CAN PREVENT FRENCH
WEED faint IN MILK

French weed faint in milk and 9TH
er dairy products may be prevented
by feeding the feed containing
French weed right after milking, so
that IL hours time will elapse be-
tween the eating of the French weed
by the cows and the next milking.
This fact, which is of great import
ance to Minnesota dairymen, has
been brought out in experiments car
ried on by dairy scientists at Univer-
sity Farm.
The experiments show that the OBJ
jectionable taste and odor in the milk
may result from the cows eating
either the seeds or the green plants
of French weed. However, the ex-
IRENE dislike which most cows have
for the green plants suggests that
the only danger from this source is
during a shortage of other green for
age, such as might occur in late fall
or early spring. The most common
way in which cows get hold of French
weed is by eating the seed in COM
mercial grain screenings.
1t was found that the faint due to
the feeding Of screenings containing
French weed seed was most notice
able when the milk was drawn three
hours after feeding, but had entirely
disappeared after IL hours. The
dairy scientists suggest that farmers
suspecting their feed of containing
French weed seed may make sure by
moistening a small quantity Of the
feed with warm water. If enough
French weed seed to faint milk is
present a dictinct odor af garlic may
be noticed and also an irritating
effect upon the eyes.
When French weed odor was pre-
sent in milk, it was found to be even
more pronounced in the cream and
butter than in the milk itself. Or
binary methods used for removing OBJ
jectionable favors and odors from
milk were not found to be very effec-
tive in taking out the French weed

THE AMERICAN CROW,
NOT WHOLLY GOOD,
OR WHOLLY BAD

Farmers vote the crow more injuri-
Gus than beneficial.
Is the crow wholly bad or entirely
good?
1t is probably neither.
Ornithologists claim that stomach
examinations prove the food habits
of the crow more beneficial than
otherwise. Many sportsmen and
farmers report evidence to the con-
trary.
An important contribution to the
evidence on the question has been
furnished the American Game Pro-
tective association press service by a
survey made by the Farm Journal.
This survey was made in the form OF
a QUESTIONABLE addressed to farmers.
Of the 9,731 replies received:
1929 were against the crow.
1901 were in favor of the crow.
101 were neutral.
Reports were received from every
state in the Union, from Canada,
Portugal and the Philippine Islands.
Instances of damage reported in
cluded:
Injury to crops-pulling up sprout-
ing corn; destroying corn in the milk
stage; destroying corn, oat and wheat
in shocks; destroying apples and
cherries on the tree; injury to let
tuce fields, watermelons, muckmel
ons, peanuts and seed potatoes.
Injury to domestic animals-eyes
pecked from young lambs, pigs and
calves; killing young rabbits.
Injury to poultry-eggs and young
of chickens, turkeys and guineas de-
stroyed.
Injury to wild birds-eggs and
young of song, insectivorous and
game birds destroyed.
Instances of good done included:
Stomachs of crows found to con-
tain cutworms, grasshoppers, May
beetles, white grubs, wire worms,
gypsy moths, potato beetles and
meadow mice.
Observed to drive away hawks.
Served as scavengers.
Analysis of the reports led to the
following conclusions:
/. The crow, wherever found in
large numbers, is injurious to farm
ers from March to December.
2. Wherever crows are numerous
they should be reduced in numbers
and this should be done under and
with the active cooperation of the
state or national agricultural author
tiles. The crow need not be exter-
minated.
3. The good crows do by eating in
sects does not compensate for the
damage done by eating eggs and
young of other insectivorous birds.
. A. In acting as scavengers, crows
carry disease; farmers should bury
or burn, at ince, all dead animals

LARGE AMOUNT OF
GRAIN GOING EAST

Evidence of fair to medium small
grain crops in North and South Da-
kota has been passing through Sleepy
Eye daily, since the harvest in those
states began several weeks ago. AS
many as 800 freight cars loaded with
wheat and other cereals, have been
hauled by the Chicago & North
western railway over this division,
every "a hours.
Compared with the record move
ment of grain to Eastern markets in
1928, when the daily average was
between 400 and 600 carloads, the
1880 showing substantiates reports to
the effect that small grain crops in
neighboring states to the west were
greatly reduced by the continued
drouth.
The peak was reached two years
ago, when more than 700 carloads of
grain were shipped every "a hours.
The average crop movement from the
Dakotas last year, over this division,
was 800 carloads daily, during the
heavy shipment season.
A total of over 1000 freight cars
passed through this section from
August l and September IL, each
with an average weight of $1,000.
The greater portion of grain, ship
ped through this city, this year, has
been consigned to Minneapolis and

