Foifirn Advtnidnt ReDrrienUtivr nUtivr I XIATION J THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION . .MRS. KNOX, l'IOM;i;it, DMS Mrs. Mary Knox, age 70 years, a pioneer resident of this county, died on Wednesday, January 5th, In a Sioux City hospital as the result of injuries sustained December 29th, when a sleigh in which she was riding over turned two milej west of Hubbard. Mrs. Knox had attended the wedding of'hcr youngest daughter, Miss Helen Kriox, to William Thome, and was re turning to her home In the bobsled. The injured woman was taken lo the home of her daughter, Airs, nay inond A. Voss, at Homer, immediately after the accident, and until Monday morning she appeared to improve. On Monday, however, her condition became worse, and she was removed lo a Sioux City hospital, where an op eration was performed in vain. The wedding was held in the home of Mrs. Maggie Uarnhart, a daughter of the deceased, seven miles north west of Hubbard. After the ceremo ny Mr. and Mrs. Voss and Mrs. Knox departed for their homes in the sled. The vehicle swerved from the road and overturned into a ditch, throw ing the three occupants out. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Voss was injured. Mrs, Knox, however, was injured internally. Since the death of Mr. Knox in 1913 Mrs. Knox and her daughter Helen, the bride, lived in Hubbard. The bride was the last of the six (laughters of Mr and Mrs. Knox to be married. Mrs. Knox was born in Scotland, and was married there. They came to the United States fifty years ago, and located on a home stead In the west part of the county, where Mr. Knox served as postmas ter In Pigeon Creek precinct, having the office In his home, there being no1 town for many miles from hit, place. The olHce was served by a star route. The six daughters surviving her are Mrs. Win, Thome, Mrs. Raymond Voss, Mrs. Ora Barnhart, Mrs, Frank Lussler, Mrs. Anna Pomeroy and Mrs. .1. M. King, all of Dakota county. One son, Sam J. Knox, resides near Waterbury. Funeral services were held Friday from the J. M. King home in South Sioux City. Durial was made in Oraceland Park cemetery. Testing Seed Corn it has come to be regarded as good practice among farmers to verify the germlnative powers of their seed corn several months before corn planting time. This enables them to be de liberate in selecting other seed in case what they havo selected proves unsound. The Nebraska College of Agriculture endorses this "rather be safe than sorry" procedure. A sim ple general germination test of the bulk seed ears which have been se lected will answer every purpose in determining the general quality ol the seed. If the germination proves unsatisfactory a closer elimlnntloi. of, unsound ears may be -made or a satisfactory supply of other local "f I'luturcu. une runs some risk of, poor adaptation in securing seed if?,"1 '!

'The Nebraska College of Agrlcul hire has developed a new champion cow both in milk and butter produc tlon. In one year she produced ji),6b- pounds ot milk and 1,310.40 lipunds of butterfat. This "would ,:(Ll!'J.4l),i Knllons of milk and 1,310.50 pounds of butter. Her year' milk production, retailing at 14 cents a quart, the price the College re cowed, would he worth $1,024.44. Thls cow is now champion m'lk and butter producer of the state and exceeded by only sixteen cows of her breed In the world. She is a Ho. Htein and seven years old. At the end of her year's work she weighed 1,750 pounds and she is a htrong, rugged, good-sized, well-built cow with the ability to eat large quanti ties of such rough feed as alfalfa and corn silage. While at her best she gave more than thirteen gallons of milk in one day. In her bese week she produced nearly 35 pounds or butter. She was milked four times a day, every six hours. The new champion is a daughter of a cow thai was once champion of the state, al- liiougu sue produced mil) pounds less btltter than her olfsprlng. Her sire wus a famous bull owned by the'Col lege. Winter Pruning (ioud Practice An old and accepted theory in yeuis gone by was that dormant pruning of fruit trees should be done only in the spring just before the growth starts The general impression was that win tvr, pruning followed by freezing and drying out of the wounds was injur ious to the trees. Slight injury probably does result, but the Nebras ka College of Agriculture says dan ger can be avoided by painting th j wounds more than an inch in dluni eter with white lead and linseed oil. This saves the wound from drying out and keeps out moisture and dis ease. There is no good reason why pruning should not be done during the winter. In fact, for the average orchard owner in Nebraska that is the best time. In spring, when oth er work is crowding, the orchard Is apt to be forgotten, Iiecause no two trees are alike no definite and spe clflc pruning rules can be laid down. It is considered proper to keep tree, top-j reasonably open in order to uk low penetration or sunlight. Dead and badly diseased limbs had better be removed, us well as water sprouts und other limbs which are crowding into the center of the trees. Prun ing smoothly, close up and parulell to the mBln branch, facilitates henling, WT 3" tl. i.te 1 151 m COUNTY COIIKtiSl'OXDKXCU no .! AC If SOX Thos. D.
