Fair Dates Will Not Conflict.

The dates of the Mile Laos, Sher-
bume, Anoka, Isanti, Kanabec and Pine
county fairs will not conflict the com
ing fall. At meeting held in Mime
apolis yesterday representatives of the
agricultural societies Of the above nam
ed counties agreed upon non-conflict-
ing dates.
Mile Laos county was represented
at the meeting by Charles Keith, j. J.
Skahen and Ira G. Stanley of Prince

years fair will be held upon the dates
previously decided upon-September
Is to 16, inclusive.
This is a move in the right direc-
ton, as these fairs have considerable
territory in common, and all will be
benefited.

Proud of Its Electric Plant.


Last weeks Star-News contained an
illustrated write-up of the new electric
power plant that has just been in
stalled at that place. The people of
Elk River have reason to feel proud
of their electric plant, and they ought
to appreciate the enterprise and pub
lie spiritedness Of Mr.. 81. D. Water
mantle man who gave it to them.
It was quite dark the other evening
when the Princeton train passed
through Elk River and one could not
help noticing how pleasant and cheer
full the place looked with it's brilliantly
lighted streets, stores and residences.
But the miserable old railroad depot
with its smoky kerosene lamp was a
.veritable cave Of gloom.

Self Fed Pigs Show Like Tastes.

AS interest increases in the use Of
self-feeders for swine new questions
arise. One such question is this, "Allow
a bunch Of pigs to select their own ra-
tions and eat at will; do the different
pigs select similar rations ?"
To secure some information on this
question, we fed last summer at
University Farm 10 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 IS: total of
1928 days. At the close of the test the
March pigs were 237 days old and the
May pigs 191 days Of age. The five
March pigs averaged 287.1 pounds
each and the May pigs 2484 pounds
each.
The average daily gain for the five
PISS was Lao pOLl1uo SdCIl, <1l1u
for the May pigs was is pounds. The
March group produced 100 pounds of
gain for each 1924 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
1926 per cent Of shelled corn, 9O2 per
cent Of tankage and 27.2 per cent of
shorts. The May pigs took 5000 per
cent Of shelled corn, 1882 per cent of
tankage and 2.19 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. ~. $780,
The individual rations as taken by
each pig are not yet available, but will
be published later. C. .Ashby, As

MAR KET IS QUIET
Receipts and Shipments Have Been
Extremely Light at Princeton
During the Past Week.
Potato Holdings in the Nineteen Lead
ing Northern States 50 Per
Cent Short ofta Year Ago.

Nothing doing" sums up the local
potato situation, briefly but compre-
hensively. Receipts have been ex-
tremely light the past week, due to
the cold weather, and there have been
few shipments. The market has rang
ed from Csc to Toe on all varieties ex-
cept Triumphs, which have been worth
from 90c to 95c.
The outside market is firm. The
Chicago market had an active trade
last week with limited offerings.
The federal bureau of Crop EST
mates, under date of Jan. 81, issued a
report Of Irish potato holdings in the
49, leading northern producing states
on January l. The report says stocks
were unusually small or just the re-
verse of conditions of a year ago. The
report also says that southern potato
growers who compete in the spring
months with stocks carried over in
the northern states probably will not
meet the same conditions as prevailed
last spring. The report then says:
Supplies on hand January 1, 1916,
for market, are estimated to be about
80 per cent smaller than a year ago,
Is per cent smaller than two years
ago, 30 per cent smaller than three
years ago, but 16 per cent larger than
four years ago.
II, for the purpose Of comparison,
the estimates in percentages Of mar
ketable stocks Of potatoes on January
/ be applied to the estimates Of total
production, it shows, in the states in
cluded (Which produced 66 per cent Of
the 1915 crops and 70 per cent of the
1914 crop Of the United States), to-
tai of 1O5, 345,OOO bushels January /,
1916, compared with 169, 1854, 900 a
year ago, 1913, $4,000 two years ago,
149, 845,000 three years ago and co.
778,OOO four years ago.. The United
States seldom imports or exports
relatively a large quantity Of potatoes.
Therefore, the European war has no
material direct influence upon the po-
tato market Of the United States"
According to the Chicago Packer the
potato situation in the east last week
was rather puzzle. Conditions were
easy in New York, prices weaker in
Michigan, with Maine shipping sec
lions holding very firm. Western New
York potato growers are letting go at
$1.00 bushel.

