REMEMBER THE HORSE.

The Humane society is giving espeei-
al attention during this cold snap to an
educational campaign as to the much
abused hack horse. Those using hacks
are urged not to call them for an hour
that is earlier than they may be need
ed, SO that the horses will not have
to stand on the waiting list.
It is the habit of thoughtless to or.
der conveyance without any especial
regard to the exact time it will be
needed. As result the animals, which
are unable to express their opinion of
such conduct, have to wait from half
an hour to frequently over an hour,
when they might as well have been in
their stalls.
Unfortunately, the horses cannot be
invited to come in and get warm at the
radiator while milady attends to those
last little details of her toilet, or my
; lord finishes his cigar, nor while both
have another dance; they must stand
outside. Nor in these days Of tele.
phones is this waiting at all necessary
| If arrangements are made in advance
| the liveryman will have the hack at
the door at exactly the time it is
wanted; they are cooperating with
the Humane society in this work, and
they have the personal interest of pro.
tecting their own property.
Indeed, in this severe weather IN.
usual care, should be taken of all do.
mstic animals. A little thoughtful-
ness, little care, will save a great
deal Of needless suffering.

PFTTER FARMING.

Better farming is the main topic new,
and especially since the start,fof the
mid-winter fair and the farmers cor
vention. 1t is the all important subject
and not only with North Dakota but
with every other cline. 70 get the
most out of the land is the subject
which is most discussed. Agriculturists
who have made a study of it are doing
everything in their power to make bet
ter farmers and if the farmer will but
head the :sAmonition, even part Of it.
the better farming idea will become so
universal in North Dakota that there
will not be any question about the
500 an acre idea which is being ad-
vanccd. If the farmer does not like
the way the work is being carried on
for better farming, that is just what
the advancers are always anxious to
know. Every farmer has his ideas
which may help in the cause, if he will
only speak ur and offer suggestions.
The Atlanta Georgian has the fol-
lowing editorial on the work of the Ma
tional Soil Fertility league, which is
worthy of careful persual:
A farm demonstration in every ag-
ricultural county in tn. United States
is the slogan of the Nationa.. Fertility
league, an organization of prominent
Americans, whose purpose is to induce
the federal government and the states
to appropriate jointly enough money to
translate the slogan into reality.
Is the undertaking worthy one and
wsuld Its accomplishment justify the

When cold weather will not hold

When cold weather will not hold the
farmers back, and they are here in
large numbers to learn something abont
their favorite pastime, it is an assured
fact that Better Farming is not far dis,
tant, for any man who will brave the
wintry winds and drive twenty-five
miles to attend the farmers conven
tion, surely must be anxious to see and
hear more. The farmers of the Lake
Region are sturdy lot, and with exist

The merchants of Devils Lake are to
be complimented, not one of them, but
all who have had foresight to exhibit
their wares at the mid-winter fair.

many interested, and the World be-
lieves it voices the sentiment of Chair

when it expresses appreciation to the
merchants.
