BILE increase over 1913. No other statistics
could show as conclusively the growing import
ance Of the hog raising industry in this county.
In addition to the foregoing statistics, it should
be remembered that the local market was amply
supplied.
Almost every we'll known breed of hogs is
represented in Bottineau County, and the farm
ers realize that pure bred hogs are as import
ant as pure bred cattle and horses, as they do
not only produce a finer grade of meat, but
they command a better price on the market.
There are any number of breeders of pure bred
hogs in this county, so that it is not necessary
to bring this kind of stock with you unless you
so desire.
In a recent state wide pork production con-
test, a boy residing in Bottineau County won
the state prize of 500 over all competitors, in
addition to other prizes offered by breeders, by
producing 1908 pounds, from one litter of pigs
in 2O3 days at a cost of $2.86 per hundred pounds
of pork. The County Commissioner of this
county are alive to the Importance of pork pro-
duction, and are doing all in their power to
promote the universal raising of hogs in the
county.

regard, the better farming agents are doinp q
wonderfully useful work.
The new farmer, interested in hog raising.
can get all the desired information relative to
the local conditions, as to the value of the vari-
Gus feeds grown, from the better farming az
ents, of which there are two in the county.
Horses will always be necessary upon the
farms of the county. Several years ago 4
wave swept over this county favoring the gas
tractors as a means Of supplanting the horse
on the larger farms, but after a trial of those
the farmers are gradually but surely
gong back to horse power, and the farmers Of
Bottineau County are not behind the process
ion in this regard.
With the settling up of the homestead
country in the states west of us several years
ago, horse flesh rose in price, and there was al
most a scarcity of these animals in North d.
sofa, but for the past few years the demand has
not been so great, and as a consequence the
prices are more normal, and by careful breed
ing the quality has been improved.
We have in this county all the standard
breeds of draft horses, and a number of our far
mers are making a speciality of certain breeds,
SO that it will not be necessary to bring to North
Dakota at this time, any horses unless you
to, for you can secure the best of founda-
ton stock here at right prices.
The last United States census gave Botti-
neau County 1927 horses, valued at $4,000, 900.
the present time there is a considerably lar
ger number of horses in the county.
Driving stock has not been neglected in

Alfalfa and Corn Staple Crops

nothing of Wisconsin and Michigan, but these
states have been in the cora belt for years now.
and that grain is counted one of their chief as
sets.
Do not get the mistaken idea that the corn
in Bottineau County is only good for silage and
not of value as a grain, for yields of from forty
to sixty bushels are not uncommon, while with
proper care instances can be cited where ninety
five bushels per acre have been grown.
For the last few years the farmers of Bot
tineau County have been raising their own seed
corn and breeding it up to quality, so that now
a large proportion of the seed corn used here
was raised in the county, and consequently &C.
climated. Early varieties have been developed
and several of these have been known to mature
as early as the 9th of August. In various parts
of the county the homeseeker will find soil that
is particularly fitted for the growing of corn,
soil that is the same as that which raised the bum
per crops of such corn states as Illinois, Iowa,

sible for them to proceed westward. Indian re-
cords show that long before that time corn was
one OF the staple products of North Dakota, then
a little known region. But when the white man
came to this part of the world he did not want
to grow corn, but preferred the crops that took
less care and labor, so the corn was neglected
Tor the wheat and flax. But of late years an
earnest band of farmers have worked to the end
that North Dakota come to it's own as a corn
state, and now it can be truthfuliy said that this
state is in the corn belt. It should be recalled
that within the memory of those now living here,
it was considered impossible to raise corn in
northern Iowa, and southern Minnesota, to saw

HOGS

Pork production is a necessary adjunct to
stock raising, so much so that the farmer who
raises cattle is almost forced to take up hog rails
ing. This industry is proving immensely profit
able in this county from the fact that hog chol-
era has never been known here, and other dis
eases prevalent in the older states are a minus
quantity.
An indication that our farmers are wax
ing up to the possibilities of hog raising, is am
ply proven by the fact that on the three branch
lines of the Great Northern railway traversing
County, there were shipped in 1912
eighteen car loads of hogs to the St Paul mar
kets. In 1913, this number was increased to
ninety six car loads. and 1914 saw a considera-

