Greatest Crop In
History of State

Grand Forks, Sept. 27.-In view of
the interest that is being taken in
the probable yield of North Dakota's
big crop this years statistics COM
piled by the development bureau at
Grand Forks are of special interest.
The greatest wheat crop in North
Dakota-prior to this year-was 97,-
100000 bushels. This year the low
est estimate of authorities is 10000
900 bushels and the highest 10000
900. The latter figure is believed to
be rather large and it is probable that
125,000,000 bushels will be nearer the
correct figures. Last year the gov
eminent reported that North Dakota
had 9, Isl, 900 acres of wheat. Regard
ing the acreage of this year there is
quite difference of opinion. Conserva-
lively estimated however, it is believed
that the gvernment report will show
a wheat acreage of close to 100000
acres. The estimate of 125, 100000
'bushel yield is based on an average
of Thirteen bushels which is conser-
vative. In any event North Dakota
has raised 25,O00,00O and over more
than any year in the history of the
state

Builders of Barnes
County" Out Soon
TORY OF COUNTY AND MEN
WHO HELPED MAKE IT.

1. J. Moe, in conjunction with L. P.
Hyde have begun work on what will
be the most pretentious history of
Barnes county ever written, and prob
ably the most complete history of any
county in the state.
The work will be entitled Builders
of Barnes County, and will give a
complete history of the pioneer days
of this section of the state, and the
men who aided in it's building. A full
page, will be given to the biography
of each of. the old residents Of the
county, from the time of his birth
down to the year 1912, making it a
souvenir which will be treasured by
hundreds of the families of the county.
Profusely illustrated, the book will
be a work of art in every way. A
heavy high grade book paper has
been selected for 1t, the color India
tint, while the binding will be in
morocco leather. .... = +
Mr.. Moe, who has charge of compil-
ing the biographies, has already be-
gun work, and in the neighborhood of
100 biographies are now in his hands.
The editing of the work will take q
number Of weeks, and the press work
will also take from one to three
months. 1t is hoped to have the COM
pleted volumes from the press of the
Times Record about Feb. /.

TOMBSTONES FOR THOSE WHO

CREWS ARE OUT,

(From Mondays Daily
Load one of those tombstones,"
shouted Farmer J. w. Gray, as a
wagon load of threshermen passed
Dinnie Minogue's today. "You fellows
have had long rest and if any one
is not ready for good, hard work I
want tombstone handy"
This is the spirit of the farmers to-
day. Improve the shining moments
is the motto. Millions of bushels of
the golden yellow will be coined in
to money in North Dakota. Attracted
by the big wages, a better class Of
laborers will doubtless come from
Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the
work of threshing will proceed rapidly.
How to spend the money will soon
be the real problem of the farmers.

date. In all probability we could
have the foundation work completed
before freeze-up, or have the work
we'll along by that time, at any rate.
We would finish the work early in
the spring and by that time have
enough clay out and dried to start
manufacturing brick and tile just rs
soon as the plant is finished
Taking small briQuette made
from sample of clay obtained hero
last week, Mr.. Davidson explained the
fine texture of the material and its
possibilities of manufacture.
Brick Of All colors
"That brick has not even been
burned said he, land has not been
under pressure. simply patted it
out with my hands. 1t is SO hard that
it is almost susceptible to polish. It
is particularly adaptable for the man
ufacture Of pressed brick because of
its extremely light color. It can be
made into any color of brick desired"
Samples were sent to the Univer-
sity of Iowa to be burned and undergo
a physical test, but Mr.. Davidson q
sure the result will be as satisfactory
AZ the earlier experiment.

Shortage No Joke

(From Mondays Daily
THE shortage of fuel in the north
west this winter is no joke" said F.
E. Osborne of the Peoples Fuel COM
pany this morning, discussing the
prospects for securing hard coal in
the next few weeks.
THE public has had this coal
scare talked to them number of
times before when there was very
little behind it, but this time it is the
real thing. Dealers, almost without e1-
ception are refusing orders for ship
ment, even on future delivery orders.
and letters from them state that they
are already oversold on their con-
tracts
Mr.. Osborne received this morning
a letter from a large wholesale deal
er in Wisconsin, stating that the sales
men who had been making this terri
tory for the coal trade had been taken
off the road as they were selling more
coal than the companies could pos
sibly supply for the winter.
It is not probable that there will
be any very serious shortage of soft
coal.

