WARNING AGAINST ASPHYXIATION
Uuiintf the filling of the silo,
there is danger of death from as
phyxiation by carbon dioxide, says
the department of chemistry of the
College of Agriculture, Lincoln.
Largo amounts of the gus are pro
duced in the silo from the 'green
nop, and may collect in dangerous
quanitioH if conditions become fa
vorable. To avoid accumulations of
gas, doors should he left open as
long as possible. Men should not
stay in the silo when the blower is
not running, and especially they
should not lie on the green silage.
If the work has been interrupted
for any length of time, men should
not again enter the silo until the
blower has been running for a few
minutes. This removes the danger
ous gases. In case of a pit silo, men
should never stay in the silo when
the blower is not running, and the
blower should always be started be
fore anyone enters the silo.
WAR ON WEEDS
The traditional "ounce of prevent
ion" is worth more than the "pound
of cure," in the handling of weeds
says the College of Agriculture,
Lincoln. A weed cut or pulled up
in time will prevent production of
tnousanos oi seeds, and will mean a
smaller weed crop next year. In
the case of annuals, pulling, hoeing,
plowing under and mowing, if done
before the seeds are ripe, will help
eradicate weeds. But in case of
perennials, seed destruction is only
a part of the remedy. The under
ground root system must be de
stroyed, special methods being re
quired for each kind of weed. If
you arc having trouble with weeds,
send a specimen to the botany de
partment of the College of Agricul
ture, and ask best method to fight
your particular weed enemies.
YOUNG PLANTS FOR NEW DEDS
Young strawberry plants pro
duced during the current season are
best for new strawberry beds, is the
word that comes from the horticul
tural department of the College of
Agriculture, Lincoln. The greater
part of the root system of the plants
over one year old will be of a dark
color, while roots of plants formed
this summer will be light. They
may be set out either in fall or
spring. A blanket of three or four
inches of straw put on after the
ground freezes firmly will stop much
of the alternate freezing and thaw
ing of the ground during the win
ter. A portion of the mulch may
be removed in the spring when
'growth first begins.
COOLING TANKS
Keeping the cream is one of the
essentials for producing good but
ter, says the College of Agriculture.
Though the farmer may see to it
that cows, stable, milker, utensils
and separator are clean, and the
creamery may take every care of
the cream, bacteria will multiply
rapidly and spoil it if it is not kept
cool. For this reason, a cooling
tank within the reach of every farm
er is necessary. Such a tank has
been devised by College of Agricul
ture experts and butter manufact
urers. If it is a circular, well in
sulated tank. Well water intro
duced near the bottom does the
cooling. Specifications for this tank
may be obtained from the dairy hus
bandry department of the College
of Agriculture, Lincoln.
CONCRETE GRANARY FLOORS
Concrete floors for granary and
corn crib will not cause grain to be
come musty if the concrete is allow
ed to dry out for two or three
months, according to investigations
carried on by the agricultural en
gineering department of the College
of Agriculture, Lincoln. Once the
concrete becomes thoroughly dry it
will not absorb moisturfc from tha
soil and transfer it to the grain.
llus conclusion was reached as a
result of correspondence with G5
farmers who have had experience
with concrete floors in buildings
for storing grain.

WINTUR WHEAT
Several people have asked concern
ing some good strains of winter
wheat which could be depended upon
for this locality. The experiment
stations are not in position to fur
nish seed of any listed and proved
variety, but will furnish names of
parties who are cooperating with the
state in growing and proving tested
varieties and from them we can se
cure the pure seed.
I have u list of such people who
are in a position to furnish good
seed and will he glud to give these
to any one who would care to pur
chase seed. I believe we should sow
more winter wheat and would reco
mmend a good strain of Turkey Red
lor me purpose, aoutli Dakota,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin furnish
the list of people who have grown
this wheat successfully up there and
I think seed from those parts would
he less apt to winter kill here.
