Of the year, the poultry yard, when
properly managed, is perhaps the most

where the feed is produced on the

Washington, Feb. 24.-Van
H. Marning, director of the
bureau of mines, stated today
that his department will in
vestigate the question of pro-
ducing benzol from the Ignite
fields of North Dakota, similar
to experiments carried on by
Germany, which, cut off from
the gasoline market by the
present war, has resorted to the
production of benzol from the
Austrian Ignite mines in order
to secure fuel for air crafts and
motor vehicles, with great sue
cess. Mr. Manning said that if
the plan is adopted in this coun-
try, it would aid greately in
reducing the price of gasoline.
During the last six months,
the bureau has investigated
benzol production from Ken
lucky and Utah Ignite but the
experiments have not been
successful and it has been dec
ided to try North Dakota lig-
mite. ..s.

Can Meat For Summer Use.

1t is not generally recognized
that there is an important
winter as we'll as summer can
ming season, if an adequate
meat supply is to be provided
for the family during the sum-
mer months when salt meats
are only available to those dist
ant from market. Miss Helen
J. Sullivan, Agricultural Col
lege, N. d. gives the following
directions:
If beef has been killed, part
is preserved for the winter use
by freezing. The remainder,
including the inferior cuts, has
been canned successfully by
the following method: Strip
the meat from the bones, use
ing that which is we'll streaked
with fat, or add sufficient fat to
each can to give it richness
and flavor. Cut the meat into
suitable sized pieces, pack close
ly in glass jars; add salt and
pepper to taste. Fill the jar
almost full of the meat, addin g
no water. Put on new rubbers
which have been boiled for five
minutes, and the tops. If glass
top jars are used, adjust the top
spring only. In case of screw
tops, screw the top on until it
touches the rubber. Put the
jar into a boiler or any recepta-
Gle having false bottom. and
tight cover, which has in it
enough cool or luke warm
water to cover the jars. Boil
from three to four hours. de-
pending on the age of the beef,
counting time when the water
begins to boil. Remove from
the boiler and tighten cover,
DO not invert the jars as it will
disturb the layer of fat on top,
The canned meat may be
used cold for meat loaf, hash
and stews of various kinds.
Fish, chicken, pork, and all
kinds of meats may be canned
in this manner. The Extension
Division of the Agricultural
College has on hand directions
for utilizing the bones and
scraps in canning soups. These
may beobtained on application.

A glance at the score of the

give one the idea that it was

the last that Minot managed to
run away.from their opponents.
Both teams had considerable

roofing was so uproarious that
the players were unable to

often the game would be in

time before the officials could

LADD IS CHOSEN
A. G. PRESIDENT
J. h. Worst SummarIly Dismissed From
d, Presidency by Board OF Regents
on Tuesday.

J. H. Worst, for twenty-one
years president of the state
agricultural college at Fargo,
was on Tuesday summarily dis.
missed from the position by
the board of regents, following
a tempestuous controversy be-
tween the institution head and
the board.
DR.. F. E. Ladd, head Of the
chemistry department at the
college and state pure food in.
spectator, was i'm uediately
elected by the board to succeed
Mr.. Worst and he has accepted
the position.
The newly elected president
has acquired a national reputa-
ton in his prosecutions against
food authorizations and enjoys
the absolute confidence of the
people of the state. The selec-
ton is generally conceded to be
an extremely wise one, as DR.,
L-add is said to possess unusual
administrative ability.
The dual system in vogue at
the college during the last two
years has been abolished and
the original plan of making the
president the responsible head
of the institution is restored, an
arrangement which meets with
the most hearty approval of
Director Cooper OF the Better
Farming association.

BANNER WnITBY
TO ADVERTISE
Progressive Farmers OF Whltby Town
ship 10 Launch Advertising Cam
palgn For Actual Settlers.

Whitby lays claim to being
the banner township of Peerless
Bottineau county. Itcan truly
claim to be the most progress
i've township in the entire state.
Whitby has some of the best
and most successful farmers in
the northwest. But they want
more of them. As a result it
has been decided to launch an
advertising campaign in the
east, setting forth the many
advantages held by this stown-
ship for actual farmers. The
township is sparsely settled,
being divided up into large
farming plants and the plan is
to sub-divide these farms into
smaller tracts of quarters and
half sections, thus securing e
more actual settlers for the
township.
The plan proposed is truly
cooperative in it's operation,
each farmer dealing directly
with the buyer. Advertis-
ments will run in some of the
large farm papers of the east
directing inquiries concernin g
Whitby township to the town
ship clerk, who will send a
list of the land owners in the
township who have land to sell,
together with other informa-
ton regarding the township
and county. Future transact
ions will be conducted direct
between the prospective buyer
and seller.
If the plan works out we'll.
which there is every reason to
believe it will, other townships
will likely follow in the wake
of Progressive Whitby.
