HAD LAUGH ON DUANE.

The Minnesota Daily Star in its
article anent the St. Peter "battle
royaP between DR.. Shipstead and
! Preus last Monday evening, has the
following spicy paragraphs to add to
the story of the militant militarist OF
st. Peter in its issue of last Tuesday:
Hodgson democrats had the ''laugh''
on Major Oliver J. Duane, editor of a
st. Peter newspaper, today. One OF
them in St. Peter declared that Duane
statement indorsing Preus will cost
Hodgson two democrat votes-Quane's
and Mrs. Quane's. ...5
] Democrats were suspicious OF
! Major Duane, even before the primar-
les one of them said, "and that is one
reason why he received only 3,442
votes in a primary election where 100
times that number of votes were cast.
His admission iustifes our suspicious
that he was only stalking horse for
Preus in the primaries, put in the race
to prevent campaign being made
against Preus before the general cleo
ton. Even if Duane could swing every
vote he got in the primaries, which,
of course, is impossible, he wouldn't
materially change the result"
Major Quane's Sore Toe.
And under the above caption the
Democratic Fairmont Daily Sentinel
furnishes the following embellishments:
At the St. Peter republican meeting

nounced that he would support ]. A. O..

OBITUARY
JOSPEH HOLM. SR.

Another of the early pioneer settlers
OF Brown county passed to his reward
when Joseph Holm, ST., for many
years a resident of the town of Sigel
succumbed at the st. Alexander Home
for the Aged in this city, last Wednes-
day morning, shortly after midnight
Four years ago Mr.. Holm suffered "a
paralytlc2 stroke from the effects so1
which he never fully recovered. Oh
late his health had been failing fast
and last Monday evening his condi-
ton became alarming. le1aY 1atga
Deceased was native Of Bohemia,
Germany, where he was born June Is,
1850, and, consequently passed life's
10th milestone last June. At the age
OF nine years he emigrated to America
with his parents in 1859, coming direct
~ to Brown county and locating on a
farm in the town of Sigel. He followed
agricultural pursuits there until re-
firing and removing to New Ulm with
Mrs. Holm some IL years ago. They
had since resided on North Payne
street, except during the last two
months which Mr.. Holm spent at the
St. Alexander Home for the Aged.
Mrs. Holm passed away on September
5 of this year.
He was married to Miss Frances
Holm in this city during the early
'70s. Their union was blessed with
II children, seven of whom predeceased
their father. Of these, six were VIC
TINS OF the diphtheria epidemic which
ragged in this section many years ago.
The surviving children are: Joseph
Holm, Jr., Faribault, Frank Holm,
Mrs. Henry Kretsch, Henry Holm and
Mrs. Edward Flor, all of Sigel town

FARM DEP ARTMENT.

had your chance and wouldn't come
in. Organize a block of your own.
We don't want you in ours"
With the arrival of the excellent
Jersey bull, oxford Mon Plaisir, 1862
1873, which had been secured for the
use of block members, the farmers
who had at first refused to join the
association were doubly anxious to
get in, but were again told that they
would have to organize a block of
their own. Thus it appears that the
doubling ones, who are found in ev-
cry community, had to pay the pen
atty of hesitating. While they may
still get into the association and en-
joy its benefits by organizing a new
block, they have lost a great deal of
time.

Depth OF Corn Cultivation

Many comparative experiments of
deep and shallow cultivation have
been made, and on the whole the re-
suits are in favor of shallow Guilt
walton, say specialists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. The oc-
casions when deep cultivation is pre-
ferable are few. If excessive rains
have packed the soil and kept it
water soaked, deep cultivation will
help to dry and aerate it. Breaking
the roots of the plants must be avoid
ed so far as possible. If roots are
broken the plants will rapidly pro-
duce other roots, but it will be at
the expense of vitality and the food
supply. After the plants have reach
ed height of 2 or feet, the soil
even in the middle of the rows should
lot be cultivated deeper than inches
and usually a shallower cultivation
will prove better. A loose soil mulch
2 or inches in thickness should be
maintained. 1t retains soil mois-
ture and facilitates the penetration
of rainfall.

When To Cultivate Corn.

The best answer to the question OF
how frequently corn should be cdl-
tivated, say specialists Of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
is that it should be cultivated often
enough to keep down weeds ana 10
maintain constantly a loose soil
mulch till the corn has attained its
growth. To this end a greater num-
Der of civilizations will be necessary
when rains at intervals of about
week cause the surface soil to run
together end crust. This crust must
be brokn and the soil mulch Iestor-
ed, or excessive run-off and evapor-
alton will soon rob the soil of its
moisture.
Promptness in restoring the soil
mulch after rain is important. With
double cultivators widened and by
driving astride each alternate row,
the mulch is restored in half the
time necessary to drive astride of ev-
cry row.

Timber HELPS Poor Lands.

Timber is essentially a poor land
crop. Steep slopes, poor soil, rock
land, unusual corners, quilted and
wooded tracts-all these afford op
portunities for growing timber profit
tably, say specialists of the Forest
Service, United States Department of
Agriculture a careful survey of the
average farm will reveal surprising
number of spots of this sort which
can be utilized to advantage. If they
do not already have trees, planting
them with the proper varieties will
materially increase the value of the
land.

