Fire Breaks

The season for paririe fires is at
hand, and every farmer should pro-
tect his buildings, hay and crop
with frebreak. A legal fireguard
in North Dakota and the method
of burning same is given below:
"A legal fire break shall consist
of a strip of land 200 feet wide,
plowed on either side and burned
out inside the plowing. For the
purpose of making fire guard it
shall be lawful to set on fire a strip
of prairie not exceeding 100 feet in
width, which shall be protected on
each side by a strip Of plowing OF
burning not less than five feet wide,
at such burning there shall not be
less than four men present prepared
with water and suitable appliances
to keep such fire under control.
For the purpose of destroying
any grass or stubble that may be on
any piece of land at the time any
person commences to break or plow
the same, it shall be lawful for such
person to set the same on fire at any
time in the year; provided, that at
the time of setting such grass or
stubble on fire there shall be a strip
of land we'll plowed or burned over
at least so feet in width completely
encompassing.the place where such
fire is set.'

day for a visit with Mrs. Carignan,
and the little boy who has been sick

is very low and not expected to re-

be no hope, which will be sad news
to the many friends Of the Carignan

Silos And Ensilage
lnsures Prosperity
North Dakota Farmers Need More Silos
says Noted Agricultural Expert
Ensilage Best Fodder

With the certainty that the Nort1
Dakota wheat crop of this year viii
be materially smaller than that 0
1915, attention is being turned
more and more to the utilization o
forage crops to the best advantage
The hay crop of the state has beer
excellent. Corn, which for time
looked like failure becau Sc of tn,
backward spring weather, has mad,
wonderful progress, and it nov
stands tall and rank where, a few
weeks ago. there was scarcely any
appearance Of a crop at all. Tht
prospect now is for a large quantity
Of ripened grain and fodder from
the corn crop.
Much depends on the manner in
which the corn crop is handled after
it is harvested. Practically all the
authorities are agreed that both asa
matter of convenience and as a
means Of getting the highest feed
ing values out Of the crop, the use
of the silo is always to be recon-
mended. Silos are now numerous
in the state, and they are being
built rapidly. For those who are
not in position to build the more
costly structures the pit silo is re-
commended. This is easy to build,
it is inexpensive, and it is giving
good results.
The demonstration farm of the
International Harvester Company at
Grand Forks, has one of these silos,
and concerning it J. G. Haney,
manager Of the plant, says:
lone of the advantages of the pit
silo is the fact that it can be refilled
at any time during the winter. Corn
fodder is run through the cutter,
and as it goes into the silo sufficient
water is added through the distri-
butor to thoroughly moisten it. 1t
is probable chat a ton of dry corn
fodder will require nearly a ton of
water to put it in proper shape.
''The pit is protected from the
extreme cold, being under ground,
and consequently; will heat up in a
short time, and make good silage.
''After having used these silos for
the past two years on the 1. H. c.
farm, and having filled them a to-
tol af eleven times, we are more
enthusiastic than ever as to the ad-
vantages of this kind of silo, and
can heartily recommend them to
anyone having conditions, suitable
for the building of o pit silo.
1--WE have also learned that corn
is not the only crop that may be
used in silo. During the past
summer a portion of a pit silo was
filled with white sweet clover, that
made a total yield Of Is tons per
acre. This sweet clover was in full
bloom when cut and made excellent
siIage, and was re]ished by all
kinds Of cattle, producing unusual
gains when fed to fatten cattle.
Further west, where corn does not
do we'll, they have great success
with filling the silos with small
grains, and it is probable that they
will yield as high a feeding value
per acre as does corn in the corn
belt.
1T can be said that there is no
excuse for not having silo, or for
not having a crop to put in it. A
farmer with 10 head of cattle could
well afford to build small pit silo,
which would be filled with very lit
tie expense of machinery, and
which would be of incalcuable val
ue to him, especially in years of
short crops.O

