Sunlight and Lime As
Oisinfectants

Su"hSHt ana Lime As
Dsinfectants
One of the cheapest and most ef-
fective disinfectants is sunlight.
Could plenty OF sunshine penetrate
to every nook and corner of the
barn or shed there would never be
any call for chemical disinfectants
This explains the need for keepin,
barns and stables we'll lighted and

Every farm should be equipped
with an inexpensive hand spray
pump to be used with an ordinary
pail in applying various liquid disin-
fectants. For general use milk of
lime is one of the best germicides.

To be particularly effective milk
Of lime must be used while 1t is
fresh, although where it is tightly
corked in containers 1t may be kept

lime is valueless as disinfectant
while water slaked lime soon loses
its strength when it is exposed to
air. Milk of lime is of inestimable

IN THE LAP OF LUXURY.

We used to think that the man who
was fortunate enough to get elected
to a state office had cinched his for
tune, yet from monetary standpoint,
this is far from the truth. One Of our
state officials recently said to the edi-
tor of the Independent: 81 would
like chance to break even at this job
and if I can have the place another
term, I'll just about make it. There's
a scant living in the job-net. The ex-
penses of making statewide cam
paign, the contributions to various
causes, institutions and the petty de-
mands on one, takes the nap off, the
velvet people usually figure one hold
ing a state job has. Half of your sal
airy goes that way, or more, which
means that you have about $1,000 or
$500 per year to live on and to make
respectable appearance with. We're
thankful, however, for the honor"
Now don't all get hankering for a
state Office. If you have good bust
ness, a comfortable living, be salts
fled. Our state officials have to salts
fly so many people, too.

NEW YORK PAPER QUOTES
WESTERN BANKERS.

In an editorial calling attention to
signs of improved financial and bust
ness conditions, the New York Times
has the following to say of western
comment upon that subject: ....
sWhen Wall Street is blue it is Of
ten advised to look to the west for fair
weather signs. Out of the west now
comes the CHEEKY circular of the Me-
chanics bank of St. Louis, which sum-
marizes the situation in sentence i'm
possible of misunderstanding, the out
look is all right for better times The
bad times are behind. The country is
sounder and stronger for having pre-
pared itself for worse things, and
therefore is in a position to profit by
the improvement in sentiment upon
the perception that the strain has
passed. The president is curbing the
horses in congress; the pending leg
islation contains some things that are
desirable, and is being pruned of what
is undesirable. When the antitrust
bills are disposed of, politics will take
a back seat while the crops are grow.

HANNA WILL MAKE ANNOUNCE
MENT.

The Rolette County Examiner
thinks that inasmuch as u. l.. Burdick
is the first to make announcement for
the nomination for governor, it would
be just as we'll for the other candi-
dates to keep out of the contest. Bro.
Nelson would side track Hanna and
have him 20 after the senatorial toga
with Gronna and Miller. The In
dependent understands that Governor
Hanna has no such intention. His
announcement will be forthcoming
within week or two and his re-elec-
ton is practically certainty.
"From a financial point of view, l
could not afford to accept the Office
again if the people chose to give it to
me-" the governor once said, "but !
have started to work out certain
system in my Office that I should like
very much to complete" It is well
known fact that the governor is CIV
ing the work closer attention than he
ever did his own business. He takes a
certain pride in giving the state the
best there is in him and this is saying
good deal. North Dakota is indeed
fortunate to have a governor of Mr..
Hanna's ability.
The Independent regards Mr.. Bur-
dick highly as man but at this time
it would be folly to elect him to this
Office, considering the good work Mr..
Hanna is doing. Mr.. Burdick is said
to have remarked to friend, in an
swer to statement that he was about
two years too soon in entering the
contest, 81 do not expect to win, but
I hope some day to be elected COVER
nor and think that the present fight
will help me for the future"

During the recent visit of the writ
err to the state capital, we were i'm
pressed with the capable manner in
which the state offices are being con-
Quoted, and especially that Of the Sec
rotary of State. Thomas Hall has
spent twoyears in putting the work
in his department on systematic
basis and it is estimated that the
many simple, time and money saving
changes that he has inaugurated,
have saved the state no less than half
the amount of his salary, and by the
time his term is finished, he will be
able to reckon saving of fully $4,000
over the old methods. A visit to the
Office of the Secretary Of State will
prove that Mr.. Hall knows the sys-
temitizing of Office work and the in
dexing of public records. When Mr..
Hall took charge of the work, there
was no index to amount to anything
and it would require anywhere from
ten minutes to three days to find a
record, but now it is possible to place
ones finger on any Of the records at a
moments notice. The recording is all
done with bookkeeping machines
which Mr.. Hall put into service solely.
He found them in the Office, but they
were not often used. No long hand
goes, and Mr.. Halls records are good
to look at. Naturally Mr.. Hall is go
ing to be a candidate for reelection.
He has served but one term, but he
has given such a good account of him
self that the people will not be salts
fled unless he serves another. He
hasn't made any announcement yet,
but this will hardly be necessary. His
friends will elect him anyway. S

