nothing feels the effect of this more

look at flock lying painting in the

of this.
The wool of the lambs being longer
than that of the eve makes them suf-
fer more than does the eve This
alone would check the growth of the
lamb, but the worst of all is the fact
that with the coming of the summers
heat the ewes flow of milk drops off.
The usual shortage of pasture at this
time is also conducive to this
With the falling off of the mothers

serious bacllset. What can the poor

the sparsest vegetation.

OF
FARM HORSES
Animals. In Combination WI tn
Modern Machinery, Have to
Great Extent Replaced
Human Labor.
cBy THOMAS p. cooPER.o

At present the horse is practically
the entire motive power of the farm.
In combination with improved farm
machinery the horse has, to a great
extent. replaced human labor. And
the modern farm depends as much
upon the efficiency of the horse that
is kept to perform the labor as it does
upon the use of the human labor upon
the farm In fact, the efficiency of
human labor upon the farm, and in
many instances the proper operation
of the farm, depends entirely upon
the farm horse We may readily un-
derstand, therefore, that the farm
horse is often the greatest single fac
tor in the success of the farming oper
ations 1t is essential, then, that the
farm horse be so cared for, and the
farm so organized, that a maximum
return on the horses labor can be
secured annually.
1t is true that horse owners gener
ally are not accustomed to look upon
the horses of the farm, or their labor,
as costing anything. The horse has
been considered SO much of a neces
sity, and so much a part OF the farm.
that the question of the cost of the
horse labor to the farm, or of the
methods by which such cost may be
decreased, has been very largely neg
lected The question of economy of
power on the farm is only brought up
at those times when consideration is
being given to some other form of
motive power than the horse. 1t is a
question, though. that-with increas-
ing cost of feed. of care, and larger
investment in horses-will constantly
become of greater and greater i'm
| portance.
The cost of horse labor depends
/ upon many conditions that vary on
| each farm. SO that costs are not SINH
lar on different farms However, the
items that make up cost are similar
on all farms, and only vary in amount.
1t is essential. then. that the farm
operator have an accurate knowledge
of what comprises cost. ard what ave-
rage costs are, that he may institute
such economies in his management as
seem desirable Carefully-kept rec.
0rds and accounts with the farm
horse, show that the average cost OF
horse labor on the farm is about eight
and o2e-half cents per hour. The rate
seldnm averages less. and generally
rms higher This means that the act
ual cost on the farm. of a horses
labor for ten-hour day. is SIS cents
or $40 for team

RANCHER MAKES FIND
OF A TURTLE TOTEM
DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE ON
THE CAPITOL GROUNDS IN
BISMARCK.

HARMON, May 17.-Some time ago
Coe Kiebert of Oliver county, living
north of Harmon P. O., discovered the
boulder outline of turtle on high
hill east of Ring Hill. This turtle ia.
tenn contains 100 stones varying from
two inches in diameter to fourteen
inches in diameter. The figure Is
twenty-four feet long and twenty-five
feet wide. H. c. Fish, curatod of the
state historical society went out and
plated the totem. This figure lies
east and west, with it's head pointing
directly east.
1t is not known what Indians built
these outlines, nor is it known the
real significance of the figure. Many
think it is totem of some tribes,
either of the Sioux or the Assiniboines.
1t has been told by few who have
seen them in Montana that these fig.
ures pointed toward water. This one
points toward a large spring near at
hand.
This totem is different from the
one the state historical society has
at Bismarck as the legs and tail have
a double row of stones, while the one
at Bismarck has single row. There
are probably a number of these in
Oliver county and it has been the
desire of the society to plat all of them
before they are destroyed.

Before the debate began, however,
there was considerable informal dis

the action of the rules committee in
moving the adoption of the sugar trust

The House adjourned yesterday
while the Democrats were fighting on

with a possible modification of the

JAMESTOWN, May. 17,-Consider'

the case of the state vs.. John Hagen
charged with serious statutory Of
tense was called. Bertha Hagen, the
complaining witness, upon entering the
door in the Justices Office, caught
sight OF her father for the first time
since his attempted suicide, April Is.
and the young woman Immediately fell
over, fainting dead away. She was
taken at once to the Offices of Car &
Kneeland nearby and DR.. Art was
called to render restoratives. The
girl was aroused but was so hysteri.
cal that the court was unable to con-

until Wednesday morning. Hagen
has also recovered from the self in.

being kept in the county Jail. Bertha
Hagen has been in charge of Humane
Officer Blake waiting the trial of her
father.
1t appears that the state will have
difficulty in obtaining corroboroting

WASHINGTON, May 17-Henry L..
Stimson, who has just been appointed
secretary of war to succeed Henry
NJ. Dickinson, first came into the
public eye five years ago when as
United States district attorney for the
southern district of New York he sue
cessfully prosecuted a number of the
big railroads accused of giving rebates
to the sugar trust. These cases cul-
minated in the prosecution of the sug-
ar trust itself for violation of the Gus
toms laws, and a verdict of guilty
by jury returned $3,435,363 into the
United States treasury in fines and
back duties. Another big financial
case of the Stimson regime was the
prosecution of Charles w. Morse and
his conviction for wrecking the Ma
tional Bank Of America. When the
Republican progressives got control
of the Saratoga convention last year
Theodore Roosevelt made Mr.. Stim-
son his candidate for governor and
brought about his nomination, which
was followed by his defeat at the
polls. Mr.. Stimson is forty-three years
old and is a member of the law firm of

Root was formerly member.

MAMMOTH
SHOW FOR

Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor w. C. Gilbreath has decided tt
hold an industrial show in the state
of North Dakota during the year OF
1911 on q date to be determined later
1t is planned at this show to have
each county Of the state participate
in q atfriendly contest for the purpose
of seeing which will have the best ex-
hibit of agricultural, dairying and
manufacturing products which each
county produces. In addition to these
exhibits there will be educational, de-
mestic science and art departments,
all under the supervision of competent
instructors. All branches of agricul-
ture, horticulture, dairying, manufac.
turing, educational work, as well as
all the arts and sciences will be en-
braced in this stupendous exhibition.
The commissioner has not deter
mined which city of the state the ex-
hibition will be held in but has Nrit-
ten letter to the president of seven
teen of the commercial clubs of the
seventeen largest cities of the state
and has submitted the proposition.
The club which makes the best bona
fide offer in cash and buildings will
get the exhibition.
The exhibition as proposed has met
with the approval and sanction of the
officials of the state and will be state
wide in scope. 1t will probably ex-
tend over a period of twenty days or
more and should attract to the town
which gets it thousands and thousands
of people. Says Mr.. Gilbreath in the
letter he is sending out to the COM
mercial clubs:
Oregon has had it's Lewis and
Clark exhibition; Washington its
Seattle shows; Montana its dry farm !
ing and booster congress-; South Da.
kota has has its corn show and will :;
hold its semicentennial exposition in
June; Minnesota, in addition to it's (,
many other meetings, will have the Ma
tional Corn show in December. Why

lion to attract people, exhibit its prod
