NEW BREEDERS' DIKECTOKY ISSUED
The breeders' directory of the Ne
braska Improved Live Stock Breed
ers' Association has just been issued
and may be obtained by applying to
Secretary H. J.Gramlich, University
Farm. Lincoln. This directory con
tains a list of the breeders of various
kinds of live stock, the new state
live stock laws, the names of the
breed registry associations, and the
rules for registering animals.
AUTOMOimE HINTS
Be sure that storage batteries are
kept fdled with pure water. In case
distilled water is not available, rain
water, which has not come in con
tact with metal nines, should be us
ed. The batteries should be exam
ined each week whether the machine
is used or not.
Electric irenerators should be m-
snected to make sure that thedesir
ed current is flowing into the storage
battery. In case the proper current
i3 not found, the copper commutator
should be cleaned by means of a
cloth soaked in gasoline. This is best
done by alllowing the gas engine to
run while the cloth is held against
the revolving commutator. Depart
ment of Agricultural Engineering,
University Farm.
WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA
Much of the alfalfa in Southeast
ern Nebraska has been cut. It has
been observed that the fanners are
using as a guide the starting of new
shoots at the base of the plants rath
er than waiting for the plants to get
a tenth in bloom, the common index
for cutting. Very frequently the
first cutting is greatly retarded in
bloom beyond the time new shoots
appear. If the farmer delays the
first cutting, experience at the Uni
versity Farm shows that there may
be considerable new growth cut off,
which not only retards the second
cutting but makes it become coarse
and woody. Occasionally an entire
cutting is lost in a season by this de
lay.
FEEDING SKIM MILK TO CALVES
A calf of ordinary vigor can be
put on a skim milk diet at the age of
two or three weeks. The change to
skim milk should be gradual. This
change is best made by substituting
a pound of skim milk for a pound of
whole milk at each feed until the
caif is receiving only skim milk.
The amount of skim milk fed
should be the same as that of the
whole milk which it replaces. This
will usually be 10 or 12 pounds for a
calf 2 or 3 weeks oldt A gradual in
crease in the milk should be made as
the calf grows, until at the nge of 5
months it is receiving 1G to 20 pounds
daily, depending upon the size of the
calf. Bulletin Wo. MM, Agricultural
Experiment Station of Nebraska.
FAKMEItS' INSTITUTES LIMITED
All farmers' institutes are to be
cut down to one-day sessions and but
two speakers will be furnished by
the state. This action on the part
of the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice is made necessary owing to a
lack of funds. The decision docs
not come as a surprise to those fa
miliar with tne worK, inasmuch as
the report of the Board of Regents
of the University of Nebraska, laid
before tho last legislature read in
part, "If the amount given two
years ago for agricultural extension
in Nebraska, including farmers' in
stitutes, is not increased, it will be
necessary to drop part of tho work
of farmers' institutes." Tho legis
lature did not increase tho amount
If more than a one-day institute is
desired, the Extension Service will
recommend speakers. All expenses,
however, must be met locally.
SEVEN FAIRS TO GET AGHICULTUIIAL
EXHIIHTS
Six county fairs and tho stato fair,
of the ilO associations making appli
cation, will receive tho exhibit of
the College arid University School of
Acrrlculture and Agricultural Expcr
iment Station this fall. Tho county
fairs to obtain the exhibit are those
of Hamilton, Pawnee. Platte. Webs
ter. Nemaha and Jefferson counties.
As fourteen of the county fair asso
ciations applying hold their fairs the
same week this year, about half the.
total number of applicants had to bo
eliminated. No fair that received
the exhibit last year will have it this
year except tho Nemaha county fair.
The Nemaha county association was
the only applicant for tho first week
in October. Selections of the fairs
was made by a committee of the
County Fair Managers' Association
in conference with the directors of
the Agricultural Extension Service,
University Farm.
