DISTRICT TO BUY GRAVEL !.

sioner.
Maj. Atkins was member of spe-
cial committee appointed by the Com
missioners to study the advisability of
abolishing the stand and gravel wharf
at Ninth and Water streets southwest
and purchasing these supplies from con-
tractors. The committee found that
such a change would effect a saving of

In the distance Of hauling and other
distinct advantages.
The committee also reported that the
gravel obtainable from contractors is
superior to that delivered to the Dis

gravel obtained from the former has
been rewashed.

Many Tomato Varieties

The ground cherry, musk tomato.
strawberry tomato or winter cherry
grows wild in the Mississippi valley
and in other parts of the world and
Is member of the tomato family.
It is known as the blue tomato by
truck gardeners. 1t grows in small
husk which If left on will preserve
the tomato through the winter. Al
though this tiny vegetable, which is
only little larger than a small
cherry, may be eaten raw, 1t is at
its best when preserved. This Is
only one of the fifty-odd varieties of
tomatoes. There are red tomatoes,
white tomatoes, blue tomatoes and
yellow tomatoes of every imagin.
able size and shape. Because of
their shapes, there are tomatoes
that are known as the pear tomato,
the peach tomato, the cherry toma-
to, the plum tomato, the grape t6-
mato and the currant tomato.

Jury Wanted Beer, Got It

Soon after his appointment as
medical director of an asylum, Sir
James Critchton-Brown the British
physician, had to attend an inquest
on q patient who had died Of heart
disease. The evidence was heard,
he relates in his book of reminis-
cences, and the coroner, turning
to the jury, composed mostly Of Ia
borers, said:
snow, gentlemen, are you agreed
on your verdict?''
The jurors talked among them
selves for a few moments and then
the foreman spoke up:
"We find as how the deceased
died from natural causes, but" he
went on, "the jury wish to add
that as this is the first occasion on
which they have met the new med.
ical director, they hope as how he
will stand the jury some beer"
With the coroner's sanction he
did.

Pine Dresser Finally
Got Back to America

There is no telling how much an
antique piece may travel before it
comes to rest in the hands of an
appreciative collector or a museum.
Recently a pine dresser was i'm
ported from England with some
English furniture. The dresser
stuck out like sore thumb among
the English pieces, and the dealer
quickly spotted it. The wood the
hardware, the workmanship, the
style, all proclaimed it American.
A wealthy collector purchased 1t
and then set out to find how the
dresser had ever strayed from the
shores of America. He discovered,
after lengthy correspondence, that
an American family had gone to
England about 1875, taking con-
siderable furniture with them,
among which were several pieces
which had been handed down from
generation to generation, and the
pine dresser was one of those
pieces. Now it has an honored
place in the collection, and may
finally be returned to the descend
ants of the original owners, who
are residing in a Middle Western
city.-From the Antiquarian.

Modern Piano Merely
Copy of Old Dulciner

Even the handsome pianos in our
modern living and music rooms
were not always as we know them
today. The story of the develop
ment of the piano, like that con-
nected with everything else we use,
is a story OF humble beginnings
and continuous Improvements.
The history Of musical instru-
ments shows us that the piano is
very probably a modern develop
ment of an instrument known as
the dulcimer. This was originally
nothing more than a fiat piece Of
wood, on which were fastened two
converging strips of wood, across
which strings were stretched and
tuned to natural scale. Sound
was produced by hitting the strings
with two hammers, one In each
hand of the player.
AS a separate musical instru-
ment the dulcimer has probably
been changed less than any other.
Two pieces of wood have been add
ed to produce sound box for the
body and keys with which to tune
the strings; otherwise 1t Is still in
practically it's original form.
1t is easily seen how the piano
was developed from the dulcimer.
The only difference In the principle
Of the two is the fact that the
piano is larger, and its strings are
struck by keys instead of ham,
mers. The modern piano is really
nothing more or less than keyed
flulcfmer

Trapper Travels Miles,
With Cut Artery to Doctor
Winona Man Lost Three Quarts
of Blood Before He
Reached Physician.

Winona, March 26.-His heart
pumping out blood with every
beat through a severed main art
cry in the back of his head, Stanley
o. Newman of this city, walked
a mile, rowed mile in boat, and
then drove a few miles to obtain
medical attention, following which
he returned to tend to his line of
muskrat traps at his cottage near
the Mississippi river here tonight:
Attending physicians estimated
that Newman lost three quarts of
blood after the artery was sew
cred by an ak he was carrying on
his shoulder. He suffered the in
jury while walking on the ice near
the shore of the Mississippi river
slough near here, and fell through.
The ak he was carrying severed the
artery.
Camping a hand over the wound
in an affort to stem the squirting
blood, he walked to his boat, rowed
across the slough, then continued
his walk, and finally was driven
to the hospital here.

Poultry Improvement

L
Losses caused by disease to
which poultry is subject can be
held to the minimum by adoption
of the new Minnesota sanitation
plan worked out by a committee of
county agents and specialists of
the agricultural extension service
of the University.
The plan if followed will help to
control avian tuberculosis, intestin-
al worms, and coccialioss. With
these foes of the poultry flock
checked, it is reasonable to ex-
pect increased production and pro-
fits. Steps in the plan are:
Using portable brooder houses
for artificial rearing of small
chicks on ground that has not been
contaminated by the old flock.
Fencing the young flock SO that
it will be apart from the old flock
until ready for housing October /.
Five hundred chicks can be kept in
yard of one acre. If the fence
is made chick tight the young
birds cannot run with the old ones
and will be less liable to infection
with the germs of tuberculosis.
This enforced separation will also
aid in checking trouble with worms
and the spread of coccidiosis. The
young flock will not mingle with
hogs that may be infected with
| tuberculosis.
Disposing of all old birds as
they begin to mott, or at least by
October first of each year, to per-
NIT moving the young birds into
poultry houses.
Cleaning and disinfecting poul-
try houses thoroughly before NOV
ing the young stock from the
fenced area to winter quarters.
Remodeling of the poultry house
if necessary, by providing con-
crete floor and allowing floor space
of three square feet for Leghorn
and four square feet for the larg-
err breeds.
Large numbers of small fold
err outing their plan also contain
suggestions for feeding and will be
sent out on request by the Exten-
sion Division or the office of pub
locations at University Farm, St.
Paul.

Agricultural Notes
Farmers Can Easily
Test Own Seed Corn

Test Own Seed Corn
Reports received at University
Farm indicate that Minnesota
farmers have enough good seed
corn to go around. 1t is conceded,
however, that much of the corn
was not cured properly and should
not be planted. Samples received
recently at the seed laboratory at
University Farm were apparently
taken from cribs and many of them
tested but so per cent and even
lower. Oats showed weak germin-
alton under test.
Corn growers can determine the
quality of their seed corn by wrap
ping samples in wet newspaper and
keeping them in fruit jar for a
week, says Ralph F. Grim of the
extension division, University
Farm. The paper containing, say.
80 kernels should be rolled into a
fold and the ends tied with string
or rubber bands. The jar should
be kept in a warm place in the
house. Seeds which have not
sprouted at the end of the week
should be counted. The percent
age of termination can then be de-
termined by multiplying the num-
Der of unsprouted seed by two
and subtracting the product from
100. If five of so kernels failed
to sprout, the termination would
be 80 per cent.
To make certain that the germi-
mating power is satisfactory, pre-
liminary test of two or three ker-
nels from goodly number of ears
taken from different parts of the
storage quarters is advisable. If
this test indicates that the germi-
mating ability is doubtful, an indi-
yidual ear test is necessary.
