Drifting snow raised havoc with
traffic on the Northern Pacific
branch during the early part of the
week. From Morris to Little Falls
the snow has been ''bucked" to
such a height along the track that
every snow furry filled the
trenches" to height as to impede
all trains. Last Sunday night a
freight engine jumped into a snow
drift and broke a connecting rod
and became stalled three miles east
of Sank Centre. A snow pillow was
called from Little Falls and the
regular passenger trains did not
pass until late in the afternoon.

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
HOmemakers Answered BY
University Farm

Can turkeys be vaccinated for
fowl-pOx and can 1 prepare the
vaccine myself?
Turkeys can be vaccinated for
pox, but as a rule we do not ad-
wise it. Neitherdo we advise prepar-
ing your own vaccine. There are
circumstances where it may be adj
visable to vaccinate for pox and it
is carried out very extensively in
some cases. We are mailing you
a bulletin on diseases of turkeys.
After reading this, write again if
you have further questions.-C. p.
Fitch, Division of Veterinary Medi-
cine.
What is the most reliable method
for canning meat?
The only safe way to can meat
is with a pressure cooker. It is the
only method by which one can be
sure of getting high enough tenn
pera ture to destroy harmful BAG
terra. All meat should be canned
as soon as the carcass is cooled.
Before processing, precook the
meat by roasting, pan broiling,
deep-fat frying, or heating in the
can to ITO degrees. The pressure

Is nighttime service or q home
electric plant best for supplying
electricity on farms?
Where obtainable, nighttime ser
vice is the ideal source Of electric
ity for the farm, provided the sys-
tenn is properly installed and wir-
ing capacities are adequate to give
uninterrupted uniform service.
High-line service has the special
advantage of providing current
enough to operate motors large
enough to do practically all station
airy farm power jobs. Farms in iso-
lated locations, where highline ser
vice is not available, find the in
dividual lighting plant very salts
factory for supplying electricity
for lighting and operating small
appliances. Owing to their limited
capacity, however, such plants
cannot operate motors larger than
one-fourth to one-third horse pow
er, as not more than 40 kilowatts
of current a month can be expected
from the individual plant. Rom

10000 YEARS IN SING SING
Warden Lewis E. Lawes. Sing Sing
stands out in the days news with
greater prominence than any other
institution related to crime in the
world-with the possible exception
of Scotland Yard. And Lewis e.
Lawes, during the years he has
been warden, has done more to give
Sing Sing a favorable reputation
with the public than any other
warden in the prisons century of
history.
This book tells you not only of
the twelve years at Sing Sing but
also of the entire professional car
eer of Lawes from the time of his
early rookie days as a guard at
Clinton Prison.
Here are all the elements of hui
man interest-humor, pathos, trag-
edy, adventure, crime, instruction
illustrated by countless incidents
and experiences in the lives of men
and women, unknown and motor
ious.
OLD HOME TOWN-Rose Wilder
Lane. All over America today there
are countless men and women
whose thoughts turn back longingly
to the town of a few hundreds or
thousands of population where they
spent their early days.
They forget that the town they
knew exists no longer-though the
streets and houses may still be
there. Progress" has destroyed it,
for today city and little town
share the benefits of the machine
age, and it has unified their once
differing few points.
For these people Rose Wilder
Lane has written this book, has
brought between the covers fam
iliar people and sights and sounds
of the American small town of yes
terday. Individual life stories in it
are so real, so typical of American
life, that the reader will recognize
characters he has known. Like
Let the Hurricane Roar" this is
another fine American book which
all readers should enjoy.

Hanson Names New Wardens-At-
Large

Large
Assignment of three state game
wardens to new duties as Wardens-
at-Large was announced last week
by A. c. Hanson, director of the
division of game and fish. The
men are: Labe Safro, Shakopee,
Victor L. Schleppergrell, Little
Fork, and John e. Salvatore, st.
Paul.
Selected because of loyalty and
fearlessness, the men will be called
upon to act in law violations Of a
serious nature where local game
wardens are unable to cope with
the situation. A fourth game war
den will join the group before
March 1. If the new departmental
plan proves successful, two more
wardens may be added as condi-
tons warrant.
Schleppergrell and Salvatore last
week began checking fishing vio-
lations near the Canadian border.
The division of game and fish is
cooperating with the state depart
ment of agriculture in this work. A
considerable number of large-scale
violations have been reported from
this area
1t is interesting to note that two
of the new wardens-at-large, Safro
and Salvatore, were formerly we'll
known boxers. About 20 years ago
the two men met in three of the
hardest fought encounters in the
history of Minnesota boxing. They
remained firm friends with the
greatest of respect for each other.
Sportsmen Urged To File Reports
Sportsmen are asked to cooper
ate with the division of game and
fish by sending in their 1885 small
game license reports. According to
A. C. Hanson, director of the div
ision, only about rs per cent Of the
licensees have sent in their re-
ports.
The reports are necessary for the
game tabulations now being car
ried on, Mr.. Hanson pointed out.
The law provides that licensees
shall send the reports to the divi-
sion of game and fish by January
30 of the year following the expir-
alton of the license.
