SIMPLE WAY OF FATTENINe
Place Chickens In Slated Crate With
Feed Trough In Front-Mesh
Wire Makes Best Floor.

The simplest way of fattening
chickens is to place them in a fatten-
Ing crate. The crate should be six
feet long, 16 inches wide and IS inches
high. The bottom, back and top are
Slated lengthwise, and in front the
Stats are placed on the upright. On
the bottom they are an inch and q
quarter apart. and on the back, top
and front two inches apart. The Stats
IRE seven.eighths of an inch wide, and
dve-etghths Of an inch thick. The crate
Is divided into three compartments,
and each one opens up separately by
hinged top.
A trough for feed is placed on strips
10 front. The crate is strengthened by
having Stats three-quarters of an inch
thick and an inch and half wide in
each corner OF the crate, running
lengthwise. The ends and the parti.
ton can also be made of solid wood
IN order to strengthen the crate.
Ordinary inch mesh wire nailed to
the bottom Of the crate will answer
the purpose Of a floor better than q
Slated bottom, as there will be less
accumulation Of droppings, therefore
making the crate more sanitary.

CONGRESSIONAL VOTE SUR
PRISE.

The widespread effect OF the recen.
impressive vote in the House of Rep
resentatives on the Hobson House
joint prohibition resolution is daily
becoming more manifest. No class
of men is being more seriously i'm
pressed with the fact that nationwide
prohibition is vital question which
will remain before Congress until fin
ally disposed of favorably than those
members of the lower house who fail
ed to vote in the affirmative on the
Hobson measure.
Information from every State in
the Union is to the effect that the
vote which gave prohibition a ma
jority in the House on the first test
in that body has set people to think
ing who had not before given nation
wide prohibition serious considera-
ton. To many it had never occurred
that the first straight-out prohibition
proposition every submitted to Con-
gress could, within little more than
year from the time of it's introduce
ton poll more than majority of
these voting on the measure; that it
would rally a support which would
have been more than sufficient to
put on the Federal statute books
laws of the conceded Importance Of
the tariff bill the trade commission
the reserve bank or the tolls repeal
acts.
As a result, this question is being
asked
Gould any highly important
measure such as the tariff bill, the
trade commission, the tolls repeal or
the reserve bank act have secured
majority of the votes Of the House
of Representative if opposed by the
the Secretary of State,
the majority and the minority lead
ers, and many others welding great
power on the foor?"
The only reasonable and logical
conclusion to be reached, say the
friends of temperance is that the
prohibition amendment must have
had behind it a moral force of con-
ceded and exceptional strength to
have made it possible under the cir
cumstances to secure vote which
no other one big question of today
could possibly have commanded.

WHAT OTHERS THINK.

Grafton Record Just at present it
seems to be the fashion in North Da-
kota to talk about the extravaganza OF
our educational system and especially
our institutions of higher education.
While we believe that there are too
many institutions doing the same
kind of work, and therefore causing
a real financial loss, we have no pa
thence with the efforts of number Of
politicians to hamper the usefulness of
our state university and agricultural
college. These institutions, together
with the normal schools at Valley
City, Mayville and Minot, are entitled
to liberal treatment at the hands of
the legislature. No state can grow
great where ignorance abounds. The,
cost of education may be great, but
the maintenance of our penal institu--
tons is an absolute economic waste,
largely due to ignorance and the vice
which ignorance breeds. In our de-
sire to economic let us be fair in deal
ing with our educational system.

is THERE A CHANGING CLIMATE?

This winter has been cold at times,
extremely so, but not such weather as
to cause stock to suffer, and there
have been but few days when the
wind was at all strong. The time was
when the Northwest was supposed to
be a bowling prairie where people
dared not leave their homes during
the winter months, and those in the
east even described the lines connect
ing the barns and houses, by which
the farmers were able to locate their
buildings and also stories are yet to- !
of the buildings being buried out Of
sight under snow. If these stories
were ever true they are certainly not
true of the last few years, as the
weather has been even better than in
the eastern states and the past several
years have been absolutely free of any
bad billiards., and bad winters here
are only memory. This winter has
been so fair and pleasant that stock
has run out all winter and are doing
splendidly, proving that this climate,
after all, is particularly adapted to
stock raising and that the seasons are
favorable to the greatest enjoyment OF
the largest number of months in the
year of any state in the union.
