NEW COURSES TO MEET
SPECIAL DAIRY NEEDS

Changes in the forms in which the
products Of the dairy are now marketed.
have created q need for special training
among those who handle such products.
Butter and cheese production is declin-
ing in the east; the deficit must be
made up in the west. It was not very
long ago that only 81 per cent OF the
milk produced in the United States
was used as fluid milk or cream; now
81 per cent is so used. The develop
ment Of the ice cream industry has been
nothing short Of wonderful. Prof. r.
n. Washburn, Of University Farm, says
the dairy industry of the future will be
built more and more on a thorough
economical and scientific utilization Of
its by-products. Five short courses
have been organized by the dairy school
at the Minnesota University to meet
present-day conditions and needs. IN
their chronological order these are /:
Advanced course in creamery butter
making beginning Nov. IL and lasting
ten. days; course in cheese making be-
ginning Nov. IL and lasting four weeks;
course in ice cream making beginning
Dec. j; course for operators Of milk
plants, beginning Dec. s and continuing
one week, and a course for beginners in
creamery buttermaking Jan. 5 and last
ing six weeks. '

ACCIDENTS NEAR GRY(sLA

The family Of Matt Myrold living
near Malcolm, has been unfortunate
with accidents the past week. AS we
learn, Mr.. Myrold took small % rifle
and went out for hunt. He was call
ed to the house, as a daughter, while
riding a horse, fell off and either broke
or badly sprained her ankle. In. his
hurry he put the gun down, and hitched
up q team and started with the girl for
Thief River Falls to see a physician
He had been gone but few minutes
when q boy six years old picked up the
gun to play hunting, aimed at brother
four years old, pulled the trigger and
the gun went of, hitting the boy in the
shoulder near the neck and took q
downward course lodging in one lung.
A doctor was summoned at once and
found the boy in a serious condition.
He was taken to Thief River Falls and
at last accounts was alive with good
prospects Of recovery. No blame can
be attached to the father as in the ex-
citement Of the daughter getting hurt
he forgot the load in the gun Grygla

A FuII.Grown White Grub.

|Merous on putting green's of golf links
their little earthen pellets are source
lot annoyance. In such cases it is rec.
commended by the department ento-
|mologists that the soil be drenched
with kerosene emulsion. This treat
|ment gives good results against the
common white grub. which is also an
enemy to lawns. Saturating the oil
with solution Of corrosive sublimate
|is also recommended, but it should be
remembered that this preparation is
deadly poison, and the greatest care
should be used in its preparation and
use. Three ounces of this substance
should be dissolved in two quarts of
water in some glass or glazed vessel
(which will not absorb the poison. The
stock mixture Of this preparation is
Sufficient for so gallons Of water, or
practically the capacity Of the ordi-
mary oil barrel. This diluted mixture
SHOULD be applied to the lawn at the
rate Of from 11a to 2 gallons to each
square yard, in case the lawn is young
Tor newly established. A stronger ap-
|plication, not to exceed three gallons,
can be used on older sod.
