BUYING GOOD DAIRY STOCK
In Gage county, the farmers thru
their county agricultural agent have
secured 54 pure-bred sires and 108
dairy cows. Previous to the agent's
arrival in the spring of 1913 there
were but three pure-bred dairy sires
in the county.
NEW DAIItY COURSE
A now course in dairying has been
added to the curriculum of the Uni
versity School of Agriculture at Lin
coln, according to the new catalog of
the school just issued. The course
deals with the management of the
dairv herd, the selection of feeds,
and the rjlannincr and cnuinment of
dairy buildings for the farm.
CROP RESIDUES WORTH $3.50 A TON
'Ts -tr4- Viii.n iir rt 1 La rtt efvflflP
jju nut jjuiu uuiiioiaino ui atiu
but plow under all crop residues,"
is the advice of the department of
agricultural chemistry at the Uni
versity Farm. Cornstalks and cat
straw are worth $3.50 a ton as fer
tilizers. Besides returning nitrogen,
phosforus, and potassium to the soil,
they help to improve the texture of
the soil by increasing the humus con
tents. CLUSTER BUD SPRAY
As soon as the buds in the clusters
of apple and pear trees begin to sep
arate and turn pink, it is time to
Bpray for scab, black rot, and vari
ous 'leaf -eating insects including the
spring cankerworm, according to the
College of Agriculture. The spray
consists of either of four pounds of
copper sulphate, four pounds of lime,
three pounds of arsenate of lead, and
water to make fifty gallons, or of
one and one-half gallons of commer
cial lime-sulphur, three pounds of
arsenate of lead paste, and water to
make fifty gallons.
STATE SERUM USED IN 71 COUNTIES
The Btate serum plant located at
the University Farm sold $73,450
worth of hog cholera serum last year.
The total number of orders was 2,722.
These were distributed over 72 coun
ties. As some large orders represent
several herds, the superintendent
thinks it probable that there were at
least 3,500 herds vaccinated with the
state scrum. Counties from which
50 orders were received were Boone,
Cedar, Dodge, and Webster; GO and
over, Knox, Nuckolls, and Thurston;
70 and over, Clay, Platte, and Val
ley: 80 and over. Cass. Madison, and
Saunders. From Saline county, 90
orders were received: Richardson,
114; Seward, 122; Hamilton, 137; and
Lancaster 170.
LOOK OUT FOR CANKERWORMS
Spring cankerworms give promise
of doing injury to both fruit and
shade trees this spring in Southeast
em Nebraska by devouring the fo
liage. The worms hatch from eggs
laid by wingless moths which crawl
up the trunks of the trees at night
to deposit them. A single female
may lay as many as 400 eggs. The
worms can readily be controlled by
placing a barrier of cotton and tree
tanglefoot around the trunk of the
tree before they begin to ascend.
This season these bands should be
applied immediately.
The tanglefoot may be purchased,
or may bo made according to the fol
lowing formula: Five pounds of res
in, three pints of castor oil, and
enough printer's ink mixed with
black Virginia oil or some other
heavy oil to mako tho mixture of the
right consistency to Bpread well and
and prevent its dying out. Colleger
of agricnlture, University Farm.
TENTH MORE WATER IN WHEAT FIELDS
Moisture determinations made by
the department of instructional ag
ronomy show that there is 10 per
cent more moisture in tho wheat
in tho wneat neiUB ana one-nan per
cent more moisture in the alfalfa
fields this spring than last at tho
University Farm. As compared with
a year ago the amount of precipita
tion received during the last five
months is 4.08 inches less.
In the alfalfa fields this spring tho
water is more evenly distributed
thru the first six feet than it has
been for the past two or three years
and will not be subject to immediate
evaporation. In the wheat fields
the greater part of the moisture is
in the first three and one-half feet of
soil and is not likely to move much
lower. The department believes
that with this supply of moisture tho
wheat should mako n good growth
and not become seriously deprived
of moisture unless tho months of
May and Juno are very dry.

