The Cavalier county experimental
farm, for which the state legislature of
two years ago made an appropriation of
$4,000 will be located one mile east of
Langdon. This matter was definitely
settled Friday last week when President
Worst and Prof Sheppard, of the state
agricultural college at Fargo, wrote the
local committee who have had the
selection of a suitable site for the farm
IN hand, that their final choice was the
nwA of Sec. 10 in Manila township.
This quarter section is known as the old
Nevin farm, forming part Of the McPhail
property, purchased a couple of years
ago by Memo Liebeler. The vailed
character of the soil conditions, the Vact
that there is both high ground and land
sloping both to the north and south, are
points that had materially to do with
determining the selection of this farm.
1t is understood there were three other
OF the ten sites inspected that came so
near to filling the requirements demand
ed that the choice was one made only
after careful inspection. This summer
buildings to the value of several thou
sane dollars will be erected and the
place put in shape for a start upon
agricultural lines next year.

anniversary service conducted Sunday
forenoon at the Presbyterian church by

states. On the twenty-sixth day Of

Three Stars tavern, which was destroy
ed in the devasting fire in that city a
few years ago, a little band OF men,
headed by John Wildey, organized the

tern continent. From this little band
has grown the largest fraternal order in
America, which today numbers nearly
one and three quarter millions OF
members in the United States and
Canada.

Careless Hunters.

Nearly all OF our exchanges since
the hunting season opened are more or
less filled with accounts of manning or
death. from the accidental or careless
discharge of guns in the woods. For the
most part the casualties may perhaps
be regarded as purely accidental, but
when men or boys are mistaken for
game-game ranging in size from
squirrel to deer-and filled full of shot
or dropped by rifle ball, it is difficult
to put so charitable construction on the
tragical act. 1t is penal offense at any
time, even in play, to point firearm-
loaded or unloaded-at human being,
and yet parties trudge through the
woods, often creep through the under
brush and climb over fences and walls,
with their fully charged guns aimed di-
rectly at companions in front or rear,
when a twig accidentally" catching
the trigger, or slight tap on the ham
mer would be almost sure to result in
manning or death. Every case of this
kind should be thoroughly investigated,
and, whenever gross carelessness is
proven, the offender should be punish
ed, instead, as is generally the case, of
receiving the COMMUNICATION and sympa-
thy of his friends over the great misfor-
tune assumed to have befallen him in
crippling or snuffing out the life of a
friend.

breeding ewes.
1t is better not to breed any sheep less
than two years old. Then you get bet
ter lambs and your ewes are apt to grow
to a much better size.
Sheep are dainty feeders. They will
not eat hay that other creatures have
mussed over. They refuse grain taken
from ratty crib.
As the pigs grow they will need con-
stantly increasing amount of food.
They should be fed all they will eat up

with wood ashes, rubbed with wood
