Make Swine Pay Two Ways.

An important consideration that is
too often overlooked is the economical
utilization OF manure produced by
swine. Dry lot feeding in summer is
often associated with a heavy waste
of manure on account Of the large
part of the manure that is leached or
blown away when deposited in bare
lots. Feeding on pastures or in cul-
tivated fields will do much to Obviate
this loss. since large proportion Of
the droppings and urine will then be
deposited In the field where the fer.

The School Middle.

The predicaments into which our school
district was thrown by reason Of its be-
ing disorganized in the passage Of the
county division bill, is fast being I'M
tangled, and it is hoped that ere long
independent school district No. .i3 will
be re-established with possibly some
slight changes.
Under the law, the first step to be ia
ken by school district disorganized, il
to annex itself to some organized dis
trict, and to this end the county com
missioners last week, upon request, an
nexed us to the Coppdale district, Of
which we are now part and parcel.
The next step toward the reorganization
Of an Independent district, was to di-
vorce ourselves from the adjoining dis
trict For this purpose petitions are be-
ing circulated this week, asking the
county superintendent TO have us set oil
from the Coppdale district. =
This petition will come before the com
missioners at their April session, and il
granted, We become common school
district with three directors. Another
step toward All Independent district.
Then follows petition to the com
missioners asking that they call AN cleo
ton for the purpose OF voting on the
question of establishing an independent
district, and We are back where We start

All Of this trouble, worry and expens'
has been needlessly thrown upon on
people by the bunglesome and hurried
manner in which the county division
bill was rushed through. and the arbi
