ganized Friday, April 10 with a mem
bership of So. Mrs. Nick Jung was
elected chairman and George Rooney
secretary. Mrs. Dennis Egan is head
of the knitting department and Miss
Johanna Jennison head of the sewing
department.
The department of Home Service of

Cured short time ago when a moth
er who has three sons in the service
applied to the Red Cross for assist
ance. The mother has five minor
children to support. The department
took the matter up and now the moth
er receives $48 per month from the
government besides the monthly sum
which comes from each of her sons.
It is only fair that anything OF this
kind should be done. The Home Ser
vice looks into any report and sees to
it that the parties are deserving. Inc
government requires that in case
like the above that the relative OF

Gordon V. Morse Re
turns to IoDn to Go In
to Business With Father

Gordon V. Morse has recently sold
his residence, portion of his business
interests and other property in Mime
apolis, for She purpose or removing to.
Sank Centre to live and actively en-
gage in business with his father, Chas.
A. Morse.
During his years of business activi-
ties in Minneapolis Mr.. Morse has
been trusted with various positions
of Importance, beginning with city re-
porter for Bradstreet's Commercial
agency, remaining with them for five
years until he was offered the superin-
tendency but resigned to become sec
rotary of the White Salmon Develop
ment Company, lumber corporation
with a paid-up capital of $1,000,000, a
position he still holds. He was direc-
tor and secretary of the Lake Harriet

years, also member of the club build
ing committee in the erection of a
$4,000 club house.

CAREFULLY LOOK OVER SEED
Corn Should Be Graded Before 1t is
SheIIed to Secure Uniformity In
Size and Shape.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Shel1ed corn is not easily graded
and all seed corn should therefore be
looked over carefully before the ears
are shelled. The grading is done to
secure uniformity of size and shape
in each lot of kernels, so that they will
be dropped evenly from the compliant
err when it is set for special lots OF
seed.
If the seed ears vary as to size OF
kernel they should be separated into
two or three grades, according to the
type of grain they bear. These grades
should be shelled arately-always
by hand and not by q mechanical she'll
Grand then tested in the corn plant
err. After finding the numbers on the
planter plates which drop the kernels
most uniformly, each lot should be
numbered with corresponding figures
All this should be done when work Is
slack in the winter and before the
spring rush begins.
Be sure there is enough for two
years. planting You may need it your
self if the first planting is drowned
out; and there never was time when
there was not demand for seed corn
known to be good.

With choice timothy hay quoted at

Alfalfa and clover are legume hays
having a still higher feeding value
than timothy, particularly in their
content of protein The best grade of
alfalfa usually sells at considerably
loss on the market than timothy hay,
making it a more economical rough

SKINNED MILK FOR CALVES
since Most Of Fat Has Been Removed
in Cream Carbohydrates Needed
to Make 1t Balanced.

Skinned milk is little richer in
protein than whole milk, but lower in
carbohydrates. Since most of the fat
has. been removed in the cream the
skinned milk will need carbohydrates
to make it a balanced ration for calves.
A good plan is to replace a portion
of the whole milk with skinned milk,
gradually increase the skinned milk
with some form of carbohydrates till
all Of the whole milk is replaced by
skinned milk. Fine ground meal is
one of the best carbohydrate supple
ments to be fed with skinned milk.
Some feeders cook the meal, stir it
in the skinned milk and feed it to the
calf. After the calf is two weeks old
it will eat fine ground meal and if fed
small quantities will assimilate it.
Linseed meal is also used.
Care should be taken in feeding
calves. They should be taught to
drink from the pail as soon as pos
sibIe. Nothing but clean vessels should
be used and the milk should be clean
and warm.

In selecting the ram, special atten:
ton should be paid to type, mutton
qualities, and denseness of fleece. Quail
ity Of mutton is the prime factor in the
farm flock, and should receive the most
attention. The fleece should not be for
gotten, for not only will the fleece be
a source of income, but a good fleece
will give a higher market value to the
sheep.
The ram should be strong, active and
show strong masculine character.

