 NEW OFFICIALS
Scott, Graham, Ames and Ganty Hold. overs-Heckey Gets Night Job, Frame
 Gets PIun,-Double.eros Charged.

The new city council of Valdez was
 sworn in last night and completed | the organization of the city govern ment as planned by them at caucus held last Saturday night. F. M. Boyle
 was elected mayor for the next year.
 All the balloting was open, no secret
 ballot being taken upon any of the elective offices
 Willard Scott, who has been chief
 of police of Valdez for many years,
 was reappointed and the duties of health officer was added to that of lis
 present work His salary will be, as heretofore, $150 a month. Scott received the vote of all seven coun-
 cilmen.
 John S. Hockey, brother of Coun-
 cilman Ross Hockey, was elected
 nightwatchman. Ray Larson, the
 present nightwatchman, was an ap- plicant, but failed to secure enough
 support. Councilman Ethical, mind. full of the pledges prior to election
 that the city practice some economy,
 moved that the position be abolish ed and he was supported by Coun-
 cilmen Wood, and Thomas, but the
 majority, Boyle, Won Gunther, Hockey and King, voted the motion down.
 The same four voted for Hockey for
 the position.
 In spite of the fact that three of
 the four councilmen constituting the
 majority are reported to have pledged
 themselves to elect William Meals clerk of the council, and had &C.,
 cepted aid from him and his friends in the recent election with that un- derstanding, he was not given a vote
 by any of them and received the
 three votes of the minority, while
 John Frame was elected clerk by Boyle, Won Gunther, Hockey and King. The salary was made $35.0O and the duties of police magistrate were add
 ed to those of the clerk and Frame acts in both capacities.
 L. Graham, the present fire eng'' neer, received the vote of the seven councilmen, although B. Durham was an applicant and desired the position. E. G. Ames was reelected town treasurer at salary of $35.O0 per month.
 Judge Charles Ganty, who has been city attorney and police magistrate for several years, was reelected city attorney. He will not, however, act as police magistrate.
 The council also changed the meet ing night from Monday to Tuesday
 for the convenience of the members of the council.
 The election of Charles Ganty came as surprise to many as it was re- ported that Ganty was to be double crossed for o. P. Hubbard, formerly of Nome. The majority. however, feared the Socialist vote and Ganty succeeded in retaining his position as
 city attorney.

One Of these feeds is always kept in the
rack. The calves are fed oats as o.
as they will eat any grain and get all
the milk from their mothers. In the
fall l give them Il mixture Of half corn
chop and half oats by bulk.
I believe beef production is q safe
undertaking and that Il mar could
start in now and make good at it on
Iowa land. II 1 man wants to pro-
duce only beef cattle for market. then
good grade COWS of a beef type and a
pure bred sire would be all right. l
would emphasize that the COWS must
be of the beef type. However, if pure
bred cowsaare kept there is always a
good demand for the young stock at
a price considerably over the beef
price. The increase in price, however,
large or small, is practically net profit,
since a pure bred calf takes no more
feed or care than Il grade and gives a
good deal more satisfaction.

PaSturinq Work Horses,

1t will be found as a rule that horses
at hard work had best be kept off pas
ture. The Woodworking horse cannot
be expected to secure any considerable
portion of his food by grazing. 1t is a
good plan. however, to let work horses
have the run of a good pasture on Sun
day since it gives them a change from
The grass acts as q laxative and a tonic
and tends to keep the horses in better
condition than where they are kept up
and fed the same Sunday as any other
day. All hOrsemen are familiar with
the practice of feeding work horses
warm bran mash once a week. A run
on pasture serves the same purpose.

Provide Water For Sheep.

1t is often said that sheep need no
water when on pasture. Do not listen
to such folly. writes Z. Leslie in the
Iowa Homestead. On very s%ucculent
grass they will live without it and. as
a rule. take but little. They should
always have it. however, to take when
they desire. Like any other animal,
sometimes their systems require more
than at other times. This is especially
true during sucking time. See that
they have it, and of pure quality.
Sheep, above all other animals, should
never drink from stagnant pools.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1915-10-21

LIVE O T

Sheep like a short bite. Do not
let the pasture grow too high be-
fore putting them on it.
The horse with a sloping Shout
der cannot work with any ease
or profit in a collar made for an
upright shoulder.
When water is not present in
the hog pastures. in springs or
creeks, it should be supplied
fresh in troughs each day or two.
The better your sire the better
your lambs, and so the more
money you will get from your
flock next year.
Bring the colts to the stables
during the day while the flies
are so vicious. Put them in the
pastures at night.
The hog house if left open will
supply a cool place for the pigs
to lie in and also protect the
young from heavy storms and
from the hot sun.

