DISCUSSION ON T. B.
TESTING OF CATTLE
Meetings to be Held Several
Places in County,

BY requests of several live
stock owners in Pine County ar
rangements have been made for
a series of meetings to be held
for the purpose Of discussing T,
b. testing of cattle. They will
be held next week at the follow
ing places:
Willow River. Tuesday, Febru.
airy 10.
Sandstone, Wednesday. Febru-
airy IL, at the school house.
Hinckley, Thursday, February
IL. at the Royal Neighbor's hall,
Pine City, Friday, February Is,
at the town hall.
These meetings will be atten.
ded by w. A. Peck. livestock com.
missioner from South st. Paul
He will discuss the work Of T. B.
eradication in other counties and
other states and the need Of such
work. We believe that this is
a very interesting subject and
that everyone should avail them
selves Of the opportunity to hear
Mr.. Peck discuss this subject. II
is amazing to see the reports in
our papers locally as well as state
papers announcing the toll that
the White Plague is taking among
our people. The origin of this di.
sease has often been traced to the
tuberculosis in cattle. DIR. Hen
derson of the Mayo Hospital al
Rochester states that sixty-ivt
per cent Of their bone cases D
tuberculosis are Of bovine origin
A statement by an eminent doc
tor of this kind surely should b,
enough to make every one sit uT
and take notice and at least make
it a point to attend these meet
ings to get more light on thi,
subject. These meetings will
start at 1:30 sharp at the above
named places.

COUNTY AGENTS
REPORT FOR 1924

During the past twelve months
the extension program has been
carried into twenty-seven differ
ent communities in the county.
According to the best available
data we have there is still three
communities where extension
work should be carried on but due
10 the inactivity of settlers living
in these communities it has been
impossible for the extension Of
flee to bring to these people any
of the extension activities. How
ever. this does not mean that
these three communities have
not received any service because
our data shows that every COM
munity in the county has re-
ceived through this extension
office service in the line of land
clearing work. However, the
three missing communities have
not actively ce-operated so that
extension work could not be car
ried on profitably in these COM
munities. The total number of
farm visits made by the county
agent during the past year is
four hundred and fifty-two (452).
Visiting two hundred and sixteen
different farms. The total num-
Der of office calls relating TO ex-
tension work made in person is
one thousand three hundred and
thirty-nine. The records show
that the agent spent two hundred
and seventy-two days in the field
and sixty-eight days in the office
during the entire twelve months.
During the days spent in the field
twelve carloads of lime have been
pooled and distributed. A total
of one hundred and sixty-one
thousand three hundred (161..
3O0) pounds of war explosive has
also been pooled and distributed.
We end through data available
that approximately three thou
sand acres have been cleared
from the war explosive distribu-

YOUNG ASKOV GIRL
DIES OF DIABETES

Miss Alma Nielsen, 16 year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Niels
Thomson Nielsen, living A
miles northeast of Askov, died
suddenly Monday night from di-
abetes. She had not been feeling
well the past week but was up
and about. thinking that perhaps
it was a cold, but Monday fore.
noon her mother advised her to
go to bed, which she did. She
grew weaker and weaker quite
rapidly and shortly after dinner
sank into a coma from which she
did not recover, the final sum-
mons coming at II p. m. the same
day.
Last August she was taken to
a Minneapolis hospital for treat
ment against diabetes. remaining
there seven weeks. Upon her re-
turn home she was much inn
proved and apparently well, but
the disease nevertheless lurked
in her system and broke out sud-
denly. ebbing away all vitality.
Alma Ottomine Nielsen was
born in Cedar county. Nebraska,
on June q. 1908. She came to
Askov with her parents from
Dixon county, Nebr, to which
place they had later moved. in
March, 1924. settling on farm
northeast of town. She leaves
the parents and five sisters and
four brothers to mourn her early
demise.
Funeral services will be held
from the local Danish Lutheran
church tomorrow friday after
noon at 2 o'clock. Rev. S. ID. Rod
holm conducting the services.
Sympathy is extended to the
bereayed ones in the loss of their
girl who was called to leave the
earthly cares so early in life.

There are many Of the So

should be held whether or not
the plan receives official endorse

Mr.. Coolidge has frowned upon
a formal inaugural ball. Ingen-

Alfalfa and Clover Are

That alfalfa or clover hay fed with
corn % dairy heifers produces good
growth and favors, early maturity, was
shown by recent feeding tests at the
Ohio experiment station. In the tests,
continued through two winters, alfalfa
hay and corn were fed to one lot Of
Holstein and Jersey heifers and clover
hay and corn to a similar Lot.
Without other feed both lots made
more than average normal growth. Al
falfa hay did not prove greatly superior
to clover hay for growth when fed
literally with corn, but It did prove
superior to clover hay for fattenfng. or
gain In weight. The tests showed that
either alfalfa or clover fed with corn
furnishes sufficient protein and other
essential materials to produce excellent
growth.

Peruuians Leaders in
Highluay Construction

The earliest American highways
were constructed by the Peruvians.
The Incas constructed highway be-
tween Quito and Cuzco % feet wide
In places this road was paved with
large stones. often 10 feet square
Trees were planted on each side Of
the roadway, and, wherever necessary,
retaining walls Of stone were made.
Several Of the other early American
peoples in South and Central America
built similar roads. A proclamation
issued by the government Of New
York In 1884 showed how our early
roads were made. It stated: 1.-THE
highways are to be cleared as follows,
VIZ: The way to be made clear Of
standing and lying trees, at least 10
feet broad; all stumps and shrubs to
be cut close to the ground. The trees
to be marked yearly on both sides;
sufficient bridges to be made and kept
over all marshy, swampy and difficult
dirty places, and whatever else shall
be thought more necessary about the
highways aforesaid"
