MAN |27 YEARS
OLD IS DEAD
"Nigger Lou" Williams Answers
Call at Crane Forks County
Poor Farm.

"Nisyer Lou" Williams" the old
man Of North Dakota, died early Sun
day at the Grand Forks county pO0l
farm and hospital at Arvilla, where
he has been forseveral years. Williams
had been seriously i'll for several days
and his death was not unexpected
lie had been growing feebler year by
year but was able to be about and
look after his chickens up to the last
few days of his life. lie was particu-
larly fond of chickens and the fowls
were each known to him by name and
responded to his call
Williams s face was like parchment
and scanned with the wrinkles Of
years. His ryc>iyh1 was rather de-
feet i've but he, had wonderful MEM
ory for his friends and recognized
them easily when he heard their
voices. Attired in {; shiny silk hat
and clothes in harmony, Williams
visited Grand Forks each year and
called on his acullalntanceS. lie was
Il fine example Of the better class of
negro and his long life is believed to
be largely due to the simple life he
led
USED TOBACCO AND LIQUOR.
Williams smoked from youth until
a few years before his death. He
drank liquor in moderate quantities.
lie quit tobacco during his last year
because he believed it to be bad for
his health.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon at the poor farm and many of
the old timers mourned the demise of
the CHEEKY colOred man, the oldest
that North Dakota has ever known.--

tramping the silage during the filling,
doors which extend into the silo are
not serious objection, though per.
fectly flush doors are certainly an ad.
vantage. A vertical wall is the only
satisfactory wall to use, as a wall in.
clined outward will support the silage
to certain extent and prevent its
settling satisfactorily, thus creating
air pockets. When the wall is in.
cltned inward the silage will settle
away from it. In the case of con.
crete silos with tapered walls, these
should be vertical on the inside.
Best results are obtained where the
silage is uniformly distributed
throughout the silo and is carefully
packed near the walls and around the
doors by tramping. Care should be
taken that the heavy and light Dor.
lions shall be uniformly mixed. Some
silo owners are of the opinion that
great amount of tramping is unneces.
sary, but the investigations of the
writer's would indicate that where
tramp1ng was not followed there was
always certain amount of spoiled
silage and that the money spent for
labor used in thoroughly tramping the
silage in the silo when filled brought
good returns.
1t is desirable to prevent the freez.
ing of silage in the silo during cold
weather as far as possible and the
silo Of a construction to prevent freez.
ing to the largest degree is the prefer.
able one, other things being equal. II
is difficult to make a comparison be.
tween the merits of the various types
Of silos in this respect owing to the
inability to find them under like con.
ditions. Freezing of silage is due tc
loss Of heat; first, through the silo
wall; and second, to the air in contact
with the feeding surface. The first
loss may be reduced by using a non.
conducting wall in the silo and the
second by preventing the circulation
of air above the silage in the silo.

Cold STORAGE Meat,

The muscular tissue of chickens
kept in q solidly frozen condition at
l3 degrees Fahrenheit shows marked
astrological changes even after one
month in cold storage, according to
Pennington and st. John. These
changes are progressive. and at the
end of six months many muscle fibers
are scarcely recognizable. The OBJ
servations have been made on chick
ems of known history and which have
been carefully kept, and upon chick
ems Of the ordinary market type. The
latter have been examined after stor-
age periods Of two and three years, as
we'll as when stored for comparatively
short lengths Of time.

DAIRY IMPROVEMENT.

1t is impossible to build up and
maintain a dairy herd except through
discriminating selection, and this can
only be attained where careful rec.
ords are kept and a high standard
Of excellence sought.
The keeping of records need no,
be a costly undertaking. Weighing
the milk twice a week. testing the
herd by means of the Babcock test,
and adjusting the ration according to
the amount of milk given by the COW,
will insure the owners obtaining larg.
er returns, effecting a great saw.
ing in the cost Of foodstuffs, and
increasing the average productive
capacity of his herd through the
elimination Of improbable animals.
Records enable the dairyman to de.
termine the kind and amount Of food
required for herd, says Farm and
Home, and he can thus plan out his
crop rotations to the best advantage
and determine what is the best form
of concentrates to purchase for bal.
ancing up his rations.
