LIST OF 70 BULLETINS PRINTKD
Seventy different bulletins on va
rious agricultural subjects are now
offered by the Experiment Station
and Extension Service of the College
of Agriculture to residents of Ne
braska, according to an available list
just published. This list is known
as Extension Circular 3 and may be

Clerk, Univrsity Farm.
WHAT TO WITH STICKY WINDOWS
In case a window frame has been
painted so that it cannot be raised,
it may be loosened by running the
edge of a case or putty knife be
tween the sash and the stop.
If a window is raised with diffi
culty, it may be loosened by rubbing
a piece of moistened soap on the Btop
or by adding a few drops of machine
oil on the stop or jamb. College of
Agriculture.
HOG CHOLERA DISINFECTANT
While it is never wise to visit hog
lots known to be infected with hog
cholera unless necessary, the spread
of the disease thru this common
meancs may be prevented by clean
ing the shoes and then washing them
with n good disinfectant. Liquor
Cresolis compound, 1 part to 32 of
water, or Cooper's Fluid. 1 part to
39 of water, is a good disinfectant
to use. If a man drives his team
and wagon thru a lot where cholera
ha3 recently existed, he should disin
fect the wagon wheels and horses'
feet before returning to his own
premises. College of Agriculture.
HOW TO OIL A FLOOR
1. Remove' all dust with turpen
tine or gasoline by rubbing with a
cloth. Strong washing powders are
likely to raise the grain.
2. Apply a good grade of floor
oil with cloth or brush. The oil
should be rubbed in with a cloth.
Allow to dry for eight or ten hours.
3. Remove all excess oil by rub
bing with a clean cloth. Cotton un
derwear is admirably suited to this
work.
4. If the floor is in bad condition,
apply a second coat of oil after a
few days, removing excess oil, where
necessary, as with the first applica
tionCollege of Agriculture.
EXTENSIVE SILAGE INTESTIGATION
The Department of Agricultural
Chemistry of the Experiment Station
and College of Agriculture of Ne
braska has been carrying on an ex
tensive investigation during the past
year on the chemistry of the proces
ses which take place during the en
siling of various green crops. Spec
ial attention has been given to silage
made from mixtures of alfalfa -and
Bweet sorghum. Six small silos
noming auout one ton oacn were
filled in September, 1914, with va
rious mixtures. Two of these silos
were opened during the second week
of August, 1915, and the Bilage in
each was found to be in perfect con
dition. The first silo contained a
mixture of one part sweet sorghum
and one part alfalfa, while the sec
ond contained a mixture of one part
sweet Borgham and two parts of al
falfa. Alfalfa alone will not make
Bilage because tho plant does not
contain enough sugar to insure the
production of sufficient acid to pre
serve the silage. The acid produced
from the sugar in the green plant
by bacterial action preserves the
silage. By mixing Bweet sorghum
with tho alfalfa the necssary Bugar
is supplied.
INTEREST A JOKER IN FARMING
It is a common mistako to consider
the difference between farm receipts
and farm expenses as profit. Tho
money tied up in the business is for
gotten, but it has an earning power
of G or G per cent. The farm busi
ness should pay for the capital the
same as is expected in any other
business enterprise. Therefore, in
terest on the farm capital is an ex
pense in running the business. The
following statement of a Gage county
farm gives a fair way of figuring
farm profits: The total receipts

MICHAEL GREEN,
One of Dakota County's oldest settlers, who died September 23, 1914.
Mr. Green was one of Dakota county's industrious and well-to-do farmers.
He was born in Limerick, Ireland, January 12, 1814. He came to Ameri
ca in 18G2, locating at Chicago where ho worked at the carpenter trade
until 1875, when he moved to Dakoty county, locating on a farm near
Hubbard, where he resided until the time of his death.
were $3,21G, the current expenses
$1,075, and 5 per cent interest on
the capital $2,024. Subtracting the
expenses and the interest, the labor
income (profit) is but $117.
This man had $2,141 available for
his living but $1,72-1 should be cred
ited to capital, which leaves only
$117 for the retnrns for his own la
bor and management. He is really
living off the interest of his invest
ment. A tenant or an owner, with
his place heavily mortgaged, must
have a more ( profitable business.
Interest is the joker in figuring farm
profits, and it must bo paid sooner
or later.

Sioux City Journal, July 12. 1895:
Considerable real estate in South
Sioux City has changed hands the
past week and scarcely a day passes
that there is not a respectable uile
of Covington lots. Already some
the people across the river are be
ginning to complain against the man
ner in which it is said Crystal lake
park will be conducted after the
electric street railway is built from
there to tho Nebraska terminus of
the Pacific Short Line bridge. No
one seems to know upon whoso au
thority the statements are made, but
the impression lias become general
that the resorts at the park will be
on the wide open order, and that is
the feature against which the good
citizens of South Sioux City are pro
testing. Sioux City Journal, July 13, 1895:
John Moan's estate was offered for
sale yesterday at Dakota City, but
after five lots had been sold the ad
ministrator adjourned the sale to
July 27. The administrator said the
rale was adjourned for the reason
the lots brought only $100 each,

Sioux City Journal, July 25, 1875:
J. Skinner, father of E. W., who has
just returned from a business trip
in Nebraska, leports that the crops
are looking magnificient in Dixon,
Cedar and Dakota counties. In Da
kota county there are some spots,
especially in the bottom lands, which
are a little short, but in Dixon and
Cedar counties the crops are the
finest he ever saw, the yield promis
ing to be from thirty-five to forty
or more bushels to the acre in fact,
Mr. Skinner believes that the aver
age will not be short of forty bush
els. He plucked quite a number of
heads of wheat and found that the
number of kernels ran from eighteen
to forty-eight. Corn and oats are
looking splendid and potatoes are a
wonderful crop. The farmers in
these localities are feeling hopeful
and self reliant, and if the 'hoppers
do not come all will be well.
Sioux City Journal, July 30, 1875:
The Hon. Tom L. Griffey, of Itykota

a challenge from the Fat Men's nine
