lace. To eliminate heating it is only
necessary to crowd out the air In the
waste by moisture. Sometimes, how
ever, the amount of rainfall is not
sufficient to keep filed the interstices
of the pile. In such cases heating en-
sues and loss of ammonia takes place.
We have seen badly ''f1refanged"
manure in open pits. However, this
was due to neglect on the part of the
owner and might have occurred had
the manure been held under cover.
The chief virtue of this last form Of
storage is that it permits one to regu-
late at will the amount Of moisture
that manure contains. In either case,
the result will be the same if the
manure is not permitted to dry out.
With the pit and the overhead shell
ter making for the same results the
choice between them lies in other fac
tors, chief of which is the matter of
handling the manure when it is re
moved. Unless pit is provided with
an underground cistern into which the
liquids can pass the task Of removing
the manure is apt to be anything but
agreeable or easy at certain times. 1t
Is easier, also, to load manure into a
spreader when it does not have to be
elevated from pit sunk below the sur
face of the earth. However, some pits
are so constructed that the spreader
can be driven into them Some Will
see in the extra equipment Necessary
for handling of liquids an objection to
the pit equipped with cistern. On
the other hand the use of liquid of
this kind on early crops is sometimes
an advantage All in all, while the
ends served are the same, the choice
between a pit and an overhead shelter,
either in the form of a simple roof COW
ering or a more elaborate manure
house, is. one Of personal choice.

Or seven years have resulted in the
eradication Of the pest from 1926
square miles, or about 90 per cent of
the infested territory.
AS a result of these strides in eradi-
cation the figures on dairy production
show large totals, and in 1921 milk and
butter were imported products. Dur
ing that year 9,939,S95 pounds Of but
ter fat in the form of sour cream was
produced, selling for a little more than
100000, and $500, 722 pounds of but
ter, valued at $3;2400O0. More than
100000 pounds of sweet milk was
bought for making ice cream. Pasteur-
izing plants reported handling 62,261,-
983 pounds Of milk The figures are

In selecting birthday and Christmas

other animal? This is the suggestion of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, which, with the various states,

SUCCESS WITH SHEEP FLOCK
It Is Necessary to Use Good Purebred
Rams and Young Ewes Are Most
Desirable.

In building up a flock of sheep, it
is necessary to remember to do these
things: /. Use good purebred rams.
2. Select young ewes. Yearlings, two
year-olds, or perhaps, three-year-old
are far more desirable for starting a
flock than older ones. 3. Discard
broken-mogthed ewes and ewes with
bad udders. A. Choose ewes having
good size, desirable forms and dense
feeces, the first year because a sheep
makes its greatest growth during this
period. 6. Give the flock good care
throughout the entire year.

DAIRYING GOOD sTABILIzER
Provides Something for Farmer to Sell
at Good Prices When Other
Crops Fail.

Dairy farming should not suppis9t
grain, fruit or general live stock
farming, but rather supplement them.
Dairying will prevent some of the ups
and downs in agriculture by acting
as a stabilizer and providing some
thing to sell at good prices when other
crops fail
The dairy business is not a ger-rlch-
quick business, but it is safe and
sane business; a system of farming
that builds up attractive homes, that
creates more prosperity and supports
more people than any other known
form Of agriculture.

PROPER SIZE OF HEN FLOCK
Number Which Can Be Kept Most EffI(
GENTLY Will Depend Upon Space
Available. ei

The size Of the flock which can be
kept most efficiently will depend upon
the space available and upon the
amount of table scraps and other
waste available for feed. It is a mis-
take to overstock your land, says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Better results will be obtained
from a few hens in a small yard than
from a large number. The backyard
flock rarely should consist Of more
than 20 or 25 hens, and often of not
more than eight or ten. For 20 or %
hens you should have yard % by 30
feet In size.

Become a Prone.

In feeding lot Of pullets heavily
for egg production, should any indi-
vidual become overfat and threaten to
break down, it is a good plan to take
her out of the general pen and feed
her more lightly. In fact, it may be a
good warning that you are feeding all
of them too heavily and should slow
up little. Remember that an overfat
pullet makes no better a layer than
IN overfat hen. She will become a
drone in her class.

TO REDUCE FERTILIZER BILL
Much Money Can Be Saved on Farms
Where Live Stock Is Kept by
Caring for Manure.

