High Honor for Boy.

Stratford Courier: Stanley Quick,
son of Charley Quick of this place,
was the Hamilton county boy winner
of the diploma given by the Iowa De-
partment of Public Instruction in a
scholarship contest. In every county
in the state such scholarship contest
was conducted for boys and girls, com
petitiye examinations being taken in
arithmetic. geography. L. S. history,
spelling and grammar, the questions be-
ing prepared by the state department.
In the boys class Stanley Quick was
the winner of the diploma which is a
very pretty document signed by the
governor of the state, state superin-
tcndent of public instruction and the
county superintendent of schools. The
boy has every reason to be proud of
his achievement. It is no little thing
to be able to pass an examination
which leads the entire lot of boys in
the county in the subjects mentioned.

Inventory Of School.

School Notes in Ellsworth News
Now that the government requires a
detailed inventory of all public pro-
property we have had taste of inven-
tory work. The inventory is detailed
and calls for every little item. This
meant quite few articles in case of
physics, agriculture, and manual train
ing equipment. AS we had no records
ON which to base the original cost of
objects, it was necessary to look them
up in retail catalogs. We found that
as nearly as we could determine the
original value of the physics and agri-
culture equipment was about $6O7.51.
The present values were also estimat-
ed for each individual item and the
present value summed up to S539.64.
The manual training equipment ac-
cording to catalog retail prices was
worth $310.S3 when new, and our es-
{ mate of the present value is $2j3.75.
1t probably would be interesting to
know the value of some Of the other
equipment, but that hasn't been sum-
med up at this time. However, we
have very little beyond state require
ments for approval in most cases and
n some cases we fall short. But that
can be remedied by reasonable adj
ditiOn each year.

Putting Lime on Glover.

Lime is being placed on the farms
CT Clarke county where the farmers
recently purchased four cars Of it to
be placed on their clover and alfalfa
fields. Last year they tried out a car
Of lime on some Of the fields and the
success has warranted further efforts.
Tests Of the soils showed that in
practically all of the cases there was
acdity and that lime was required.
The soils department of Iowa State
college advises application of lime
where alfalfa is to be grown. 1t can
be applied during the winter if the
ground can he driven on and a good
result will follow. Before applying
lime it is best to have the land tested
s, that the proper amount can be APP
piled.

Do Not Oyercrcwd Poultry.

Many pollltrymcn in Iowa are over
crOwding their flocks according to J.
j. Warren, extension poultryman at
Iowa State college and egg produc-
ton is being lost on this account.
IL there is not enough room for the
increased flock it will pay the owner
to build extra laying pens for the
pullets. Not only will the egg produc-
ton be cut down by crowded quar-
tiers, due to lack of exercise. but there
is IA greater chance to lose poultry
through diseases. Ventilation is faulty
and cleaning the quarters is made
difficult.
Also, many poultrymen allow their
hens to ramble around the farm on
nice days, thinking it will be of bene-
fit to the flock. This, say the experts
will make the chickens restless, when
confined again and the egg production
is cut down as result.
Where slow maturing pullets are
found in the flocks they should be dis
posed of as they will start laying too
late to be Of value.

Dent Over Feed Horses.

Work horses on the farm should be
turned out to run when the fall work
is over or they will take on too much
fat and be in poor shape the following
spring. According to the animal hus-
bandry department of Iowa State col
ltge many horses are kept in stables

ditions they will be better off out Of

Build 4 Movable Fence.

Movable fences are Il necessity on
the average farm, according to the
animal husbandry department at Iowa
State college Which has design for
one which proved very useful.
This fence can be taken down and
moved to new location in Il short
time. can be packed away in small
space when not in use, furnishes an
excellent emergency fence when Il
sow is needing narrowing pen or an
animal needs Il place to exercise while
under suspicion for disease. 1t can be
set up on frozen ground without extra
effort and can be used for a creep
around a straw stack.
Due to the high price Of lumber
many farmers do not like to put
money into board fences. yet they de-
sire individual pens of temporary
type. Where few sections Of such
Il fence is built they are very handy.
Plans for such fence can be got

Don't Mix Milk for Chickens.

In feeding milk to chickens be care
FIJI not to mix sweet and sour millls,
or the chickens will suffer digestive
troubles. According to the poultry
lnen at Iowa State college either
makes good feed but mixing should
he avoided. Where sweet milk is fed,
be sure not to leave old milk in con-
tainers or the milk will sour during a
days time, especially in the fall when
tie days warm up unexpectedly.
Many poultrymen are reporting trou-
bic over the use of milk as feed and
most of it is caused by the mixing in
feeding sweet and sour milk.

Hog Cholera on Decline.

Hog cholera in Iowa is on the de-
cline, according to reports received at
Iowa State college recently. Many
counties report that although much
damage resulted, prompt examination
10y veterinarians saved further losses.
Vaccination and isolation of any
animals that were suspected of the
disease prevented further outbreaks.
Although the disease in most sections
is abating the veterinarians warn farm
crs from becoming lax in their manner
of handling hogs. Keep the herd in
good condition and do not allow the
animals to come in contact with any
that are sick. Even though it does not
look like cholera, isolate all suspects
until the illness is diagnosed.
Vaccination after the disease has
started is not as effective as when ap-
Piled before there is any sign of trou-
lie.
Be careful when cold weather starts
that hogs are kept from crowding in
to small quarters or they will often
get Overheated and pneumonia will re-
suit. See that they have plenty of
clean dry bedding at all times. Watch
out for drafts in the hog houses and
see that cold winds do not blow into
a house where animals are sleeping.
Ordinary precautions are all right