FIREARMS CAUSE 81
ACCIDENTAL DEATHS 1929

Fifty-four persons were killed IN
Minnesota in 1929 by accidents with
fire arms.
A few of these deaths were the re-
suit of leaving loaded guns where
children could get at them. But the
large majority occurred among hunt
ers in Minnesota's woods and lakes.
They might easily have been avoided
if few simple rules for handling
fire arms and few simple measures
of first aid had been universally OBJ
served.
The following are standard safety
rules for handling hunting weapons
with which every hunter should be
perfectly familiar.
If you are hunting in a party
know the exact location of your COM
panions and keep abreast of them.
Never in any circumstances shoot in
the direction of other members.
Break" or unload your gun or
place it on safety when you are
climbing walls and fences. Never
lean your gun against tree or wall
or lay it on the ground unless it is
unloaded or on safety.
Carry the gun, when you are hunt
ing, so that it points toward the
ground few feet ahead of you.
Always observe the rules of the
Old West-never hand loaded gun
to anyone, and keep your hands off
others fire arms.
A wise Minnesota law requires
that shot guns or other hunting
weapons must be knocked down when
they are carried in automobiles or
any vehicle.
A first aid kit, including sterilized
dressings and bandages and a small
bottle of iodine, should be in every
hunters outfit. Above all penetrating
powder wounds should never be neg
lected. Such wounds carry grave
danger of tetanus and the immediate
administration of the anti-tetanus
serum used to protect American
soldiers in the world war is strongly
advised by these medical experts.
The dangers that go hand in hand
with drinking polluted water may be
very largely offest by drop of
iodine in each pint of water where
yer there is the slightest question OF
the purity of water supplies.
Remember, the bulletin concludes,
you are going a long way from the
projections of civilization and you
are dealing with death dealing weap-
ons, too. Be sure that the next seri-
Gus hunting accident does not happen
to you.
Accidental discharge of loaded
shotguns were responsible for two
deaths in Redwood county last year.

Salts Fine for
Aching Kidneys
When Back Hurts Flush Your
Kidneys as You Clean
Your Bowels

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, sometimes get slug
gish and clogged and need a flushing
occasionally, else we have backache
and dull misery in the kidney region,
severe headaches, rheumatic twinges,
torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless-
ness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region begin drinking lots of water.
Also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is intended to
flush clogged kidneys and help stimu-
late them to activity. 1t also helps
neutralize the. acids in the urine so
they no longer irritate, thus helping
to relieve bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia water
drink which everybody should take
now and then to help keep their kid
neys clean.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in trying to correct kidney
trouble while it is only trouble.

circumstances goes without saying.
He couldn't be near the "L"; he

; HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS

If doughnuts crack in cooking, try
little less baking powder in the
recipe.
Use paper napkins instead of
cheesecloth TO strain fat that has been
used for frying; it saves laundry.
Light-colored walls and woodwork
help to make dark rooms light and
they also make rooms appear larger.
Take the children shopping occa-
sionally and give them some of the
responsibility of selecting their own
clothes.
To foster love for reading in chill
dren, comfortable chairs of suitable
size and correctly placed reading
lights are great helps.
Furniture placed parallel or at right
angles to the walls gives the room a
more restful appearance than when
rugs or furniture are on diagonal
lines.

Children at the Table
sttss

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
In some homes il is the custom for
the children to come to all the regular
family meals, no matter how young they
are. In others, children are given their
meals at their own little table. either
before the family eats or at the same
time. The plan adopted must largely
be determined by circumstances, and
it need not be the same for all meals.
Whichever way is easiest for the
mother and best for the children
should be chosen. In homes where
the evening meal must be late or the
noon meal hurried. the children will
he better off if served earlier than the
rest of the family. When children eat
apart from adults there are fewer dis
fractions and usually no questions to
be answered about differences between
their food and that of the grownups.
If questions arise at the family table
let the children know that they do not
eat the same dishes that grownups eat
just as they do not wear the same
Kind Of clothes.
Children are observant, and will imi-
tate what they see adults doing.
Choosiness in foods is often the re-
suit of imitation. Father. mother, big
sister and the rest share alike in their
responsibility to set the example of en-
joying carrots, spinach, or whatever
the menu offers. The fewer the re-
minders to eat and the better the ex-
ample set. the greater the result with
observant children.
The bureau of home economics of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture makes the suggestion that If
the china, glass, and eating tools be-
long to the child personally and are
always set out for him, much will be
added to the interest of the meal
Have the china gay in pattern, and
