SkYSCRAPER BUILT
BY ELECTRICITY

Next to the Eiffel Tower, the new
Woolworth building in New York is
the tAllest structure ever reared to
the skies by the hand of man. This
skyscraper viii be fifty-fve stories
high, totaling $50 feet, and will be
head and shoulders above the Singer
and Metropolitan towers.
To erect this wonderful building
powerful electric motors must raise
than 1870, 900 tons of steel, brick,
stone, etc.. some OF it to the roof.
Without electricity it would be diff
cult. if not impossible, to build and
maintain such a mighty building.
When completed it will be a small
city within itself, fully connected with
local and express electric elevators,
telephones, electric lights and a doz-
en- other things, from huge ventilating
fans to push buttons, operated by
electricity.
Electricity. the master mechanic, is
practically building this enormous
structure. TO hoist the steel and set
it in place are six derricks driven by
eighty horse power motors. Four of
these followed the course Of construc-
ton to the twenty-sixth floor, the linn
it of the building proper, after which
two proceed with the tower work as
far as the fortieth floor, from which

Slope BOOSTERS

Wilton News: j. b. Slosson of Mott,
secretary Of the Missouri Slope De.
velopment League, accompanied by
C. B. Winter, Of the Bismarck Tribune
were in Wilton a few hours Saturday
enroute to McClusky where Mr.. Slos.
son organized the Sheridan county
development league.
Mr.. Slosson has been directing his
efforts during the past winter in or.
ganizing leagues in each Of the six.
teen counties Of the fertile Missouri
slope counties.
One of the principal features of
the work of the league at present is
the circulating of petitions asking
county commissioners OF each county
to levy the quarter mill tax provided
by law for the purpose of assisting
immigration. District vice presidents
in each county have had charge Of
this work and great Roadway has been
made.
AS the prime object Of the develop
ment league is to bring more settlers
into this section of North Dakota,
lulS levy Will uC vi ul0tCiAd CllCh
in accomplishing this purpose.
The county commissioners Of
Adams and Stark counties have al
ready accepted the petitions and or
dered the levy. Hettinger county
commissioners received the petitions
on July 10. In Bowman, Burleigh,
Billings, Oliver, Dunn, Mercer, Nc
Lean, Morton, Logan and Sheridan
counties petitions are reported ready
for presentation. In Emmons, Nc
Intosh and Kidder counties petitions
are being hustled and all expect that
the levy will be made within a very
few days.
c. B. Winter, who accompanied
Secretary Slosson, has been most en-
ergetic in advertising the work Of
the league, and 1t Is chiefly through
his efforts that the public has learned
Of the advantages which are being
derived from this booster organiza'
ton. h

GRAND FORKS
PIONEER DEAD
Hugh Ryan Prominent in
Eastern Part Of State Yields
To Lingering Illness

GRAND FORKS, July 12.-Hugh p.
Ryan, aged 81 years, president of the
Grand Forks city council, and n OF
the pioneer residents OF Grand Forks
county, died last evening at the
Mounds Park Sanitarium. st. Paul, at
$3.50 o'clock. Death came following
an illness extending over the last two
months, a breakdown of the nervous
and physical system being the immed-
late cause of death. Mr.. Ryan was
removed to the sanatorium some
weeks ago, and since that time his
condition has been critical.
His sister, Kate, and brother, Thos.
Ryan of Crystal, the two surviving
members of the family, left Grand
Forks yesterday on the moo Northern
Pacific train, but arrived in st. Paul
too late to see their brother alive.
The body will reach Grand Forks
this evening and it is expected that
the funeral services will take place
on Saturday.
Prominent in Civic affairs and
known to many by reaso of his long
residence here, Mr.. Ryan's death will
come as a distinct blow to the COM
munity. During his long residence the
deceased took an active interest In
the u%pbuilding of Grand Forks, and
was thes owner Of considerable real
estate in this city and East Grand
Forks, as we'll as farming property
to the south of the city.
Here Since 1879,
1t was in the year 1879 that Hugh
Ryan, then but little more than a
boy, reached Grand Forks. His broth
er, James Ryan, preceded him a year.
and the other members of the family
soon followed. The first year he was
in Grand Forks county, Mr.. Ryan
worked on the Prouty farm. The
next year he entered into partnership
with his brother-in-law, Cornelius
Crowley, and built what is now known
as the Ryan hotel. In the early days
it was known as the Commercial no.
tel and afterward as the Fremont.
During his residence here, Mr.. Ryan
served the city and state in various
official capacities. He was chief OF
police under Mayor Anderson and az
terward under Mayor Dipnie for two
terms, resigning when he was elected
state senator from the Sixth legisla-
tive district. At the time of his death
he wal president of the city council,
and was serving his second term In
the council.
The deceased leaves two members
Of the family to mourn his loss, Miss
Kate Ryan Of this city and a brother,
Thomas Ryan, Of Crystal. His father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Ryan, two sisters, Mrs. Crowley, Miss
Maggie Ryan and his brothers, I'd
ward and James Ryan, all died in this
city. John Ryan, another brother,
was killed last fall when struck by q
train in Chicago, and William Ryan,
the sixth brother, who was employed
as engineer on the Michigan Central
railroad, died some years ago.
Funeral Plans.
Although no funeral arrangements
have been made, 1t 10 expected that
the services will take place on Satur-
day, with requiem high mass In st.
Michael's church. The deceased was
q member Of the old st. Nichael's
benevolent society, as we'll as q mem-
Der Of the Knights Of Columbus and
the Catholic order Of Foresters and
the Elks. It IL expected that these
lodges will take part In the funeral