Don't Buy Horse Till You Know He
Is Sound.

The soundness of horse is one OF
the first considerations of the buyer
and should be of the breeder. II
the animal is not sufficiently sound to
Withstand the use for which he is
intended, the logical time to learn
of this is before the purchase.
Selection must be based primarily
on a thorough systematic examina-
ton; the examination should be bas-
ed on a clear knowledge of desirable
and undesirable qualities.
Not only the presence of unsound-
ness but also the condition or SER
iousness Of the unsoundness should
be noted.
Temporary unfitness should be dis
tinguished from permanent unsound-
ness.
A hurried examination is likely to
prove a disappointment.
Observe blemishes, vice, faulty
conformation, unsoundness, and gen.
eral characteristics.
Common blemishes are scars from
old wounds, poll evil, scratches, shoe
boils, and small ruptures.
Common vices are halter pulling,
cribbing, kicking, stall walking,
weaving, and biting.
Common faults of conformation are
straight shoulders, crooked, weak,
or improperly set legs, eve neck,
long, weak back, and dropping Group.
Common unsoundness are splints.

General characteristics include

The Jack Bean-A Vegetable Gold
Brick


Brick
Savage disciples of Voodoo worship
in the American Tropics ascribe SUI
pernatural powers to the jack bean.
These tribesmen plant a row of the
seed around their rude gardens in the
belief that the plant will punish tres
passers. This custom was doubtless
brought by Negro slaves from Africa
where the very similar sword or fetch
bean is thus worshiped. But the
Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, fails to sup
port this weird belief concerning the
bean. Nor do these scientists find
much else to recommend this plant
stranger from the West Indies.
The Jack bean, it appears from
abundant experiments, is a prolific
plant. 1t is not unusual for the seeds
in their 14-inch pods of a jack-bea
plant to outweigh its own heritage;
and the heritage, if cut green, fire.
quently crops at the rate of 16 to 90
tons per acre This wonderful pro-
ductiveness makes the bean a fa-
vorite of the get-rich-quick gentry
who seek to introduce a new and
marvellous commercial plant This
popularity among INSCRIPTIONS pro-
moters accounts in part, at least. for
the numerous aliases under which the
jack bean is known. Pearson beam
wonder beam" "Wataka beam" Co
tani beam" South American coffee
BEAM" etc.. are only a few of the
names in which the jack bean has
been rechristened.
1t has some value in the South as a |
green-manure crop, and there is evil
dence to show that it may be a good |
silage crop when cut green.
Cattle do not relish the jack-bean
hay, nor do they make gains upon
the ground seed, which product they
must be taught to eat.
The bean is eaten by natives of |
but most experiments de-
scribe it as flat and coarse in flavor
The seed contains a large proper
ton of a material known as urease,
and used in medicines, but the de-
mand for this product is extremely
limited.

says the United States Department
of Agriculture, when the ears or

Dairy Men Discover Value of Good
Sire

Sire
From Attala County, Miss, new
evidence of the popularity of the bull
association among farmers with small
dairy herds has come to the attention
of the Dairy Division, United States
Department of Agriculture, through
the announcement that a cooperative
bull association has been organized
in that community.
Dairying is almost a new venture
with many of the farmers in Alfalfa
County. Perhaps it is this very new
ness and the consequent lack of pre-
judice in favor of old methods of
doing things that has made it so
comparatively easy to introduce this
modern method of improving dairy
cattle. Many of the dairymen in the
community have shown themselves 10
be progressive, but one man especial
ly stands out as a leader in this re-
spect. We will call him Green. He
is a good old southerner who is said
to have farmed for some so years.
When the agricultural extension
agents from the Federal and State
departments came into the COM
munity to organize a bull association
Green was the man they called on
first. They knew from experience
that he would be very likely to see
the advantage of such an association
to the community, and would be a
strong factor in swinging into line
other farmers in the neighborhood.
AS was expected, Green at once saw
the advantages that the proposition
offered, and the very next day he
started in on the preliminary work
of organizing a bull association
block
A few days later the extension men
heard over the telephone that block
was practically assured. Later, how
ever, Green telephoned that some of
the prospective members were drop
ping out, as they had remembered
disastrous experience of some years
before, when they had paid a high
price for a worthless stallion. This
objection was met, however, with
the assurance that the Federal and
State agents were indorsing this pro-
ject and would see that no one was
swindled.
Later on Green informed the coun-
ty agent that a block of 40 cows had |
been formed and could be signed up |
If the agent and specialist would |
come out to the schoolhouse and |!
clear up certain doubtful points. This
was done, and farmers signed up |
43 cows, so that S43O was then avail
able for buying a bull.
Others Want 10 Get In
Things were moving along in such
a promisiinnwaessueyP
a promising manner that the farmers
who had refused to join decided that
il would be a good thing to get into
the association after all, and request
ed membership in this block.
