CHEAP FEED FOR FARMERS.
There is no expense in connection with the
ming of farm, large small, that any where
equals the feed bill. II you do not believe 1t, just

feed bill be cut down? The answer is very simple.
Raise
There has been year when fodder corn
in North Dakota did not make good crop, ana
nearly every year, the early varieties OF corn Will
ripen in this part of the state and many years We
can ripen every variety. Cattle and horses do e.
ceptionally we'll in the winter months when fed en-
cusively on corn fodder and if they are thus fed,
there will be great saving in hay and oats.
There has been shipped into Minot so far this
year thousands Of bushels of corn and this is only
a portion Of the feed that has been shipped In.
This could all been raised right here at practically
no expense to the farmer as the corn could have
been raised on land loft for summer fallow ana
aside from the feed received the land would bs
placed in a condition to produce twice a. much
wheat the following year. farmer right In this
reighborhood last year raised % bushel Of wheat

Judge Buttz acting for Judge Cowan, denied the
petition Of E. N. Bottom Of Devils Lake, for drug
gsts permit Giving his reasons the Judge says there
have been all together too many colds" at Edmore.
During the past year. this druggist made over 5000
sales of liquor, the number varying from 243 to
500 per month. Several persons seemed to be
troubled with bad cold the year round. An ex-
animation of 1900 Of the afidavits shows that OF
that number but % sales were made for other dis
eases than a cold. In conclusion the Judge says.
"The evidence of the applicant shows that he is
not familiar with the provisions of the permit law
and that he does not make record daily or before
the same are delivered of sales of intoxicating
nqours, is required by this law. Upon the whole
evidence the unbiased mind cannot but conclude
that large portion of applicants sales were made
contrary to the provision of the statute that the
holder Of such permit shall not sell ntoxicat-
ing liquors to any person whom he has reason to
believe desires the same to use as a beverage"

and her clothes are neat and clean 1t would be
fairly hard matter to convince majority OF
Minot women that they ought not spend more than
ten dollars year for their wearing apparel.

Cowan from the very start and that $4,000
could have been used for much better purpose.
