Redwood County
to Test Its Cows
Work of Forming Association
Well Started; To Begin in
Earnest Soon
FOREST HENRY BOOSTS
A. D. Stewart, D. L. Crimmins
And G.. w. Gold to Head
Work of Organizing

During the Farmers Institute
recently held here, steps were
taken toward organizing tie
first County Cow Testing Assoc
citation which Redwood County
has ever had. A tentative or
ganization was perfected with
A. D. Stewart, G. w. Gold and
D. L. Crinmins as the executive
committee and officers. AS soon
as the roads become travelable,
these men will get in touch with
the owners of some of tie fine
herds of the county, and the or
ganization will be completed.
One of the most ardent enthu-
siasts in the state in the matter
of proper testing of cows is For
est Henry of Dover, Mimi, a
prominent institute worker.
While here Mr.. Henry told OF
the formation of a testing asso-
citation in the vicinity in which
he lives, making the emphatic
statement that the "cow test
ing association caused more
progress in dairying this last
year than was made before in
twenty years." Mr.. Henry also
gave some excellent advice as to
the method of procedure in get
ting such an organization in the
most effective working trim.
The cost, to each farmer, of
such an association is very slight
indeed, and in no sense compar-
able to the results of having ex-
pert testing, expert accounting
of costs of feed, etc., and ex-
pert advice on herd improve
ment. One year of utilization
with such an association, should
prove to farmer which cow is
money maker and which one
| isn't worth her salt.
Each farmer joining the AS
ISOLATION must pledge ten cows
for one year at cost OF S1.50
per cow. Twenty-six farmers
must each make this pledge be-
fore the State department can
send one of it's experts to do the
/ testing. This man visits each
farm in the association once
each month, and makes. all tests,
assists the farmer in keeping
his test records, feed accounts,
etc.

REDWOOD MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY
Sarah Wilmer to
be Here Wednesday
Postponed Number of Lecture
Course To Be Given To-
night, March %

Sarah Wilmer, the reader who
has in the past proved such a
favorite with Redwood Falls au-
diences, will give her evening
of entertainment at the Armory
tonight, March %.
Miss Wilmer was to have CIV
en- her program two weeks ago
tonight but because of the train
service she was unable to get
nearer than Sleepy Eye, and it
was feared her dating for Red
wood Falls would have to be can
celled. However, through the
energy and perseverance of P.
V. Finley, local manager OF the
lecture course, Redwood Falls is
to have the opportunity to again
hear Miss Wilmer, who made
such a favorable impression here
two years ago by her reading
of the Sign of The Cross. So
the tickets which proved useless
two weeks ago will be brought
out and put to good service at
the Armory tonight.

Fire Truck Coming

The fire truck which the Red
wood Falls Fire Department has
ordered from the Northwestern
Cadillac Company Of Minneap-
oils, will be delivered in Red
wood Fails about the first of
May, according to the state
ment of R. Stensvad, local rep
resentative of the Cadillac Com
pany. The chassis which was
especially constructed at the
Cadillac factory, has been deliv-
cred in Minneapolis and is now
in the factory of the Northern
Fire Apparatus Company where
it is being fitted out with the
special fre-fghting equipment.
Chief Joe Corbett of the De-
partment informs The Gazette
that the truck should be here
in about thirty days, and that
Redwood Falls may look for a
much improved fire protection

A Correction

In the letter from the Mar
shall News-Messenger, reprinted
on the Gazette's editorial page
this week, a slight change in the
wording should have been made.
In asking "the Commercial Club
to do all i'll it's power to prevent
the passage of this BILL" the
writer undoubtedly meant "the
passage of the amendment. "
The bill itself as it passed the
House, gives the guard the ex-
ira pay without reservation: it
is in the amendment attached to
this bill that the danger of the
boys not receiving their pay,
turks. While all present at the
meeting and all who heard the
sentiment of the men present
expressed by the resolution
passed, will thoroughly under
stand, the confusion of amend
ment and bill might give, to
those not present, wrong idea.
All those present were heartily
in favor of the bill passing the
Senate, without amendment.

{. {. King Says 1t
Was Great Success
C. G. Croker Praised by Farmer
Whose Large Bill He Sells
at Auction

c. Co. King informs The Ga
zette that in spite of the post
ponement of his auction and the
very bad roads at the time
it was. finally held last
Thursday, the results from it
pleased him greatly, the aggre-
gate price of the stock ana ma
ohinery being at least $500 more
than his pre-sale estimate. Alb
solutely nothing of the big list
was reserved and the prices
brought were excellent. This is
partially due to the splendid
quality of everything placed on
sale, and in a large measure due
to the splendid work of c.. c..
Croker of Morgan who cried the
sale.
Mr.. King, as we'll as many of
those present at the sale, speak
in the highest terms of Mr..
Crocker's work, his pleasing
manner and fair statements sat
isfying both the owner and the
purchaser. While Mr.. Croker
has not cried many sales in the
immediate vicinity Of Redwood
Falls, he has met with much
success elsewhere, and his work
the other day bespeaks many
future successes for him here.
Many Of Mr.. Kings fine hor-
ses and cattle will stay in this
immediate vicinity, Mr.. White
the new owner of the farm hav,
ing purchased the majority OF
the cattle and five of the
purebred Percheron horses were
purchased by Fred Banker Of
Redwood Falls. Many single ami
mails were also bought by indi
vidual farmers in this vicinity.

