The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1914-03-05

Here is little North Dakota story
In which q Norwich farmer, Herman
Kunkle, tells what IS busy hens did
for him. He kept correct record of
his little flock of poultry and found
that his hens laid just ESQ dozen eggs
in the twelve months, which brought
him exactly SlS7.60. 1t seems like it
would keep flock of hens mighty
busy to lay 5000 eggs in year, but
take a pencil and a piece of paper and
you will see that this is an average Of
only 10s 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 IS and 40 cents
a dozen. Each hen produced So worth
of eggs, or about four times her own
value. Think what record Mr.. Kun
kle could have reported had he had
say 500 hens, which would be entirely
possible. He keeps the Plymouth
Rock breed, but there are others
equally as good. A good warm poul-
try house is necessary and variety
of feed such as speltz, ground barley,
boiled potatoes, cabbage, etc. Mr..
Kunkle is renter. His chickens and
three cows pay the grocery bills, buy
the clothing and pay the other house
hold expenses. Mr.. Kunkle admitted
that he had sold eggs to some Of his
farmer neighbors this winter.

his fine line Of groceries, while wheat
was selling at $1.07 per bushel. That

son told the House Of Representatives

William Collins, implement dealer
in Minot, told the voters of Ward
county that he would like to serve
them as Register Of Deeds. We had
to look twice at that name in order to
recognize the man of whom we had
always heard as Billy" The papers
of that day speak of him as genial
and courteous.
Sheriff Tracy of Ward county was
arrested because he did not place
somebody in jail according to the or
der in the commitment. Tracy plead
ed his own case and won; which fact,
his friends asserted, raised his stock
as sheriff at least fifty per cent.
Sheriff Tracy went to California
but his widowed mother was living at
Burlington in the early '90s. She was
q war-widow. that is, wife during
the Civil war, and was still . fine, per-
sonable woman forty years after it.

A meeting Of the sportsmen Of this
section of the state will soon be called
at Minot by E. B. McCutcheon, chief
game warden for the district. Mr.. Nc
Cutcheon, who has done some excel
lent work in seeing that the game
laws were respected, has relied on the
true sportsmen for assistance and
they have given it to him. Our game
laws should be changed, however, in
several particulars and at the Minot
meeting such recommendations will be
made, for the consideration Of the
next legislature.

The residence of J. Walter Ire
land, 60 Delaware Avenue, was
damaged to some extent by fire yes
terday shortly after noon. An over
heated stove had set fire to the
woodwork back of it and the flames
ran up to the attic. The Columbia,
Union, Fleetwing and Hibernla
Fire Companies were soon on the
scene, and four chemical streams
were used. 1t was necessary to
chop holes in the attic floor, and
in the walls upstairs to reach the
fire, which burned pretty lively for
little while. The building was of
frame, and but for the prompt
work of the fireman would have
been enveloped in flames.

If Skin Breaks Out and ItChes
 Apply Sulphur
USE IT LIKE A COLD CREAM AND
 DRY ECZEMA ERuPTloNS
 RIGHT UP.

The moment you apply bold-sulphur to an itching or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a renowned dermatologist-
 This remarkable sulphur made into a thick cream effects such prompt re- lief even in aggravated Eczema. that it is a neyer-ending source Of amaze ment to physicians
 For many years bold-suphur has occupied a secure position in the treat ment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of its cooling, site-destroying properties and nothing has ever been found to take its place in relieving ir- ritable and infiammatory affections Of the skin. While not always establish ing a permanent cure, yet in every instance it immediately subdues the itching irritation and heals the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again manifests itself
 Any good pharmacist will supply an ounce of bold sulphur cream, which should be applied to the affected parts like the ordinary cold creams It lsn | unpleasant and the prompt relleI ar forded is very welcome, particuiariy when the Eczema is accompanied with tOrturouS itching.

THREE PURCHASES MADE
 BY GEORGE w. CARROLL.
Is to Offer One to United Workers for
 the SheIterin Arms.

Three real estate purchases by George w. Carroll were announced on Tuesday One was the Washington street residence property of the late Dr. Leonard B. Amy and another was the former Otis street residence of the late Rev. George A. Bryan. This was purchased from Amos A. Browning and Miss Sarah A. Browning. The third was the waterfront property at Thamesyille formerly occupied by the Thames Iron works. It is 25O feet square and has no buildings on it. This is purchased from Mrs. M. H. c. Mitchell for investment purposes and is a fine location for a manufacturing plant.
 MT. Carroll proposes to offer the Amy property to the United Workers to be used as a home for the Shelter ing Arms, making the price at which he would sell it to them $20,00O, and the terms such that it would require but a S7,OG0 cash payment to acquire the property.
 Included with the offer is a contribu- tion of $5,000 from MT. Carroll, $1,000 from Mrs. Carroll. and the turning over of a s7,0O0 mortgage at per cent. interest on the property.
 The plot is fS9 feet front, 206 feet rear and $50 feet deep, with buildings on it that could be admirably adapted for the uses of the Sheltering. Asns, whose present building at NorwNh Town is inadequate.
