To Cast Ballots
By November z

November 2 will be the last day on
which voters who will be absent
from the county on November 6. will
be permitted 10 cast their ballot at
the office Of the county clerk, H. D.
Seago announced Tuesday.

Seago said. "The law provides that
all persons who will not be in the
county on election day and who de-
sire to vote. must vote at the county
clerks office at least three days
prior to the general election. Ballots
will be provided up to and including
November ,, and after that date alb
sentee voters cannot be provided
with ballots"
Arrangements have been made
whereby there is no delay in voting.
AS soon as the applicant satisfies
the county clerk that he or she is en-
titled TO a ballot, the ballot is pro-
vided and after it is marked is sealed
in an envelope bearing the number
of the voting precinct in which the
absentee voter resides. The county
clerk deposits these ballots IN such
precincts on election day.

OLMITO POTATO

CROP HARD HIT

BY CHESS RAGE

OLMITO, Oct. 3O.-If the potato
acreage in and around Olmito Is
smaller this year than usual il can
be blamed on chess.
For the population Of this sec
ton has taken up the game, and
almost everything else. including
bridge and potato growing, has
been forgotten.
The leader in the revival Of
chess in the Olmito section is Jack
Mickle, postmaster and proprietor
of the Olmito store.
Farmers come in every day for
their round Of chess. They stay
so long at times that potato plant
ing is forgotten, and the games
often do rot break up until a late
hour. Interest in n close match at
times will attract dozens of per-
sons who sit patiently while the
principals move the men.
Plans for a chess tournament in
Olmito. 70 be conducted on either
the rou1l robin, or elimination
process, are being discussed by
the potato growers and others in
this section.
Dee Daley, who brought the
game down he's from Chicago, or
some other sucn place, is gener-
ally conceded to have ar edge on
the other OlmIto chess players,
but the novices at the game are
beginning 10 show skill, and are
preparing TO concentrate on him
during the tournament.

suggestions Of his advisers to discuss
IN rather complete detail the man

Tor farm aid will work out and elab-
crate upon the various quotations in
that formula.
In his acceptance speech, the re-

Laying Hens Now
on a Night Shift
Artificial Lights Deceive
Pullets Into Increased
Egg Production.

The hens that lay New York's
breakfast eggs are about to go on the
night shift again.
The recently introduced practice of
increasing egg production by length
ening the short autumn and winter
days with artificial light in the hen
houses has proved so successful that
it is expected to become almost uni
versal this year among the thousands
of suburban poultrymen in New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and on Long island.
Hens Respond ProfitabIy.
Proof that the hens respond profit
ably to the system of frightening the
winter days by electricity has been
produced by Leslie M. Black, poultry
expert of the New Jersey Agricultural
college, who publishes the results of
tests in the Farm Journal.
Black has tested 166 flocks of pull
let's over q six-month period. OF these,
As flocks were tested without the aid
of lighting and were found to average
72.9 eggs per hen. The others, tested
under three different lighting systems,
all ran profitably ahead of that figure.
Three Lighting Plans Used.
The three methods used to convince
the hens that winter days are as long
as summer ones, and so keep produc-
ton artiicially stimulated when prices
are high, are these:
First-The evening lunch system,
when the houses are lighted for an
hour at night, between eight and nine,
or nine and ten. Second-The morn
ing lights plan, when the houses are
lighted before dawn. Third-The use
of lights both morning and night so
that the length of the day is made to
equal absolutely that of the night.
"This last system seems to give the
best results of the three" the Farm
Journals expert reports. 1t produced
1917 more eggs per pullet than when
no lights were used, 6.5 more eggs
than under the evening lunch plan,
and 1.3 more than the morning light
ing system.

Ewes Need Extra Good
Care at Landing Time

The success of the sheep flock de-
ponds largely on the management.
Good feed and care materially infu-
ence the subsequent lamb crop. Preg-
nant ewes should be separated from
the main flock and carried along in
good thrifty condition until lambing
time. They may be fed such succulent
feeds as roots and ensilage, the latter
in limited quantity, together with some
alfalfa hay, for the purpose of stimu-
lating milk production. Good water
is essential during the pregnant period.
Potassium iodide should be given in
the drinking water twice a month or
in the salt kept before the ewes at all
times. Ewes in good, thrifty condi-
ton are more likely to give birth to
strong vigorous lambs.

Part Played BY Table
in UDIiff of Mankind

There was time when not table
existed in the whole wide world. But
one day primitive man, weary of
sprawling on the ground, rose and ate
his first meal from a broad hewn slab
laid on powders, and from that day
his upward climb to civilization began
Today we do not stop to think low
much we depend upon tables, but what
a dull and inconyenient place a house
would be without them. Not only are
they at our elbow everywhere to keep
things within reach, but how they de-
light the eye-their lovely designs and
beautiful woods.
They minister to our comforts, and
please our senses with their grace and
charm. Each year they increase in
variety and cleverness, and each year,
because of them, our homes grow more
attractive.

Barley Produces a High
Percentage of Nutrients

Barley should be more widely used
as stock feed, not only on account Of
its high yield per acre but also be-
cause of it's nutritive value, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The only feed crop that can be
compared readily with barley in farm
economy is oats. Barley produces
more pounds to the acre than oats
and has higher percentage of digest
ible nutrients. Success in feeding bar
ley depends somewhat upon how it is
fed. Barley fed whole is too coarse
for best results, and if fed too finely
ground is pasty and unpalatable. The
best way of preparing it for live stock
is to have it coarse ground or rolled.

common. in the West.

If good results are to be expected
with the 1923 lamb crop, the bred

weather management.
Wherever cholera occurs 1t must be
presumed that the disease has been
carried TO the hogs in question De-
cause there is no other way for it to
reach the herd
Four or five weeks before Landing
each eve should have one-half pound
daily by weight of the following grain
mixture: Corn, six parts; oats or
bran, three parts. and linseed oil meal,
one part. After lambing, the ration
should be doubled
Corn belt farmers are confronted
with the problem of utilizing the
rOughage produced on the farms as
well as the corn produced. There is
no more economical and desirable
method of doing this than establishing
herd of breeding cows On the farm.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-11-09
Clean Ground

There is another side to the clean
ground proposition. In order to avoid
disease, farmers are putting hogs out
on pasture and are thereby in some
cases giving their pigs better bal
anced and a better growing ration
than they have had before. Forage
crops of various kinds are being sub.
stituted for the sort of blue grass
pasture that dries up and is of 40
particular benefit to the pigs in late
summer.
