PAY FOR THEIR FUN

Jos. B. Franta and Amin Nielsen of
New Ulm were arrested in that city
and taken before Justice Fred
Pfaender on Monday afternoon of
last week on a complaint that they
had been shooting firearms within
the city limits. From the complaint
filed against the young men it ap-
pears that they drove their car down
to the New Ulm Greenhouse and
shot out the arc light.
Justice Pfaender fined the young
men $500 and costs, amounting to
$30.05 in each instance, making the
total fine 5000. This amount in
cludes the cost of the arc light, says
the New Ulm Review.

guarded against as it will overload the

should watch his machine for loose

Beekeeping practices and manage

honey have been studied during the
past year by the bureau Of entomology
and agricultural economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-

A preliminary report of the survey
Of apiary practices IN the inter-moun-

Wyoming, and Idaho-covering the

Forty apiaries were included in the
1928 survey, ranging in size from $50
to 1900 colonies, and covering total
Of more than $4,000 colonies.
The results of this survey, according
to E. L. Sechrist Of the bureau of en-

Titan Queen Worlds
Largest Duroc-Jersey
Interesting Story of Growth
of Colorado Sow.

How the worlds largest SOW,
Titan Queen, registered Duroc-Jersey
owned by the Colorado Agricultural
college, was built up to her present
phenomenal weight of 1923 pounds
in the past eight months is an inter-
esting story as told by r. B. Broad,
chief herdsman for the college, who
has had personal charge OF the task.
The huge sow is also the largest Du-
roc-Jersey hog in the world.
Titan Queen was purchased at the
International Live Stock exposition In
Chicago last December by the Colo
RADIO school with the idea of building
her to a record weight. She weighed
$40 pounds at that time, the same
weight she had registered at the ma
tional swine show in 1927, when she
was the largest Duroc sow shown.
Mr.. Broad began feeding the big sow
on mixture of 60 per cent corn, 20
per cent oats, ~ per cent tankage. 5
per cent alfalfa meal and 21a per cent
linseed meal. Broad believes that the
alfalfa meal which helped to complete
the balancing Of the ration was large
ly responsible for re-starting Titan
Queens growth, after she was brought
to Colorado from Illinois, where she
was raised.
This ration was continued until
March 4, when it was changed to all
the whole corn she could eat. and all
the skim milk she could drink. In
addition she had access to a mixture
of five pounds of tankage, two and one
half pounds Of alfalfa meal, and two
and one half pounds of linseed meal
in a self-feeder until April II, when
she weighed 1925 pounds.
Broad says that no special treat
ment was given the SOW. She meas
ures 9 feet inches from the tip Of
her nose to the tip of her tail; So
inches in circumference around the
heart; 81 inches around the flank; 40
inches in height, and 101A inches
around the smallest part of her hind
leg.

Observation-Disclosures Is
Useful to Control Pest

4 An effective method of controlling
the plum tree borer that is also mex
pensive has been developed by the
zoology-entomology department of the
South Dakota experiment station.
The new remedy is simple and Its
estimated cost is not in excess of 3
cents per tree. according to Prof.
George I. Gilbertson, of the depart
ment. Ordinary paraffin is melted and
paradichlorobenzine. or P. D. B.. is
added at the rate Of one part to nine
parts of paraffin. A thin coat of this
solution-one pint to every four or
five trees-is then brushed on the
trunks and larger branches of the
trees.
When it hardens, the paraffin-P. ID.
B. combination forms protective coat
which does not chip off in summer
temperature and which allows the dis
solved P. D. B. to vaporize slowly and
enter the tissue of the borer and XIII
it. The fumigating action continues
for several days until the larvae OF
the borer are dead.
This method is believed to be the
first practical and effective control
ever produced during two decades OF
research.

Sentimental regard for bull is al
ways misplaced.
Try some of the newest sweet corn.
It may be better than the older type
you've grown.
Meal time with toads often begins
before sunset and continues through
out a greater part Of the night.
Millet can be put into cocks for
curing where there is plenty of labor,
time, and not too large an acreage.
Care should be taken that the sweet
clover is not pastured too closely at
the beginning of the pasturing sea-
son.
Volunteer wheat is one of the great
est sources of Hessian fly infestation
to fall wheat. 1t is the only food
available at the early emergence of
the pest.
The ensilage cutter should be put
in order If there are any extra parts
needed they should be ordered and
fitted to the machine before the day
of silo filling.

developed for conserving straw Is a
baler which takes the straw directly
from the threshing machine and bales

Prevent Horns Growing
on Verv Young Calves

To prevent horns from growing on
young calves secure at drug store
a stick of caustic potash. When the
calf is two or three days old and as
soon as the buttons where the horn
grows can be felt, clip the hair close
to the skin just where the horn Will
grow.
Then wet the end Of the stick OF
caustic potash and rub the button until
1t turns red but not until it bleeds. Do
this with both horns and no horns Will
grow.
Be careful not to use too much Of the
caustic potash. If any of it runs Off
it will burn the hide Also use paper
in your hands so as not to burn your
fingers.

Cooperative marketing of farm
products is one way of increasing the
farmers bargaining ability. Co-opera-

Pastures Are Improved
bv Eradicating Weeds

Where more than one-fourth of the
stand of vegetation in a pasture is
comprised of weeds, it usually indi-
Gates that the land is either over
grazed, prematurely grazed, or a COM
bination of the two. In planning to
improve the pasture. consideration
should be given to correcting the
causes responsible for the weedy
growth. On smooth pastures, most
weeds may be successfully eradicated
by moving. If such method Is used,
the weeds should be cut about the
time they are in flower-before any
seed Is matured.
