40 pounds ON the average, have been
divided into three lots. Husked corn

LAMB is WHOLESOME AND
HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE MEAT
Minnesota Ideally Placed for Sheep

Destroying Noxious Weeds.
Prepared by the Agricultural l

fPrepared by Office of Publications,
University Farm, st. Paul.
A great deal of campaigning has
been done to increase the consumption
of lamb. The National Wool Growers
Association of Salt Lake City has been
prominent in this work, having issued
an attractive bulletin entitled, "Whet-
ting Uncle Sans Appetite for Lamb"
Packers have put on lamb demonstra-
tions" at their branch houses and at
car route towns. One that was OF
great interest was held at Duluth a
year or so ago. It was carried on Tor
an entire week and remarkable in
crease in the use of lamb was noted.
Meat Highly DisestibIe.
Lamb is wholesome nutritious
food, and should be found on every
table at least once week. 1t is
highly digestible and very palatable
and for these reasons is used Tor IN
valids and convalescents in the form
of broth. Lamb is healthful, as fewer
animals are condemned by govern
ment inspectors than any other class
of animals Lamb contains less water
and more fat with an equal amount OF
digestible protein than beef. 1t adds
variety to the meat diet. The cuts are
not so large, making very desirable
roasts Best of all, the price is rea-
sonable.
Many people have condemned NUT
ton and lamb for having woolly or
bucky flavor. With modern methods
of slaughter and correct handling, this
is no longer true. One can overcome
this by patronizing butchers or meat
dealers who carry a clean stock and

by the. housewife in improving the

lists of the Minnesota college of agri'
culture, by removing the thin outer

trade as "fell," or having her dealer dc

Minnesota is ideally placed for

to so ewes can be cared for nicely on
most farms north of the twin cities!
The farms where sheep are kept are
more free from noxious weeds.
Housing Not Problem.
1.-THE labor necessary to care for a
small flock is neglible during most OF
the year, the lambing season, generally
coming when the farm work is not so
pressing. Fencing has been one of the
drawbacks, the cost being the first

may be- constructed of three foot
woven wire with two or three barbed
wires on top. The housing necessary
for protection need not be expensive.
Single board walls with good root is
all that is needed as sheep need not
be protected from the cold but from
the snow, rain and wind.
1T was clearly demonstrated the
past summer, that had it not been FOR
the native lambs obtained, the lamb
market. at South St. Paul would not
have amounted to much, as few west
ern lambs arrived. This fact, and the
rather steady prices obtained, should
encourage the Minnesota farmer to
produce more lamb. Lambs can be
produced cheaply under prevailing
feed prices and should be an attractive
enterprise"

COOPERATIVE CREAMERIES
JOINING ASSOCIATION

- University Farm. St. Paul.)
Two hundred cooperative crear'-
cries of the. state, or about one-thlrd
of the total number, have already TAX
en- membership in the new Minnesota
Cooperative Creameries Association,
Inc, according to A. J. Mcclure, who
is on a six months leave Of absence
from his post with the agricultural ex-
tension division of the university, to
place the new cooperative organlza'
ton on its feet.
1.-THE association has suff1t lent
membership now to begin operations"
says Mr.. Mcclure, "but it is being or
ganized and built to serve all the
creameries, and all will be given an
opportunity to join before launching
into business.
"The directors will meet October Ia
to make plans for organizing the Diff
ferent districts. District No. 2, con-
sisting of Chisago, Isanti, Pine, Mile
Laos and Kanabec counties, has had
sufficient membership for some time
to begin work. The state has been
divided into Is districts, each of which
will have it's local organization to look
after local matters"
The association has been organized
to make and save money for the dairy
men of the state. The first step under
taken will be for shipments OF butter
or other dairy products in car lots
Mr.. Mcclure says the saving alone on
freight bills by shipping in car lots
will practically pay the entire operat.

Walking 5000 Miles Carrying Water

In carrying water from the well to
her home, a farm wife Of Ohio trudged
$40 miles in so years, say rural engi'

a full half century this farm wife had
been making an average of six trips a
day, sometimes Juggling a bucket OF
water weighing 30 pounds, and some.
times two buckets. The engineers
found that by laying SIS worth of lead
pipe and moving the old pump up from
the well to within the kitchen, running
water could be- supplied the farm

this pastry is that everything used
should be cold the only exception Is
the warm water used in softening the
yeast. Next in Importance is that the
lghtness and delicacy of the finished
product are produced by the rolling
and folding in of the butter as in pull
paste making.
f. Take one pint of milk, three eggs,
one-half pound Of butter, one yeast
cake, one cupful Of sugar, one and one
half teaspoonfuls Of salt, the grated
rind Of lemon, pinch Of mace and
flour to make stiff dough-about nine
cupfuls. Divide the butter In two
parts after washing out all the salt
and working it thoroughly with
wooden spoon that has been scalded,
then cooled. Wrap the butter In
cloth to absorb all moisture, divide and
place on ice. Sift three cupfuls OF the
-four with the salt and mace. Soften
the yeast in one-fourth of cupfuf OF
warm water. Rub half Of the butter
into the flour or cut it In with two
knives until the mixture is like coarse
meal. Beat the eggs until stiff, and
stir them with the sugar, milk, lem
on peel and yeast into the flour. Beat
very hard, adding more flour gradually
until the mixture becomes too stiff to
handle with q spoon. Turn the dough
on a well-aoured board and knead Wig
orously for ten minutes. Then turn
the dough into bowl, cover with
cloth and place in the ice chest for ff-
teen minutes. Now roll the dough IL
long strips half an inch thick, bring
out the butter and spread on the low
er half of the sheet of dough; bring the
other half down over it. Fold the
ends, one over and the other under the
center, making a compact square with
the butter inside. Tap the dough
slightly and roll again into a long mar
row strip. Then fold again as be-
fore. Now turn the block Of dough
halfway round, roll and fold once
more, then tuck away into cold bowl
and set in the ice chest.

