MORE COW TESTERS NEEDED
IN STATE,

The demand for cow testing assoeia-
ton men exceeds the supply. 6eoeral
new associations could be organized in
Minnesota, says w. A. McKerrow, state
leader of livestock and dairy extension,
if testers could be found. Mr.. McKer'
row invites correspondence from young
men who are qualified for this work.
Patrons who feel the need of sugges-
lions relative to winter feeding or man
agement are also urged to write to Mr..
McKerrow. The highest producing cow
reported by the testers for tho month
of September belongs to the Fleck herd
of the Mortified ASSOCIATION. This
cows record was 63.5 pounds of but
terfat for the month. A COW owned
by E. L. Ferguson of the Anoka asso-
citation produced $3.50 pounds of but
terfat for the same period. Other good
records were made by cow. owned by
F. S. Ruble & Son Of Albert Lea, 59.2
pounds, and by a cow in the H. G. Han
son herd at Barnum, 1872 pounds. The
Head herd of 80 cows at Albert Lea
averaged 27.62 pounds of butterfat for
Septteamber.

NAVY HAS ELECTRIFIED HOUSE
KEEPING,

The housewife can obtain an idea 9.
how homes will be run some years in
the future by considering the home Of
the modern sailor. On the U. S. S.
Mexico the culinary staff has at it's dis
posal electric potato peelers, dough
mixers, cake mixers, butter cutters
and meat grinders. Even the humble
task OF dishwashing is done by electric
ity, much to the delight Of the men de-
tailed for the job. A dough boy visitor
to the ship, upon counting his impress
sions, said: "All their K. P. IS (kitchen
Police), do, is sit in a chair and push
buttons!' While this view is not
quite justified, the work in big ship s
galley has been materially reduced. All
baking is done by electric heat. The
ice machine is run by motors. The
ships tailor uses electric irons. The
heating system uses electrically heat
ed air. Casual visitors to the ship OBJ
tain an impression that sailor, tolls
not, neither does he SPIN" The men,
bers OF the ships company indignant
ly deny this, however.
Many Of the large hotels Of the COIN
try have Navy trained men on their
stats. Though not generally known,
hundreds of men in the Navy are be-
ing instructed daily in this very neces-
sary branch Of work. Their promotion
depends upon the degree of proficiency
they obtain, one sure indication Of
good cook is a well-sarisfcd crew at
meal time. Navy food is wholesome,
and the MEN who prepare it must have
proved their ability to cook it up to the
satisfaction Of their shipmates.
Absolute cleanliness in the commits
sary department is insisted upon, and
members Of the ship medical force are
constantly making inspections with this
object in view.

Baked squash is nearly, it not quite,
as good as sweet potatoes. Squash are
easily raised and on rich land are very
productive.
Clean and oil all machinery and tools
before putting them away for the win

we have to move plants in autumn if
We are to have them.
A light covering Of straw on the

more can be put on later. As rule
but one covering is put>on and that
when the ground is frozen hard enough
to hold up team. Four or Eve inches
of straw is enough.
Fragrance in flowers is desired by
many. One peony grower in Minneap-
oils has made it hobby for years to
collect scented peonies. Now that he
is blind and somewhat deaf, he can
still enjoy the varieties, recognizing
them by their odOr.
Keep grass and weeds away from the
apple and plum trees if you expect them
to have a whole hide next spring. Mice
like to nest in weeds or rubbish near
soft bark trees, because they furnish
them easy meals during the winter.

ment Station, by Robert G.. Dahlberg,
in charge Of the seed laboratory, gives
notice that limit has been placeu on
the number of seed samples tat will

or individual. The limit has been FIX
ed at Is purity tests and 40 germina-
will be tested if the stress of work per-
mits. This new regulation has been
made imperative, the. announcement
says, because of the great increase in
the number of samples received and
the lack of funds.
