From this time of the year and on to
April much stock which should not be
turned loose at all will stray from home
and picbed up by farmers living perhaps
miles away. There is always a certain
amount of misunderstanding regarding
the law requiring the advertising of
of estray animals and your attention is
called to the following proper method OF
handling such advertising: Any,person
taking up an estray animal must adver-
tiSe the same within ten days in some
newspaper in the county. He must also
within ten days send notice of ADVERTISE
ment to the county auditor and another
by registered mail to the commissioner
of agriculture at Bismarck. II you fail
to do this you are likely to get into

n. G. Macdonald, inspector of rural
consolidated schools for North Dakota,
in an Interview recently comments upon
North Dakota consolidated schools:
"ln the progress of rural schools
consolidation North Dakota
favorably with Minnesota. While the
state aid to consolidated schools in
Minnesota is six times as large as that
of this state. North Dakota has 100
more consolidated schools than the
Gopher state. During the last year we
have perfected Is smore consultations
than has Minnesota, and;I believe that
if this state had the same inducements
to offer in the way of state aid as has
the sister state to the east. we would
have done even better. "The central
and western part of the state lead in
the number Of its rural schools. So far
this year Ransom County is in the lead
in the number of districts consolidated
with Cavalier county a close second.
The idea is gaining ground and it is
hoped that the coming year will show
increased activity along this line over
the state"

President Wilson seems to have actef

President Wilson seems to have acted
as in harmony with his prediction
promises and in accord with the de.
mands of the people that few are heard
to complain. Party organs and party
leaders have tried to make capital out
of many things which he has done but
such effort meets with no favor from the
general public. He depends largely
upon his party, but simply that his party
should keep its word with the ceople,
assuming that the party was in earnest
and expecting its leaders to carry into
execution platform pledges. He has so
far carried his party legislators with
him and has satisfied those who we're
clamoring for improvement IN condi-
tions, no matter of what party. Withal
his actions have been moderate and
there is no indication that capital, that
very timid bogy which has always been
brought out of the closet to scare voters
with, has been alarmed or that panic is
near. Most of the people of the United
States have come to feel that the country
is safe under his rule and are going on
attending to their own duties without
fear.

THE COUNTRY is PROSPtRING

The recent gathering Of the Republi-
cans to reconstruct the machinery of
the grand old party was characterized
by much lugubrious representation and
long-faced lamentation over the impend-
ing p%anics and waves of depression
supposed to be on the way. But, "belov-
ed brethern," you're badly fooled.
The January dividends for the rail
roads and other big institutions of the
country will amount to S~24S,O25,434;
exceeding last Januar, S by over $1,000
600 Moreover, the new tariff is in effect
and there is no noise of crashing in
stitutlons. Business is wretched in
Wall street, where gambling in crops
and securities is carried on, and seats in
the big gambling exchange have gone
down so per cent in value in the past
few years-but that doesn't harm the
country any. Already the bankers who
were going to throw up their charters If
the currency bill passed have announc-
ed that they are preparing to get into
the regional reserves arrangement and
the new system. Winter wheat is in
better condition than it has been in 10
years, and there are 2,S9S, 900 more acres
of 1t planted than q year ago. The
steel business is looking up. The Inter
national Harvester company recently
put 200 more men to work. And a
million dollars more than last year has
been sent to Europe in Christmas gifts
through the New York postoffice by the
immigrants.
Perhaps the grand old party leaders
are hoping to start something in order
that, in the swing of the pendulum, the
country may turn TO them for help.

HOG CHOLERA SERUM PLANT
Why Orders Received at Brookings
Could Not Be Filled.

The Experiment Station at Brook
ings has received many requests dur
ing the past month in regard to Sc
curing hog cholera serum. For the
information of the people, the ex-
pertinent station is not manufacture
ing hog cholera serum. The rules
of the federal department of agricul-
ture, under which the station money
is expended, will not permit of police
duty in the state. Experiments have
been conducted with the serum by
the station, and others will be con-
Quoted this fall. The station published
Bulletin No. 1873, which tells all about
the disease, symptoms, treatment,
etc. This bulletin is free on applica.
ton to the director of the station at
Brookings.
The last legislature made an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the manufacture
of hog cholera serum at the state in
stitution. The college was %unfortu-
nate in losing its veterinarian, hence
a little delay in the manufacture of
the serum. However, his ccess in.
forms me that the serum is now
ready for distribution. Requests for
this serum will be filled in order.
South Dakota ought to have a
laboratory where all the different
kinds of serum could be made at the
expense of the state and sold to the
people at cost. This will come about
in time.
Some criticism has been made of
the station throughout the state be-
cause it did not make this serum for
the people, hence this explanation.
The station is not negligent, and in
this connection l might state that no
experiment station in the United
States lei the federal funds for the
making and distribution of hog chol-
era serum.-Professor James w. VIII
son, Director of Experiment Station.

carefully calculated and deliberate
manner by means of which he prepar-
ed the way to his reconquest of the

Germany Favors English Rule.
Even the German press, which for
merly was so full of abuse of British
methods in Egypt, is enthusiastic in
its praise of Kitchener, declaring that
he has once more proved the old es-
tablished axiom of those who possess
real experience, and not mere super
fetal acquaintance with the east, to
the effect that the Oriental is untitled
for popular government and that the
only successful method of administer
ing his destinies is by a benevolent
despotism.
The incorporation of the Valley of
the Nile in the British Empire is the
natural and inevitable consequence of
Frances acquisition of the Empire of
Morocco, and of Italy's conquest of
Tripoli, and that Kitchener should
have become the chief executive of
this process of annexation, which will
have the effect of adding 100000