He was travelling drug store, for he
not only prescribed, but filled the pre-
scription as we'll. He was doctor and
nurse combined, for we've seen him sit
at the bedside of one Of the members
of the family the whole night long
and no matter how sick the patient
was, in some inconceivable manner
he'd manage to pull him thru. He
didn't know anything about appendi-
citis in those days and his operations
consisted mainly of slashing felon
or opening a ripe boil. He was what
you'd call a "quack" these modern
times. He had never seen the inside
of a medical college and frequently
he'd consult his great doctor book that
he would always carry with him. He
was our eye specialist. Time and
again we'd send for good old Doctor
Fraser to relieve US from an infamed
optic. He was innocent of the value
of Bella Donna. He'd first try Witch
Hazel and if that didn't bring relief,
then cold cream, scraped potatoes,
flax seed poultice, cold tea leaves, hot
packs, then cold packs, salt water and
poppy leaves. What that doctor did
Mt try wasn't worth trying and in
spite of his eye remedies, we'd pull
thru in some fashion. And then he
was our dentist. No use in trying to
save youngsters tooth. Doc had
two or three pairs of perfectly good
strong forceps and a powerful arm.

Fessenden Free Press: If an average
cow worth SIS, how much is this
COW worth to man who will care for
her? A Holstein COW, LaMay, in the
year just closed, produced 26,66O
pounds of milk and 773 pounds of but
terfat, equal to 996 pounds Of but
ter. She has given over 80 pounds of
milk per day or about eleven and
half gallons. For the year she av-
eraged 70 pounds per day or eight and
a half gallons. She gave % times her
weight in milk. Her feed bill amount
ed to $142.03. Her milk sold for ten
cents per quart standardized and
brought in $1,201.55. On an average
farm her milk would be worth $4,000
at 81 per hundred pounds. The but
ter sold at 80 cents per pound and the
skim milk at rs cents per hundred
pounds would amount to $293.86. The
average cow in Dakota gives less than
$50 pounds per year, which, at the
price given above, amounts to $45 per
year. Six common cows would not
produce butter values equal to this
one cow. The six cows would eat
much more than % pounds Of silage,
8 pounds of alfalfa, pounds of spec
ial alfalfa feed and 20 pounds Of grain
mixture. This is what this COW can
eat daily. The profits come through
the difference in keeping one COW body

bodies (7,200 pounds) for the same
length Of time. We don't mean that
everybody should or can have herd
Of cows that will do equally well. We
do mean that there is lot of room
for better cows-better milk and but
ter cows and they need not necessar-
lily be dairy cows either. It is easy to
get 2OO-pound to 3OO-pound cows at
no extra cost except the cost Of test
ing and this cost the better cows will
more than pay for. In testing assoc
iations the cost Of testing does not
exceed $3.50 per cow.

The Independent notes with salts

The Independent notes with salts
faction that the farmers Of this sec
ton of North Dakota are preparing
to grow corn as one of their main
crops this year. While an abundance
of almost perfect corn was grown last
year, there is great scarcity Of seed,
which indicates that the corn acreage
will be several times what it was last
year. Farmers who saved good seed
have had no trouble in disposing of it
to their neighbors at good figure and
right now those who have seed can
dispose of it at premium. Those
who attended the corn shows at Devils
Lake and Grand Forks say that our
own corn was better than that shown
at those places, and this isn't saying
anything derogatory to those shows
either. A few years ago farmers put
corn in as a fodder crop, not realiz-
ing that good mature corn could be
grown here. After the oats, wheat,
rye, barley and fax were in, then came
the corn. But times have changed.
Good seed has been bred up and no
matter what the season may bring
forth, good corn can always be grown
here. 1t is planted just as early as,
the weather will permit This is one
crop that does not leave the land in
an impoverished condition. 1t eradi-
Gates the foul weeds, stores up the
moisture and when, as is often the
case, cattle are turned into the field, |
the ground is actually enriched. It
would seem from these facts that corn
is crop that would pay most any
farmer to grow. Naturally it will
pay better to grow it to feed to stock,
but considering that in many cases it
will average from thirty to fifty BUSH
els to the acre, it would pay much bet
ter as market crop than wheat.
Farmers in this section do not need
to be urged to grow corn. They know
what they are about.

as North Dakota can be considered
