is used. If the mash and grain system
is used, chick grain can be started about
the seventh day, feeding sparingly at
the start.
Aro;d Over-crosUding: Over-crowd-
ing the house is one of the greatest evils
found in the poultry industry. Such
practice leads to LIBERALIZATION and
high mortality. AT the start, allow one
foot of floor space to each two chicks
and do not brood over 300 chicks to-
gether.
Keep Careful Check on the Project:
Only the most careful attention to de-
tail will return success. While direct
drafts must be avoided, adequate venti-
lation should be maintained. Rigid
sanitation must be practiced and constant
culling must be done of runts, cripples,
or abnormally depressed chicks.

How to Start
the BABY Chiefs
By ROY S. DEARSTYNE

Feed Balanced Mash Containing
Cod-Liver Oil or Its Equivalent: While
there exists a difference of opinion as to
the correct time to feed and water baby
chicks, excellent results have been OBJ
tanned in this State by placing the water
and feed before the chicks when they
are placed under or around the brooder.
Provide two half-gallon drinking founts
for each 100 chicks at the start, and add
more founts as the chicks grow older.
These founts should be thoroughly
cleaned and filled with fresh water
with the chill taken off, and placed in
the brooder house prior to placing the

and general management at this early

Young birds and usually result in stunted

~ ES, lespedeza; that my hobby"
said Jake He Gillespie, Oconee
IL county farmer, when asked if he
would explain the evidently productive
soil and the bale-per-acre cotton that we
saw on his well-kept farm near Seneca.
'Lespedeza not only adds nitrogen
from the air but makes land spongy to
hold water and prevent washing. Two
years of lespedeza, in my experience, will
absolutely double cotton yields"
Sixteen years ago Jake Gillespie came
to this billy Oconee 1oo-acre farm,
which he found partly terraced but
badly washing because the terraces were
not properly laid off and the land lacked
humus and water-holding capacity.
With his own Bostrum level he laid out
terraces that had some fall, and at once
he began to restore the washed-out
acres with cowpeas, soybcans, velvet
beans, for summer; vetch, clover, and
later Austrian peas for winter cover
crops. And always he has sought the
aid of the county agents towards good
farming practices.
Discovers lespedexa
Gillespie's 100 acres, mostly in cult
walton, soon began to show better yields
of cotton and corn because of his cover
crop and rotation practices, and he knew
he was living up to his farming princi-
pie of leaving the land at least little
better each year." He was trying, he
saws, to be farmer, not a miner.

A land appraiser of a large trust
company was through here the other day
and he said he had never declined an
application for a loan on a farm that
had a patch of alfalfa on it. 1t wasn't
the intrinsic value of the alfalfa, but the
mental attitude of the farmer who plant
ed it that merited the loan. There are
a lot of small cupboard signs that declare
farmers success or failure-one breed
of chickens on the place instead of a
mixed lot-uniform breeding and type
of hogs-fat and well kept work stock.

Feed must be kept be-

times. Provide one SIT.
or two 3o-in. baby chick
size mash hoppers, which
feed from both sides, for
each 100 checks to be
brooded for the first three
weeks. Additional mash
hoppers should be added as
needed. All mash hoppers
and founts should be
placed on wire frames.

TIL en- Gillespie
discovered lespedeza,
and it is worth
while to note that
his discovery was
through reading. In
a farm magazine he
saw an article on
lespedeza in Stanley
county, North Caro-
lima. That was in
1927. w ell, he
wanted to prove for
himself what he
had read about
this new legume.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-02-05

sanitation is one of the
prime factors of success.
All old litter must be re-
moved and the floor care
fully scraped and disin-
fected. The use of a fire
gun should produce good
results and spraying with
one of the coaltar dips is
highly effective. If the
floor be of dirt, several
inches should be scraped
off and this replaced with
coarse dry sand. Suitable
litter should be placed on
the floor if it be of con-
crete or wood. The use

has never been a

that he must make

are brood sows, a

of butter, eggs and
other products add
appreciably to the
cash income.

farm records show, the farm produced
(besides the lespedeza and cotton crops
already spoken of 1854 bushels of oats,
az bushels of wheat and 375 bushels
of corn.
A speciality is several acres of alfalfa,
which is fine hay crop, Gillespie asserts.
He got this year four good cuttings, and
says that five cuttings are practicable and
good for four to six tons per acre.
Perhaps the best thing about Jake
Gillespie's lespedeza and soil improve
ments is that many neighbors are turn
ing converts to his silent gospel. They
are buying seed from him and from else
where and making lespedeza do for their
land what it has done for his. The Gil
lespie farm is an open book along pop
ular highway so that he who rides along
may read.
And so Gillespie's object lesson is an
excellent demonstration which is helping
to spread the doctrine of building
through legun,es as preached by farm
agents and other extension service work
erS.

There is no permanent success for the
farmer who thinks only in terms of cash
crops.
No magician is needed to convert
green grass into golden crean-any good
dairy cow can do it.

There is big hope and promise in the
fact that farmers who never before cared
are now demanding good purebred seed.

