AVERAGE LABOR FOR HORSES
Horse on Grain Farm Works Three
Hours Day-Different on Diver
sified Crop Farm.

On the grain farm the heaviest work
for the horses comes in April, May
August, September and October. The
rest of the time there is practically
nothing for the horses to do. But
enough horses have to be kept during
the year to take care of the work dur
ing these busy months. When aver
aged up, the horse on the grain farm
only works three hours a day. These
figures were secured in an investiga-
ton by the Minnesota experiment Sta
ton. under the direction of Thomas
Cooper, now director of the North Da-
kota experiment station.
In this same investigation it was
found that when the crops are diversi-
fled, the horse labor is better dis
tributed. There is less work for the
horses in the seasons that are the busi-
est on the all-grain farm, and there is
work for the horses when there is
no work for the horses on the all-grain
farm.

Statistics show that it has cost this
country $40 1000, 900 so far to capture
Villa-dead or alive. So far from
capturing him. or making any serious
attempt to do so, the bandit has in
creased his army from about rs fol-
lowers when our punitive raid was
begun, to $4,000 men at the present
time. What this government really
should have done would have been to
take about $500 of that $4,000, 900
and bought Mexico. then by this time
they could have had it under control
and started upon the A-BCs of civil

Seed Control

aside from the specific means of
control the most practical M thod of
combating diseases discussed in pota-
toes is probably that of the seed plot.
For this purpose the farmer employs
in the fisrt year the best stock avail
able, planting it upon his lest soil
type, and caring for it in the most i'm
proved manner. From time to time
during the growing season the weak,
diseased or otherwise undesirable
plants are rogued out At digging
time it is highly desirable to harvest
at least a portion of this field by
hand, selecting those hills whose
yields approximate most closely to
the growers ideal Tubers btained
in this way form the nucleus for the
next years seed plot If this method
is followed consistently. many OF the
diseases which are now so vexatious
will be largely held under control,
and in addition the general v'sor and
consequent productiveness of stock
will be held at a high level"

at certain height in the trough the
ball will float in such a position that
the arm will keep the valve on the
supply pipe closed.
As the water is depleted by stock
drinking the ball sinks with 1t and the
arm on the valve rises, admitting
fresh water. This device insures nl-
ways u full supply of fresh water In
the tank and saves the waste water
that otherwise runs over when the

Factory at junction Has sia Yea

According to a statement by Man
ager Fred Holmes this afternoon this
year the Western ugar and Land Syn
dicate sugar factory in this city will
probably be considered the third best
in the history of the local plant. In
dications now are that the run will
last nearly another thirty days.
The third and last payment to the
growers this year will be made the
latter part of next week and will ap-
proximate $4,000. This will clean up
the payments for the year Approx
imately 100000 will have been paid
out to western slope growers with the
coming payment.
From present indications between
60 and 65 thousand tons OF beets will
be handled. this year which will COM
pare very well with the general aver.
age for the years past.
No estimates have been made as
TO the number of sacks of sugar which
will be made this year but 1t will not
be very far from $50 900 sacks one
way or the other.-Sentinel.

MILK MAY BE PASTEUR.
IZED RIGHT HERE At HOME

Atten tin, housewives. If you are
buying raw milk and feel that it
would be safer if it were pasteurized,
just do it yourselves. 1t is very
simple matter and will not take much
of your time. This is the way to
proceed.
Punch a few holes in the bottom
of pie tin and place it bcttom-side
up in a two-quart lard pail, half full
of water Take the bottle of milk
that is to be sterilized, punch a hole
through the paper cap and insert a
milk thermometer Now place the
bottle of milk in the water on the pie
tin, and set it on the stove. Heat it
until the thermometer registers 1O5F.
Be careful not to heat it ~ more.t than
155F. because it will cause undesira-
BILE changes in the milk constituents
The bottle is now removed from the
water, covered with cloth and allow
ed to stand for 80 minutes, after
which it is cooled as rapidly as posi-
water. After being cooled. the milk
should be kept at Tow temperature
until used. Milk will keep longer af-
ter it has been treated in this way but
cream will not raise as qui Ky Pas
teurizing does not kill all of the
germs in milk and it should not be
kept longer than raw milk before
using.-Geo. H. Glover. Colorado Ag-
ricultural College, Fort Calm: Colo
