CHICAGO is NOW THE
GREATEST HORSE MARKET

Chicago, Nov. z8.-Chicago today is
the greatest horse market in the world
More than 100000 horses have sold
for $12,0O0,000, through the local mar
ket in the last six months. The Euro
pean wars demand for artillery and
cavalry mounts is responsible for this
return of King Horse to the throne
from which the, automobile spilled
him.
Demands from Mexico have added
not little to the business in horses
here. At first, agents for the Euro.
pean governments were secretive
about purchases. Everyone knew
horses were being bought but few
persons ever saw the agents. It was
while the allies agents were buying
incognito that the record sale of 1901
horses in one week was made, in No.
vember, 1914. Now the agents buy
openly. During the week ending Nov
6, 5000 horses were sold. In the
same period two years ago S29 horses
was considered good number to sell
per week. From 5000 to 1000 horses
sold weekly these days is an average.
The horses bring $120 to $24O a
head; $3.50 being paid for artillery
horses. Draft horses sell for from
$500 to $500 head; $500 being
paid for horses of between 1850 to
1850 pounds. There have been in,
Vulnerable spy scares at the yards and
vigorous measures have been adopted,
but there have been no arrests.

Winter Short Course
to Open in January

The winter short courses for the
North Dakota Agricultural college will
open Jan. 3. These courses offer to
the young people of North Dakota
three distinct lines of work-two lines
for the young men and one for young
women.
Schedule A, the agricultural short
course, includes such subjects as horti
culture, farm crops, farm accounts
seed treating and testing, soils, dairy
practice, veterinary, breeds Of live
stock, feeding Of livestock, stock judg
ing and choice between gas engines
and steam engines, and wood work OF
forge work. a 4sts
Schedule B, the engineering short
course, offers both gas and steam en-
gines with wood work or forge work
and English, arithmetic or commercial
law. " *#a ##Grs E
Schedule D, the domestic science
short course, includes cooking, sew
ing, household decoration, home man
agement, hygiene and first aid to the
injured.
In all three schedules an opportunity
will be given to study English and
arithmetic
While these winter short courses
have always been very popular, the ap
plications that are being received
would indicate that they will be more
popular this year than usual. I'm
doubtedly, a great many of the young
people of the state who, on account Of
the condition that prevailed during
harvest time, were prevented from at
tending the longer courses-farm hus
bandry, power machinery and home
makers courses that begin October II
are planning to avail themselves OF
the winter short courses. The regis
trar's Office has been busy for the last
ten days in mailing out circulars that
outline these winter short courses in
detail. These circulars give specific
information regarding the material in.
cluded under each subject, and also ex.
plain fully matters of expenses, etc. A
copy of this circular may be had by
addressing the registrars Office.

EVERY MEADOW LARK
IS WORTH $40 A YEAR

The meadow lark is one of the most
familiar of the birds on the prairie
1t is also one of the most valuable
of the birds in North Dakota. Dr.SW
B. Bell, zoologist of the North Dakota
experiment station, has the following
to say of this insect eater: ~.
THE meadow lark feeds almost en-
tirely upon insects. Over three-fourths
of it's food consists. of insects captur.
ed in the fields. About IL per cent
of the remainder is weed seeds and
small amount of grain cleaned dur.
ing the winter from waste grain scat.
tered in the fields. During the sum.
mer when it is found in North Da.
kota it's diet is made up almost ex.
clusively of insects. Insects are pre-.
ferred to other food and are always
eaten when they can be obtained
During the winter months many dor.
mant insects ARE found and consum.
ed in places where the meadow lark
winters.
Among the destructive insects upon
which it feeds are grasshoppers, eric.
which it feeds are grasshoppers, crick-
cts, moths, butterflies, weevils cur.
culios, billbugs, leaf-beetles, click-bee.
ties, chinch bugs and plant-lice. Many
larval insects, as wire-worms, cut.
worms and army worms are consum.
ed also.
They destroy the seed of pigeon
gress, panic-grass, smart-weed, rag.
weed, mustard and other weeds.
The meadow lark is one of the most
valuable of birds to the farmer and
should never be shot or disturbed in
its nesting.
It has been estimated that mea-
dow lark is worth $40 to $40 a year to
the farmer on account of the insects
that it eats