On farms where there are live
stock-and most farms should have
live stock-it is possible to eliminate
much of the fertilizer bill. For the
manure from the animals, if taken
care Of, is rich in those elements
which make plants grow and produce
food for man and beast.

disease known as blackhead which has
caused heavy losses, and in some in
stances the business has been given up
entirely for this reason. These causes
Of loss together with the frequent raw
ages of wild animals including dogs
and rats, have all tended to discourage
development Of the industry.
The raising of turkeys may be a
very profitable occupation where there
is an abundance Of range ample feed,
and reasonable freedom from preying
animals, the department states Even
for those who have a limited range
there are opportunities for raising a
few, turkeys each year if proper time
and attention are devoted to it. The
department points out, however, the
desirability Of those who enter the
business to study it thoroughly in all
it's features.
Difficult to Ship Alive.
1t is very difficult to ship turkeys
alive to market since the shrinkage is
very heavy Ordinarily turkeys do not
eat very much when confined, and
therefore they are usually killed and
dressed locally and then shipped to
market, packed in barrels or boxes.
Turkeys, like chickens, may be either
scalded or dry picked, but the dry
picked birds are preferred in most
markets because they keep better, and
there are no losses Of their substance
by reason of a great deal Of the soluble
substance being removed by soaking
in water or by packing in Ice. There
are conditions, Of course, where there
is no alternative but to pack the birds
in ice and ship them in bar
rels. The objection to scalded-dre
birds does not obtain to the same ex-
tent where the birds are dressed and
sold Immediately to the consumer.
Turkeys mature and feshen very
much better in the fall when the at
.mosphere is crisp and fairly cold, such
as prevails for some weeks preceding
the holiday season. During this sea-
son the birds are in greatest demand,
be had at all seasons. Warm weather
during the week preceding the holt
days has a marked effect on demand,
and. other conditions being equal, the
quality Of dressed turkeys for the hol-
iday market may be predicted to a
great degree by weather conditions
during the fall season.

FORGERY CHARGED
AGAINST MURRAY

Default of $1,000
Bail.

Ralph R. Murray. arrested By the
police Wednesday on a charge of issu-
ing a worthless check. was charged
with forgery in an information filed
Saturday in district court by the coun-
ty attorney. He is being held in the
county Jail in default of $1,000 bail
which was the amount fixed by Judge
J. B. Leslie when he issued a bench
warrant for his arrest.
The information alleges that Murray
forged the name of Leo Smith to a
check for $50 which he is said to have
cashed at the Lion Clothing company
a short time before his arrest. The
check, it is said, carried the endorse
ment Of Murray, who gave his address
as 313 Third avenue south. Authori-
ties believe that Murray is responsible
for several other forged checks that
have appeared recently.
This is the second forgery charge
that has been preferred against Muir

Of his family, he was prosecuted on

HOMBS TO APPEAL
BIG DAMAGE SUIT

for $4,000 Was Non
Suited.

Notice Of appeal to the supreme
court from the judgment entered in
the $1,000 damage suit of j.. NJ.
Hombs, a former Great Northern
brakeman. against the director general
Of the railroads, was filed Saturday in
district court by ~counsel. for the plain
tiff, who lost the case on a motion for
nonsuit by the defense.
Hombs sought $4,000 damages for
alleged injuries sustained when a ca
boose in which he was riding derailed
and went over an e~mbankment. Judge

TO PRESERVE HISTORIC PEN
That Used by Secretary Of State
Hughes on Important Occasion
in Care of D. A. r.

The Flagstaff penholder used by Sec
rotary of State Hughes in signing the
treaties agreed upon by the delegates
at the recent conference on the linn
itation of armament in Washington
will be preserved to posterity in the
custody of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, probably in Memorial
Continental hall, where the treaties
were signed.
The penholder is made of native
woods from % states and territories,
and is decorated with miniature flags
of % nations, including the nine rep
resented at the conference and several
of the allied powers in the World war.
The woods were collected and fash
toned into a penholder about IA inches
long by David Fairbanks of Chicago.
Two small pieces Of wood used in
it's manufacture are of special his
toric interest The section Of cotton
wood from Michigan was taken from
a tree standing on the ground where
the old Indian chief, Pontiac, fought
his last battle with the British in
1853. and the piece Of red cedar from
South Carolina came from tree
planted by the statesman John G. Cal
houn.
