MEETS DEATH IN MACHINERY

One, of the saddest and most dis
tressing fatalities that ever brought
grief to a, family and shocked the entire
community occurred at the. engine; room
of the Crescent Mill, in Fairfax just
shortly after the noon hour last Friday,
when Engineer w. A.. Rogers, first as
sistant under Mr.. Alien, met with an
accident that resulted in bis death
several hours later.
On the fatal morning he went to his
work as engineer shortly before noon.
At 1925 one of the milers noticed that
the power was going down and after
shutting off the wheat went to the
engine room to find out what was the
matter. In the southwest corner of the
engine room he found the body, of Mr..
Rogers, unconscious and apparently
dead. Doctors Walker and Crandall
who were summoned pronounced his
condition hopeless and advised that the
injured man be kept at the mill, where
he died at $50. Just how the unfor.
tunate man met with the accident that
caused his death, cannot be explained
as no one else was present in the engin.
room at the time. Nothing was founc
that explains just how and where tn,
accident occurred, but the general sup
position of the men connected with tn,
engine room is that Mr.. Rogers wa

Antler Man Poultry Financier

Antler Americans: Howard
Price rightfully may be placed
on record as the most success
full egg producer and all round
financier in these parts. He
was getting six dozen or more
eggs per day while they were
selling for 35 cents per dozen.
And it is also a fact his eggs are
of such a size that they would
bring five or ten cents more
than the market if eggs were
handled in accordance with the
mandates of law. His hens are
white leghorns but there may
be nothing in the breed. His
hen house is arranged on the
department plan and is a mo-
del of efficiency. There are the
perch, the feeding, the laying
and the sitting departments.
Then biddy is thoroughly train
ed to observe all the proprieties
of the several departments and
be efficient too. We are not
able to delve deeply in chicken
lore but if what succeeds is
success Mr.. Price has it in
truth.

FACTS ABOUT
NORTH DAKOTA
Four ontlneniaI Lines Cross the
State

Four trans-Continental rail
roads cross North Dako ota. Why?
TO carry it's vast agricultural
products to the hungering
multitudes of the crowded
cities. Big railroads always
seek the richest agricultural
districts. Four of them have
spent millions each in North
Dakota. Mr.. Farmer, Mr..
Business Man, Mr., Advertiser.
take the tip; follow the rail
! roads. You don't find railroads
in the deserts.
Where is the best agricul-
tural district on the continent?
Look for the transContinental
lines of railway they know.
Two cross the continent Just
north of North Dakota; four
cross the state; these six aver
age about "A miles Dart. Three
transContinental lines lie south
OF the state. They average
about 44O miles apart. There
is reason; the reason is agri-
cultural.
North Dakota has 44,917, 12O
acres of land. When the last
census was taken 20, 455, ,O92
acres were improved. That is
almost three times as much as
the New England states; more
than eleven times as much as
Florida; more than Ohio or
Indiana; it was almost as much
as Wisconsin and Michigan
combined.
In the ten years covered by
the census, the improved land
in the state increased 112 per
cent-more than any other
state. 1t increased 1880, 572
acres-or 1900, 600 more than
any other state. One-sixth of
all the increase in improved
land in the United States dur
ing that period was in North
Dakota.
The annual crops raised in
creased 126,8l6, ,527 bushels.
The increase in the United
States was 70, 7O7, without
North Dakota it would have
shown a decrease of SO, lO9, O75
bushels.
Does North Dakota raise
corn? The following table
shows the production Of corn
for the past three years:
1912. 8, 1853, 600 bushels
1913. 10, ,SOO,OO
1914. IL, 600, 600 "
Does North Dakota raise
hogs? South St. Paul is our
market for hogs. They report
the following received from
North Dakota:
1912. .63, 600 hogs.
1913. -. l63, COO hogs.
1914. .3l5, 985 hogs.
Some counties in North
Dakota have more silOs than
any counties in Illinois. That
means more corn, more alfalfa
and more stock than ever be
fore.
Does North Dakota need
more farmers! Are our farms
too large: The census shows
the average size of farms in
various states as follow: Ohio,
80 acres; Wisconsin 119 acres;
Missouri 125 acres; Illinois, I29
acres, Iowa l56 acres: Mime
sofa, III acres; the whole L.
s., 1873 acres; North Dakota,
1872 acres; North Dakota east of
Missouri river, 4O4 acres.
The foregoing figures were
taken from the last decennial
report of the United States
government-the most accurate
and complete census ever
taken.
