GETTING BACK TO LIVE STOCK.
The Hunger for Live Stock on the
Farm Plainly is Evident.

The hunger for live stock on the
farm plainly is evident. Ten dollar
market quotations look good to men
without cattle, hogs or sheep, as well
as to those who are selling them. 1T
is not surprising that western heifers
should be advertised at 81 to $4 per
head more than steers, or that gov
ornamental aid should have been CIV
en- in western Canada to farmers buy
ing stock
Last year through official encour-
Iagement Saskatchewan farmers
bought several times as much breed
ing stock as the year before, mainly
cattle and sheep. There was an i'm
mense grain crop and a good market
for it, but the stock was wanted any
way. In this country there is much
the same incentive. There are some
who flop from grain to live stock and
back again as markets fluctuate. But
there is room and the need for more
live stock, even if markets for it
were lower.
High markets serve useful pur-
pose at this time in turning attention
to the possibilities of stock farming.
Men who buy breeding stock with
the hope of making easy money out
of it will stick to the business so as
to hold the economics Of production
and the balance of labor and fertility
which stock farming offers.
Some men do not know good
thing when they see it, unless it is
tagged with the price. They may buy
cows or ewes on that basis-just be-
cause they are so expensive that they
naturally should produce stock that
would command similar prices. Let
such purchases give attention to the
economics which live stock makes for
the farm as whole, and they will
continue breeding and feeding at a
profit even after prices decline.
By that time they will know such
a good thing as that by actual ex-
perience. The land needs the stock
Even the richest corn land shows the
need of conservation. Much othc>

longer without some fertility protec.

CLASS PLAY WAS FINE.
Graduating Class of DEBORAH High
School Scored Great access
With Glass Play.

Last Wednesday evening the class
play of the DEBORAH high school
graduating class, "A College Girl Out
West" was given at the Grand.
To say that the play was we'll re-
ceived is putting it mildly and each
individual carried their respective
parts in capital manner, which re-
flected great credit not only on them
but the school they represented.
The graduating exercises which
were to be held Thursday night were
not held on account of the food, and
the inability Of the speaker OF the
evening to get here. Saturday the
graduates were presented with their
diplomas by Supt. Fleming at the
nigh school building.
On Saturday evening the Junior
Senior reception was held, and it
proved very enjoyable affair.

Speaking in Pubic.

The ordinary hoy is selt-conscious,
and there is nothing he dlslikes moro
to do in school than to get up and
speak piece" That he so dislikes
to do it is prima-facie evidence that
it is good thing for him to do. Il
lis only by performing disagreeable
tasks, and particularly by submitting
to discipline that compels forgetful-
ness Of self, that a boy makes pro-
'gress. No boy can learn 10 speak
well in public until he forgets him
self
Yet there are many schools AID
colleges in which public speaking is
not compulsory and is indeed prac-
ticed to a very limited extent The
consequence is that many an educat-
ed man who finds himself on some
occasion compelled by circumstances
to make a speech does it awkwardly
and ineffectively-not because he
has uOJulHS W say, Dut ueCduSe
standing up before an audience
makes him acutely self-conscious. He
becomes constrained, timid and shy
afraid to let himself go and let his
subject carry him along; he is dis
turbed by the many pairs or eyes that
are intently focused on him, and
morbidly apprehensive that there is
a hostile significance in the intent
ness of the gaze.
Practice in declaiming the poems
or the speeches of others is valuable
to any boy or young man. But he
can derive much more useful expert
ence from extemporaneou speaking
in debate, or from more formal
speaking either with or withou!
notes, on a subject that he has stu
died. BY such practice the ordin-
airy intelligent boy will soon acquire
facility and fiuency and will over
come the consciousness that
unless it is overcome, may seriously
handicap him in later life.-Youth'

MEET HERE THIS WEEK,
VOsselaget Meet Will be Held Here
Tomorrow and Friday.

About s years ago lady of Vos-
sings met and organized the Vossel-
aget, being an organization of Nor
wegians who hailed from Voss, Nor
way, and come to this country to
make it the land of their choice. IT
is interesting to know that among
these people are relatives and friends
who are scattered over the North
west, and the organization has been
a means of bringing them together to
renew old acquaintance and rela-
tives, besides program consisting
of speeches and music is carried out
at these gatherings. Judge A. Grinde-
land, of Warren, Mimi, Winneshiek
county product, is president of the
society.
Prof Lars Rogue of the Luther
College faculty is a member of the
board of directors. Some prominent
men are expected to be in attendance,
such as Attorney Lund Of Webster,
South Dakota; r. A. Nestos, of Mi
not, N. D., candidate for U. S. SEN
ator from that state, and others.
Prof. Lars Doe of Minneapolis and
Rev. o. Z. Larson, of Willmar, MINI.
are among the speakers.
There will be a business meeting
in the forenoon and afternoon of
Thursday followed by automobile
trips around the city. In the eve
ming at 6 o'clock banquet will be
served in the College Auditorium,
consisting of Norwegian delicacies,
with walters dressed in costumes of
the old country. Possibly 200 will be
in attendance.
On Friday program, consisting of
speeches and music will be carried
out, either at the city park or the
Norske Selskab rooms over the Ma
tional Bank. Although DEBORAH does
not look as beautiful as usual on ac-
count of the food, it is hoped that
the visitors will find enough of sight
seeing and entertainment to make the
trip profitable. The city welcomes
these descendants of the sturdy old
vikings.

REV. THOMAS NILSSON DEAD.
Beloved Lutheran Minister Passed
Away at Home in DEBORAH
Thursday.

