The county com mtnissioners
met in regular session at the
court house Monday and were
in session until yesterday after
noon.
Most of the time was devoted
to- routine business and to a
discussion OF the new law with
regard to- the caring for the
county poor. The statute
ito have been loosely
drawn and has been causing
considerable confusion and
controversy.
The Lansford Journal was

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The corn contest will be held
sometime during the latter
part of November. All those
wishing to enter the contest
should send in their corn soon.
There will be very few
schools in Bottineau county
this year that will have less
than an eight mohths' term of
school. A large majority will
have nine months.
The new school buildings in
Loon Lake and Eidsvold dis
tricts will be ready for occup-
ancy in the near future. These
buildings will be a great inn
provenent and add to the effic-
iency of the work i'm these
districts.
Two teachers will be employ
ed in the Drystad school this
year. Miss Karen Noun will
have charge of the upper grades
and Miss Mabel Gorder will
look after the needs of the little
folks. This is a move in the
right direction and better re-
suits are looked for than were
possible in the crowded one
room school.
1t has been impossible to re-
ceive a supply of registers and
courses of study from the state.
These will be sent out as soon
as the state department can
supply them. Teachers should
bear in mind that there is no
new course of study for 1918.
The 1912 course will be used
again this year and next. These
books are the property of the
district and should be left there
at the close of school.
Notice has been received
from the state department that
the following schools of Botti
neau county have been placed
on the classified list and en-
| titled to state aid:

tion and that other candidates

The decision Of the attorney

he has been regarded foI

Other men mentioned in the
same connection have been
former Congressman Marshall
and Governor Hanna. It seems
positive that the latter, how.
ever, will not be in the race

he will seek a reelection to his

BY declaring the North Da.

been opened to the state rail
way commission to suppress
methods that have been EN-
ployed in many district to the
detriment of independent grain
companies. and it means a big
impetus to the organization of
the mutual farmers COM
panies.
Complaints charging that
line elevator companies adopt
ed unfair competitive methods
have been voiced from time to
time for several years. AT
points where the line COM
panies were obliged to compete
with independent companies,
the price paid to the farmers
for grain would be increased
to a point beyond that paid by
the independent compa nies.
Other points similarly stu
ated, and where there was nc
competition, would be quoted
at a lower price, the evident
purpose being to drive out the
competition of the independ.
ents. The independent com.
panies, too, it has been charged,
have adopted unfair tactics, and
many complaints have beer

BHNNER DRY-FARMING
YEAR.

The dry-farmers are reported to
have immense yields nearly every
where tbs last year. The prepare
ton OF the land by dry-farming
methods resulted in the retention
OF considerable amounts Of mois-
turc which fell prior to the seeding
uf the crop, and since, for that
matter. Without this preparation
the water would have rapidly dis
appeared and when needed for crop
production would not have been
available. Certain sections Of
Montana and considerable areas in
Colorado report immense crops Of
small grain. due wholly to dry
farming methods. When it is re-
called that the amount of work
necessary to prepare the land for a
dry crop is not so very much great
CT than by the ordinary method,
the great valuc of dry-farming to
a large part OF the Missouri Valley
and Rocky Mountain slope is very
apparent.

Apples should be thoroughly
cooled as soon as separated from
the tree, just as milk should be as
soon as drawn from the COW.
If you have any apples yet to go
to market. try. grading them care
fully. keep an accurate account OF
your selling transactions and we
think you will find that your work
will prove profitable.
Every year In late fall it is a
good plan to go through the or
chard and with a coarse rake gath
er up every diseased or rotten ap-
pie or other fruit left on the
ground and destroy them.

