which is near the freezing point, and
kept there for from three to five hours.
At the end of that THE the temperature
is lowered to the freezing point, and in
that water they are kept for from fifteen
to eighteen hours. Finally they are
frozen by pouring into the water a freez-

A warning against spring shooting
and an appeal to all sportsmen to

notice follows:
Spring shooting Of all kinds was
abolished by the 1913 legislature. The
measure carried an emergency clause
making the law in force at present
Many people seem to think they can
still shoot geese. This is an error that
may result in the arrest of the violat

operation of every sportsman of the
state to prevent spring shooting Of

An explanation OF the fundamentals
Of electricity especially as applied to
lighting plants was the feature of to-
days luncheon at the Commercial
club.
Following the luncheon L. B. NC
Mullen, introduced by President
White, announced that his talk would
not be technical in the least, but was
intended to give the business men OF
the city an idea of the difference be-
tween the electrical current with
which they have been supplied in the
past, and that which will be furnish.
ed under the new system.
Mr.. McMullen's talk was apparent
ly appreciated by his audience as the
greater part of them were ready to ad
NIT that they could not tell the differ
ence between volt, an ampere, or
ohm.
Among the visitors at the luncheon
were two representatives of the Fed
eral experiment station at Mandan
Messrs. Peterson and Pfaender. Mr.
Peterson explained briefly the work
which the government proposes to
accomplish through it's new station.
Under the law by which the sta
tions were established, these men will
take an active part in the develop
*ment of farm management and agri
culture on the great plains which
constitute large part of North and
South Dakota and other western
states. Until very recent years the
land has been largely homesteaded, a
considerable portion of the residents
being transients, or settlers who
knew little of the more modern meth
DDS of farming. This condition is now
changing, said the speaker, and a
more permanent system of agricul.
ture is being inaugurated in which the
government hopes to take a large
part.
