Begin now to get things in snug
condition for winter. Be careful that
you do not take the young stock from
airy coops and shut them into winter
quarters that are warm and tight. Let
them have plenty of fresh air but no
draughts. Do not have too many win
dows as they make the houses hot
during the day and cold at night. Re-
member the birds have on their new
coats and are not in need Of so much
warmth. Damp and wet are far
worse for fowls than cold, and hens
are often kept from laying on account
of poor houses. This time of the year
a change to damp and cold will often
give colds that will perhaps lead to
case of roup during the winter. Keep
the house clean, warm and dry, dis
infect often and much will be done to
prevent disease. Warm and dry quar-
tiers are necessary for the birds that
are not thru with moult.
Do not keep the cockerels intended
for market too long as the price is GO
ing down as it nears November and
the turkey has the right of way.
The cockerels to be sold for breed
ing purposes are being culled rapidly.
Get your orders in early.
If you have a number of cockerels
on hand and they fight a great deal,
put an old cock in with them. He will
settle the scraps and be proud of his
job.
Be on intimate terms with your
poultry. Pick them up occasionally.
They will lay better if you treat them
in q sociable manner.
II you have q m0ngrel flock why not
select the best of the females and pur-
chase strong, vigorous, pure-bred
male to mate with them. It will in
crease the value of next wears flock
Is per cent.
Some Of the best birds that will be
shown at the shows this season have
been raised on the farm. The farmer
can let them have free range and a
variety Of food, both of which are
valuable in the production of shape
and color.
Early Matched pullets, or yearline
hens that have moulted in season;
airy houses without too many glass
windows and no draughts; plenty OF
litter to keep the fowls busy scratch
ing; a good supply of fresh air; clear
water, shell and grit; and all this mix.
ed well with whole lot Of human
kindness is simple recipe for getting
eggs this winter.
Bank the houses to keep them free
from draughts and keep enough lit.
ter on the floor to keep their feet warn
and to give them plenty of exercise
scratching for their morning feed. The
circulation Of blood is very active
through hens food and she cannot
make her food into eggs if it takes
too much Of it to keep her feet warm
The weather seems to have the same
effect on poultry as it does on people
\ On gloomy days if the flock seems tt
be moping around give them good
feed of something they like and it will
brighten them up.

NEW MINOT CUTOFF
TO BE USED NOV. 2.
Railway Postal Division Will Be
Moved From Devils Lake to New
Rockford.

Moved From Devils Lake to New
Rockford.
Under the changes in mail, express
and passenger service on the Great
Northern, effective Nov. 2, on which
date the company will place the Minot-
Fargo cutoff in service, the railway
postal service will be removed from
Devils Lake to New Rockford. The
change affects about forty clerks who
are now running on the coast passen-
ger and mail trains. Under the new
service the fast mail trains will run
over the cutoff, with New Rockford
as division quarters.
Train No. 2, which now runs by way
of Devils Lake, will run over the new
cutoff, while No. 8, which runs by way
of the Larimore, Casselton & Devils
Lake, also will be sent over the cut
of, reaching that line at Bedford,
near Casselton.
Train No. l, the westbound Oriental
Limited, will continue over its present
route, by Grand Forks and Devils
Lake, while train No. 4, which has
been running over the Larimore &
Casselton line, will go over the Grand
Forks line by the changed schedule.
Heretofore the eastbound Oriental
Limited has connected at Grand Forks
with the Duluth train, there being a
delay Of only twenty-five minutes. I'm
der the new schedule, however, that
service is abandoned.
Train No. 6, Minot to Minneapolis,
will be operated on later schedule
than it is at the present time, leaving
Minot at l p. m. instead Of 8:45, and
connects with the Red River Valley
Limited fast train for Minneapolis,
No. 6 running by way of Crookston to
the twin cities.
The establishment of the service
over the Minot-Fargo cutoff marks the
completion of the preliminary trials of
that road, which have been carried on
for some time. Railroad officials pro-
nounced the roadbed in good condi-
ton for the fast traffic.
By using it the Great Northern cuts
off several hours in its time between
the twin cities and the Pacific coast.

Delays Action on Completion Of
Pearl Harbor Dry Dock.

Expert advice from outside Of the Navy
Department will be invoked by Secretary
Daniels in arriving at decision as to
the completion Of the big Pearl Harbor
dry dock.
The Secretary has spent the best part
of two days in listening to the report
of the civil engineers and department
officials upon the difficulties in the way
of carrying out the original plans for
the construction Of the dock as the re-
suit Of the upheaval Of the bottom.
He has concluded that the amount of
money involved is SO large that the

WOULD SIFT GLASS BILL.
Lindbergh Wants to Know Whether
It Fosters MonorolY.

Representative Lindbergs Of Minnesota,
a member Of the House committee on
banking and currency, has introduced a
resolution proposing that the House
create a special committee of seven MEM
bers Ito investigate whether the Glass
currency bill would create an inconsistent
governmental practice by fostering
monopoly of money and credit, and by
prosecuting trusts and combinations I'M
der the Sherman antitrust law
Mr.. Lindbergh's resolution would have
this investigating committee ascertain
whether 1t is constitutional for the gov
eminent to provide a method by which
to organize private interest into a COM
pact mutual interest with power to con-
troll money and credit. 1t characterizes
the Glass bill as one that would estab-
lish contradictory procedure in admins
tratinn.
The resolution is predicated on a pre-
amble which complains that although
the banking and currency committee
passed a rule to hold all session open.
two-thirds of the committee are holding
daily meetings that are secret and ex-
elusive, refusing the other members ad-
mission.
