Does the sparrow do any good? Ans. Dr. W. B. Bell, N. Dak. Agr. College. If the questioner means the intro duced English or House Sparrow, lit tle can be said in its favor as the lit tl« good that it does by catching occa sional insects and eating a few weed seeds is more than counter-balanced by the harm it does in driving out and interfering with the nesting of other birds and littering up drains and gut ters on our houses. Our native sparrows of which we have many kinds, however, are among our most valuable birds. They are our greatest weed-seed destroyers and save the farmers of the United States many million dollars annually. Among our valuable sparrows the fol lowing ones may be mentioned: White-throated, White-crowned, Ves per, Song, Grasshopper, Tree, Field, Lark-sparrow, Dickcissel, Goldfinch, ^jarkbunting, Chipping, Harris, Jun co, Savanna and Swamp. Many peo ple do not distinguish one kind of sparrow from another. Hence no person, boy or adult, should start on an indiscriminate sparrow killing cru sade. In case you want to wage a war of extermination upon the English sparrow be absolutely sure you know them, male and female, from our val uable native sparrows which should be protected. Q.

Where there is only a small amount of cream each day, keep each separ ation by itself till it cools to about 50 degrees before mixing it with the cold cream. If warm cream be mixed with cold cream bad flavors are sure to de velop. They will develop anyway if the cream is kept too long, so it is best to churn as often as every three days. Q. Is it possible to can corn with out using canning powder? Ans. Jessie M. Hoover, N. Dak. Agr. College. Corn is difficult to can because the bacteria found on it has spores which are quite resistent to heat. However, with care it can be done. Use fresh corn and by splitting the grains the pulp can be pressed out. Have the fruit jars thoroughly clean—add a lit' tie water and fill the jar almost full The corn may be salted to taste. Put the cover on—set onto a rack in the bottom of an ordinary wash boiler. Boil for four hours, let cool and then on the next day boil again for two hours and set away. Q. How warm should the poultry house be kept in the winter time? Ans. O. W. Dynes, N. Dak. Agr. College. The question of warmth is not more important than the question of proper ventilation in fact the two problems become one so far as the poulry men are concerned. No attempt should be made to keep the house above the freezing point at the expense of venti lation. It should not be so cold that the combs or toes are nipped. If the house is kept free from dampness and ®be IDope HOPE, STEELE COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA, NOVEMBER 3rd, 1910 Hope Opera House WEDNESDAY, NOV. 9tl) C. S.

The effects of poor ventilation in cow stables upon the development of flavors in milk is not always well un derstood by milk producers. As a rule if the animal is in proper health the milk will be normally pure when first drawn. But if the cow is milked in an unclean stable which is filled with vitiated air the milk will be con taminated and undesirable flavors rapidly develop. Good Singing and Dancing.

In an endeavor to determine the re lation between poorly ventilated cow stables and the development of bad flavors in milk, the writer made ex tensive investigations with quite defin ite results. The plan of the experiment was to obtain samples of milk from cows kept and handled by methods com monly found in barns where no sys tem of ventilation was provided. These samples were collected in the stables as the cows were milked, put into sterilized glass jars and kept for several days in surroundings where no further contamination was possible. Each sample was examined regularly every twelve hours with the following results which are an average of Che findings from several hundred sam ples: Wellventi- Poorly venti lated stables lated stables Per cent Per cent Clean natural sour flavor 93 3« Stable flavors 0 45 Stale musty flavors 0 17 Slightly ensilage flavors 7 0 It will be noted that only 38 per cent of the milk from the poorly ventilated stables gave a clean flavor and that 62 per cent of the milk showed a most filthy contamination. If the cows are kept and milked in unsanitary sur roundings, the milk will absorb the stable odors before it can be removed to the milk room as these results plainly indicate. The presence of an ensilage flavor was detected in a few samples from the well ventilated barns however, this flavor passed off within a short time leaving no objectionable effects. In case of the poorly ventilated sta bles if any such flavor was present it was entirely covered up by the very objectionable stable flavors. In every case where stable flavors were detect ed, it was a noticeable fact that they increased with the age of the milk. This was due to the fact that such flav ors are produced from the rapid de velopment of the undesirable bacteria. These results only emphasize the vital necessity of having pure air in cow stables and in abundance. All that is required is to have the stables properly ventilated, which can be done with very little expense. Fresh pure air is an absolute necessity both from the standpoint of health of the animals and the production of pure, clean and wholesome milk. Water the Trees. Trees evaporate water at all times, less in winter than in summer. When the ground is dry as it is this fall the tree may have a hard time getting enough moisture from the soil to take the j)lace of what evaporates. If it can not, the sap dries up and the tree dios. This is the most common form of tree killing. Fruit trees and other trees that are not very hardy should be both watered any mulched. The roots of a tree extend out as far as the branches, so water and mulch accord ingly- Lecture Course. The Woman's Club is again pre senting a strong course of entertain ments for the winter.

