Made Money In Sheep.-A sheepman
of North Dakota is reported as follows
in his experience with sheep, and II It
can be done there 1t can be accom-
plished here also with like good man
agement: Three years ago he put
$4,000 into 1929 sheep. For two
years the wool paid little more than
the running expenses of the under
taking, says the Dakota Farmer, but
the flock increased rapidly, and this
alone proved good profit. Last year
the wool brought 81 900 more than the
expenses, and to this he added So 900
for mutton sold. The total value OF
the sheep at the present time, plus
the profit on wool and mutton.
amounts to $l2,40O, or net profit of
80, 400 on $4,000 investment for three
years Judging from the talk we hear
among the farmers Of the Dakotas,
there Is going to be whole lot more
of this kind of thing done during the
coming years, and not far distant ones,

Bogus Stock Food Costing 81 to
So Per Hundred Sold tor
Seven to Fourteen Times
That Sum.

lies Moines, Iowa, Jan. 26.-That
the farmers of Iowa are paying as
high as S14 for stock for foods that
have no value at all or at best only a
value of 81 or 50 is the claim that the
committee of the board Of directors
OF the department of agriculture at a
joint meeting to be held soon. When
the committees are brought together
the results of the chemical analysis
of all the patent stock foods on the
market will be laid before them. An
attempt will be made to show them
that none Of the stock foods have any
value as stock food, but can be OBJ
tanned by the farmer at very much
cheaper rate by buying the ordinary
grains that are fed to stock. These
facts will be disclosed in an attempt
to get through the bill providing for
state inspection of stock foods as well
as agricultural seeds.
The chemical analysis discloses that
bone stock food that is widely adver-
tised and is sold for $l4 per 100 pounds
is made up Of bran, milling otfal, COM
mon salt pepper, charcoal, chaff, hulls
and some seeds that have no %particu-
lar value. Veterinary surgeons claim
that this compound has no value other
than the small amount Of protein in
the bran and milling offal which as
stock food is worth about 81 per 100
pounds.
Another is made up ofS1.S4 per cent
ashes and the rest is %vetenian red and
lime. There is absolutely no value to
the food, yet it sells for Sc per 100
pounds. Another is made up of lin
seed meal--common salt, charcoal and
some weeds, the linseed meal being
the only thing of value and yet it
sells at a high price. Another is
made of $40 per cent ashes and char
coal stibnite dried blood, copper sui
phate EPSON salts, common salt, cat
hulls and refuse, and sells So per 100
pounds.
The various weed seeds, charcoal,
salts and the like are put into the
stock foods to give them a smell and
taste that will deceive the farmer.

The Farm of the Future.

Day Allen Wiley in Appeleton's
Magazine: We look in vain for the
wood lot" This disappeared long
ago to make way for the more profit
able field and orchard. The wood pile
by the kitchen door and the big fire
place have likewise passed away. Nor
is there an ash heap anywhere about,
To this farmer coal is too expensive,
especially when he knows that he
uses less than 10 per cent of the heat
it generates and that for every ton he
buys he pays for 90 per cent of waste.
How about kerosene or coal oil OF
whatever you choose to call it? "What
is the use OF my paying freight from
the oil refinery and helping the trust
to make a profit when / can get
something better for my purpose
| right at homer"
This reply may not convince, be-
cause as yet we have not had chance
to see for ourselves: but we will
start, beginning at the farmhouse.
The reason why no smoke comes from
the chimney is because the housewife
is getting dinner on a stove burning
alcohol-merely a turn of a valve con-
trolling the supply and the contract
of the match fame; that's all. Here
and there are lamps which. when
lighted at dusk, give out such a bril-
liant yet even illumination that the
ordinary gas jet is a mere glimmer In
contrast. Spirit furnishes the light.
| Over in the barn stands the familiar
tanning mill for cleaning grain, but
no one turns the crank that reyolves
it's blades. The farmer simply throws
over the handle of an electric switch,
and the mill begins humming a merry
tune in unison with the clicking OF
the feed cutter, which is also actuat-
ed by the same invisible force. Nor
does the farmer depend on the breeze
to pump his water. The motor-driven
pump keeps it flowing in a steady
stream from the we'll even into the
tank on the roof of his home, where
it is ever ready to extinguish fires and
let's him save on his insurance prem
iums. In the orchard the press is
squeezing the juice out of the apples,
without a touch of the hand. The
hay press does it's work mechanically
with just a boy to feed it.
If we happen to be on the place at
butter making time we see the cream
separators and churns doing their
duty Independently of the housewife,
who only looks into the creamery now
and then to see how things are get
ting on. The farmer may have horses
but not for field work because he finds
he can do much more with motor
machinery at the same expense. Even
his plows and cultivators are pull
ed by the traction engine with which
he runs his harvester and thrasher.
Here the engine must communicate
its power directly to the farm mech
anism; but if he desires he can oper
ate the tanning mill the separator
and other appliances in the house and
barn from one source of power, using

Law Makers Have Troubles.

