SENATOR WOULD PROVIDE
AGAINST SHORT WEIGHT

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 10.--Senator
Cahill evidently fears that North Da-
kota may be Short changed. Yester-
day he introduced in the S. b. No 24S,
which would require railroads to in
stall in all stations located at or near
the borders of the state through
which freight is shipped from and into
North Dakota track scales which may
be used in weighing grain, livestock,
coal or other freight in carload lots,
at the request Of any shipper, and
without cost to the shipper. The bill
would require railroad companies to
provide competent weighmaster.

LADD TO
CONFERON
GRADING

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 1O.-President
Ladd of the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college was wired an invitation
to meet today with the joint senate
and house committees on warehouses,
grain and grading for a discussion Of
the possibility Of establishing a North
Dakota standard grade for wheat.
In the committee session held last
evening particular emphasis was
placed upon the important part which
a terminal elevator would play in
preventing the mixing of North Dako-
ia wheat with inferior products from
other states, which is said to occur in
the big terminals. 1t was urged that
the North Dakota wheat in terminal
elevators within the state could be
kept up to standard. and that there
could be created, particularly in east
ern markets, a steady demand, at
fancy prices for guaranteed, unmixed
Flickertail grain.
o. A. Drown and Norman Melton of
Dickinson, who have been looking up
basic statistics, also will appear before
the joint committees. Senator browns
bill, providing for North Dakota
standard grade Of wheat, will be taken
from the committee on agriculture
and will be brought up for considera-
ton by the committee on warehouses,
grain and grading, which hopes to
work out terminal elevator plan
which will be acceptable to everyone.

DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING

Out Of the Ground.

Nothing adds more immediate value
to our farm land than accessibility to
markets, such connecting link between
the farm and market being a good
road. The early dragging Of our dirt
roads is certainly to be commended.
Just as 500 as the frost begins to
come out of the ground, the farmer
should commence dragging.
This is not a laborious, job, a good
team can put the road between him
and the first crossing toward town,
even If half a mile away, in good con-
dition in a half day. and he will save
many times the cost of such labor or
expense during the year. Besides the
additional value it adds to the farm.

owe to every community, and especial.

EGGS ARE MOST PROFITABLE
Should Be important Source Of In.
come From Farm FIock-Sell
Broilers During Spring.

Eggs for market should be the most
important OUR of income from the
farm flock, according to NJ. c. Kilpat-
rick of the Ohio college Of agriculture.
There is a steadily increasing demand
for fresh eggs Of good quality at profit
able prices. In addition eggs are pro-
duced with less labor than other poul-
try products and are more economical
~ marketed.
Poultry for market should be the
second source of income. Under pres
ent conditions the larger part Of the
poultry meat produced on most farms
is a by-product produced and sold with
little regard to the cost Of production.
The poultryman should plan his work
so that while producing eggs for mar
ket he may obtain considerable rev.
enue from the sale Of broilers during
early spring.

MATE BREEDING soWs EARLY
Many Advantages Derived From Pigs
Farrowed In February Or March
Best Prices In September.

There are many advantages In
breeding sows for early farrowing.
Pigs narrowed In February or early
March come at ut season when farm
ers can give them better care. By the
time forage crops become available.
the pigs are of such size as to make
best use Of them, and thus to attain
greater size for early fall market.
Hogs are usually highest In price
during September. Eariy-farrowed
pigs attain marketable size by that
time. ~
Late-farrowed pigs do not reach
market weight until December or Jan
uary, when pork prices are usually the
lowest.

EGGS AND MARKET CHICKENS

American markets prefer fowls that

Quirements are the Wyandottes, Ply.

says a writer in Indiana Farmer. One
who wishes to combine the selling Of
eggs and market poultry will make no
mistake If he chooses one Of these
breeds.
The smaller breeds Of fowls-those
Of the Leghorn class-are not as de.
sirable as a market fowl, for the rea-
SOM that they have small bodies and
do not .fatten readily. Some markets
discriminate against Leghorns, quite
often the prices offered being four or

Ave cents under the figures given for
the larger fowls. On the other hand.
If one expects to obtain the greatest
possible income from eggs, 1t certain
ly would be advisable for him to
handle the smaller fowls. As a class,
Leghorns lay better than the larger
fowls and consume less feed. A Leg
horn pullet will reach laying maturity
a month earlier than will pullets OF
the larger breeds.
The larger breeds, such as Lang
shans and Cochins. are not raised ex-
tensively for the reason that they are
considered poor layers. In some Sec
tons Of the country, where large
roasting chickens and capons are In
demand, they are probably grown.

I'm the next war-the nation which
drinks the least alcohol will be the
winner" These are the words Of the
German emperor-quoted from his
speech at the dedication Of the naval
academy at Murvik, November Il,
1910. This speech, geographically re-
ported, was published with Official
sanction and attracted world attention.
The events of the past few years
add enormously to its significance. Ad-
dressing the cadets Emperor William
said:
"Now I will give you a little warn
ing, in passing, on a question which
lies very much ON my heart for my
nation. This Is the question of al
cohol and drink. As you will your
selves, observe in the course Of your
time on board, the service in my navy
has reached a degree Of strain which
can hardly be surpassed. To be able
to endure this enormous pressure In
time of peace without wearing out, so
that you may be fresh when a serious
call comes, Is your duty. The next
war, the next naval encounter, will
require of you sound nerves. These
are undetermined by alcohol, endan-
gered, from youth up, by its use. You
will later have opportunity to e the
marine targets and the action Of mod
ern guns on ships, and will be able,
therefore, to infer the conditions In
battle. You will see horrible devas-
tation and all kinds of pictures. Then
the word will be, strong nerves and
cool heads. The nation which drinks
the least alcohol will be the winner
And that, gentlemen, should be you!
And the crews should be given a good
example, for that works most power

to 1t, and that it be seen to. that the
use of alcohol be not considered one
Of your privileges. Already Good Tenn
plar lodges Of Blue Cross unions have
been projected or formed in my navy.
Individual officers and some hundreds
Of men have Joined them. I hope you
will do all you can to encourage the
men to enter. I need only to point to
the example of the English navy,
where 10000 men and officers have en-
tered Temperance organizations) to
the great profit Of the service. It IS
q question of the future for our navy
and people. If you educate the peo-
pie to give up alcohol l shall have
sound and sensible subjects. It Is q
great coming question, for when the
men pass out Of the service they will
bring these ideas to the country at
large. If you stand for these prlnci-
pies my people will be raised morally.