5. B. Despres, q banker at Elma.

his way home from a trip to New
Salem, and out from there through
northern Morton and Oliver counties.
In conversation with a representative
Of ire Tribune he expresses himself
as follows:

the country, in not seeing more hogs.
l should imagine with the skim milk
and buttermilk, they might be raised

To me a silo looks good, and they
certainly are putting in quite a few
of them around New Salem.
The advancement made around
New Salem was a very great surprise
to me, the homes. and the country
and the cattle in the fields and on
the hills surely donated prosperity.
and it occurred to me that it ought
to be a very good country for a young
man to 60 to.

warm-100 to ITO degrees F. The dip
is applied most effectively by means
of dipping vat
Dipping watts are made of wood, gal
vanized iron, or cement. They are
set in the ground at convenient
place SO that there is good surface
drainage away from the vat A good
size for vat is 10 fet long on top,
feet long on bottom, foot wide on
bototom, and feet wide on top The
end where the hogs enter should be
perpendicular and the other end in,
clined, with cleats, so that the hogs
can emerge after swimming through.
The entrance should be by a slide.
Such tank is very useful wherever
hogs are kept in numbers, as fire.
.quent dipping tends to keep the hogs
healthy and free from parasites.

placed in a hover in the broodef
house The hover had been warmed
to a temperature of so degrees The
poults appeared well and bright. All
were placed in one hover, which
proved to be a mistake, for the follow
ing morning there were several dead
ones, caused by the young things de-
sorting the hover and piling up. many
of the underneath ones being smoth-
cred. About 80 were thus lost in a
few hours
When reared In the natural way
and seeking to be lowered, the poults
instinctively duck their heads and
creep under the mother hen, while
she assumes settling position. The
poults having thus assembled they be-
come distributed among the feathers
and under the wings of the hen. The
warmth from the hens body satisfies
them. They become quiet. Deprived
of the mother hen they bunch when,
In their search for warmth, a scram-
BILE ensues, each poult making a des-
perate effort to get under the bunch.
In the struggle they become surpris
ingly entangled, causing a condition
from smothering.
In order to save the remaining
poults, they were divided among three
hovers, which ended the losses. These
hovers were at first kept at about 80
degrees temperature for about a week,
WI in,
ture about 10 degrees weekly, until
down to 20 degrees, which tempera-
ture was maintained until the poults
were about six weeks of age, after
| which time they do not require arti-
| fetal heat They were permitted to
occupy the hovers for couple of
weeks longer, when the hovers were
| taken in keeping the hovers scrupu-
lousy clean by removing the dirt and
| supplying clean chaff. After removing
the hovers, the poults were confined to

feet, with an outside runway 4 by 20

Unlike chickens, the young poults
appeared not to know where to find
their food. Teaching them to eat
promised to become quite problem.
Failing to attract them to their feed

were placed in the nursery with each
flock Of poults. 1t was surprising how

from the chicks. Within one hour the
problem was solved and all were

trouble. The first feed was stale

About two days before we wished to

the pit to within two inches of the

should also be mixed with the manure,
If none is already in it. Where the
manure is too dry, it should be slight
ly dampened to induce heat. The ma
nure also was packed down well.
We inclosed the bed with six

board on the north and banked up all
around. Over the bed of manure we
then placed a four-inch layer of good,

REARING OF TURKEYS
Producers Have Not Been Able
to Satisfy Demand.
Result of Experiments Obtained at
Washington Station by Artificial
Methods of Value to Those
Interested.

withstanding the popularity of
the turkey for human consumption
and its consequent high price, tie
turkey producers have not been able
to supply the demands of the market,
due to the fact that turkeys are more
subject to diseases than chickens and
because the care of the young poults
requires much patience on the part of
the poultryman. Nevertheless, turkey
raising returns a good profit to the
producer when properly handled In
Farmers Bulletin 200 the problems
connected with raising turkeys have
been outlined and treated more or less
in detail
The results obtained in the follow
ing experiment, conducted by the
Washington station, on Matching and
rearing turkeys by artificial methods,
should prove of value to those who
desire information on the care of
young poults.
About the LIST of June we secured
102 turkey eggs of the Mammoth
Bronze variety, which nicely filled the

oNE-TALENT PEOPLE.

Lincoln said The Lord must have
loved the one-talent people, for he
made SO many of them"
We are too prone to look at talents
as accomplishments. like painting,
singing or being a good musician. for
getting that there are talents of far
more lasting quality which are hardly
recognized as such
A dear little Quaker woman once
made the remark that she would rath
err have merited this epitaph on her
tomb stone than any she ever knew:
"She was easy to live with" Being
easy to live with is a talent worth cul-
tivating and one which is all too
rare.
If our children today might be
taught that to be agreeable and COM
panionable, unselfish and thoughtful
of others are qualities far more valu-
able in life than being able to speak
seven languages.
We need to teach our daughters
that the humble, though exalted, pro
fession of home-making Is more de-
SlrdDlo ludn the SUPERFICIAL dCCOLl-
plishments which take their time,
strength and interest
The object of the profession of
home-making is comprehensive one,
to raise the ideals of home making is
one, to make housekeeping an inspir-
ing profession instead of deadening
drudgery. to make the daily task in
the home entertaining as bridge whist.
To make the housekeeper's allow
ance go as far as possible that the
best things of life may not be left
out.
To promote the household welfare
and insure domestic tranquility.
To develop in each child all the per-
lection of which he is susceptible,
mentally, morally and physically.
The profession of homemaking is
becoming more and more difficult
each year. and the young women who
expect to enter the profession un-
trained will be the ones who in the
future will figure in the divorce
courts.
