horses, and is doing the breeders
Of the western states a great
service in tho respect. But
while the small horse is in de-
mand during this war, breeder
should not be deluded by keeping
on breeding this class of horses.
When this war is settled there
will probably be no more wars for
at least 100 years, hence the de-
mand for war horses in the years
to come will be very slight. When
the war is over there will be
greater demand for the good, big
draft horse than has ever been
known before, and I predict that
those who stick to the good horse
will be fully vindicated, and fully
paid fol, their efforts in behalf
Of the horse.

400 PER CENT PROFIT
ON N. D. LIVE STOCK

Minot, N. D., June 1.-THE en-.
ormous profits which can be
made in the raising Of live stock
in North Dakota and especially
in Ward county, was we'll illu-
strated in the sale Of some steers
by H. j. Yuley, who lives near
Burlington. He sold nine steers
that averaged in weight 1852
pounds each, at Z IL cents a
pound, making the price to him
$81.15 each. He purchased the
animals as calves in 1913 for
SIG each and kept them practi-
cally eighteen months. The cost
of keeping was small, as they
were> grown, almost entirely on
what would otherwise. have been
waste products of the farm. His
gross profit on each steer was
practically $65 and the profit on
the. entire bunch was 1856.
This is one Of the greatest evil
dences Of the value of live stock
diversification in this state that
has come to the attention Of this
paper in some months but it is
probably nothing more than every
farmer would realize were he to
engage in this line of industry.

They were out as far in early
April as they usually are in May.
The winter which seemed to

with violence calculated to
make up for any previous neg

June was as cold as May. Snow

In Vermont the snow lay ten

Crops were planted and replant-

LOOK OUT FOR FLY
BREEDING PLACES


Washburn looks cleaner this
year than ever before. There are
a few back yards not far from
main street that need cleaning
but that will no doubt be done
before chautauqua.
It is time now to look after
the breeding places of the flies.
There are certain outbuildings
that should be either cleaned or
removed entirely. DO not dump
garbage out any old place. Dish
water thrown outside the door
gathers flies. It's a dirty hab-

GRADUATING EXERCISES
HELD MONDAY AFTERNOON

On account of the heavy
downpoor all day Saturday, the
graduating exercises was post
poned from that evening to Mon
day afternoon. The hall had
been decorated very prettily in
the class colors and pennants,
and man" bright flowers and
large house plants helped to
make the hall very attractive.
The program was opened by a
selection by the Washburn or
chestra. This was followed by
a song by the glee club. Rev.
Reid was unable to be present
and Rev. Pengelly took his place
on the program. In the remarks
made by Prof. Brown, the facts
were made known thet the two
graduates had taken the full
four year high school course and
had creditable, marks in all their
studies.
Judge Bruce gave a very in
teresting talk that was instruc-
tive as well. He had addressed
the graduating class at Under
wood on Friday evening.
Those who graduated from the
high school were Helen Forbes
and Doloras Brummund. Those
from the eighth grade were {:
Myrtle Nelson, Louise and Hugh
johnson, and Richard Buchholz.
The school throughout has been
a very successful one this year.
The children made rapid progress
in their studies and all was
harmony in the work.
A Parents Teachers League
was organized last fall and we'll
attended meetings were held each
month.
This was the first year that
the children entered in the coun-
ty field meet, and although they
only won third place, they are
satisfied and hope to do better
next year.
The parents feel that the
teachers have done good work
this year and regret that they
will not all 'eturn.

Road Building
Agitating County
Changing of Roads and Closing
up Section Lines Causing
Trouble Over County

The matter Of road building
has raised more questions this
year than ever before. The far
mers are fencing their land and
the cut off roads are all being
closed up which necessitatcs the
travelling Of the legal roads. In
some eases, even, the farmers
have gone SO far as to fence up
section lines where they own
the land on both sides Of the
line. This, Of course, is illegal.
A good many seem to have the
impression that section lines are
not roads unless opened by pet
ition to the commissioners, which
Of course, is an erroneous 'dea
as every section line in this
state was made a public highway
by act Of Congress July 26, 1856,
in the territorial days, and the
courts Of the state have repeated
held that every section line is a
road except, of course, where
they have been abandoned by
the regular legal process.
Road building is the biggest
problem we have to contend with
in this country. The country
being new, every road needs a
little work and with so much Of
it to be done, it will have to ba
systemized or it will be years be-
fore anything like passable roads
will be possible in this country.
Flowing up and fencing section
lines and old military roads adds
to the burden of road building
for in many cases the section
lines could be Travelled if they
were not plowed and fenced up
and in this way the main roads,
which need more: repair, could be
given the work. If the principal
travelled roads are once put in
shape it will be possible for
those in each locality to get to
the main road by comparatively
short hauls throughout the bad
roads and each year a few Of
these cross roads can be fixed
up and in matter Of a very
few years we will have a fine
road system in this country. The
road overseers in each township
should meet together and de-
eide on what roads they will
work first so as to give a good
through road east and west and
north and south in each town.
ship. and then after these are
fixed up, work can be commenced
on the roads leading to the main
roads. A little. road here and
there all over the township ac-
complishes nothing in the long
run. We have in mind a road
on which about half the work
done in this township one year
was done and which has never
been travelled except by gophers
and jack rabbits. What the road
building in this county needs is
a title system. Work the roads
travelled most first for it is inn
possible to fix them all at
once.-NIax Enterprise.

Horses Excellent
No Place Where Better Horses
Can be Raised Than on the
N. D. Plains

greatly in demand because Of
their proven superiority; that the,
war is taking many Of the light
er weight ones, and chat we
should give special attention to
breeding heavier draft horses, is
the opinion Of an experienced
horseman, U. L. Burdick, Of Will
liston, N. D. in letter to Com
missioner Of Agriculture R. f.
Flint, as follows:
During the last four or five
years almost every public speaker
who addressed a farmers gath
ering, has emphasized the import
ance of cattle raising i'm North
Dakota, and to this end almost
every agency in the state, has
combined to assist in starting
anew the cattle industry Of the
state.
While this is a good thing, it
seems to me, from my long ex-
perience in North Dakota, that
one of the most impostant in
dustries, and the one which can
be carried on with the least ex-
pense, at the greatest profit, has
been overlooked, and that not
enough empha";s has been in the
past, or lis now placed upon the
horse industry Of this state.
/ believe it is admitted by ev-
eryone that from the natural
conditions of North Dakota there
is no place where better horses
can be raised than on the plains
of North Dakota. 1 have not
time to state statistics on this
point, but will state generally,
and it can be proven, that horses.
reared in North Dakota and in
the northern states, when put
to a test in Eastern cities outliWe.
the horses raised in central and
eastern sections in marked de-
gree. The world will probably
never produce a horse with great
er stamina than those raised in
the rigorous climates of North. .Da.
kota andM ontana.
l believe, however, in giving
the incentive to the increased
production of horses in North
Dakota, that we should take care
that the best class of horses IS
produced. Nearly all the large
ranches in this state have been
broken up by the coming OF set
tiers, and horse, are to be raised
in small units, and from an eco-
nomic standpoint farmers must
start with the mares which they
have. They cannot afford to
dispose of them and buy better
stuff. Their only salvation Us,
then, to start with the very best
sires they can obtain in their
community. It does not make a
great deal of difference what
breed of draft horse is used as a
sire. That is a matter of per-
sonal preference. But inasmueh
as the ,Percherom predominates
so strongly in North Dakota, l
believe that communities having
the Percheron in a greater num-
ber should continue that line
and develope a distinct breed
in that particular locality.
