Pullets' Winter Home
Should Be Made Ready

With October 1st the official
time for putting the pullets into
their winter quarters there should
be no delay in getting the houses
ready, of course. But the houses
should also be checked over care
fully to make sure that faults no
ticed the former years are over
come this year. Many houses are
too high. This fault can be cor
rected by means of a straw loft at
a very slight expense. Perhaps the
house is damp. If so, the ventila-
ton system is inadequate, or per-
haps the floor needs attention.
Certain definite rules are given
by Cora E. Cooke, poultry special
ist of the Agricultural Extension
Service, University Of Minnesota
Do not crowd. ALLOW three
square feet Of ioer space per bird
for the light breeds and four
square feet per birG for the dual
purpose breeds. Sell any surplus
birds and give the rest a chance.
Be sure the floor is higher than
tie ground level. Fill in with
gravel.
The average height should be
about six feet, or only high enough
TO provide comfort for the operat-

Dairymen Should Plan

Good shelter and the right kind of
feed spell comfort for the dairy
herd and prevent the cream checks

Law to Make Delin-
quent Land Pay Taxes
Fred d. Vibert of Carlton Makes
Reply to Anxious Inquiries
by Many People.

Minnesota's reforestation laws
passed during the last Legislative
session and the program now being
mapped out by the interim forest
ry commission will bring back tax
delinquent and cutover lands on
the tax lists and protect settlers in
sparsely occupied areas, they are
assured by Fred D. Vibert, former
state senator and executive direct
or of the Minnesota Arrowhead as
ISOLATION. Mr.. Vibert conducted
the statewide campaign for the
passage of Amendment No. 2 last
year and recently directed the
tour of the commission through
out northern Minnesota.
Many settlers in the state have
been reported uneasy about de-
linquent taxes since the passage
of the reforestation laws, scores
of inquiries coming into the ex-
ecutive offices in st. Paul.
Much Land Delinquent.
In his statement Mr.. Vibert
points out that there were 3,700,
600 acres delinquent last year,
with total back taxes of $28, 900,
600. This amount is increasing
about 10 per cent each year.
Mr.. Vibert quotes Prof. II. H.
Chapman of Yale, forest taxation
economist, who has just completed
years survey of Minnesota for
the government, as follows:
"Instead of taking any taxes
away from the settlers, this law
will go far towards putting lands
which are not paying taxes back
onto the tax lists. The law states
that the tax rate which mast be
paid on this land cannot be lower
than 80 mills, nor the value of
land listed lower than So per acre
The county commissioners must
determine the value of the land
and thus the county and the set
tiers will be thoroughly protected.
No land can be listed under the

law unless all back taxes are paid
up in full.
Not to Escape Taxes
tThere has never been any in
tention on the part of those desir-
ing this lay that lands should es-
cape taxation or that the burden
of the settlers should be increased.
This the settlers have not under
stood, nor have they realized that
unless these tax delinquent, cut
over lands are brought back onto
the tax lists the settlers will actu-
ally have to pay most of the taxes.
Thus what they fear will not occur
because of this forest tax law, but
is almost certain to occur unless
this law is taken advantage of.
presume you know that already
Is per cent of all the land in st.
Louis county is on the delinquent
list and is paying no taxes. If we
can get the owners of such lands
to agree to pay 80 mills under the
forestry program, it is not hard to
see how the towns would be much
better off than if they got no
taxes whatever from these lands,
as is now the case"

Agricultural Notes
October Is Time to Rid
Fields of Pocket Gophers

October IL Time to Rid
Fields of Pocket Cophers
Pocket gophers, pests of alfalfa
fields, Clave life habits that tend to
lull the farmers into allowing them
more security than they deserve.
They seem to "play 'possum" ac-
cording to "A. u. Oman, leader in
the rodent-control efforts in Kan
sas by the Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
In spring and summer when the
alfalfa grower is in his fields cut
ting his hay crop he finds few new
evidences of the multiplication of
locket gophers in the form of new
racunds of loose earth thrown up
from the tunna s hey dig. 1t is
rot until late In September or un-
til October that the mounds null
tiply. All during spring and sum-
rner the pocket gophers are rear
ing their young and working from
the old tunnels, clipping and eat
ing the top roots and laterals of the
alfalfa and causing sca.lty nour-
ishment or death to the plants.
The animals are out of sight but
they arc not really "plsy.ng pos
sum-" Each Lair of old pocket go
phers is raising four or five young
srers that are intense individualists
and that in fall will strike out for
themselves, dig their own burrows,
MIKE the fe' Il bum ,y and difficult
for the hay makers, and prepare
for more multiplication the next
skring.
The practical procedure for rid
ding the fields of pocket gophers
is to let them make fair starr
with their new burrows in the fall
and then put out poisoned wheat
in a systematic manner so that all
may have their fill. In the autumn
fields the new burrows can be
located easily and effectively, and
this is the season when the pocket
gophers are laying in their winter
hoard of food.

