Poultry Fattenine Method.


are common in this country - pei
fattening, crate fattening and ma
chine craming The first two ar,
probably the most common, but
the third is gaining rapidly in pop
ularity. Pen fattening is practiceC
by great many people who do no
have time and inclination to ust
other methods. The essentials OF
pen fattening are quiet. darkness
except at feeding time and plenty
of soft food given at intervals, U.s.
ually three times a day Birds
may be kept in focks of fifteen OF
twenty, but the sexes should be
separated.
In crate fattening, few fowls
are confined in crates and fed from
trough. A crate six feet long,
eighteen inches high and eighteen
or twenty inches long is suitable
and is large enough for dozen
birds Sometimes such a crate is
divided into two or three compart-
ments, four to six birds being plac-
ed in each compartment But lit
tie room for the bird to move about
is desirable, for the less exercise
a bird obtained the more rapidly
does 1t tatten. The top, back and
ends of the crate should be solid if
they are to be placed outdoors, but
if they are to be in building they
may be built of lath or Stats. These
Stats should be two inches apart in
front, so as to permit the birds to
eat from the troughs, which are
hung just outside the coop. The
Stats of the bottom of the coop
should be about one inch apart to
permit the droppings to fall through
In indoor feeding the crates should
be placed in a dark room; just be-
fore feeding, enough light should be
admitted to allow the birds to see
to eat. They are usually fed three
times a day, and are permitted to
eat for half an hour at time, when
the room is again darkened and the
food removed.
In machine fattening it is neces-
Sary to have a machine construct

ed by the foot, which is placed in a
tripod. A tube is fixed to one end
Of the pump, through which the
feed passes when the lever rod is
lowered. The tube is of rubber or
metal. If rubber, it may have a
metal point. Metal tubes are more
easily kept clean. The feed is plac-
ed in the reservoir and is made in
to the consistency of thick cream.
There are several ways of holding
the bird, but the following will be
found simple and effective: Fold
the wings and grip the bird firmly
between the right elbow and the
left side of the body, or between
the left elbow and the body, which
ever is grasped in the left hand, and
first finger placed in the mouth to
keep it open. The tube is placed in
the mouth and the bird is gently
drawn on until the end of the tube
reaches the crop, the neck being
elongated as much as possible. The
lever bar is gently lowered by the
foot and the food forced into the
crop. One hand is kept on the crop
and as soon as it is sufficiently full
the foot is removed from the lever
and the bird is gently removed.

STAND PIPE SINKS
AT SHELDON WELL
Flowing Gcyser Threatens to Flood
Vicinity

Sheldon, April 29-The activities
of Sheldon's artesian geyser which
were thought to have been curbed
last week, broke forth anew and have
since reached an even more alarm
ing proportion. Wednesday evening
the artesian stand pipe began to
sink and by Thursday morning only
the top of it could be seen above the
ground In twelve hours it went
down about five feet. 1t has been
anchored with strong chains in an
attempt to keep it from sinking al
together into the ground. The con-
crete floor of the we'll house is also
caving in and large hole in which
the bottom cannot be fathomed ex-
tends two feet in every direction from
the outer casing. The situation is
most serious.
A three inch reducer was obtained
from the vel: con,nany and this was
atta ched so as to convey tn, main
fow. Sevcra; loEaths of plp' were
coupled up with the reducer and the
water carried a few feet down the
ditch from the we'll. At first the
flow was clear, but later it devel-
oped that the mud flow was even
worse than before, and the water SO
thick that it ran from the pipe with
difficulty.
The flow from outside the main
casing is of a more serious nature
and the water fairly boils from under
the cement curbing. A huge hole,
while not large in circumference but
it's depth a matter of conjecture, has
been worn around the outside casing
by the water.
1t is evident that several pipes in
side the twelve inch casing nave
broken as they can be plainly heard
pounding back and forth.
Street Commissioner McCully has
force of men employed throwing
up embankments to keep the water
in it's course, but with these the wat
er is within few inches of running
over the grade north Of town. The
water has already filled the pockets
in the Lillicrap pasture and unless
the wells activities are soon checked
several acres of growing grain Will
be ruined.
The handling of the situation Is a
perplexing one to the village fathers
and they have as yet conceived no
idea. The we'll company is not over
" anxious to be retained on the Job
as they are as much at loss how to
cope with the situation as is the VII
lage.
A sentiment has been put forth
this week that the digging of ne"
we'll near by might relieve the pres
sure so the flow might be checked.
It is hardly probable that the board
will take this step, as the handling OF
one obstreperous geyser is plenty tt
have on hand at time.

