Girls Hat HaIts Traffic.

Old BOreaS is no reSpecter OF per
sons, especially near the tall buildings.
Besides showing the male portion all
the latest designs in hosiery, he not
infrequently steals the dome covering
of some fair one who is negotiating Il
crossing. That is what he did recent
Iy, but at the same time there was an
exhibition of chivalry, which showed
that it was not buried when knight
hood passed away. At one of the
Broadway corners, notes New York
correspondent where traffic is eXccp-
tiOnally heavy, a gust of wind caught
in it's whimsical grip the headgear of
q young lady who was crossing the
street and caused it to roll merrtly
past car and close to the hOofs of a
passing team, before the warning hand
Of the big bluecOat guardian had been
raised all traffic was voluntarily halted
and he was given opportunity to rescue
the undamagod piece of millinery and
return it to its embarrassed but CRATE
full owner. A wave of the cops arm
and every vehicle continued its jour
ney, which had been mOmentarily
halted by the girls mishap. All of
which proves that the days of chivalry
are still with us.

FARMERS WARNED TO
WATCH FOR CHOLERA
Outbreaks Reported on Severa
Farms in Renville and Redwood
Counties

Several cases of hog cholera have
been reported in Renville and Red
wood counties and farmers thruout
the state are warned to be careful,
to watch their herds with care and
to vaccinate wherever there is the
least danger, or where there is chOl-
era nearby.
Ninety per cent of the deaths
among hogs is due to cholera, ac-
cording to statistics gathered by ex-
perts, and the present food situation
is such that there must be no short
age of pork if there is any possible
way to prevent it. The only way
to beat cholera is to prevent it and
it is practically impossible to cure
it when once started and very diff
cult to check it's spread unless farm
ers work in cooperation with each
other and with the authorities.
Every public spirited hog raiser will
report the first sign which he thinks
may indicate cholera and every wise
farmer will take every possible
means Oh preventing it's spread to his
own herd or to the herds of his
neighbOrs.

Farmers Urged to Hold Back Hogs

Farmers Urged to Hold Back Hogs
J. P. Cotton, head of the Meat Di-
vision of the Food Administration,
says:
Hold back your hogs.
ION November 3, I stated that the
prices of hogs, so far as this division
could affect them, would not fall be-
low about $3.50 per hUndredweight
for the average of the packers drOves
on the Chicago market until further
notice. That statement 1 make again.
"The packers inform me that they
are doing their best to aid us in that
policy. But largely owing to trans
portatiOn difficulties in the East,
there is now gIut of hogs on the
Chicago market, and more hogs than
the packers can kill and handle.
"The farmers and commission men
in this territory must help by hold
ing back hogs temporarily, especially
from that market. If there is cooper
alton the minimum will be main
tanned. Do not sacrifice your hogs
by dumping them on an overcrowded
market"

can farmer should largely increase
his acreage of wheat, rye, barley and
flax. Owing to the vast area of the
corn-belt being struck with frost be-
fore it fully ripened the supply OF
seed corn will be very limited and
hard to obtain and no seed should be
planted that is not certain to germ
mate.
There is going to be a great short
age of farm labor, by the first of
next July there will be two million
men in the army at home and abroad.
All or a large percentage of this vast
force will come from the rank of our
most efficient working men. Every
soldier is competent of taking his
place among the ranks of physical
labor It is going to be very diff
cult for the American farmer to Sc
cure competent help to carry on his
farm operations next year.
The cereal crops wheat, oats, rye,
barley and fax can be raised with a
minimum of physical labor. In their
cultivation machinery can take the
place of men more than in any other
crops.
The government has already fixed
a minimum price on these cereals
that will insure a good profit.
The patriotic farmer will increase
his acreage of wheat, rye, barley and
flax and use every endeavor to in
crease the meat supply of the coun-
try especially pork. In this way he
will be rendering the government a
great service and at the same time
will be putting dollars into his own
pocket.-Sauk Center Herald.

Brood Sows

1t is an undisputed, patriotic duty
of every hog raiser in this county to
keep as many brood sows this fall
as he can possibly handle.
Mr.. Hoover, United States food ad-
ministrator, emphasized the facts
that ships, wheat and hogs are the
greatest needs of this country at the
present time. He said that deepest
concern has been caused by the fact
that in spite of high prices this coun-
try's pork consumption has increased
during the war until production has
been outstripped; situation that
must be changed.
Every pound of fat is as sure of
service as every bullet and every hog
is of greater value to the winning Of
this war than a she'll"
The government has, by setting a
minimum price on hogs, guaranteed
the producer profit for raising
them. In time like this, when pa
riotism calls for the production If

Urge Bee Men to Conserve Honey
Prof. Francis jaeger, head of the
bee division, University Farm, is
making special preparation for the
short course in Bookkeeping at the
University Farm, St. Paul, during
Farmers and Home-Makers' Week,
December 81 to January 5. The
problem he will present will be:
How to get a record crop of honey.
Spring and summer management,
prevention of swarming, saving of
labor, handling and marketing the
honey crop, obstacles to success, and
like subjects will be discussed all
week with practical demonstrations
wherever needed.
Minnesota secured 100000
pounds of honey last year out of 49,
100000 pounds which nature pro-
duced. The object of the short
course will be to help the bee-keep-
ers to corner the other 100000
pounds of honey now going to waste
The motive will be strong for honey

FARMERS MUST RAISE
MORE WHEAT AND RYE
Must Have These Cereals to Win the
War-Also Helps Solve Labor
Problem

The farmers responded right nobly
to the governmental call to produce
more food stuffs and the production
in the aggregate was greater than
ever before in our history. Corn,
oats, rice, potatoes, sugar beets, and
tobacco showed an almost unbelieve-
able percent increase over the last
five year average. This showing was
immensely gratifying to those in
terested in the successful carrying
on of the war in which this nation
is engaged, but there is one dark spot
! in the situation.
The whaet, rye, barley and flax
seed production was about ten per
cent below the five year averaged.
| The only increase in real war sup
plies in the way of food was in rice
| and meats.
Unless this situation is looked into
and remedied the situation is apt
to become serious. The most essent-
ial food supply for our armies both
at home and abroad is bread. In this
country corn can largely make up
the supply and the bread consuming
population be benefited by the sub
stitute, but the nations of Europe
have not as yet accepted corn bread,
are unaccustomed to it's use and do
not realize it's value as bread mater
ial
AS yet no method has been devised
to ship corn, corn meal or corn bread
long distances subject to all sorts of
weather conditions without great
danger of loss. No doubt in time,
all these handicaps will be overcome,
and not the least financial benefit
that will accrue to the American
farmer as a result of this war is a
demonstration of the human food
value of maize or Indian corn. At
the present time the only food grains
to be depended upon for European
consumption both by military and
civilian population are wheat, rye
and barley, while linseed oil is an
absolute essential of successful mill
tary operations.
The greatest handicap of Germany
today is her lack Of meats, fats and
oils, and it has no source of supply
outside of her own borders. AS re-
suit of this deficiency every available
vacant spot is used for the cultiva-
tion of sun-fowers and poppies in
order that oils may be extracted from
them. 1t is a prime necessity that
the wheels of the German war mach
inery be creased and grease is get
ting mighty scarce. 1t is reported
that the bodies of slain both their
own and those of the enemy are
rendered for the oil contained there
| in
There is another reason besides the
food and oil demand that the Ameri-

sured, something must be radically
wrong with the farmer who will not
produce pork to his limit.
The duty as hog raiser is plain

than ever before, thus increasing
Stevens county's share of meat for
the nation.