Mr. Bartels had purchased on this

corn. Mr. Bartels claims to be one
of the first sheep feeders In this ter
ritory, stating that ho has been oper
ating for tho last twelve years. Tho
large end of his offerings have bpen
sent to this market and he says he
cannot Bay too much for thu treat
ment and prices received at Sioux
City. Every time he has consigned
sheep to this center ho has put a new
top on the market. Feeding sheep
is not the only stock operation Mr.
Bartels is engaged in. At present
he has six loads of cattle in his feed
lots that were bought at Sioux City
and two decks of hogs of his own

Sioux City Journal, 13: Capt.
G. Cownie, commander of tho Har

was torpedoed by a German subma-

councilman from the First ward in

attack upon his brother's ship were
seen in The Journal last night by Mr.
Cownie. According to dispatches
from London no casualties were
known to have occurred on thoWay-
iarer, wiiicn was strucK by tho tor
pedo somewhere off the Scilly islands
Sunday. Only meager reports of
tho incident were received in Lon
don. Tho Wayfarer is being towed
into Qucenstown. Capt. Cownie
was put in command of tho Way
farer at the opening of the war. lie
has been a sailor for nearly forty
years. He held tho rank of captain
with tho Harrison line for fifteen
years, Capt. Cownio left the
Custodian, of which ho, was com
manding officer, to remain in Liver

operation. When war was declared
tho Wayfarer was requisitioned by
tho British government for a trans
port and Capt. Cownio was placed
in charge. Tho South Sioux City
councilman has not heard, from his
brother directly since tho opening of
hostilities. Officers are not allowed
to write to pcoplo in this country,

Ponca Journal: Monday evening,
the westbound train got as fur as
Vista, and completed its journey to
Wynot Tuesday morning. While the
engine sidetracked to spot a cattle
car, the rails spread under the en
gine, and as a result, about eighty
passengers were "hung up" until
help arrived. Conductor Morin took
immediate action and sent word for
help. The train was delayed six
hours, and in that time Bro. Carpen
ter, one of Vista's live-wire mer
chants, made eonugh money to mako
Andrew Carnegie's fortune look like
a small collection of pennies. Some
of the passengers went to Sioux City
for the purpose of buying clothing,
etc., but would have been better off
to have purchased in their home
town, and saved pain and anguish.
The coaches, during the first three
hours were converted into dining
cars and club rooms, bountifully
decorated with tin cans, cracker box
es, can openers, banana peel and
dried beef glasses. The last three
hours, the cars underwent another
marvelous conversion, and became
well filled sleeping cars. Coming
from every corner of tho coaches,
were snores of various volume. In
fact, such a scene might be compar
ed with the eve proceeding a great
battle. At 11:45 another monstrous
mogul crept toward the scene of dis
aster, glaring defiance to all before
it, but condescendingly aided the
wayward engine to its normal place
on the rails. At 12:20 the train ar
rived at Ponca, and the writer hasti
ly begat himself to a downy bed, and
thence to land of wonderful dreams:
Moral: Buy at home, stay at home,
fire the section boss at Vista, or car
ry an extra engine in the tool box.
Emerson Enterprise: Henry Wil-
ke purchased a Buick touring
car from Nels Tolstrup last
week. .Miss Nellie Linafelter went
to Jackson Monday for a visit with
relatives The home of William
Voss, near Nacora, has been quaran
tined for scarlet fever. One of the
children is the victim. .Chas. Voss,
the white-face cattle man, living be
tween here and Homer, was in Em

way to Wayne . . James Heeney, of
Nacora, had one of his horses filled
full of shot one night last week. The
horse got out during the night and
some unprincipled fellow took his
spite out on the poor animal
Word came to Emerson Monday
afternoon that Miss Martha Zapp
had died in a hospital in Council
Bluffs, Ia. Miss Zapp had been in
comparatively good health up until
about a month ago when she became
ailing and the attending physician
thought it advisable to send her to a
hospital at that place where she could
receive proper care. Her death is a
great shock to a large circle of
friends as she was of a Bunny dispo
sition, loving and kind and had a
beautiful character. She had lived
the greater portion of her life here
and for years has been the efficient
operator of the hmerson telephone
exchange, and it is said of her that
she never lost her temper and was
always kind and accommodating to
the patrons. She was a past noble
grand of the Rebekah lodge of this,
place, under which organization the
funeral services were conducted
yesterday afternoon from tho Pres
byterian church, the funeral sermon
being preached by Rev. Lewis and
the remains laid to rest in Rose Hill
cemetery. The deceased was born
in Chicago, January 27, 1874, and
when seven years old came to Jack
son, and at the age of ten came to
Emerson. She is survived by her
mother and two brotheas Samuel,
of Fremont, and George of Winne
bago. Electric Apparatus
Donated to Schools
Mr. F. H. Eorrest, manager for
the Nebraska Telephono Co., nt Da
kota City, has presented to the coun
ty, an electrical apparatus for illus
trating purposes in tho physics class
es of our schools.
This apparatus is securely fasten
ed in a enso so that it may be trans
ferred from one school to another,
and in this way all schools in the
county may have tho use of it and
derive tho benefit of actual illustra
tions, which are invaluable to both
teachers and students.
In his interview with tho Herald,
Mr. Forrest states that he got the
idea of making up this apparatus
from tho students of our high school
physic class, whom he had taken
through the Iowa Telephone's Co's
plant at Sioux City. Realizing from
the questions tho students would ask
and the benefits thoy would derive
from seeing the actual working of a
great electrical plant, he has plan
ned out and assembled this condens
ed illustrating apparatus for helping
them to grasp the fundamental prin
ciples of electricity.
Mr. Forrest stated "I have always
been interested in helping the schools
and students along electrical lines,
in fact, it has always been my com
pany's policy to encourage all their
employes along educational lines,
und for that reason I havo a decided
advantage over oven our modern
schools, as I havo access to the best
equipped engineering stair in thu
world."
Mr. Forrest has been with the tel
phono company for seventeen years
and wo behove that tho experience
of his association with the telenhono
company would bo highly interesting
to our readers. Wo hopo to induco
him to write this story for us in the
near future.

