Still, DR.. Burnam was emitting no pre|

was stored away in the safe of the ship
Then the physician transferred the min

by his side.
The bringing Of the radium to DR.. Keli
means that the physician now possesse

OLD Rating FOR
Binding Irvine
Western Classification Com.
|mittcc Makes Big Saving
for Farmers

The state railroad commission is
sratitied over receiving notice from
the Western Classification commit
tee, which is { body made up Of rep
resentatives OF the traffic departments
of all the railroads in western terri
tory, to the effect that the committee
has decided to restore binding twine
to the agricultural implement list.
Binding twine was formerly in this
classification, but a year or SO ago it
was taken out OF this list and given
a higher rating.
This change back of binding Irvine
to the old rate is a step from uniform
ity, but after giving careful consider
alton to the complicated situation
that confronted the western lines on
account of commodity raings and the
strenuous protests filed by the North
Dakota and other railroad commits
sions. the committee thought best in
this instance for all concerned to ig-
more the uniform work and restore
Irvine to the old rating.
This decision will mean quite a
large saving in the aggregate to North
Dakota farmers.

and when they were weighed in the
middle Of December they averaged
123 pounds. Counting a gain of Is
pounds per head and allowing $4,000
for about 200 bushels of corr fed
to the hogs. and figuring the pork at
s cents per pound, these hogs re.
turned $4,000; the hay was worth
Sl95.0O.' total $657. 90 from six acres
or $4,000 per acre. Contrary to the
results in many other cases this pas.
turing did not hurt the alfalfa and
was repeated without harm the next
year.
In 1909, this piece of alfalfa yielded

This alfalfa was not injured by this
extra hard treatment but some parts
