NelU Trial Refused
Appeal To Be Taken

Efforts to obtain a new trial for
edward F. Berkner, wellknown Sleepy
I'VE land dealer, found guilty of grand
arceny and sentenced from one to-
en- years in the state penitentiary
It Saltwater last June, failed Friday,
When District Judge E. A. Montgom-
ry at Minneapolis, handed down an
rider overruling Berkner's contention
hat the verdict of guilty was not in

Montgomery granted an additional so
lay stay of execution to allow time
Tor an appeal to the supreme court,
which will be taken Mr. Berkner is
now at liberty on bonds in the sum OF
So 800. He was found guilty on June
Il by a jury in Hennepin county, af-
ter celebrating 55 minutes. He was
sentenced that afternoon by Judge E..
A Montgomery and stay of so days
was granted to permit motions to be
filed. The Sleepy Eye man was
bound over to the Hennepin county
district court on charge of grand
larceny in the first degree, following
preliminary hearing before Municipal
Judge Manley L. Fosseen of Mime
apolis.
Einar Hoidale, wellknown Mime
apolis attorney, appeared for the de-
PENDANT, while w. G. Compton, assist
ant county attorney of Hennepin
county, appeared for the state, at the
hearing before Judge Montgomery on
the motion for retrial.
The case arose out of land deal
Mr.. Berkner closed Jan. "a with Miss
Josie Erickson of Albert Lea. 1t is
claimed by him that he sold Miss
Erickson 400 acres of land in North
Dakota, clear of incumbrance for $14
per acre, a total of $4,000. 1t is al
legged she paid for the land by two
checks and a note for 1900. The
checks were returned unpaid from the
bank. Miss Erickson is said to have
stated she could not go through with
the deal unless Berkner could arrange
different terms.
A meeting was held in Minneapo-
lis, Feb. 1, to arrange this. At this
meeting was one Tom Larson, whom,
it is said, Miss Erickson had financed
to the extend of $4,000. 1t is alleged
that Larson had agreed to give her
collateral security for this indebted
ness, but failed to carry out his prom
Use.
At this meeting, according to Berk-
ner's attorney, Larson gave Miss

Erickson $4,000 in cancelled railroad
bonds. The deal for the land was
contaminated by Miss Erickson Civ
ing Berkner check for $1,700 and
mortgage of $4,000 in lieu of the
checks that were not honored. She
is at present in full possession of the
land.
1t is claimed that the two transac-
lions, Larson giving Miss Erickson
the worthless bonds and the Berkner
land deal, became in some way inter-
woven and that the Albert Lea woman
desired to hold Berkner. 1t is said
that promises were made to withdraw
the complaint, if Berkner would pay
Miss Erickson S1,700 but that he
in no way was responsible for the
bonds. Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch

Best Time to Purchase
Different Dairy Feeds

A survey of the various feed mar
kets indicates that wheat bran usually
reaches bottom price in June. July and
August linseed oil meal IN May, June
and July cottonsced meal In August,
September. January and February, and
gluten feed In May, June and July.
BY making out their feed budgets nc
cordlngly and buying what feed they
need At the proper time, dairymen not
only can make m important saving in
feed costs but also will probably feed
a better ration, 1t is pointed out by
c. s. Rhode, dairy extension specialist
Of the college Of agriculture, Unlver-
slty OF Illinois. Illinois dulrymen
should. and do, produce most Of the
feed that is necessary for their COWS,
but I'm most cases It Is advisable TO
balance the homegrown grains with
high protein feeds. It therefore Is 10
the advantage Of the dairymen to
study the feed markets and deter
mine when these feeds a be bought
at the best price, he said.

