The hog grower of the future in

Food for the GROWING Cali.

Growing calves should have such
food as insures growth. Fat is not
needed in the dairy calf. The food in
winter should be clover, hay, oats or
bran, bright straw may be fed also,
and roots for variety. Keep the calves
comfortable, summer and winter, and
growth will follow as a natural re-

HUNT FOR PLATE.
French Expedition Placed on Butte in
Vicinity Of Dickinson.

Dickinson.-One of the most inter-
esting tales told about the western part
of North Dakota and which has been
a subject of debate for some time, is
the location of the buttes mentioned in
the early history of the country, when
a representative of French exploring
party placed a lead plate upon high
hill in the vicinity of Dickinson, which
set up a claim to the territory in the
name Of the king of France.
The state historical and the national
government have been working over
old histories and diaries to ascertain
the exact LOCATION of this plate; as it
will establish some claims in old treat
les affecting the Indians and the. French
nation. This tablet was placed upon
the hill some time in the year lao and,
buried beneath some stone. to prevent
the Indians from destroying or carry
ing it away. .'', ~ .s;$ +:
The finder of this tablet, or if it has
already been discovered. is, lin the way,
of having his fortune made. as large
wards have been offered for it.

Churches and Tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi-
nary church congregation have been
issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber.
culosis. From reports received from
over 725 churches, with a membership
of over $4,000 communicates O!
twenty denominations, and from 20s
cities and towns in IL states in vari-
GUS parts of the country, out of nearly
1000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10
per cent. were caused by tuberculosis.
This means 2.24 deaths for every thou
sand members or communicates.
While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
eases is not higher in the churches.
according to these figures, than in the
country at large, the tuberculosis
death rate. as shown by the church
returns. is higher per thousand COM
municants than. that for the general
populations IN the registration area of

bureau gave as 1.67 in 1909.

GETS PERMISSION
NORWEGIAN AMBASSADOR Will
SPEAK At GRAND FORKS
ON MAY II.
WINS OVER MANY CITIES
Committee Held Meeting and Arranged
for Monster Celebration Of Nor,
wssian independence Day
Big Attractions.

Grand Forks-Helmer HI. Bryn, Nor
wegian ambassador to the United
States. will speak in Grand Forks, May
IL, at one of the biggest celebrations
of Norway's Independence Day ever
held in this country.
A committee of IL prominent Nor
wegians met at. the office Of H.. Ben
deke, Norwegian vice consul, and made
arrangements for this celebration and
present indications point to one of the
largest gatherings held in Grand Forks
for years.
Bryn to speak, here has been under way
for several months and the credit of
the successful venture is largely due
to Vice Consul Bendeke In January,
when Mr.. Bendelxe was bound ovean-
ward on his European trip. he stopped
over in Washington and asked Ambas-
sador Bryn If he could come to Grand
Forks on May IL. No answer was
possible at that time. 1t is well
known fact that foreign governments
do not allow their representatives in
foreign countries to travel to other
cities than the capitol to make speech
es or appear in any public way without
permission. The matter was taken up
with the Norwegian government, how
ever, and several days ago Ambassador
Bryn was notified that the government
would be more than glad to have him
appear in Grand Forks. Grand Forks
is located in the center of a district
where the largest percentage of Nor
wegians of the United States are To-
Gated. and for this reason the govern
ment has directed their representa-
tive in this country to come to North
Dakota and while here he will make a
detailed study of farming methods, how
the people live and look into conditions
generally.
1t is a matter of pride to the city
that in securing Ambassador Bryn sew
eral places in the United States, some
of them many times larger than Grand
Forks, were not given the preference

eLANDEREo HORSES.
Many That Were Killed at Portal Will
Be DisalIowed by State.

Bismarck-Thorough investigation of
the claims that have been filed with
the state auditor for glandered horses
killed at Portal, through which so many
horses have been shipped to Canadian
points within the last few years, is
to be made by the state auditing
board before such claims are allowed.
Such Investigations will result in a great
many of the $50 claims on file being
disallowed for the reason that such
claims do not come within the spirit of
glandered horse indemnity law.
Horses that have been examined at
Portal were done away with as a re-
suit Of examinations that were re-
quired before the horses could be ship
ped into Canada. The major. portion
of I, the 'emigrants preferred. having
these inspections made in North Dakota
and in the event that the horses were
glandered. they thus could present q
claim to the state.
Inspection of the horses isa. made
necessary by the Canadian immigra-
horses reached Canadian soil, they
would be subjected to inspections.
Such horses as are found by the
Canadian authorities to be infected
with CHAMBERS are killed and the own
ers have no redress. ~s
E,nigrants to Canada losing their
horses at Portal by reason Of being
infected with. CHAMBERS are looked upon
by the state auditing board as be-
ing residents of Canada rather than
of this state. In fact, in many in
stances it is even claimed that the
horses killed came from points out of
the state. When the emigrant reaches
Portal on Ibis way ito Canada:;asta
rule he has already filed on a Cana
dian homestead and therefore is a
subject of the dominion government
Within the last month the state ,au-
ditor has paid~about 500 of the CLAM
dered horse Claims and in addition to
the $50 Portal claims that are held
up. there still remain about $50 claims
to be cared for.
