Mimi. Leads With
Plague-Free Herds
State is i'm Forefront for the Number
of tuberculosis Free
Purebre1s.

Minnesota leads the nation in its
work to eliminate tuberculosis from
cattle. According to report publish
ed in the Weekly News Letter issued
by the United States department of
agriculture the number of tuberculosis
free purebred herds is IS. These herds
contain 1887 cattle. The state having
the next largest number of herds is
North Dakota, with 50, containing 1854
cattle, though Virginia with 81 accred-
tied herds shows larger number of
cattle-2.962.
= In addition, Minnesota has total of
1856 herds and 5,O31 cattle, once tested
without reactors. The next best state
in this class again is North Dakota,
judging by herds. and Virginia. judging
by the number Of cattle.
The announcement giving the fore
going figures calls attention to the fact
that the plan now is to admit to certi-
fication grade herds as we'll as pure

POstmasters Are
Insurance Agents
Named to Look After Discharged
Soldiers and Sailors
Insurance.

Conditions under which soldiers and
sailors now holding government life
insurance may convert these policies
within five years into other forms
which can be carried with the govern
ment during their lifetime, were re-
Gently announced by Col. Henry D.
Lindsey of the war risk insurance bur-
eau Rates will be made public soon,
as the new policies will not be avail
able until then.
There will be six different kinds of
insurance ordinary life, 20 payment
life, 80 payment life, 20 year endow-
ment payable at the age Of 81. All
policies will contain clauses providing
that, in case of permanent total dis
ability of the insured man, the govern
ment will make monthly payments to
him and premium payments will cease.
This amounts virtually to old age pen
sioning and disability insurance and in
sures that no man who has served in
the army or navy need ever be destl-
tute if he carries the government insur-
ance.
! All policyholders will participate in
dividends and earnings Of over 3% per
cent from the insurance fund will go
into dividends. Since the reserves will
be invested in government securities,
most of which will pay in the neighbor-
hood of Az per cent it is certain there
will be large dividends to be returned
neriodica11y to pOlicyhOlderS.
| Collections of premiums will be made
through postmasters.
Although the rates have not been an
nounced, Colonel Lindsey stated they
would be so low that officials Of private
insurance companies who assisted in
drafting the rate schedule had admitted
their companies could not compete.
Any man in military or naval service
holding government term life insurance
can obtain the new forms, but the
amount will be limited to his present
holdings. The government urges al
men to continue to carry their present
policies, but to convert these as soon as
they are able within the next five years
The government itself, and not pr
vate companies, will carry these con
verted policies, it was emphasized re
Gently, in denial Of reports that tn
insurance business built up on tn
lives of fighting men during the wa
2. would now be turned over by the gov
eminent to private concerns. Thus vii
be created permanent government lif
insurance agency, the biggest in tn

Minnesota Livestock
Increases Reported
Horses and Mules Stationary, But
Cows, Sheep and Hogs ~.
Advance,

Fergus Falls-Once each year the
bureau Of crop estimates issues its an
nual livestock report showing numbers
of animals on farms January and the
average price for same. Through the
Minnesota field agent these figures are
now made public for both Minnesota
and the United States. @~.
p. Horses and mules remain the same as
last year, while mich cows show an
increase Of 1 per cent, all other cattle
per cent, sheep Ii per cent and swine
s per cent.
In reviewing the livestock situation
in this state, Paul H. Kirk, Minnesota
field agent, says that Minnesota is be-
ginning to feel the influence Of Iowa
on the south, which is one Of the great
est livestock states, especially for swine,
while on the east the large dairy state
of Wisconsin has also it's influence. 1t
would appear that Minnesota is In "a
Their a transitory state and is gradually
shifting from purely grain growing
state to that of diversified farming and
increasing it's production Of livestock.
The number of horses and mules on
January /, 1919, is estimated at 956'OOO'
with total value of 500, 100000. This
is the same number as reported one
year ago.
/ The mich COWS show an increase OF
40, 900 over 1918, the total number be-
ing 1868, 900, whose total value is $lO6,-
704, 900. All other cattle show an in
crease of $4,000, the number estimated
at 1852 900, with total farm value OF
$54,672,000.
Sheep show quite an increase, 74,00o
The total number being $4,000, whose
farm value is $S,474, 900.
Swine show an increase OF 3S4,oU
over a year ago, the number on farms
January 1 being 2,7S4,000, with a value
Of $79,344,0 900.
The total value of all livestock OF
Minnesota farms January l, 1919, beng

At The Front In
Cereal Breeding
Minnesota Has One of the LARGEST
Grain-Breeding Nurseries
i'm World.

