Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture

How should an electric motor be
fabricated?
Ono of the chief reasons for
motor retirement is faulty lubrica-
ton and consequent wearing out OF
hearings. In addition to lubrica-
ton the life of the bearings depend
upon belt tension and the alignment
of the driving and driven shafts.
In oiling a motor, use a light petro-
leum oil specified by the manufac-
turer. Ball and roller bearings re-
ouire a light, soft grease. Andrew
Hustrulid, division of agricultural
engineering.
Can 1 substitute honey for sugar
in baking?
Much use of honey can be made
in baking. You can substitute honey
for the sugar in cakes, but be-
cause of its moisture, less liquid is
needed. The amount the liquid
must be reduced depends on the
thickness of the honey itself. When
it is medium thick and replaces one
cup of sugar reduce the liquid one
fourth, or 4 tablespoons. In recipes
where molasses is used, for each
cup of molasses use one cup OF
honey and omit the soda, but for
each teaspoon of soda omitted, use
fur teaspoons of baking powder.
Special Bulletin 122, Honey, How
to Use It" may be obtained free of
charge from your county extension
agent, or the Bulletin Office, Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul.-Inez M.

Polecat Looks Upon Man
As His Enemy; Shuns Him

The polecat has been prosecuted
for so many hundreds Of years that
it looks upon man as its chief enemy
and will shun him on every occa-
sion, writes Oliver G. Pike, F. z. S.,
in London Tit-Bits magazine. It is
considerably larger than the weasel
or stoat, but in its habits is very
much like them. It is far more
handsome, for its dark silky body
and short bushy tail give it bold
appearance. It's complete length
is about "a inches. It is bloodthirsty,
killing far more than it can devour,
and If it gets amongst a colony Of
rabbits it will kill all it can reach.
feeding en- one that -it-carries
to its lair. This is usually a hole
made by rabbit or fox. for it does
not excavate home of its own.
In early English the polecat was
called the foumart, or foul marten,
but whatever name is given this
creature, in all the countries in
which 1t is found it Is associated
with the Objectionable smell it dis
charges at will from a gland at the
base Of the tail.
It is nocturnal in most Of its hab-
its, but this is probably due to its
avoidance Of man rather than any
dislike of daylight.

Sunbird From Old World

The sunbird takes the place in the
Old world that is held by the hum
ming birds of the New. There are
sunbirds in India and Australia, but
the true home of the family is Afri-
ca. The beautiful Malachite sunbird
has a plumage Of rich glossy green.
There is, however, a still more gor-
geous bird in equatorial Africa,
called the metallic sunbird. It loves
the hot monday sun, which other
birds avoid, and is a fierce fighter.
In the mating season they all have
long lustrous tails, which in India
cause the bird to be called the long.
tailed sunbird. Instead of the tongue
being long like that Of the humming
birds 1t is their beak, which is
curved and long, and this acts some
what like a suction pump to obtain
the nectar from flowers. The plum.
age, Of rich golden green, varies on
the under parts, with steel blue,
purple, bright orange or vivid GRIM
son. They have an agreeable song.

Finding of Gold Led to
Various Uses of Metals

When primitive man first noticed
little yellow pellets of gold in the
streams, and found that they could
be hammered into any shape re-
CURED and did not tarnish, he made
his first step in the art Of making
use of metals. That was probably
more than 10000 years ago. says a
writer in London Answers maya
zine.
The next step was the discovery
Of red "stone" with q fine luster,
that could be hammered, made a
nice ornament, and was better for
cutting than mere stone. That was
copper. which in some places is
found in the native" state-that is,
in metallic form. That was prob
ably about 5000 years ago.
They found copper could be melt
ed and cast, and when they hap
pened to mix little tinstone with
it, they found it much harder, and
far better for cutting. If the copper
was mixed by chance with some
zinc ore. the result was called brass.
Metallic iron has been known
from the dawn Of culture in the form
of meteorites. This. Of course, was
very precious, and formed the ma
terial for the magic swords Of his
tory, which never corroded, be-
cause raeteoric iron usually contains
traces of nickel, which prevents it
from rusting.
About the end of the Bronze age
men began to produce iron from its
ores, and so the Iron age began.
The men Of this age, having bet
ter swords and spears than those
who had not yet iron, became the
dominant races.
They found that by making the
iron very hot and hammering 1t.
and then cooling, and then repeat
ing the treatment, and by suddenly
quenching it when hot, they obtained
wrought iron and the art Of tenn
pering.

