MARKET DAY
WELL ATTENDED
Judging from the number of
people in Pierz last Saturday
it is evident that market day
has come to stay. The auction
sales were not so large as on
the first market dav in March,
but the fact of the matter is
the cattle,'hogs and horses have
been pretty well cleaned up for
the present by outside buyers.
The high prices that have prevailed lately have been a great
inducement to the farmers to
dispose of everything they had
in that line.
The merchants all report a
good business, the stores being
crowded thruout the whole day.
The competition for prizes
was not particularly brisk.
John Banach won the prize for
the largest load of wheat hauled to the mill by one team. The
load contained a little over 120
bushels. John Gau won the
prize for the highest priced
dairy cow; and Jos. Hartman
nad the best pair of pigs.
THE MILKY  WAY.
A Hundred Million Stars Glsam In

The census of (Lie slurry sky is concerned almost entirely with the Milky
way. Tlic number of stars not connected with it Is negligible. But when
yon look ::t tlie Milky way the idea of
nuiubertn-j its stars seems the dream
oi* a madman, it stretches all round
the sky. Its extent is su nnthlnkably
Immense that science has never undertaken tn measure it. and the innipina-
tiem could not strasp the figures ihat
such a measurement, if it was possible
to make it. would involve.

The cut below shows an outfit rec-

in any barn behind the cows where it
is handy. Fifteen small bottles are
■provided to taV.c the test of as many

The dairy division, University Farm,
St. Paul, Minn., has arranged to have
these outfits made to supply farmers
at actual cost. The outfit is complete
as shown with the exception of the
milk pail hanging on the scales. The
30 pound scales shown are very handy
indeed, not only for weighing milk,
but for weighing out feed as we'd.
After the cow has been milked the
pail is hung on the spring balances
and the weight recorded.
After recording the weight, a uniform sample of milk should he obtained. Stir the milk well with a
small dipper from bottom to top, ns
of the fat globules come to the
top very soon after milking is finished.
Corrosive sublimate tablets are placed
ln the sample bottles, or a small
amount of potassium bichromate, to
rve the milk until it is tested.
The dairy division has found that
very accurate result- can be obtained
king night's and morning's weighing once a n ompo_ite sample of the ;e t wo weighings being
to fir..] tbe 1 contents. If
hed and sampled only one day out
of the month, care should be taken
that regularity in the time of milking
ia practiced. The dairyman should
not milk one morning at 4:30 and the
next morning wait until 7 or S o'clock.
Not only is it necessary to milk regularly to get an accurate sample, but
cows will not do well with any other
way of h-ndling.— G. P. Grout, Minnesota Agricultural College.