GOOD COMPRESSION ESSENTIAL
To secure efficiency for the umto
mobile engine, good compression is
essential. A lack of compression is
due to one or more of the following
causes: (1) Leaky spark plug or
valve caps, (2) leaky valves, (3)
leaky priming cups, (4) poor cylin
der rings, and (B) scarred cylinders.
Department of Agricultural En
gineering, University of Nebraska.
BIRD STUDY OUTLINED
Six lessons for the study of birds
Jmvfi been issued by the Extension
Service of the College of Agricul
ture. The topics of the lessons in
clude resident birds, winter resi
dents, early spring migratory arri
vals late snrine migratory arrivals.
and additional notes on the birds to
iu iutarthed for in June. The out
line contains a bibliography of books J
and pamphlets, many of which may t
be obtained free or at a nominul
coat. The outline is prepared speci-
ally for use in women's clubs but
may be had by anyone interested
upon application to the Agricultural
Extension Service, University Farm,
Lincoln.
SETTING COLORS IN CLOTH
Colors in washable clothing may
be set before washing by the use of
the following directions: for yel
low, tan, and brown fabrics use a cup
of vinegar to a pail of water. For
blue, lavender, and green fabrics,
use an ounce of alum to a gallon of
water. For blue, red, pink, and
black fabrics, use a cup of salt to
a pail of water. Department of
Home Economy, University of Ne
braska. (SHOW OVKK 100 CHOI' SPECIMENS
Practically every farm crop that
can be grown on the United States
may be seen at the University Farm.
With careful effort over 100 varie
ties of grasses, legumes, cereals, and
miscellaneous plants have been
grown from year to year for the use
of students and for general inspec
tion. In the list are included the
various snecies of sweet clover,
manv kinds of sorchum, and other
crops which are being watched with
considerable interest.
BULLETIN ON BEEF PRODUCTION
The results of experimental steer
feeding carried on at the Agricultu
ral Experiment Station from 1912 to
1914 recently published show again
that a ration of corn and alfalfa hay
produces the cheapest gain of any
ration used. Furthermore, the
steers fed corn and alfalfa hay made
as rapid gains as did the steers on
any other ration. Cold pressed cot
tonseed cake did not give as good
results as regards either rate of gain
or economy of grain as did alfalfa
hay in a fattening ration. The ad
dition of cold pressed cottonseed
cake to a ration of corn, silage, and
alfalfa increased the cost of gain
and lowered the profits on the steers.
The bulletin may be had without
cost by residents of Nebraska up
on application for bulletin No. 151
to the Bulletin Clerk, University
Farm, Lincoln.
HOW TO CAN GREENS
Spinach, dandelion, mustard, beet
tops, and Swiss chard should be pre
pared and canned the day they are
picked. After cleaning they Bhould
be blanched for 10 to 20 minutes.
Blanching is done by placing the
greens in a wire basket or in cheese
cloth and plunging into hot water
or better still by steaming the greens.
Blanching will set the coloring mat
ter, make the texture more firm,
and eliminate objectional acids.
Next plunge the greens into cold
water. They may then be cut for
table use and seasoned with a slice
of bacon, if desired. Next pack in
glass jars. Add hot water and a
little salt. Then put on the rubber
and the top and partially tighten.
Place the jars in a wash boiler or
large kettle containing a false bot
tom. The water should come over
the tops of the jars. Boil for 90
minutes. The false bottom, which
may consist of wooden slats, or metal,
will prevent the jars from coming in
direct contact-with the heated metal.
After boiling, allow the water to cool
partially, remove 'from the bath,
tighten the lids, and invert to cool.
If tho jars are wrapped in paper,
the fruit will not lose its color. If
the washboiler method is not used,
boil CO minutes in a water-seal out
fit, 50 minutes in a pressure outfit
under five pounds of steam, or 25
minutes under 15 pounds of steam.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
WILFRED E, VOSS. SUPT,
The state superintendent has
granted a special teachers' examina
tion for June, to be given at the op
tion of each county superintendent
concerned. It will be given in this
county at the usual time of the
month, the third Friday and the Sat
urday following. Teachers should
avail themselves of this opportunity
to get all examination requirements
for certificates out of tho way, if at
all possible. Much trouble may bo
avoided by planning to use tho July
examination only to earn grades in
the subjects in which one lias failed.
