POULTRY CULLINC
DEMONSTRATIONS

Three Poultry Culling demonstra-
tions will be held in the county the
coming week, at the James Thoreson
farm at Fingal on Monday, August
10Th, the L. E. Stillman farm in Mol
timer Township on Tuesday, the 30th
and at Sanborn on Wednesday, the
31st.
A. o. Barton, poultry specialist
from the Agricultural College will as
sist in these demonstrations.
The purpose of the culling demon
strations is to separate the layers
from the non-layers. This can be de-
termined fairly accurately by the ply
steal construction of the chickens.
During the fall the flocks are usually
reduced by selling the older fowls
When deciding on what chickens
should be sent to market it would be
well to have information as to wheth-
err you were selling the layers or nom
layers. Sufficient information can be
gotten by poultry raisers who attend
these demonstrations to enable them
to return to their own focks and con-
duct the culling without further as
sistance.
These meetings have been arranged
by T. x. Calnan and Miss Clara Lar
son.

WARNING TO FARM
ERS AND SIL0 MEN

Turn the machine blower on and
leave it on for at least two minutes
before anyone is permitted to enter a
partly filled silo. Unless this rue is
followed, the result is likely to be
dead men, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Annually fatalities occur among
farmers and their helpers as result
of the workmen entering half-filled
silos after the deadly carbon mono
xide gases have had a chance to ac-
cumulate directly above the freshly
ensiled corn. A few days ago two
Illinois farmers were killed and another
was rendered seriously sick by silo
gases which are almost as dangerous
as the poisonous mustard gases used
during the recent war. In this in
stance, one of the farm work men en-
tered 50-foot silo which had been
half filled the previous day. Some
time elapsed and when he did not come
out, another of the hands assembled
into the silo. Neither reappeared:
though the other workers shouted to
them repeatedly to come down.
4. Fearing an accident, the farm own
er finally climed into the silo. He
also was Immediately overcome by the
poisonous fumes and only the fact
that others followed him, forced open
the extra silo doors and carried him
into the open air saved his life. The
two other men were suffocated imme-
diately.
Each year, number of accidents of
this kind occur, due largely to care
lessness and ignorance Of the proper
methods of eradicating the dangerous
gases. The preventive measures are
Simple and efficient and, where they
are followed, there is no danger.
No workman should enter a partly
filled silo, after the ensiled corn has
had an opportunity to develop pois-
onous carbon monoxide gases over
night, until the machine blower has
been started. The fresh air dilutes
and scatters the obnoxious gases to
the extent that they ape rendered
harmless. After the blower has been
operated for two minutes, it is perfect
" safe for the workmen to enter. An
other precaution which should be prac~
ticed religiously is not to wedge the
silo doors into place until they are
needed to prevent the waste of the en-
SLED corn. Many farmers follow the
practice Of placing most OF the doors
before any great amount of corn is
cut and deposited in the silo. This
prevents free circulation Of air thru
The silo which, in turn operates to fav-
or the accumulation Of carbon mon
oxide and other deadly silo gases.

