FARM DEPARTMENT.
Conducted by the Farm Bureau.

A number of Howard County people
attended the meeting of the Minneso-
ia Farm Bureau Federation at the
Minnesota State Fair last Friday. J.
r. Howard, President Of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation and
E. H. Cunningham, Secretary of the
Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, were
the chief speakers. They called attsn-
ton to some of the important prob
lens in marketing that are confront
ing the farmers and told some of the
things that the federation had done
toward solving these problems. The
state of Minnesota is rapidly build
ing up a splendid farm bureau or
ganization and they are following
very closely the Iowa plan.
The SO inch tile that is being in
stalled in drainage district No. 4
south of Lime Springs is said to be
among the largest tile in the county.
Drainage work is progressing rapid
ly in Howard County in spite of the
cost of labor and material. Farm
owners are realizing that the Increase
in land values makes it necessary to
use all of the land.
Extensive experiments show that
corn gathered September 20 contains
81 per cent water; Sept. ~ 81 per
water; October 13 43 per cent water;
November 7 % per cent water. It is
safe to say that early selected seed
will contain from 40 to so per cent
be removed before the corn is allowed
to freeze.

brushes. Animal tails went quite out
Of fashion for time. but one cannot
have too many brushes on a neckpiece
or wrap this season, and II half
dozen paws can be added for good
measure, so much the better.
This fancy for paws and brushes Is
exemplihed in a pictured neckpiece
OF hsher-one OF the fashionable furs
OF the moment. Two animal pelts
with long thick brushes fall at either
side. with dangling paws between the
brushes. ard there is a smaller neck
piece attached. the short length OF fur
encircling the throat while the long
ends trail over the shoulders. This
is a very handsome model and the ex

favor as the collar makes the neck

Furs That Are Favored

CHOLERA CAUSES GREAT
RAVAGES IN WEST CHINA
tBy Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 26.-As result OF
the frequent movements of Chinese
troops in Szchuan province, West
China. cholera has been spread more
extensively recently than in the last
90 years. This is the opinion of Prof
Daniel S. Dye, of West China Union
university, expressed in a letter to
Rev. w. R. Taylor, representative of
the American Baptist Foreign Mission
Society in China, now on furlough
here.
The disease has caused great raw
ages in Tungchwan, Chunking and
Chengtu, as well as many of the small
err villages. Americans and Europeans
are virtually immune, Professor Dye
said, due largely to the unusual pre-
cautions deserved by them in the
preparation of food and in the matter
of hygiene and diet.
The first graduates of the univer-
sity medical school, who recently re-
ceived their diplomas, are serving as
internes in hospitals in the province.
Professor Dye was formerly mem
