MANY COUNTIES WANTKD KXIHIJIT
Altho 27 applications were receiv
ed for the county fair exhibit of the
College of Agriculture, conflicting
dates made it possible to offer the
exhibit to but five fairs during the
season. According to a report just
compiled, the total attendance at the
exhibit this year fell off materially,
due to the unfavorable weather du
ring September and the first part of
October in the counties where the
exhibit was sent. Several urging
applications have already been made
for the exhibit next year. It is in
closed in a tent 30 by 40 feet in size,
which is filled with a large number
of glass cases showing the results of
experimental work, as well as other
agricultural information.
INTERESTED IN COOPERATION
That residents of Nebraska are in
terested in cooperation is evident by
the fact that the edition of a bulle
tin on this subject, recently issued
by the Extension Service of the Col
Uge of Agriculture, is more than
three-fourths exhausted, and re
quests are coming in daily. The
bulletin reviews the different kinds
of cooperative societies, discusses
the principles underlying coopera
tive organizations, and tells of the
requisites for their successful oper
ation. The bulletin . may be had
without cost to residents of Nebras
ka upon application for Extension
Bulletin No. 31 totheBulletin Clerk,

FARM PROFITS
The greater profits in farming do
not come from reduced expenses,
according to results of surveys con
ducted in Gage, Madison and Thurs
ton counties by the College of Agri
culture in cooperation with the
United States Department of Agri
culture. The profits come not so
much from spending less but rather
from spending more efficiently. For
instance, in Thurston county the
current expenses (interest on land
and equipment not included) of ope
rating the 15 most profitable farms
last year were $1,122 per farm, or
$5.74 per crop acre, as compared
with $1,033 per farm, or $7.07 per
crop acre, on the 15 least profitable
farms.
FEEDING APPLES TO HOGS UNNECESSARY
The expensive practice of feeding
apples to hogs in certain parts of
the state is unnecessary, according
to the College of, Agriculture. The
apple grower iB unable to market
his apples merely because he does
not offer marketable apples. The
man with sound apples is placing his
product in cold storage to await the
higher prices of winter. The man
who has not sprayed his apples finds
that they are diseased, wormy, and
otherwise unfit for storage. He
must immediately throw his apples
on the market. This results in a
temporary oversupply and the loss
of a market, with consequent waste.
' SLOWER HORSE PULLS MORE
Is it the fastest horse or the slow
horse in a team that pulls the great
er part of the load? The Depart
ment of Agricultural Engineering of
the Lollege ot Agriculture says it is
the slower horse. It says that sup
posing one horse of a team is eight
inches ahead of the other, the load
divides in a ratio of 100 to 10G
pounds, in case the center hole in
the equalizer is four inches out of
line with the holes at the ends of
the equalizer.
ANTI-HOG CHOLERA CLUH
Members of the Gage couty farm
ers association in liig springs town
ship have organized an anti-hog
cholera club under the leadership of
their agricultural agent. The plan
is to divide the township into divi
sions of four sections each and to
appoint a supervisor for each of the
divisions. The supervisor in each
case will be a farmer of the commu
nity. The plan is to extend the
work over the entire county and or
ganize other township clubs in an
effort to control outbreaks of chole
ra. WILL IDENTIFY YOUR APPLES
Would you like to know just what
kind of apples you have in the or
chard or back yard? The Horticul
tural Department of the College of
Agriculture will identify them for
you without cost, if you will send
samples in care of this department
at the University rami. Lincoln.
A large number of sampleB are re
ceived each year from different parts,
of the state.

Hartington News:
J. E. Dueschel, of
who were guests of Mr. and Mrs.
C. L. Culler, left Monday for Dako
ta City.... A picked team of Cole
ridge town boys, including several
former members of the school team,
went to Hom,er last Saturday to play
a picked-un town boys team there.
The Coleridge boys evidently did not
expect to get such a warm reception,
as they had several members of the
team on the retired list and a score
of 26 was run up by Homer boys
before they realized what was hap
pening. Dean Moore suffered a
badly torn eye, and several other
members were quite badly injured.
The members of the defeated team
attribute the victory to the fact that
the umpire was inexperienced and
lacked knowledge of the game.

Sioux City Journal. 10: Fear of
diptheria among school children of
South Sioux City last night led coun
cil members to sanction the appoint
ment of a health officer by Mayor C.
J. Kloster. Dr. Leonard Devore
was appointed. In discussing the
question of contagious diseases and
their dangers to the community
Councilman Fred Martin asked if
the city had a health officer. The
mayor said that it did. Other coun
cilmen inquired who he was and
when he was appointed. Mayor
Kloster said that he had received au
thority from the state board of
health to appoint a health officer,
and that Dr. Devore had been ap
pointed a few weeks ago. A motion
was passed that Dr. Devore be the
health officer, The council consid
ered fixing a rate for the sale of
electric light current. It was de
cided to refer the subject to the city
attorney, Ward Evans. He will
draft an ordinance and leave the
rates blank. Members said they
wanted first to find out what the
power was costing the city before
a fixed price was set in an ordinance.
It was stated that the plant profited
the city $11 last month, and that
twelve new customers were listed.
Electricity will be given the citizens
as cheaply as possible, members de
clared. Councilman J. J. Eimers
said he thought the city lights should
be turned off on nights when the
moon was shining, after a reasonable
hour. Others objected on the
ground that it might get cloudy.
Attorney Evans asked if there should
be some provision made in the ordi
nance for a city electrician. "What
do you mean, city electrician?" said
Mr. Martin. "I think we had better
leave that feature out of the meas
ure." "The water commissioner is
an electrician; let him do it," said
Mr. Martin. We have too many
offices now." A communication
from the firemen of South Sioux
City was read, asking that they be
exempt from paying poll tax. The
majority ot the councilmen were in
favorof exempting the volunteer
firemen from paying poll taxes.
After referring tho matter to the
city attorney Mr. Hogan said he
thought the firemen should get out
and show some inclination to work.
They ought to have some system, he
said. Well, we should give them
some encouragement," said Mr.
Martin. A fireman attending the
meeting spoke up and said that the
city should provide some system oi
fire alarm. He said that firemen
could not go to fires if they did not
know about them. "What shall we
do, then, to give them some enthu
siasm?" said Mr. Martin. "Buy a
rope for the bell," said the fireman.
The mayor ordered the purchase of
a rope. The city engineer was in
structed to work in cooperation with
the engineer of the Sioux City Ser
vsce company in placing the street
car trackB on a grade with the level
of the sidewalks. Further street
improvements are contemplated.
