Here is a little North Dakota
story in which aNorwich farm
er, Herman Kunkle, tells what
sixty-five busy hens did for
him. He kept a correct record
of his little flock of poultry and
found that his hens laid just
$50 dozen eggs in the twelve
months, which brought him
exactly $187.5O. 1t seems like
it would keep a flock of hens
mighty busy to lay 5000 eggs in
a year. but take a pencil and a
piece of paper and you will see
that this is an average of only
lOS eggs to each hen. They
might be made to do even
better than that. The eggs
brought a good price, most of
them being sold at 35 and 40
cents a dozen. Each hen pro-
duced So worth of eggs, or
about four times her own va
lue. Think what a record Mr..
kunkle could have reported
had he had say 5OO'hens, which
would be entirely possible. He
keeps the Plymouth Rock
breed, but there are others
equally as good. A good warm
poultry house is necessary and
a variety of feed such as speltz,
ground barley, boiled potatoes,
cabbage, etc. Mr.. Kunkle is a
renter. His chickens and three
cows pay the grocery bills, bu y
the clothing and pay the other
household expenses. Mr.. Kun
kle admitted that he had sold
eggs to some of his farmer
neighbors this winter. r.--Ward

THE IDLE RICH.

The human scrap pile for
which we have to pay Is clut-
tered up, not alone with the pau
pers and the down and outs, but
with the idle rich, who sit around
luxurious hotels and watering
places with nothing to do but
overeat and sleep. l was as
founded by the waste Of human
energy at the county institu-
tions, but l am appalled, when ]
think Of that far greater waste
OF energy among those whose
wants have been provided for
and who have nothing to do but
dress for dinner. We have 1850
persons sitting with folded hands
in our county institutions, con-
tent because their wants have
been provided for. l could not
help thinking Of our wealthy
outcasts In this connection. They
are really beyond the pale Of
human effort, for they are do
ing nothing that is Of good to
anybody, not even to themselves.
The idle wealthy are going on
the scrap pile voluntarily. They
are not only useless. but harm
full. Somebody ought to wake
them up and make them think.
And this waste can be found
at most any fashionable resort
east and west. II We had q lit
tie help from those who can give
help It might solve . lot Of prob
lens that put the poor wards Of
the county where thsy are.-

Next week brings to a, close
the second term of school at
the school of Forestry. This
has been the most successfut
term in the history of the
school. The enrolment has
reached l2O. an increase Of go
per cent over last year. The
prospects for the spring term
are better than in former years
but the actual enrolment will
he diminished by the fact that
many of the boys will drop out
for spring work. The School
Of Forestry differs from the
average school in that there
are more boys in attendanC.
than there are girls. In this
way the school is of particular
service to the community. In
the average normal or college
the girls outnumber the boys
three to one.
Applications for free trees
are coming in at present time
in large numbers. They aver
age about 100 a week. .
The lecture by DR.. Geo. w.

plaintiff by default.
The State Bank of Maxbass
vs. ]. D. Gruber Co. ct al, was
a consolidate case in which the
interest of the defendant eleva-
tor Co. and ]. A. Whitemore as
intervenor was merged. The
question involved was one of
previously lien on a certain
crop of wheat raised in 1912 by
Mr.. Whitemore's 9 tenant. under
one of the usual form contracts.
The tenant mortgaged his half
of the crop to the State Bank
of MaxbQss. hat the contract
speciAed that the ownership Of
the crop should, remain in the
name :.of Whitemore until a
final settlement was had be-
tween landlord and tenants.
No such settlement was ever
had and when the bank tried
to foreclose it's mortgage the
landlord intervened. The court
directed verdict in favor of
Mr.. Whitemore on the ground
that his lien was superior to
that Of the bank. The elevator
companies were defendants to
the extent of having bought
the grain in question. They
were both awarded judgments
for costs.

NATURAL ELECTRICITY.
Tapping the Air For Il a Problem
That Battles Science.


That Battles Science.
In answering the question. us the
prophecy that went the rounds about
twenty years ago that some way Of
tapping nature and thus securing un-
limited supplies Of electricity from air
or from space coming true?" Edgar
Luclen Larkln IN the New York Aueri-
can says:
The nearest approach to the great
work Of tapping natures unlimited
store Of electricity Is the act allowing
irrigatlng streams from high noun
tains to turn turbine generators over
and over again 10 different power
plants along down the sides Of the
mountains and then after securing all
mechanical work Of gravitation secure
growing work in the growth Of food
plants This is the height at present
Of human skill I'm the work Of tapping

other way Of tapping. And the cap

Another way Of tapping Is TO allow

What my friend evidently wants Is

electricians Since nothing exists but
electrors. and these are electricity, It
does seem that we ought to get all we