The Minnesota experiment station
maintains one Of the largest cereal
breeding nurseries in the world, said
Prof. Andrew Boss recently in out
lining the work being done to develop
cereals specially adapted to Minnesota
conditions.
This work began in 1891, and stocks
Of spring and winter grains have been
obtained from all quarters of the globe
for trial in the nursery. These are be-
ing carefully tested for hardness,
adaptability, and desirability. Any
that prove valuable are retained for
further trial. =
Two methods of improvement are
followed. One of these seeks to make
improvements in the varieties Of farm
crops by selecting the best individual
plants and bringing them to a pure line
in order that they may reproduce true
to type and uniformityof quality. The
other seeks to- combine desirable quail
ties or characters by hybridizatlon. By
recognizing the plant characters and
making judiciousS combinations, it has
been found possible to increase the yield
Of certain strains or to change in some
form other characters found in one or
the other Of the parents. Hybrid plants
vary more largely than those that are
self ferti1ized and offer much larger
field for selection and the possibility OF
finding desirable plants. ...-
The plant-breeding specialists at Uni
versity Farm are now at work develop
| ing a hardy winter wheat that Will
withstand Minnesota winters better
than any such wheat now grown and
also give large yields. The specialists
are seeking also to find stiff-straWet
strains of the spring grains that will
not lodge on rich land. Again, they are
studying the problem Of increasing the
yield, of increasing the hardness, and
Of discovering strains of plants that are
resistant to disease. The working ou
of these problems is most promising.
None of the hybrid strains is We
ready for distribution, but some have
been discovered that promise to bt
valuable economic sorts.
The station has, however, seyera
pure line selections that have proved
to be good yielding strains. These ar
listed with the Minnesota Crop I'm
proyement association for sale to tn
! farmers of the state.

"ONE-PIECE" COOKERY. Food, Time, Fuel and Labor May be Conserved by This Method.

"One-piece" dishes, which were brought into favor by wartime con- ditions and economies, remain popular with thoughtful and progressive house. wives, as a balanced meal may be quickly and easily prepared in this manner. Rice, for example, lends it. self admirably to combination.
 Of several ways of cooking rice, the best, perhaps, is to add to given quantity of rice about twice as much water, and cook over a very low fire in a covered kettle. Carefully cooked in this way the grains will stand apart" as well as by boiling the rice in a lot of water, rinsing with cold water, then drying in the oven.
 Using plain boiled rice for a basis, many balancing articles of food cheese, meat, eggs, nuts, fats, etc. combine with it harmoniously. A cooking expert so uses up the coarser leaves of lettuce, romaine, endive, etc., that may have been left over from salad To these she adds a sliced onion, about two tablespoons of bacon fat, butter or butter substitute, and three-quarters of a cup of cold water for every half cup of well-washed rice for this particular recipe, has not been previously cooked. When the water boils in the covered kettle, she turns the fire low and allows the whole to cook for twenty minutes.
 Other combinations will produce re- suits equally tasty" The point is to conserve food, time, fuel, labor, thus increasing the working capital of the housewife. Every penny saved in- creases her ability to purchase Thrift and War Savings Stamps regularly, and thus make provision for the future

Remove the silvering from the glass around the scratch so that the clear space will be about a quarter of an inch wide. Thoroughly clean the clear space with a clean cloth and alcohol. Near the edge of a broken piece of looking glass mark out piece of sil- vering little larger than the clear space on the mirror to be repaired. Now place a very minute drop of mer- cury on the center of the patch and allow it to remain for few minutes, clear away the silvering around the patch, and slide the latter from the glass. Place 1t over the clear spot on the mirror, and gently press 1t down with tuft of cotton. This is difficult operation and some practice is neccs- sary before trying it on large mirror.

WHAT IS A BILLION, ANY
 WAY? How the American and British Billions Vary.

By James H. Collins.
 One billion dollars," dictated the boss to Tillie.
 Do you want that in figures?" she asked.
 "Yes"
 But Tillie hit the cipher key too many times and wrote:
 $1,OO0,0OO, 100000
 It looked large, even for a war fig ure!
 And it was both wrong and right as you will see little later
 What is billion, anyway?
 Last year, the people of this country did something which gives a very good illustration of $1,OOO,OOO, ,0OO The Treasury Department received a billion dollars from War Savings Stamps bought by the people. Just who bought them does not matter Every man, woman and child in the United States buying a 25-cent Thrift Stamp weekly for forty weeks would have done it-not much of a drain upon anybody's income, even that of an office boy
 Now, it would be impossible for the people in Great Britain to duplicate the performance, even if they had a population as large as our own. There is not enough wealth in the United Kingdom to make a billion dollars by English standards. The term billions never crept into John Bulls war fig ures.
 We use the French billion, which is 100000 ,000, whereas the British use standard of their own, and their bill lion is 1000, ,OOO,OOO,OOO.
 So that is why Tillie was both wrong and right.
 A billion of anything is whole lot, whether one measures it by the Brit ish or American standard. But as war taught us to think in terms of this big unit, so it has taught us to pro- duce in terms of billions, and one of the most interesting measures of our production and thinking is the com parative ease with which we as a nation may save up a billion dollars by the purchase of a little green slip of paper, the Thrift Stamp, once a week for something less than ten months.
