RECEPTION FOR
DON DENSN0RE
Hundreds Of Minot Admirers Pay Re-
spects to the Best Horse In the
World--Just Returned from Arizo

Don Denswore, the best horse in
the world today, so all Of the noted
horsemen say, arrived last week from
Phoenix, Ariz., where he beat the
best Of 'em and won the $4,000
stake. So many Minot people de-
sired to see the horse since his series
of successes, that a reception was
planned Wednesday afternoon at
stearns' garage. Hundreds visited
the garage during the afternoon and
evening to see the five year old pau.
ing stallion, which appeared at his
best.
Talks were made by Major Murphy,
D. A. Dinnie, the owner, and others
and if Don could only have under
stood, all that was being said about
him, he would have been fattered
indeed. Mr.. Murphy called atten-
ton to the fact that the climate of
North Dakota is conducive to the rear
ing of strong horses, which fact
ought to be considered by stock rails
ers of all kinds. Don Densmore is
said by all horsemen to have the
best lung power of any horse in the
world, responsible to a degree for his
being the fastest horse in the har-
ness today. The horse now has
record Of 2:02 IA which he is expec-
ted to lower next year.
Major Murphy spoke particularly Of
the good advertising that Minot has
received from this horse. About sew
enty-five millions Of dollars are spent
in this country annually for advertis-
ing purposes, and Mtnot received more
dollars worth Of 1t from this horse
than one can imagine.
Mr.. Theurer read the genealogy of
this wonderful Hambletonian stallion,
which shows that Don is no accident.

When starting to wean litter, take
the largest pigs away first.
The best bed for a horse is a clay
floor covered thickly with straw.
They will begin to eat when they
are month old If they are given the
chance.
1t is always best to get tho little
pigs eating crushed grain or whole
oats as quickly as possible.
II sows are expected to raise q fall

pigs at from eight to ten weeks old.

Pigs should not be too fat for the

bone and muscle should be the first
consideration.

demand and the farmer who breeds
them constantly is the one who makes
the most profit in horses. ,

Medium sized hogs are now most in

Questions Answered by Members Of
the North Dakota Agricultural
College Faculty.

Is there any advantage in harrow
ing fall plowing in the spring?
Ans. prof. r. c. Doneghue): II fail
plowed land is narrowed in the spring
there is less loss of water by evapora
ton, as a mulch is maintained. A
large number OF weeds will also be
killed at this time. Care should be
take1l, however, to not get on the land
until it is dry enough SO the soil will
not lie puddled by the horses feet
Does it require more feed for COW
we'll long in Iactation?
Ans. prof. G. l.. MARTINI: Yes AS
the tine from calving increases the
returns in butter fat from the same
amount of feed decreases. 1t is not
so much the case with pronounced
dairy type of COW as with those In
clined to be beefy However, it Is es-
timated that during the last stages OF
lactation the COW returns only about
three-tourths as much fat as shortly
after calvng.
What is ring-bore Is there any
cure for 1t?
Ans. (Dr l.. Van Esq: Ringbone is
a chronic infammatOry condition as
ISOLATED with the anterior and lateral
aspects OF the pastern. AS such it
cannot be cured. but the lameness
may be overcome by severe counter
irritation, followed by prolonged rest.
What is the best willow tor
hedge?
Ans prof. C. B. Waldron): We do
not recommend any of the willows for
ordinary hedge purposes. the reason
being that they require too much care
and In few years time die out in
the center, necessitating the cutting
off to the ground and the renewing OF
the hedge. The Golden Russian viii.
low makes an excellent hedge or
shelter belt. 1t is rather better for
this purpose than is the white willow,
because of its more dense and bushy
habit OF growth
Can Grapes be grown in North Da.
kota? If so, what varieties?
Ans. prof. c. B. Waldron) Yes.
Beta
Would it pay to build machine
sheds?
Ans. Prof. R. M. Dolve): Emphati-
cally yes. A shed need not be expen-
sive and yet be convenient and fur
nish adequate shelter for all ma
chinery. The life of some machines
may be doubled by shedding when
not in use.