Practical Suggestions
for Pruning Grapevines

Prof. Joseph Oskamp of the Cornell
College of Agriculture gives the fol
lowing directions for training young
~grapevines:
AT planting time, and the year
after, young ]grapevlnes should be cut
back to two buds and tied 10 stakes
for support The second summer
each vine should send out q cane long
enough to be tied to ihe top wire OF
a trellls. This trellls, IL the Knitiin
system Of training is used, should
have two wires, one ut "A height Of
five feet and the other three sect
from the ground. Number Q or 10
wire is generally used and strung ON
posts set - feet apart.
IN the summer uftrr the third
pruning. canes will develop from the
one tall trunk loft, and uI Of these
should be removed IN the winter
pruning except two at the top wire
and two at the lower wire these four
canes should be tied to lhp wires to
the right and left at right angles TO
the upright trunk, and should be cut
back to four buds each.'

Developing Implements
for Use in the Orchard

II is always a problem to avoid
barking the tree trunks and tearing
the branches when blowing and disk
ing an orchard. This is especially
true when the work Is done with
teams and the ordinary field imple-
ments. To solve this problem. some
of the manufacturers have given Spe-
cial attention to the development of
orchard implements. When these i'm
plements are used with a tractor that
may be Kept under perfect control
when used under trees very little
damage is done.
Special plows for orchard use are
built very low. without levers extend
ing above the frame, with the axle
on the underside Of the beams and
with IA very narrow truck. The en-
tire design is to reduce the barking
of the trees to a minimum and make
II possible to avoid catching limbs In
operation. Both moldboard and disk
plows may be secured for orchard use,
In localities where the soil becomes
extremely hard or in localities where
there is a sticky gumbo type of soil
the disk type Of pillow VIII give better
results than the moldboard type.

Hog Cholera Is
Dangerous Today
For Safety Against This ALL
ment Certain Precautions
Are Needed.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
a recent investigation of the hog
cholera situation by the United States
Department of Agriculture reveals sur
prising carelessness among farmers in
lealing with the disease. The eCfec-
uveness of the preventive-serum treat
ment has given many swine owners a
feeling of security which is not real.
Yet without proper safeguards" de-
clares DIR. U. G. Houck, in charge of
h~og-cholera control, 1.-THE disease Is
just as dangerous today as it ever
was"
For safety against this disease 1t
is necessary to observe certain precau-
tons. Isolate all new stock, keeping
1t apart from other hogs for a period
of at least two weeks. This precau-
ton applies especially to hogs pur-
chased NJ public sales or other sources
likely to spread Infection. Permit no
sick hogs to roam at large. Keep hog
lots properly fenced and maintain the
fences in good repair. Burn or bury
deeply the carcasses of animals that
die on the farm. Dead animals lying
above ground attract dogs. Many
outbreaks have been traced to portions
Of diseased carcasses carried from
place to place by dogs. DO not at
tempt to hide the existence of the dis.
ease, since every hidden center of in
lection Is a ena to surrounding
farms.
The preventlve-serum treatment is a
dependable insurance against hog chol.
era, but this treatment, it should be re.
membered. is a preventive and not a
cure. BY adopting the foregoing safe.
guards swine owners may largely re
duce the loss from hog cholera which

Give the Farm Home
a Distinctive Name
Movement Fostered in Ten
neSSee for Past Four Years.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Name your farm home" is the slo-
gan of "A movement fOstered by home
demonstration agents In Tennessee for
the past four years. More than 5000
homes have already been named, ac-
cording to a report received by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. This year the idea Is again be-
ing stressed, as there are still many
homes which have not registered "A dis
tinctive name either with the extern
sion service or the state department
of agriculture. The state recently
passed IA law permitting such registry.
Farm home owner are urged to give
some thought and trouble to the selec-
ton of the right name. 1t should be
dignifed, suitable, lasting, not too com
mon, easy to say, easy to read, and
easy to remember. 1t should appear
on the mail box or over it, or on "A
signboard, or on the gate. 1t is in
tended that 1t should be used on let
terheads and on the label of anything
sold from the farm.
The naming of the farm home is oft
en the first step in general home i'm
provement. There is an effort to live
up to the spirit which has been en-
bodied In the new name. The indirect
effect of the name can often be seen
in the grading and standardizing Of
