Mr.. j. j. Hill, the great empire

bought fifty fine dua! purpose
shorthorn bulls in northern Eng
land which he is now distributing
to the farmers of this section Of
our country for breeding pur-
poses. giving one each to such
farmers as he selects in as many
dierent parts Of the country. The
Ford farm was DESIGNATED by him
as the place one should be left in
southeastern North Dakota. and
it was brought here Tuesday af-
ternOOn. ~
Forty or more of these fine an
imals occupied the express cars
that composed 9 special train ov-
er the G. N. and Mr.. Ford was gil
ven his choice Of the entire lot. He
selected a MAGNIFICENT dark red
animal. which he took to his
farm. and the rest were taken fur
ther on to be distributed as fol-
lows: One each at New Rockford.

lmals cost $1,150. apiece in Eng
land and Mr.. Hills gift is, there
fore most generous one,
as they are absolutely given away
by him. the only stipulation being
that the neighbOrs are to have the
benefit Of the animals services,
and that nobody shall be charged
in q larger sum tnan 50.
These animals are dual pur-
pose cattle. being excellent for
both the dairy and for beef. Some
idea of their milk giving qualities
may he had from the fact that the
dam of some Of these young bulls
has a record of $4,000 pounds of
milk in II months and 3 DAYS.
They also stand very high as beef

Ayershires. which Mr.. Hill is Civ

The following story is told of
the way the Ford. farm came to be
selected as one of the farms that
should have one of these fine inn
ported cattle. Mr.. Ford called on
Mr.. Hill when in st. Paul, not
long since. to show him some
SAMPLES of corn, raised on this
farm. Mr.. Hill was so delighted
with the corn that he Immediate
ly said that farm that could
produce such corn as that in
North Dakota should have one Of
his imported cattle to feed it to,
and he remembered his promise.

SIX AMENDMENTS ADOPTED

oM amendments that were sub
mitted to the electorate at the
election last week were adopted,
as indicated by the scattering re-
turns available. Only one amenda
ment-woman suffrage-failed.
The most important of the new
laws are the initiative ana refer
endum acts. One applies to the
constitution and the other to leg
islative enactments. The one
made applicable to statutes only
seems to have the heaviest vote,
as there was some opposition
from the prohibition forces to the
referendum applicable to the con-
stitution.
State aid for highways is pro-
vided in another of the constitu-
tional amendments adopted. The
establishment of terminal eleva-
tors within the state is provided
in still another.
The classification of property
for taxation purposes, and the
changing of the name of the asy-
lum for the blind at Bathgate,
are provided in the other amend
ments.
