Pine County
Farm News
Edited by w. j. Corwin, Manager
Pine County Farm
Bureau.

On Oct. 28-29-3O government
poultry specialists will be with
the county agent to help Gull
farm flocks and show how to
tell the Stacker hens from the
producers. Now that feed is
scarce and high priced this is
very important work.
Anyone desiring to have their
flock so sorted that they may be
sure to sell the non-producers
should notify the Farm Bureau
at Hinckley, right away, so we
can arrange our schedule to
reach the greatest number dur
ing these three days. Let us
know by Oct. % if possible.
Report on Weeks Work.

Pine County this week with the
county agricultural agent. w. j.

loss of life and property in your
neighboring county makes this
very sad occasion, / must say

Pine County that are encourag-

The work this week with Mr..

of general farm problems, but
my first interest is dairying. /

Of Pine County for the past Ia
years and | am glad to be able
to say that | have never found
it in more encouraging condi-
tion than at the present. Feed
in some places is scarce. but the
farmer as whole expresses
more faith in dairying than ever
before. Every cooperative cream
cry visited is receiving more
cream than ever before, is pay
ing much higher prices for but
terfat and has a much larger
number of patrons. am especi-
ally. pleased with the cooperative
creamery at Hinckley. / am in

Pine COUNTY GOES
over TOP IN LOAN
Individual Subscribers Nearly
1900 Fire Sufferers Sub
scriptions Cancelled.

Again dear old Pine has shown
it's patriotism--this time with
dollars and oversuhscribed in
the Fourth Liberty Loan. the
allotment for the county being
$360.000. 1t was oversubscribed
by few thousand. not counting
what railroad employees, resid-
ing in the county. had taken
thru their companies. With this
added the oversubscription will
be at least $4,000.
The subscriptions Of all Are
sufferers. amounting to between
S., 600 and $1,000 were cancelled
by Chairman Geo. w. Empey.
Offsetting this Mr.. Empey hur-
riedly called on others to sub
scribe more, among them being
Henry L. Simons Of Glencoe.
who had already taken 5000
for the credit Of Pine County.
He took $4,000 additional. Fred
A. Hodge Of Pine City. in addi-.
tion to what he had already TAX
en-, subscribed for $3,OOO morc
to the credit Of the north end Of
Pine County. In all Mr.. Empey
secured $14,4O0 Of outside money
from parties elsewhere who are
interested in Pine County.
The number Of individual sub
scribers in the County totalled
nearly 1000.
II is needless to say that Chair
man Empey has worked over
time the past few weeks. super
intending this big task. He hss
also had good assistance from the
several War Board districts Of
the County.

win Pay Fire Losses.

The board Of directors of the
Pine County Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company met ii Askov
Saturday and decided to pay alrl
reasonable fire losses which were
caused BY the big forest hre.
This undoubtedly means that I'LL
building losses will be paid, but
hay stacks out In the feld, un-I
protected, will most likely not
be reimbursed
The Board will meet again
Monday, Oct. q. At the town
hall in Askov TO make settle
ments.,
The Pine County Mutual es-I
capped fortunately considering
the big disaster, suffering only
between 20 and Is losses. The
average amount assessed against
each member Of the Company an
account Of this fire will b ar-
proximately SIS.
The mutual company in the.
town Of Windemere sustained s
much greater loss, which hi
many cases will Be burden u
its members.

the size of the business or keeps

the size of the business or keeps
better set of books than the
Farmers Cooperative Creamery
at Hinckley. 1t is increasing its
business, saving up a fair sur
plus to pay it's building cost and
paying it's patrons good price.
For the youngest cooperative
creamery in the county it is do
ing very well, and am sure
that all of the cooperative cream
cries patrons Of the county will
be pleased with the success of
this creamery.
While our cooperative cream
cries are going ahead | am sorry
to have to say that the dairy
cows of Pine County have not
improved as much as they might
have been. ] saw too many herds
of commons cows. too many
herds of mixed breeding. But
| also saw one Of the best grade
dairy herds that have seen any
where in the Northern part of
Minnesota. The owner has been
using pure bred sires for a num-
ber of years and his herd would
now pass for a pure bred herd.
Pine County is a dairy county.
Here and there is a farmer who
may keep beef cattle to advant-
age. but the rank and file must
make money from milk. So it is
logical that dairy bred cattle
should be kept. Get pure bred
dairy sire this. fall, or il you are
beef man, get pure bred beef
sire. Common cattle are alright
to begin with, but they are not
equal to the present price Of
beef and labor.
Mr.. Corwin will tell you about
the general farm problems. /
want to add another word in re-
gard to potato growing, | also
found much progress being made
in this industry. Dairying and
potato growing go hand in hand
in Pine County. You can make
your county noted in these two
lines and you could make money
if you sold only cream and pota-
toes. At any event these should
he your two chief lines.
Yours for greater success,

INFLUENZA

In most cases person taken
sick with influenza feels sick
rather suddenly. He feels weak,
has pains in the eyes, ears, head
or back. and may be sore all over.
Many patients feel dizzy. some
vomit. Most Of the patients
complain Of feeling chilly. and
with this comes a fever in which
the temperature rises to 100 to
104. In most cases the pulse re-
mains relatively slow.
As in most other catching dis
eases, person who has only a
mild attack of the disease him
self, may give a very severe at
tack to others.
1t is very important that eve
ry person who becomes sick with
influenza should go home at once
and 20 to bed.
Aspirin will reduce the few
er. The patient should be away
from others in the family. The
person caring for him should
wear several layers Of thin cloth
over the nose and mouth so as
not to breathe the germs. All
dishes used by the patient
should be boiled and his clothes
soaked in water containing car
bolic acid. All discharges from
the nose and mouth should be
carefully burned. The patient
should be careful to cover the
nose and mouth when he coughs
and sneezes; he should remain
in bed for from two to four days
after the fever subsidies.
