Wintering Sheen
In providing winter- shelter for the
.sheep, secure well-vontilnted quar
ters free from dampness. Until
lambing time a shed open on the
touth will be sufficient. If the
weather is at all cold at lambing
time a good warm barn is a neces
sity. It is a good practice when the
weather is warm to let the sheep run
in tho stalks after the corn is shriek
ed, also feeding them a limited quan
tity of corn silage or alfalfa. Sheep
do well if fed some succulent feed in
their ration, such n3 pumpkins, si
lage or roots. A week or two after
lambing is oon enough to feed grain.

Tests for hardiness of winter wheat
are being made this year by Mr. Fred
Kipper, of Homer, who isco-opernting
with the County Farm Bureau ond
the Agronomy department of the
State agricultural college. The vari
eties sown were the Buffum, a Colo
rado wheat; the Miniturki, a Minnc:,
sotu wheat; Nebraska No. GO; an im
proved strain of Turkey Rod; nnd
Knnred wheat, the variety of wheat
which lias given such excellent re
sults in this county this year. Be
sides these a sample of Michigan
Rosen rye was sown. This should
prove a very profitable piece of work.
Some commercial firms are adver
tising Kansas Blackhul! winter wheat
for sale. They expect it to ride on
the reputntion of the Kanred, since
they were both developed in Kansas.
For Nebraska conditions, however,
this wheat does not .seem to have
proven a success. Regarding this
variety, tho Kansas Station has the
following to say, "Blackhull wheat is
grown quite extensively in south
central Kansas whpre it generally
gives good satisfaction Experiment
al 'tests indicate, however, that it is
not rust resistant and not so hardy
as Turkey, Klarof, or Kanred, nltho
it yields well in favorable seasons."
"Sell the Cockerels," is the. advice
given by some leading poultrymen.
It seldom pays to keep thohe lurger
than frying size unless desired for
breeding purposes. The. larger birds
bring less per pound and, when cost
of feed is considered, seldom pay an
increased profit for the extra care.
Those kept for breeding should be
separated from the pullets.

DAKOTA CITY SCHOOL XOTI1S

Miss Elsie Krumwiede wns elected

have som6 good work with this lino
up. 1
Tho Jollv Juniors met Monday
evening and selected ns their presi
dent Miss Mildred Room, and as their
secretary Clarence Ostmeycr. They
expect to get to work soon on some
thing that will help our school spirit.
Our attendance record was badly
mutilated lust week. The occasion
was the Interstate Fair .at Sioux City.
The Board of Education set nsidu
Friday for this purpose, but it hoo
but little effect in keeping the child
ren in school the other days. When
fun nnd school conlllct, "Cut out
School." Such a spirit will kill any
school, and Dakota City is no excep
tion to the rule.
The high school football team will
play Jackson at Jackson this coming
Friday. Wo hope to give them a
good 'game.
Frank Forrest has entered tho Gth
grade nnd Roy Perry the Gth grade.
We hope that everyone will see that
his child is in school. Wo want
them in.
Yes, Dear People, the schools are
going on over by tho railroad track
in Dakota City. How nre they run
ning? Do you know? How do you
know? Have you met the teachers?
Where? How close have you been to
the school house in the past ten
years? It '.s just as possible for
water to run up hill as it is to have
n successful school without public interest.

Scaly Leg ante
How many farmers tell tho age of
the hen by the roughness of the Iehs7
In every community someone is con
''ent that as a hen ages her legs be
come rough. That is a mistake.
Rough legs (ire caused by a very
email mite, not the common red mite,
which attacks the shank and toes be
neath the scales. Irritation causes
a serum to flow from tho infected
areas and as it solidifies tho scales
are pushed out. At first scalv lets
do not seem to inconvenience the
fowl, but as it becomes more seri
ously infested it usually becomes
lame-anu sometimes drops a toe. In
fection come3 from dirty hen houses
and contaminated ground.
Really there is little excuse for
the continued presence of scaly legs
in the flock, since any of the teveral
treatments are effective. The treat
ment most universally used is to im
merse the legs in kerosene. However
if this oil gets into tho feathers of
the bird, blistering occurs ond death
has been known to follow.
Tho next treatment, which js less
drastic, consists of using three purts
of crude or CractGr oil with one part
kerosene Leave the legs Immersed
for ten seconds. Usually another
treatment should follow about two
weeks after tho first, If the legs
are badly scaled, it a necessary to
soak the legs for several minutes in
warm soap suds and the worst scabs
removed, then treat as, ubovo.
Fancjshow birds aro usually tre'it
ed with on ointment of one part oil
of caraway and four parts of white
vasoline rubbed under the Fcoles for
three treatments ubout two days
apart. .-, ,
Further information can bo had by
writing to tho College of Agriculture
at Lincoln, Neb,
The new compulsory education law
provides, for a limited number of ex
emptions from ' having to attend
school between the ages of seven nnd
sixteen, but they are not so easily ar
ranged for because of the things that
have to be complied with in most
Instances. This, too, seems a good
point in the law, for it will largely
eliminate the small and selfish ex
cuses upon which parents and child
ren obtained exemptions in the past.
'lhe nortion of this law that re-
(juiiei attendance of children in
public, private, uenominnttonai or
parochial schools does not apply in
cases where a child or youth Is men:
tally or physicnlly incapacitated for
the work done in the schools, or in
any case where the child or youth
lives more than three milej fiom the
school by the nearest practicable
traveled road, or in any case where
the services or earnings of the child
r.r vnnth beincr at least fourteen
years of age are necessary for. his
own support or tne support m imc
actually dependent upon him.
These exceptions are governed by
conditions. Accordingly, jn case ex
emption is claimed on account oi
physicnl or mental incapacity the
public authorities shall have tho right
to employ a physician or physicians
or a person skilled in mental diagno
sis who shall examine such child or
youth and if such physician or physi
cians or nerson skilled in mental di
agnosis shnll declare such child or
youtn capaoie 01 unuuruiKinK we
work of the schools, thtjn such child
or youth shall not be exempt from
the requirements of the law. Again,
in case the services or earnings of a
child or youth being of the age of
fourteen years are "necessary for his
own support or tho support of those
actually dependent upon him, the
person having legal or actual chr-rge
of such child v may apply to the
proper authorities for a permit al
lowing the child to be employed.
This permit is issued only at tho dis
cretion of the proper authority when
a proper showing has been made und
the child has passed the eighth grade.

Home Millinery Schools to be Held In
the County.
There has been a long fojt need of
a reduction of the millinery bill, and
wo find 0 great many hats are dis
carded, that have valuable po slbil'
tics for future use,
Many peopln wear unbecoming hats
because they do not know what would
be more, becoming.
A great saving may be made in
the home if the women will only re
model their hcts or use old materials
in the making of new ones. An un
derstanding of line, and color as re
lated to dress, will also enable the
Vomcn to select colors which are the
most becoming and hat shapes which
are better suited to their particular
types.
The home millinery project in Da
kota county is to bo carried out
through Homo Millinery schools.
Miss Rachoel Harris, specialist from
tho Extension office at tho Agricul
tural College, will conduct a school
of four dos, September 27, 28, 20,
und 30, in tho basement of the M. E.
church in Dakota City, for a class of
ten or twelve women. These women
will bo from different communities,
each commun tv selecting two dele
gotea who will attend, tho school,
make and remodel their owri hat
and ngreo to assist tho women ol
their own communities.
Friday will bo an exhibit day, to
which ull women interested in hqme
millinery nre invited to attend, and
at which time the local leaders may
orgnnizo tholr groups for follow-up
work In their communities.
