Brainerd Journal-Press (23): J. M.
Taylor of the executive committee Of
the State Trades and Labor assembly,
who has returned from the annual
meeting Of the organization in ST..
Paul, caused somewhat of stir at
the meeting in his report in which he
said that school teachers are being
vicitmizcd by employing agents, who
procure jobs for the young girls and
compel them to pay back to the agents
4 certain percentage of their wages
for year. Mr.. Taylor says that the
heads Of school departments, state and
local, are cognizant of this graft on
the teachers, and that yet it is toler-
ated. Mr.. Taylor appealed for some
way to remedy this evil.
Mr.. Taylor recommended further
that the council take some steps to
have private employment agencies for
teachers, abolished, he having been
informed by teachers that it is use
less for them to apply for schools
through the state employment agencies,
as the superintendent do not patron
ize these agencies very strongly. He
said further, that teachers had in
formed him that they have to pay a
fee of SO when making application to
the private agencies for a school, and
5 per cent of the first years earnings,
if the agency gets them one. This he
characterized as a rank injustice to
the teachers which should be stopped.

HARTING, COVER ARTIST

The WOman's Home Companion, IN
speaking Of the cover for its magazine
for January and February has the fol-
lowing to say about G. W. Harting,
formerly of this city, and Sinclair
Lewis, writer who is a native of Min
nesota:
Sinclair Lewis, the author of "The
Innocents," comes from Minnesota, the
same as G.. w. Harting, who made last
months cover. Both from up Sank
Centre way. If you were porn there
the name doesn't seem funny to you.
People brought up in Skaneateles
don't smile when they mention the
name Of the town, and many Of them
can spell it.
In the brave days Of the past-that
is, ten years ago-Sinelair Lewis was
a contributor to the old Postscript
in fact, we shouldn't be surprised if
it printed the first things he ever
wrote. He should be proud of this,
though the contributions we're poetical.

Two Headed Symbols.

Both Russia and Germany display
two headed eagles on their standards
Yet this symbol Is considered by some
heralds to be merely the result Of the
heraldic practice Of "dimidiation.
This was simply child's way Of i'm
paling two coats Of arms on the same
shield by the primitive method Of cut
ting each in half and taking the dex
ter half Of one and the sinister half OF
the other and placing them back to
back. as it were. Strange two headed
beasts naturally resulted-as. for in.

FIN is supposed to have been evolved
from two lions rampant by dimidia.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES
february l to 81

Tt is time to plan the garden and or
der seeds.
Cut out all dead trees about the place
and make fre-wood Of them.
Send for a. number of seed and fruit
catalogs and put in a few evenings
studying them. It will be worth while.
JEWELS Winter and Salom8 are two
varieties Of apples worthy Of trial.
These DO we'll in some locations.
One quarter acre Of berries win not
cost much to plant and it will give an
abundance of fruit the season through.
Try few administering straw
berries. Progressive is good stand
ard variety. Planted this spring and
we'll cared for they will fruit in the
autumn.
King and Minnetonka Ironclad are
two good red raspberries. Columbian
purple and Cumberland black are also
good in their class.
Glass on the eoldframe, hotbea, or
greenhouse may be cleaned by spray
ing with diluted oxaic acid.
Has that summer wood pile grown to
sizeable proportions this winterf 1t
not, now is a good time to get busy on
it, Firewood cutting is easier now than
in hot weather.
Has the school house been painted
lately7 This spring will be good
time to see to it. Don't use a bright
colored paint. Gray or white is good.
Do not put too much dependence in
the novelties onered by seedsmen.
Many of them are excellent. Some are
no better than the common grade. Bet
ter stick to an established strain of
seed until the new one has shown it's
superiority.-I4eRoy Caoy, associate

IS RUSTY STRAW GOOD STOCK
FEED?


Is rusty straw safe or desirable stock
foodf The general teaching for many
years has been that blights, rusts,
smuts, etc., are all harmful and likely
to produce abortions and other trou-
bles. Actual experience and some re-
search work, however, show that this
statement is Iar> too general.
There can be no question concern
ing the undesirabi]ity of mouldy hay,
straw, grain, or ensilage, on account
of the we'll known forage poisoning OF
horses and cattle, but quantities o. corn
smut have been fed in experimental
work, without evident harm, though
this does not prove that under other
circumstances smut may not be injuri-
Gus. Stock seems sometimes actually
to prefer straw IN the black rust stage
and eat it readily, yet the same stock
may appear to dislike straw in the red
rust stage, possibly because more
dusty.
We think that the farmer would be
quite justified in the cautious feeding
Of rusty straw. On general principles
and in view Of some uncertainty, it
would be better not to use rusty straw
for a female heavy with young, though
even in such a case it might do no
harm. There is little positive infor-
nation available. The writer would
greatly appreciate reports of actual ex-
perience-M. II. Reynolds, chairman,
division of veterinary science, Univer-
sity Farm, St. Paul.