According to the Grand Forks Her ald, if the man you voted for at the primary election is defeated, then you are justified in supporting the man on the opposition ticket. If this is cor rect, it is only a short time until there will be no primary election law, or no parties—and each candidate will have to run on an individual platform, and a great assortment of statesmen will be the result. Sharon Reporter: Ruth and Alma Loony, of Hope, sisters of Mrs. Sevrin Severson, ar rived in Sharon last Saturday for a short visit with Mr. and Mrs. Sever son. County News An exchange tells this: "A farmer at Lloydminster, Sask., has ai'emark able barn. When he built it he used green willow posts at the corners and along the sides and'the following sea son he found that the willows had struck root and were growing. At the end of the year the Hour of the barn had risen three feet above the ground. A year ago last spring the barn was on stilts nine feet high, so the farmer put in another iloor and converted it into a two-story building. At the end the same price as last year.

Eagle, Willow City, Oct. 14: "The "Prince of Sweden" which showed at Willow City last night was one of the best Swede attractions ever playing this city. Carl Olson, who plays the part of the Prince, is decid edly clever. Ralph E. Nicol, taking the part of the colored gentleman plays his part to perfection. In gen eral the whole company are clever performers and deserve full houses wherever they appear." Eddy County Provost, New ROCK ford, N. D. Oct. 13: "A Prince of Sweden," a com pany of much merit, headed by Carl Olson, a clever impersonator of the Swedish race as seen in America, de lighted a packed house at Brown's Opera House Saturday evening. An abundance of humor kept the audience in smiles from start to finish while the coon songs rendered by Ralph Nicol won the hearty applause of all." No. 32 of the year the new floor was several: inches above the ground, and the farmer looks forward to the time when a third and possibly a fourth, story may be added to his very re markable barn."

Morrish and W. J. Lorshbough are themen behind the First National bank once more, a deal having been made this week, whereby they have acquired a con trolling interest in the institution, they taking charge Tuesday. Negotiations have been pending for the past several weeks toward a change in the stockholders of this in stitution, it being understood at one time that the Farmers State bank had bought a controlling interest in the First National and that the two insti tutions would be consolidated. The deal failed to materialize, however, with the result that the above men tioned gentlemen again secured con trol of their first banking institution. We understand that the new men se cured control through the purchase of the stock held by J. D. Brown, of Minneapolis, who retires from any connection with the bank. The institution will be officered as follows: President—L. B. Hanna. Vice President—W. J. Morrish. Cashier—W. J. Lorshbough. Asst. Cashier—L. B. Smith. The return of Messrs. Hanna, Mor rish and Lorshbough to the business interests of the village is a source of much gratification to their many friends here, as they have always been actively interested in anything taken up for the welfare of the town, and it also assures us that Page will be made the home of two of the gen tlemen and their families in the future.