Small Grains Good Substitute
For Corn for Finishing Hogs

The feeder should never neglect to
feed variety of feeds when it is pos
stble for him to do SO For instance, If
the feeder will feed mixture OF bar
ley (ground) 3 parts and shorts part
with ground alfalfa or clover / part he
can normally expect a greater gain on
he amount of feed consumed than if
he clover or alfalfa were neglected.
We find on our feeding trials with
pigs that we get better results feeding
a mixture of or feeds when mixed
in proportion to finish or fatten pigs
than We do feeding a mixture of two
or three feeds.
We feed, or try to feed, part of pro-

8 to 10 parts of carbohydrates or(fat
producing) feed during their fattening
or finishing period. .....E.a..
If the feeder has been careful in rails
ing his pigs and has provided he prop
er kinds of nutrients for their well be-
ing he will not have great trouble in
getting his hogs finished off into prime
pork. The small grains have always
been the mainstay in swine feeding in
the various parts of the world aid for
finishing hogs off into good porkers of
high quality carcass nothing can sur
pass the small grains when put into
the proper com limitations.
It is not always economical to feed
barley, oats, rye, wheat and other of
the small grains, but under some con-
ditions money can be made in their be-
ing made the principal part of the
feed for growing and finishing swine.

By e. ]. Thompson, assistant pro-
fessor of animal industry Of North
Dakota Agricultural College.
In the northern part of the: state,
in some localities, the enthusiastic
farmers and stocbmen tried this year
to increase the corn yield by plant
ing more than usual. But unfortunate
ly weather conditions may not permit
of its making good yield and some
few farmers will have to plan on
finishing their hogs without the use
OF corn.
= This of course is not new sys-
tenn of feeding swine. It has been
done for years. In North Dakota we
have many small grains that can be
used most successfully for feding
swine. D.
We have found at this station that
barley makes very high quality OF
pork as compared with pork made
from corn.
The small grains and especially the
barley has long been used for the
production of bacon and in some OF
the older countries across the ocean
they feed no corn and atil produce
some of the most palatable sides of
bacon and pork Imaginable.
In 1906 two lots were fed in compar-
ison, one was fed on barley and shorts.
the other on corn and shorts. The
mixture was fed in each case one part
of shorts to four parts of barley for
lot l, and part of shorts to parts of
corn in lot II.
The lots of pigs were practically 8
months of age when the experiment
was started and this was the finishing
or fattening period in the pigs life.
The results of this trial showed that
it took IS per cent more of the barley
feed than it did of the corn ration to
produce an equal amount Of gain on
the pigs. -, sss. .-s ..*.a
At some of the other stations tests
have been conducted which have
found barley almost equal to corn when
ground and fed in various proportions
to swine. 49, g 81
At the present price of barley and
the rainy days at barley cutting time
we are bound to have some barley
stained; SO that it will bring a low
price on the market, yet it can be fed to
very great advantage and made. into
the best kind of pork. The favorite
way Of feeding barley it seems at pres.
emit is to have it crushed or ground
and then mix just at feeding time with
shorts and made into thick slop.
Rye also does very well as grain
ration for pigs, but it is not SO good
a feed as barley. 1t is best to feed rye
ground in thick slop with shorts or
middlings.
Rejected wheat makes good feed
for swine when fed with shorts or mid
dlin4s. At the Station here we found
the gains made on pigs to be nearly
as Auch when the lot was fed q mix
ture OF shorts l part and rejected
wheat parts as that made by a SINH
lar lot of pigs when fed part Of shorts
to PARTS of corn. In each case the
feed was ground. The conclusion at
the end of the test was that it required
So Per cent more rejected wheat than
corr to produce an equal amount of
gain on the pigs.
A great many times the farmer can
feed some of the smaller grains In
conjunction with shorts or middlings
and some of the feeds rich in protein
material to very good advantage and
profit.
