color, about 2h inches in diam
,eter, and borne in good-sized clus-
ters. The variety Is hardly out
doors and early enough to be likely
to bloom before hard frosts making
it worth trying in the perennial
garden.
Fawn, Minnesota No. 29-1, re-
sembles North Star in plant size
and growth, but blooms have two
rows Of ray flowers, and the color,
judged by Ridgway's chart, is pale
vinaceous fawn, being somewhat
darker when grown under cpol con-
ditions. 1t blooms midseabon, its
delicate color combining well with
other flowers.
Snowflake, Minnesota No. 101, has
a fairly stocky plant about the same
height as the two described above.
Flowers are full double, somewhat
larger and purer white than Chica-
go Pearl. It blooms midseason, the
clusters being fairly large and COM
pact, but with stems stiff enough to
carry them well.
Florists applying before March
Is may obtain from 25 to so plants
if the demand does not outrun the
supply. Otherwise the available
plants will be divided among appli-
cants on pro-rata basis. A small
Ter number Of plants will be avail
able to home gardeners who apply,
though North Star is the only one
recommended for amateurs.

BEEF CATTLE PROMISE
GOOD RETURNS IN 1896

Favorable prices for beef cattle
during 1896 appear almost certain,
owing to reduced numbers of beef
cattle, the short supply of meat in
the country, and prospects of in
creased payrolls for industry. These
are points stressed by J. B. McNulty
,entension agricultural economist,
University Farm, st. Paul, who has
aided in preparing the 1886 Agri-
cultural Outlook report for Mime
sofa.
Beef cattle numbers in the United
States were reduced much more
than dairy cattle numbers as re-
suit of the 1884 drouth and are now
about the same as for 1929 and 1890,
says Mr.. McNulty. While beef cat
tie likely will increase substantially
by 1889, not enough increase can
take place in 1886 to affect the do
mestic beef supply materially. I'M
ports of cattle and beef next year
are not likely to be large enough to
affect significantly the total supply
or price of beef.
prices for granted cattle are
likely to decline somewhat after
the first quarter of 1885," Mr. Nc
Nulty says, because of increased
supplies, but prices of low grade
cattle may average as high in 1886
as in 1885, because Of the short sup
ply of all meat.
"Over a period of years, condi-
tions on the larger farms in the sur
plus feed sections Of Minnesota are
favorable to an expansion Of beef
production as rapidly as large sup
plies of alfalfa hay and other rough
ages, and Of sweet clover and other
pasture become available at low
cost. However, persons who buy
breeding herds at present prices
may find that when they have cat
tie ready for market, the total
meat supply of the country will be
decidedly larger than at present"

Laws Long Outgrown

Many strange and useless state
laws are still in force. For in
stance, Virginia has one designat-
ing any citizen who misses church
three Sundays In a row Is "a public
enemy" and as such may be put
to death. In North Carolina 1t Is
illegal for anyone at a religious
service to sing out of tune and he
may be fined for this offense. Min
nesota has a statute which requires
the driver of a motor car to stop
II a person driving or leading a
horse on the highway raises his
hand as a signal II the horse is
skittish about cars. In Michigan,
no husband may legally kiss his
wife nor a wife her husband on
the Sabbath day. In West Vir-
ginia it Is still a misdemeanor for
anyone to sneeze in a church serv-
ice. Maine once had a law max
ing 1t an offense to whistle on Sun
day. In Arkansas 1t Is unlawful
to play cards or fly kites on the
Sabbath.-Capper's Weekly.

JUDGING CONTESTS FOR
FARM AND HOME WEEK

Several judging events in which
farm folks, both men and women,
may test their skill and pick up
new pointers from University Farm
staff members, are planned for
Farm and Home Week, January 6
to IL.
Two contests will be sponsored
by the dairy division. DR.. S. T.
Coulter will conduct a contest in
the judging of cheese, butter and
other dairy products. N. N. Allen
and E. A. Hanson will have charge
of contest in dairy cattle judging.
Both events will be staged We'd
nesday afternoon of short course
week, and winners will be announc-
ed at the big livestock show that
evening.
The division of animal husban-
dry will devote its entire program,
Tuesday forenoon, to demonstra-
tions in the judging of beef cattle,
hogs, horses and sheep. Visitors
will be invited to take part in
judging several classes of these
animals, putting into immediate
practice the information they de-
rive. w. H. Peters, E. F. Ferrin, A.
L. Harvey, and p. A. Anderson will
be the division staff members in
charge.
Demonstrations in the killing and
dressing of poultry, cattle, sheep,
and hogs under farm conditions
will be other features of outstand-
ing interest on the animal husban-
dry program of the week. Likewise,
there will be a colt breaking DEM
onstration by Harry Linn, national
ly known fieldman of the Iowa
Horse and Mule Breeders aSsocia-
ton.
A joint meeting of Minnesota
dairy breed groups will be a high
light of the dairy division program.
The program will deal with dairy
cattle improvement from several
angles, including the important
new approach through germ plasm

