Poultry and Eggs

The question of feeding flavor into
eggs was settled years ago. Feeding
onions to hens has demonstrated the
fact that the eggs have a more or less
distinct flavor To get fine favored
eggs 1t is necessary TO restrict the
runs so that no considerable amount
of food can be of such a character as
to yield ill-flavored eggs.

He Was
Scared by a


II HALLOWEEN was at hand, and Jack and Evelyn were merrhy making
u Daddy had promised to bring nuts from the city, and mother had
agreed to make fudge and tafy. =>.
Grandpa and Jack had gone out into the country to buy a big pumpkin
for a jack-o-antern. No Halloween is complete you know without a jack-o-
lantern. -" $3.50: r. ''~* So
"1n never forget the first jack-oIantern I saw" daddy laughed.
Il had gone into a field and got a big cabbage stalk to use elm hammerfHg
on the neighbors' DOORS
ut got dark early that Halloween evening In fact, it was rather dark
and cloudy all day l didn't tell any ne at nome that had that cabbage
= k and meant to go out and knock o n doors. I was afraid if Pdd mother
N~dld not allow it. :
"The first door 1 knocked It wa lots of fun The folks came hurrying
out but 1 was around the corner before they had the door open. Then I
tried another door. 1t also was good fun.
"Down the street; lived some jolly boys 1 knew. I could not understand
why / did not see them out knocking at doors. They had been talking about
It for a month until they had all tler rest Of the boys anxious to join them.
II felt quite sure the boys were knocking at other peoples doors. I
thought it would be a good joke TO go to their house and knock at their door
while they were out "
every softly / cept to the door, gave it a whack with the cabbage stalk
and then turned to run. Right in front # me, so close that its fiery eyes
almost stared into mine was a horrible head that moved about with no body
on which to resi-"
II had heard many scary stories about the Halloween spooks and witches,
and l thought here as one, sree enough. I think I screamed, and as I did
so, splash! came a shower of water v &c. l yelled and RAJ like mad.
When 1 reached home and burst into the house, dripping wet and frightened
almost to death, mother put ne into a hot bath and then tucked ME to bed.
I didn't care for any more Halloween after that
II learned about it later The boys who lived in that house had been
upstairs at the window watching for boys to knock at their door. They had
let the jack-o-antern down by tying it to one end of a fish line. Then when
stood still they empded a pail of water yer me Everybody who knocked
1t their door that evening was served that way, and there we're a good many
boys thanks to the previous interest they had worked up in such tricks"

1t also condemns in no uncertain
terms all manne of sin, and is a vol
urne worthy Of the, consideration OF
all t~ruth-loving, Bible-believi1g peo-
pie. It comes to the world as a rec
ord Of Gods dealing with the highly
civilized prehistoric nations Of this
continent whose ruins evidence their
intelligence, and their knowledge. Of
the cross and Christ. 1t tells us that
they were descendants of Joseph Of
Egypt. 1t fulfills certain Bible proph-
ecies as no other work has or can. 1t
comes to us in fulfIlment of the
sealed book of Isaiah 20, the "stiek
of Joseph" of Eek. 81, the truth to
spring out of the earth in Ps. IS, and
many others. Now in bringing this
wonderful record before the people
and organizing the Church of jesus
Christ after the apostolic pattern,
and in calling men back to the old
gospel with it's attendant blessings,
has placed this man before the world
in the attitude of a true prophet,

contrary, and we hereby challenge
him to meet us in public discussiont

STORE CREDIT COSTLY.

The Northwest Farmstead calls at
tention to a condition in North Da-
kota that is interesting. The Farm
stead says
The ate of interest paid by North
Dakota farmers for money secured by
underlying first mortgage upon their
farms Is s to II per cent and aver
ages s per cent. Short time loans
cost 7 to u per cent. averaging 1918
per cent. The consequence is that
a large proportion Of farmers in that
state get credit at their country
store. These book accounts run any
where from three months to two
years. the average length Of time be-
ing one year. The investigation con-
Quoted last spring by President Nc
Vey of the University Of North Da-
kOta, which brought out these facts.
was proof that store credit may cost
the farmer anywhere from 10 to %
per cent.
IN other words, If through better
management, more thrift, efficient CO.
operation and a righteous system of
farm finance, our northwestern farm
ers are enabled to pay spot cash for
everything they actually require, they
would save anywhere from 10 to rs
per cent, compared to longtime store
credit.
yet almost every merchant and,
country dealer would prefer the spot
cash method, because 1t Is an axiom
in trade that quick sales at small
profits are better for the middleman
than slow sales at long time upon
wider margin. We farmers should
nance our business through the
banks instead of through the stores"

FRIDAY, OCT. "a, 1918.
FLOWING DISAPPOINTING.

Realty. men of the state are gen.
orally disappointed over the failure Of
the farmers Of North Dakota to get
as much blowing done his fall as
had been anticipated. While many of
them have their entire acreage plow-
ed there are others who have done
comparatively little more than last
season.
This Is despite the fact that con
ditions for fall blowing have never
been better than this year. In many
Of the central and western counties
the progress Of the work has been
greatly delayed for some unknown
cause.
In the Red river valley proper, the
farmers have progressed rapidly with
their work and are in better condi-
ton than in some former years. 1t
was generally expected that more
blowing would be done this season
than eve before because Of the I'M
fortunate conditions that existed last
year when such a small acreage was
plowed. Here and there over the
state the moro enterprising farmers
have accomplished 4 great deal but
the general average of the work done
is decidedly disappointing, according
to the realty men who have recently
made inspection trips over the state.
