SOMETHING NEW IN THE POULTRY LINE


The entry of the Pittsfeld people into the poultry
breeding world distinctive departure from the
methods previous to their advent breeding where scien-
tifc methods followed had previously been for
show stock only At the various fairs and poultry
hbitons winning birds could always be sold for fabulous
prices. They WERE however, always judged their
looks and there had been incentive breed for pro-
ductve qualities either in the egg poultry line. Early
in the game the Pittsfed people decided there
opening for birds that while showing true type should
be bred with the purpose of heavy laying and early
turty; in fact Ptsed poultry from the start has been
bred to produce profits rather than to win prizes in the
show ring In this they have been wonderfully

CAUSE FOR LOSS OF PIGS.

One of the principal reasons for the
loss of spring pigs at this time, as we'll
as any other, according to the Grand
Forks County Better Farming asso-
citation station arises from the fact
that the brood SOW has been stuffed
and fatted with heavy corn ration.
The sow becomes lazy and does not
take exercise, an important thing for
keeping an animal in healthy condi-
ton. The ration should be limited en-
ough to keep the appetite keen. The
feeding floors should be at some dis
lance from the sleeping quarters in
order to induce exercise
A ration Of corn or ground barley,
seven parts, and oil meal one part, or
corn and ground barley nine parts to
, one of tankage will give satisfactory
results, if fed in limited amounts.
Good alfalfa hay should be provided in
such way that the sows can have &C.
cess to it at all times.

EXPERT DISPLAYS AN
ASTONISHING IGNORANCE

Wimbledon News: The new cream
cry project, which Fad been making
healthy growth the past few weeks,
suffered slight frost at the farmers
meeting last Saturday, and as con-
sequence may not blossom into ma
turity early this summer as had been
expected. In fact it may take another
year before the creamery becomes a
reality.
The frost came in the nature of a
talk by F. w. Meddill, extension agent
in the dairy department of the DeLaval
Separator Co. 1t was expected that
he would support the views of State
Dairy Commissioner Peter Miller who
addressed the farmers here about a
month ago, but his talk held out little
encouragement to the creamery move
ment We presume he was sincere in
his discourse, but was not properly
posted as to local conditions He ad-
vocated, for instance, that the farm
ers SOW five acre tracts of alfalfa as
an experiment evidently not knowing
that many of our farmers have ten to
Is acres of alfalfa and that many of
the fields are several years old. He
seemed to be equally in error as to the
number and quality of the COWS in this
territory. He has been active of late
in the newe rsection of the state west
of the Missouri river, and apparently
assumed that the same conditions pre-
vailed here. He also advocated the
establishment of cream station as a
preliminary step to creamery. Now,
many Of the farmers here who came
from dairy sections in eastern states
know that cream station is no more
necessary as a preliminary step to a
creamery than mail order station to
the establishment of a mercantile
store. To cut a long story short, when
Mr.. Merrill got through talking it
would have been useless to try and sell
shares for the immediate building Of a
creamery.
However, the farmers are not dis
couraged by this slight setback Frosts
are to be expected early in the sea
son. While the selling Of shares will
not be pushed just now the farmers
will continue to prepare for the cream
cry and by next fall may be ready to
build the same and have 1t ready for
early use next spring. The creamery
is coming and coming soon and no

DECISION AFFECTS MUCH
BARNES COUNTY LAND

Bismarck, March 20.-In an opin.
ion written by Judge E. T. Burke
Ian important question was decided
by the supreme court yesterday-the
question affecting every odd mum
bered section of land 20 miles on eth
er side of the Northern Pacific rail
road line in this state. The case de.
cided was that of Wensburg VS.. Gibbs
Townhsip. -EH " ,5
In 1884 the congress Of the United
States made floating grant of all
odd-numbered sections of land for
20 miles on both sides of the proposed
Northern Pacific right-of-way to the
railroad company, if the road was
built from the Great Lakes to Puget
Sound. No provision was made in
this grant for public highways, nor
had any such provision been made
prior to this time.
In 1866 congress granted strip
along the section lines of all public
lands for public highway purposes
The strip was to be four RAIDS in
width.
In 1873 the Northern Pacific rail
road built through here and filed it's
certificate of definite location and
thus settle the identity of the Sec
lions of land it came into possession
of by the grant of 1864.
Mrs. Wensburg came into posses.
sion of one of the sections originally
granted to the Northern Pacific.
Gibbs township took four rods off
from his land and graded it for high
way purposes, under the provisions
of act of 1866.
Mr.. Wensburg started suits for the
recovery of this disputed strip of
land and claimed that as it was
granted to the Northern Pacific raj!
road company in 1864 the highways
act of 1866 could not be construed
so as to apply to his land.
The township contended that the
grant to the railroad company did
not become effective until 1873,
when the road was definitely located,
and that, therefore, the act of 1866
did apply to the section and the
township had right to the roadway
strip. In other words, because the
railroad company did not take ad-
vantage of the grant of 1854 and
build it's road at once and locate it's
lands the township contended that
the later act, that Of the year 1866,
did not apply to that land
The court held with the township,
and the locating and granting of the
road was legalized and the court held
that Mr. Wensburg could not recover.
This decision applies to every odd
numbered section of land on either
side of the Northern Pacific right-of-
way for 20 miles.
