Germany, France
and Denmark. He returned to the city
of his birth later and there was married
to Sophie Babe in 1862, who preceded
him in death eight years ago. In 1864
the couple emigrated to America, coming
directly to New Ulm, where they resided
all these years, gaining the respect and
friendship of the pioneer citizens. Eight
children were born to the couple, but
five of them preceded the father in
death, those still in the land of the living
being Theodore Mueller, the well-known
cigar manufacturer and Mrs. Hermann
Schreyer, also of this city, and Mrs.
George Borth of Fairfax at whose home
he passed away. He also leaves sister,
Mrs. Frank Wagner of this city and

DEFECTIVE TEETH

A recent investigation made by the
U. S. Public Health Service in con-
nection with studies Of rural school
children showed that 49.3 per cent
had defective teeth, 21.1 per cent had
two. or more missing teeth, and only
1863 per cent had had dental atten-
tion. Over IA per cent never used
a tooth brush, 58.2 pre- cent used one
occasionally and only 27.4 per cent
used one daily. Defective teeth re-
duee physical efficiency. Dirty, sup
purating, snaggle-toothed mouths are
responsible for many cases of heart
disease, rheumatism, and other chron-
ic acections. The children are not
responsible for the neglected state Of
their teeth. The ignorant and care
less parent is to blame for this con-
dition-a condition which hampers
mental and physical growth and puts
a permanent handicap on our future
citizens. School teachers can and are
doing much in intoxicating habits OF

HOW TO KEEP CORN FODDER

l consider well-cured and we'll pre-
served corn fodder superior in feed
ing value to timothy hay, and nearly,
if not quite equal to clover hay, writes
j. A. Raiser, successful Ohio farm
er, in Farm and Home. Preserving
the feeding value of corn fodder be-
gins with the ripening of the crop.
Upon cutting at the right time and
upon the stability Of the shocks de-
pends the feeding value.
Let the corn get pretty ripe, not dry
but part of the ears white and
lou will have a sweeter, more palat-
able and better preserved fodder than
where you cut it too green, as it will
cure out quicker.
The manner in which corn shocks
are set up has much to do with the
feeding value of the fodder. The
shocks should stand erect and be vel
tied or the fodder will rapidly de-
crease in value. This applies equally
as we'll to the shocking of fodder af
ter corn has been husked out. Th'
larger you make the fodder shock
the better they will stand and be pre-
served, less fodder being exposed t
the elements.
In shocking, the bundles should b.
set upright and the tops drawn tight
ly together and tied, which will no
vide all the slant necessary. Don
set up fodder promiscuously, here
bundle and there another, but begi
a center and keep on building aroun
the one set up before, until the entir
it, pressing one bundle tightly agains
shock is complete. This method wi
leave the wind very little chance
hold and tear out protruding bundle!
as there will be practically a smoot
surface all around the shock.
