Improbable Acres.

We hear many uDcomplimentary
things said about the Improbable dairy
cow-the boarder cow that is supported
from the profits of the remainder OF the
herd. On many farms the Improbable
dairy COW is not by any means the only
boarder. Low yielding acres, like
boarder cows, are often fatal to success
full farming Our farm survey records
show that areas of poorly drained, com.
pact, sour soils, or soils low in humus
greatly reduce net profits and are fire.
Quent cause of minus labor income.
Sometimes these records show that as
much as thirty per cent of the entire
farm acreage does not produce enough
to pay Its way.
One farm on which We recently took
records has forty acres Of poorly drain
ed land that in Its present condition Ia
practically worthless. Twenty-Five dol.
lars per acre spent In drainage will make
this forty .acre'tract the equal Of any in
that district, and good land IL selling
there at $3.50 per acre.
The successful business man tries 10
weed out all Improbable enterprises
and to expand those that pay profit
Improbable acres cannot always be dis
posed of as readily as boarder cows, but
usually they can be improved until they
become profit bearing. If the income
from such land cannot be increased 1t il
quite possible that the labor spent upon
il can be reduced until the income Al
least pays the cost of labor.-J. C. Nc

The Dark Dairy Barn.

While there are but few dairy barns
that are really sufficiently lighted at any
time. the number of dark barns during
the winter months are much greater
than during the summer, since most
dairymen, in their efforts TO make the
Quarters snug and warm for the animals
through severe winter weather, oar
much of the light by closing up all the
openiugs through which 1t must come.
The dark dairy barn is more apt to oe
damp, since dampuess is sure to form
where the sunlight never is allowed to
penetrate, and this, with the liquids
passed by the cows, forms an ideal seed
bed for establishing rheumatism and
other similar diseases among the hero
while the absence Of light further en-
coursges the accumulation of all sorts ol
disease germs.
Another most undesirable feature o
the dark dairy barn, is Its dstrlmenta
effect on the eyesight Of the herd. Ih'
animals are confined in their dark quar-
ters for several hours, perhaps severa
days at times, which somewhat accus
toms them to the gloomy atmosphere
Belup turned into the open sunlign
again. the sudden change strains Ant
paralyzes the optic nerves, thus serious
iv affecting the eyesight. A limite'
amount of light admitted in front of IN
cows in their stalls will rectify this grea
mistake.

"Where haze you hidden the stuffT'
demanded Hobson.
Suddenly Atterson laughed.

he said. "I've my own down on them,
and I'm glad they've been hit by some
one, though I'm not the man. Anyway,
I'll have you and them for wrongful
arrest, with violence"
November was lingering over the
pack, which lay oper on the ground
examining 1t and its contents with con.
centrated attention. Atterson had sunk
down under tree like man wearied

Robson and Joe made rapid exam
ination of the vicinity. A few yards
brought them to the end Of AtterSon's

and his trail stops right where he

he turned on his heel.
November Joe did not move as Hob

THE VALUE OF
FUR COLLECTION
COLLECTION FOR A NORMAL
SEASON HAS A VALUE OF
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS

A. B. Shubert, 1nc.-Chicago, U. S.
A., the largest house in the world,
dealing exclusively in American Raw
Furs, in a letter to the editor says
in part as follows:
Fifty Million Dollars" worth Of
Raw Furs. Quite a large sum of
money, when you come to think Of it.
This is a normal seasons production
of the Raw Furs Of the World, and
American Raw Furs make up about
two-thirds of the Worlds collection.
Can you imagine fifty million dollars
changing hands for American Raw
Furs? Yet such is the case as near
as can be estimated from the account
books of the largest collectors. The
merry old World still goes around
and the coming of Winter brings on
one more Raw Fur Season. It is one
of the oldest industries known to
man, dating back even before the time
of Christ, and in spite of the fact
that millions of fur-bearing animals
are killed off every year, in spite Of
the fact that rigid game laws are
enacted to protect the fur bearers,
the game is far from being extinct,
and when the collections are smaller,
the price goes up accordingly. It is
wonderful the part that Furs have
played in the history of man. They
have caused wars, led to the explora-
ton of new lands and changed the
maps Of nations but more wonderful
still are the varied fluctuations in
the market. It is the greatest specu
lative game in the world. When the
Raw Fur Market is at its highest
pitch, Wall Street fades away to moth
ing alongside Of it, and so it is with
the Steel Trust and the Tobacco Trust
and the rest of our largest industries.
Before people knew what steel or to-
bacco was, they were skinning ami
mails for their Fur. and still the game
has not died out, in fact, this season
promises more activity than ever in
the fur business.
Furs are an absolute necessity as
they form the protective clothing Of
those whose occupation brings them
in contact with the elements of win
ter. Furthermore, Furs are extreme
ly fashionable. Milady's wardrobe Is
not complete without most Of her
outer garments for fall and winter
her hat-evening gown and dresses
trimmed with fur. And it is uncom.
mon to see shoe tops also trimmed
with fur.

DECISION FAVORS
OWNERS OF WINE
JUDGE OVER.RULES STATES At
TORNEY'S DEMURRER-MEN
WILL GET SHIPMENT

Mandan, N. D., Oct. 26.-The own
ers of 25 or more barrels of wine
which was seized by Morton county
officials from Hebron parties early in
the present year have won an import
ant decision, as handed down by Judge
Nuessle Of the Tenth judicial district.
The court decision overrules the de-
murrer of States Attorney LANCER
which contended that the complaint
of the attorney for the wine owners,
John F. Sullivan, was not sufficient to
constitute case. The complaint of
the wine owners was to the effect that
the court before which the case was
originally tried, justice Of the peace,
was without jurisdiction because the
property involved has greater value
than $50.
The complaint brought by Attorney
Sullivan also alleged that the plain
tiffs in the action to recover the wine
form Sheriff Mcdonald, for conven-
ience had the liquor shipped in one
car and under one consignment; that
each paid a pro rata share Of the
freight, and that the whole consign-
ment was stored in various places in
Hebron in order to avoid storage
charges.
The partial opinion of Judge
Neussle follows:
"The court being satisfied that the
demurrer should be overruled upon
all of the points stated in said demur
rer, it is, therefore, on motion for the
plaintiffs ordered by the court that
the said demurrer be and the same is
hereby ordered overruled and the de-
fendant is given 20 days after the date
Of the service of this order upon coun-
sci for the defendant in which to an
swer the complaint herein"
The opinion Of the court means that
if the authorities do not show cause in
twenty days why the wine should be
destroyed it will be returned to the
owners, all of Hebron.
