New Dangers for Thoughtless Women
Keen observers of life estimate that
there are just as many men who frequent
the tea rooms simply for the purpose OF
making the acquaintance of attractive
women as for the sake Of robbery. The

Mrs. Pixies experience illustrated only
some Of the dangers Of this phase of city
life-the ease with which the friendship
of highly respectable woman could be
cultivated under cover of the afternoon
dance and the criminal acts it might lead
to. Mrs. Pike, who is the wife of cotton
broker and lives in handsome apart
ment at No. $40 Riverside Drive, was
shocked recently to find that her place
had been robbed of $1,000 worth of jewels
and a quantity Of valuable clothing. When
she turned the matter over in her mind
she was forced to admit that suspicion
rested on certain mr.. Williams"

a tea at the Hotel Astor, one of the most

Harold W. johnson. cashier

passed away at that place at an
early hour Wednesday morning.
Pneumonia and brain fever are
given AS the cause of death,
from which he had only been
ailing for about a week.
Mr.. Johnson was but 80 Years
of age and when he came to
North Dakota accepted posi-
tion with the Souris bank in
1904 and had been with that
bank until 1908 when he was
offered the cashiership of the
Roth Bank, which position he
has held Since.
Mr.. johnson was we'll and
favorably known throughout
the county and there are a
score of friends who will mourn
his sudden death.
The remains were laid to

the STATE CONG IS
sIRoHe FOR coRn
hOes q North Dakota are Nearly oil
BelRg FED On coSn Grown In
The State

A great deal of corn is being
hogged down in North Dakota,
and especially in the counties
where the county representa-
tives are at work. They induc-
ed many farmers to try it last
year with surprisingly good re-
suits. Mr.. O. ID. Center, who
is county agent in Grand Forks
comfy, found that several
farmers secured as much as $40
per acre for corn that was hog
ged down, and at the same
time the land was put in the
very best of condition for a
crop next year. Mr.. Center al
so called attention to the fact
that is about twice as much
as is received from wheat from
an acre. taking a ten-year aver
age. This means that the acre
of corn hogged down is as good
AS two acres of wheat. as far as
the gross return goes. There
is more cash OUTLAY in the two
acres in wheat and the wheat
does not put the land in better
shape for next years crop as
does corn, and especially when
it is hogged down.
Mr.. Center gives the follow
ing case which is typical Of
what can be done: On Sept.
10. twenty pigs, farrowed the
fall of 1912 and weighing $500
lbs. and ~ spring pigs weigh
ling 1880. were turned into
eight acred of Rustler White
Dent Corn. They were fed a
slop made of ground barley and
wheat screenings once a day
in addition to the corn, which
they harvested for themselves.
Nv Oct. 13 they had eaten up
the corn. The fall pigs then
weighed 4,OOO pounds and the
spring pigs 2,l7O. The average
daily gain for the fall pigs was
a little over two pounds a day.
while the spring pigs gained
one and two-thirds pounds a
day. making a total gain of
1850 pounds. The pigs were
sold at 81. 80, which make 1852.
"a for the total gain. Deduct
ing from this the cost of the
feed and the labor at % cents
an hour, leaves $l52.24, or $40.
O3 per acre for the corn. Mr..
Center does not include the
improvement to the land re-
sulting from the cultivation Of
the corn and fertilizing by the
hogs. This will be a few dol
lars at least.
( This idea of hogging down the
corn is one that needs to be put
into practice quite extensively.
There is no good reason why.
corn should be husked and
; carried to the hogs. 1t has
been found that the hogs make
better gains from the corn
when they gather it thenselv-
es. This not only cuts out the
cost of huskine but it also cuts
out the labor of throwing the
corn out to the pigs. This is
one of the best labor saving
schemes that has been worked
out on the farm. In order to
get the hogs into the corn field
early the first field should be
sqvaw corn. The hogs can be
let into this as early as the
middle of August. In this
wav thev can be let into corn
two or three weeks before the
larger varieties are ready.
Note. too, that the results
Just gives were secured in
Grand Forks county, which is
north of of the center Of the
state.
