Shorthorn men will be glad to know
that Harry L. Summers of Salmon,

be at the sale.
From the time plans first were
formed for the May 6 sale, Secretary
Wheeler has been laying stress on the
desirability of having only stock that
is first class and representative of |
the herds from which it is consign-
ed, in the stable for this opening sale
in the new pavilion. This stock is
being fed and fitted and should be
attractive to the buyers. The pedi-

place free from drafts using plenty
of dry bedding.
Sheep may be shorn either with
hand shears or the power machine.
The machine cuts more closely to
the body, does not make so many
second cuts, or as many cuts in the
animals body, and the inexperienced
person can do much better job than
with the hand shears. Experienced
sheep shearers are getting scarce and
the average flock owner could well
afford to have a machine in order
that he might do his own shearing.
Before starting to shear have all
tools, Irvine bag, and place to do the
shearing handy. A clean dry floor
free from dirt and dust is an excel
lent place to do the work. This
should be close to the pen where the
sheep are kept, to avoid losing time
catching the animals
Give a Close Cut
To do a good job shearing the
wool should be removed smoothly,
close to the body, in such a manner
that the fleece is not torn apart.
The animal is set on its rump with
the body tilted backward against the
knees of the shearer, so that the hind
feet do not touch the ground; thus
the animal cannot struggle so read
lily.
No certain method of procedure
in removing the fleece is recon-
mended, as most people do the job
a little differently. First shear down
the belly and sides, up on the neck,
the sides and up the outside
of the hind quarters is a good prac-
tice.
After the fleece has been removed
all dung tags and wet portions
should be removed. The fleece should
be rolled in a neat bundle with the
flesh side out and tied with either
paper or wool Irvine, the former pre-
ferred. Sisel and like Irvine should !
never be used as it adheres to the
wool and lowers its value because it |
will not take the dyes and is harm
jul to the strength and finish of |
cloth. The tying of the fleece may
De done by rolling it up or by the
Use of the wool tying board. The
after is to be preferred by the in

time, for orchard and garden go
long way toward setting the table.
When the farmer stops to think,
he will realize that he perhaps sets
aside very little money each year to
improve the comforts of the home.
The farm woman hasn't the oppor-
tunity to enjoy all the amusements
furnished by the city. Therefore
home should be made especially at
tractive. Nothing adds to the gen.
eral appearance of farm home more
than well painted buildings and well
kept yards. This also increases the
woman's pride in her home and is
an inducement for her to keep the
house more comfortable within.

Dairying is q type of farming

of the land can be converted into
pasture at very little expense and
dairy cows will yield y splendid
profit from the land without the
necessity of removing the stumps,
although sufficient acreage must
be put under the pillow to supply
winter feed. In connection with
dairying, hogs and poultry should
take an important part. All fruits,

FIRST SOCIAL AFFAIR
GIVEN BY LEGION
DECIDED SUCCESS
Over 100 Couples Danced to
Vans Orchestra; Post
Is Appreciative

Thoroughly enjoyed, was the dance
given last evening at the Armory by
the Ralph Oracle post Of the Amer
lean Legion, and since this one was
such q decided success in every way
plans are under way for several more
to be given later in the season, in
,cluding an annual affair, which should
be one of the greatest social events
Of the year.
: This marked the first social event
given by the Ralph Oracle post since
its organization last year and also
showed that the local legion post
is not to be totally outclassed by
brother organizations in various
towns and cities nearby. Bemidji's
American Legion boys are thoroughly
alive and through the social affairs
they wish to let the public know
what they are doing since they doffed
the uniform of Uncle Sam.
Over 100 couples danced to the
music furnished by the Van five-piece
orchestra and everyone enjoyed this
social affair. The members of the
local legion post are we'll pleased with
the support they we're given, and in
vite all who attended last evening
to attend all of the entertainments
that may be given by the Ralph
Oracle post, and especially urge them
to tell their friends Of what the
legion is doing.