For a test plot, if your corn is not
too badly down, I know of no better
way than to with a one horse drill
seed the wheat between the corn
rows. While you might not get

"Mr. Hughes lias unequivocal
ly token the right position, and
-as regards all other positions he,
and not his opponent, Is enti
tled to the support of both men
nnd women, and therefore the
women in the enfranchised
states who do not in this elec
tion support him forfeit the
right to say they have done
their utmost for their sisters In
the non-enfranchised states."
From n letter of Theodoro
Roosevelt to Miss Alice Carpenter.
quite so good a yield your labor
would be less and the danger of
having it winter kill would be much
less than on fall plowed ground.
Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA CITY-SALEM
Altogether. The part that any
one man plays in the work of the
church may seem small enough to
be insignificant, but when all the
members are working together the
aEtrrecrate of accomDlishment ia con
siderable. One man on the Somme
front would not make a very large
battle, but several million of them
make some big battle. Each uses
out one gun and shoots but one
bullet at a time even though he has
a rapid fire piece. The soldiers
fight back and forth, over and
through the trenches at a furious
rate because they all work together.
If each man came and went as he
pleased, a lot of men would make a
ragged charge, but altogether they
do a killing business. What a pity
it is that so many persons in the
church want to be a "free lance," do
what they please, when they please,
and how they please. A mob or
ganization in the church is no better
than a mob organization in an army.
In a well organized church where
each is willing to do his share, no
one has all the hard work to do and
the work is burdensome upon none.
Machine work is as necessary in the
church as it is in any other calling.
There are different nnrrs. Snmn
spin around and some do not move
at all. 'the frame-work of an en
gine is as necessary as any other
part and yet it does not move. The
church needs men who nrp Hip
frame work, to be present, to see
that the business of the church pops
ahead. Often a man does not real
ize what a help his attendance is at a
meeting. He thinks" that he is not
necessary so stavs at home A shin
has to have ballast, even if ir is nnlv
sand, it will not stand upright with
out it. Our Sunday school needs
ballast. The boys and girls eniov
the work and vou will too. Thprn
is a place for you.
We had oueht to hn looking for
ward to a Sunday school rally day.
September will be here before we
know it and with it the fall work be-
ging. Ihe hot weather will be over
lanrelv and we can tichtnn iinnn nnr
Sunday school and church attend
ance. How about September 10th
for rally day. Do you remember
that 100 we had at Sunday school a
while back, 108 once? Let's do it
again. We can do it easily. It is
encouraging to have a good large
school. We all enjoy it.
It will not be long until the pastor
finishes his first year's work at Da
kota City Salem. He has had a
pleasant year indeed. It has been a
short year, though as long as
any there ever was. And this
brings to us the arrangements for
the second year. The council has
this matter in hand and have becun
the work. Thev arp trnino- rn t.rv thr
budget pian of church finances this
year. The budget was fixed at
$1000 for Salem church. This is ex
pected to cover all costs. Kariv in
September there will be a canvas of
tne congregation tor this sum, and
with it they will endeavor to use the
banking system we have been talk
ing of for some months. We will
let you know the day this canvas is
to be made and shall request you to
stay at home that day so the coun-
cilmen can see you. Really there
will be no object in you motoring
out to be away when they come for
they are too much in earnest to be
put aside so easily. Any how, you
want the church to nrosner and vou
expect to do your part. If the men
succeed in raising the budget, they
will not call on you again during
the year unless something extraor
dinary happens to the church. You
owe it to the church, to yourselves
and to the councilmen to make this
as easy and pleasant as possible.
We hope to clear up the whole busi
ness in a day. Altogether again, if
everyone is in sympathy with the
work it will be easy and no one will
feel the pinch. Dakota City had
ought to be looking forward to
something of the same sort. It can
be done.
Immanuel Ladies' Aid will meet
with Mrs. Kinkle Wednesday, Aug.
23. The Salem ladies are gratified
with the success of the Agricultural
extension wqrk the past week.
There were from 25 to 30 ladies
present each day, and besides the
instruction there was good social
times. They hope to have another
meeting of a similar nature next
year.
For three successive Sundays now,
the pastor has asked to be driven
out into the parish by some of the
men to make special pastoral visi
tation. He appreciates the willing
ness of the men to do this.
