YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.
1t is rather an unusual thing

1t is rather an unusual thing for
the publisher of newspaper to
talk plain business through the
columns of his paper, but we are
compelled once more to ask our
subscribers to pay up. There is a
lump sum Of between $4,000 and
$4,000 now due on our subscription
book. The amount in each instance
is small, ranging from 5000 to
$1,000. Some of this we have
waited patiently for a long time,
thinking that the time would come
when it would be convenient for
you to pay US, but in many instances
time has proven to the contrary.
The amount due in each instance
can be readily found out from the
figures following the name on the
paper each week. The figures de-
note the date up to which the paper
is paid and the rate is two dollars q
year.
Our creditors must be paid, and
to enable us to meet our obligations
we ask that all in arrears pay up
these small amounts. The COURIER
DEMOCRAT has always endeavored
to give its readers the best paper
possible for the money and will in
the future continue to put forth it's
best efforts, and in this year of
good crops we have a right to ex-
pect the money fairly due us. A
newspaper cannot go much beyond
what the people makes it, and in
order to keep up with the procession
we must have something substan-
tial to work on.

PIG SKIN WHEAT.
How to Double the Pric 9 of Wheat
by Feeding it TO Hogs.

Editor UDIER-DEAocRAr:-
The low price of wheat and the
tendency to still lower prices, seems
to present an opportune time to call
the attention of the farmers of the
wheat districts in Cavalier county
to the high price of hogs.
AT the present prices of hogs
recent experiments seem to demon.
strate that by fattening hogs on
wheat, the farmer may realize more
than 81 per bushel for his wheat,
now worth at the farm 40 to SO
cents, and which after freight has
been paid to Minneapolis or Duluth,
is worth only about 50 or 63 cents.
At present prices, the largest cal
load of wheat $1,000 bushels) in St
Paul, is worth only about $500
while car load of hogs of the same
weight &c., o,ooo1b) would be worth
$4,000.
The hog natures at the age o1
six to nine months. Hence it is
true that so cent wheat when turned
into pork becomes worth more thar
81 a bushel, the business of raising
hogs by the wheat farmer promises
large profits and quick returns.
Now let us see what evidence
there is upon the value of wheat fol-
fattening hogs.
Upon this point the following
statement has been made: A
farmer in one of the best corn and
wheat communities in Central Hi
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1893-09-28


to sell his wheat at the prevailing
prices that he thought that he
would convert it into pork. He was
greatly pleased at the result. He
had $4,000 worth of hogs, and
fattened them almost on wheat,
using a little corn. His method
was to soak the wheat in warm
water twenty-four hours before feed
ing. In cold weather he let the
water come to boil in the kettle
and then poured in the wheat and
put out the fire. When it cooled it
was soaked enough and ready to
feed, which he did Immediately.
He weighed the hogs before COM
mencing to feed and kept a strict
account of weight Of all grain fed,
also figured the corn at 35 cents and
the fat hogs at 4! cents. Said he,
"The wheat just brought me Sl.o1
per bushel."
From this statement it would
seem that wheat is worth S1.Ol per
bushel to feed when hogs are worth
4! cents per pound. The
present price of hogs in St. Paul
market is 5. 6. cents, which on the
above basis would make wheat worth
sl.25 per bushel.
The writer is Informed that dur
i'!y the last few months, "a full car
loads of fat hogs have been sold at
the south St. Paul market, which
were raised in North Dakota and
fattened entirely Oh wheat and
sometimes fed IN the manner pointed
out by the Illinois farmer and some
times converted into a rude "graham
four before feeding. The unani-
nous testimony Of the raisers has
been to the effect that by feeding
it they had realized over 81 per
bushel for their wheat. The quality
of the product of such hogs is said
to be superior to the product of the
corn fed animals. If this is true, it
seems to open up the possibility to
the wheat farmers of introducing to
the market of the world brand of
American pork, which in time would
become as famous as North Dakota
hard wheat, and like it command the
highest prices and the best market.
1t is certainly a matter worthy of
consideration.

PROHIBITION VS.. CRIME.

Our prohibition friends tell us
that the saloons are responsible for
nine-tenths of the crime. If that is
so what an awful wicked state North
Dakota would bc but for the saving
grace of constitutional prohibition?
Such extravagent assertions are
too ridiculous to be worth of notice
were it not, for the object lessons
offered at the present time. The
North Dakota prohibition law is
acknowledged to be the most drastic
m easures of the kind ever placed
upon the statute books of any com
monwealtb, and is now undergoing
a crucial test of its efficacy in the
hands Of its friends, who are backed
up by state and judicial officials all
in full sympathy with the law not
withstanding an almost superhu-
man effort is being made to enforce
it and the whole official machinery
of the state brought to bear, yet its
enforcement has been so lax, except
in isolated towns and agricultural
districts, that it has come to be
generally looked upon as mere
relic Of crankism, whose farcical
features would be amusing were
they not less serious to the taxpayers.
The prosecutions throughout the
state are being aided by testimony
given by hired "spotters' non-resi-
dents and non-taxpayers, that call
themselves detectives. North
Dakota people who arc open, honest
ard fearless in their own affairs
have nothing but contempt for
"sneaks' s''-professional or other
wise. No blame can be attached to
the officers charged with the enforce
ment of the law as they are simply
performing duty and are not to be
blamed for zeal shown therein. 1t
is their duty to carry on the war
and execute the commands of the
court. If convictions follow in the
pending cases, throughout the state
it will have to be admitted that the
first attempt to enforce an unpopular
law has been in measure successful
But that the results will be lasting
candid men, familiar with the his
tory of sumptuary laws in other
states, may well be inclined to
doubt. Whisky will still be sold, in
large quantities. Wherever de-
mand exists the supply will be forth
coming, and little will, after all,
have been accomplished by the pre-
sent spasmodic attempt to enforce
an obnoxious lava law that may
be aptly characterized as not
only liberal and burdensome, but as
the eliminating atrocity of glass
legislation.

Neither the Federal government
nor the express companies should
be called upon to suppress train
robbing. Protection of property
within it's boundaries is the busi-
ness of state. Any state can
stop train robbing. A moderate
enlargement of the strength of
the States would not be a bad
change. Nothing more is requir-
ed for surpressing the highway
men trade than ability and inclin-
alton in the state authorities to
sharply pursue and quickly
punish.