stork Home-Building

The stork that arrives first in a
village where there are other nests
begins at once to use these to save
itself the trouble of seeking further
for material to repair its own domi.
cile on which other birds already
may have been at work, says Ma.
'ture magazine. Jackdaws help
themselves to the stuff of which the
empty stork nest is made. And,
in turn, the returned stork will steal
sticks from the crow and maybe
nests in the neighborhood. 1t is
curious that, despite many empty
nests, storks will engage in furious
battle over some particular nest
that strikes their fancy. Fights over
q female are also common, and il
a stranger is the victor he at once
empties the nest Of its eggs or
young.

feature was that Mondays run Of
more than $4,000 head proved the
largest in more than five year.
From a strictly commercial stand
point it was the heaviest supply
since January 1924, the 1888 big
supplies coming during the Govern
ment pig buying campaign. From
an $50 top last Friday the mar
ket fell promptly and quickly, the
current peak resting at $7.40. Des-
pite large supplies here, however,
demand was of a very healthy
character. Sows on Tuesday sold at
$7.10-715.
Receipts of cattle showed a
tendency to increase and included
more native shortfed cattle than
recently. Canadian grassers are
still coming, including many loads
of steers tested for feeder offering.
Demand locally up to now has
apparently not enlarged on killer
account because of the Chicago
situation and prices worked lower
on the expanded runs. Steers,
yearlings and heifers going into
slaughter are weak to Csc lower.
Cows are largely Csc off for the
two days with instances showing
Soc downturn. Vealers on the
other hand sold strong, extremes
SOC up. Bulls ranged steady to Csc
higher. Medium to good feeder
steers sold mainly at $6.75-8.O0 in a
steady market, with plain native
stockers at $5.50-6.5O. The dairy
cow trade was fairly active and
fully steady, shipper demand being
good and weighty, close, well-bred
springers turned at $7500-90.00,
plain to medium $50.00-70.OO.
Fat lamb prices tumbled 25-50c
this week following the recent
sharp upturn. Slaughter sheep and
feeding lambs found ready outlet
as strong prices. Good and choice
lambs sold at $8.75-9.10 on Tuesday
common and medium grades at
$6.00-7.50. Choice 90-110 lib. yearlings
scored $500, good and choice ewes
$3.254.00. Good and choice range
feeding lambs turned at $7.75-825,
natives at $6.50-7.50.

annually, 1t is threat to every
home, in every community. Your
general purchase and use of Christ
mas Seals is urged by the commit
tee.
This 1888 campaign against the
white plague offers every person
the opportunity of partnership in a
great fight to eradicate tuberculos-
Is.
The design, on the 1888 seal,
which pictures a mid-Victorian
mother and her two children light
ing a candle, takes us back to those
days when tuberculosis was looked
upon as destructive visitation OF
Providence-a hopeless hereditary
disease about which nothing could
be done. Those were the days OF
dread suffering and death. 1t was
the era in which the home was
highly localized, but little or moth
ing was known about to protect 1t
from the ravages of common dis
ease, much less tuberculosis.
Homes are safer today. There
is at hand sufficient knowledge to
control tuberculosis. Yet, we must
not be too complacent, for tubercu-
losis takes it's toll to the extent OF
one life every seven and one-third
minutes. 1t ranks first as killer
in the important years from 10 to
As.
No home is safe, until all homes
are safe. Become partner in this
great campaign. Buy seals gener-
ously. They are on sale at the Mer-
chants National Bank and the Blu
shey Drug Store.

Egyptian Tribute to the Dog

DOG days" are the result Of an
Egyptian tribute to the dog. Gen.
turtles ago the Nile flooded at a GER
tain season of the year. The food
was signalized by the appearance Of
q star. For years the Egyptians
depended upon the ascendancy Of
the star to fee their homes for the
highlands. Year after year the
star was the signal until, finally, the
Egyptians named the star after the
most faithful animal they could
think of-the dog. In Egyptian Siri-
US meant dog, and the star was
named Sirius. The star was a warn
ing sign to the homesteaders. along
the Nile, and the term dog days"
has been handed down for gen.
erations.

