annual visitation heretofore, Just aft
err the ~threshing of the crop In the
fall.
! Silos are being built in several sec
! tions Of the county, and they are be-
ing filled with the excellent forage
crops produced upon our prolific soil.
While the change must necessarily
be a gradual one, in order to allow tho
farmer to accommodate himself 10 the
change-for 1t Is a great change
nevertheless the good work Is making
rapid progress and the day is not far
distant when, the al wheat" farmer
will be a curiosity.
The first annual corn show held in
this city last week opened the eyes of
many to the great possibilities lying
n the raising of corn in this section.
Land which will raise from fifty to
eighty bushels Of corn to the acre is
far too valuable to be used for thet
raising Of a ten to fifteen bushel crop
of wheat. especially since it has been
demonstrated that duly acclimateG.
corn will mature in good shape in this
northern latitude. Thousands of acres
will be seeded to corn next year, with
a prop~ortionate reduction in the acre
g of wheat and fax. And the conn.,
ing Of the corn will mean the elimin4
alton Of the foul weeds which have
been rapidly getting the best Of our
fertile fields.
Corn. Cattle and Cash" has BEEN
generally accepted as the slogan by
Eddy county farmers, and it has a.
much pleasanter tinkle to the ears
than what we were coming to-:
Wheat, Weeds and WANT.

HOG RAISING PROVES
PAYING VENTURE

Fessenden, N. D.. Nov. 2o.-A. j.
Gaumnitz, the agent for the Better
Farming movement in this section Of
the state, tells of the benefits derived
by livestock raising and points out the
experiences of q farmer Of this county,
near Sykeston. He seeded an acre and
a. quarter of barley in a hog lot as
early as the ground was At. About
the middle Of May he began .pasturing'
1t with eighteen pigs and their%moth-'
ers. During the summer he fed about
thirty bushels of ground rye as thin
Stops. In September he turned theme
loose on a ten-acre field Of corn.
After cleaning that UP he cut the corn
on another ten-acre lot and Is now
feeding the hogs. The eighteen pigs
now will4weigh ITO. They are rap
idly gafhing and he will sell suffl- -
cient pork to make the land bring him
$18.56 an acre for this season, allow
ing him a fair interest on the invest-r
ment. His wheat crop brought him 81
per acre and q great deal of that was
used up in labor and threshing bil1sa
In addition to the difference in re7
turns his corn land, on which the hogs
were fed, was improved and it's fertil-,
ity increased while the fertility Of the
wheat land was being depleted. ,

CRUSHED
BY HEAVY LOAD

Drayton, n. D, Nov. 20.-After five
juries received in a fall from a load
Of hay at about noon today, Alphonse
Gourde, a well-to-do farmer of Cashel,
died at S o'clock this evening at the
Drayton hospital.
He was engaged in hauling hay
from his farm near Toilette to one
near Cashel, when in some N he
slipped from the load and INTO the
heels Of his team Of horses. The
animals, frightened by the weight
thus suddenly precipitated upon
them, started to run and Gourde was
thrown under their heels and kicked
in the head, receiving injuries which
of themselves must have proven ia
tai.
In addition, the front wheel Of the
heavily loaded wagon, carrying at
least two tons of hay, passed over the
PROSTATE mans chest, crushing it in
and inhicting internal Injuries which
caused excessive h~emorrhages,
The accident happened almost dt.
rectly in front Of the Morrison school
building, where children we're at play
during the noon hour and the alarm
was quickly spread. The injured man
was brought to the city and given
medical attention by DR.. Waldren at
the Drayton hotel.
The victim Is survived by a wife
and large family of children, and was
one Of the prominent and successful
farmers in his locality. This is the
second death in the family within
two weeks, Mrs. Gourde, his mother,
having died within that time. A sis
ter, Mrs. Joseph Barnard of Grafton,
also survives.

LOSES TEETH IN
BITING MITTS OFF

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 20.-Rob>
ert Davis. the many-monickered in
sane man, showed signs Of violence
when he used his teeth in tearing big
leather mitts off his hands, The mitts
are made of heavy sole leather and
are unusually tightly sewed, but Davis
made short work of them. He lost two,
upper teeth in tearing them.
{ After ripping the gloves to pieces,
Davis proceeded to. tear the, padding,
from the walls of the cell, The sight
Of the tacks started another h~allucin-
alton, and he arranged them in a row.
Referring to them as soldiers, he
stood back a few feet and started to
shoot them down.
This did not suftice, but he also,
wanted ito eat them. When Deputy
Sheriff Brenna appeared on the scene
he was busily chewing several of the
tacks.
Davis appears to be a mar Of many
accomplishments. Yesterday he recited
poetry, one of his selections being
The Wreck Of the Hesperus. Singing
Is another of his pastimes, and he
spends much time in caroling the
strains of. known and heretofore .un-
heard of selections.