NOTED SCIENTISTS TO
VISIT STATE
American Geographical Society will
Study N. DIS Topography.

University, N. D.,April 30.-North
Dakota will be host to party of dis
tinguished guests next fall, when the
transcontinental excursion planned
by the American Geographical society
passes through the state. The per.
sonnel of this party will include
about forty of the most noted teach
ers of geography and writer's on this
subject from Europe, and a large
number Of geographers, scientific
men and journalists from this coun-
try. The tour which will cover
period of six weeks from August Is,
will begin at New York, and the par
ty will travel by special train, max
ing side excursions to points of spec
ial interest enroute. The trip as
will take them up the Hudson river,
across New York, through Chicago
and St. Paul, and from there to the
Pacific coast over the Northern Pa
cific. One stop will be made in the
Bad Lands region of North Dakota
and possibly another somewhere in
the Red River valley, for the purpose
of studying the formations left by
the old glacial Lake Aggasiz. The
return from the ssbast will be made
by one of the SsGthern routes.
University Man Guide.
The arrangements for the trip are
In the hands of Professor w. M. Da-
viz Of Harvard University ,and in each
section of the country where the par
ty will visit he is securing as guides
local men that will be Of greatest In
terest to these expert geographers. The
special sponsor for the party in
North Dakota will be Prot. Howard
Simpson of the university, who will
join the party when they enter the
state and stay with them until they
have left its boundaries.
Prof. Simpson has already sue
ceeded in convincing the manage
ment that a stop In the Bad Lands
will be abundantly worth while, and
hopes to get similar concession re-

made to arrange an automobile trip
for the party to several points of in
terest in the valley.
A Distinguished Party.
The European members of the ex-
cursion represent Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, France, Germany, Great
Britain, Portugal, Russia, Spain,
Sweden, and Switzerland. Together
with the American members they are
the leaders of the worlds thought
along this particular line. The OPP
portunity for North Dakota to Sc
cure some very valuable advertising
is certainly good one. In discuss
ing the trip, recent bulletin of the
American Geographical society says:
MANY distinguished geographers
of Europe, delegated by European
geographical societies, will take part
in the excursion, and the occasion
will afford them abundant opportun-
ity to observe interesting phases of
the geoghaphy Of our country. The
route has been planned to bring into
view many aspects Of the land from
the standpoints, both of physiography
and of economic geography. Vari-
GUS phases of geographical sci
ence will be represented by Ameri-
can members of the excursion, who
will, so far as possible, act as guides
for the European visitors"

sPERRY OUT on PAROLE
Youth Convicted of Murder of Ken.
meth Mckenzie Escapes the
Pen

Fargo, Apri' 30-Although SEN
fenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary at Bismarck, Clyde Spery, con-
victed in Cass county of manslaugh-
ter in the first degree in connection
with the burning of Kenneth McKen-
zie at Aneta, N, D., on the night of
Oct. 16, 1909, will not have to serve
the sentence having been placed on
parole by Judge Pollock yesterday
after passing senttece.
Judge Pollock's Order
Citing chapter 174, pages 255, 256,
257 of the session laws of North Da-
kota, 1909, Judge Pollock said: II
do now in the furtherance of justice
suspend the execution of sentence
this day imposed on said defendant
and place him on probation to be un-
der the control of the management
OF the board of trustees of the state
penitentiary and he shall be subject
to the same rules and regulations as
apply to persons paroled from the
penitentiary after a period of i'm
prisonment therein"
Circumstances of Case
Further in the order of sentence
Judge Pollock cites that he has TAX
en- into consideration the character
of the defendant and circumstances
of the case, that Sperry is not like
ly to engage in an offensive course of
conduct and that the public good
does not command or require that
the defendant shall suffer the pen
atty imposed by law.
Reason for Parole
"It appearing that the defendant
was tried and convicted of the crime
of manslaughter, in that he did, with
out any intent to commit murder but
while engaged in an unlawful as.
sault upon Kenneth Mckenzie, cause
his death, and that defendant has
never been imprisoned for crime
either in this state, Or elsewhere
the opinion cites as reason for pa
role.
