PREVENT BAD TRICK OF cow
Arrange Girth Strap Through Rings
So She Cannot Suck Herself-Use
Good Strong Halter.

To prevent a cow from sucking her
self. put ON a good strong halter and a
strong strap around her body. Fasten
rings in the girth strap. one on each
side about level with the side rings on
the halter. From these rings to the
side rings place two other straps just
long enough that the COW can turn her
head from side TO side, but cannot get
il back far enough to suck.
The girth strap should not be too
tight Ii is better TO leave il quite
loose and place some small weight on
il underneath the cow so the strap
will not slip out of place.

Coal Deposits
Are Enormous

To grasp the magnitude Of North
Dakota's vast fuel supply it is neces.
sary that we reduce terms of billions
to something more tangible to the
human mind. The United States &C.
illogical survey estimates that there
are within the state, in beds three
feet or more thick, and within l.
900 feet Of the surface, 700,000,000
tons of Ignite. If this fuel could be
compressed into one block, it would
form cube five miles high, five
miles broad and five miles long, cov-
ering nearly a township of land and
reaching almost the altitude of the
highest mountain on the globe.
Another writer, in making compar-
alive estimate, states that if North
Dakota's coal we're valued at $1.O0 per
ton, the aggregate would be equal to
the assessed valuation of the whole
United States. Or, again, assuming
that the present population of the
United States is 100,000,00O and allow
ing ten tons of coal per year, per cap
tia, North Dakota has sufficient fuel to
provide for the needs of this great peo-
pie for the next 200 years.
THE Ignite Of North Dakota"
says the United States geological
survey, in recent report, CONSTITUTES
a vast fuel resource which will in time
become great value, not only to the
individual citizen of the state, but to
the corporations that are seeking pow
er for use in manufacturing, or in
transportation"
Ignite is delivered to the consum-
er at $500 to $500 per ton, depend
ing upon the distance from the mine
Bismarck on the edge Of the great
coal fields, uses this fuel almost ex-
clusively for domestic heating. The
Hughes Electric Co., supplying the
city, uses no other fuel in the
generation of its current. That lig-
mite can be used economically and
effectively is indicated by the fact
that this company, the largest in
America using Ignite, exclusively,
sells power for domestic, commercial
and industrial use at lower rates than
given by majority of the plants
which have the benefit of cheap water
power.
At the large brick and tile plants
in Hebron and Dickinson, Ignite is
used altogether for firing. At the
North Dakota state penitentiary lig-
mite has replaced all other Goals.
