A Real Blood Tonic.

At this season Of the year the
blood becomes thin and impov-
erished because of the depress-
ing effects Of the long, hot
days, resulting in paleness and
general weakness.
While there are many forms of
iron for the blood, it is generally
conceded that iron alone is not
sufficient. During many years
of experience as druggists we
have observed many remedies
and we frankly admit that the
formula of

seems best adapted to the needs
of the blood, They not only en-
rich the blood but nourish the
nerves and increase appetite. It
is surprising to see how quickly

Fattening Lambs on FAN
Pasture.


Fattening lambs on fall pas
.ture, in the cornfield or on for
age that would otherwise go tC
waste, is generally profitable be.
cause of the low cost of the
feed. The class of lambs used
are thin Western feeding lambs
which weigh from So to SO
pounds. These lambs can be
purchased in single or double
decked carloads at the stock
yards at Kansas City, st. Joe,
East st. Louis, Illinois, Chicago,
Illinois, and Omaha, Neb. A
single decked car will hold from
$50 to 100 lambs. These lambs
can be purchased through any
of the commission firms Operat-
ing at any of the above named
markets.
With a medium growth Of cow
peas or soybeans in the corn
field, 5 to 6 lambs can be pas
tured to an acre throughout the
fall season. The lambs do not
injure the corn crop. The aver
age gain in a month is about
five pounds a head. Soybeans
and cowpeas should be pastured
off before the hard frosts be-
cause the frosts viii cause the
leaves to drop and the lambs do
not like the hard woody stems.
Fall rye, blue grass, rape, clover
and meadows withstand hard
frosts better than soybeans or
cowpeas.
Lambs coming from the range
country are not accustomed to
the rich suceulent feed found in
most pastures at this season,
hence it is advisable, when the
lambs arrive at the farm to put
them on a short blue grass or
timothy pasture in which an
abundance of clear water is
After being on this
pasture for a few days the
lambs can be gradually put in
the cornfeld or other pastures.
The lambs should be turned into
the new pasture in the late
morning or in the afternoon. At
this time of the day the cow
peas, rape or clover will be dried
and the lambs will not be so
hungry. There is greater dan
ger of Indigestion from wet
clover and rape than from dry.
The lambs can be left in the new
pasture an hour when they
should be returned to the blue
grass pasture. This operation
should be repeated for three or
four days in succession after
which time the lambs can be
left on the new forage.
Feeder lambs are scarce this
year and the prices are averag-
ing higher than they have for a
number of years. During the
first part of August the best
grade Of feeder lambs sold for
$500 per hundred pounds and
all present market conditions in
dictate that there viii not be
enough feeders to supply the
demand.

sponsible under his bond for all their
acts.
The bill provides that the county
assessor before entering on his duties
shall give a bond in the penal sum of
$4,000 and that he shall take the u.s.
ual oath Of Office provided by law.
Real estate and improvements are
to be re-valued by the assessor in the
even numbered years, but any real
estate which becomes liable to be
assessed or re-assessed or any which
shall have escaped taxation shall be
assessed also in the odd numbered
years.
Mr.. Mudgett believes that this bill
will remove the county assessor from
the pressure of politics and will equal
ize the assessment of property in the
various counties. It will not only add
to the revenue of the various taxing
districts, but it will also render the
work of tax collecting much easier.

