Horses for war purposes are
evidently in demand in Canada.
The Canadian government has
issued an order prohibiting the
exporting from Canada of any
horses whatever. Settlers who
have been forced to leave the
Canadian Northwest this fall
on account of successive crop
failure find to their surprise on
reaching the line that they are
not allowed to bring their
horses into the United States.
Inquiry to the collector of Gus
toms in Emerson, just across
the Manitoba line from Penn
bina, brings the information
that under the existing order a
farmer from Pembina county
who drives his w horses a.
the international line for
few hours stay will not be al,
lowed to bring it back with him.
This is war indeed. and is com.
ing rather close. Walsh Coun

Liburn L. Stair was born in
the state of Virginia in the
year 1872. He spent his youth
and early manhood on his
fathers farm in the"Old Domi-
Mon.
Mr.. Stair came to North Da-
kota in 1889, locating at Botti-
neau where he spent the first
two years of his residence in
this county, after which he re-
moved to his farm near New.
burg where he has since resid-
ed. AS a farmer Mr.. Stair has
proved himself an eminent sue
cess, developing one of the
finest homesteads in the coun-
ty. He is a man possessing
the most progressive ideas in
practical farming and his farm
shows the adoption of many
modern ideas. Mr.. Stair is not
only progressive in practical
farming but he has devoted
much thought and study to
rural economics. He early saw
the unequal and unfair position
in which the farmer has been
forced and has applied his
great energy in trying to device
some means whereby the con-
dition of the farmer might be
improved. AS a result of his
study he has become an out.
spoken advocate of co-opera.
tons among the producers, and
as a means of reaching the de.
sired ends at the earliest posi-
BILE moment he has become an
active working member of the
so-called Society of Equity, and
is pushing with all his might
the teachings and reforms OF
this great band of farmers.
Through this organization
the producer will be able tt
deliver the product of his farm
to the open market.
At the June primary Mr..
Stair was nominated as the
candidate of the democratic
party for the Office of senator
from Bottineau county. The
people are to be congratulated

QUARANTINE FOUR
FARMS IN .PREBLE

EATON, O., Nov. 27.-Four Preble
county farms, upon which cattle sus-
pected to be infected with hoOf and
mouth disease are held, have been
placed under quarantine by State and
Federal authorities. One of these
farms is owned by George G. Sauer,
whose $4,000 herd of cattle was
slaughtered a few days ago. The other
farms are in the same neighborhood,
and the infection is thought to have
been contracted from cattle Sauers
purchased in Chicago.
Charles Mountcastle has one COW
and 20 head of hogs; Mrs. Melissa
Wolf owns head of cattle and 20
hogs; and Charles James has head
Of cattle and Is hogs. In these herds
the disease has appeared, and authori-
ties probably will arrange for an early
slaughter of the animals held at each
place.
Aside from the big herd killed at
the Sauers home, authorities are ar
arnging to kill twenty head Of cattle
which he has had on pasture upon an
other of his farms south of the home
place.

seconds. This information was con-
