COMPLICATED LAW SUIT

A rather complicated case ives
heard by Judge Leighton Friday.
The Mcclure Coal Co. advanced
a sum of money to Philip Ker.
stein, a north prairie farmer,
taking a chattA mortgage on
some of his property. A receiver
was appointed.
Jourgen Olson, who held a
mortga, e against Kerstein's
land, got a sheriff's deed to the
land before all Of the crop Was
harvested. Olson and the Me-
Clure Coal Co. both claim the
crop.
A A Robinson furnished the
seed grain to Kerstein, the Nc.
Clure Coal Co. going good for
same.

RAISES GRAIN
FOR THE STRAW

Mandan News: II raise grain
for the straw" was a rather IN.
usual statement made recently
| by William Nickel Of Judson.
Yes, you fellows laugh" he
added, but l mean just what
said. raise grain for the straw,
for during the past ten years
have made more clean profit from
feeding the straw to stock than
have from the grain. A few
years ago got hold of $25, took
it TO the bank, deposited it, took
a check book and started out
among my neighbors. When
ever l found a yearling for sale l
bought it if ] could, giving a
check for 81. After I had the
stock purchased l went back to
the bank. mortgaged the cattle
and FINISHED paying for them.
l got the stock home and fed
them wheat straw when they
could not rustic; when the wheat
straw was gone fed oat straw;
when that was finished fed hay
until they could go on pasture
Many Of those long yearlings I
bought during the winter sold
the following fall for twice what
l had paid for them. I have fol-
lowed that plan for number of
years. When / had an abund-
ance of straw l let the stock run
to the stacks, and if was short
l fed it out. The most of the
work with MY stock has been
during the seasons Of the year
when / could not work at any,
thing else.
And here is another thing for
you fellows to think of. I've put
more barnyard fertilizer back on
my land than any farmer in Nor
ton county. My plan is to fall
pillow part of my land and after
it freezes up l spread with a ma
nure spreader six loads per acre.
This will not leave it so thick
but that a drill and harrow will
work it nicely. That means more
grain and more straw for the
next CROP"
Though Mr.. Nickel is still a
young man. he is known through
out Morton county as a finan-
cially successful grain and live
stock farmer.

8 dependent on plentiful supply Of

The value of a good dust bath has
been mentioned in the discussion OF
preventives against lice. Fowls do
aot thrive at their best without 1t.
Fine road dust makes the best ma
:erial for dust bath This can be
secured during the fall or summer
and stored away for winter use. Dust
from heavy clay soils has tendency

ashes with the dust will help correct
this difficulty. although ashes are OBJ
Iectionable to a certain degree, as they

according as the materials are wasted
or fouled by the hens.
It is usually mere guess work to
tell the age of hen by her appear
ance after she has passed the pullet
stage. To the good poultrymen it is
important that the exact age of every
fowl on his premises is known. Hens
past the age of profit can thus be
culled out and their places taken by
younger stock. Legbands with num-
bers may be used when the pullets
arrive at maturity, and. If records are
kept, the identity of each fowl can
always be established Another meth
cd which should be followed by every
poultryman is to punch hole in one
of the four webs of the feet, each web
representing certain year. Special
punches for this purpose may be pur-
chased from any poultry supply house,
but a small size leather belt punch can
be used to good advantage. The hole
Is punched very easily when the newly
Matched chick Is first taken from the
nest or incubator. All of one sea-
sons chicks may be marked on the
same web, although if special matings
are to be kept separately, as high as
fifteen combination can be used. If
properly done the hole or traces Of
the scar will always remain and the
identity of the fowl can scarcely be
lost

Care Of the Bulls Feet,

The feet OF bull demand more or
less attention, especially If he is
rather closely confined and getting a
liberal supply Of grain. The feet
should be trimmed so that the animal
always has the proper use of the
same. Some bulls are as easily han
died as gentle horse, and their feet
can be trimmed without the slightest
difficulty.
However, this is rather the excep-
ton than the rule. The most satisfac-
tory way is to put the animal in stocks
and raise it off it's feet. Then, by
strapping the foot to be trimmed
solid to beam, so that the sole will
be facing upward, the operation can
be executed with pincers and chisel
In few minutes
Care should be taken to avoid cut
ting too deep or into the sensitive
part OF the foot as this would be very
likely to cause bleeding and lame
/ ness.