by nightsticks but comes first and
then follows the law.
- In cities abroad actual conditions
are faced and there are no laws on
the books than can not be enforced
Drink is sold in many cities abroad
on certain hours on Sunday but aft
er that time none is served and it is
very doubtful if any could be- OBJ
tanned. If the German Reichstag
were to pass certain of the German
laws the whole army could not en-
force them. The police of this coun-
try lack adequate powers such as the
right to search a house withou a
warrant. In Germany the chief or
lieutenant can search if there is any
evidence Of crime. Abroad they are the
servants and not the masters Of the
people, In most every case abroad
tne third degree is used to more or
ltss extent and man is obliged to
tell the truth. Here it is illegal to
make a man confess and the system
would not be tolerated in this country.
Throughout Germany person
must register "A hours after he has
arrived in a new town giving age,
Parents names, place from whence
he came, etc. OF one time I stayed
in Berlin for several days, three years
later I returned and found my name
on the records, also the fact that
was an American citizen. This re-
port is filed and then sent back to
the place where a man first lived
and in this way the police have a
grip on crime. This system has been
in effect since 1885 and there are at
the present time 100000 names on
file in the city of Berlin. If a man
commits crime and escapes, should
ne return later, the police would ger
him for the event is filed in red ink
and no matter when he returns the
record is there against him. 1t is an
impossible thing to get away fom this
system even if the name be changed
for the records from the former place
of residence will show the truth.

changed and 1t is the mans duty to
know everyone on his beat. 1t Is not
an infrequent matter in Berlin for
the police to round up a crowd in a
tneater and take them to headquar-
terfs to see if they are all registered.
Identification papers are carried In
their pockets and If a man leaves
them home it goes hard with him.
Germany and Austria are the only
countries that carry this system.
"English police are highly efficient
Nut the police of Germany are super
efficient. To belong to the police force
in Germany a man must have served
in the army but in England he is gen.
orally taken from the country. The
latter are trained for three months
and then are considered reliable and
honest A London bobby carries no
weapons, only a short stick while the
German goes forth armed for war.
One certain instance that I can re-
member was a riot in Berlin where
he police charged the crowd only
later to find that they had cut up
several of their own men in plain
clothes as we'll as a number of by
ISLANDERS. .A
seen from the fact that at one time
during the suffrage upheaval a line
of these men was spread across
Whitehall to stop the women from
breaking windows. The women
charged the line several times but on
each occasion were only told to go
nome. Finally one Of the women hit
bobby over the head with beer
bottle and his Onlv words were If YOU
do that again I will have to take
you into custody
1--WE should get behind officials we
believe to be honest and back them
up The people Of New York are go
ing to back the present system and
unless they do they will never have
an efficient system. People Of this
country are only too willing to jump
on an officials neck"
This last statement caused a laugh
as Chief Rawlings kindly said 'Yes'
"Public officials Of this country are
ZIP against many obstacles and many
Of them are due to red tape. Civil
service is considered the lesser of
two evils and should be used more
about the country

Crime in EUROPE
and IN AMERICA
Raymond FoSdiCk Talks to Men at
South Church

About 100 men attended the supper
given by the Mems Brotherhood at
the South Congregational church
last evening. E., G. Babcock and
Clerk A. E. Magnet of the safety
board as we'll as Chief of Police w.
J. Rawlings were in attendance to
hear the splendid talk given by Ray
mond Fosdick Of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute of New York. Mr.. Fosdick is an
authority on prevention and detection
of crime and took for his topic "Po-
Icing a Big City" He told his
audience that America was far infer
ior to Europe in this respect and that
Europe was so far ahead that there
was no comparison in the technique Of
the two countries, not only in respect
to police but to the whole government
The president of the brotherhood
Raymond r. Fitzpatrick, first took the
floor and told of the work of the as
ISOLATION.
Mr. Fosdick said that he would take
for his subject 1.-THE Policing of a
Big City," but that in his preparation
he had not made allowance for the
IaCC lHdL the local CI1leI OIL ponce
would be there to check him up. In
respect to the general organization
this country is so far behind Europe
and the European municipality is SO
far ahead in technique that there is
no comparison of the two. Not only
in the matter of the police system but
in regard to the whole government
there are not the brains or technique
behind. In part he said:
'"The reasons why the American
| municipalities and police departments
make such poor showings are due to
| the facts that the people are not a
common race but Of a number of
| races. Take for example the city Of
| New York where the foreign popula-
| ton is A per cent or Boston with
| it's 35 per cent. The statistics of al
| American cities is high compared with
London with it's / IL per cent. or Paris
| with it's per cent. Foreign cities
| are homo1ogous. Take the crime OF
/ murder and we find that London has
twenty-four a year and Paris only
/ eighteen while New York has some
thing over 400. The city of Cleve-
land has three times more murders
than many of the larger cities abroad
| while New York has ten times
| more than London This not only
applies to murders but to all crimes
of violence. American cities are much
more disorderly, and this fact is due
to the mixed population. New York
City has a population of 100000
Italians and 100000 Jews while
London has only $4,000 of each in the
city.
I'm Brooklyn a space of three blocks

murders committed but any number OF
lesser crimes which could not be

these countries but the police were