No farming people have ever been
able economically to maintain the fer
tility Of their soils without the use OF
live stock. Farming without the use
Of manures Is waste of energy ana
results in the exhaustion of soils. The
neglect in preserving and increasing
he quantity of farm manures has
been a great drain on the natural re-
sources of the American farm, espe-
cially In the southern portion of the
United States. The lackbof intelligent
care of the waste products and the
convenient form of commercial fert1l-
izers have Jointly been responsible for
the almost general neglect of farm
manureS.
l. Value Of Fertilizers.
Commercial fertilizers have played
and will continue to play a great part
in the farm economy of the country.
Their full value, however, cannot be
obtained by their exclusive use. A
much greater value can be had from
them when used wisely in connection
with manure and green crops. One OF
the principal reasons for the small
value sometimes realized from manure
Of any kind is that it has not been
properly handled and through expo
sure and neglect has lost a large per-
centage of its plant food. TT chief
difference between barnyard manure
and other vegetable matter is that the
process of passing through the animal
has rendered the fertilizing elements
of the former more available for alb
soption in plant growth. The best
authorities tell us that from IS to 80
per cent of the fertiliZing value of a
crop is left after passing through the
animal. This being true and the ele-
ments being in soluble form. we have
some idea of why it is of the utmost
importance to protect the manure sup
ply from teaching by rains or from
other sources of loss.
Loss by Leaching.
The Cornell University experiment
station found that as much as 50 per
cent of the plantfood constituents In
manure was lost by teaching and I'M
necessary fermentation. The problem
is how best and most economically to
prevent this loss. The best plan where
it Is practicable is to haul out the ma
nure regularly, spread it upon the land,
! and pillow it under. The best results
are usually obtained by turning under
shallow. The next best plan is to keep
| the stock under sheds or in stables
with sufficient litter to absorb all liQ-
uids. This treatment will not only

It pays to be quiet and careful In
the houses containing laying hens, es-
necially if they are pullets from the
range which have just commenced to
Law. Strangers that visit poultry plants
should realize that undue excitement
is bound to reduce the egg yield and
make every effort not to brighten the
birds by sudden movements. A strange
child running through poultry house
will brighten the hens and seriously
reduce the laying for that day.

erably to 1t.
When neither of these plans can be
advantageously used, a cheap shed
conveniently located may be subs1tut-
ed and all manure carried to it as re-
moved. Care must be taken to prevent
heating, which is especially liable to
happen when horse manure predOmi-
mates. This can be remedied by add
Ing water when needed.

ARRANGING RATION FOR cows
Three Things Should Be Borne in Mind
F.. Protein, Little Fat and to
Supply ~SuccuIence.

The ration for the dry cow should
be formulated with three things in
mind, namely, to furnish a sufficient
amount of protein to develop the fetus
properly and allow a surplus for the
needs of the body of the COW; to- sup
ply enough carbohydrates that the COW
NAV lay on a little fat; and to supply
succulence. Some kind of green feed
is very essential in the ration for the
COW at all times. 1t serves the pur-
pose of maintaining the bowels in a
loose condition, which is necessary to
good digestion and assimilation Of

PLANS FOR REGISTRATION OF
 NEW DRAFT MEN

Washington, Aug. 21-In anticipa- tion of the prompt passage by Con- gress of the man power bill extending the draft ages to include all men be- tween IS and 46 years, estimated at nearly 13,OO0,000, the office of the provost marshal general has started preparation for their registration, probably early next month. Distribu- ton of the printed forms needed has been started, said statement made public today.
 The preparation and distribution of the various required forms and other needed equipment is characterized by the statement as the largest single task of the kind ever undertaken by the government.
 It is estimated that between 160, 900 and 0,000 registrars will be requir- ed to register the new men.
