A Neglected S1elli'illIsh...:

The common sea mussel exists In al.
most inexhaustibfe numbers along
much Of the Atlantic seaboard. An ar
ticle in recent issue Of the American
Museum journal calls attention to the
fact that the sea mussel is q source of
much nutritious food, for its flesh is
the most valuable in nutritive ele-
ments Of any Of the shellfish, and in
palatability and digestibility is second
to none. The mussel occurs in masses,
literally hundreds to the square yard,
adherfng to rocks, to sand and to one
another. The ability Of the sea mus
sci to exist in such crowded masses de-
ponds upon its power Of movement, its
means of anchoring itself firmly, and
the wonderful efficiency with which it
can collect food, Of which it finds an
unlimited supply in the form Of minute
particles Of decaying vegetable matter
and in the group Of microscopic organ.
lsms known as diatoms. Although the
mussel has host Of enemies, it has
also unlimited powers of reproduction,
for each female lays from 10000, 600
to 100000 eggs a year. Probably
the competition for food between the
members of the community, itself re-
suits in a greater mortality than all
its enemies cause, for enormous mum.
bers Of mussels are smothered every
day by their offspring, which, in the
struggle for existence, bury their par.
ents beneath them. The United States
bureau Of fisheries has issued bull
letin that describes the food value Of
sea mussels, and tells how to cook
them.-Youth's Companion.

CABBAGE REQUIRES RICH SOIL.
Early Varieties Most Acceptable AZ
They Come When Such Food 10
Needed-Grow Quickly.

Cabbage is easily grown If the soil
is rich enough, and the very early va
rieties are most acceptable, as they
come at time when such food is most
needed. The style of head varies so
much that every taste should be grati-
fled. Round head or pointed head.
fiat head or drum head, stone head
and sure head, all have their vir-
tues.
Grow them quickly and feed the
soil, and almost any of the standard
varieties will give satisfaction. One
year one kind will seem to excel and
another year this same variety will be
disappointment. Much depends on
the soil and the season.
Cauliflower is almost as easily grown
as cabbage, but more apt to be in
tested with worms, and for this rea-
son is not favorite with the ordi-
nary gardener.

Hard to Get Home.

The adventures of q Russian in at
tempting to reach his country to re-
port for military service were related
before London court. The man had
previously served in the Russian army,
and on being discharged had gone to
Egypt where he carried on business as
q tobacconist at Alexandria. In No
yember, 1916. the Russian consul ut
Alexandria circulated notice calling
upon all Russian subjects to report
themselves. He Immediately gave up
his business and proceeded to his ma
tive country. The ship on which he
sailed was torpedoed off the island Of
Crete. Later he reached Malta. and
from there he proceeded to England,
where he enlisted.

What farmers need most these days
is an outlet for surplus crops. The

Raise sheep! This was the advice
Of F. r. Marshall of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, United States depart
ment Of agriculture in an address be-
fore the members Of the Kansas Sheep
Breeders association at the agricul-
tural college In connection with farm
and home work.
1T is now time for the livestock
farmer to make sheep raising one Of
his regular lines of production" said
Mr.. Marshall. "Putting aside the ef-
fects Of war conditions, prospective
values of lambs and wool render sheep
raising fully as safe and attractive, to
the man who will study and UNDER
stand the business, as is the raising Of
cattle, horses or swine.
"Prior to 1914 such a statement az
this would not have been justifiable.

With the kind OF sheep that are now
being placed upon American farms and
which will be found in the near future
on nearly all farms.
"An important feature in starting
the sheep business is to quickly work
into q flock Of about 100 ewes, or as
is recommended by the University Of
Illinois, q eve for each two acres Of
the farm. The small flock which has
heretofore been recommended for
using weeds and waste feed, and incl
dentally as small source Of profit, Is
the flock that becomes diseased and, be-
cause Of its insignificance in the farm
business, is certain to be neglected"
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1917-06-21

Assured meat values of the future. the
need of greater economy in the use of
farm labor, and the full utilization of
pastures place sheep faising in an en-.
tirely new light.
"Some agricultural journals and
other authorities have been inclined to
question the safety Of engaging in
sheep raising and base their ideas upon
statistical facts Of decline in popular
ity Of sheep in eastern states. Such
statistical deductions are entirely mis-.

gether With corn-Hogs Do Well
on Such q Ration.
(By E. PENcE.)


Like corn, the soy bean is hot
weather plant and does best where the
season and soil are favorable to corn
growing. The soil should be prepared
the same as for corn, blowing deep
and working down to a fine, firm seed
bed. It is common practice to drill
soybeans and corn together, hogging-
off In the fall. This Is fine cOmbina-
ton and hogs do well on such ration.
Three or four beans to the foot in a
row is proper distance to SOW when
drilling with corn. When drilled alone
1t would be better to SOW little more
thickly.
AS a forage crop the soy beans are
about equal to alfalfa in protein value
and as palatable and digestible. They

S.-San Salvador, the capital of San
Salvador, with a population of more
than 60,00O has been totally destroy
ed, according to dispatch from San
Miguel, Salvador. No details as to
the manner in which the city was de.
stroyed has been received, but it un-
doubtedly was the result of an earth
quake or volcanic eruption.
A dispatch from Tegucigal, Hon
duras, says that besides San Salvador,
six other towns were destroyed One
was a suburb of San Salvador.
American Legation Homeless.
There was later one severe shock
but the tremors continued with in
creasing violence. At the same time
there was a steady shower of dry
ashes falling.
Reports say damage to the Ameri-
can legation building will render it
uninhabitable, but that all state pa
pers we're rescued. Practically all
city property is untenable. One i'm.
portant business section has been de-
stroyed by fire.
No deaths were reported in the dis
patch as being known at that time.
1t is quite possible volcanic erup-
tions, fire, or earthquakes might have
wrought greater damage after the dis
patch was sent.

Of 4s,167 registrations. OF these
42,557 are native Americans IS, 1903

whites, 22,279 claim exemptions

The eleven counties yet to be

SENS safe to predict they will
average about 1000 registrations

ed today, took rank next to cass,

Adjutant General TharaIson
calls attention to the fact that
North Dakota in the last few
months has contributed at least
5000 enlisted men to the vari-
Gus branches of military and
naval service, which fact will cut
down the registration totals to
that extent. 1t seems safe, how
ever, to predict that the total W i'll
