Farimont, April 17.-AIl neck
by order of the town council of
that village. No longer will the ar
dent swain, be permitted to glide
across the floor with his neck placed
tightly against that of his partner,
while the orchestra strikes up the
"Sheik of Araby." The standing
dance, the wiggely dances, the Kan
CARGO. the Moonlight, the Chicago
and many dances not known in Min
nesota people are placed on the
blacklist. 1t is going to be a great
place for the devil to steer clear
of in the future.
Gone are the days, " hen you are
your own Judge of whether you are
dancing in the latest improved
method or not. This matter is left
entirely with the village Marshal,
who will be the chaperone. the cen
sor and the official bouncer. His
duties will be easy. ALI that he
will have to do is to enforce the
rules, which in his Judgment are
waltz, the fox trot and the one STEP
Pity the poor marshal who will
have to perhaps use a yard stick
to measure the proper distance be-
tw cen couples.
We would like to know how a
dance can be a dance when one
fails to take a long step, short
step, or stands still. The old time
square dances permitted that much
freedom of movement. Rut orders
from headquarters in Ripgsted say
that anyone violating this rule will
be ordered from the hall.

How Much to Feed

In addition TO the grain, feed ap-

mixture should be. Oil meal is
laxative and should not be fed too
heavily with other feeds that are

Put forth a strong effort to pro-
duce hay, silage or roots and grains
like corn, barley and oats on the
farm and thus save buying them.
Grow rutabagas, mangels or stock
beets for roots. whichever variety
will do best on the land. Store
these where they will not freeze

Feed Cow All They Can Eat
Aim TO feed cows all they will
clean up without waste and at the
same time pay for in milk produc
ton. Discard cows from the herd
which do not pay market price for
all of the feed which they consume
Help to organize and belong to a
cow testing association, which will
help more than anything else in
building and having profitable
herd of cows.
| Provide salt in a box where a
cow can get to it as she wants 1t
or supply it with the feed. One or
two ounces of salt. depending upon
the amount of milk produced, will
be required daily.
Water the COW twice or three
times daily. giving her water in
the winter time that is not colder
than that from a deep well. Do not
let her have ice water. 1t takes
! lots of water to make milk; there
fore, do not overlook the matter oil
watering the cow regularly.
1t will pay to brush and groom

clean. Keep the milk clean and
away from bad odors, which will
insure your liking the milk better
and getting a better price for milk
cream or butter which is sold.
| Do not turn the COW out during
cold days for a longer time than
she seems to enjoy it. Do not lei
her become chilled.
Take out the window of the
stable and replace it with a gunny
sack or muslin screen during the
summer time. If the COW cannot
have plenty of shade it will pay to
put her in the stable during the
hottest part of the day. This will
also protect her from flies during
the bad ny season.

SEWER CMPLAINT
 COSTCITY $2, 800

Failure to maintain adequate sewer facilities for carrying off waste water on Fourth avenue, north, will cost the city of Birmingham $2.5O0, according. to the verdict of jury in Judge Dan A. Greene's division of the circuit court yesterday. which awarded that sum to Mrs. Eleanor A. Johnston as damages.
 According to the allegations of the original complaint, which claimed $e,oO0 as damages, the plaintiff, who resides at 6526 Fourth avenue, north, and her family were greatly annoyed and inconvenienced by the overflow from the city sewers near her resi- dence on October 29. It was alleged that the city sewers oyerflowed for several days, during which they dis charged sewage water and other noxious matter which gave forth foul and unwholesome vapors in large quantities.
 Negligence of the city in alleged failure to properly maintain it's sewer system was alleged as the proximate cause of the injuries complained of.