WILL INTRODUCE BILL
TO CREATE OFFICE OF
COUNTY ASSESSOR

Among the bills to be introduced at
the coming session of the legislature
is one by C. F. Mudgett of this city
which will create the office of county
assessor and will abolish the Office of
district assessor, township assessor,
village assessor and city assessor.
A similar bill was introduced by
Mr.. Mudgett two years ago. 1t pass
ed the senate but was killed in the
house in the last few hours of the
session. The present bill is drawn
so as to avoid the objections raised
two years ago.
This bill, in case 1t becomes a law,
will put North Dakota to the front
with other states. OF the 48 states in
the federal union, % use the county
assessor method. only Is have the
township and five have combination
of the two. In brief, Mr.. Mudgett's
bill contemplates that all the duties
now performed by the various dis
trict, township, village and city as
SCISSORS shall be performed by the new
county assessor.
The bill further provides that the
county assessor shall devote himself
to study of property values both real
and personally within his county and
it clothes him with the power to sub
poena witnesses, to administer oaths
and to require the production of GER
titled copies of any part Of any pub
lie record or document within his
county which may be necessary dur
ing the course of his Investigations.
One of the best features of this bill
is that it provides that the county as
SCISSOR shall be appointed by the state
tax commission with the advice and
consent of the county commissioners.
| 1t is further provided that if the coun.
ty commissioners fail to confirm any
of the first four nominees that the
fifth one shall serve without such
confirmation.
The county assessor is required to
be a resident and freebooter Of the
county in which he is appointed and
to devote all of his time and attention
to the duties of this Office. His term
Twill be for four years and he will be
subject to removal from Office by the
tax commission for misd easance, NAL
feasance or non7feasance in Office; or
! if at any time during his term he
shall cease to be resident of the
county. In case the duties of his office
, do not require his entire time the bill
provides that he shall work in the
Office of the county auditor on the tax
records without extra compensation.
The salary Of the county assessor
| is fixed on sliding scale, ranging
from $1,000 a year in counties having
less than 5000 population, to $1,000 a
year in counties having population
| in excess of 10000. He is also en-
powered by this bill to appoint one
deputy for every 1000 population or
major fraction thereof within the
county. The compensation of the de-
iputy assessors is fixed at four dollars
| a day for the actual time employed
and the county assessor is made re-

Note Regarded AS Friendly
and No Complications OF
a Serious Nature Is Anti
cipated---Little Hope for
Quick Relief.

London, Dec. 31.-The American
Great Britain, protesting against the
action of British Warships in detain'
ing and Selling cargoes in American
vessels, is now under consideration at
the British foreign Office, where no in,
timation is given as to when a reply
to the note may be expected.
Cabinet Officers Confer.
Late today Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign secretary, held a con-
ference at the foreign office with
David Lloyd-George, the chancellor
of the exchequer, Reginald McKinna.
secretary of home affairs, Walter
Runciman, president of the board of
trade, and Sir Francis Hopwood, civil
lord of the admiralty on the subject
of the American note.
Hopeful for Settlement.
A frank discussion of the note by
British officials shows that they re-
gard it as friendly and they do not
believe the differences between Amer
lea and Great Britain are such that
they cannot be reconciled satisfactor-
lily.
Will Go Over Question With Page.
Sir Edward Grey came back from
his holiday vacation to handle the
matter in person.
The note OF the American govern
ment has only just reached the Brit
ish government, and it is likely to &C.
cupy the attention of the ministry for
a long time.
In the meanwhile it is understood
that Walter H. Page, the American
ambassador, will be invited to go over
the entire question with Foreign Sec.
rotary Grey.
Scandinavia's Action Involved.
Much dekends upon tina effective ef-
fort on the part of Denmark, Hol-
land, Norway and Sweden to prevent
the reshipment to Germany ana Aus
tria and Hungary of cargoes received
from the United States. Until water
tight regulations are put in force in
these countries little hope, it is un-
derstood, is held out by the British
government for relaxation in the mat
ter of searching American cargoes.
One prominent British official point
ed out that Italy has effectively
checked contraband shipments to Aus
tria-Hungary and Germany, with the
result that Great Britain is not stop
ping ships destined for Italy unless
there appears special reason to sus-
pect fraudulent consignments.
Says U. S. Must Guarantee Honesty.

as to the honesty of bills of consign-
ment and the enactment of strict reg
ulations for the severe punishment OF
fraud, granting that the American
government could find satisfactory
means of making such a guarantee, is
admitted by this prominent official as
possible step which might cause
relaxation in the search of American
cargoes.
Charges Cotton ConceaIs Contraband.
British officials call attention to tho
lenient attitude adopted by the Brit

regarded as contraband because of it's
extensive use in gun cotton, but
