Large Crowd at the
Educational Train
The educational train conducted jointly by the Soo Line
and tlie State Experimental
Farm mad'' a two liours' stay
in New Pierz last Thursday
morning and drew a larg*e crowd
of farmers and interested villagers.
The exhibits, which were too
numerous to make mention of
separately, were, in spite of the
adverse criticisms heardhere and
there, the very best available.
Some of the specimens of live
stock may not have appealed to
the untrained eye as beautiful
animals, but to the g*ood judge,
they were without doubt, true to
their type in every detail of
form and color
Of .all the exhibits, that Yorkshire hog was probably one
of the most si riking.
Tlie Yorkshire is a bacon type.
Its sleek, long, round unwieldy
bony of 400 pounds, was in
strong contrast to the heavier
appearing lazy, flabby, lard Po-
l.and China of ii'25 pounds lying
in the^corner.
Does all this pay? is a question that was asked several
times in the writers' hearing.
Certainly! But you can't expect to go to a farm exhibit
with an empty pocket and return with a ten dollar bill, unless you hold somebody up.
The profit will come later by
stimulating farmers' interest in
better stock, better machinery,
better marketing, better and
more economical methods and
better and more comfortable
homes.
FAUST-WOLKE
Tuesday morning at nine
o'clock, Anthony Wolke and
Minnie, oldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Faust, were
married in the presence of a
large number of friends and relatives, in St. Joseph's church
by Rev. J. G. Stiegler.
J. N. Faust, the bride's brother, and Leo Wermerskirchen acted as groomsmen, and Theresa
Spanfellner, and Cresencia
Faust, sister to the bride, were
maids of honor.
The bride wore an embroidered net over silk messaline, a
hand embroidered veil and carried a bouquet of Lillies of the
Valley; the groom wore a bouquet of Lillies of the Valley
and white roses.
The wedding dinner was
served at the Faust home.
The wedding dance held in
the opera house in the evening
drew a large crowd.
Mr. and Mrs. Wolke will make
their home in Pierz, where the
groom has a well established
dray business and where both
are well and favorably known.
Their many friends wish that
their path may be so profusely
spread Avith roses as to hide all
semblance of thorns.

Complaint has  been   received
this fall   that   spring   wheat   is
coming    into   the    Minneapolis
market containing a mixture of
rye. The mixture is  caused   by
growing    wheat   on    land   that
raised rye last year, the rye ap*
pearing   as   a    volunteer   crop.
The rye in the wheatis detrimental to its value for flour-making
purposes   and   the   millers   and
grain buyers naturally discriminate -against   the   mixture.  It   is
suggested that trouble along this
line can be avoided byfollowing
the rye crop with a coarse feed
crop or with a hay crop  if  possible.Thiscan easily be provided
for by the   proper   arrangement
of crop in rotation. A   six   year
rotation   of   rye,   timothy*   and
clover, pasture, corn, wheat,and
o<ats, or  a  seven-year  rotation
of wheat,   timothy   and   clover,
pasture, corn,  wheat,   rye,   and
oats,   would   be     salisfactory,
where these crops can   be used.
It is somewhat more difficult   to
have the oats  follow  rye  in  a
short rotation if the grasses are
used. A crop   rotation must   always be arranged with a view to
the kind of farming that a person
is doing and to supply the   feed
and market demands.   It is  believed that the mixture of rye in
the spring wheat is  serious enough to justify sowing   oats   or
feed barley after the r3*e   crop,
or using rye as a nurse   crop   in
seeding down. —Andrew Boss.

BOYS ENTER SCHOOL BY WINDOW
Peter Gau of Granite informs
us, that three young men not
long ago entered the school
house in District 55, through a
window.
They did not break the window, but, in regular yeggman
fashion, took out a pane by removing the putty, pulled the
spring, raised the sash and entered single file. After taking
a hasty survey of the
old familiar walls, and a disdainful glance at the rod whose
sting was once their daily due,
they made their exit as quietly
as they entered. The pane of
glass was replaced. As far as
anybody knows no damage was
done in the building, but the
well was filled with stones.
For the following week the
boys were very alert and nervous during the day and sleepless at night. Their anxiety increased as election day approached, for the popular name
of Armstrong was ever in their
hearing.
As time wore on and they
were treated and greeted in the
usual manner by their neighbors and acquaintances, this
youthful trio of would-be-burglars felt more secure and again
assumed their customary places
in the society of the neighborhood.
Success begets confidence;
confidence sometimes begets indifference and often imprudence.
It was "too good to keep",
however, and one of the boys
told a very intimate friend all
about the burglarious expedition. Now, the friend had a very close friend, and this friend's
friend also had a very good
friend, and thus the truth came
to the ears of the school  board-
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
The village council met in
special session Monday, Nov.
llth, at 8 o'clock p. m. All
members were present. The
Judges of Election presented the
rep'ort of the special election,
held Saturday, Nov. 9th, showing 88 voted in favor, and 4
voted against borrowing I
from the state at four percent.
The report was accepted.
A motion was made by J. M.
Blake and seconded by Anton
Tembreull, thnt there shall be no
so-called mimimum fixed rate
for consumers of electricity, but
that "25 cts. meter rent be charged
consumers who use 75 cents
worth or less a month*, and if
more than 75 cents worth is used
only enough will be added for
rent to make the total one dollar. In this form the motion
was passed by the council.
It was further decided that
the village will charge 1(1 cents
per kilowat if paid by the first
of the month; if not paid by the
first of the month a charge of 11
cents per kilowat will be made.
The meters will be read and bill
sent about the :25th of every
month.

CARE OF THE DAIRY HERD
The following are a few extracts taken from the book on
Milk and Feed Records. To properly care for a dairy herd, good
care and good management must
be combined. The work required
to care for a dairy herd, if there
is no system, is drudgery; and
unless there is business management,itis unprofitable. " 'I want
cows inmy herdthat will freshen
every year, give milk at least
ten months every year, and give
product worth 100 per cent more
then the cost of the feed, if I am
to be paid for my labor. When a
dairyman looks at it in this
light, he has an idea of business
dairying, and is in a position to
master the principles that will
bring him the best results" The
care of a dairy herd may begin
early in the morning, but it
should never be late at night."
" The principles of good management will not permit ' John'
to help ' Jim' inthe barn. 'John'
should have some particular
things to do in the barn; he
should milk certain cows, clean
out the barn, feed the calves or
do some other definite part of
the dairy work, whatever it may
be," Good management always
looks into the future in the care
of a dairy herd. There is poor
management, if the heifers that
are being raised are poorer than
theirmothers. Good management
makes a comfortable and convenient barn necessary. An expensive building, however is
not required to provide comfort
and convenience. Alogbaromay
be ascomfortable and convenient
as an expensive one. A barn to
be comfortable, must have sunlight, warmth, and ventilation
and must have a dry floor. A
barn to be convenient must be
so arranged that the work can
be done easily and in the least
time." And most important of
all, to get all the profit there
is in such a well managed herd
of cows, the cream shouldalways
be taken to the Farmers Creamery in Pierz where the highest
prices are paid.
