RED LAKE NEWS NOTES

(Received too Late for Last Week.
 "What in the world do you do on homestead? I'd think you'd die of. lonesomeness."
 Could those who question thus but know the joy of liv- ing as we homesteaders know it, our senses keen with the pleasure of being at the source of things; could they but have the realization of strength and power which comes to us as we accomplish new tasks, nev- CT again would they ask.
 But we have other amuse- ments, too. Take the past week at Red Lake: Wednes- day evening was Roupe's party pronounced by one lady of some social experience to have been one of the incest dances she ever attended.
 The music, guitar, mandolin and violin were excellent. The supply of coffee and cake seem ed unlimited. The company it. self, about eighty in number. was in the jolliest mood, ready to properly warm" the house. For the house is we'll worth warming exceptionally well built, large roomy, with con- Veniences not often found on a homestead, the greatest of all being the concrete cellar.
 Then came the trial of MT. Smiths thresher at MT. King Bakers ranch. In the neigh borhood of thirty persons wit messed this and in spite of many ludicrous incidents early in the threshing, the machine was soon in excellent running order and was pronounced a decided success, leaving with the splen- did result of 25O bushels of Red Turkey wheat to MT. Bak- CTS credit.
 Monday the barbecue | at Flagstaff called MT. Claude Thomasson and others from Red Lake. Soudan grass and wheat grown on the Kinds ranch was shown at the barbe- cue. The Soudan grass was 6 fit. 9 in. high, 43 stalks from one seed; the wheat 5 fit. high
 What else are we doing?
 Most of us are having, bind ing, waiting for the threshet and the baler.
 But MT. Ed Roupe is putting in ten acres of Turkey Red.
 MT. Ernest Kincannon is dig. ging a we'll, wished by MT Boiett. MT. E1nmet Kincannor is building a ''spud house" ant granary, "spud house" being concrete lined, it's roof serving

discredit of some corn growers this
method of storing is still in vogue,
even in sections where good means of
storing could be afforded at little ex-
pense. 1t Is no uncommon sight to
see rail pen after rail pen filed with
eara of corn and without any cover,
expUsed to all the rains and SHOWS of
winter, and these In sections of the
country that produce the most corn
aud are consequently most interested
In higher-priced corn. This corn re
mains in apparently good condition
during the cold weather and is usually
placed upon the market in early
spring Filled with water, it is not
long after it is loaded into box cars
or vessels until it heats and spoils.
The installation Of elevators where
such corn can be kiln dried has been
brought about by this poor manner of
storing the corn crop. There is a
general prejudice against kiln-dried
corn, resulting from the fact that kiln
drying was first employed and is at
present employed to a very large ex-

posed to the weather.
The mistake Is sometimes made of
placing the hay crop in sheds and
barns and leaving the corn stover IN
shocks in the field. The reverse Is
better, inasmuch as most kinds of hay
will not depreciate so rapidly in feed
ing value and will keep better in
stacks and ricks than corn stover. I'm
less placed under cover stover should
be fed in the fall and early winter.
If left exposed until February or
March it has little feeding value
In the principal corn-producing
states the autumns are usually dry,
and corn fodder dries thoroughly in
the shocks and is shredded and stored
in barns or feed sheds with little dam
ger of heating or molding. The fod-

died with less waste. But in some
sections, especially in northern states,
where the corn Is full of sap when cut,
and where damp fall weather prevails,
much care is necessary in storing corn
fodder or stover to prevent heating
and mOlding. In such localities it
should be placed under cover in ricks
not more than 6 or 8 feet in thickness,
or, If shredded, layers of dry straw
several inches deep should alternate
with layers of the shredded stover.
The depth of the layers of stover can
vary from several inches to a foot or
more, according to it's dryness when
stored. The dry straw will take up
some of the moisture from the stover
and prevent heating.