Famous Cow Has
Relatives Here
Milanhurst America DeKOl, Rec
ord Breaker, Sired by Head
of Gold Herd

1t has just been brought to
the attention of Redwood Coun-
ty Holstein fanciers that that
famous COW, Milanhurst Ameri-
ca DeKol, who has deliberately
smashed SO many records, is the
daughter of a Redwood County
sire, Hengerveld, head of the
Gold, Wise & Gold herd, one of
the herds which makes Redwood
County famous.
Milanhurst America DeKol is
owned by C. A. .Cabanna of Buff
falo, N. Y, and is only one Won
der of the wonderful Holstein
herd owned by this millionaire
stock raiser. She is the first
cow in the world who has ever
been tested for one full year and
during this year she broke eight
world records.
During this year she produced
26,430 lbs. of milk and 1881 lbs.
of butter, giving her the high
est record in the world in the
senior four-year old class. In
seven days she produced "a lbs.
of butter; in thirty days she
produced 125 lbs. Another of
her wonderful achievements was
to produce % lbs. in seven days,
eight months after calving.
Milanhurst is one of a splen-
did sisterbood of Holsteins, all
daughters of Hengerveld. This
sire was the head Of the original
Sears Gold herd and was later
disposed of, his owners believ-
ing they could get a better sire.
However, it took only a short
time to convince their herdsman
that his place was not easily
filled and they bought him again
Eight of his daughters have been
purchased for the Cabanna Farm
in New York, an agent coming
here to look them up, and Mil
anhurst will have to look sharp
ly after her laurels as the eldest
of these heifers, all the others
being right on the same farm
with her, to profit by the same
! treatment and test.

Citizens Discuss
Water Situation
Residents Must Boil Water; Re-
pairs Made at Earliest Pos
Sible Moment
PROBATION NECESSARY
Epidemic of Typhoid Not Prob.
able; Merely Possible Unless
Care Is Taken

Forty-fve of the representa-
tive citizens of Redwood Falls
met at the Armory Monday af-
ternoon to discuss the problem
of supplying the city with pure
drinking water during the ii ne
the city water plant is under
going repairs. The numbe: Il
Guided th,ee physicians, mem
bers of the Council, drainage en-
gineers and others qualified TO
give facts on the situation and
, the matter was talked over in a
spirit of frank friendliness.
Judge A. C. Dolliff presided at
the meeting, at the request OF
F. L. LobdeH, president of the
Commercial Club, who had called
the meeting.
While it was agreed that a
typhoid epidemic is possible
while it is necessary for the city
to use a certain amount Of lake
water, it IS not at all probable
that such an epidemic will
break out, and absolutely UNI
necessary to run any risk of
such sickness if people will fol-
low the laws of ordinary clean
liness and decency and boil the
water. Whether the water con-
tains the typhus germ or not, it
is not of a quality that people
with any love for cleanliness will
care. in any case, to drink it UNI
til it has gone through the pro-
cess of publication by boiling.
The City Council and A. G..
Burmeister are very evidently
putting forth every possible eff
fort to repair the damaged pipe
and to again supply the city with
the spring water which has been
the source of such satisfaction
To residents here. In the mean
time the physicians of the city
are united in the opinion that
the Simple III CSduClOlA VI ~ ~
ing boiled water, and plenty OF
it. is all that is necessary. 1t
is possible, however, for every
one in the least alarmed, to be
made immune from typhoid by
a simple vaccination, and sew
eral families have already un-
dergone this treatment with
very slight inconvenience.
Following suggestion by G.
P. Smith that the council UNI
dertake g campaign of simple
education on the necessity OF
boiling all drinking water, the
Board of Health has issued a
statement giving this advice to
all householders. Sen. Frank
Clague also advocated that some
steps be taken to supply the
school children with drinking
water from some pure source.

 What has become of our old friend, the Pea Ridge Pod' man. It's about time for him to come again. We might feed him on duck as the creeks are pretty full now Anyhow, Brother Harper, hustle him out this way, as we always like to see him.
 W. D. Rene, our road overseer, is busy with the roads again. Now let Judge Miles carry out his agreement and build a good bridge across Brin- gle Creek. The good people donated the money and bought a right of way. It's up to the judge. The people of this end of Pulaski county certainly are going to expect that bridge built. It is sometimes day or so before wagons can cross at this point and q bridge is badly needed, as this is the main road from Little Rock to the western part of the state and automo- piles depend on this route. So judge, don't forget your friends!
 Cotton is nearly all out
 Felix Mortendeer has accepted DO sition with J. B. Stowers in his store on Bringle Creek. Felix is going to buy all the live 'possums the boys will bring him. So get busy, boys.
