BASE BALL DANCE
COMING AT LAST

The long expected base ball dance
will happen next week, at the Prog
gress hall, Tuesday evening, admis-
sion one dollar. This is to help raise
funds to keep the team in socks and
bats and in good condition generally,
instead of relying upon promiscuous
subscription altogether. But aside
from all objects, financial, spiritual
and otherwise, this dance is going to
be good. The followers of base ball
are regular enjoyers. They are the
gay birds of the sunshiny disposi-
tions. Everybody who attends will
catch the good spirit Of the good
sport. Everybody come; the light
wont hurt your eyes.
"The music will be good,
The fun and punch heap flne;
The real guy and his sweethear
Step out and get in line"

In past years the old style flaring
milk pail has been in use on the ma
Jority Of dairy farms. This pail gives
the maximum opportunity for foreign
matter to drop into the milk. Gig. 81
The essentials of sanitary milk pail
are first, that 1t shall be provided
with q small opening; second. that all
seams and grooves shall be flushed
with solder to obliterate the crevioes
which harbor bacteria; third, that pro-
vision he made for pouring out the
milk over an uncontaminated surface;
and. fourth, that the pail shall be OF
proper height for convenience in milk
ing. A small opening In the milk pail
is necessary to reduce the chance for
dirt and other foreign material to get
into the milk. This opening should
be as small as possible without reduc-
ing its size to the point where it will
be unduly difficult to draw the milk
into it. From the standpoint of clean
Illness the smaller the better, In prac-
tice II Is not advisable to have the
opening smaller than six inches In
diameter. The flushing of the seams
of the pail prevents the Judgment of

The ideal husband answered all the
questions and did all ais tasks without

Are you the husband every wife

Can you give the day of the week

Do you know when your mother-in-

When you left for the Office this
morning what kind OF dress was your
wife wearing?
Can you say offhand what the mar

meat and bread aref
Do you know the cheapest shopping

One of the tests the husbands had
was as follows: The wives stood behind

It. Each husband was required to pick

Do you make q point Of always
praising your. wife when she has

sELF-FEEDERs FOR THE PIGS
interesting Test Made at University
Farm-Youn0 Animals Permitted
to Select Own Ratlons.

(By r. c. AsHBY, Assistant Animal Hus-
bandmRn, Minnesota Experiment Sta
TOM
As interest increases In the use of
self-feeders for swine new questions
arise. One such question is this, al
low q bunch Of pigs to select their
own rations and eat at will; do the diff
ferent pigs select similar rations?"
To secure some information on this
question. we fed last summer at Uni
versity farm ten pigs on individual
self-feeders.. In other words, each pig
had his own pen and his own self
feeder. No other pigs ate with him or
slept with him. Five Of the pigs were
narrowed in March and five in May.
All were kept on self-feeders from July
10 until November 10, a total OF 1928
days. At the close of the test the
March pigs were 237 days old and
the May pigs 101 days Of age, The FIVE
March pigs averaged 2s7.1 pounds each
and the May pigs 24S.4 pounds each.
The average daily gain for the FIVE
March pigs was 1.S pounds each, and
for the May pigs was Id pounds. The
March group produced 100 pounds OF
gain for each 892.4 pounds of grain,
while the May group consumed 392.54
pounds of grain for each 100 pounds OF
pork. For the entire test the ration
selected by the March pigs contained
1925 per cent Of shelled corn, 800 per
cent Of tankage and 2.72 per cent OF
shorts. The May pigs took s6.9S pei
cent of shelled corn. 1882 per cent OF
tankage and 2.1S per cent of shorts
Each had available shelled corn
shorts, and tankage, each fed separate
with water to drink No other grains
and no pasture or milk was available
| to them.
The individual ration as taken by
each pig are not yet available.
