The demonstration work was

Mr.. Cooper argues that while
there is difference between
corn, which is farmed inten-

North Dakota, yet there is
good reason for expecting
similar increases here.

HAIL DID DAMAGE IN
Storms Struck In Several Parts Of the
County During Past Week
SOME FIELDS SHOW HEAVY LOSS
Strip North Of carbury Was Hit
Hard; Some Damage Done
Near omemee

Hail storms covering small
strips of territory have hap
pened in several parts of the
county during the past week.
In some cases the loss was
partial but in at least one other
there were total losses.
On Thursday of last week a
storm struc southeast
of Gardena and south of One
NEE doing damage to about a
dozen farms of from 25 to 80
per cent. On the same day
some damage was done in the
neighborhood of Newburg and
the same storm worked further
havoc south of this couty in
the vicinity of Upham, Bantry
and Towner.
Two small storms passed
through the Turtle Mountains
south of Lake Metigoshe but
over most of the territory cover
ed did small damage. A few
tracts were hit hard.
Tuesday evening storm
crossed the boundary line north
west of Carbury and on five
or six farms pounded the crops
into the ground. It also caus-
ed heavy damage across the
boundary line. The Kornkven
brothers, Ole Myhr, Simeon
Berge and Claus Anderson
were among the heavy losers
on this side of the line. This
cloud passed over Bottineau
and cut loose again south of
Arneda and east of Omemee
but the damage was not quite
so heavy as. in the vicinity of
Carbury. Alvy Paup, w. d.
Nicholson, Arthur Milloy, Mrs.
Leckman, Hill Smith and An
gus Gillespie are among the
losers in the vicinity of One
NEE. Milloy and Nicholson
suffered nearly a total loss. In
other cases the damage is near
" fifty per cent.

FIGHT SMUT, SAVE GRAIN.
Millions of Dollars Loss Which Might
Be Prevented Easily.

Be Prevented Easily.
Smut is AN inSidiOuS enerny that
causes millions of dollars OF loss an
nually in our small grain crops. 1t is
possible for men to grow grain year
after year, realizing that there is
little smut present. yet utterly failing
to realize the percentage of loss that
it involves. Mt is one parasitic dis
ease for which there is a specific rem.
edy, one that may be applied at
very small outlay for chemicals and
involving comparatively little labor,
says a writer in the Iowa Homestead.
While there are several remedies,
we have always preferred formalin in
the proportion of one pound of this
chemical to forty gallons of water.
Tormalin, it may be said, is 40 per
cent solution of formaldehyde. Grain
to be treated should be spread out on
the barn floor and the mixture of wa.
ter and formalin added until the
whole mass becomes thoroughly Wet
Uniform wetting can only be accom-.
plished by freely shoveling the grain
over and over. When we first began
treating grain for smut we used
sprinlSling can, thinking in that way
! that we would do the work cautiously
and vet thoroughly. But we very soon
learned that where any considerable
amount of grain was to be treated a
sprinllling can was not necessary We
simply made trench through the cen
ter of the grain and began pouring on
our liquid with an ordinary pail
When the water started to seep from
the sides of the pile she shovels We're
! then started. We learned that
bushel of grain would take up about
one gallon Of water, so that forty
bushels would require only one pound
of formalin.
After the grain has been thoroughly
wet it should be shoveled into Il deep,
conical pile and covered With horse

good practice to always keep the calf
little hungry. 1t should take the last
milk from the pail with the same relish
as 1t took the first. 1t must be remeln-
bered that the calf has a small stom-
ach, and there is great danger of over
feeding 1t. The following method may
be used to determine the amount of
milk to feed
For the first hundred pounds live
weight feed ten pounds of milk per day
For the second hundred pounds add
five pounds Of milk per day.
For the third hundred pounds add
two and one-half pounds of milk per
day.
If the calf is strong and we'll devel-
oped it may be changed to skimmilk at
the end. of the second week. This
change should be made gradually by
substituting a small amount of skim
milk for a like amount of whole milk
in the daily ration. About week or ten
days should be taken for this change.
Care should always be taken to have
the milk warm and sweet. Especially
is this necessary when feeding the
young calf. AS the calf grows older it
will do just as we'll on cooler milk if it
is fed at the same temperature every
day. The right temperature for the
milk fed the young calf is blood heat
100 degrees +. The milk should be rs
nearly this temperature as 1t is possible
to get it.

