DEMAND FOR RAMS
2. EXCEEDS SUPPLY.

The sheep industry in Minnesota is
suffering from a shortage Of purebred
rams, according to an announcement
being sent out by the animal husbandry
department of the Minnesota College
Of Agriculture. The announcement
says that the demand exceeds the sup
ply, breeders having disposed Of prac-
tically all of their available stock.
Because of the conditions the animal
husbandry department of the college Of
agriculture is Offering its services as
clearing house for those who may wish
to buy or sell. It asks that those who
have one or more pure-bred rams Of
serviceable age shall notify the depart
ment, which will try to put them in
touch with buyers. All notices should
state the breed, age and price Of the
rams offered.

MAKE YOUR OWN SlLO
Homemade Structure Recommended as
Good and Cheap means to Help
Reduce Feed Bills,

The zSllO was never so valuable to the
farmer as it is now in furnishing one of
the best means Of reducing feed bills,
1t can be made on the farm with little
trouble, Of either wood or concrete,
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture, which will furnish plans
and specifications without cost. Where
there is no silo, or when another is
needed, the department recommends
the building and filing of one before
frost comes.
Advantages Of the Silo.
Among the advantages claimed for
the silo, particularly at this time when
the high price Of grain threatens the
very existence of the dairy industry, is
that less grain may be fed without re-
ducing milk production, provided the
dairyman feeds more silage and legume
hay. 1t is pointed out that the build
ing of silos at this time is like the
building of ships or Notifications the
silo will help to win the war because it
means the saving of grain. Less grain
is available for the feeding Of cattle,
since it is needed for human food and
must be conserved for that need. Yet
milk production must be maintained.
and this can be done by supplementing
shortened grain ration with silage.
The silo offers the best way of pre-
serving the mature corn crop, 40 per
cent Of the food value of which is in
the stalks and leaves. It also saves
the crop which, for any reason, must be
harvested before it is mature. When
the farmer harvests only the ears Of
corn he loses nearly half the value of
the crop; when he puts it into the silo
the loss is very small. When drought
frost, or insects threaten field Of corn
before it is ripe the entire crop may be
lost unless the farmer has silo ready
in which to preserve it.
Value of Succulence.
Just as fruits and green vegetables
are canned to supply succulence to the
family during the winter, the silO sup
plies succulence to the COW, and succu-
: lence adds to the milk flow. The
abundant milk flow obtained from June
pasture is, to large extent, due to the
juices Of the grass; the silo provides a
similar juiciness during winter, when
!. pasture is not available. 1t promotes
tie health Of dairy cattle by providing
the coarse feed to which the digestive
system of the cow is accustomed.
Cows like silage, and no other feed
combines so well with dry hay and
grain to produce much milk at little
cost.

School Enrolment Good.

The enrolment of the Consolidated
schools of Alyarado shows marked
increase over preceding years. The
enrolment in each department is as
follows kindergarten, 13; First grade,
e; Second grade, 6; Third grade, IL !;
Fourth grade, 10; Fifth grade, TO-;
Sixth grade, 21; Seventh grade, q;
Eighth grade, 3; Freshmen, II; sopho-
more, 3; making a total of s3 in the
grades and 20 in the high school.
There are nine boys taking Manual
Training, three boys taking agriculture,
fourteen girls taking high school Home
Training and nine girls taking grade
Home Training.
1t is not too late to enter any de-
partment. The school authorities feel
that there are several in the district
that should be in school, Your oppor-
tunity is now. Do not put it off. En-
roll and start your work at once.

!! Orchard and Garden

81 Unsprayed orchards are never pro-
fitable. Clean bright fruit, free from
disease always finds good market.
Use more fruit and vegetables in the.
home. They will take the place Of
other more expensive foods.
Wrap apples in paper and store in
cool cellar. Do not store near potatoes
or other vegetables or the flavor may
be spoiled.
Apple butter is not bad substitute
for dairy butter.
After the first frost clear the garden
of all trash and burn tt It's good
Dlan to plow or spade the garden in
the autumn.
Is the strawberry bed in good condi-
tion and free from weeds? The fruit
crop of next spring depends largely on
the condition of the bed this fall.
Moist hay, straw, or lawn clippings
are good materials with which to
mulch blackberries. They hold moist
ure in the soil, keep the fruit clean and
keep down weeds.
Cabbages keep best in cool cellar.
If possible, hang by the stump to the
ceiling. Wrapped in paper, they keep
well. Do not pile thickly on shelves
or ia bins, or they will be likely to rot.
Some farmers appreciated the wind
I break last year as never before. Were
YOU one, or did you and the stock wade
n snow all winter? Better start q

SOUND SEED FOR
NEXT YEARS CROP.

