these rugs have no power looms on

American dealer has learned to know
pretty much what sort OF rug appeals

before them. This handicaps them, for

BRAN is EXCELLENT.
Poultry Thrive on Ii BeoAuse Ii Con-
t2tns a Generous Proposition
OF Rich Lime.

Bran Is excellent for poultry, and
one point in favor OF bran il that
it contains IL much larger proper
tion OF lime than any other cheap
food derived from grain, and as the
ahells of eggs are composed of lime
1t rs essential that food rich In lime
be provided. 1t may be urged that
the use OF oyster shells will pro-
vide lime. but it will be found that
IL Is the lime in the food that IL
most serviceable, because it il in q
form that can be better digested and
assinilatcd than carbonate Of lime,
says the American Fancier.
Glover is also rich in lime; and
when mess OF cut clover and bran
is given the fowls they will need no
oyster shells or other mineral mat
ter AS a source from which to draw
the supply Of lime for the eggs. Do
not forget that in summer, however,
the use of all kinds OF foods should
be used with judgment. II the hens
have free range give no food at all
as long as they are laying, but II
they begin to fall of, let bran be the
leading ingredient Of the food al
lowed. In winter the bran and clover
are even more essential. as the fowls
cannot then secure green food on the

! BUILDING COLONIES.
Are DESTROYS OF Obtaining q
Good Crop of Honey.

We want to build all our colonies of
bees up strong, for those that are
strong in numbers are the only ones
of surplus. One of the greatest draw
backs TO successful bee keeping is that
there are so many weak colonies on
hand at the beginning of the honey
flow that it takes them through the
short honey harvest to become strong
enough to store honey. Each and
every hive should be overhowing with
bees at the beginning of the principal
honey harvest, for when they are thus
very populous they can be depended
upon to do good work. if the season ia
good.
Too many colonies run short OF pro.
vision during spring when they are
building up, and the result is that they
are crippled in force, for they cannot
rear brood without plenty of food in
the hive or have daily access to flow
of honey. Feeding is the only meth
cd that will bring them up to standard
requirements, hence they should be
literally fed.
Weak colonies may be brought up
strong very rapidly by giving them
some brood from the stronger ones,
but we must exercise care in this or
we will cripple the strongest ones and
be no better off than before. Draw
only on extremely strong colonies tc
strengthen weak ones. If we have col
onies that are in danger OF swarminR
before the honey season is properly on
we can draw from them and thus check
them from swarming.
1t is always in order to save frames
OF honey over from one season TO an
other for the purpose of supplying
the bees with honey in spring. This
Ia the most simple and easiest way OF
doing it, besides the most sure. KeeT

reports and denials that we are .un-
able to pick out anything definite to
publish this week that is later than
the Records report last week. The
Japs seem to be busy landing troops
in Corea, while the vessels of their

the troop-ships are annoying the Rus

their war ships from interfering
with the shipment Of soldiers and

UNJUST TO LINToNITEs.

The people of Linton and vicinity
have Q crow to pick with our formerly
esteemed secretary Of state, Mr.. 'Por.
ter. Lintonites not long ago held a
meeting and perfected a plan for pro.
viding local cemetery. Charley Gov.
entry, as one who will require more
ground there some day than most Of
those interested, was selected to pro.
cure charter from Bismarck. The
secretary replied to Mr.. C.'s letter,
saying that the application seemed to
be for permanent charter, hut that
the period was, by statute duly made
and provided, limited to. .at score Of
years. .''s.z. .5s
Now, Mr., Secretary, we wish to
haYesa word with you. The state con-
stitutton does not allow special legis-
lation. Hence, no law depriving the
people of Linton Of the right of dying
permanently has been legally enacted,
and, IL such provision il found in
the big book with the delifium-

per on which IT is written. We may

70 G. A. Herolz and His Friends:
AS Mr.. Herolz seems to be an artist
in burying truth, I have decided to
explain some of his statements for
the benefit Of the public. Mr.. Herolz
says ''my atfidavit does not say that
Mr.: Berndt made the above state
ments." The explanatory note at the
head of my sworn statement says:
"The exact truth as to what the in
spector told me is contained in my
affidavit" If that is not plain enough
for Mr.. Herolz, I will make a sworn
statement to that effect.
Referring to my statement, Mr..
a. says in his article; Where they
were assumed from is mystery to
me, as / had not made mention Of
Mr., Lemery's proof to any person un-
til after these statements were circu-
lated. The fact is that Mr.. H. had

Hague inspecting homesteads. In
about half.an hour I met him in an
office, and he told me, in the presence
Of Others, just what Mr.. Herolz had
said, which is contained in my sworn
statement. The next morning it was
made public. Mr.. Herolz cannot prove
the statement he made in this mat
ter. I invite him to do SO.
There Is another portion Of Mr.. n. g
statement wherein he attempts to
hide the truth. He says: Regarding
the statement that / went to the Red
River valley for the purpose OF seeing
the church authorities and persuade
them to suppress Mr.. Lemery's afflda-
vit: 1t is an untrue assertion" Let
US see whether it is. About day
after Mr.. H. was in Fargo I was called
