HUNTING SEAS
IS OPENED TODAY
Ducks Reported y y Very Plentiful,
vhils Clloksn crsp L Alss
Said u b Fair.

The 1915 hunting season for
small game opened this morn
ing, and practically every de-
votee Of the sport is spending
the day in the fields with dog
and gun.
Z From all indications ducks
will be more plentiful than for
many seasons past, while the
reports on the prairie chicken
crop are rather conflicting.
Many sportsmen who have
been running their dogs dur
ing the last two weeks say the
birds are almost extinct in this
part Of the county, while others
again assert that the crop is
exceptionally good. The re-
ports of the hunters as they re-
turn this evening will likely
tell the tale.
There has been no change In
the game laws Of North Dakota
since last season. The open
season on prairie chickens,
grouse, snipe and plover COM
mences on Sept. Z and closes
Nov. I. Ducks, geese and
brant may be shot from Sept. Z
to Dec. /.
The bag limit on prairie
chicken and grouse is ten, birds,
while on ducks and other
aquatic fowl fifteen birds per
day is allowed. No hunter is
allowed to have over two days
bag limit in his possession at
any one time.
Every hunter is required to
have a license, which can be
secured from the county audit
or for one dollar. Hunting
without a license subjects the
violator to a fine Of from $40 to
500 or imprisonment ranging 6
from ten to thirty DAYS.
1t is unlawful to ship game
out Of the state except by hold
ers Of non resident licenses. It
is also unlawful to ship game
within the state except to own
home.
it is unlawful to shoot earlier
than sunrise Or later than SUM
set, to shoot game from NOV
ing boats or in open water or
to hunt with artificial blinds or
with artificial lights.
The hunting license must be
carried by the hunter while in
the field and exhibited upon
demand of an authorized officer.

The public schools open on
Sept. 18.
| Some changes have been
made in the high school facul-
ty, Miss Underwood being
elected to the principalship,
made vacant by the resignation
of Miss Hart.
] Psychology and pedagogy
will be taught by the superin-
tendent and physics by Mr..
McKillop; the algebra is yet to
be assigned.
The Latin and history will be
taught by Miss Jane D. Sellen
of Blue Earth, Minn. Miss
Sellen is graduate of Carlton
College and was selected from
a large number of candidates.
Miss Maud Woods will fill the
position made vacant by the
resignation of Miss Robertson.
Bottineau is proud of the splen-
did record made by Miss Woods
during her course at the state
university where she gradual
ed last June, and is fortunate
inssecuring her for a place on
the high school faculty. Miss
Mack will handle the music
and German again this year.
Miss Catherine Mountain of
Mankato, Mimi, will handle
one of the departments in the
junior high school. Miss
Mountain is a graduate of the
advanced course in the Man
kota state normal, and holds a
professional certificate. Be-
fore completing her studies
! she had four years of success
full experience as teacher and
principal in the schools of
Minnesota.
Other new teachers will be
Miss Maud Iverson of Grand
Forks, sixth; and Miss Helen
Ringer, Adrian, Wis, fourth

The Junior high school. or
intermediate school, as it is
called in the west, will be in
troduced this year. There are
a few handicaps, such as lack
of study and assembly room,
but it's advantages warrants it's
being given a trial. A student
is not held in grade and re-
quired to take a subject again
on account of failing in some
other study, as is often neces-
sary in the grade work. The
languages are usually taken
earlier and the advantages of
high school departmental work
are available.

28O junior high schools and
nineteen of these are in North
Dakota.

Alfalfa in Diver
~ NELs LLOYD LILLEsrRAND
Cleaned and flied with humus,
which is of great importance
tor maintaining the moisture
in the soil, and it also acts as
! a soil builder.
The soiling system means
growing green forage, cutting
it and bringing it to the stock
instead Of allowing them to eat
the green feed where it grows,
/ 1T is farming on high priced
lands. 1t is also practiced in
some other regions, on account
OF the conditions being such
that good pastures cannot be
obtained. In many parts of
the world, for example, the
lgreater part Of Germany, cattle
are never grazed.
The system is also followed
to some extent in the eastern
states. When green feeds are
used only to supplement pas
lures for part of the season, it
is spoken of as partial soiling,
when the animals are sustain
I ed entirely on green feed cut
and hauled to them, the plan is
called complete soiling. 1t is
not implied in either case that
the animals do not receive any
feed such as grain, other then
the green feed given, but that
green feed constitutes the main
part of the rotation. On ac-
count of the comparative
cheapness of land, over the
greater part Of the United
States, the system is not as yet
practiced only in a few locali-
ties. It's advantages are: First
saving of land; second,
saving Of fencing; third, better
use of the manure; fourth, the
animals are kept in better
condition.
The reasoning that pasturing
does not yield as much feed as
soiling in that in the former
the plants are injured by the
treading of the feet and the soil
of the grass with manure, and
hevsecond4 reason to be taken
into account is the injury done
to the land by the trampling Of
the stock especially during wet
weather. Soiling will proba-
bly, never be carried on exten-
sively in North Dakota, unless
alfalfa is grown generally.
