BIG GAIN EXPECTED IN
JUNIOR SHOW ENTRIES

approximately 1856 Gopher All
club boys and girls will exhibit their
prize baby beeves, pigs, lambs, and
poultry at the coming Minnesota
Junior Livestock Show at South St.
Paul, November II to IA, accordir,
to preliminary reports received from
county agents and club leaders. This
will be an increase over last year of
nearly 175 entries. All of the ami
mails or fowls shown have been pro-
duced in All market livestock pro-
jects and have won county or district
honors.
The pavilion at the South st. Paul
stockyards, where the show is to be
held has been greatly enlarged since
last fall and with the additional space
thus provided, the committee has
added department for breeding
poultry, taking the place of the ex-
hibit formerly held each year at the
State Poultry Show. Seventy ne
entries have been received for this de-
partment.
Another new feature of this years
show will be showmanship contest
for all exhibitors of baby beeves,
pigs, and lambs. Merits of the an
finals shown will have nothing to do
with the awards in this contest, which
will be based entirely on the skill
shown by the youthful exhibitors in
handling their animals in the ring.
Additional opportunity to win hon.
ors and prizes will also be open to
poultry exhibitors in the form of a
poultry judging contest. This will be
the first such contest to be sponsored
at the junior show, and the winners
will be entitled to compete further at
the National All Club Congress in
Chicago.

DAIRYMEN WILL STUDY
BETTER FEEDING PLANS

Dairymen in dozen or more Min
nesota counties will study improved
feeding practices and learn more
about breeding methods and herd
management by attending dairy feed
ing schools which are to be conducted
by specialists from the agricultural
extension division, University Farm,
ST. Paul, during the next few months.
The meetings will be sponsored by
county extension services farm bur-
eaus and local creameries.
E. A. Hanson and H. R. Searles,
extension dairy specialists will con-
duct these schools in cooperation
with local county agents, each school
consisting of three meetings. Feed
ing will be one of the major problems
to receive attention, and the discus
sions will include the consideration of
common dairy feeds, the balancing of
rations, and the proper amounts to
feed. Calf feeding, common diseases
and problems of herd management
are other topics to be taken up. An
imal breeding, with particular refer
ence to the herd sire, will be dis
cussed, as well as things to look for
in choosing cows for the milking
herd.
Counties which have secured these
dairy feeding schools include Martin,
Faribault, Freedom, Scott, East OF
tertail, Pennington, East Polk, Now
er, Dodge, Olmsted, Winona, Renville,
and Pine. All together, about 40
counties requested schools, but only
about a third of that number can be
accommodated

PLAN OF WORK NEEDED
IN RIGHT NOMINATING

We're homemakers hired for their
jobs instead Of being married to
them, they doubtless would pay more
attention to planning their work and
being efficient, says Miss Mary May
Miller, extension home Management
specialist, University Farm, st. Paul.
There is probably no other vocation
in which it is so easy to drift as in
homemaking, she says, because the
homemaker does not have the incen-
tive of promotion and salary increas-
es for improved service. Neverthe-
less, if she hopes to raise the stand
ard of her home from year to year, it
is very important that she check her
methods and results at frequent in
tervals to avoid waste in the use of
time and energy.
A homemaker's success or failure
at her job is dependent largely on
her use of the "a hours at her dis
posal, and Miss Miller says that a
clear, definite plan of work will place
homemaking on a business basis
through systematized work, standard
lied methods, evaluated tasks, and
improved equipment.
Giving each task a proper proper
ton of the time and energy of the
homemaker systematizes house work.
Experimenting with various methods
of doing the different tasks and
adopting a certain best method for
doing each standardizes work, max
ing it automatic and free of nervous
strain. Another thing that a good
plan of work does is to enable the
homemaker to evaluate the different
tasks she has to do and eliminate
non-essential ones.
Improved equipment plays an i'm
portant part in the success of any
plan of work. The right equipment
that is easy to operate and is kept
in working order will shorten the
time and raise the standard of re-
suits. Through the home manage
ment projects which she conducts in
cooperation with various county ex-
tension services, Miss Miller each
year is teaching hundreds of Minneso-
ia women how to become better
homemakers through the application
of the above principles.

Boyd was again prisoner. However,
she was treated more as a guest on
the Union ship than as a prisoner.
Here romance entered her life when
she made the acquaintance of Lieut..
Samuel Harding who fell in love with
her. Belle reciprocated and after be-
ing sent TO Canada. she made her way
to England. Harding joined her there
and they were married When Har-
ding returned 10 the United States. he
was arrested as deserter and Inn
prisoned for a time.
There is some dispute as to the lat
er life of Harding and his wife. Ac-
him in this country after President
Johnson's amnesty proclamation had
freed him, but for some reason their
happiness together was short-lived
and she divorced him. Another ac-
count says nothing about a divorce
but states that he joined her in Eng
land after he was released and tina
he died there in 1869.
Takes to the Stage
At any rate the next that is heard
of Belle Boyd is her entrance upon
theatrical career and her becoming
the leading lady at the Academy Of
Music in New Orleans. Soon after
wards she married Col. John Swain
sion Hammond, but they soon drifted
apart and were divorced. She married
a third time, her last husband being
Nathaniel r. High, son of a Toledo
clergyman. High accompanied her
upon her tours about the country as
an actress and a lecturer and was
with her when she came to Kilbourn,
Wis, in 1900 to fill a theatrical en-.
gagement-
She fell i'll there and died on June
III. She was buried in the Spring
Grove cemetery there and for some
time her grave was unmarked Final
ly two members OF the Woman's Re-
lief corps in Kilbourn purchased a
board on which was placed the fol-
lowing inscription: Zone Flag, One
Country. Marie Isabel High. Belle
Boyd, Confederate Spy. Born May 0.
1913. Died June IL, 1907 Later a
stone was purchased by w. A. Ever
man of Greenville, Miss, and that is
the stone which now stands at the
head of her grave. Each year at Me-
mortal day members of the G. A. r
and the Woman's Relief corps deco
rate the grave as reyerently as they
do those of their own soldier dead.
But If present plans are carried out
that labor of love will no longer be
necessary. For Belle Boyd is going
home-back to her beloved Valley Of
the Shenandoah. And in the future
her own people of the South will care
for her grave and over it one day in
each year will droop the Stars and
Bars. which she served so well so
many years ago.
