Learner, county attorney of Da kota county, must submit to a re count of the ballots cast at the last election, the canvass of which gave him the election by thirteen votes. His opponent, Sidney T. Frum, brought a contest alleging that votes were counted for Learner that were blank and also that were actually for Frum. The county court refused to open the ballots and recount them to see if this was correct, on the ground that they could not be re ceived in evidence until proof had been introduced preliminary thereto that would show error or mistake. The district court held the same way. The supreme court held that while the courts are loth to favor contests merely brought to satisfy a candi dates curiosity and that there are contrary decisions, Frum cannot be required to first prove his charges before he can look at the ballots. It says: "In a proceeding under the Nebraska statutes to contest an election on the ground that sufficient votes to change the result were il legally counted for contestee, the the contestant may introduce in ev idence the properly preserved bal lots themselves without first making proof of the charges in his complaint, facts stating that ground being al leged in specific terms."

LAMB FEEDING EXPERIMENT A lamb-feeding experiment to check the results of two years work in fall feeding of lambs has just been begun by the animal husbandry sec tion of the Nebraska experiment station. Three hundred 55-pound lambs have been put on feed to de termine the economy of adding pro tein concentrates where they are fed on corn, and the economy of pro ducing gains on grass supplemented by a small amount of corn. Four lots are allowed to range in the corn field (one lot being clipped), one lot is on pasture, and three lots are fed in dry lot. At the close of this experiment (some time in December), the annual Sheep Feeders' Day will be held at the University Farm. At this time lambs will be on exhibition, and the results of the feeding test will be announced and discussed. HANDLING NEWl,Y PURCHASED LAM US Stockmen who purchase and ship lambs to their farms for fall feeding not infrequently suffer loss after shipment, a loss that is at least par tially due to sudden change of feed, says the animal husbandry section of the Nebraska Experiment Station. Most western lambs have been in transit for at least a week and their digestive systems are weakened ma terially. It is well to allow the lambs plenty of blue grass. If they are to be friirnpfl info n cnrr finld t.hnv should have their appetite well curbed befqre turning them into the field each day, at the start. Fodder may be fed'several days before turning in. it would he well to nave a grass pasture available and also have al falfa in racks. A little alfalfa hay where western lambs can have ac cess to it at all times is a splendid and economical means of starting them on their winter feed. POULTRY HOUSE WHITEWASH A whitewash that disinfects, kills mites, and brightens the poultry house is made as follows: Slack 5 quarts of rock lime with hot water to about the consistency of cream. To this, add one pint of crude car bolic acid or zenoleum, and 1 quart of kerosene. Stir thoroly, and di lute with twice its own volume of water. Apply with either spray pump or whitewash brush. When properly prepared, this solution serves three purposes: The zenol eum acts as a disinfectant, killing the germs; the kerosene penetrates the wood, destroying the mites; and the lime whitens the walls, making the building sweet and light. HEDTIME FOR STRAWI1ERRIES It's time to put your strawberries to bed for the winter in a heavy blanket of straw just as soon as the ground is frozen hard enough to bear the weight of a wagon, say horticulturists at the Universiny Farm. Coarse straw or very coarse, weed-free hay makes the best winter wrap for these plants. Manure is likely to heat and thus injure them. Fine material of any kindlwill smoth er them out. HOUSING MACHINERY PAYS Meet the rising price of machinery by making every machine last long er this is an "economy suggestion" from the agricultural engineering department of the University of Ne braska. The life of a machine may be grently lengthened by providing prn-i helter, adjusting parts for wear i bricating freely, and making pron., i tepairs. FREE BOOK ON CANCER.
