THALEAN DISTRICT
TAKES FIRST Prize
Community Again Carrys Off
Laurels for Best Display at
1924 Fair

A gentleman interested in Sum
ter county, her people, her schools
and agriculture, Col. J. E D. Ship,
pays a justly deserved tribute to
Thalean district, which wins tho
community prize at the fair this
year. In a letter to the Times Re-
corder Col. Ship says:
when the people of Ihalean dis
trict, three years ago met to con
suit about winning the prize at the
county fair, the community resolved
unanimously to put the whole mat
ter in the hands of one person, and
let that one select helpers as need
ed. Each citizens pledged LOYALTY,
and Mrs. T. M. A. Finch was elected
captain land she gained the distinc.
ton sought.
"On the second fair, A. H. Jen-
nings was selected TO lead and the
results were just what hard work
and enthusiasm will always ac-
complish.
"And at the present fair, Mr.. Jan
nings was again nomin lted by the
people of his district to do the
work. No citizen ever worked with
more energy and sagacity, and Tha-
lean walks off again with honors
that cause all the community to be
proud.
at appears for the 5abulated re-
suits of the judges that Thalean
won on every point except in can
ming products. The palm of VIC
tory for this item is awarded to
plucky New Era, Concord is sec
end, making a total of 81 1-2 points
and thus wins the second prize.
A. j. Jennings, who gave his un-
divided attention to this mat en-, is
treasurer of the Thalean Academy
and has always manifested the great
est interest in the promotion and
upbuilding of the schools Of Sum
ter county"

Sparrow Is Blamed for
Spreading New Disease

A new count has been found in the
indictment against the English spar
row. Not only is he noisy, filthy, and
pugnaciOus, but he sometimes harbOrs
parasite and spreads infection to
other birds.
That this parasite may also affect
chickens and turkeys, a fact which
seems never to have been noted be-
fore, Is reported by DR.. W. A. Riley
Of the division Of entomology and
economic zoology and DR.. H. @. q.
Kernkamp Of the division Of veteri-
nary medicine, University Of Mime
sofa, who examined infested chickens
from a flock raised on the shore of
Lake MlnnetOnka and turkeys from a
farm near Vining, Ottertail county.
The university men found that the
fowls were infested with a parasitic
worm which lives in tumOrs or cysts
about the size of buckshot on the skin.
these tumors being more numerous
near the vent and extending up over
the body and on the legs. While
there is no evidence that the health
of infested fowls will suffer materially,
the presence of the tumors will un-
lessen the market value Of
poultry.
"The parasite has been known in
Europe for more than 100 years as oc-
curing in song birds and has been re-
ported a few times on wild birds in
this country" says Doctor Riley, "but
was never known to be on poultry"

Properly Prepared
Poultry for Market
Fowls Should Be Confined
Few Days and Fed Mash.

Poultry that are hastily caught VI
and taken to market before they art
properly prepared for market will
prove unsatisfactory both to the dealer
and consumer, according to o. A. Bar.
ton, poultry specialist Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college.
'The poultry should be confined 70
close quarters and fed a wet mash Of
pancake batter for from ten days to
two weeks" he says "Cockerels
taken care Of In this manner will show
a gain Of from 20 to 80 per cent and
will be In much better market condi-
tion, thus demanding a better price.
Equal quantities Of wheat, oats and
corn or wheat, oats and barley, ground
fine and wet with either buttermilk
or sour milk makes a good fattening
ration. Use one pound Of ground feed
and two pounds of milk. If milk is not
available, add 10 to 20 per cent of
meat scraps or tankage to the ground
feed and wet with water, using one
and One-half pounds of water to one
pound of ground feed. This should be
fed three times daily, but only what
will be consumed in ten to fifteen min
utes.
eff Gull hens are not in good condi-
ton It is a good idea to feed them the
same ration. Turkeys need to be
grown out well before attempting to
finish them for the market. Access to
sour milk and dry mash Of the ground
feed mentioned will help materially to
develop the BIRDS"

Conditions Required to
Store Roots for Winter

The three conditions necessary fol-
successfully storing root crops are
good ventilation, freedom from damp
ness and a temperature just above the
freezing point. A cool cellar is the
most convenient place but outside pits
may be used If necessary. Bins In the
barn where the temperature does not
vary too much may also be used.
From 20 to 80 pounds Of beets make
a good feed for a dairy COW. Since
they are low in protein, other feeds
should be furnished to provide this
important part of the ration. A ra-
tion Of beets with alfalfa or clover hay
may be fairly satisfactory, but If the
hay is not of good quality, some mar
row ratio concentrate like bran or
oil meal must be added.

Too many farmers still do not real

colleges exist largely to
save costly mistakes and long expe-

Silage will lower the cost of the ra-
ton, make sure a profit from live
stock, and greatly increase the value
of the crops. AS a rule, a silo will
pay for itself the first year. What

Keep Cabbage in Cellar
at PrOner Tennnerat11r

Cabbage keeps best at a temperature
slightly above freezing from S8 to 40
degrees Fahrenheit. Many cellars are
too warm for cabbage and when It is
to be stored in large amounts the
best method is the outside pit. When
the cellar is kept at the desired tenn
perature the best way Of keeping the
cabbage in it is to bury the heads in
boxes of sand. Only the good, solid
heads should be stored. They should
be pulled when they reach a good size
but not left until very large. The late
varieties should be stored as they
keep better than others.

Correct Proportion of
Alfalfa to Feed Pigs

Not more than per cent of a pigs
ration should consist Of ground alfalfa
If made to eat more than that he will
not gain as rapidly as without 1t. The
best way to feed alfalfa to pigs is in
the form of hay. However, sometimes
they will not eat it in that form and
when the ration is such that they
ought to have some Of 1t, it should
be ground and mixed with the feed
Allow the pigs to balance their own

Fix Drain for Silo

There is considerable difference of
opinion among dairy experts as to
whether a silO should or should not
have a concrete floor and drain.
Thousands Of silos are in use and CIV
ing satisfactory service without a con-
crete floor, while many good dairy
men think that a concrete floor and
drain Is an advantage. If the soil
underneath will. permit liquid to be
absorbed, then a hole in the floor is
all that is needed in the way Of
drain.