THE ORNAMENTAL HEDGE,

1t takes a number of years to get
shade trees large enough to add to
the beauty of a yard or lawn, but
mi, is not the Ease with ornamen-
tai hedge.
japanese barberry Oh California
orivet will soon make a compact
hedge and there is nothing which
will add more to the bare land
scape. TN this latitude the fall of
the year has been found a very
satisfactory time to set hedges,
though equal results may be had
from spring planting.
There is one very important
hing that should be looked after
when the plants r set, and that is
tho pruning. The ground should
be prepared by blowing and man
uring heavily with we'll rotted
manure, a strip two feet wide. then
set the plants six inches apart III
this row, if it is to be a single row
hedge.
If it is to be a double row hedge,
set the plants eight inches apart in
rows the same width so that the
plants will miss or zig-zag. This

than three inches above thu

FOR THE BROOD SOW.

OXA ONOOO 0O Y"
Grass and vegetable matter are
the most natural foods for pigs, al
though they will eat and can digest
a great variety of things. The
nearer a SOW can be kept to a grass
or vegetable diet the healthier she
will be. and this system is prefer
able to dry, rich foods consisting
mainly of grain. barley or other
meals.
Bran is most useful when grass
is not available, but where it is not
possible to give sows a grass run,
lucerne, tares and other green for
age crops can sometimes be substi-
tuted.
Roots, except that mangels must
not be given at all freely as far
rowing approaches or the pigs are
almost certain to be born dead, are
useful and where there is a large
garden it will provide a great deal
of vegetable stuff that can be adj
vantageously employed for in-pig
sows-stuff, too, that would BE-
otherwise wasted. Large guam
titles of dry grain, and especially
corn and barley, must be avoided
as too heating; and hotel waste
butchers offal, slaughter-house re
fuse-indeed animal matter iii an,
form-are also bad, and may, it i
said, be an exciting cause of canni
balism.
When at grass or getting greer
forage or garden stuff, a few oil
beans or some dry corn may b
given once OF twice a week.
;, The food for the in-pig SOW 70
the last week or so of her tim
should be as nearly as possible tina
. on which she will be fed for tire
or four weeks after she is farroN
ed. A weii-known breeder says:

UTILIZATION OF FEED BY
CATTLE.

IiulN luu0l diLifldlS Us It
CARDS the returns which they Weld
for the feed consumed. A current
statement is that a good feeder has
a greater digestive power than 4
poor one, OF that the power OF as
sanitation of the one animal is su-
perior to that of the other and it
has been assumed that the advan-
tage of the better type of animal
lay III its ability to produce more
flesh or fat from a unit of feed
than should the poorer one.
1t has also been commonly
taught, and seems to be generally
accepted by the animal husband
men as an established fact, that the
young growing animals not only
make actually larger gains than
the more mature ones. bit likewise
more economical gains.
The influence Of type and age
upon the utilization Of feed BY cat
tie has therefore, been investigated
by officials of the Department of
Agriculture, with the following re
suit:
Two steer calves were selected
as the subjects of this invcstiga-
ton, one a pure-bred typical beef
animal Of one Of the well-known
beef breeds, the other a scrub of
linked breeding. Exhaustive feed
ing trials were carried out with
these animals, including twenty
four experiments with the respira-
ton calorimeter.
r Finally the steers were subject
!; ed to a slaughter test, whereby, the
! quality of the meat and the relative
size Of the various cuts were acct
rately determined. The work i:
therefore important alike to the
: practical feeder and the agricul
:, tural scientist.
The feeding stufs used were O.
; the same kind for both the ami
!, mails in all the periods, and tn,
different grains used were mixet
5 throughout IN the same proportion
the time the digestibility of thu
for each steer. At intervals during
total ration and the nitrogen bal
ance were determined for each ami
. NAL.
n During each Of the three winter
5 covered by the investigation, fou
experiments were made on each an
0 imal by means of the respiratio,
: calorimeter in order to determin
f the percentage Of availability 0
e the energy Of the feed consumed.
During the first winter-that O
1ooS-o-the feeding stuffs use
a differed from those employed dur
r ing the ordinary feeding. In tn
/ succeeding two winters the grain
} feeds used were the same, only tn