Last Thursday the community was
shocked when news of the death Of
Rev. Thomas Nilsson was made
known at his home in this city, He
had been a sufferer for the past five
years from diabetes.
Rev. Nilsson was born in Tvedt,
Norway, April 2, 1862, and came to
this country in 1883, and direct to
DEBORAH. He became a student at
Luther College, graduating in 1889
and afterwards attended the Luther
an Seminary at st. Paul, graduating
from there in 1892. That same year
he went to Chicago where he was a
minister until 1897, going from there
to st. Paul, where he remained until
1904, and from there he went to
IRidgeway where he was pastor until
1913, when he and his family came
10 DEBORAH to live, having retired
from active work as a minister. He
had been the editor of the Synod or
gan, Kirkedidende until his death,
and from 1904 until 1909 was presi-
dent of the Synod ministerial Asso-
citation. Since 1908 he was presi-
dent of the Publishing House in this
city.
In the death of Rev. Nilsson the
community loses most valuable
citizen, and the church with which
he was affiliated strong pillar. He
was a very influential church leader
and espoused the matter of church
union very strong He was a man
possessed Of fine character and a
most pleasing disposition, which en-
deared him in strong ties, not only
to the congregations he had charge
of during his ministerial work, but
to all who ever had the pleasure of
his acquaintance.
He is survived by the bereaved
widow, and one daughter Martha,
who this year graduates from the
Ladies Seminary at Red Wing, and
one son Norman.
The funeral services were held
Sunday from the F. n. E. Lutheran
church. Rev. ]. B. Torrison oisiciat-
ed at the home, and President J..
Norby of the Eastern District and
Rev. o. j. Kvale, of Orfordsville,
Wis. officiated at the church, the lat
ter speaking in English. The funer-
al was very large, and many beauti-
full flowers were Brought by delegates
from congregations formerly served
by him. The interment was in the
Norwegian cemetery.

THE SPEEDING AUTOMOBILE.
The Automobile That Hits and Runs
Away is Common.

The speeding automobile that
smashes something and skips before
its number is discovered, is common.
The chances for successful escape
are fairly good. In case of accident,
people are often too confused to
look at or remember numbers cor
rectly.
The danger from reckless automo-
bile driving increases, and many ex-
listing provisions of law have become
out of date. Probably the number
plates for cars should be made larger
SO as to be read more easily. In some
states the idea of separating the first
two numerals by a dash from those
following is tried and seems to make
a number read more easily.
The idea should be drilled into the
public mind, particularly into all who
use motor cars, that a quick reading
iof the number Of an offending ma
chine is the one protection and means
of redress. The machine that smash
es into your unoffending car may
come from thousand miles distant.
The chances are hundred to one
that 1t is a stranger whom you never
saw. The car number is the one tie
binding him to justice and the law OF
the land. Don't let that string slip
out of your fingers.
The number plates of the different
states should look as diverse as pos
sible, so that the license of almost
any nearby state could be recognized
by the colors, shape, or size Of the
plate. These differences exist to a
degree. But by consultation among
the licensing authorities, greater
variations could be secured so that
the plates Of different states could be
better distinguished.
1t shocks ones faith in human ma
ture to read of some things that hap
pen on the road. Carelessly to run
down an unoffeuding person is bad
enough. But to commit that act,
and then to run without offering as
sistance, is about the most sneaking
act imaginable. The law should make
clear distinction between the mo-
torist who stops and helps and one
who runs. If a few of those fellows
could be severely punished, other
hogs OF the same breed would con-
cludc that it is better to stop than
to run.

How to Dose Animals.

| After thrusting struggling pork
err into a barrel and pouring his med
icine on and not in him, the amateur
veterinary will do well to heed the
following suggestion for giving medi-
cine to animals which is printed in
Farm and Fireside:
when fluid medicines is to be
given to sheep, cattle, horses, o.
swine, a practical and simple form of
drenching tube can be made by TAX
| ing piece of rubber tubing one-half
inch in diameter and about three ,r
four feet long. Affix tin funnel to
one end of the tube and a piece Of
iron or brass tubing four to six in
ches long at the other end.
When drenching, insert the metal
| tube into the animals mouth back as
far as the metal tube will reach then
elevate the funnel end and allow the
drenching medicine to slowly pass in
to the animals mouth. Care should be
|
too high-just high enough to al
low the medicine to gradually flow
back to the back part of the mouth.
1.-THE medicine can be checked if
flowing too fast by pinching the rub
Der tube.
''In most cases it is better to drench
the animal while standing, and in The
case of sheep, if the medicine is CIV.
en- in standing position, the gasoline
remedy or similar worm remedies
will pass directly to the fourth stom-
ach, whereas if the medicine is given
when the sheep is placed on it's
launches or in sitting position the
medicine has been found to be less
effective"

Novel Use for Peat.

Some interesting uses are being
made of peat il. the United States.
1t is manufactured into a fertilizer
and employed AS fertilizer filler.
1t is also used for making paper,
stock food and mud baths.
In Germany and Austria peat baths
have become well-established institu-
tions within the last few years, and
recently such baths have been tried
in some of the sanitariums Of the
Middle West with excellent results in
certain, cases.
AS a food for live stock, however,
peat seems to have found it's mos.
curious use, inasmuch as the kind
of peat used is thousands of years
cid, and, though it is still vegetable

in character, it is only step remov-
cd from a low-grade coal.
AS stock food it is Used in mix
ture containing molasses. Results
have been reported by veterinarians
as satisfactory, the peat acting as "a
tonic and corrective.
The kind used is the black, well
humified, or rotted kind. 1t is pre-
pared in virtually the same manner
as that intended Tor use as fertiliz-
er.
About $1,000 tons of peat was
mined in the United States last year,
with a value of approximately $685.
900. 1t is not generally realized tina:
