MAKE REPAIRS WHEN NEEDED
House Owner Owes It to Community
to Keep His Property Looking
Always at Its Best

Keeping the house in repair should
be the endcavor of every homo owner,
for the house in poor condition rapidly
decreases in value and the ultimate
repair hill Is far beyond the expense
necessary to fix 1t at once. A house
should be carefully watched for need
ed repairs, rs there are many little
leaks and tears which might require
attention that are unnotlced unless the
house is Systematically gone over once
in while.
A shingle or Il square of slate found
in the yard is good Indication that
the roof needs attention. and the mat
ter should be attended to ut once. If
II Is delayed the next ralnStOrm might
cause enough water to soak through
the roof to ruin the ceiling and pos
slbly injure the floors.
A broken pane of glass may seem
uuimportant to attend to Mt once, but
II the wall paper or polished floor get
n soaking ii will cost much more than
the expense of a pane of glass to re-
pair the damage. If the broken win
dow happens to be in the cellar 1t
may cause the freezing Of the water
pipes or the boiler
The paint on the exterior Of the
house should receive share Of the
attention and should be renewed at
least every third year. The life of
the house depends ON its ability to
withstand the ravagcs of weather, and
If the paint is in poor condition the
house is bound to decrease In value.

Growers of sugar beets are urged to
give special care To this crnn during
the present growing season In or

supply of sugar There is every indI-
cation that normal crop has been
planted this year in nearly all sugar
beet states. In the past the average
yield of beets per acre in the United
States has been approximately ten
tons, yet yields of IS TO 20 tons are
not uncommon. If the 100000 acres
of beets which were planted last year
all had been carried to maturity and
an Increase of but one ton per acre
had been produced by more careful
methods, we would have had 500, 600
tons of beets in excess of the normal
crop, which would have added 100000
tons to our supply of sugar.
AS soon as the beets have from
four to six leaves they should be block
ed and thinned, SO that the plants

stand Singly at intervals of to IL
inches in row, the rows being 20
inches apart. Careless blocking and
thinning is responsible in part for low
yields. This is readily preventable.
Likewise, careless cultivation re-
duces the number of plants and there
by cuts down the tonnage. This is
also preventable. When the beets are
harvested there Is frequently unneces-
sary loss due to the breaking of the
roots when the beets are lifted, and
by improper topping. If the beets
are not delivered Immediately after
they are removed from the ground,
further loss can be prevented by coy
ering them to prevent drying. If the
weather Is cold they should be sufi-
GENTLY protected so that the roots will
not be frosted.
Labor is one of the principal fac
tors influencing acreage, as more la
Dor IS required In the growing of sugar
beets than most other farm crops.
From all reports labor conditions are
more favorable for sugar heets than
they were a year ago. The depart
ment of agriculture Is endeavoring to
meet the labor situation not only by
encouraging the shifting of labor to
the centers where needed, but also by
encouraging the development and pro-
duction of labor-savlng machinery.
This year there viii be several beet
harvesting machines on the market,
some Of which have been thoroughly
tried out and are capable of doing sat
iSfactory work These implements,
which likely will be in general use in
the near future. will do much to re-
lieve the labor situation and thereby
lend encouragement to the beet-sugar
industry.

DEH0RNING CATTLE is BEST
Operation Should Be Performed Early
Enough to Permit Wounds to
Heal Before Fatteninq.

prepared by the United states Depart
ment of Agricultural
Cattle intended for the feed lots
this winter should be dehorned early
enough to permit the wounds to heal
before they are put on full feed. De
horning offers advantages which the
feeder should not overlook. The cat
tie are more easily and safely handled
when dchorned, and each animal is as
sured of fair play Mt the feed trough.
Dehorning also prevents the bruised
condition of the flesh and torn hides
caused by goring both In the feed lots
and In transit to market, as well as eX-
ceSsive Shrlnkage in shipments. De
horning should be done in late fall or
early winter.
The most common method of de-
horning cattle is TO saw the horns Off,
and for this purpose an ordinary meat
saw can be used, though there are
saws on the market that are specially
designed for the operation. BY this
method good clean Job can be done
on any type Of horn, and the wound is
left In condition to heal readily.
The use of dehorning clippers is be-
coming more common, especially
where a large number of cattle are to
be dehOrned and where they are de-
horned before the horn becomes hard
and brittle. The chief objection to de-

Trees Benefit Community.

Trees help to purify the air by alb
sorbing the carbonic-acid gas exhaled
by all animal life, giving back pure
oxygen. Trees modify the tempera
ture, especially in cities where the
shade cuts off the direct and reflected
heat from sidewalks, streets and build
ings. Yet trees are a city's best asset
merely because they bring an improve
ment in appearance. Thus does the
tail wag the dog where the tale of
trees is told and their death knell is
not tolled.

Front View of Dehorning Chute With
Slipping Side Showing Clamps Closed
Dotted Lines Show Open Position


horning with the clippers is that thin
or hard horns are sometimes crushed
or splintered, resulting In wound
that heals slowly. This objection is
partly overcome by using clippers that
are constructed with two V-shaped
blades, which. when pressed together,
bring four cutting edges against the
horn. lessening the tendency to crush
CT splinter the horn.
A number of methods of restraining
animals during the dehorning opera
tioE have been practiced. Where only
a few head are to be dehorned, the
quickest way is to throw the animal
to the ground and hold 1t or tie it Sc
urely until the horn Is taken off.
When considerable nunber of cat
sle are to be dehorEed, it will pay to
construct dehorning chute. Plans
of chute that has proved very salts
factory fer this purpose are given
herewith. This chute is made narrow
enough Sc that the animal will not
have room to struggle "A great deal,
and with stanchions shaped head
clamp at one end for holding the ami
mails head. After an animal is in the
chute and the head clamp closed a
moose should be placed around the
neck with n loop over the nose The
head can then be snuhbed down to the
peg indicated or the side post This
forces one horn forward SO as to make
1t easily removed. After one horn Is
removed the head should be snuhbed
to the other side for the removal of
the other horn. a chute of this kind
can be constructed at very low cost by
using SCRAP material about the farm.
Cattle should never be dehorned dur
ing warm weather when there is dam
ger of the wound becoming infested
with screw worms The best time to
dehorn is I'm late fall and early winter
or during the cool weather of spring
If the weather is sufficiently cool there
is very little danger of the wound be
coming infested Will screw worms.
However, it is beSf to apply some fly
repellent, such as pine tar or one Of
the coal-tar products to the wound.
The accompanying plans show the
construction of two types of simple
and satisfactory dchorning chuteS.
The dotted lines In both types of chute
show the head clamps when open, and
the lever in both cases is used for
closing the head clamps after the ami
mails head is in position The sides
that are shown in the plans can be
used for either type. The gate is con
venient for letting the animal out of
the chute and also for branding and
vaccinating.
