EXCELLENT CHRISTMAS
 PROGRAM BY SCHOOLS

Probably the largest crowd of parents and friends ever to assemble in the Douglas Public School for Christmas program witnessed a different from the usual Christmas program.
 This year instead of each class putting on separate skits, the whole elementary school combined and produced and presented play en- titled, "Old Crosspatch," musical play accompanied by a chorus of more than 80 voices blended to- gether through the efforts of music teacher J. P. Zawalnicki.
 The play was directed and super vised under the direction of the combined Grade School staff. It depicted Old Kris Kringle, a Cross Old Man of a community who really had a heart of gold and played the role of Santa at Christmastime.
 The program was outstanding both in the acting, music and cos tunes and was we'll received by the audience.
 Preceding the main program, the First Graders presented a toy pa- rade musical under the direction of Mrs Etolin Wittonen, first grade teacher
 Between acts of the old Cross patch" Miss Lillian Stevens, Seventh Grade student, displayed a beautiful voice for her first pub lie appearance singing, "Oh, Holy Night" Miss Stevens has been train ing under Mrs. w. P. Johnson.
 All programs and songs were ac- companied on the piano by Miss Adah Freissen.

pretty upset when Tweed sent over
for it. He told me in great anxiety
that evening that Tweed HoWser

How great has been the scope
of DR.. Powell's research can be
appreciated only by a full under
standing of the time needed to
develop a cross to the stage that
bulbs can be shared. At the min

the processing takes six years. OF
course cross is achieved as soon
as pollen has been introduced into
the pistil of a de-anthered par

the cross natures seeds, the seed
is planted and the new blooms
come on, constant care must be
given.

Dairy farming leads agriculture

[)oqs
By Peter Boees

NOW tnat spring is OTnclally
here and cooped-up chickens are
again running about their yards,
I am getting my usual requests
for information on how to stop
dogs from killing chickens.
Here are two methods you
might employ if your dog is killing
your neighbors' hens. One is to
fasten large piece of freshly
killed chicken to the dogs collar
and allow it to remain there for q
week or so in order to make the
odor of chicken forever loathsome
! to the animal.
Here is another method that I
recently tried out myself with
good results. Tie the dog in
hen yard for two or three days,
Then unite him but allow him to
remain in with the hens for a
few hours. Watch him when you
| first release him and if he goes
after a hen tie him up again for
another day. 1t is strange, but
after dog is removed from the
hen yard he will, in the future,
avoid molesting chickens.
Many people are of the belief
that a dog cannot get too much
exercise-they are wrong. A puppy
especially can be given too much
exercise. You should never urge
a pup to exercise after eating, but
should encourage a rest until the
meal has been at least partially
digested. If you insist on taking
him for long walks just after he
has finished meal serious
stomach or bowel troubles are
liable to result.
Don't exercise puppies up to five
or six months of age by taking
them out for regular walks. In
stead allow them to get all the
exercise they need by romping and
playing. A young pup tires easily
and putting leader on him and
walking 10 or IL city blocks does
him more harm than good. Wait
until his bones are strong enough
before starting to take him out on
a leader. Short walks won't do
him any harm but playing with
him on a grassy plot or the living
room floor will be more beneficial
to an eight or ten weeks old dog.
With the ground now wet and
damp from thawing, be sure If
you keep your dog in a pen outside
that he has some sort of platform
or bench he can get up onto. A
dog can stand certain amount
of dampness and mud. but if
forced to lie about in damp ken
mel yard all day he is very apt to
develop a severe cold that might
turn into distemper.
My little Scottie keeps shaking
his head and at times he walks
with it tilted to one side. What
would cause him to do this?-
r. E. L.
Perhaps he is suffering from
canker Of the ear. Take him to a
good veterinarian. Canker of the
ear can be cured quickly If proper
treatment is given.

steady meat diet to a dog? My
collie seems to like it very much.

places. When a noted judge and
grower saw the Hiawasee in a
show here, he wanted to place an
order for 100 at once. Heavens,
man." DR.. Powell is reported to
have said. there are only five in
existence!" That is the thrill of
hypridizing-to help nature create
something rare but true as to
type.
Modern commercial develop
ment calls for multiplication by
division of the bulbs. At first the
fine varieties are very expensive
because they are so scarce, and
this is true of all bulbs and plants.
For instance, DR.. Powell paid SITS
for a Fortune narcissus bulb, an
introduction that brought $3.50
each at first in England. Now
they can be purchased for Is cents
each.

it is possible to raise a beef calf
out to the point where he will
fit nicely into the family deep
freeze.
And if you have more land than
you need, the money from the sale
of few well-grown steers will
come in handy at the end of the
year.
Aid for Feeding CoIves
Science has made it easier to
raise calves. whether they be beef
or dairy. In fact, you don't need
a COW as source of milk. Milk
substitutes are available for those
first few weeks, and special dry
feeds now contain all of the nu-
trients necessary for the growing
calf.