BENEFIT CONCERT IS ENJOYED
SPLENDID PROGRAM OF INSTRU-
MENTAL AND VOCAL MUM
BERS GIVEN FOR EI.KS

A concert that proved unusually
good was given at the Victor theatre
Friday evening by Bastien's big Or
chestra, for the benefit of the Elks
home building fund. The attendance,
however, was not as good as could
have been expected, only about one
half as many people as there are mem
bers in the lodge attending. The con-
cert netted the lodge about $50. Mr..
Bastien, director Of the orchestra, and
all the others who took part in the
program, donated their services entire
ly free.
The program opened with The I'm
perial Guard March, followed by Grand
Selection from Faust, which were
splendidly rendered. The Raymond
overture was also very good. The au-
dience was very appreciative and en-
cores were repeatedly called for.
Mr.. Bastien's violin solo, "Medita-
ton from Thais,'' was ably rendered
and he was called upon for On encore.
A trio composed of Mr.. Bastien, violin;
Constantine Droskowski, cello and Je-
rome Malerich, piano, played the famil-
lar and very much liked "Barcarolle
From Tales of Hoffman, and repeated
part Of it for the encore.
Ernest Carlson contributed two vo-
cal numbers, "The Mighty Deep" and
"When The Gray of the Sky,' which
proved very pleasing, the latter taking
especially well with the audience.
Jerome Malerich and Carlyle Henncn
rendered a piano duet, Hungarian
Rhapsody March, in most splendid
manner and they too were called upon
for "more.''
All in all the concert was pronounced
one of the best that has ever been put
on By local talent.

ORCHARD MAY BE PRUNED IN
WINTER

Fruit growers do not need to wait
until spring to prune their orchards,
says W. G. Briefly of the division of
horticulture at University farm. Re-
suits at University farm show little or
no difference in the growth and matur-
ity Of the wood where pruning has been
done any time between November and
May.
If the usual care is taken to make
the cuts close to the main trunk or
branches no stubs will be left to die
and decay, though the covering OF
wounds with white lead and oil paint
or with common grating wax warmed
to the consistency of colo molasses will
give added protection.
Moderate pruning is better than
heavy cutting.

MERCHANTS WILL HEAR GOOD
MEN

William H. Ingersoll, advertising
manager Of the Robert Ingersoll and
Brother company, manufacturers OF
"the watch that made the dollar ia
mous' will give two lectures at the
merchants short course of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, February to g..
Mr.. Ingersoll is a well-known mem
Der Of the Associated Advertising
clubs of the world, having been presi-
dent of the National advertising Sec
ton for two or three years. Mr.. In
gersoll has message which should be
Invaluable to any merchant who wishes

E. B. Moon, for several years man
ager of general store in Lakevllle,
Indiana, but now director >of the de-
partment Of community development
and trade betterment of the Farmers
Review, Chicago, will also speak.
Mr.. Moon is one Of the men who has
demonstrated without doubt that the
local store can serve a community much
better and more economically than can
department store loca ed in large
city. Mr.. Moon mas proved that the
cost Of doing business in a local store
under proper management is less than
the cost of selling on the part OF the
mail order house; therefore, it can sell
as economically. He also believes that
live general store by its influence IN
building up a community is a distinct
asset not only to the village but to
the surrounding agricultural commun-
ity. Mr.. Moon has in charge a store
located ten miles from q large city
where there are several large depart
ment stores. He demonstrated that by
careful buying and efficient .marage-
ment he could not only sell cheaper
than the big department stores, be.
cause his expenses were lower, but
that he could also serve his patrons
better. His efforts resulted in increas'
ing the business Of small country
store from $4,000 to $70,OUv a year:
He will explain to the merchants OF
the short course sorne Of the methods
which made his organization SO sue
ccssful. He will also give talk on
community development.
F. w. Fiske, manager OF the business
systems and service bureau Of the AS
sociated Advertising clubs of the

SCOURS IN CAT.vrS CAUSE BIG
LOSSES

Thousands CT CAVES are lost eacn
year by what is known as scours, says
H. H. Kildce, University Farm, st:
Paul. On every farm measures should
be taken to guard against this disease,
which results from deranged diges'
tive system.
Calves should have warm, clean, light
and we'll ventilated pens. Milk should
be fed in regular amounts, at regular
times, at temperature of about 80 de-
grees F. from scrupulously clean pals.
The foam which accumulates on the
milk while it is being separated should
never be fed. The time to feed the
grain ration is Immediately after the
milk is fed, 70 that the calves will not
suck each others ears and thus take
air into the stomach, which causes
bloat and produces scours. It is well
to have stanchions in one side of the
pen so that the calves may be confined
for a short time after being fed milk.
Each day during the winter, when
the weather is favorable, the calves
need to be turned out into sheltorec
ward for exercise which is necessary
for their proper growth and health 1t
is also very important that the calves
from a very early age, be given all
the pure, fresh water they care to
drink each day The pens should be
disinfected frequently. Quick lime is
excellent to sprinkle Oh the floor each
time it is cleaned and frequent spray
ing with some standard coal tar dip
solution will prove beneficial.
