P.   B., Logan,   who   was   in
ge of the third prize wining exhibit made   by   Morrison
county at the   state   fair,    and
I who again at the last state fair
I won high honors with    the   display which lie gathered by  the
expenditure of   a   vast   amount
of    work,   has   submitted   the
scores made by the different  u-
nits of  his   prize   winning   collection.
Morrison county scored a total of 1085 points out of a possible 1,200, leading the nearest
compeditor in the central division by a healthy margin of 170
points and in advance of the
highest county of the southern
division by 11 points. Thus the
X and Butter county scored
high in the entire state, in a
of 24 counties,
Altho Mr. Logan is to be con-
gradulated for each individual
achievement, the fact that for
beauty of exhibit he was awarded 100 percent shows his ability
at "staging" his display after
he had gathered the best to be
shown and has   exercised   such

late give the farmer a special chance
to deal the quack grass some blows
that aid very materially in eradicating
it. If the ground was fall plowed and
the grass shows up strong, the best
thing to do in most cases is to plow it
again at a different depth than before.
This will turn the green part under.
Follow the plow with the di3e, running
it shallow, the idea being to pulverize
tho surface soil and allow the ground
to warm up so that the rocta under
neath will decay.
Discing should ba repeated often
enough to keep the surface pulverized j
and the grass from showing green !
above ground. In no case shoul* the •
land be worked when too wet. Such
severe treatment as this kills much of
the quack grass and weakens the rest.
If the ground is now planted to corn
or potatoes in hills and harrowed sev-
' eral times before cultivation begins
and the cultivation is frequent and
thorough, care being used to hoe out
, any quack grass that is not reached
1 by the cultivator, much cf the quack
grass will have been killed. Another
year or two of careful treatment-
good farming—should make the work
complete. If flax, buckwheat or millet is planted, the plan should be to
plow as soon as the crop is removed
and treated in fall and spring about as
outlined above.    Small spots may1 be

With average rtock, the horns
should be removed, as It Is much
easier to keep peace in the herd with
dehorned cattle. This may be done
in calfhood with caustic soda or potash. Clip the hair around the little
buttons, dampen the horn slightly, and
rub with a dry stick of potash. Separate the calves in little pens for a few
days so they cannot lick each other.
Do not turn them out in the rain dur
ing this time. When mature stock are
to be dehorned use a good, sharp meat
saw, taking the horns off close to tha
head so that they will not grow again.
Remove from one-quarter inch to one-
hSlf inch cf the hair with the horn,
which will prove to be about close
enough. Dehorning should be done
in the spring, or late fall, when there
aro no flies, but not in too cold weather.

The Minnesota Experiment Station
has found that success in handling
dairy cattle depends greatly upon
proper feeding. Much time has been
devoted to thi3 work by Professor T.
L. Haecker, and his investigation
thoroughly demonstrates the fact that
in order to get economical results the
grain feeds must be combined in the
proper proportions to form a balanced
ration. If grains alone that are high
in carbohydrates are fed, the cow will
take on fat, will not produce well, and
may eventually become spoiled. There
are three food essentials which must
be supplied in proper proportions-
protein, carbohydrates and fat. When
this is done, and the cow is made ab
eolutely comfortable, good results may
be expected at the pail.
