Nothing is gained by turning dairy
cows into stalk fields or on to pasture
during the early spring months. Pro-
lection from storms and good feeding
are of the utmost Importance if the
cows are to be kept from losing flesh
or from falling off in milk. Much
damage will be done also to pastures
if they are tramped and cut up while
they are wet and before the grasses
have gotten well started.
A small patch of sorghum should be

mer, due to drought. Plan to plant
large enough acreage of corn or sor-
ghum to fill silo. If planted early
the silo can be filed early, in readiness
for use during the early fall, when the
pasture may be short.
Now that the warm days are here
every farm should arrange so that
milk can be cooled as soon as drawn
from the COW, unless the cream is to
be separated with separator. Cream,
as soon as separated or skinned,
should be cooled and kept cool until
churned. Quick cooling of the milk
insures more rapid and more com
plete rising of the cream. Cream kept
properly cooled remains sweet and
produces better grade of butter.

Nome Has Rousing
Patriotic Meeting

The people of Nome, Fingal, Kath-
ryn and other points certainly went
over the top Friday night at mon
ster patriotic meeting held at Nome.
There was such big crowd that the
building in which the meeting was
held in could not accommodate the
people and all the windows were OPP
ened and people stuck their heads
through the windows. The Enderlin
band put pep into the meeting by be-
ing present and playing patriotic airs.
No meeting ever held in this county
or anywhere else, poured forth more
genuine patriotism than that at Nome
last night. All the country around
was in it and if the kaiser had his
car TO the ground he heard most dis
tinctly that Barnes county would not
let up until honorable peace was Sc
cured. County Chairman4A. P. Han
son was present and gave a fine talk,
and Corporal Rose, of the Canadian
army, a veteran in the war and
wounded in action, gave vivid exper-
fences of the war on the western
front, pleading for America to get in
with both feet and urging the people
of this country to get behind the boys
at the front. We cannot say too much
about this meeting because. it was
really one of the finest that has been
held in southern Barnes county. It
shows that the people down there are
alive to the needs of the country and
are going to give it all the support
they possibly can.

N. P. FIREMAN DE-
CIDES TO HELP GOVERNMENT

Roy lverson, who has been the val
ued fireman on our local Northern Pa
ciic "pusher" located in this city,
has made up his mind that the gov
eminent needed his services, so this
morning he decided to declare war on
Germany and telegraphed to head
quarters at St. Paul that he would en-
list in the 31st Engineering Corps.
He expects to leave for St. Paul to-
morrow morning. Mr.. Iverson has
had this matter in his mind for some
time and this morning arrived at
decision in about 10 seconds time, and
once coming to stand the telegram
offering his services went out at the
same time. The line of work Mr.. Iver-
son is in would undoubtedly exempt
him from draft and it is the fact that
the dire need of the government for
competent men in this branch of the
service that caused him to make his
offer. It shows that our young men
in all branches are realizing the
needs of our government and are
making sacrifices in order to help.
We honor Mr.. Iverson for his de-
cision in this matter.

the undertaking. They cannot parade

all that has been done, the carping

Carpenter Falls From
Roof; Badly Injured

A carpenter by the name of K. M.
Johnson, working on the roof Of Will
Barnes residence on upper Fifth ave-
nue., slipped and fell to the cement
sidewalk, landing on his side and
crushing the hip bone. Just how he
fell we do not know but imagine he
lost his footing in some way and was
unable to save himself from the fall.
He was placed under the care of Doc
tors Macdonald and Zimmerman who
attended to the needs of the case and
Mr.. Johnson is doing as we'll as could
be expected under the circumstances.
It will be quite a time before he will
be able to work again as the break is
a bad one and it takes time to heal
such breaks up. It is rather hard on
him, especially at this time when the
working season for carpenters is just
opening up.
