PAINT PRUNING WOUNDS
TO AVOID TREE DAMAGE

Orchardists and tree owners who
prune their trees and neglect to give
the wounds proper treatment are in
wiling trouble, warns Parker o. An
derson, extension forester, University
Farm, st. Paul. The later growth of
the trees is apt to be impaired, he
says, while scars resulting from
pruning may not heal properly and
will offer ready entrance to fungus
Or rot diseases.
Wounds caused by the removal of
limbs should be painted over to aid
nature in the process of recovery, he
says. For wounds less than one-half
inch in diameter, shellac has proven
suitable in preventing drying of the
live tissues beneath the scar. Lang
er wounds should be painted with
shellac and, in addition, should be
covered with some permanent pre-
paration such as tar or good grade
of lead paint.
The right kind of shellac to use can
best be prepared by dissolving gum
lac in alcohol. This has been shown
by government Investigations. Sol
vents other than alcohol should not
be used as they are likely to kill or
burn the live tissue or cambium lay
er. instead of giving the desired pro-
lection.

CALF FEEDING RESULTS
FEEDERS DAY TOPIC

Minnesota cattlemen have been
scanning their newspapers somewhat
anxiously for an announcement of the
annual Minnesota Cattle Feeders
Day, which for several years has been
held at University Farm, St. Paul,
late in April or early in May. Just
to assure these men that their annual
treat will be forthcoming and to whet
their appetites a bit, Prof. w. H.
Peters, chief of the animal husbandry
division, announces that the event
will not take place in June, the exact
date not yet being known. Six lots
of calves, 60 in all, are on feed and
when they are ready for market will
answer some important questions
about feeding can molasses, ground
alfalfa hay and the ground barley
molasses combination. 1t takes long
err to finish calves than to finish the
older cattle used in previous years.

GREAT NUMBER OF RATS
CAUGHT IN MOBILES COUNTY

"An unusually large number OF
muskrats are present in the county
this year as is evidenced by the num-
Der brought in by trappers," states
the Worthington Globe. Since the
season opened March Is, M. Shapiro
& Son, Worthington buyers, estimate
that they have received in the neigh
borhood of thirty-five hundred rats.
The season does not close until April
Is, and Mr.. Shapiro expresses the
opinion that they will have received
close to six thousand rats by that
time.

MADELIA YOUTHS TAKEN FOR
TAMPERING WITH MAIL BOXES

There have been several instances
reported in the vicinity of Madelia of
rural mail boxes being torn from
their posts, or posts being malicious
ly broken.
The offenders probably do not real
ize that this is a serious crime. The
penalty for such offense is a fine or
not more than $1,000 or by imprison-
ment for not more than three years.
Postal inspectors Investigated some
of these complaints and apprehended
two yourg men who had confessed to
tearing two boxes from posts. The
case has been submitted to the fed
eral authorities for action. Times

HIGH SCHOOL BOY
WANDERS 30 HOURS

A Saltwater high school boy, suf-
fering with concussion of the brain,
was found in a dazed condition We'd
nesday after wondering for thirty
hours without food. Attending ply
sicians say he is not in a serious
condition. The boy, who is fifteen
years old, left home Tuesday for
school but failed to arrive there. He
had been struck behind the ear with
rock on Monday while playing in
the school yard and physicians think
the blow caused the conclusion. He
continued to play as though nothing
happened and seemed to be himself
until he started for school Tuesday.
He will recover completely, physi-
clans claim.

MANY TO COMPETE IN
LAMB GROWING CONTEST

Sheepmen are showing a lively in
terest this year in the Minnesota
Lamb Production Contest, according
to w. E. Morris, extension livestock
specialist, University Farm, who is
in charge. Many entries have been
received and others are coming in
steadily. Koochiching county took
an early lead with five entries al
though this mark probably will fall
before the entry list is complete.
Many of the contestants are enter
ing the race for the first time, al
though Everett Wadsworth, Polk
county, who won first place in Class
last year, is again taking part and
it is anticipated that most of the
former contestants will line up again.
Besides the possibility of winning
valuable cash prizes, this contest af-
fords sheep raisers an opportunity to
learn more about the efficient and
economical production of lambs. All
contestants are supplied with bullet
ms and other literature on breeding,
feeding and management of farm
flocks and individual help is given
through visits of the county agents.
Mr.. Morris also plans to call on as
many contestants as possible during
the season to study their methods
and make suggestions.
Any sheep grower in Minnesota
having rs or more ewes may enter.
may be made to county
agents or club leaders or by writing