BURLEsQUE TURNS TO TRAGEDY

BURLESQUE TURNS ~ IRAGEDY
Instead Of a broad burlesque on ex-
travagance, the purchase of the c0los-
sal airship ZR-2 was turned into the
grimmest of tragedies Wednesday.
when the huge $5,000,00O craft crum-
pied in the air, exploded, and fell into
Humber river near Hull, carrying.
most of tbs crew to their death.
Surely there never was more
criminal waste of money contemplat-
ed. The cost of the ship itself was but
small part of it. The huge hangar
in New Jersey cost $4,OOO,OO0, a sum
sufficient to buhd comfortable homes
for 1000 families. The annual up.
keep charge would have been enor
NOUS, for at least 500 men would have
been needed to man the ship and do
the work about the hangar.
And in return for this stupendous
cost, the American government
would have had nothing but a huge
white elephant on it's hands. In Great
Britain, where the ship was built, the
big dirigibles have been abandoned for
war purposes. because their expense is
out of all proportion to the results OBJ
tanned. Airplanes, costing small
fraction Of what dirigible costs, are
considered more effective.
Yet America was purchasing this
huge vessel which would have made
enc trip across the Atlantic, and pos
sibly one exhibition trip across the
continent, and then would have been
anchored on the New Jersey coast to
disintegrate and become junk.
It was criminal waste of the tax
payers money, and now it has been
turned into terrible tragedy. These
40 odd lives that were lost were sac
rificed for no useful purpose: They did
not materially advance the cause OF
science, or add to the worlds knowl-
edge.
Such useless and maddening extrav-
agances as $5,000,000 airships and
s40,0O0.0OO battleships have created
the universal demand for disarma-
ment. The only difference between
the airship and the battleships, is that
the former went a little more quickly
than the latter, and cost less for con-
struction and for maintenance, put
took a far greater toll of human life.
1t takes 10 to Is years for $4,000
900 battleship to become junk: It took
10 to Is seconds for S5,000.00O air
ship to become junk. If it had not
been for the terrible loss of life, it
was the best thing that could have
happened to the big dirigible. t saved
this country an immense outlay Tor
upkeep, and perhaps we have saved
the construction cost. 1t does not vet
appear from the dispatches whether
the ship was ours or the manufacture
ers' when it crumpled and exploded.
Surely with that grim lesson before
them, the delegates to the disarma-
ment conference in Washington will
not dare let trifles stand in the way OF
an eement.-Forum.

THE MILLENNIUM OVERNIGHT

The proof of the pudding is IN tne
eating. The proof of the futility and
danger of radicalism, is the present
condition in North Dakota. T..
One of the most prosperous states
in the union, is now on the verge OF
bankruptcy. After spending thous-
ands of dollars on advertising the
bonds of North Dakota will go beg
ging. The state, instead of being
united on a program of reconstruct
ton, is divided in two opposing
camps, busily engaged in singing
mud at each other. Communities are
divided, homes are broken up, the
courts are swamped with libel suits;
life in the state is merely one Kill
kenny fair after another.
While the situation is deplorable
and to be regretted, the lesson to be
learned, may in the end be worth the
cost. There is no short cut to the
millennium. Reform to be desirable
must be tempered with common sense
However imperfect the present eco
nomic machinery may be, it is prefer
able to general chaos and no machin-
cry atall.
In evolution, not revolution, eithe1!

American institutions. The long hair

the mob with his rosy pictures Of per.
lection, through destruction of that
which is obviously imperfect, has fail.
ed in North Dakota and he will fail
everywhere else. His doctrine is the
doctrine of self-destruction. His hope
is a hope that can never be fulfilled. 4
Better bear those ills we have than
fiy to those we know not Of. This is
the voice of tested wisdom. Until
these hy-by-night reformers can pre-
sent some program that can be adopt
ed without tearing down the founda-
tions society now has, they are men.
ace to any community and must be
put down.
In Russia and North Dakota the
theorists for some time have hello
sway. Present conditions supply the
answer. Not that bolshevism has beer
adopted in North Dakota in the non
partisan movement there has beer
much that is good, but the spirit o.
the millennium over night was the

that human experience again has con

Mark Twain once edited a newspa-
per in Missouri. One of his subscrib-
ers wrote him that he had found a
spider in his paper and wanted to
know whether it meant good luck or
bad luck This was Marks answer:
"Finding a spider in your paper does
not mean good or bad luck to you.
The spider was merely looking over
the paper to see which merchants are
not advertising, so that it could 60
there and spin its web across the door
and never be molested."

1t does make a person want to laugh
when he reads in the league papers
that the l. V. A want to drop the re-
call election. The fact Of the matter
is that the independents are scared the
other fellows won't stick and thus
kill off the recall plans. The leaguers
should not kid themselves into think
ing that the recall election will not be
pulled off-the only thing that will in
terfere with it will be the three fell
lows against whom the recall is di-
rected, will resign. They say they

The schools of the country today
cost the American people about ST.

$20,000,000, 20 cents per capita. This
