While from Detroit west the tourist would be entertained with beautiful prairies, waving fields of grain and elegant farm homes, yet this route would pass through such a vast extent of this country that the beauty would be lost by the monotony thereof. i Mileage the Same. The mileage of the different routes is substantially the same. So judg- ing from the character of the men to make the selection, and the character of the route already selected, we have avery reason to expect that the great Jefferson Highway will be located threugh our state from the Twin Cities north over either the eastern or central route, which offer combined great wealth in population of the territory traversed, hotel and garage accommedations, and the best pos- ible present conditions of roads, ;ual mileage, and soil conditions the t, tepography good, plenty of good ad building material available, great scenic advantages, numerous points of interest and a road that can be traversed every day in the spring, summer, fall, and in some places, in e wintei. In addition to this, it would seem to be out of place to es- tablish a Jefferson Highway leading from the mouth of the Mississippi that did not contemplate in some way reaching Itasca Park. It is interesting for us to know that the citizens of Grand Forks and Winnipeg are exceedingly anxious that the Jefferson Highway be es- tablished through the central por- tion of the state along the central route, enabling them to realize that they can enter upon their journey at Grand Forks follow the Midland Trail to Bemidji and from Bemidji to the Twin Cities, and make whatever detour they desire, and not have the pleasure of their trip disturbed by the disastrous effects or gumbo com- bined with rain. So interested are these people who are familiar with the gumbo roads of the Red River Valley, that at a meeting recently held in Bemidji where the Jefferson Highway Association of Northern Minnesota was organized, several Grand Forks citizens appeared and urged our association to secure the location of the Jefferson Highway along the central route so that they might enjoy the trips from Grand Forks to the Twin Cities without be- ing tormented all the while with the fear of being overtaken with rain and gumbo roads. The adoption of the central route as the course of the Jefferson Highway through northern Minnesota will create a wonderful interest in building automobile roads in northern Minnesota and thus, as ! have said before, do more than any- thing else in advancing the develop- met of northern Minnesota.

A high, well drained area, with a southern or southeastern expcsure, about 150 to 200 feet from the farm- house, is the ideal place to locate the permanent poultry house. Soil that is well drained is less likely to become contaminated with disease germs. If a geod grewth of grass cannot be kept around the bailding scatter sand or gravel where the grass has been killed out. The gravel not only tends to keep the ground free from disease germs, but aids materially in reducing the number of dirty eggs in wet weather. Air drainage is quite as essential as ground drainage. so the house should not occupy a low place or pocket where the cool, damp air settles even though the ground water be taken care of by tile. Success With Hens. It isp’t a matter of a particular breed. There are a dozen breeds of fowls that can be depended upon for the high ecconomic values if rightly handled. The egg laying contests in various parts of America as well as in Australia prove that most of the com- mon breeds of fowls have marvelous possibilities in egg production when handled rightly. While the heavier breeds may be slightly inferior to some of the smaller breeds in average egg production, they have points of superi- ority in otber respects that make them of equal value. The man behind the bird is the determining factor. ADVERTISEMENT. (Authorized and to be paid for by Chas. 8. Carter. Price for series $5.00.) CHAS. S.

DAIRY ano CREAMERY SUMMER CARE OF MILK. 8hould Be Strained and Cooled as Soon as Drawn From the Cow. Just as soon as the weather gets warm our milk is at once taken out of the stable after it is taken from the cow and strained into a can, writes a correspondent of the Towa Homestead. When we have as much in this can as we can cool conveniently we take an- other and set the first one into a tub of water right from the well. If we had a stream of running water we would use a trough for this purpose, lowering the temperature if need be by the use of ice. While the animal heat Is escap- ing from the milk in the can we stir the contents once in awhile. That helps to cool ‘the milk as quickly as possible and releases the cow smeil from it, which might otherwise affect the entire mess before morning. Another good way to cool milk is by the use of the aerator. The use of this device is more and more coming into It is said that there are more owners of Jersey cows in the Unit- ed States than in all other countries combined. Such a result could only have come about from the fact that the Jersey is an efficlent and profit- able dairy animal. The bull p:cmr- ed is a pure bred Jersey. O—-——wh general use. «Not all farmers, however, understand just what it is, so let me say that it isa tin vessel, not altogeth- er unlike a big strainer top side down, through which the milk may be run, cooling it by exposing it to a cool sur- face on the way down. There are more expensive coolers, consisting of pipes running back and forth, with a tank at the top into which the milk may be poured, coming out below into a can. This ought to have running water. either artificial or natural. But by simply pouring new milk back and forth from one pail or can into an- other we may do a very good job at cooling at no other expense than the outlay of a little time and strength. Ang certainly this is a great deal bet- ter than to have the milk sour or re- tain its bad flavor until it reaches the customer, for it is a fact that the nat- ural animal smell of milk, while not altogether disagreeable in the begin- ning, if permitted to stand shut up be- gins to change very quickly if not let out in some way, thus setting up a process of, decay. The care of milk in warm weather includes keeping every pan, strainer, can, pail and cloth that is in any way connected with the business just as clean as possible. If the least bit of milk or cream or even creamy water be left on one of these things in a very little while heat starts the rotting pro- cess, and that is disastrous to good milk, cream or butter. The good care of milk also has & bearing on the way the stable work is done. Clean stables, clean cows and clean clothes for the milkers all have their part to bear in the production of first class dairy products. Congested Udders. Overteeding protein rich rations and allowing too little exercise tend to cause at freshening time excessive congestion of the udder. A certain degree ot congestion is normal and usu- ally indicates the promise of a good tlow of milk. Chill or bruising may cause congestion to pass inte the in- flammatory stage, or blood may appeer in the milk as the result of rupture of small blood vessels in the udder. Re- duce rich feed; keep the bowels active, make the cow take daily exercise for six weeks before calving. Hand rub and massage the udder three times a day, using some lard or lanolin on the hands. Give the cow a handful of glauber salts dissolved in water once daily. In severe cases give two drams each of saltpeter and powdered poke root twice daily in water.—Kimball’s Dairy Farmer. Avoid Changing Milkers. In order to get the best results in hand milking it is essential that the cows be milked by the same persons at each milking time. A frequent change of milkers mtns loss in milk every time a change js:made; In some dairies where there ‘hre several milkers the practice is. for each milker to sit down to whatever cow happens to be next in order instead of the same persons milk- ing the same cows each time. This is a poor practice. Certain cows should be assigned to each milker and as few changes made as possible. Then a cow becomes accustomed to the milker and the milker to the cow. The result wilt be more milk. Secretion of milk is largely a nervous process. Alfalfa For Calves. Let the calves have ten to twelve pounds of good silage and what alfalfa hay they care to eat. In addition, feed enough grain to keep them in good con- dition, using a mixture of equal parts by weight ground corn or corn and cob meal and wheat bran. REV. GEORGE LARSON TO THIEF RIVER FALLS Rev.
