Minnesota Farmers Institute Annual
Out

In Minnesota Farmers Institute An
nual No. 33, fresh from the press, the
general subject Of "Farm Develop
ment' is treated from almost every
angle and particularly as it relates to
the northern part Of the state where
forest and muskeg are being converted
into good farming land. A. J. Mcclure
formerly superintendent of the expert
ment station at Grand Rapids; ;*draws on
his experience Of many years in the
north to suggest cropping system fol-
q new cutover farm. 0. l. Bergh, pres
ent superintendent at Grand Rapids
submits plans for cropping farms al
ready developed. These are but sample
articles in a list embracing practical
information and advice on all phases OF
land-clearing, farm drainage, dairying
beef, sheep and sWine. growing and the
opportunities to be found in bee culture
and poultry raising. While largely de
voted to the peculiar problems Of the
northland, the Annual has its appeal fol
farmers in all parts Of Minnesota. Hints
in selecting farm and in the use OF
credits in developing a farm business
apply to all sections, as also do articles
on peat land improvement and farm
drainage for larger and better crops
Copies of the Annual can be obtained
by applying to the Agricultural Exten'
sion Division, University Farm, st.
Paul, Minn., and enclosing five cents to
cover postage.
Handicap Removed From Judging Team
Watch Minnesota club juniors in the
1921 stock Judging contests at the Ma
tional Dairy show and the Internation'
al Livestock Exposition. State leaders
at University Farm have decided that
Minnesota e team Of three shall be
chosen hereafter at the state fair rath
er than late in the fall at a contest al
University Farm. Heretofore Mime
sofa boy and girl judges have been Sc
lected only a few days before they were
to appear in the big Chicago competi
tion.
Generally they are strangers to eacf
other; there was no time for systematic
coaching or the teaching Of real team
work. Georgia's team, which won first
place at the recent International, was
chosen as far back as August and had
spent months in judging farm animals
before it was called into action at Chi
cago. Similarly, other teams which
ranked higher in the competition than
Minnesota had had months for training
where Minnesota had had only days
With the removal of this handicap by
providing for the selection of judges at
the state fair in September, future
teams from Minnesota are bound to be
at or near the top.

Revival Of the British Beard.

A young man about town walked
down Bond street in London recently,
and the sight so shocked the sensitive
British public that the London Daily
Chronicle saw tit to run the item as
a news item.
He was elegantly dressed, says the
paper, and carried the familiar cane
of Piccadilly, while monocle reposed
in his right eye. But his beard was
the masterpiece of the outfit. 1t was
very dark, it recalled the pictures OF
the Stuart kings, and created SEN
saiion. wherever it was seen.
The young man, except for MS
beard, was Enthusiastically English.
~ don't think that boards for young
men are likely to be popular outside
the West end" a hairdresser in, the
neighborhood of Bond street told a
Chronicle representative.
"But certain young men about town
appear TO be tired Of looking like
stage heroes, and have decided to
grow boards. A beard makes some
men look younger, and man who has
a weak mouth and chin which slight
ly recedes should wear both mustache
and beard"

Joke Nav Prove Serious.

Nscount Mayeda aud Viscount Aoki
of Tokyo, Japan, both very prominent
members of the house Of peers, were
considerably surprised, as were their
friends, when they received elaborate
mourning cards announcing their
death. The cards were gotten up in
the usual formal style employed on
such occasions, chief mourners, among
them Premier Hara, were named, and
everything was in regular shape eX-
cept for the fact thai the persons
whose deaths were announced We're en-
tfrely ignorant Of their decease.
The authorities in Japan DO not
take Jokes of this kind, however, and
after searching investigation it vas
found that the perpetrators OF the
hoax were members Of q political or
ganization of radical young men. The
wish was father to the thought. Sev-
eral Of them have been arrested and
prosecution will proceed with all the
gravity in the world.

Ho, Hum How Sleepy we are!
A story of drifting mine which
came ashore on the Durham coast
some time ago, and gave rise to an
amusing incident, which might have
easily resulted in a tragedy, is told by
the London Morning Post.
Zone Saturday afternoon the mine
sweeping division at the admiralty re-
ceived long-distance telephone call
from the local Durham police, who
stated that a mine had been washed
ashore. but that before they or the
coast guard could warn people OF,
.niner-who had luncTTed we'l--had
ciambered on top of it and gore to
sleep. What were they to DO: They
were given strict injunctions not to
attempt to arouse the man, because In
waking Up suddenly he might break
one Of the horns with disastrous re-
suits to himself and others. Two hoNrs
later the police. in very relieved
voice, reported that the man had aWak-
ened of his own accord and had slid
off the mine into safety"

of whom could speak word of Eng

Stevens had to do his talking with his
hands, giving orders by signs. After
the GO days were at an end the skip

making signs that when he finally ar

DO you SIT DOWN PROPERLY?
Sometimes That Is a Little Mistake
in Daily Existence That Tends
to Shorten Life.
It is said that there is q right and a

It is said that there is right and q
wrong way Of doing everything.
Yet how many Of US realize that
there is a right and wrong way or
sitting down, climbing stairs and so
on? asks a London Tit-Bits writer.
Sitting down on char seems so
easy that it is impossible TO do it the
wrong way, but a specialist, featuring
recently, pointed out that the habit
many people have Of sitting on the
ed.e OF chair is very injurious. A
certain nerve is sat upon, and the re-
suit is sciatica, caused through the
nerve being injured.
Walking up stairs is another thing
that nine out of every ten people DO
the wrong way. The usual method
is to place the ball of the foot on the
stairs and then take the whole weight
of the body on the part of the foot,
the heel never being placed on the
ground until the top is reached. The
right way, however, Is to place the
whole of the foot on each stair. II
this is done, there will not be so much
fatigue when the top is reached.
The habit Of boiling eggs and bacon,
coffee and other things, and then run
ming for train or bus, is fatal TO
the digestive system. The food is not
properly masticated, and the whole
body is disorganized by the wild rush
for the train.
How many people drink gallon OF
water a day? This is the amoupt that
should be taken if one wishes to re-
tain good health.
Many people 60 wrong in cleaning
their teeth. The habit of merely wash
ing the outside of the teeth is wrong.
The back and top of the teeth need
lust as much attention. Decay sets in
as easily at the back and on tie top
of the teeth as anywhere else. Re
member also that the top of the teeth
is the part that comes In actual con-
tact with food.
Standing does not appear to be a
particularly difficult operation, but no
tice people standing in a railway sta
ton. Notice the men, with their
hands buried in their pockets. backs
bent, and heads dropping forward and
the women with their feet at extra
ordinary angles. and so on.
The body. when one is standing
should lie balanced equally on the two
feet, which should be turned out
slightly The whole 5pdy should be
held upright, includingsthe head.
Talking to doctor, the writer asked
him what effect doing such things in
the wrong way would have on the
life of an ordinary healthy person.
He replied that it was difficult TO
generalize, but that doing something IN
the wrong way daily. might lessen life
by fifteen years or more.