FAMOUS COMEDY
FOR CHAUTAUQUA
FIELD MGR. KIES BRINGS WORD
OF 'BROADWAY JONES" AND
BIG FEATURES COMING

Broadway Jones'" the we'll
known New York comedy in which
George Cohan starred for two years,
will be brought here on chautauqua
this summer.
This was one of the big attraction
features announced by Harry d. Kies
the popular circuit manager of the
Redpath Vawter Chautauqua system
who arrived in town this week with
a list of big chautauqua features
which he declares beats anything
ever slated on Redpath Vawter
program. The dates for our chau-
tauqua as previously announced are
July 21-27.
The play broadway JONES'" deals
with the story of a fellow named
Jones who spent so much money on
Broadway, he became known as
Broadway" Jones. Then he sud
denly found himself broke, and
things began to happen. Out of more
than a score of the funniest side
plitters in the theatrical world, the
Vawter folks, said Mr.. Kies, chose
Broadway Jones" by big margin.
The production is assured capable
cast, as William Keighley is to star
again this year and eight other New
York players of like ability to sup
port him.

LEGISLATURE is CRITICISED
Very Little Constructive Legislation
Passed by Thirty-ninth Gen
eraI Assembly.

The Thirty-ninth general assem-
bly, which adjourned sine die on the
night of April g., reflected the un-
certainty of the times in the opinion
of many observers. 1t was marked
by conservatism in legislative action
and the majority of the legislators
were inclined toward retrenchment
rather than toward expansion in
public affairs, with the result that
not much III the way of construct
i've legislation was enacted.
1t is generally recognized, how
ever, that the Thirty-ninth will be
remembered in history as the legis-
lature which refused to arrange for
constitutional convention which
had been voted by the people. 1t
is now being predicted that this
action will be an important factor
in the next political campaign.
The subjects in which the legis-
lature seemed to be most interested
were how to increase the state rev.
enue without adding to the burden
of taxation, support and encourage
ment of the public schools and the
highway question.
Every question touching on the
roads meant a fight in either body,
but the friends of the present high
way law resisted and overcame all
attacks made upon it. The feeling
on the roar question, however, was
as bitter as ever and the most heat
ed debates of the session were over
road bills.
Although there were several
measures introduced drawn with q
view to increasing the state revenue
the only tax producing measure OF
any consequence that went through
and will become a law was the di-
rect inheritance tax law by Weaver
of Polk county and Wichman OF
Hancock.
The head tax bill providing for a
tax of SO on each person~in the state
over 81 years of age was passed by
the senate but failed to go through
the house.
Each measure which would have
imposed a tax on business was de-
feated. Senator Whitmore of Wap.
clio county could not get his bill
for a tax On theatre tickets through
the senate. Bills TO collect occupa'
tional taxes on coal mining compan-
les and on common carriers had lit
tie chance of passage. A bill to in
crease the annual state tax on insur.
ance companies by Senator Browne
was voted down in the senate. A
similar fate met the other meas.
ures of a like nature.

Eirst Practical Reaper.

Cyrus Ell. Mccormick made the first
successful reaper. He built it as a
boy without his fathers knowing it
and tried it out one fall. 1t was not
entirely success, but he made some
changes and tried it again. Finally
in 1881 he made his first successful
reaper, says Farm and Fireside. He
kept on making improvements and
in 1884 had machine good enough
to patent. He offered them for sale
for $50 apiece, but no one would
buy. Finally in 1889 he invited a
lot of farmers to see it work. 1t
cut two acres an hour That was
really wonderful in those days, but
still no one would buy 1t. The next
year, 1910, man at Egypt, Va,
bought the first machine and paid $50
for It, 1t worked, and faith in the
new invention began to spread.

Cadmium Found in Zinc ores,

Cadmium, metallic element discOv-
cred in 1917 by Stronger, is not
found native, but occurs as the sui
phide in the mineral greenockite, and
in association with zinc ores. Green
ockite is found in Bohemia and in
Hungary, and also In Lehigh county
Pennsylvania, but in too small guam
titles to be of commercial Importance.
Cadmium is constituent of most zinc
ores, and as it is more volatile than
zinc it passes over first, in the reduc-
ton of such ores, as cadmium oxide
This Is collected, mixed with charcoal.
and the mixture heated in iron tubes,
from which the cadmium distills over
in more or less impure state. In
order to purify 1t, the metal is redis-
titled and the product dissolved in
hydrochloric acid, from which solution
metallic cadmium is precipitated with
zinc. Most of the cadmium of COM
meree comes from Silesia, but small
quantities are produced in the Joplin
(Io.) district.
