For Chief Clerk of the House.

Grand Forks Plaindealer: Maj. j. G..
Hamilton goes to Bismarck Monday to as
sist State Auditor Bray for a few days.
The Major will probably spend the winter
in the capital city, as he will undoubtedly
be elected chief clerk of the house, a posi-
ton he has filled for five years with great
acceptance. 1t is but simple justice to
state that Major Hamilton is the best quail
fed man in the state for the clerkship. The
position is a difficult one to fill. Expert
ence Is of great value to the state, and
members want a clerk who can readily
give any desired information without hav-
ing to spend time in hunting data. Major
Hamilton is entitled to the place, if he
wants it, on account of his political servi-
ces at republican headquarters and on the
stump. Few men have contributed more
towards winning the success of November
4th. Even leaving politics out of the ques-
ton, Major Hamilton should have the
place on the score of greatest competency
and experience.

Bismarck's Electric Light.
From Wednesdays Daily,7

There seems to be a general air of mys-
terry %pervading the atmosphere in the vi
cinity of the electric light movement in
this city. A TRIBUNE reporter yesterday
went the rounds of several quarters in
hopes of obtaining a little light on the
light subject and was rewarded with
enough information to warrant a declara-
city will be once more flooded with the
welcome glimmer of electricity's halo.
Hezekiah, the faithful lieutenant who
loves a dynamo nearly as we'll as his first
born, was busy all day yesterday with his
nippers and his climbing apparatus strap
ped to his feet, shining up the poles and
connecting the wires. This surely means
something, but Hezekiah had evidently
been admonished by his superiors not to
the company, therefore he was very reti-
cent. Later in the day the scribe strolled
into the electric light building located in
the rear of the Sheridan house, where En-
gineer Cunningham was engaged in get
ting the big boilers in order. He said he
did not think 1t was for electric light pur-
poses, but understood he was working in
the boiler room to get the machinery ready
for winter, as Bly, will have his hotel
heated by steam again. In the
dynamo room, Hezehiah was busy over
hauling the dynamOs, Oiling the parts and
connecting wires. He then admitted that
he had been working on the wires through
the city and said most everything was in
shape to turn on the current at short no.
tice. Then he drew the reposter into a
corner and whispered that it would be pos
Sible, perhaps, for the press to get more
news on this subject from John D. Mack,
who is one of the prime movers in the
light deal. Mr.. Mack was seen, but that
gentleman also evinced a desire to be coy
on the matter he at first said he didn't
know much about. After several oral
maneuvers on both sides, he finally said
that Colonel Whitford was considering a
proposition he made to him and would
probably reach an agreeable conclusion
before long. Meanwhile the work is &C.
ing ahead, the electric machinery is al
most ready to start up, and 1t is believed
the current will be turned on shortly as an
experiment, and then If the people want
electric light they can determine whether
it will be acceptable. Bismarck must
have light of some kind this winter. The
days are getting short, the nights longer
and darker, and those of the people whose
business detains them down town late at
night have a sorry time of it feeling their
way home through the inky darkness.
Then, when the legislators come this win
ter and fail to see the familiar streets
lighted by electricity as of yore, they will
certainly not entertain a very healthy
opinion of the enterprise and push OF
North Dakota's capital city. But there's
no use Of harboring these apDrehensiOns
now, for we are going to have electric
light, and no mistake about it, either.

taking our own figures, the weight Of the
pig could be doubled before selling aud then
make more money than TO start on new
pig that is. six pigs weighing $50 pounds
apiece would be more profitable than II pigs
ot $50 pounds apiece. In the first place,
we can throw out OF account the fertilizing

the same food, whether fed TO large or
small pigs Our experiment shows that as
the pig grows older it takes a constantly
increasing amount Of food 10 make pound
Of gain. From ljj to pos pounds average
live weight took 1 81 cents worth Of food
for each pound Of gain.
Then five cents worth of food would be
a low estimate Of the amount required for

aud it would probably run over six cents /,

AGRICULTURAL.
The Experiment, STATION Pis..

The general results which are summa-
iized in Bulletin No Is Of the Vermont
Experiment station are substantially the
same that have been found by similar tests
at several experiment stations in other
states. great number Of experiments in
feeding swine have been made at the Mas
sachusetts State Experiment station at Am
herst. The details Of these experiments
for the year 1858 are given in 30 pages Of
the annual report The cost of making
pound Of pork live weight, and the cost Of
a pound dressed eight, Prof Goessman
computes, as Prof Cooke has computed
without addition for the first cost Of the
pig above that obtained in the sale of the
pork.
In the annual report Of the Massachu
sets station for 1887, Director Goessman
says that the cost Of feed consumed for the
production Of a given quantity of dressed
pork increases materially with the ddrdnc-
ing growh Of the animal The financial
success he says, "of feeding pigs for
home market, depends in a controlling de-
gree on a timely closing up Of the operation.
To go beyond 100 or 175 pounds of live
weight is only in exceptional cases re
muneratve practice with our average mar
ket prices for dressed pork" Aud again, in
the report for 1888: THE power Of assim-
Hating food and of converting it into live
weight decreases with the progress in age
1t is not good economy to raise pigs for the
meat market to an exceptionally high
weight. To go beyond rs to 1870 pounds
is only advisable when exceptionally high
market prices for dressed pork can be Sc
cured"
When Mr. Bliss, in his criticism on the
station Bulletin No 1S-which we publish
together with Prof Cookies reply-reckons
the net cost of making each pound of pork
from $50 to 800 pounds the same that it
cost for each pound Of the first 1870 pounds
he ignores the facts that have been repeat
eddy and uniformly shown by experiments
at the stations