Sound, clean, healthy seed is the first
requisite for the billion bushel wheat
crop which the government hopes to
see harvested next year, say the spec
ialists at the Minnesota Experiment
Station. A farmer who has seed from
his own crop should lose no time in
getting it ready for storage until the
time Of planting comes around. In pre-
pairing his seed for storage, tanning
mill is the first demand, as means of
removing weed seeds, smut and shrivel-
ed grain. Treatment for smut should
follow. Treatment for scab is less like
ly to yield satisfactory results, but the
tanning mill assists materially. A
farmer who depends on outside sources

ALV VARADO
THE PEOPLES LYCEUM COURSE.

Read this for a clearer and better
understanding Of the Peoples Lyceum
Course Of Alyarado.
What 1t is.
The Peoples Lyceum Course Of Al
varado is series of five entertain-
ments distributed thruout the winter
season and given under the direction
of the University Of Minnesota. These
programs will lead among the winters
pleasures that will long stay in your
memory because Of their superior
quality and high class. They are the
kind Of entertainments that you have
long wished for and price that puts
them within eyeryones reach. This
course is for you. It will interest and
entertain you better than any series Of
shows that have yet been seen in Al
varailo.
The Profit.
There is no profit. Any money that
there may be above the cost of the
course will be turned into the treasury
to apply on a better course next season.
If a Loss Who Stands tt?
Several of the men of Alvarado have
pledged themselves to see that a GER
tain amount is paid for the entire
course. Should the sale of season and
single admission tickets fail to bring in
sufficient money to pay for the course
then the signers Of the contract will
make up the deficit. If anyone takes
advantage of this wonderful opportuni-
ty (and we hope everyone should and
Willy then there will be no deficit and
a better course for the coming season is
assured.
The Admission.
Adults season tickets including re-
served seat for the season, $1.5O );
childs season ticket, ST.. If reserved
Soc additional.
Get your season ticket early and
have your pick of the reserved seats.
All seats may be reserved at the Alvar-
ado Drug Store on and after Monday,
Oct. 80 The first one at the store with
their season ticket at 9 o'clock that
morning has the choice of any seat in
the house.
Do not hesitate. We need good
shows here and you want them. Here
is the opportunity to have them as a
permanent institution and at very
low rate. No travelling show with its
cheap class Of entertainment can begin
to compete with these high class per-
formances at any rate.
Buy your ticket from one Of the
statesmen and help him win the prize.

If not the inventors of the matinee

Not until 1878 did the matinee be-
come a fixed and regular feature of
even the Bancroft management. 1t
was a byproduct Of Diplomacy" the
success of which made any means of
providing additional performances ac-
ceptable. Sir Squire Bancroft has put
1t on record that at the beginning the
matinee was much more costly affair
than it is now, as frequent and sepa-

were necessary to make it KNOWN

rhi, Monster Does Exist.

The dingonek is huge, unclassifled
aquatic monster. 1t resembles in many

its numerous tributaries, and there Is
no record of the monster having been
seen In any other part of the world.

the huge prehistoric saurians that has

1t does in impenetrable regions far
away from the encroachments Of civ
ilized man-continued with but slight
notifications through prodigious ages
to the present time, or whether it Is an
unclassi6ed reptile or amphiblan, 1t is
equally impossible to say, as no speci-

however, there can be no particle of

Simple Remedy
For RattleSnake Bite

What would you do If, when alone
out in the mountains, you were bit.
ten by rattlesnake? Hrere is what
w. S. Copley did on July 25, as re-
lated in a late issue of the Glendale
Times:
Mr.. Copley was alone at the
mines being employed as watchman.
He had just left the house and step
ped down over a ledge about foot
high, when he felt a heavy thud
and sharp pain on the outside Of his
left leg just below the knee. Copley
says he became extremely busy and
did not lose even fraction of sec
ond in widening the distance between
himself and the rattle, which i'm
mediately recoiled and prepared for
another strike. However, II was then
Copley's turn at the bat, and with a
spade he scored a complete knock
out on his snakeship. The snake
gave no warning for the reason that
he had previously lost his rattles,
but he certainly did strike a hard
blow for his length, being not over
two and a half feet long. His fangs
penetarted Copley's trousers, draw
ers and hose and sank deep enough
into the flesh to cause blood to run
down into his shoe.
Just what Copley did being out in
the mountains alone should be of in
terest to those who frequent the
mountains. He calmly broke an egg.
beat it up, and mixed 1t thickly with
salt to form poultice. This was
placed on the wound for twenty min

Salt Means Much to Health.

IF. the human race should be de.

would not only lose a natural health

with all its attendant miseries, would
spread with such relentless speed as to
defy the efforts of the most skillful
doctors of the land. Ailing persons
frequently refuse sugar, but they sell

salt. That is because there is in the
body deficiency Of chloride Of sodium.
and nature intuitively excites the de-
sire for it. Salt is essential to health
and life and is as much a food as