Wheat Worth Millions;
Able to Resist Rust

Minneapolis, Nov. 26.-Thirty thou
sand dollars is the value Of few
pecks of wheat carefully treasured in
the vaults of the Minnesota college
of agriculture experiment station
After five more generations of breed
ing and selection the resulting grain
may be worth millions of dollars an
nually to wheat growers Of Mime
sofa and Dakota.
The result for which the station ex
perts are striving in their costly re
search work is new strain OF rust
resisting grain.
The blue stem grain which is grown
widely as the spring wheat crop in
the Northwest forms one side of the
family tree, whose offspring may be
the hardy and prolific one desired
Durum wheat, famous for it's rust re
sisting qualities, is the other member
of the union, The problem is to com
bine in one strain of wheat the rust
resisting qualities of the duran anG
the large yield of the blue stem.
The federal government and the
state of Minnesota have contributed
together about 100000 up to this time
in the production of the new seed
The cross has been successful. There
remain certain vital problems which
have to be overcome before the grain
is ready for general distribution.
For this reason Dean A. F. Woods
of the agricultural college was very
reluctant to make the announcement
of the advancement which has taken
place up to this time. 1T must be
generally understood that it will be
another five years or more before the
experiment station will be ready tc
give out the seed for agricultural pur
poses," Dean Woods said. He is de-
sirous Of avoiding a food of letters
from farmers wanting the improved
seed for planting next spring.
Several strains of the seed up to
this time have been produced which
have the rust resisting properties and
are equally or more prolific than the
blue stem. The baking qualities of the
product, however, are not yet up to
the standard which the agricultural
experts want to embody in the new
grain.
The cross breeding, accordingly, will
be carried on for a series of years.
None of the inferior baking wheat will
be allowed to get out in the state.
The experiments during the past ten
years have been under the direction Of
C. NJ Freeman, assistant dean of the
agricultural college. The staff of the
grain breeding department has been
assisting in the experiment..
Should the new seed prove success
full, it undoubtedly will replace the
variety of grain now grown in the
Northwest. BY eliminating the annual
loss from rust, an annual saving esti-
mated conservatively at $4,000, 600
will be realized.

New Zealand Man
Likes North Dakota

- l.
New Zealand, who has been touring
California and other western points,.
has arrived in Bismarck for a several
days visit at the capital city of North.
Dakota. While in California he visit
ed the expositions. In an interview,
Mr.. Fisher gave graphic description
of conditions in New Zealand and Aus
tralia since the outbreak of the great
European war. "Times never were.
BETTER" said Mr.. Fisher. I'm fact the
two countries are experiencing a.
boom. Wool has greatly advanced in
price. During the last few months.
wheat has advanced to 81 a bushel and
the wool has had a great jump" Mr.
Fisher said that the wheat crop for
New Zealand last year was 67,O0O,OO0
bushels.
In speaking Of the effect of the Eu-
ropean war had had on New Zealand
and Australia, Mr.. Fisher said that no.
material change was noticeable ex-
cept for the great demand for their
products. Wool, grain, mutton and
butter are in constant demand and
the expectations of these products
have created great demand for land.
The governments of these two coun--
tries, said Mr., Fisher, have taken
over the steamship commerce between
the two countries.
Australia and New Zealand have.
contributed large number OF men
for the mother country" said Mr..
Fisher. Troop ships after troop ship
laden with soldiers leave the great
ports Of these countries right along.
Mr.. Fisher said that many Of the SOL
diers from this section participated in
the great Dardanelles expedition and
that many Of his classmates we're
killed there in action. While leaving
New Zealand four months ago Mr..
Fisher said that eight troop ships
were leaving one of the ports there
and they were escorted by two Brit
ish, two French and two Japanese
warships. He said that many OF the
large liners have been ,dismantled and
turned into ships to convey the SOL
diers to the various battle fronts. Mr..
Fisher has had three years OF mill
tary training and If CONSUMPTION be-.
comes effective, will be among the first
to be called.
In speaking Of America he said
that he was greatly pleased with what.
he had seen in the great west and was
delighted with the exposition at San
Francisco. The exposition, he said,
was wonderful, but the lack Of Brit
ish and German exhibits was very.
noticeable.
He gave an interesting account of
his country, both as to government
and to the various industries and in
.habitants. In his country women have
equal suffrage with men, privilege
they have enjoyed for some time.
Mr.. Fisher and a friend, E. Nc
Laughlin, have been touring the Unit
ed States for several weeks and ex-
pect to leave next month for their
home. They will sail from Vancouver
after q tour Of Canada.
