BIG GUN TOURNEY AT
LOCAL TRAPS SUNDAY

Amateur and professional shooters
will try for the blue rocks at the traps
of the Watertown Gun club on Sun
day, May 81. A large bunch of shooters
from the northwest will attend and will
go after the premium money end of
the shoot. Aside from the regular cash
purses, fifty dollars has been added by
the citizens of Watertown, and with
fairly good weather the number of gun
men at the traps should be greater
than in former years.
The program will start at 10 a. m.
and the cars on the interurban will
leave Watertown every hour on the
new schedule. Those desiring to go in
the morning can be assured that they
will have luncheon served on the
grounds at noon and during the after
non hours
The program will consist Of 100 tar
gets and the Rose point system will be
used, 4, 8, 2, 1. Under the system a
shooter may enter one or all events
and his skill be computed on each
event. The tournament is under the
auspices of the Interstate association
and is a registered tournament. Nor
rill targets will be used
Following are the events:

MONARCH TRACTOR co.
HAS MANY ORDERS

The Monarch Tractor company of
Watertown is steadily forging to the
front and the company now has orders
on hand which will keep them busy
for some time to come. They have now
ready for shipment to Russia sixty-five
farm and other tractors and are build
ing tractors of other descriptions for
farm use in this country. They have
orders for a 1920 h. p. tractor for use
in California and are about to build
20-12 and 1916 h. p. tractors for small
farms and gardening.
The plant employs about forty peo-
pie and if some of the material neces-
saryS can be secured in the markets
they will construct between 300 and
400 tractors before the close of the
present year. This will mean the en-
ployment of additional labor, and the
plant bids fair to grow into one of the
largest Industrial concerns in Water
town.

MILLIONS LOST BY DISEASE
Annual Loss Caused by Contagious
Abortion Places Heavy Tax on
Breeders-No Cure Known.

Twenty million dollars, and q good
deal more, is the annual loss caused
by contagious abortion of cows. The
loss several years ago was placed at
$2O,OOO,OOO, and since then the disease
has spread widely. Consequently it is
safe to say that the loss now is great
deal larger. 1t Is, In fact, a heavy
annual tax on the cattle man.
Contagious abortion is germ dis
ease. No reliable cure is known. The
problem is, therefore, largely one Of
prevention, says Farmers Bulletin
100, issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Prevention and control, however,
are not lazy mans job. Eternal Wig
ilance is the price of success.
Suggestions may be found in the
bulletin referred to, which may be OBJ
tanned by addressing Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. G.

CONTROLLING LICE ON HOGS
Important Factor in Development Of
AnmaIs-Crude Oil Gives Salts
factory Results.

Ransas State Agricultural ColIege)
Control of lice on hogs is an impor-
tant factor in their development. Crude
oil not only kills lice, but in addition
destroys the nits, softens the skin
and brightens the hair.
Many hog dips are on the market,
which are widely used, but the use
of crude oil gives more satisfactory
results, in the opinion of Ray Gate
wood, instructor in animal husbandry
In the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege. This oil may be applied by the
use of patent hog oilers, but as q rule
these are not satisfactory for they are
expensive and many do not apply the
oil in satisfactory manner.
One of the most satisfactory meth
DDS of applying crude oil is to drive
as many of the hogs as possible at
one time into an Enclosure in which
there is q cement floor. Oil may then

Cheap Pork Cannot Be Produced in
Pens-SuppIy Plenty Of Grazing
Of the Right Kind

It will be necessary to plant q sue
cession of pasture crops for your hogs
If you do not have sufficient perma-
nent pasture.
Cheap pork cannot be produced in
pens; the hogs must have pasture
crops that supply plenty of grazing of
the right kind. Even where one has

raise two filters year, some grazing
must be had to give the proper gains
on the pigs.

bad, routes will be discontinued
Roads which show neglect will be
more apt to be condemned than those
which have been put in first class

week-Monday, Wednesday and Fri
day, to be delivered by carrier
in the city and by mail in the country

a desire to serve the public. We are
now adding a new newspaper press,

always try to justify the confidence re-
posed in us. THE PUBLISHERS.

The News believes that while the traf-
fic signs have been placed at street in
tersections with the best intentions
and to create a system whereby driv
ers Of vehicles will more closely OBJ
serve the rules of street traffic, they
are nevertheless of but little value in
regulating street traffic. This may not
be a popular opinion but seems borne
out by facts. Constant warning, how
ever, by the patrolmen may in time
teach drivers to turn the corners &C
cording to the rules. However, in the
residential districts where the police
are not on duty but little attention is
paid to the rules. Now that there is a
city ordinance providing a penalty for
not observing the local law where
such traffic signs are placed it may re-
suit in general good to the public.