SAME PATTERN WILL DO
FOR SEVERAL DRESSES

Women who make their own dress
es can save both time and money by
using one pattern for several gowns,
says Miss Lillian r. Tyler, textiles
and clothing specialist of the home
economics division, University Farm,
st. Paul. A pattern which is of plain,
simple lines may be altered to fit the
figure and varied to meet new de-
mands in fashion and line, she ex-
plains.
"Most of us must make some re-
adjustments in pattern to insure a
correctly fitting garment. Having
successfully altered a pattern, why
not keep that for future use, real
tering, of course, for new addition or
loss of weight" Miss Tyler sug-
gests. "A plain dress pattern may
be varied in numerous ways. There
are many alternatives in skirt styles.
Groups or sections of box or inverted
plants may be used in front, on the
sides, or even in the back. Godets
will give slightly fiared appearance.
A circular flare may be added at the
hip line or waist line.
''The blouse may be entirely sepa-
rate from or may be stitched to the
skirt; the bottom of said blouse may
be straight, pointed, rounded, seal
Hoped, panelled, or longer on the side
fronts than it is in the center. Col
lar and cuffs of various shapes and
types, if drafted to fit the neck and
sleeves of the pattern, add individual
ity to even the simplest of garments.
These may be planned by study and
observation of magazine or store
window illustrations or exhibits ~

Bridges Big Item
In Road Building
Investment in 1872 Structures
in Trunk Highway System
Over $1O,OOO,OO0

Bridge building is large item in
modern highway construction, accord
ing to a report made public by c. M.
Babcock, commissioner of highways
Bridges must be both wide and
strong to handle modern traffic.
A survey made by the bridge main
tenance division shows that there are
1872 bridges, costing $4,000, 426, in
the Minnesota trunk highway system.
This includes both bridges built by
the state since the creation of the
trunk highway system in 1921, and
bridges built before that date but
still in use on the trunk routes. The
report show that:
There is a bridge for every 5.3
miles of trunk highway.
The investment in bridges is 81 ,429
per mile of highway.
The average cost per linear foot of
bridge is $106.30.
There are 17.S miles of bridges in
the trunk highway system.
There are COG steel bridges, with
total length Of 54,07S feet; 500 con-
crete bridges with a total length of
22,708 feet; 81 wooden bridges with
a total length of 1926 feet, and 40
railroad overheads with a length of
S,O22 feet.
The oldest bridge in the system is
the covered bridge on T. H. No. So at
Zumbrota. 1t is a wooden structure
with Is foot roadway and clear
span of 116 feet long. Aside from
being too narrow for present day
traffic, it is still in good condition.
There has been no failure of a
bridge built by the state. There
have been only nine bridge failures
since the state took over the main
tenance of the system in 1921, all of
them bridges built long ago. No loss
of life has occurred in any of these
failures. In every case the collapse
was due either to an excessive load
going over the bridge, or to vehicles
striking the bridge supports.
Load restrictions are in force on 26
of the older bridges in the system.
The load limits range from two to
ten tons, including vehicles. Replace
ment of several of these bridges is
already under way, and others will
be replaced from time to time.
There are only five bridges remain
ing in the system with roadways of
less than 16 feet, 76 with 16 foot
roadway, 254 with Is foot roadway,
412 with 20 foot roadway, 1853 with
"a foot roadway, and 402 greater
than "a feet. Marrow bridge"
warning signs are posted by the road
side 300 feet in advance of all
bridges of 16 foot roadway or less.
The report recommends that the
minimum width of roadway be "a feet
in all bridges built in the future, on
state and local roads. This width is
recommended to permit operation of
snow plows, which are coming into
use on greater mileage of roads
each year.
A bridge maintenance engineer en-
ployed by the Highway department
devotes all his time to regular in
spections of bridges and supervising
repairs. On newer bridges of the
permanent type, maintenance is con-
fined to floor repairs and painting of
exposed wood and metal. Old bridges
frequently require extensive repairs
to keep them in service until a per-
manent structure can be built.