make profit. She will not hold
up in milk like in May or June
because she is uncomfortable.
Housing fattening animals and
dairy cows is quite a different
proposition. The fat animal is
well protected from the cold and
does not mind it. The cow in
milk is not protected by layer of
fat. She is giving off fat in place
of putting it on. "A barbed wire
fence is mighty poor shelter for a
dairy COW either day or night dur
ing the winter"
The profitable pig is one that
grows continuously from farrow-
ing to market.
Rats are on the decrease in the
United States. However, this de-
crease is only just becoming ap-
parent and farmers and others
who are troubled with the pest
should not let upon preventative
measures.
The best method of feeding salt
to dairy cows is to mix 1 to 2
pounds of salt per 100 pounds of
grain, or from 20 to 40 pounds of
salt per ton of grain. In addition,
have salt available so that The
cows can get more if they desire.
The nighthawk, formerly only
shot for sport, is really one
of the most useful of birds, and
an insect catcher of great value.
These birds scoop their prey out
of the air on the wing. Biological
Survey experts have examined
stomachs of nighthawks and have
found more than so different
kinds of insects, representing
thousands of individuals, in a sin
gle stomach.
The longer broody hen is al
lowed to sit on the nest the longer
it requires to get her back into
laying condition, and consequently
the greater the loss in egg pro-
duction. To break the hen from
sitting put her in a broody coop
where she can be properly fed and
watered. The broody coop should
have a Stat bottom in order that
the air may circulate from beneath
thus keeping the body of the hen
cooler, thereby tending to break
up the hens brooiiness.
Forests reduce erosion. Any
vegetable cover tends to reduce
erosion, but forests usually per
form this function more effective
ly and permanently than any other
type of vegetation. This is because
of the thick mulch of leaf litter
and branches which they drop up
on the ground. Furthermore, they
are constantly feeding humus into
the soil itself, increasing its por-
osity and binding its mineral con-
stituents.
, The total number of cattle in
herds fully accredited as free
from tuberculosis exceeds 1885,
900. The work of tuberculosis era
dication is going forward system
atically in all States. During the
last month of the fiscal year the
inspectors engaged in tuberculin
testing applied the test to more
than 100000 cattle, of which APP
proximately $4,000 were found to
be affected with the disease. The
removal of such reactors from con-
tact with healthy cattle, followed
by the slaughter of diseased ami
mails under Federal inspection, is
gradually reducing the extent of
bovine tuberculosis throughout the
country and benefiting both the
livestock industry and publ C
health.

the amount and kind of feed to
give her. Cows producing 10000
pounds or more of milk will need
considerable amount of both
grain and roughage during the dry
period. Cut down on the roughage
considerably a week or ten days
before calving as too much bulk
may add to the discomfort of the
animal. At this time feed a laxa-
tive grain ration. High producing
cows, when dry, should have plenty
of good legume hay or pasture,
which is rich in protein and lime,
and the grain ration should con-
tain considerable quantities of
bran and hnseed-oil meal, which
are rich in phosphorus.
One way to improve herd of
hogs is to use a purebred sire with
grade sows. "But why" asks E. 2.
Russell, swine specialist of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
"spend from z to 10 years of val
liable time in breeding up, when
a start can be made with the best
there is? Hogs multiply so rapidly
that if only one purebred sow
were purchased as a start, a good
sized herd could be produced in a
very short time. If one will take
one good sow and keep her and
save her sow pigs, breeding them
regularly, he can produce more
than 300 hogs in 3 years"

LycEuM NUMBER TUESDAY

A big moment in American history
the making of the first American
flag will b. visualized by three charm
ing young ladies, members of the
Betsy Ross Trio who are scheduled
to appear on the evening of Feb. 8,
at Hanford in their program of cost
'71nsd, musical and dramatic numbers
in the near future.
The story of the making of the
irst flag by Betsy Ross is charmingly
enacted by Miss Ivu Carlson and is
done in appropriate costume. 1t is
however but one Of the many features
OF this unusual and brilliant program.
The Old South will be visualized in
a series of musical stage pictures in
the opening part of the program. Then
will follow "The Immigrants" includ-
ing dialect readings, child songs, and
solo and ensemble instrumental groups
featuring violin, piano, steel guitar and
ukelele. A group Of charming costurned
songs will be given by Rose Gorharn,
soprano, and violin numbers by the
third member of the organization, Miss
Josephine Farmer.
The third part of the program is
called ain a French Salon" featuring
group of French songs in special
costume by Miss Gorham and special
violin numbers by Miss Farmer.
An evening with Betsy Ross Trio
is one of musical enchantment. The
costumed songs, instrumental num-
bers, quain. folk. dances, make up a
very delightful evening. The program
is original, unique and exceedingly
fascinating.
Miss Gorham, director of the trio,
is an experienced vocalist and a
aesthetic dancer of considerable at
tainment. Miss Farmer, the violinist,
is a student of L. E. Hersey, who
was the teacher of Cecil Burleigh.
She has done extensive concert work
in the western states. The Blooming
ton Ill.) Bulletin recently had the
following to say concerning her violin
work; Miss Farmer is young vi
olinist whose career is being watched
with interest. She plays with poise,
technical skill and with tone OF
notable quality which takes the aud