Fatteninq Hoqs on ButtermiIk.

Fattening hogs on buttermilk is car
ried III successfully near large cream
cries. A short time ago a Chippewa
Falls (VVis.) stock feeder marketed a
fine lot in Chicago. This stockman
feeds all the time from 800 to 500 hogs,
using the entire output of the butter
milk from the local creamery. He has
put as much AS 100 pounds per head
on thin sows in the course Of thirty
days. In connection with the butter
milk he is in the habit Of feeding sal
wage grains from self feeders, and this
results in rapid gains in weight.-W.

BRED CATTLE
FOR BEEF PRODUCTION

1 figure that each of my twenty
Hereford COWS is making me at least
$50 Il year, writes an Iowa farmer in
doing better than that. l believe l
would still make a profit just from
selling stuff at beef prices regardless
Of the sale of pure bred stock.
My cattle are partly Polled and part
ly Horned Herefords. The COWS are
fed roughage and some grain through
the winter months. They have access
to straw. mixed hay. millet and corn
fodder, which gives them a variety.

Two hundred travelling Psychological

Their main utility will be to insure
the health of the soldiers fighting in

laboratory will analyze the water the
soldiers drink and the ~foodstuffs
brought to them. SO as to insure their
perfect purity. They will also control
the disinfection of the front line
trenches whenever that ia possible.

The most interesting Of the tables is
the one that gives the casualties in the
present war.
'"They are not much more than intel

but l have used minimum figures"

Hereford cattle are good rustlers
and have long been popular for
their grazing qualities. They make
their best beef at an early age.
Because of their early maturing
qualities they are excellent for
the production of baby beef, and
thousands are annually marketed
as such. AS meat producers they
rank high. but as milk producers
are inferior to the other breeds.
They arc sturdy. rugged beasts of
distinctly superior quality. The
steer pictured is a true specimen
Of the Hereford breed.

" NICE the great war in Europe
W started more than 100000 men
AJ have been killed, the wounded
number nearly 100000, while
the total number Of prisoners and Of
the missing is more than 100000.
These are conservative minimum fig
ures compiled from the best available
data and were made public by Briga-
der General Francis Vinton Greene,
war delivered before the members Of
the New York State Historical associ-
alton at West Point.
General Greene is an honor gradu-
ate of West Point of the class Of 1870
and the author Of many standard
works on military history. He gave
his hearers the benefit of what he
called an Intelligent guess" as to the
casualties Of the wal and submitted
q table showing the increase of the
national Indebtedness of the European
belligerents. The increase over 1914
approximately is 100000 ,00O,O 200. How
much Of this is war debt, of course, is
problematical. The combined wealth
Of the allies is estimated at $2O4,000,-
100000, while that of the Teutonic
allies, with Turkey included, is esti-
mated at SOS, O00,000,000.
General Greene also discussed the
changes in the art Of warfare that
have made the great struggle not only
the most frightful, but also the most
interesting, from a military point Of
view, of any war in history. Incl
dentally the speaker indicated what in
his w opinion is required to make
adequate our national defense.
In the present decade he said there
had occurred more important changes
in the art of warfare than in the pre-
years more than in the five preceding
centuries-in other words. since the
first use of gunpowder in warfare.
Changes In Art of Warfare.
What these changes in the art of
warfare mean is learned by Il study Of
the tables of casualties, financial eX-
penditures, etc, compiled by General
Greene. One of these gives the pOpu-
lation. based on official figures. of the
various countries concerned in the war.
These figures are taken from official re-
ports. Summarized, they show that on
the side Of the allies there are in Eu-
rope 2GG,5OO,OOO people as compared
with . 100000 population of the leu
tonic nations and their ally, Turkey.
The colonies of the allies have a popu-
lation Of 472,5O0,0O0 people as COM
pared with 32,S0O,O00 in the colonies
that nov or did belong to Germany,
Austria and Turkey. The total popu-
lation upon which the allies can draw
is 7~39,0OO,00O, as compared with 1885,
100000 who owe allegiance to Emperor
William, Franz Josef and the sultan.
Another table gives the armed
strength of the various ~Delligerents,
the estimates being based on figures to
be found in various standard works.
General Greene describes the figures as
approximate only" but 'probably suf-
ficiently accurate for comparative pur-
poses" This table. which gives both
the army and naval totals of the pow
ers at war, follows:
