Zimmerman School Notes.

The grades had visitor on Tues.
day. Strange to say the teachers
weren't very glad to see him and told
him to go home, whereupon he sat
outside the door and protested with
long -drawn-out bowls. Who was he ?
Oh, just dog that couldn't understand
why the children couldn't play with
him.
There seems to be some disagree
mcnt about the time at which the
school bell should be rung, many chill
dren announcing that their time at
home is much later or earlier than the
bell. However, the teachers faithfully
get the correct time every morning
from the central office, and will con-
tinuc to do so regardless Of the opin-
ions Of various individuals.
Christmas is in the air and fast ap-
preaching. Practicing for the pro-
gram is very much in order just now
Eileen Schumacher received 100 in
the arithmetic test, Clara Swanson
and Ethel Kruger 90 in language, and
Clara Swanson and Gordon Carter SO
in geography. These were the highest
marks received in these subjects.
Miss Bowles kindly treated the
grades to candy and peanuts last Mon
day. She says she wished to show her
appreciation Of the way the children
had helped her. We thank you, Mis-,
Bowles.

Social Event.

On Tuesday evening, November 20,
the neighbors gave a farewell sur
prise party for Mr.. and Mrs. Hubert
Johnston, who have lived on the S. E.
Dorm farm in Baldwin for the last
two years. Games were played, after
which refreshments were served con-
sisting of sandwiches, coffee and sew
eral kinds of cake.
The neighbors regret to see Bert
and Esther leave, as they have proved
good neighbors and won the good will
of everyone. The best wishes of the
entire neighborhood goes with Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnston and family to their fu-
ture homo in St. Paul, where Mr.. john
ston secured his former position again.
They moved away last Thursday fore
noon. A good ncighbor gone is like

as wet mash and as dry mash. The
feeding Of the dry mashes are at pres
ent the more popular with poultrymen.
The dry mash should be kept in hop
per before the fowls at all times.
The wet mashes are fed in troughs,
either two or three times day and
in such amounts as they will readily
clean up. The dry mashcs are easier
to feed, requiring less labor, and there
is no danger Of over feeding. In
feeding the wet mash more labor is
required in feeding and in keeping the
troughs clean, and there is danger of
over feeding unless the feeder is care
full. The first two following formulas
for mash rations are recommended by
N. E. Chapman, poultry specialist of
University farm
Mash No. 1.-6 pounds of finely
ground corn, 4 pounds of ground oats,
pounds of wheat nniddlings, pounds
Of bran and pounds of beef scraps.
Mash No. 2.-Six parts of fully
ground corn, parts of ground oats,
4 parts Of wheat middlings, parts of
bran and 2 parts of alfalfa meal, with
beef scraps fed in separate hopper and
kept before the birds at all times.
The following complete egg laying
rations are commonly used with sue
cess:
Ration No. MASH consisting of
20 pounds of corn or barley meal, 10
pounds Of bran, 10 pounds of mid
dlings, 10 pounds of meat scraps
Scratch feed consisting of 20 pounds
of cracked corn, 10 pounds of oats and
10 pounds of wheat.
Ration No. 2.-Mash as follows: 80
pounds Of corn meal (ground corn), 10
pounds of bran, 10 pounds Of mid
dlings, S pounds of meat scraps, fed
with sufficient quantity of table
scraps. Scratch feed consisting of 20
pounds of cracked corn, 10 pounds of
wheat and 10 pounds of oats.
If it is desired to feed wet mash
a sufficient quantity for each feed of
the dry: mash may be moistened with
warm water or with milk. The table
scraps may also be mixed with the wet
mash if desired. The mash should not
be sloppy.
A fresh supply of good leafy alfalfa
or clover should be placed each day in
a rack or crate before the birds to
pick at.
In addition to the mixtures of the
various mashes one half of one per
cent of fine table salt should be added
and thoroughly mixed. An addition
of per cent of bone meal is also very
beneficial
Rules to follow in feeding mashes.-
If lens eat too much reduce the corn
meal or close the hopper part of the
time; if the fowls are getting too fat
pursue the same policy; if they eat
too little mash increase the amount of
cornmeal and feed less grain in the
morning and at noon. Milk by-prod-
ucts, skim milk, sour or buttermilk
are partial substitutes for meat
scraps. When these are given liberal
ly, reduce the proportion of beef
scraps in the dry mash to 10 per cent.

Sherburne County Agent.

Money in Poultry.

A farmer hauled a double wagon
box full of corn to market the other
day, received the sum Of Sc for the
load. His wife rode beside him hold
ing basket containing twelve dozen
eggs and she realized as much for
the basket of eggs as her husband did
for a whole load Of corn. All Of this
goes to show that poultry is no longer
a side issue on the farm, but comes
right up alongside all the other sources
of revenue.-New Richland Star.

After all, it's only a matter of one
meal, not necessarily life agreement.
We know the band boys want every
one to come and they assure them a

Every lady is requested to bring a
basket with lunch for two, or better
still, bring two baskets to help the
boys out. A basket social affords an
interesting entertainment providing
it is run on friendly basis, but it
must be remembered that it is not
only embarrassing, but an open insult
TO any lady to have her basket sold
and then turned in for a second sale
when it doesn't happen to be the one
they thought it was, or to take the

Perhaps the worst form that mater.
