FARMERS SHOULD INCREASE HERDS Milk Demand on the Range Greater | Than Can be Supplied by Itasca Creamery. The report of the Itasea county Co-operative creamery for the first two weeks of October and which was issued a few days ago, shows sed business for a slightly deer the period, except the amount of milk marketed. With this { in-| erease the creamery was unable to supply the demand for milk from the range towns. The mar- ket there is the best and the de- mand has no indication of falling off. In view of this condition the creamery management is urging the farmers in territory tributary to Grand Rapids to increase the size of their herds just as rapidly as they are able to raise the coars food for keeping them. The volume of business must be greater before the creamery will be able to do its best for the farmers of this section. A new feature of the dairy busi- ness has been announced from Otter Tail county. There the farmers around the small towns have clubbed together and have sent the county agricultural agent to purchase full blooded cows for use. As a result of this activity many Holstein cows have been secured to go to Pelican Rapids and Erhard while a drove of Guernseys have been sent to Battle Lake.’ ~ Those) who sold dairy products valued at more tham $15.00 during the last two weeks are as follows: J. D. Hinegardner: $28.90; Neil Mullins, $46.83; Arthur Ranger: $22.39; George Becker, Sr., $22.58; William ‘Cronkhite, $22.19; Hooli- han) & Peterson, $72.60; Experiment farm, $157.37; F. O. Guildmeister, $26.14; Niles & Aiton, $2222; L. A. Wilman, $20.21; George Heinzelman! $20.02; William ‘Poppe, $19.39; A. F. Banks, $16.04; Louis ‘Dahl, $45.49; Mrs.'D. Lipsett, $23.36. | The Bluebird Club meet with Gladys Kniffin Tuesday evening. Luncheon was served and a gen- eral good time enjoyed. Why Husk all the Corn? It is customary in the northwest to husk most of the corn that is not put into the silo. The expense of husking is from four to six cemls per bushel. In addition to! jicorn-husking it takes much time Jed for other fall work. So f as possible, it would be wise te husk only the corn needed for inside feeding. i} ' Stockers and feeders can be very successfully fed on: bundle- corn, Such cattle followed by the brood sows or other store hogs make use of the entire corn crop without waste, when fed in this form. Fattening hogs can husk au good proportion of the corn field and make good gains at the same time. They can be allowed to run in the standing corn.! un- til snow falls, if they are given a couple of loads of straw fo nest in. If it is not possible to finish them in the standing corn, they cap profitably be.finished on bundle corn. They will waste the stover to some exfenf, but a portion of this can be picked up by colts, sheep, or cattle. The corn stalks are converted into manure by’ be- ing worked over and trampled by the stock. While there may be a small waste of feed, there is a Jarge saving of labor in handling the crop in this way. The problem should be studied carefully by ‘he man who has stock to feed and if the saving in labor fs greater than the loss in feed the husking should be avoided.—Andrew Boss, Agricul- turist, University Farm, St. Paul. Will Publish School Annual. The Senior Class of the High School held a meeting Tuesday evening for the purpose of deter- mining whether the School Spec- tator would again! be sent out from the school thisy winter or whether the class would content itself with |the publication of the ‘annual at the end of the school year. The monthly Spectator was dispensed with and the annual will} be printed. The annual was begun in 1906 and last yean was the first time that ‘its publication was omitted in seven years. The senior class will furnish the editorial staff and a meeting|is |to be called soon for the purpose of selecting them. STATE FAIR CORN CONTEST IN 1914 Management Urges all Agricultural Agents aad Instructors to Assist Boys With This Work. The acre corn contest, conducted by the Minmesota state fair in 1913 was a very successful department of the fair. as a great many boys in the state entered the list with exhibits. The premiums were awarded last week and at that tim the board of managers of the fair sent oul a communication to the boys of tite state, jstating that another contest will be provided for the year 1914 and advising the Loys to save the best corm and to see to it that plots of acre and half acre sizes be selected for this special use.! At the state fair in Oklahoma last ‘season there were 1,000 en- tries. While a much less number of contestants entered at the Min- nesota state fair, nevertheless, those who did enter with samples of corn had excellent material. Those who have charge of agri- cultural work in the state are ur- gently requested by the state fair management to assist the boys to save good seed corn and raise a sample for the contest at the state fair next year. i Install Check Room.

The world’s production of gold increased from 6,320,000 ounces in 1891, with a value of $130,650,000, to 22,327,000 ounces in 1911, with a value of $461,542,000. This increase of 350 per cent in twenty; years was not due so much to the; dis- covery of new gold fields as to the development, of improved pro- cesses in extracting the precious metal from low-grade ores. Increase in the quantity of gold was followed by a decrease in its purchasing power and an increase in the value of land. labor and com moflities, im everything, in {fact, except interest on money which de- ereased as money became more plentiful and less difficult to obtain With an increase in the cost of living has come an increase in earnings and the means of obtain- ing a living. The real sufferersfrom increased cost of living are people dependent upon pensions and money at interest. | You, get piano votes with each the|paid admission ticket at the Gem theatre.

Loggers Must Post Notices. One of the laws passed at the last session of the legislature pro- vided that loggers must post notices in their camps, giving a description of the lands on which timber is to be cut. A copy of the notice must alsobe filed with the state forester. ’ ‘ Ox1@ of the chief objects of the |law is to provide rangers informa- tion es ta where cutting is going on so thati they can give instruc- tions for the disposal of the slash as the cutting proceeds. The ex- pense is often thereby reduced for the Jogging companies. Some of |the most disastrous fires in the forest regions are due ta lack of slash disposal. The law passed, providing for notifications of log- ging operations, was but one step in the campaign to protect the timber of Minnesota. BANK No. 893. BANK STATEMENT.