Each holder of a county certificate
or of an elementary state certificate
should look it, over at this time to
see when it expires and note the re
quirements for renewal. Every one
holding a plain certificate, and not
now attending a summerschool, may
now show his professional spirit too
this year by raising the grade or
class of his certificate by examina
tion. Since many of the papers of Ne
braska advertised the date of the an
nual school meeting as the first Mon
day in June, it becomes necessary to
attempt again to correct thiaerro
neous statement. The timo for the
annual school meeting is tho second
Monday in June. The date is the 14 th
of June this year.

Sioux City Journal, 5th: Designa
tion of two motor car routes in north
eastern Nebraska, with Sioux City
as their terminus, is expected by
Commercial club officials to improve
transportation facilities from farm
districts and towns in that section of
the state. The new routes will ex
tend from O'Neill and Norfolk to
Sioux City, and will tap a rich farm
ing district which at present has
rather poor highway access to Sioux
City. Definite headway on the new
lines was made at a meeting at
Wayne, Neb., at which reports of
committees named to select the most
feasible routes, were received. The
route from O'Neill to Sioux City will
pass through Jackson, Vista, Allen,
Dixon, Laurel, Belden, Plainview,
and O'Neill. The Sioux City-Norfolk
line will be Dakota City, Homer,
Emerson, Wakefield, Wayne, Win
side, Hoskins and Norfolk. Differ
ent towns touched by the two routes
will undertake tho work of provid
ing the roadB with proper markings.
The Sioux City-Norfolk road will be
designated by six-inch black circle
around telephone poles with a ten
inch white mark beneath and eight
feet above the level of the road. A
six-inch white circle above eight in
ches of blue and eight feet above
the ground will be used for the mark
ings on tho road from Sioux City to
O'Neill. Included in the plan for
marking each route is a provision
for danger signals, indicating the
direction of railroad crossings and
perilous curves in the road. The
danger signals will be painted on
white boards in four-incli letters.
Committees have been appointed
from each town reached by the new
roads, to' look after the marking and
improvement work. W. E. Holmes,
secretary of i the Commercial club,
said last night that the organization
had interested itself, in the promo
tion of the new automobile routes.

Sioux City Journal, 3: Misa Lula
Mennerich's marriage to Mr. George
Rockwell, of Homer, Neb., took
place Tuesday at noon in the home
of the brule a parents, Mr. and Mrs.
H. L. Mennerich. Rev. David R.
Huber officiated. Miss Frieda Min
nerich, a sister of the bride, and Mr.
John Rockwell, a brother of the
groom, were the only attendants.
The bride's gown was of white crepe
de chine and her maid of honor wore
a Rownof pale pink de chine. A
wedding breakfast followed the cere
mony. Mr. and Mrs. Rockwell will
make their home in Homer, Neb.,
after a short visit in Chicago. Miss
Sarah Davis, of Nashville, Tenn.
and Miss Ruth Gannaway, of Cham

Sioux City Journal, 7: Nearly
1,000 persons attended the formal
opening of Crystal lake yesterday.
The attendance was considerably
larger than had been expected.
Heavy rains Saturday made roads to
the resort almost impassable. Feat
ures of the opening day were a shoot
and a baseball game between the
Keen Kutters of Sioux City and the
Crystal lake club. The ball game
was won by the Sioux City players.