CITY PIONEER
VISITED FRIENDS
Left Sank Centre In
1886-Now Lives In Portland,
Ore.-Daughter of j. johnson

A Sank Centre pioneer woman
who remembers watching as cir
the first Great Northern wood
burning locomotive wheeze into
this town, was back in this city
this week visiting now unfamiliar
spots on her second visit since she
left in 1886.
She is Mrs. Melissa Archibald, OF
Portland, Oregon, who fluttered
back the pages of history of this
central Minnesota city. She is one
of nine children born in this city
to Mr.. and Mrs. James M. john
son, is a member of family whose
line of origin, starting here, num-
bers now more than fifty in three
succeeding generations.
Her father, an arrival here when
timber was the main stand, was
best known as Long Johnson, be-
cause he was nearly seven feet
tall"
Mrs. Archibald, who arrived here
Tuesday, located Miss Leta White
with whom she went to school IN
this city. For several days this
week she was a guest of Miss
White.
She remembered some about the
arrival of the railroad. They laid
rails slowly in those days, she SAID
and believed the road came here
about 1877. Her father worked IN
the wood yards that supplied fuei
to the engines in those days. AND
the rails passed within ten feet OF
the back of her fathers house.
Her parents, she said, were resi-
dents here about thirty years. In
1856 when this region was little
more than timberland and the
stockade had not yet risen, her par
ents came. In 1886 they left this
city-with nine children-for Devils
Lake by covered wagon.
Now after long years absence
Mrs. Archibald commented about
Sank Centre. 1--WE longed to come
back for a long time to see the
changes. It's a nice city now. The
changes are so that I, of course,
wouldn't recognize your city now"
she said this week.

MAIL EARLY
FOR CHRISTMAS
Affords Direct Dispatching
For Christmas Parcels-Later
Mailings Go Thru Terminals

AS Main Street swung into its
merchandising spree" of the sea-
son, that presages the Christmas
holiday, the early shopper and
mailer was greeted cordially by loo
al merchants and postal employees
alike, with the local postoffice ring
ing it's annual plea, Mail early for
Christmas"
Merchants this week, as Main
Street donned it's holiday dress,
were busily donning the Christmas
garments in new merchandise, new
displays for their stores. With an
eye to the discriminate shopper,
merchants pointed to new things In
gift trends as the season swung in
to it's opening chorus.
Only a smattering of Christmas
mailing has been done through the
local postoffice, it is reported. Post
master Ben Dubois pointed out that
the usual date for the local rush"
beginning is about December 10th,
but urged an earlier start for this
year.
Some interest has been shown by
shoppers in early Christmas buying,
merchants reported. Purchases OF
larger, more expensive gifts have
already been made. Smaller gift
purchases have not yet indicated
Christmas proportions, they report
ed.
Advantages of mailing early were
pointed out by Mr.. Dubois this
week. Early mailing affords direct
dispatching for Christmas parcels,
he pointed out. Later mailing must
go to the terminals. When there's
congestion in the terminals, mail
delays are liable to result.
Senders of Christmas cards were
reminded to carefully check ad-
dresses when mailing for cent and
half. Cards may be mailed under
the cent and a half rate If they
are unsealed and contain no writ
ing. Such mailing is permissible II
the sender is certain the address
specified is correct. No forwarding
is possible under the cent and one

may be included, the envelope may
be sealed, and forwarding will be
carried out in the event the address
listed is not correct, it was learned
at the postoffice.
Since Christmas falls on Sunday
and the holiday will be observed on
Monday, an additional reason for
early mailing was listed through the
postoffice department. In a mes
sage from Postmaster James A.
Farley, it stated, Therefore the
Post Office Department contem-
plates Christmas mail shall be de-
livered by midnight, December "a.
All postal employees who can be
spared shall have opportunity to
spend the 25th and Goth with their
families"
On Monday, the 26th, no city, rur-
al delivery, or window service will
be available through the local post
office, 1t was declared.

Sponges Are Animals

For many years sponges were be-
lieved to be plants, because they
grew attached to rocks at the bot
tom of the sea. However, scientists
assert that they are actually ami
mails, not plants, and are the low
est form Of animal life, with the ex-
ception Of single-celled animals like
the amoeba. Sponges are simply
group Of individual cells, each liv-
ing more or less independently Of the
other. The bath sponge Is the skel-
eton Of the sponge animal, not the
animal itself. The flesh is first rot
ted off before the skeleton is mar
ketable.
