MORRISON IS SATISFACTORY
Transcript—Herman Wieland
of Buh town was in the city
Thursday. Mr. Wieland is one
of the well known and prosperous farmers of his section, but
early this summer decided to
look up another location in the
east. He visited Delaware,
Maryland and three other states
with a view of securing better
land and an ideal climate. He
was gone several weeks and on
his return decided that Morrison county afforded the ideal
climate and the best land to be
gotten. It is needless to add
that he will be a permanent resident of the county.

PROFIT IN COW-TESTING
ly  published    synopsis   of   the
work of a single Cow-Testing
Association.    The profit of one
herd of forty-five cows,  for th
five poor cows, with no returr
whatever, but he actually spent
upon them $29.61 of the money
earned bv the ten good cows.
He would have been far better
off had he keept only the ten.
It is to save the dairymar
from such needless misapplication of his energies, and to make
snre that every cow in his herd
shall contribu+e her proportion
-i te amount to his gross earnings,
that Cow-Testing Association"
have been called into existance
There are now probablv 10r
such associations in the United
States. Eaich member usually
navs $1 per cow per year for tie
services of the expert employed
to do the testing. To some, this
may seem a high figure, especially as the dairyman is expected to board and lodge the expert for the day given, once a
month, to the work. But thai
the outlay justifies itself is seer
from results.
The proper selection of the
herd, on the sole basis of the
production of milk and butterfat, is the foundation of successful dairying. Before the revelations of the scal.es and the Bab-
cock test, all judgments based
on form, breed or pedigree must
be related to innocuous desuetude. Only by the production
of milk in a sufficient amount
and of sufficient richness can a
cow justify her right to remain
in the herd. And the Testing
Association is the most convenient and inexpensive instrumentality for bringing her, at proper
intervals,     before     a    tribunal
shall remain or be fitted for the
hambles.

PIGS CAN HUSK CORN MORE PROFITABLY THAN FARMERS
There is no better way to fatten hogs, with profit to the own
er than to turn them loose in
the corn field and let them pick
the corn themselves. This is
what is called "hogging off
corn".
It has been found in experiments by the Minnesota Experiment station and by practical
farmers in all parts of the state
that this method of fattening
hogs is a profitable one. Everyone who has tried it agrees
that it is an economical method
of fattening pork. The time
required to husk and crib the
corn is saved. Not only that,
but the hogs get the corn when
it is fresh and more relished.
No wonder then that the Station found that more pounds of
pork could be made from a bushel of corn by "hogging off,"
than by eating- husked corn.
All that is necessary to make
the plan a feasible one is to obtain enough fencing to enclose
a small area of corn. It is not
advisable to give the hogs a
large field to run in at the outset. There will be too large a
waste. Twenty pigs weighing
100 pounds each, or their equivalent, should not be allowed to
run on more than one acre at a
time. On the average, an acre
of corn should last these pigs
from two to three weeks.
Hogs may be confined in the
field as long as weather is suitable. They should not be
turned in until the corn has ripened. Farmers should not hesitate to try this method of pork
production, for it has been
found entirely practical.—Farm

80 POTATOES IN ONE HILL
Transcript—S. J. Vasaly in
looking over the crop on his
farm and on the farm of his
brothers. S. ('. and L. W. Vasaly, near Gravelville, las found
some samples of potatoes which
would give Morrison an undisputed claim to the honor of being the banner spud county.
In one hill which Mr. Vasaly
dug on the farm of his brothers
he found HO potatoes of which
44 were huge enough for cooking. The tubers,, New York
Rurals, were planted on dune
11 and have not re*xched matur-
ity. The tops which were full
four feet in height, are still
green. On the same f.arm Mr.
Vasaly dut. another hill which
contained 21 spuds.
Mr. Vasaly had the potatoes
at the Commercial club meeting
Monday night where they attracted considerable attention.
Several potato buyers were
present and they pronounced
'the samples as something phen
'omenal. In their opinion the
potatoes will grow for another
month and double in size.
Mr. Vasaly has figured out
that an acre of potatoes in
which each hill contained 11 potatoes and reached a.n average
size would yield 1,408 bushels
while with 80 average sized
spuds in a hill an acre would
yield 2,560 bushels.

THAT SHOW
Tin- show   given in   the  Faust
Opera  house  last week-  tui
out to   be a cheap   affair   and a
fizzle. From the size and reading
of the posters, pal tons ol the
local shows were lead to expect
much more for their money.
Such fakers spoil the attendance of good legitimate shows.
This experience, however, has
[taught Mr.Faust a lesson. Here
after, he says, traveling shows
must produce what they advertise, and give sufficient evidence
ol their ability to do so, before
they will be allowed to take
people's money.