The score was 15 to 2. Much inter
est was centered in tho shoot, which
was held south of Crystal lake ball
park. More than 1,500 blue rocks
were smashed. The rocord for tho
day was set by Harry Howard, of
Crystal lake, who smashed forty-nine
out of fifty "birds." Because of re
cent rains, which made the waters
cool, little bathing was done. Fish
ing was popular. A number of per
sons caught tho maximum number
of fish allowed by the Nebraska state
game lawn. Fishing will be better
this year than for many seasons, be
cause the lake has been cleared of
the undesirable carp and buffalo, it
is believed. Most of the resort vis
itors came in the afternoon. The
park grounds weie not in condition
to permit picnicking during the en
tire day,
Sioux City Journal. 8: Miss Ma
rion Eimers, the 8-year-old daughter
of Judgo J. J. Eimers, of South
Sioux City, submitted to an opera
tion for removal of the tonsils at the
Samaritan hospital yesterday. . . . .
The South Sioux City council last
night ignored the problem of select
ing a chief of police. The question
was not even referred to by either
the mayor or individual councilmen,
but four corporations were bombard
ed by resolutions, Councilman Fred
From the Scout Camp
Yes, Mr. Editor, you made a mis
take in being born so long ago yon
missed the Boy Scouts of America.
Of course you are a pretty good fel
low, but just think what you might
have been.
Tell you about our camp? Get out
your pencil. Ready? HoregoeB. If
there is one thing great in this world
it is the scout camp. We piled all
our junk on a "wagon and startod off.
None of us1 had ever been to camp
before, but Mr. Aucock had camped
with scouts lots of times and know
the ropes. Our first supper was not
very great because our cooks were
so excited they stuck their thumbs
in the , eggs (their thumbs
were not sterilized) and burned the
potatoes. . After supper the Scout
Master told us a dandy ghost story,
and then read the guards for the
night. Then to bed. It was no fun
being roused out of a good sleep to
go on guard.
Next morning we were up very
early, Mr. Aucock said boys always
got up early first morning, but after
that their beds looked good. We all
went fishing and our expert fisher
man landed a big pickerel and sat on
Ins stomach till Keith hvans came to
to the rescue. Keith yelled "Hold
on Floydey," and Floyd gritted his
teeth and said "You bet I'll hold on."
You need not ask the preacher to
prove how heavy he was because a
scout always speaks the truth.
We had a great day! Two of us
were cooks, two camp cleaners, two
dishwashers, two wator carriers.
Some of us thought wo could dodge
our job, but Mr. Aucock soon show
ed us that the easiest and quickest
way was just to get busy. After
we learned this lesson things
went along fine. We spent our time
fishing, swimming, running, jump
ing, and doing all kinds of things.
We had some dandy meals and I
guess our boys are some cooks.
Some folks sent us down bread, cakes,
chicken, and all kinds of good things.
You bet we appreciated it and won't
forget it. Wo owe a lot to Mr.
Krumwiede for the use of his cot
tage. Mr. Aucock was mighty particu
lar to have things kept clean and
tidy, and would fetch us back from
our games if we left anything lying
about; but I guess it was the best
way. Well we had a dandy time
and we all enjoyed it. We will show
folks some day that our time was
not wasted. Guess that is all that 1
can say now. Tenderfoot.

We Are Called a "Big Corporation"
The phrase, "big corporation," is
often used as if one were describing a
certain individual reputed to have
horns.
There are bad corporations and
good corporations, just as there are
bad men and good.
Some corporations in the past have
done things that, in the name of jus
tice, they had no right to do; but all
corporations should not suffer for the
sins of a few.
But times have changed. The corpo
ration is a dandy that gets away with
anything that it should not in these
days of the vigilant press., the watch
ful public and the various state and
national public service commissions.
Today the public are watching the
corporations closer than any cat ever
watched at a rat hole; but no corpo
ration that intends to be on the square
objects to being watched.
Big business means more economy,
greater efficiency and intelligent or
ganization. It means better service
at a less cost to the public.
Merely being a "big corporation"
should not be considered a crime.
This company is big because it has
to be. A child can't do a man's work.
This company must be big to do a big
job to render big service to you.