Ship Time Kept by Half
Hours; NAVY Uses Watch

Ship time is kept by half hours.
a custom said to have started
when time was measured with
half-hour glass, observes writer
in the Indianapolis News. A bell
was struck every time the glass
was turned. The system Is kept
up largely as a matter of tradition,
but some large passenger ships op-
crate service affecting passengers
by the usual time system employed
on land.
The American navy system d.
vides the day into six watches Of
four hours each. The first watch
Is from s p. m. to midnight, the
midwatch Is from midnight to 4
a. m, the morning watch Is from
4 a. m. to a. m, the forenoon
watch Is from a. m. to IL noon,
the afternoon watch Is from noon
to 4 p. m. and the dog watch Is
from 4 p. m. to 8 p. m. The dog
watch is split into two two-hOur
watches. but the others run the full
four hours. The name dog ap-
piled to one watch Is said to have
come from mechanical device
known as a dog. which reverses
machinery. BY splitting this watch,
the time Of the men on each watch
Is changed, and the port and star
board watches are reversed, which
relieves the monotony Of standing
the same watch at the same time
every day. One bell is one-half
hour after the watch begins as
1890 4:3O. etc. The next count
Is two bells thirty minutes later.
Thus eight bells always marks the
end Of the watch. Some variations
Of the system are found in the
merchant system.

Islands lnaccurateIy Mapped

History records the disappear

of them were only ipaccurately

In the Arctic ocean. which was dis
covered In 1907, rediscOvered in
1876, and explored in 1898. In 1927
a fourth ship sailed to the spot and
could not find the island. The other
three had made identical errors in

GRAIN ROBBERS LOOT
FARM PLACES IN COUNTY

A number of grain thefts were
reported in the county and Sheriff
McIntee's office has been active in
trying to run down the thieves.
Last week Tuesday Jos. Lieser of
Lake Henry reported the theft of
100 bushels of flax, 100 bushels of
barley and about 20 bushels of
timothy seed. A truck was heard
at the Lieser farm about o'clock
in the morning, but nothing was
thought Of it.
Several days later oats and bar
ley were taken on the farm of
Quade Bros, in Getty township and
also from farm near Belgrade.
Two trucks are believed to have
been involved in these robberies.
The series of grain thefts has
covered Stearns, Benton, Morrison
and other surrounding counties but
Sheriff McIntee was convinced that
all were the work of one ring, pos
sibly working jointly with an eleva-
tor in the community.-Melrose

Little, But What Punch Is Behind It!

F. Grim, University Farm, secre-
tary and consulting agronomist for
the crop improvement association.
One division of the show will be
restricted to entries of registered
and certified small grains, grasses
and legumes, with utility sam
Piles; that is, shown just as the
seed will be sold without being
hand picked or polished. The corn
show will have separate classes for
amateurs and professionals. Open
classes for small grains and grasses
will admit seeds not registered or
certified, and samples may be pol
ished if desired. Special classes
for All exhibitors will be provided.
Mr.. Grim urges every farmer
having good seed to enter the show,
not alone to win prizes, but also to
further the cause of good seed by
having a splendid exhibit on hand
to be seen by the thousands of far
mers who will attend Farm and
Home Week. He says it is only
good business for seed growers to
arrange an impressive show, just
as automobile manufacturers, flow
er growers, dog fanciers and live
stock people have found it pays to
do. The State Seed Show is the
"show window" of Minnesota seed
growers who should follow the lead
of successful mercantile establish
ments which spend large sums on
window displays.
Seed shows give growers a chanc
to compare methods and results and
swap experiences. Growers present
will also benefit from the annual
meeting of the crop improvement
association and the short course
program in crop production and
improvement.

SOYBEANS USED IN
AUTOMOBILE PARTS

Yes, they are using soybeans in
the manufacture of automobiles;
and, apparently, lot of them. In
formation received at University
Farm, st. Paul, says that at the
Ford River Rouge plant, a huge
mill for making nodded automobile
parts from soybeans is now near
ing completion, and when COM
pleted will have cost about $5,0O0,-
600. 1t is said that the plastic mill
will be the largest factory in the
world devoted to processing farm
products for industrial use.
The announcement is good news
for soybean growers, but it is also
good news for farmers generally,
for it shows how science is finding
new markets for farm products by
finding new uses for them. That is
just another way in which science
is helping to solve the big economic
problems of American farms.

ooh. let me hold the Christmas
Seal doll!"
This plea was heard from all
sides when youngsters at the Chill
dren's Preventorium near st. Paul
had a visit recently from "Miss
Christmas Seal", a doll dressed to
represent the girl on the 1885 tu-
berculosis stamp.
To Peggy Lou, shown above with
the doll, and the other boys and
girls at the Preventorium, "Miss
Christmas SeaT is much more than
doll. She is a symbol of their
chance for life and health.
Every child at the Preventorium,
which Is a part Of the tuberculosis
fighting machinery brought about
through the Christmas Seal educa-
tional campaign, is there because
he or she is in danger of develop
ing tuberculosis. Most of them
have lived in homes where there
Is an active case. To build them
up physically so that they will not
break down later, the children have
long hours Of rest, nourishing food,
sun and air baths, and supervised
activity. They are kept under
careful medical supervision and
are x-rayed frequently.