FORMALIN TO RELIEVE BLOAT
Promising Results Secured in Expert
ments Conducted by Experts at
Kentucky Station.

Experiments conducted at the Ken
lucky station with fOrmaldehyde as
treatment for cattle badly affected
with blOat caused by eating too much
succulent clover or alfalfa has given
very promising results.
One-half ounce of fOrmalin in one
quart of water makes the proper sOlu-
ton for treating bloated animals.
After administering the remedy, a
block of wood is placed in the animals
mouth to allow the better escape of
the gas. In all the cases tried the
cows were in normal condition 20 to
% minutes after the formalln solution
was given. even when the animals
were badly blOated and in a dangerous
condition. Formalin is a trade name
for 40 per cent solution of formalde-
hyde, and can be secured at any drug
store.

FAMILY-TABLE FOOD SUPPLY
Many Advantages in Raising Fruit,
Vegetables, Meat, Bread, ETC.
Convenience Counts.

There are many advantages in rails
ing enough fruit, vegetables, meat,
bread and strip to supply the family
table. The difference in cost between
the store-bought foods and those
raised on the farm should be sufficient
argument to convince people.
But there is another advantage that
is not always mentioned when people
are arguing for home-raised foods.
That is convenience.
When the keeper of the farm home
has unexpected company, as she often
does, or when she is very busy with
her housework and finds that the sup
plies are out, she is greatly embar-
raised. But If she has the pantry, the
stOrehouse, the smOkehOuse filled, little
time may be lost in preparing an APP
petizing meal.
Even when vegetables must be gath
cred from the garden, fruits from the
orchard, peas, beans or potatoes from
the fields, less time is lost and much
less expense incurred than when some
one with team must go to town.
Think of convenience and economy
when you are planting crops for the
food supply.

100000 to 100000.
The council has taken up the ques-
ton of putting in a sewerage system
at Nez Perez, Idaho, and is having
surveys and estimates of the cost
made. 1t is estimated that the sys-
tenn will cost $4,000.
Plans for increasing the yard ca
pacity of the Great Northern at Hill
yard to the extent of from five to six
miles, at a cost of approximately $780,
600, have been completed. There will
be at least five more tracks, which
will be 1000 feet each in length. This
will be to increase the facilities for
storing either empty or loaded cars
which are being handled in transit.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: The outstand-
ing and most reassuring feature of the
business situation, as it has been for
some time, is the increased caution
manifest in banking, porducing and
distributing channels. Foreign devel-
opments have accentuated the tendency
toward wholesome conservatism, with
out affecting the progress of finance,
of lessening the volume of transactions
in trade and industry, and recent spec
ulative readjustments have made the
general outlook distinctly clearer
Strength continues pronounced in
many quarters, and buyers, while oper-
ating with sustained confidence, give
more consideration to the elment of
cost in making commitments for the
future. Activity in some branches has
subsidized, as it invariably does at this
season, with statesmen coming in from
the road for the holidays and annual
inventories under way or in course OF
preparation Weekly bank clearings
were $5,677, 1S6,3S7.

IN CONGRESS.
DECLARES IT IS A FAILURE

Great Expense.

hington.-Senator William e.
Borah of Idaho intends to bring every
possible influence to bear to secure
legislation at this session of congress
to abolish the national guard of the
several states.
That the national guard not only is
failure as an arm of defense, but a
menace to the country, will be strong
ly urged by the Idaho stateman, who
will contend that the only militarism
that threatens the country is a com
bination of the militia power and the
political power
AS evidence that the militia is in
politics up to its armpits Senator
Borah intends to submit to the senate
an interesting letter which, he says
was sent out lby A. B. Critchfield
former adjutant general of Ohio, to
republicans of the Buckeye state In
attempt to line them up for former
Senator Charles Dick for the nomina
ton for United States senate.
This letter, Senator Borah says, fur
nishes the most convincing evidence
that the national guard is perniciously
active in politics.
