| ton to plan to either keep one breet
of cattle at an of the institutions, Of
divide them up into divisions an(
maintain different breeds at the in
situations of the different divisions.
! My idea would be to procure, If you
have not now, well-bred sires with
good performance records on the
parts of the dams and sires, and place
one at the head of each institution
herd. A bull could be kept for two
years at a place and then transferred
to another. In this way saving In
expense might be made; besides, II
an unusually good sire were secured,
his merits might be known and be
preserved for his fullest possible ser.
vice. BY introducing a few pure
bred cows, a pure bred herd could, in
a few years, be obtained at each of
these institutions.
In connection with this develop.
ment believe it would be profitable
for the state dairy department to CO.
operate. with you in securing records
of the individual COWS in the herds.
such as the amount OF milk produced,
It's butterfat content, and the cost Of
the production in feed. as we'll as q
record of the concentrates and rough
age fed. With records Of dam, a
we'll formed individual and a pedigree
to back him, young bulls ought to
meet with favor among our farmers
and bring to the state profitable, d.
rect returns, to say nothing Of indf-
rect ones. Later on when herds were
sufficiently large, females might be
sold.
With some such arrangement of
herd records, kept and given publicity.
a healthy rivalry might exist between
different institutions to see which
might claim the best herd, or the
highest producing COW, or the most
economical producer. If one breed
was established at three institutions
and another breed at the other three,
a contest of breeds, as well as in
dividuals. would naturally follow. In
any event I believe that our state
should set good example in breeding
and feeding dairy cattle and the
sooner the better for all state in
terests.
I feel that you are in a position to
lead in this matter, and while l do
not know just how all of the institu-
tons are situated, do know that
some of them have made a beginning
along dairy stock lines.
I trust that you will consider, If
you have not already done so, this, or
an equally good plan, and remember
that if this department can be of any
service to you we will be pleased to
render it. In any event I should like
to have some expression of your
Ideas from you on the subject.
Yours truly.
R. F. FLINT,
Dairy Commissioner.

SPECIAL REVIVAL

MEETINGS At e. A.
Captain and Mrs. SHINES, the OFF,
GERS who are specializing here held
very successful open air meeting on
Thursday evening at the corner of
Main and Fourth streets. A very large
crowd gathered around to listen to the
attractive music rendered by the spec
ials and also to the very interesting
talk which Capt. MINES gave.
The people responded literally to
an appeal made for an offering which
was made to help carry on our work
here in Bismarck.
Captain and Mrs. SHINES will be
here with us until Thursday next and
we are expecting very interesting
times and a hearty invitation to every
one to attend and enjoy the meetings
with us. As before said the Captain
and his wife are accomplished must
clans and will introduce music of an
Interesting character in every meeting
so come along yourself and bring your
friends.
Up to the present three souls have
professed conversion, so our work has
not been in vain. We believe in inter.
esting the people but all to one end
and that is the salvation of the soul.
The song From Jerusalem to Jeri-
cho' which was SO prodciently rend-
cred here on Thursday evening in the
open air and which has made a big
hit" all along the line was composed
by the captain himself, who is the
composer of number which are Just
as good and some will be sung, so If
you want to hear something new come
and hear the captain. Everybody
come to the Salvation Army at 112
Main street.

