WILL AERoPLANES STOP WAR
orrville Wright is Moved to Say He
Likes to Think SO,
Anyhow.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is a very definite reason why the
present war in Europe has dragged
along for a year with neither side
gaining much advantage over the
other? The reason, as figure II out.
is aeroplanes. Orvllle Wright writes
in Golfers. In consequence of the
scouting work done by the flying ma
chimes. each side knows exactly what
the opposition forces are doing.
There is little chance for one army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at un-
expected places. The aeroplane has
made that impossible. II has equal
lied information. Each side has such
complete knowledge of the others
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means of slow. tedious routine rather
than by quick. spectacular dashes.
My impression is that before the
present war started the army experts
expected 1t to be a matter OF a few
weeks or, at most a few months. Today
1t looks as If II might run into years
before one side can dictate terms.
Now, a nation that may be willing to
undertake a war lasting a few months
may well hesitate after engaging in
one that will occupy years.
The daily cost of great war is of
course stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years the total is likely to
be so great that the side which wins
nevertheless loses. War will become
prohibitively expensive. And the
scouting work in flying machines will
be the predominating factor, as it
seems to me, in bringing this about.
like to think so, anyhow.

DRINKERS DEATH RATE HIGH.

Startling evidence of the effect Of
alcohol on the moderate drinkers is
offered by the Life Extension insti-
tute. The bulletin issued to its men,
bers shows that in one Canadian and
three British life insurance companies
the mortality among so-called moder-
ate drinkers, accepted as temperate
and healthy risks, exceeded the death
rate among the abstainers by rs, 81,
81 and "A per cent, respectively.
New data was recently compiled by
forty-three American life insurance
companies, covering a period of twen-
ty-five years. with the following re-
suits: Steady moderate drinkers, ac-
cepted as standard risks, death rate SO
per cent above the average. Former
drinkers admitting past excesses),
death rate SO per cent above the aver
age. Very moderate drinkers, IS per
cent above the average.
Experimental laboratory work. ,
says the board of scientific authorities
has kept pace with statistical investi.
cation, and the knowledge gained from
the laboratory, not only in experiments
on animals, but on man himself, shows
that higher death rate among alco-
hol users is what we would naturally
expect to find in the light Of what we
know regarding its effects on the
body"

When a soil becomes thin. nature
does not transport mineral fertilizers
from some other quarter, but pro-
duces vegetation which increases the
soils power to hold moisture when the
material has rotted. Some of the nat

able through the decay of vegetation.

sands That They May Gain
Riches Quickly.

II was in 1898 that the rush of gold
seekers to the Klondike reached its
food. The ninety-eighters probably
never will know the fame of the forty
miners, but they have a place in the
long history of the gold hunters, the
men of all nations, ancient, medieval
and modern. The book has a hundred
chapters telling of failure and of death
to every one lightened with the story
of success.
II, NJ. Cadell recently visited the
Klondike. and there made a study OF
present conditions. He describes them
and adds an interesting account OF the
early day rush to the Northwest terri
tory. The Smithsonian institution has
put Mr.. Cadell's report into print. 1t
is an interesting document. Some of
the happenings in the Klondike were
duplicates of like happenings in Cali
fornia and Australia during the first
years OF the surface washing in those
fields. These Implications show that
human nature is unchanging.
Men went to the Klondike daring
hardship and death that they might
get rich quick. Some of the gold
seekers were quickly successful A
large percentage of the successful
ones almost literally threw their mon.
ey away. Easy come. easy go. This
sort of thing has marked gold min
ing in all ages. The Klondike Is not
what II was. but human nature stays
the same The discovery OF gold at
the North pole would start a north
ern migration that would take no ac-
count of the insuperable obstacles OF
distance and cold. The lure Is ire
sistible.--Chicago Post.

