THE NAVY.

1t has been suggested that naval
school Al Duluth would be the proper
thing. , Undoubtedly there are many
times more American sailors on the
great lakes than on our coasts. And the
suggestion seems to us a very sensible
one. While there has been some ques-
ton as to the necessity Of standing
army, it seems to be conceded that the
American navy must necessarily be much
larger than it has been and officers and
men will be greatly needed in the near
future to equip them.
The old fashioned American sailor is
largely thing of the past. Steam and
electricity and breech-loading. rapid fire
guns have changed the man-of.war rou-
tine and methods. But to handle ships
and guns still requires the very best
brain, muscle and vim obtainable.

HORSE FEED.

Feeding Trials With Work Horses
is the title of a very excellent and timely
pamphlet published by the Agricultural
College at Fargo, of whom it may be had
by addressing the president. Just now
when feed is high and hay scarce these
experiments are valuable to the farmer.
The experiments are gwen in detail and
the following conclusions are given from
the experiments made.
l. Bronze hay gave as good results
when fed to work horses as did timothy
hay.
2. Oat straw was satisfactorily used
for feeding horses which did light work
and for those which we're idle. One
fourth more grain was required to sup
port horses doing light work when they
we're fed straw.
8. Barley was not equal to oats in feed
ing value per pound, but was nearly as
good. Mules did not relish barley.
4. Matted barley was not so valuable
for work horses as oats and was not
equal in value to the dry barley from
which it came.
5. Corn fed in connection with oats in
the proportion of 100 pounds of corn to
l25 pounds Of oats, had greater value
than oats; IT'S pounds Of corn equalled
100 pounds; of oats when fed to work
horses.
6. Whole wheat fed alone was an un.
satisfactory feed for horses. Wheat
ground and mixed with bran in the pro.
portion of 1u parts of wheat to one part
Of bran oy weight gave good results.
Z. Bran and s,rrts mi >ed in, qua. parts
by weight, was equal to oats ill feeding
value.

the western counties the-six valley coun-
ties with a total population of 121, 726
still hold about 80 per cent OF the total
population of the state.
Nevertheless tae population is natur-
ally increasing more rapidly in the west
ern counties, though in our opinion more
than SO per cent of the people will al
ways be found within 100 miles of the
Red River.
The increase in population will almost
necessitate a redistrictlng and reappor-
tionment OF the legislature this winter.
Some of the representation in the older
counties is very uneven, while many OF
the newer counties are entitled to much
more than they now have. On basis
similar to that now allowed this county,
one senator and two representatives for
each $500 population, it would me IN
about 36 districts in the state instead of
81 as it now is, and in making county
boundary lines which also lav to be
considered, the number will probably be
made larger than that and increase the
membership of the legislature accor,r-
ingly.
Another result of our increase in popu-
lation is the probability OF another rep
resentative in congress. With that will
come the division of the state into two
congressional districts, and whether it
will be divided on north or south lines or
east and west will be another question to
solve. But that will be for the legisla-
ture of two years hence to decide so
there is time enough vet.
