April IL, 1912.
Mr. r. F. Flint, Dairy Commission
er, Bismarck, N. D.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 18th
instant received, and in reply will
say that with pleasure | will give ven
my views of the feed question eor the
western part Of our state.
We had used sto in Minnesota
four years before we came to North
Dakota, so We decided chat we would
have silo here as soon as we we're
able TO build one. Two years age W,
built barn and we decided we ought
to build the stlc at the same time.
Our silo is built of brick, ten inch wall
with two inch air space and rein
forced with iron rods every eighteen
inches and cemented inside. It's dia.
meter is fourteen feet by forty feet
high. 1t has given good satisfaction.
We are feeding about fifty head of
cattle. We did not get our sio quite
full last fall because we broke our
feed cutter, but we still have enough
to carry us through.
/ frmy believe that if man want
to raise stock in western North Da-
kota. he should have a silo. Tho
reason for this is, you get more teco
per acre from corn than anything
else you can plant. The cheapest
way to care for corn crop is to put
it in silo. One year ago we die
not turn our COWS out on pasture I'LL
til the Goth Of June as we had plen-
ty of ensilage. When they were turn
ed In the pasture the feed was good
but the milk flow was not increase
the least, so It proves that ensslage
is just as good in summer as in the
winter. We plan to build another
silo for summer feed as soon as "
can afford It.
We plant our corn in drill rows
as you can raise considerable more
fodder that way. We raise not less
than four tons of silage per acre and
in a good year considerable more.
The conclusion we have come to IS
this, with the price OF land at 5000
an acre we would not attempt to keep
more than a couple of COWS without
a silo.
We believe that the sooner the far
mers Of the western part OF this state
realize that they should keep stock
in order to keep up The fertility OF the
soil. the better they will be on.
Yours truly,
o. M. OLSON. Beach, N. D.

An Intelligent Dog.

How really remarkably intelligent
and courageous is the average farm
dog was demonstrated the other day
near FIT. Madison, la. Here is what
the Fort Madison Democrat has to
say about it.
Friday afternoon Mr.. Hughes
was out in the field blowing. Taken
from his work on some little errand,
he left his little son to watch the
horses and he started across the
field. He had not gone far when the
team became frightened and started
across the field at a lively pace. The
little boy saw he was not able to cope
with their fright and he let go of the
reins. Then the team went tearing
across the field. headed toward a
barbwire fence and serious injury.
1T was then the dog came into
the scene. He is just big farm
dog, part shepherd, and was never
credited with any unusual amount
Of intelligence until then. AS it was
he made leap after the runaways,
snatched In his teeth the lines which
were dragging along behind, and
planting his feet, held back with all
the strength of his body. Mr. Hughes
stated that the feet of his dragged
dog plowed a furrow across the field
but he succeeded in bringing the
team to standstill before the fence
was reached"

Kelsoe heard words in the room soon
after Sparker entered there and he

1t is related that as soon as Spar

kelsoe reentered the room in time
to mix in it. A rough and tumble
fight ensued and while Kelsoe had
Sparker on the floor Sparker drew
his gun and placing the muzzle at
Kelsoe's head, fired. The bullet en-

he fired. Sparker will face a charge

BABY BROWNS IN JAR.
Grumpy Center Infant is Found Dead

Grundy Center, Iowa, June 25.-
Friday night at the home of his par
ents, near Fern, occurred the drown
ing of Edwin Kessler, the years
and four months old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Kessler, who formerly liv-
ed in Gruldy Center.
Mrs. Kessler, who was Miss Lena
Poppen, before her marriage, had
gone into the garden, telling the
children to come with her. Short
ly after she reached the garden the
baby was missed and the little girl
was sent back to get him. She found
him head first in ten-gallon jar
standing beside the house. Pulling
him out at once, she called to her
mother, who came running, but too
late to bring back the tiny spark of
life that had flown in the few mo-
ments that the child had delayed.

Some AIIamakee Notables.

Hon. Frank NJ. Byrne of South Da-
kota, TO whom we referred a week
ago as having been born near Vol
ney in this county, is the Republican
candidate for governor of his state.
He is an own cousin of w. 5. and
M. j. Hart, their father and Mr..
Byrne's mother having been brother
and sister. The Mrs. Patrick Byrle
family of Waukon, are also related
to him on his fathers side. There
is rather an odd coincidence in the
fact that one of South Dakota's U.
S. senators, Hon. Coe |. Crawford
the future governor, Hon. Frank
Byrne, and the chief justice of the
supreme court of that state, Judge
Dick Haney, are all former ALBANIA
kee youths.--Waukon Democrat.

BUT $500 REWARD.
That Amount is All State can Sub
scribe for Prosecution of MUIR
derer of Eight.

The fact that only a $500 reward
can be offered by the state for the
apprehension of the person guilty of
the Villisca crime, has caused some
surprise; but the matter has been
thrashed over many times in the leg
islature and the view has prevailed
that excessive rewards are not prop
er. The theory is that where very
large rewards are offered for convic-
ton the temptation to convict some
one on evidence not entirely trust
worthy becomes too great. The linn
it is $500 for a major crime and
$500 for lesser offenses.
