The attitude Of the average grownup toward st.
Valentines day is one of good natured tolerance and
endurance. In the light of maturer years, the whole
business of the celebration is apt to look mighty
foolish. When he was y~ounger-well, perhaps it was
different then-but he has long since put aside child

consider the giving and receiving of valentines in
much the same light as they regard Christmas pres

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.

More cows are needed on our farms.
No animals are better for soil i'm
provement and the conservation Of hui
man food than cows. More cows
should be kept and more homes abun-
dainty supplied with milk and butter.
A few pounds of butter week or a
few hundred pounds Of butter fat per
month would mean more cash in the
home.
Milk cows will need succulent food
this spring and next winter. Plant
crops for early grazing and build a
silo and fill it for winter feeding. Sue
culent food is Indispensable to eco
nomical milk production.
Grain is a very important crop to
sustain and fatten animals. Corn Is
the staple In the humid belt and Kaffir,
milo and feterita In the arid and semi
arid belt. Plant liberal acreage In
grain.
Carrots, disregarding their cost, make
the best succulent feed that may be
given to horse. They are very pala-
table to almost all horses and do much
to tone up the system. This is par
dcularly noticeable in the thrifty con-
dition of the skin and hair of horses
which are fed carrots regularly. Car
rots are particularly priced by filters
OF show horses, which are being fed
heavily on grain. Ten pounds per day
Is generally accepted as the maximum
feed for an idle horse of average size.
Half as many pounds will suffice for
the worker. Unless one has an I'M
usual supply three or four carrots
thrown I'm the feed box will suffice. II
large they should be split lengthwise

OBITUARY..

Clinton II. Newell died at his home in
Mound, n. d., Tuesday morning, Feb
ruary 10, at the age of little more than
~ years. He contracted cold early In
the fall which gradually developed into
congestion of the lungs. His condition
was not considered dangerous until about
two weeks before his death. A physician
was called who succeeded in clearing his
lungs and hopes were entertained of his
recovery but the heart had become
weakened and IN the effort to cough it
stopped action, the eyes closed and life
went out without struggle. He was
born in Vermont, December 49, 1885
He was married to Miss Letitia Parks,
who died few years later, leaving four
children, one babe that soon followed
the mother. Two years later he married
Miss Mary Parks, sister of the first
wife, and moved to Clinton county,
New York. About 30 years ago they
moved to Minnesota, where the wife
died within two yeers, having first bur-
led babe of few months. The surviv-
ing children are John, who lives on the
home place in Mound, Mrs. Myrtle Blien
of Eagle Grove, Iowa, and William, who
lives In Portland, Oregon. Mr.. Newell
was carpenter at which trade he work
ed nearly all his life. He was gentle,
unassuming man, lover of nature, with
almost passion for trees and flowers.
He came to North Dakota about six
years ago and filed claim about mile
north of the Mound post Office. Here he
succeeded in getting fine grove of
forest trees we'll started and an orchard
of apple, plum and cherry trees as well
as small fruit most of which has begun
to bear. Mr.. Newell's body was prepar-
ed for shipment by Undertaken Gibbs and
the funeral services were conducted at
his late residence at 10 o'clock, February
18th, by Rev. Brinley of Marmarth. The
casket was then taken to Marmarth and
his son, John, started for Amboy, Mimi,
to lay it away in Pleasant Prairie Gene