CITY VICTORIOUS
in sign DISPUTE
Judge Issues Restraining
Order to Bar New Ulm
Street Sign

New Ulm-Judge Fred w. Sem,
sitting in district court in the case
of the disputed Minnesota street
sign in New Ulm, recently handed
down a decision which gave at
least temporary victory to the city,
but which contained rebukes to
both parties in the case.
In granting a temporary re-
straining order, the Judge gave
satisfaction to the council men,
bers who had objected to the post
ing of a political sign on city pro-
perty. The city, the judge ruled,
had absolute control over all
streets and alleys and has the right
to forbid the posting of any sort
of sign on its roperty.
The city officials came in for a
rebuke later in the judges written
decision, when he pointed out that
the use of yellow paint with its
unpleasant connotations was not
commendable.
The city attorney successfully
argued that the permit for the
erection of the fence did not allow
the use of the fence for purposes
other than the protection of ma
terials used in the construction of
New Ulm's new buildings and the
protection of passing pedestrians
and vehicles.
The restraining order will hold
until further court action is taken
if either party in the case brings
the matter up again to settle un-
satisfied grievances. With the con-
struction of the buildings nearing
the stage where the fence will nc
longer be necessary it is doubtful il
the sign will again appear.

Man Breaks Jail;
Leaves Teeth

| Heron Lake There was jail
break here one evenig recently but
Officer John Rhone soon located
his erstwhile prisoner hiding near
the stockyards and returned him
to the village bastille.
The transient had been ordered
off the streets earlier in the day
because he was intoxicated. He
was told to go down in the rail-
road yards and sober up and then
get out of town. Those admon-
itions failed to bring results and
the man returned a short time
later, only to be lodged in Jail.
His false teeth, which he had
removed from his mouth and plac-
ed on bench beside him before
he was picked up, were taken to
Jail with him and placed on a
bench there That evening Officer
Rhone went to the Jail to see how
his prisoner was getting along and
all he had in the Jail were the
teeth. The prisoner had forced the
bars across the window far
enough apart to permit him to
crawl out between them.
When the officer got the prison.
er back in custody he asked him
where his teeth were. The man
felt in his mouth and was much
surprised to find them gone His
surprise turned to pleasure how
ever, when the officer told him
the teeth were still in the cell
The man sobered up during the
might and Officer Rhone saw to
lit that he left town on the next
freight.

IL Cows, 3 Horses Die

Nicollet-Two farmers of the
Nicollet and st. George communi-
ties suffered heavy losses of live
stock recently when animals per-
ished soon after eating immature
flax seed balls after threshing
operations on their farms. AS a
result veterinarians have issued a
warning against feeding flax straw
to cattle and horses, as the inn
mature seed balls contain prussic
acid, deadly poison.
Martin Enger, residing a mile
north of Nicolet, lost IL valuable
milk cows an hour after the an
imals had eaten the balls. A vet
lernarian was called but could do
nothing because there is no known
lantidote.
On the Hugo Kienlen farm three
miles north of st. George three
horses died from the same poison

Former County
Treasurer Free

Worthington-Martin N. Reis-

county funds, was paroled rec
emily by the state parole board
and will be released as soon as he
secures a job.
Reistroffer was sentenced to a
term of not to exceed five years
in April 1888. He served slightly
more than three years and three
months of the term.

tered the office of Sheriff Eldon
Rowe and confessed to a shortage
of $17,192.62 in his books. The

Nelson Brothers
Join Major BOwes

Olivia-If you were to receive a

telling you to high-tail for New
Yark at once to fill engagements
on the great white way and if
railroad fare were sent you with
assurance that you could hang up
your hat in New York indefinitely
while entertaining the theatre
going public, you would, of course
wire the Major you were taking
the first train east.
That's just what happened last
week when the four Nelson bro
theirs of Olivia, famous entertain

response to a wire from Major
Bowes and arrived in the Ameri-
can metropolis Saturday. They did
not know just what arrangements
had been made for them, except
that they are to play a part in a
new enterprise that Major Bowes

Medium Fleeces
Farmer

OWatonna-A fortune teller who
worked out of Owatonna, slicked
a New Richmond farmer out Of
$2,410 recently on the pretext
that she was saving the family
from the wrath of evil spirits bent
on burning their barn, causing
suffering to their daughter and
otherwise cursing the family.
Misfortune has been the lot OF
the family for several years. They
have had an unusual amount OF
sickness and bad luck.
1t all started when Mrs. Schwen-
ke visited Mary Young, an Indian
woman at Owatonna who adver-
tised that she would give readings
of the past and future. At their
first meeting the medium gave
Mrs. Schwenke her name and age
and spoke of other members OF
the family, giving a general de-
scription of things of the past. For
this she charged her 81, but re-
fused to give her a $40 reading
into the future until she was ac-
companied by her husband.
At the next meeting she said
that the II year old daughter was
to be severely Injured and that
evil spirits were pursuing her. She
asked that she get together bible
the daughters dress, shoe and
the hired mans sock and Sale
in bills and have it at the farm
few days later when she would
call. This was done and the family
gathered and was instructed tc
take certain seats around the table
while the Indian woman went into
"a trance.
In this trance she saw that the
barn was to be burned to the
ground at 4:10 p. m. the nex1
Saturday. Unable to get the com
iplete message she added $1OO OF
her own money to the $410, but
told Mrs. Schwenke that she
should get $4,000 ready, bury i
lin the basement and have it ready
when the Indian woman called the
next day. Meanwhile the medium
went through a long ceremony II
which she ''blessed" the pump ane
other articles about the place. The
bible, money, prayerbook and shoe
were tied up in the daughter:
dress. The fortune teller then lef
Ibut returned the next day, tlee
the additional $4,000 in the dres
and then, because the spirits tolt
her to do so, said that she woule
have to take the bundle to Owo.
tonna where three planets woule
bless the money and complete tht
work of driving away the spirits
She asked the family if they trust
led her and assured them that shs
would return Saturday.
That day she checked out o.
her rooming house at Owatonn;
and has not been seen since
authorities are working on ths
case but have found no trace o.