produce enough milk to keep the
calves we'll and growing without much
additional feed.
A good bull will do much to Offset
defects in the cow herd. A good beef
form and a strong tendency toward
earliness of maturity are essentials.
The owners success, in fact depends
to great extent upon the bulls abili-
ty to transmit the latter characteristic
to his offspring. Money spent in ac-
quiring a bull that will do this Is like
ly to prove good investment, for the
whole baby beef industry depends
upon speed in finishing the animals
for market.
A herd at least large enough to pro
duce carload of calves a year Is rec
commended in the bulletin already men,
toned. Shipping in carload lots is
usually the only economical way of
getting stock to market. from twenty
to twenty-seven baby beeves constitut-
ing a carload. Some allowance must
of course be made for loss and for
calves that are not suited for treat
mcnt as baby beef Since well ma
tured bull can easily take care of fifty
or sixty cows, the bull charge per calf
also will be greater when the breeding
herd is small. On the other hand,
great care must be taken not to crowd
the pastures. Good blue grass or clover
should carry from fifty to a hundred
cows on a hundred acres; other pas
lures from fifty to as low as five. The
amount Of available roughage is anoth-
er important factor In determining the
size Of the breeding herd. Roughage
shOald form the basal portion Of the
ration for the cows. II cannot be
bought with profit at the prevailing
prices, and no more cows should be
kept. therefore. than the farmer can
feed with home grown roughage.

TRICKS Of THE TRENCHES
WHICH SAVE THOUSANDS
Expert Tells How Fake Orders,
Dummy Soldiers and Feints
Fool the Enemy.

There is nm old saying that there are
tricks in all trades. While arms can
scarcely be called trade. 1t has, ac-
cording to Captain Leslie Vickers, au.
thor of Training For the Trenches"
innumerable tricks Of its own, which
have been responsible for the saving
Of thousands of lives Captain vickers
outlines them in the thirteenth chap
ter Of his little manual, that headed
Tricks For the Trenches"
"One of the best ruses is to let the
emmy get hold Of fake orders. These
can be placed on bodies Immediately
after an action, and there will be a
good chance of the enemy accepting
them as genuine.
Making elaborate preparations for
an attack I'm one spot ana then actual
ly attacking from another point when
his reserves have been drawn to the
first point also used to work well.
I'm the trenches 1t was sometimes
necessary to move about the few men
first in one place and then in another
to convey the impression that we were
in considerable force.
"Ruses had to be adopted to discover
snipers. On one occasion | needed to
find sniper who had Just killed three
of my men and was such an excellent
shot that he broke my periscope. For
this purpose | made a dummy man out
Of sandbags and had soldier put him
cautiously above the parapet (head

dust that his bullet raised from his
parapet, and few well aimed artil-
lery shots put him and his loophole
out Of business. My poor dummy was
badly wounded in the process.
"The Turks in Galllpoli used to paint
some of their snipers green color
and send them between the lines among
the small bushes.
"A pretended retreat will sometimes
lure the enemy from his trenches to
destruction.
Sending out patrols in one section
to draw fire while careful reconnois-
sance work Is being done ut another
spot will sometimes find him Off guard.
I'm short. the whole business is to
get the enemy's goat Keep him
guessing. Wear him down with wor-
rying. Break his nerve and spoil his
sleep. that his physical resistance may
be weakened. On the other hand, learn
to estimate the intention of the enemy.

beeves may be described as well fat
tened, finished animals, weighing from
900 to 100 pounds and marketed
when between fourteen and twenty
months old.
The young heifers sell as well as the
steers, and the returns from the money
invested in the production of such cat
tie come quicker. On the other hand,
1t takes more experience to succeed
with baby beeves than with mature
cattle, a better grade Of stock is re-
quired, and farm roughage cannot be
substituted for grain to the same ex-
tent.
In a new publication Of the United
States department of agriculture, de-
voted to this subject, Farmers Bulle-
tin 81, it is pointed out that the first
necessity for the production of baby
beef is herd that has at least fair
amount of beef blood. The cows need
not be pure breds, but they should
have at least two or three crosses of
such blood i'm them. A prepOnderance
Of dairy blood will not give profitable
results. The cows should. however,