An Aberdeen communication to
the St. Paul Dispatch tells Of Sena-
tor Lincoln's experience at Pierre,
but he seems to have been able to
escape fairly well under the circum-
stances. The Aberdeen correspond
ent says;
State Senator Isaac Lincoln, in
breaking into his new role Of legis-
lator, o went up against the in
evitable lobbyist a few days
ago at the capitol, and bore the at
tentions of those well-meaning but
fussy bill pushers with his usual gen.
Utility, until the last straw arrived.
All Pierre is laughing about his ex-
perience. These women had a num-
Der of hobbies tc ride, but the princi-
pal one is woman's suffrage. Three
of them concerned Mr.. Lincoln, one
advancing from the front and the
other two conducting flank move
ments with success. With the three
facing and thanking him and the
wall behind him he was up against it.
One of the women opened the wire
pulling by asking the senator if he
would help them secure the passage
of an an~ti-cigarette bill.
eff 1 did, madam" explained Mr..
Lincoln, 81 would never dare &c
home again. The Russians in Brown
county would murder me-"
This statement evidently settling
his vote on that measure, the woman
turned her attention to other legisla-
tion, and suggested that the senator
could support their anti-saloon bill.
The senator put that aside also with
the statement that he could not do
it as there are eighteen saloons in
Aberdeen now, and there will soon be
twenty-two; SO he had to pass on
that. Then the woman started in
earnestly on the woman's suffrage
matter. She attempted to appeal to
the heart throbs of the senator and
opened by saying:
"Mr. Lincoln, do you want Mrs.
Lincoln to vote?"
Mr.. Lincoln then awoke to the
seriousness of the matter, and blurt-
ed out just IS earnestly: Good
Lord, woman, no! She's a demo

answered mo" we never did nor
did we ever see a woman Waiting

a cigar in her teeth and running into

seen a woman go a-ishing with a

most to break him of this habit,

him that the next time he was

For long time after this the
mate stopped drinking, but one
day he fell into his old habit.
Thereupon the captain wrote
the following entry in the log:
"August 12, 10; 60 degrees

The mate begged him to take
this off, saying that it would

He sent for the mate and de-
manded what he meant by such
an entry, ordering him to take

Boise, Idaho, July 3.-Max
Malich, Joe Malich, and Chilly
Aikman, three of the mon vari-
ously implicated in alleged mis-
conduct at Globeville, Denver
and Cripple Greek, on the word
of Harry Orchard, went on the
stand today as witnesses for Will
liam ID. Haywood and denied
Orchards testimony. Malich
swore that Orchard and not he
suggested the inhuman plot of
dynamiting boarding house full
of non-union smelter men at
Globeville and that Orchard orr
ginated the idea of killing Will
liam Mcdonald, one OF Malich' s
business rivals.
He said that he had been burn
ed by some mysterious acid
thrown into his house, but denied
that this acid was really "Petti-
bone dope" that had been left in
his room by Steve and Annie
Adams. He also denied that
"Pettibone dope" had been used
in burning his store and testified
that he was at his ranch when
the fire occurred. He also swore
that Orchard had told him that
but for Governor Stuenenberg he
would be rich and that he intend
ed to kill Stuenenberg.
Malich and Aikman also made
positive and circumstantial deni-
ais of all the things Orchard
swore they did with him. The
cross-examination of all three
witnesses showed a purpose on
the part of State to deal further
with their testimony, when the
case in rebuttal is reached. =
When Orchard is recalled he will
be asked to give his version of
the alleged use of "Pettibone
dope" in burning Malich's store
at Globeville.
Another unusual feature was

ARRESTED AFTER TWELVE YEARS.
NAL SisbIer Wanted Ia Alabama on
Charge Of Grand Larceuy-Hss
Been Good Citizen Of Braros
County

Friday night Sheriff r. NJ
Nall and Constable c. l.. Bake
lodged in jail here Nal Stabler
Jr. arrested on a warranr
from Alabama, and wanted a
Monroeville, Monroe county, il
that state on charge of grand lar
ceny alleged to have been com.
mitted twelve years ago.
Stabler, who is only twenty.
eight years old. was a r6-year-old
boy at the time, and has resided
IN Texas nearly ever since. He
has been a good law abiding citi-
zen ever since and has won the es-
TEEN OF the people among whom
he has resided. He was married
less than a year ago to a young
lady of this county, and is an III
dustrious young farmer and has a
good crop this year at his home on
Thompson creek.
Sheriff Nall states that Stabler
says that he was induced by an
other boy to 90 with him to the
house, of man and that the boy
went in and took 5000, and they
were afterwards overtaken by the
man and the money was returned
by the other boy, and he (Stabler)
had never had any of the money
in his hands. His understanding
was that this ended the matter and
they were not to be prosecuted.
He and the boy went 10 Mississip.
pi and Stabler left him there and
came to Texas.
He has made good his claim
that he has endeavored to live
right since he has been in Brazos
county, and the hope is INDUCED
that he will be able to get out OF
the trouble without difficulty. !
Sheriff Nall has notified Sheriff !
NJ. McP. Fountain of Monroe
county, Ala, who wired back yes
terday afternoon that he was leav- /
ing for Bryan.
The papers received by Sheriff |
Nall from Sheriff Fountain bear
the signature of Gov. b. B. Conner
Of Alabama, and TO the warrant
there is attached bond made out
IN the sum of $3.50. As the Eagle
understands il, however, this bond
,ould not be executed here.