.LADD SEEKS opinion
OF ATTORNEY GENERAL

This is snuff day in North Dakota
and the time for sneezdfs to sit up
and take notice. It is also the season
, when the dealer in the pulverized to-
bacco stump will want to know just
! where he stands.
Under the provisions of the new
snuff law which was passed at the re-
, cent session of the North Dakota leg
, lature, the sale of all SNUFF not made
from pure tobacco only was made pro-
hibitive on and after September 1.
Dealers having supply on hand at the
time of the passage of the bill were
permitted to dispose of that stock
until that date, after which they would
be liable and sell it on their own risk.
Pure Food Commissioner Ladd of
the state has issued one bulletin on
, the snuff question and he is about to
come out with second. But before
: acting he submitted the following
questions for the Interpretation Of At
torney General Miller>
"First-Can there be legally sold
after September 1 any product as snu1f
in which there is present any igredient
except pure tabacco?
"Second-Can there be sold after
September product, as snuff, made
from tobacco with the addition of
flavoring and seeming materials?
"Third-If snuff may contain flavor.
ing and seeming material after Sep
TENDER 1, then what shall determine
the kind and character of flavoring
and seeming materials which are to
be permitted in the manufacture of
snuff"
t To these questions Attorney Gen.
eral Miller made the following reply
which is his ruling on the subject:
AS view it, section 2 defines what
under the act shall be deemed pure
snuff. Under that section it appears
that pure tobacco, which has been
fermented, dried, and to some extent
pulverized for use as snuff, may be
variOusly scented, but in my judge.
ment the oderiferous and flavoring in
gradients used must be pure. And in
the light of section 3, which is intend
ed to aid the construction of the act,
all alkaloidal and narcotic CONSTITUTE
ents which are foreign to tobacco must
be excluded from such ingredients.
"This I believe answers the three
questions submitted by you"
It Is not known just what effect this
will have on snuff sold by dealers and
analysis may be necessary to deter
mine the unlawful ingredients.
In an interview, Prof. Ladd describes
the steps taken to enforce the law and
limits at organized opposition.
The fight Is expected on Copen-
hagen snuff, which is reported product
of the American Tobacco Co. Under
the law which went into effect March !
6, nothing can be sold in North Da-
kota as snuff except pure tobacco. In
his bulletin, Commissioner Ladd
makes comparison of the analysis of
Copenhagen snuff as given in snuff |
advertisements in certain state news
papers, with the literal Interpretation
of the new snuff law, and asks II Co. |
penhagen snuff can be sold in this !

And Micky O'Connor showed the
pent up indignation Of many years.

declared the narrator. Il am not sure
of just what did or did not tell him.
He could not make me out of course,
for I was only q little boy when he

ally in Sturgis, S. D., and he is said
to have drifted from place to place

is what intensifies the contempt
Micky O'Connor feels for Joseph Nc

PROPER RATION
FOR A DAIRY COW.
Best Rule Is What the Animal
Can PrOfitabIy Consume.

The real measure of ration for a
dairy COW is her own appetite and the
quantity of feed she can consume and
make profitable returns for. To apply
this rule It is of course necessary to
know what each COW In the herd is
doing and to make her feeding an in
dividual question. A good many rules
have been proposed to dairymen as to
the quantity Of feed a COW should
receive. Some believe that she should
have pound of grain for each 100
pounds of live weight. with coarse
forage at will, and yet a good deal de-
pends upon the kind of grain, as well
as the kind of coarse forage.
Another rule that has a great many
advocates is to make the cows ration
one-third grain and two-thirds forage
and OF this give her all that she will
eat up clean. While rules OF this kind
have a certain value as an approxima-
tion and a starting point, they are all
subject to modification In Difference to
individuality. Some cows can profit
ably consume more than a pound of
grain to 100 pounds of live weight, and
when they can they ought to have IL,
because 1t Is to the interest of the dai-
ryman to give his cows all that they
can eat and make returns for. Some
cows will consume more OF ration
composed of one-third grain and two
thirds forage than they can pay for In
production. AS a rule, we believe that
dairy cows, except those in the hands
of well Informed dairymen. are under
fed rather than overfed.
Food makes milk. certain amount
of food is required to sustain the body
and its functions. The remainder will
go into increasing the product. Stint
the COW with food and she will stint
the owner with milk.
There are IA great many cows that
could do much better than they dc
II they had more to eat. 1t should be
the business OF the dairy feeder tC
find out what the limit of profitable
consumption is in the case of each COW
In the herd. The rules given furnish q
basis to begin with. but the dairymar
should modify them as to quantity jus
rs upon careful observation he seei
the necessity for modification.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Good Treatment For the Sow.

Give the SOW good treatment after
she has sucked the litter and they are
weaned. she is worthy of it. She has
done the best she could and will try
II again next fall If you breed her. Do
not think that a sow that is thin
should have a bushe of corn thrown
to her every day and that this will
bring her up from run down shape
Slop her generously and give her pas
t,lrage that she likes, a clean bed at
night. some grain twice day. and
keep her away from the tormenting
pigs that will worry her life to a
thread.
1t you want good fall litter and
want early ones give her attention.
and she will soon be In shape to breed
If she has to run the gamut of sum
mer lice and filth. dirty troughs and
scant feed or feed Of one kind she
will not come ready for breeding as
soon as II she had care. Remember
this.