high testing breeds is very. often too
rich in fat for the young calf and
should be diluted with skimmilk or
milk from some other COW should be
fed.
The amount of milk to feed the calf
at this time is very important. Under
natural conditions the calf gets it's
milk often and in small amounts. and
the more nearly we initiate nature the
greater success we will have. The calf
of average size should receive about
eight pounds of whole milk a day at
first Large calves should have more
than this amount. The milk may he
fed in two feeds, night and morning, or
better results may be obtained by feed
ing it three times day AS the calf
grows older the amount should begrad-
ually increased. The best guide as to
the amount which should be fed is the
ealf'S appetite. 1t should be fed sutfi-

weak at birth or If the cows udder is
inflamed or caked it probably is Il bet
ter practice to allow it to remain with
its mother for several days. In case
the calf is Immediately taken away
from its mother it should b. all means
receive the mothers first milk. The
milk at this time contains a high per
cent of protein and ash, which act
as a laxative and tonic and are very
effective in cleaning out the digestive
tract and stimulating the digestive or
cams. In some cases it is not safe to
feed the milk from cows to their calves
after the first few days.

In Matthew's report Of the Sermon
on the Mount the contrast is clearly
shown between the teaching of Jesus
and what was taught by the scribes
and Pharisees. They were, keen on
prohibitions and in setting limitations
to activity. Jesus was always positive
in tone. He insisted on the principle
of the thing, leaving his hearers tc

to circumstances. Love is
stronger than hatred; blessing is more
bountiful than cursing; prayer is more
powerful than insult. Nothing but the
grace of God can enable us to return
good for evil, but if it is done greater
results will be produced in the inter-
ests of justice and equity. ''Smiteth

MILLIONS THAT SMALL
MERCHANTS SHOULD GET.
City Tradesmen Made Wealthy by
the Money sent In by Country
Purchasers.

1t is a recognized fact that the retail
business of the country villages and
the large towns, for that matter, is in
serious danger. Year by year the once
prosperous merchants are being forced
to the wall-driven out by the mail or
der business And this is taking place
in face Of the fact that the population
and purchasing power Of the country
districts are ever on the increase.
What is the matter?
The mail order houses are drawing
channels to the cities.
The growth of this octopus has been
phenomenal. From jellylike idea
without form-an experiment fifteen
years ago, it has grown to proportions
that threaten the determination Of the
retail country merchant.
Thousands of people every week send
in their hard earned cash to some mail
order house in payment for goods that
could have been bought cheaper at
their home store.
Why do they do 1t? 1t is owing
partially to the desire of the average
person to be humbugged and partially
to the effect of persistent advertising.
The mail order house sends out it's at
tractive literature to every family in
the country. In this literature. COM
posed of we'll illustrated catalogues
and cheap magazines known as mail
order papers, the goods are set forth in
the most attractive manner. 1t is
tempting bait and the fish bite
All of these millions come out of the
legitimate trade of the country mer-
chant, the man who has invested his
capital, built himself a home and been
active i'll building up the town, with
the expectation that he would be al
lowed to do a legitimate business in Il
legitimate way He is entitled to the
trade of his town and the country
adjacent. He pays his taxes and con-
tributes to the support of the commu-
nifty. That community owes him re-
ciprocal duty-the duty to give him the
preference of trade, everything else be-
ing equal. This is the theory of all
organized civilized communities, begin
ming with the family and going on up
through every organization to that of
the state. Home protection from for.
eign robbers is the first duty of every
good citizen.
