erings was that the public at large finally
got an idea that certain men who met
there at intervals met for the purpose
,.of running the Republican party of this
state in their own special interests.
From this idea, whether true or not,
came the revolt and the insurgent fac
ton. And this idea was developed more
from the fact that such gatherings were
to certain extent secret, and were not
representative of the people, than from
any particular wrongs done there to the
people.
The men who have howled loudest
against the convention or representative
system of nominations, are now proving
the very necessity of such nominations.
They have passed primary law and
are now breaking it's provisions which
abolished conventions, and hold meet
ings which are as private and personal
as those held in st. Paul.
( Perhaps after all we will finally have
to adopt the old convention system along
with the primary law; that is, with the
principles of the so-called White bill by
which the convention makes the nomi-
nations and then under some sort of ref
erendum rule submit the nominations
made to the party for confirmation or re-
lection at the primary.
Anyway, it seems necessary to hold
conventions, even by the people who are
opposed to conventions-primary or no
primary.

THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEM.

Some insurgents numbering from fifty
to one hundred, according to different
reports met at Valley City last week to
consult on campaign matters. A publi-
cation committee was appointed to tell
as much as they thought necessary for
the public to know, and the rest IS their
own business.
The Grand Forks Herald says that
the stalwart press will jump on the fact
Of this meeting with both feet, though
these people had a perfect right to meet
and consult if they chose. But, Incl
dentally, before it gets through with it's
remarks, it takes occasion to Jump with
all it's four feet on the old time custom
of meetings at the Merchants Hotel in
st. Paul for similar purposes, and by the
same token thereby criticises some of the
very men at the Valley City meeting
who were common participants in the
Merchants Hotel meetings of other
years.
The notable feature of the Valley City
meeting is, that the fact proves beyond
question that such meetings are neces-
sary, and in fact is the only sensible
thing to do. Parties and politics can.
not run themselves without some sort of
organization. Politics is a business.
While in general way it is everybody's
business, yet the old proverb holds here
as everywhere, 'That which is every
body's business is nobody's business" {"
Naturally some men will for various rea-
sons be more interested in political mat
ters than others. Naturally some men
will take the lead in party organization
and management. There is nothing
wrong in these things. When done with
right motives and purposes it is COM
mendable.
Where the @insurgent" press have laid
themselves open is that they were the
first to begin . universal howl against
such political meetings, ~ indeed, the
principal platform Of the 'insurgents''
of this state began Eith and has con.
tinued to be revolt against the Msr-
chants Hotel political gatherings and
state conventions, and now that they find
similar meetings necessary in carrying
out the revolt, it is not remarkable il
other papers remark on their lncon-
siatsncy.
But il such meetings are found 70 be
needed il order to carry ont, party 81
partisan work, wouldn't il be better Is
have such msstinss really repressnta-
tive, rather than 70 = attsnded y just

should not be set in the floor, az
slop will sour under them in
warm weather and rats may burrow
beneath.
If it is desired to feed pigs away
from the sows the floor can be fenced
in and doors made in the fence that
will keep all but the pigs out. A floor
that is 16 feet wide and 80 feet long
will furnish space for about 100 pigs
or car load of fattening hogs, and
will cost for materials only around
$50 to $40. Feeding can be made very
convenient by building a combination
corn crib and granary adjoining the
floor. In the granary part a variety
of feeds can be kept, also a feed
cooker and other adjuncts. This is
very good arrangement for small
farm.

CURSE WAS ON GREAT HOTEL

curious tradition fingers around
the Savoy Hotel, London, where some
wonderful alterations have just been
carried out. When this great estab-
lishment was first opened it had a
singular run of ill-luck. One of the
directors, seeking to learn the cause
of it, was told an odd story The land
on which the hotel was built had for
merly belonged to a monastic order
which was expelled at the Reforma-
ton, the property being confiscated.
On leaving, the abbot had cursed the
ground, declaring that any enterprise
connected with it should not prosper.
On hearing this tale the director
sought out a monastery of the eX-
PEELED order which still exists in
Devonshire, and by much tact and
diplomacy induced the abbot there to
go through the form of removing the
curse. No one who is aware of the
position the Savoy holds in London
today can doubt that the removal was
effective.

