VALUE OF THE HOG ON FARM
No Animal Will Make More Money
Declares Illinois Expert.

There is no animal that can make
more money on the farm than the hog.
It has we'll been called the mortgage
litter, and that is just the kind Of a
litter that many a North Dakota farm
er needs on his farm.
There is good deal in tbs care and
management of hogs. Most Of the
gains should be made on pasture as
grain is the most expensive feed for
making growth. The best presentation
Of hog raising is the book ''Swine' by
VIM. Dietrich, professor of swine hus-
bandry in the Illinois agricultural col
lege and experiment station. lie has
worked out the subject into many of
it's details. He has worked out new
feeding standard which maks it posi-
BILE to make gains at lees cost of feed.
He lays great stress on feeding var
iety Of feeds. He has found that the
variety Of feeds aids digestion. He en-
phasizes the value Of exercise, having
found that it is very necessary aid
to good vigorous digestion.
In the summer the hog will take the
necessary exercise if on pasture In
the winter he should be provided with
long lane. The hogs are fed at one
end of it and teir sleeping quarters are
at the other end. This makes it neces.
sary for Mr.. Hog to make at least
three trips day, by feeding oftenel
more trips would result.
Mr.. Dietrich has also worked out a
! new hog house. By his arrangement
he gets sunlight into all parts of it
He also uses the small movable hos

EVEN CARL OBJECTS,

Carl Nelson, Democrat, an appo:n-
tee of Governor Burke and a fighter for
the Democratic machine, evidently OBJ
jects to seeing the unwritten law OF
sportsmen violated if the following,
taken fro mhis weekly letter to the Can.
do Democrat can be taken as a criter.
ion:
On Sunday. August 18th, the Game
and Fish Board consisting of Messrs.
Il. Fox. Herman Winterer, Bierly and
Lamb and Secretary Casey, accompan-
led by Chief Game Warden Stenvick Of
Minot, were at Fish Lake to hold a
meeting, inspect the fish hatchery and
enjoy an outing. Capt. Main hustled
around to provide entertainment for his
visitors and saw to it that they were
provided with boats, fishing tackle and
seines, in order that they might inspect
his work as fish commissioner and have
a little sport OH the side. All of the
visitors, excepting Mr.. Casey, went fish
ing-but they found the angling in
Fish Lake rather slow and turned their
boats into Gravel Lake, which has been
used by Mr.. Main as a breeding pond
and which, by common consent, has
peen left untouched by the anglers on
that account. The members of the
board had legal right to fish in
Gravel Lake, tho there was an unwrit,
ten law against it-but they did not
stop there. Procuring Mr.. Main g nets
they proceeded to test the pregnant
waters of the little lake and scooped
in great quantities of perch. Some OF
the smaller fish were thrown back into

the water, but the larger specimens
We're taken across Fish Lake to Pres
colts where a great banquet was
spread, in which Gravel Lake perch
figured as the principal delicacies.
1t is needless to say that this unpara-
lleled infraction of the law, by the
very ones who had been chosen to en-
force it, raised a tornado of protests
among the summer residents Of the
lake When confronted by the numer-
Gus protests, the members of the board
made a bad situation worse by claiming
that they had right to set aside the
law and make it imperative, for their
own purposes.
Since the fish hatchery was establish
ed nobody ever thought of fishing in
Gravel Lake. though there is no law
to prevent anybody from doing so, but
as for seining. that is a different mat
ter, and the members of the. board and
the chief game warden who violated
the law are just as guilty as any pri-
waite citizen would be i'll similar case.
and ought to be dealt with by an even
handed justice

GETTING PUBLICITY.

asked repeatedly: "What would be

At the Commercial club meeting held
last week some little time was taken
up with discussion Of the amount of
vacant land in Ramsey county and the
amount that was for SALE Though
there were three of the most prominent
residents of the county present, not one
could give near the exact figure That
would be one of the duties Of a trained
Publicity man.

NIISAPPLIED ZEAL

1t is hard for anyone to figure out
any logical reason why Contractor
Gram so far exceeded his instructions
as to have lettered on the front stones
Of the new fire hall the unsightly work
that now stands there. Outside of the
fact that two of the names are mis-
spelled, that the lettering is crude and
not artistic, it is still apparent that the
stones on which they have been cut
is no place for the names in any event
Had the corner stones been utilized for
that purpose or had the committee au-
thoriZed memorial tablet bearing the
names Of the entire city council and
officials in charge Of the job, it might
have remained, but i'll its present con

TIE AGRICULTURAL SHOW.


