Yoiinir, Count Agent Last Saturday morning a telephone message from tho Government Em ployment office at Sioux City, stated that they had more men than they were able to secure work for and asked that this information be cir culated. They said lots of men were available at $65 to 570 per month. During the past week we nttended the organization meeting of tho Thurston County Pure-Hred Urecdcrs association. One 'of the most grati fying things that we know of is the way stockmen are becoming inter ested in improving their herds. This, to be sure, is for the most -part with pure-bred sires or grade dams. Hut even there our best farmers are satis fied with only the best sires. How ever, with hogs, Dakota county hos several new breeders of pure-bred herds, Who are destined to become real factors in the business, in the very near future. Tho Dakota coun ty Hreeders association will hold a meeting early in August to decide what steps should bo taken for a co operative advertising scheme. Mr. C. R Buckley, of Dakota City, is pres ident of the association. If you are a pure-bred breeder and have not al ready signed n membership curd you will want to get in on thli before the next meeting. Hog cholera is prevalent in tho vicinity of Jackson, at least three herds being infected at the present time, i Vaccination is quite general in that neighborhood. Creosote Present's 1'eiii'e Posts. Creosote treatment about doubles the life of woods ordinarily used for fence, posts, say University agricul tural extension engineers. Many species almost valueless untreated may be made to last 25 or more years. Treatment may bo done with a small tank or iron barrel in which the cre osote can be heated. Tests show that the life of posts are lengthened as follows; Ashj from 6 years un treated to 25 years treated; boxelder, from 4 to 2G years; willow, from -1 to 20 years; white cedar, from 11 to 30 years; catolpo, from 17 to 20 years; cottonwood, from 3 to 27 years; soft maple, from to 27 years. For de tails on crcosoting wood write the Agricultural Engineering Department Collego of Agriculture, Lincoln. Pasturing Poor Wheat Not Itccoiii mended. Inquiries oro being received at tho College of Agriculturo regarding pas turing spring wheat that is not worth haryesting. Posturing is not recom mended. In most instances the stock would get enough groin to produce digestivo disturbances. If the wheat Is cut for hoy It may be sofoiy fed in small quantities. Spring wheat makes good hay, especially if cut o little green. It is probable that hogs could bo turned on the wlfeal without much .risk, but other kinds of stock would be liablo to serious results.

REFUSED TO BE CHILDISH Chltf Reason Why Eldecly Lady Was Pronounced by All to Be Grand Success. She Is the dearest little old lady of seventy-three any one ever saw. She Is very happy and always Immensely busy. She knitted a great many sweat ers and pairs of socks for the soldier boys. And now, when we're uo longer needing socks for our boys she Is em broidering an exqulsltedress for the tiny baby of the girl who used to bo her maid. "Why are you so very happy?" she wus asked one day. "I'm happy because I'm not child ish," sho said very emphatically. "Now, I'm not, am I? Did you ever hear any one say tliut I was childish? "And I am seventy-three years old," sho boasted. "Now, tho woman next dor Is only sixty and she Is very, very childish. Why, I have to comfort and pet her often when I'm longing to laugh at her. Sho Isn't wise enough to keep from being childish. "When I was young I used to watch the pcoplo In my family get childish," who continued. "It amused me ot llrst, and then when I saw bow pcoplo out side of our fiiinllj regarded them os nuisances 1 determined then that 1 never would be chlldlMi and u mils mice. I watched and watched and then I discovered the secret. If you don't want to get the least bit clilldl.-li you don't ever dare pity yourself. Ton hove to think, think, think of other people mid ways In which you can help them. The worst thing people can do Is to think of themselves." Outside the vKltor met the grocer boy. "Do you hear her?" ho asked. "Isn't she a dear ond not a bit child Ish, either." "She's a grand success," she re turned. "You bet I" he agreed. Indianapolis News.
