 Fifty pairs of hands fell eagerly to the click clicking of knitting need les this week after the supply of yarn arrived which Miss Scott con fesses 'I got at a bargain"
 The stock of yarn is growing less and the pile of hoods, scarfs and booties is growing more. Tall cup boards have been fitted with shelves to serve as a temporary storehouse for the clothing. Every girl has piece of work on hand and as soon as one is finished another one is begun.
 Boys are also learning the art of knitting and though good deal of energy is lost in the accompanying bodily contortions yet three of the biggest boys in school can show a scarf half done.

Prizes were offered II, the Girls Athletic Association, the M. D. c. The Fifth grade had the best record as the final figures were turned in having received $55.25 for tickets sold. Their success was largely due to the untiring efforts of Clara Montgomery, who received the prize for selling the largest num- Der of tickets in the grade. Clara sold 55 tickets and has the largest number of sales of any student in the school. The Sixth grade ran close second with a total of S52.5OI and with Everett Novel; the star salesman. Everett sold 45 tickets and will receive the prize for the grade. The Junior High School comes third with $50.00 to their credit. Stanley Jorgenson will re- ceive the prize of a season ticket to the Clubs dances. The Fourth grade ranks fourth with sales to- ialing $500. Royal Gunnison was high man in the individual sales of this grade. The total amount of the tickets sold by the students to- tals well over 10000.

Big Engineering Project Will Re-
claim a Lot of Land Heretofore
Wet

While the surface of the ground
was frozen and covered with snow,
and the wintry blasts that stopped
all other outdoor work swept over
the prairies, crew of men have been
tunnelling, tunnelling on the route
of drainage ditch two miles west
of Morris, and this week the Dansei-
zen lake was tapped and the success
of the largest engineering project in
the vicinity was assured. For more
than one third of mile this tile
averaged 10 feet in depth and the
deepest was carried through a tunnel
and those who are curious may still
go look down in the wells Is feet in
depth where the pipe is carrying
the water through the hill under the
bottom of the Gould lake and south
across the Brown Valley track into
a ravine on the south side of Mrs.
HOLLIS farm. Not a. single indica-
ton Of this can be seen except the
waste banks piled over. the ditch
which will soon become the same as
the remainder of the surface.
This ditch project reclaims about
a quarter section of land in the DAN
seizen lake and about the same area

those employed in the test of Segis
Fayne Johanna, is of extraordinary
interest.
The test was made in a roomy,
clean, white enameled stall, under
the supervision of representatives of
the New York State Agricultural
College, at Ithaca, N. Y. She was
MIXED every six hours. From the
time she went dry to ten days before
freshening the new champion re-
ceived the customary rations used
at Pine Grove Farms, consisting of
80 pounds grain, 40 pounds beets
and 80 pounds of beet pulp soaked
in molasses. She was then fed test
ration of 16 pounds, increasing
gradually to Is pounds, consisting of
the following mixture:
200 pounds dried distillers' grain,
100 pounds bran,
100 pounds ground oats,
125 pounds gluten,
100 pounds cotton seed meal.
80 pounds oil meal,
10 pounds table salt,
10 pounds charcoal.
On the third day after freshening
she was given 16 pounds of grain
until the sixth day, when two pounds
were added, which was systematical-
ly increased to 81 pounds. Two
pounds of cotton seed meal was also
provided and, with the following
made up the balance of the ration:
40 pounds ensilage,
100 pounds roots,
80 pounds beet pulp,
IL pounds hay.
Rock salt and plenty of water
were accessible to her at all times.
The test began December %, 1916,
and the veri6cation and observation
tests began at 4:3O p. m. on January
2 and continued for 48 hours. Dur
ing the period the following super
visors were in charge: Ray Huey,

B. ". Man Gets First SIS Hogs

Porkers have reached the SIS
mark. The first hogs purchased at
this figure at the South st. Paul
market were sold by George Moellen-
hoff, of Browns Valley, the latter
part of last week Other sales were
made at this figure before the mar
ket closed the same day.
Mr.. Moellenhoff sold 81 head OF
hogs and they averaged 235 pounds
At these figures he would receive a
sum of $2193 or an average price OF
$35.15. Twenty years ago Mr.. Noel
lenhoff who is a veteran breeder
sold hogs that we're better than these
at $3.50 a hundred weight. Prime

table giving in detail the milk and
fat taken daily from December 20 to
January 8, will prove of interest:

The best previous seven-day but
ter record was 46,772 pounds, estab-
lished by the purebred Holstein COW,
Hester Aalje Korndyke 1922,
owned by M. J. Smiley, of Belle
fourche, South Dakota.
The flattering success obtained by
Mr.. Cabana at Pine Grove Farms has
naturally brought him into the glare
of the limelight. AS he expresses it,
he went into the breeding of HoI-
steinFriesian cattle because of the
great interest attached to it. He says
further: ut means to me the devel-
oping of the most useful animal in
the world. 1 find it fascinating to
watch the progress and improve
ments we make through the appli-
cation of scientific and intelligent
breeding methods" Mr.. Cabana has
long been a prominent citizen of
Buffalo, connected with various large
business interests. He is an indefat-
igable worker and, despite his bust
ness enterprises which demand so
much of his time and energy, he is
intimately in touch at all times with
the doings. at Pine Grove Farms.
The enthusiasm and unison of pro-
gressive spirit existing among the
Holstein-Friesian cattle breeders is
best expressed in the telegram from
the owner of the eclipsed record
holder to the owner of the new cham
pion which reads: Congratulations
on the 50-pound COW. Now that the
impossible has been accomplished,
where is the end?"

HOLSTEIN cow MAKES
SENSATIONAL RECORD
Segis Fayne Johanna Established
New Worlds Record of 50.6S
/ Pounds Butterfat

Local Holstein breeders are en-
thusiastic over the seven-day record
made by a Holstein cow at Elma
Center, New York, and are looking
forward to the time when some Stew
ems county farm can produce COW
with such record. Nor is this impOs-
sible. According to the Redwood
Gazette, Milanhurst American DeKol
owned by C. A. Cabana of Buffalo,
New York, another record COW. is
the daughter of a Redwood county
sire, Hengerveld, head of the Gold,
Wise & Gold herd, one of the herds
which makes Redwood county fam
Gus. 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
26,43O lbs. of milk and 1891 lbs of
butter, giving her the highest rec
ord in the world in the senior four
year old class. In seven days she
produced "a lbs. of butter; in thirty
days she produced 1875 lbs. Another
to produce % lbs. in seven days,
eight months after calving.
Milanhurst is one of a splendid
sisterhood of Holsteins, all daugh-
tiers of Hengerveld. This sire was
the head of the original Sears-Gold
herd and was later disposed Of, his
owners believing they could get a
better sire. However, it took only a
short time to convince their herds
man that his place was not easily
filed 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 Milanhurst will have to look
sharply 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 tratment and test.
But to return to the story Of Segis
Fayne Johanna 114658. This pure
bred HOlstein-Friesian COW realized
the long-cherished hopes of enthusi-
asts and electrified the dairy world
when, under an official seven-day
test ending January 8, she estab-
lished a new worlds record for but
terfat production, producing in sew
en- consecutive days 1908 pounds of
milk containing 5O.68 pounds of but
ter. This remarkable animal has
scored brilliant triumph for the
BIack-and-Whi breed.
The pessimist had for years scoffed
at the optimist's prophecy that some
day a COW would surmount the So
pound barrier, but with Segis Fayne
Johanna's accomplishment what
seemed the almost incredible" has
happened.
Segis Fayne Johanna is the proper
ty of Oliver Cabana, Jr., proprietor
of Pine Grove Farms; Elma Center
N. Y, and was bred by A. A. Cortel-
you, of SOmmerville, N. j., having
been purchased by the present owner
at a breeders sale on January 5
1913. She is eight years old, weighs
now about 1850 pounds, and in color
is four-fifths white. Her sire is King
Fayne Segis 46767 and her dam is
Wilma Johanna 64385.
The new seven-day butter cham
pion, the sixteenth HoIstein-Friesiar
COW to obtain place in the 4O-pound
class, is the fifth worlds champion
to be developed at Pine Grove Farms
so a brief resume of the methods OF
feeding and care in operation at this
noted establishment, particularly

"Race Suicide" at Glen Park Zoo

The old gray eagle paid no at
tention to the chatter in his neigh
bors' pens. He just blinked at the
sun, which came through a chink In
his roof. Let the married folks quar-

bachelor like he, was the burden Of
his thought.

"Just like newlyweds," she spit out.
Old Wichita, Kansas Coyote. who

he's bachelor and for another he isn't

softly, that he's q mongrel.
Over In the deer pen there isn't
much anxiety. It Is rumored that an
addition is expected to the family
along in June.
But the Elks, father and mother and
all, were agitated considerably. There
was evidence of general family ruct-

morning with breakfast, but, as all
well-bred families do. the affair was
forgotten In the presence of strangers.