"Our (Homer) Town"
I wonder if it ever occurred to the
tax payers of Homer how much could
be done to help and beautify qur
little village with the money that is
sent out of here for lecture courses
and Chautauqua's to say nothing of
the small fortune the saloon makes,
and when the town goes dry that al
so vanishes. Would one thousand a
year cover the loss to Homer from
the above mentioned? If next win
ter's lecture course has to have a
$400 guarantee, that is a clear cash
loss to the town with what benefit?
The intellectual food derived does
not amount to much. We could no
doubt get just as good entertain
ments from Sioux City for half the
outlay. Did you ever notice that
the promoters are not permanent
residents of Homer or tax navers
either. We believe charity begins
at home. Let us take some of the
hundreds that have been going out
and build that much talked of foot
bridge, fix up tbo city park, build a
new M. E. church the old ono could
be improved inside by a few dollars
going to tho tinting of tho walls.
1 am not a kicker on higher educa
tion. Very little that has come this
way and cost so much was much hst
ter than vaudeville. There were a
few exceptions, we will admit. There
fore let us boost Homer first, then
when wo get it on tho top shelf is
time enough to boost the outside
concerns. Let the Commercial club
think this over and boost ouk town,
our citizens, our schools, our church
es, our musicians, our entertain
ments. In fact take "Ovr Town"
for your motto. Three cheers for
Our Town, Our County, Our State,
tho best trio in the world.

SCHOOL NOTES.
CLEAN-UP DAY APRIL 24
The high school together with the
elementary grades is planning a clean
up day. The town will help and no
doubt you will do your share, which
includes your yards and alley and
any vacant lot owned by you.
Almost any town without intend
ing to permit it, allows rubbish and
waste material to accumulate during
the winter months. These places
become the breeding places for flies
and many other disease carrying in
sects and with warm weather will be
accompanied by repulsive odors.
Let us have a clean-up day. It
surely is a necessity to. the welfare
of the village. It is one of the most
effective ways of swatting the flies.
It is promoting your own interests,
while serving your neighbor in addi
tion to improving your town.
1 his is our scheme. Two teams
are needed. One team will be fur- ,
nished by the Commercial club. The
other we hope the village will fur
nish. Everybody whohasa lot ,of'
rubbish to be hauled away and' wlio i
will place it in boxes or barrels and ',
notify Mr. Neiswanger, Mr. Schmied
or Mr. Jacobson, will bo accommoj-1
dated first. That is if you will not?-
those people we will haul away your
rubbibh first and do it gratis.
However, if you don't make any
elTort to clean up, you will be charg
ed up at the rate of 25contsan hour.
That is if four boys work fifteen or
twenty minutes each for you, you
will be expected to pay for at least
an hours work, If you do all you
can to help us along, our work is
free. i
Now that you are thru reading
our scheme lay down your hammer,
for you can saw wood only with a
saw. And if you will do your share
we shall have the cleanest town in
northeast Nebraska. If you won't
doyour civic duty, it is about as bad
as any.
If you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of a town you like
Don't wait for your neighbor, quit
mosying around!
Grab a shovel, or rake and join in
the hike!
Its a knock at yourself, when you
knock at your town,
It isn't your town its you,
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest someone else get ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the dead.
And if, while you make your per
sonal stake
Your neighbors can make one ' two,
Your town will be the kind of a town
Like the kind, of a town you like.
Next week will be published a
symposium of the school on "What
Dakota City Needs."