The World is in receipt of the prem
ium list issued by Commissioner Gill
breath in preparation for the big Ag-
ricultural show which is slated for Bis
marck this month.
The booklet is neat, attractive and
filed with descriptions of competitive
exhibits that should call forth the Lest
energies of every county in the state
The Exposition is an excellent thing
for the state. 1t will prove to me Wis
itors the splendid resources of North
Dakota. It will allow the farmers
from diffcreat parts of the state TO
become acquainted with the methods
used in other sections and will show
them what can be done in North Da-
kota soil. 1t is probable that large por-
tions of the exhibits at Bismarck will
be taken to the Northwestern Land
Show at st. Paul, where they will give
the state greater publicity.
Commissioner Gilbreath is asking the
active cooperation Of every county in
the state and he should receive it. An
exhibit is not hard to secure if prop
err methods are used and Ramsey coun-
ty is in position to make showing
tllat VIII De uaTu 10 equal. ne ScnOOlS
of Ramsey county are as active and
enterprising as any in the state and
should be asked to DIN in the compe-
tition offered in that class. The farmers
would all be willing to send some of
the samples of grain that they have Sc.
cured and the good housewives of the
county are in a position to walk away
with many of the culinary prizes.
The Commercial club will hold a
meeting on Friday evening and the
uestion of preparing and sending an
exhibit to Bismarck should be one OF
the first matters brought up.

PUBLICITY.

Probably no address that has ever
been delivered before the Commercial
club created as many comments or ar
oused such enthusiasm as did the talk
given by G. c. Connolly last Friday
evening OH the need of more people ~
Ramsey county. His arguments, which
were concise and based on facts. made
even the older members sit up and take
notice and opened their eyes to the
real reason why there was not entire
cooperation between the people and the
club.
With the expensive club rooms in
which the club is housed and its cost OF
maintenance. there is little money left
for other purposes after the running
expenses have been paid During the
past six months there has been but a
tritlin. amount paid for real publicity
though hundreds have been collected
from dues. AS result there has been
no movement to advertise the county
as it should be. The energy of the club
has been devoted to taking care Of peo-
pie who come to Devils Lake from 9th
er parts Of the state. people who
could not be secured ~ new settlers
and who would not satisfy the crying
need if they could be induced to come.
This has aroused unfavorable comment
among the business men who feel tnat
the social side Of the club which is not
literally patronized is eating up the
money that they put in. which should
go for advertising purposes
There is but one remedy and it is
a cure that should be applied at once.
4 secretary should be secured who
could give his entire time to the work.
A trained publicity man, versed in the
art of boosting community and equip
ped with the systems used in other
parts Of the country.
The World, at the risk of being Sc
verelv criticized for its forwardness,
would suggest the adjustment of the
club rooms and the secural of an Office
in the new fire hall, where the secretary
could devote his time purely to public
ity work. Eliminate committees and
fractional differences will be forgotten,
centralize the work and something will
be accomplished. AT present the Com
mercial club is paying approximately
$1,000 a year for rent and about $3.50
per annum for light. This amount, to-
gether with the $500 now paid the see
rotary would secure trained man. We
also belive that such move would
tend to bring in new members and
would hasten the old ones into liquid
alton of their obligations.
The average business man would viii
linsly give s25 year to Publicity
Bureau if he felt that all Of the money
was to be spent to benefit the commun
ity.
The suggestion is made in the best OF
spirit and after interviews with large
number Of business men, the majorit!
oil whom were heartily in favor OF the
plan.
! 1t is the intention of The World te
take Up the subject of Publicity ant
its possibilities here from several diff
ferent standpoints in the hope that TIL
local club may see fit to adopt metho'
that will bring people to Ramsey eoun
ty and thus benefit not only Devil
Lake but the source from which thu
city draws its income-the agriculture
community.

The Fargo Courier-News has the fol

be appreciated by local people who know
that gentleman reputation for ready
answers:
Ed. Wilson, the good looking presi-
dent of the North Dakota Improve
mcnt company, was wrathy yesterday
morning. Yes, he was more than
wrathy, he was mad.
Dressed in a clean boiled shirt and
his other Sunday toggery, he got into
his big automobile with the balance Of
his family, to go into the country,
where they had been invited to a game
game dinner.
Everything went along nicely until
the struck the corner near the Moody
store. Here a ten penny nail that was
standing on its head ran its point
squarelv into the tire of the machine.
There was a noise of escaping air,
few bumps, and after the car was stop
ped Mr.. Wilson descended.
He saw what the matter was and
at once proceeded to take out his jack
and get busy. while the occupants Of
the ear sat still. ever and anon making
suggestions and remarks, which the
president paid not bit of attention to.
Seeing that he was in distress the us
ual crowd Of 100 gathered about the
machine and they in turn proceeded to
give advice, while Mr. Wilson s plated
boiled shirt began to show oil spots on
it.
Mr.. Wilson is short and stout and be-
ing unused to tugging at an automobile
he grew red in the face, and when some
one asked him what the matter was, he
might have been excused for saying,
"Dam fno.'
He wasn't, however, for lady in
the auto seat calmly remarked:
"Edward' and he grew redder still.
He was there for nearly an hour, and
then one of his friends came up and
said:
"Having some trouble, Ed?" at
which Mr.. Wilson said:

underside of this machine, so if it turns