Immediately set about to profit by raising cattle
in larger quantities, until today almost every
farmer in the county has stock to sell in addition
to his other farm produce, thus adding a large
revenue for the county as a whole.
There are several breeders of high class pure
bred cattle in the county and the number is rap
idly increasing, for those who are going into live
stock realize the Importance of pure bred cattle.
Nearly all the leading breeds are represented
here but the prospective settler should not be dis
couraged from bringing more, for there is a ready
market in this county. This statement relates
equally as we'll to horses, hogs and poultry.
The last census gave Bottineau County a to-
tai of 1928 head of cattle, valued at 1851 1882,
but it is safe to say that at the present time there
is treble this number of cattle here, at a cores
ponding valuation.
The stock raiser will naturally be interested
in the matter of water supply. This we have in
abundance, from the fact that not only the Mouse
River flows through the county, but there are

various streams and small lakes scattered about,
and from the further fact that excellent water
can be secured in wells at various depths. In
various parts of the county can be found flowing
wells, while in the vicinity of the Turtle Mount
aims soft water springs are plentiful.
AS an indication of the activity in the stock
raising line, it. might be pointed out that all the
railroads traversing the county are charging
their stock yards and improving their shipping
facilities.

For several years the farmers of this county
have taken a great interest in alfalfa, and under
the directions of the county agricultural agents
hundreds of fields of this great forage crop have
been started, and the results have really been a.
mazing. 1t seems that the soil of this county is
just the right mixture to grow this great crop,
and the climatic conditions contribute to it's sue

CORN

1t may seem strangeto the man coming from
the eastern states to think that this section of
the country is a corn country. But when the
truth is known the element of wonder will van
ish. When the Lewis and Clark expedition pass
ed through North Dakota in the early part of the
last century, they secured supplies of corn from
the Indians of the western part of this state,
and this corn was a large factor in making it pos-

cess. The interest in the raising of livestock,
both for the market and for dairy purposes, re-
vived about the time that it was found that al
falfa could be grown here, from the fact that it
is known positively that alfalfa is one of the very
best fat and milk producing feeds there is today,
and the farmers felt safe to go into stock upon a
larger scale than ever before. When it is known
too, that five acres of alfalfa will fatten a car
load of hogs up to two or three weeks before they
are placed on the market, makes the raising Of
hogs a g~iltedged paying investment, and nearly all
of our people have hogs on their farms.
Several varieties of alfalfa are being grown
here, among which is the Grimm, several Siberian

varieties and South Dakota. A number of our
farmers will have upwards of 100 acres of this
crop in the coming year. Bottineau County al
falfa seed is bound to command a high price on
the market, and several of our farmers disposed
of seed this year at a good price right here at
home.

The 1910 census brought home to the people
of the Northwest the desirability of raising more
cattle, for the census showed that the production
of livestock has decreased during the ten years
from 1900 to 1910, while the population of the
United States has increased by leaps and bounds.
The farmers of Bottineau County were quick to
realize the Importance of this information, and

lose "BABY" KEGS
Brewers There Object TO
Delivering Less Than
Quarter Barrel
LITTLE CASKS
ARE TOO EXPENSIVE

BALTIMORE. Nd. April 5.-There
is weeping and wailing and gnashing
of teeth among some of the beer
drinkers Of Baltimore who have for
years been accustomed to indGlging
in their favorite brews drawn direct
from the baby" kegs delivered to
their homes by the breweries.
It is not unlikely that the little kog,
which holds slightly less than four
gallons, will be delivered no more.
and in the future those who want
beer at all will either have to pur-
chase the bottle kind or will have to
be satisfied with the one-quarter kegs.
The 'One-eighth" keg has long been
a favorite in the homes of beer drink
ers. Some of these kegs were never
returned, end the loss of these kegs
has made It so expensive to deliver
beer in this manner that the brew
cries have about determined to elm
mate such deliveries altogether.
So far no definite action has been
taken. but the matter has been up for
discussion, and a brewery official
stated yesterday that, much as they
regretted to deprive beer consumers
OF the "baby" keg, the breweries
would most likely do away with such
deliveries.
Il would be hard to remember
when the little kegs first began tc
be used. one Of them provided enough
beer for an ordinary family. II was
cheaper to purchase in the zone
eighth" kegs than in any other way
II was seldom that second keg haC
to be delivered in order to quenoh tn,
thirst of the family But even IL the
home people bought "a quarter of ;
barrel, the delivery being two zone
eighth" barrels, and only one kel
was tapped. the other small keg coul,
be returned TO the brewery. But /
| this keg is done away with, hom'
consumers will. in all probability, b.
called upon TO purchase quarter o
