from parties outside the county with
regard' to the merits of this wheat
have been answered by the Farm
Bureau office and more than ten cars
are known to have been ordered- as a
result of this correspondence. Many
inquiries are still coming and it now
pretty well assured that practically
all of it will be used for seed purpos

seed should make their wants known
at the Farm Bureau office in the
near future.
The carload of Holstein cows have
now been placed, all but two going
to parties who have a silo as well as
an abundance of other feed. Ten

IN REGARD TO BLACKLEG
Hides of animals Jdying from
Blackleg or other contagious dis
eases must be immersed in either a
5 per cent solution of liquor cresolis
or 5 per cent solution of carbolic
-jkcid, before shipping.
The law provides that .all animals
8ying of blackleg or other contagi
ous disease must be buried within
three days after death to a deptn
of. four feet or. more. Complete burn
ing will do as well. In-.-case the an
imals are buried it is Jieat to add
qnicklime to the carcass. A fine
from $25 to. $100 may Jub imposed
on ^failing to comply with the law,
but all should feel sufficiently inter
'esty$l In the livestock industry to'
help check the spread of tEhese dis
eases to try to eliminate the cause.
SKOINO OF VEGETABLES

that tltae. material will not fce scorch

should not exceed 145 degrees.
k
Parsnips, carrots or beets are suf
ficiently dry when the .pieces break
when one attempts to bend them
iand when they show no moisture
upon being pressed between the
'figers. Of course thite does not say
that all parts of the trays of slices
is dry as there are always parts that
are still moist. So tfhe next process
is to dry it entirely. This is don's
by placing the slices in a room or
some where they will not be disturb
ed or affected with a strong light.
Also some place must be selected
where no insects .ccn come in contact
with it, for this would spoil all the
previous work. They should lay in
this room tor about ten days and
then can be platted in containers,
and stored away tor future use. The
containers shoulfl'be reasonably air
tight.
Turnips, eabtoage, onions, sweet
potatoes, pumpkins, squash, toma
toes, sweet corn/beans and peas are
all vegetables that can be dried sat
isfactorily and the general method is
about the same, the difference being
in the preparation arid the temper
ation of the -drying "process.

CULLING THE POULTltV FLOCK
(iBy Enoch J. Peterson, Poultry
IHusbandman, N. D. Agric. College.)
Culling serves three purposes.
First, it increases the profits as the
feed will be consumed by the better
producing hens. Second, it makes it
possible to save thoBe b&st suited for
breeders. Third, weeding out the
poor hen gives those left more room
and a better chance.
Culling should be continuous
About the i throughout the year. Any hen that
shows evidence of non-production,
weakness, or poor vitality should be
culled from the flock.
simplest method is to take the trays
of slices and place them on racks
in the oven of the cook stove. The
trays should be so placed on the
racks so as not to come in direct con
tact with the oven wall. The door
should be left open so that the wa
ter vapor driven off may pass out, it is in August or September
Before carrying the birds through
•another season keep the following
rules in mind when making your se
lections:
Market those which seem to lack
vitality.
Keep the late monitors. i
A POTATO GROWERS
ASSOCIATION
It is planned to call a meeting of
the potato growers of this county
sometime in the near future to con
sider the advisability of organizing
local potato grower's associations
to affiliate with the State Potato
Growers Exchange. At the same
time it is planned to have samples
of twenty potatoes from each of the
contestants In the Fried Land Co.
potato contest and prizes will be
awarder at that time.
The potato industry is fast devel
oping in this county and no section
of the country is better adapted to
potato growing than this. Some
good yields have been secured this
year.
The most serious handicap at th.?
present time is the marketing end
of the game. We "believe that with
a potato warehouse and membership
in The North Dakota Potato Grow
er's Exchange, we can do much to
relieve this condition.
