counties in the southern and central
parts of the state and a nine-day
quail season from October 30 to November'7, for five counties jn the extreme southeastern corner of the state were announced last week by Herman C. Wenzel, Commissioner oi

Shooting will be allowed from 12
o'clock noon each day until 5 p. _».,

team defeated the Backus youtns at
the latters diamond last Tuesday by
a score of 4-1.

for Pine River and Nicholson did
the heavy work behind the bat. V.
Stanley retired the Backus boys on
three successive strike-outs in the
second frame; while M. Cadwell
garnered four hits out of four trips
to the plate. This Is the second da-
feat the Backus boys have suffered
by the Pine River sluggers.
AID HORSES WITH
SLEEPING SICKNESS
In conferring with Dr. Mack, State Veterinarian, County Agent Oscar
Nelson, obtained some information in
regard to sleeping sickness. He was
advised that plenty of cold water
and a frame built to keep the horses
on their feet and their head in a normal position, was a great aid in combating the disease. Files and mos-
quitos should be kept away and the
Infected -horses should be isolated if
possible. A screen or net over the
infected horses will help prevent the
spread of the disease as it is carried
by flies and mosquitos from one infected horse to another.' The duration of the disease is from three days
to three weeks depending on the
hprse  affected.
Mr. Nelson also inquired about a
disease of horses, cattle and $heep,
cadled Infectious )StomatItu_, and
was informed that this disease does
not kill animals but lasts a long time
if not arrested in the early utages.
A 2 per cent solution of Potassium
Permanganate is a very satisfactory
treatment. The affected parts should
be washed often with the solution. It
is also advisable to wash the mouths
of the affected animals three or four
times daily until the disease has been
checked.
Jim Gilbert of Wadena, was the
week-end guest of his grandmother,
Mrs. H. S. Gilbert.