CONTEST HOGS MARKET.
ABLE IN SEVEN MONTHS

In the North Dakota Pork pro-
duction Contest Just closed the
twenty-four boys and girls that
won the prizes produced hogs that
averaged $40 pounds in seven
months. This was done too by
using the feeds produced on the
farms. After charging up the food
consumed at market prices. il
was found that the average COS.
of producing a pound Of pork was
2 Sac a pound. The hogs were
sold for more than twice that
much per pound: in fact some of
them for nearly two and half
times as much. which means that
the hogs furnished a market for
the food right on the farm and
paid more than twice the regular
market price for it.
The object of the contest was to
demonstrate that a marketable
hog can be produced in about
sevenmonths. orbefore cold wea-
Their. and that North Dakota feeds
are eminently adapted for doing
this thing at a profit. Another

makes better use of the food tina
younger it is. which means that
more pounds of pork are secured
from feeding a given amount of
food to young pig than to an old
one.
The winner of the contest. Miss
Anna Barrett of Larimore, pro-
duced 1911 pounds of pork from
q litter of IA Durocs in 2O9 days.
She sold them for 1-2c which
brought her S247.7i, while the
value of the feed was s9i.l9,
which left return of si56.22
above the cost of the feed. The av-
erage daily return above the cost
of the feed was 75c-pretty good
returns for caring for litter of
pigs. These pigs were narrowed
April 27th. From the 9th of May
until the 10th of October they had
the run of a blue grass pasture.
In addition. they were fed 21 bu-
shells of corn, IL of barley. 20 of
oats, 1-3 tons of screenings, IA
pounds OF bran and shorts, 1.40O
pounds of milk. and from the tst
OF November until the closing of
the contest they followed cattle
that were on feed. From this
amount of feed, the IL pigs with
an average weight of 272 pounds
were produced and the cost per
pound was 2 Csc.
Paul Kellogg. who stood second
in the contest. had total pro-
duction of 1907 pounds from a
litter of Ia Yorkshires in % days.
His feed cost was S75.15. and at
16 1-2c the hogs were worth
$235.45, leaving a return of
$f6O.3o, which figures out that
the returns were TIC per day
above the feed cost. The average
weight of the pigs was 257 1-2
at the close of the contest. These
pigs were fed 3 bushels of corn.

rape pasture 40 days. and hogged
down 3 1-3 acres of corn. The
cost per pound OF gain was two
cents.
The principal feeds used in the
contest and the prices charged
We're as follows: Corn. SOC per

Csc per 100 lbs: pasture. 1-3 cent

The contest was conducted by
the Better Farming Section of the
North Dakota Experiment Station
and was open to farm boys and
girls from ten to eighteen years of
age. The conditions being to see
who could produce the most pork
from litter in the shortest time
and at the least cost. Instructions
were sent the contest: ,ts from
the Experiment Station. as to Sc
Letting the sow and as to the feed
contestants also received instruc-
tons from the County Agents.
Each contestant was required to
send in a report each week COW
ering the feeds used during the
week. The weighing up at the end
OF the contest was done by re-
nresentatives of the N. d. Expert
ment Station.
The boys and girls have in this
contest demonstrated the posi-
bilities of pork production in
North Dakota. They have dem
onstrated that the hog furnishes
the best market for the produce
raised on the farm. They have
also demonstrated that the CAPT.
tai invested in pork production
brings a higher return than that
invested in land that is used in
Grain farming. 1t would be hard
to get acres devoted to grain to
return an AVERAGE of $3.50 after
paying for everyth'-p except the

land cost about the same in N.

grain farming to equal the litter
of pigs in bringing returns.

In the sixties-l refer to the last CEN
tury-my father. then young man,
went out to Denver to grow up
with a new town. Albert Reeder had
gone there few years before with his
family for the purpose Of building a
stamp mill on Clear creek. up in the
mountains. and had become interested
in the extraction of gold from ore. My
father. who was as poor as church
mouse, found work in the service Of
Mr.. Reeder and was sent up to one Of
his stamp mills, where he soon became
superintendent.
Mr.. Reeder thought my father one
Of the brightest young men in the

for him till he discovered that his EN-.
ployee had q love affair with his daugh-
ten Agnes Then he suddenly turned
against him. The trouble was that
