Poultry Pointers.

AS pullets near maturity give
them more room in the roosting
quarters.
Feed the pullets and melting
hens. Neglect means delay in
the egg production.
Plant plenty of green feed for
the poultry to Craze on in the
winter and spring, Experiments
show that hens will lay twice as
many eggs if allowed to Craze.
Half an acre for twenty five hens
is none too much. Several acres
of wheat, oats, or rye near the
house will insure plenty for the

any way
To go round loafing and wasting

If you can't make the hill running

Just say I'm on low, and say new

If things go wrong, don't hurry
too fast,
Keep smiling, don't worry,
you'll make it all right,
If you just keep trying with all

Don't waste your time grumbling,

And dig in and root like a corn

If you think you have a pretty
good pull,
You are kidding yourself with a

SEED LIEN COMES SECOND

The supreme court of the state of
North Dakota, in a decision handed
down within the past ten days holds
that first mortgage takes priority
and is first lien on farm property.
The case at issue is one of unusual
Importance over the entire state as
there is not a county in which large
sums of money will not be involved,
the, previous holding having been that
the seed lien came first In the de-
cision, which was handed down by
Judge Bruce, the court holds that the
seed lien is not a tax within the
meaning of the law, but that if it
were tax it would be paramount
over the first mortgage. 1t is held
that tax is to be an enforced burden
or charge imposed by the legislature
upon persons or property to raise
money for public purpose and that
the seed lien is held not to be such an
enforced burden. For this reason
farmer who has mortgage on his
land and takes advantage of the seed
and feed bill does not thereby make
the seed bill first lien, or to use the
words of the court in the decision
handed down, ''the seed lien charge,
which is provided for by Chapter 21O
of the laws of 1909, is not paramount
to the lien Of an antecedent real es-
tate mortgage The case was appeal
ed from the district court at Minot
and was argued before the March term
of the state supreme court at Bis
marck the early part of last month,
the decision as above given being
handed down on the 26th ult

This year the woman's department
Of the county fair is to be divided
into two departments, one section to
consist of art work and the other to
include cooking, preserving, butter
and farm cured meats. The class for
farm cured meats, will be new ad-
dition to the premium list this year
and in this class four lots of prizes of
SIS, So and So each will be offered.
In addition to these prizes Banker C.
B. Mcmillan of Hannah, makes an
offer that he will pay sixty cents a
pound for all the prize winning farm
cured hams exhibited at this year 8
fair.
The fair association decided to lay
over until their next meeting, which
will be held in June, the matter of
additional buildings, which it has un-
der consideration to erect at the fair
grounds this summer. 1t is practically
certain, however, that new cattle
barn will be built before the fair is
held. By a unanimous vote it was
decided to offer the use of the fair
grounds to the breeders association
for the sale of pure bred horses and
live stock which it is expected will be
held here in Langdon some time this
fall The heads Of the different de-
partments Of the fair will remain
practically unchanged, the president
and secretary of the association being
empowered to make appointments to
fill whatever vacancies may happen
to occur.

POPULAR M. D. MOVES AWAY

DR.. Semple, of this city, has no.
tice elsewhere in this issue which
makes public the announcement that
he has decided to leave Langdon. By
inquiry the Democrat learns that the
doctor will locate at Minot, N. D.,
and that his leaving here will occur
IN about six weeks from now. DR..
Semple has been medical practition-
er in this city the past twenty years.
having first come to Langdon in the
spring of 1895 and the excellent
practice built up during that time is
the best of evidence of the apprecia-
tion by Langdon people of the value
of his professional services. Doc.
Semple has what may very properly
be termed an army of friends who
regret to hear of his decision to leave
Langdon. He has proved himself as
physician to be one of unusual abih-
ty, and a man with whom it is
pleasure to be associated with, either
in a business way or socially In
deciding to locate at Minot DR.. Sem
pie enters upon wider field of prac-
tice, though we are given to under
stand that the motive in determining
him to leave Langdon is for the pur-
pose of establishing a nearer home
base to his farming interests in Sas-
katchewan. To the people of the
Zenith City of western North Dakota
we would say that they are to be con-
graduated in having acquired a man
of DR.. Semple's professional worth.
The many friends he has acquired in
Langdon during residence of twenty
years who though regretting his leav-
ing here wish him WE'LL DR.. Judd H.
Kirkman, formerly of Anamoose, N.
D., will be the successor to DIR. Sem
pies practice and arrived in the city

JOSEPH FAHNLENDER
ANSWERED THIRTY"
Brother of Mrs. Peter Wild and Veteran News
paper Man Responds to Final Call

The death occurred at his home in
Grand Forks on Friday of last week
of Joseph P. Fahnlender, who held
recognition as one of the Oldest news
paper men from the point of actual
length of service in this state. The
deceased, who was a brother of Mrs.
Peter Wild Of Osnabrock, although
only fifty-eight years old, had been
actively engaged in newspaper work
since mere boy in his teens. "Joe"
Fahnlender, as he was familiarly
known, came to this state from St.
Cloud, Mlnn., some twenty years ago
and re-established at Fargo the Nord
Dakota Presse, the only German paper
at that time in the state, which he
removed from Jamestown, where it
had begun to rapidly approach the
closing of its career. AS a newspaper
man the death of Mr.. Fahnlender at
Grand Forks last week brought
thirty to an old veteran who had
spent forty-three years of life
which in its aggregate lacked two
years of the allotted three score in the
service of the people as a newspaper
man.. The publisher of this paper first
met and became acquainted with Joe
Fahnlender back in 1870 when he had
just started to serve his apprentice
ship on Der Waechter am Sangeen'
at Neustadt, Ont. He had experience
ed all the ups and downs that go to
make up the lot of running paper
here in the pioneer days and though
he may not have prospered as some
would view it, his career was one of
honor and success as viewed by a
newspaper man. Since last October
he had suffered from cancer in the
throat which brought to a close his
active work. The widow and two
daughters have our sympathy.

gathering was held in the room on the
second floor of the old armory build
ing and pleasant hour spent in i'm

heartfelt expression. The climax was

ROBERT WATSON PASSES
TO THE GREAT BEYOND
A Pioneer of the Mona Settlement for Upwards
Thirty Years is Mourned by Many

Robert Watson's death at his home
in Langdon, which occurred Monday
evening about half past seven O. clock,
was due to an attack of pneumonia,
with which he was seized less than a
week ago, the disease being enabled
to make rapid inroads into the weak
ened constitution of the patient,
owing to the fact of his having only
just begun to regain his health and
strength after an illness that had kept
him in his bed for nearly a month.
He had been resident here
since 1882 coming to Cavalier county
with the first of the early pioneers,
from across the line at Star Mound,
Man., when he homesteaded in the
Mona settlement and had lived con-
tinuously until he retired from active
farming about two years ago,
moving into Langdon to live. Mr..
Watson's birth place is stated as be-
ing Belfast, Ireland, but he emigra-
ted to Canada when a mere boy in his
teens and though his entire life had
been one of hardships experienced by
those who paved the way for the
prosperity of others his labors and
thrift had not been unrewarded.
The funeral yesterday afternoon
from the Methodist church was large
ly attended by his old friends and
neighbors who some of them came
from a considerable distance to pay a
last tribute OF respect to a worthy
and honored pioneer. The deceased
was in his sixty-sixth year anc

farms judged by score card similar
to that used in last years competition
for this feature of the fair. This
year, however, instead of paying the
prizes in cash it is proposed to pur-
chase silver cups or trophies of the
same value, the cup or trophy to be-
come the personal property of the
winner after having been won three
times, either in the district or sweep