barrel. 1t should then be allowed
to lie three or four days when it
should be rubbed with another portion
of the mixture and three or four days
later repeat the operation with the
remainder. 1t should then be packed
tightly In a barrel. After lying three
or four days 1t is ready to hang up.
IL must be kept in a cellar or some
place where 1t will not freeze while
the curing process Is going on. When
applying the salt and sugar mixture
it is more convenient If one has two
barrels to use at the same time.
A great many people do not seem
to understand that smoking meat does
not cure it except as the warmth from
the fire causes the moisture to evapo-
rate. There is no particular virtue
in the smoke itself and meat could be
as well cured by any kind of slow
gentle heat even II no smoke came
from it. However the heat from
clean, fresh hickory chips can never
be improved upon and If people be
lievc that the quality of the meat is
improved by the sweet odor from
this form certainly no harm will be
done. The main thing is TO keep the
heat regular and at low point in or
der that the moisture may be drawn
out from the meat evenly.

CBy S. c. MILLER1


In these days OF salt peter, benzoate
of soda, formate and other dope
used by the big manufacturers in
the curing of nearly everything we
eat, / wonder why more of our farmers
do not preserve their own foods,
particularly meats. 1t seems to me
there is more danger in the use of
preservatives in the use of meats than
anything else, and picking of meats
on the farm is such simple matter
that every man who kills his own pigs
should in addition 10 hams and bacon
put down a barrel Of meat picked.
Properly cared for, IL is delicious at
certain seasons of the year on the

method was always used. No better
meats were ever put on the farmers

has to be removed to secure a solid
surface it may be necessary to fill in
with ashes before the sand Is spread
In this case the ashes should be rolled
if possible, at least, made as solid as
can be with the means at hand. In
the meantime the retaining wall
should be put in. This should be made
of concrete six inches wide and ten
or twelve inches high, so that the
base will rest on firm soil. The cor
ners may be reinforced with old iron
rods or wire If such material is at
hand.
The bricks should now be laid,
breaking joints, and when all down
a half inch of fine sand should be
spread over the surface of the same
to fill the crevices. If a firm founda-
tion is provided for the brick there
will be no danger of the brick heav-
ing or working out. The troughs

SAILOR SAVED BY HIS CAT

Writing in a London (Eng) paper,
an officer relates a most curious In
stance of a cat unintentionally saving
the life of man. Some time ago he
says, he Y as in a collision catastrophe
in which steamer sunk a sailing
ship in the Atlantic. The steamers
boats were promptly lowered, and,
Notwithstanding the darkness (it was
night saved a number of the crew of
the sailing ships. Those in charge of
the boats, thinking that they had
saved all, were about to return to
their steamer. when they heard the
piteous mewing os cat. Rowing up
to the sound, they lifted a cat out Of
the water and as she was raised the
head of a man rose from under her
He was the last of the men of the
sailing ship, and the cat had taken
refuge on his head. He was uncon-
scious, but was resuscitated. so all
the men were saved.

The greatest mother in the world.

ate vicinity there being to this time

fact that she can boast OF a total OF

MANY ADVANTAGES WITH
CONCRETE FEEDING FLOOR
Prevents Feed From Being TrampIed Com
tributes Health of Animals Lessenin9
Chances

Since the advent of high-priced
corn and hogs, feeding floors of a
more permanent nature than those
made of wood are receiving a good
deal Of attention, writes L.. e. Trocger
of Iowa in Orange Judd Farmer. The
advantages of a floor of some kind of
material like brick or cement over
plank need not be argued There are
a good many feeding floors made of
the first named material to be found
throughout the corn belt, and without
exception they are proving a good in
vestment.
In short, he main points in favor
of a feeding floor of permanent ma
ture is that it Is a feed-saver, as 1t
prevents feed from being tramped in
to the mud; it provides solid founda-
ton for troughs. prevents mudholes
around tToughs, and undoubtedly con-
tributes to the health of the pigs by
lessening the chances of infection by
