GREAT TONNAGE OF IGNITE.
Williston Field of North Dakota Esti-
mated to Contain 10 Billion Tons.

The great deposits of Ignite underly-
ing what is known as the Williston lig-
mite field in North Dakota form the
subject of report by Frank A. Herald,
recently issued by the United States
geological survey as Chapter f of bull
letin 53l Several mines are in opera
ton in this field, and one of the plants
using the Ignite is unique-that OF the
United States reclamation seryice-in
that it burns the Ignite at the mines
for the generation of electricity that
is conveyed over cable lines in Buford,
where electrically operated pumps are
located. These pumps lift water from
Missouri river to the canals of an ex-
tcnsive irrigation system, which waters
a large section of the Missouri river val
ley. The plant, including the mine, is
in operation during the irrigation sea
son only, but it furnishes the basis of
an important industry. Ignite seems
well adapted to this work and can be
cheaply mined. 1t is hauled in pit cars
from the mine to a small crusher above
bunkers which empty into the engine
room. Some of the furnaces are led by
hand, but others are stocked automatic
ally; the fuel is handled well either
way.
Make Good Domestic Fuel.
The Williston Ignite is used chiefly,
however. as household fuel but also to
some extent under stationary boilers.
As domestic fuel it is satisfactory
when properly used, but the novice
generally meets perplexing difficulties
and is likely to underestimate its value.
The most satisfactory results are OBJ
tanned in ordinary cooking or heating
stoves when the frebox is well filled
with Ignite that has been broken into
small chunks and dried.
Ignite has been thoroughly tested
under power plant boilers and found to
be satisfactory when properly handled
Systematic tests were made at the re-
clamation service power plant in Dc
tober, 1908, to determine the efficiency
OF the fuel and to learn the best meth
dds of firing. These tests showed that
the Ignite is satisfactory for making
steam when boilers and fireboxes are
properly constructed and the fires are
correctly fed and controlled. The re-

Paris, Dec. 3l,--A popular English
vaudeville performer, known on the stage
as Harry Fragson, was shot and killed
by his s4-year-old father, Victor Pott,
last night.
On his way home from the theatre
the actor called at his fathers apart
ment and high words ensued.
Suddenly the father seemed to lose
all control of himself and drew re-
volver, which he fired. The son died
later in a hospital.
The feeble old man, greatly shaken,
was taken to police station. He said
he bought the revolver intending SUI
eide.
His life was unbearable because his
son had brought a woman to the house
despite his protests. He meant to kill
himself in their presence but why he
fired at his son he could not explain.

RAISING DRAFTERS.
Success With Horses Demands Wise
Selection Of Breeding Stock.

Success With Horses Demands q Wis
Selection Of Breeding Stock.
In raising draft horses wise seiec
ton Of breeding stock is Of the most
Importance. Drafters Of heavy weight
good action and proper conformation
cannot be produced from understood
inferior or unsound breeding stock
writes NJ. Watson in the National
Stockman. First Of all. a good brood
mare should be sound and free from all
defects A sound mare Of fairly good
wide. drafty type. even though she
may not be so very large, If mated
with the right kind of stallion will
produce drafters Of high order. Such
mare. however. should not be bred
to stallion of extreme weight Bet
ter results will follow if she is bred to
the rugged. heavy boned stallion Of me-
dium draft size and the FLIES from
this crossbred to the heavy stallion.
In breeding draft horses the stallion
is Of even greater importance than the
mare on account Of there being so
many mares that are understood. 1t Is
important that the stations should be
of good size and heavy bone, and sound
ness in a stallion should be the first
consideration 1t is a matter OF sur
prise that farmers do not pay more
attention to this point both when buy
ing stallion and when breeding their
mares. They are apt to select a stall
lion much as they would steer. being
Influenced almost entirely by the size
and appearance Of the body. and too
little attention is given to the feet and
legs. 1t is impossible to have a good
draft horse without good feet and the
legs sound and we'll placed. There
never was time when the light
boned. understood draft stallion was
so poor an investment as now. The big.
strong boned. shapely fellows are those
that will make the money. When !
speak of size do not mean weight
alone. Too many farmers are deceived
by mere weight. A draft horse at ma
turity in good condition should weigh
from 1900 pounds to ton.
In the highest type Of draft horse
of late years much more attention has
been given to quality and action. There
Is good reason for this. The drafter
of good action is much more useful on
the farm than the horse whose great
est qualification is simply weight.
While the drafter is not driver and
never will be. be should be good
walker and 20 free and straight at
the trot in order to be Of the greatest
use on the farm. A man who has a
pair of mares that move in straight
line and have a good walk does not
complain that he cannot get enough
work out Of his team. Quality Is also
very desirable. 1t always attracts the
attention of the buyer and makes the
horse a ready seller,

Feed Calves by Hand.

The dairynlan wlu today allows bis
calves to suck the cows is about as
far behind the times as the man who
narvests his grain with the cradle.
There are still few men who pose
hs dairymen who follow this practice.
The better practice is to allow the calf
to get the first milk direct from the I'D
der and remain with the cow for thir-
ry-six hours. then take away and give
1t milk to drink from a pail. The
amount given should not exceed one
gallon twice day. The better way
still would be to give this amount at
three intervals instead Of two.
