a wind-proof joint. Metal battens are
used and the entire surface is after
wards painted.
Along the north side fence is a shed
roof to give further protection against
wind and also to keep one side Of the
yard dry during a rainy time. The
south fence, on the barnyard side, is
made Of heavy boards, four and one
half feet high.
The bull stall is only about eight feet
square, made like box stall with a
manger across the front. A drop door
across the whole length of the manger
may be opened and hooked up at feed
ing time or during pleasant weather.
This door is also used to reach In to
snap the bull lead into the ring in his
nose. There is a plank extending
along the front side of the exercising
yard fence, so that the attendant may
lead the bull to the breeding pen with
out entering the yard.
The plan of arranging three gates
at the far corner of the bull pen is
an ingenious safety device. There are
two gates between the bull and liberty,
both opening in. If by any chance the
fasteners should be unlocked, the
weight Of the gates hold them shut,
as the incline Of the hinges pitches to-
wards the posts. The fasteners on all
three gates are bolts that may be
reached from the raised plank steps.
The exercising yard is "a feet by
80 feet. This makes good quarters for
the bull during the greater part of the
year. The small box stall is made
warm and comfortable for cold wealth
er. A sliding door operated by
lever from the plank step opens or
closes the bull stall. When it is nee
essary to clean the stall or the yard,
the bull is fastened into the breeding
pen.

GOOD AND INFERIOR HORSES
to Sircs at Present Time-Differ-
ence in Price.

There has never been a time when
the sires to. which mares are to be
bred should be more carefully con-
sidered than the present year. The
last five years have seen a gradually
increasing difference between the
price Of good and of inferior horses.
During the last year those horses
and mules which were good enough
to do some job well have found ready
sale, while others have been drug
on the market, and have lost money
for the men who produced them.

America has known. The natural CON.

America has known. The natural com
ditions peculiar to Western Canada
and so adaptable to grain growing, has
been an insnrmountabIe barrier for her
competitors to overcome. In the last
few years the yields Of wheat and
oats per acre have surprised the agri-
cultural world. AS much as sixty BUSH
els Of wheat per acre has been grown
on some farms. while others have fur
nished afidavits showing over fifty
bushels of wheat per acre, and oats SIS
high as one hundred and twenty BUSH
els per acre. One reputable farmer
makes affidavit to a crop return of over
ffty-four thousand bushels of wheat
from thousand acres While this LIS
rather the exception than the rule,
these yields serve to illustrate the fer
tility Of the soil and the possibilities
Of the country, when good farming
methods are adopted. Western Cam
ada can surely lay undisputed claim to
being ''The Worlds natural bread bas-
ket. "-Advertisement.

PROPER EXERCISE FOR BULL
Keep Him in Separate Paddock Where
He Will Always Be Under Con-
troll, Is Safe Plan. ]ss

When you have made your pur-
chase of a good baby beef sire, don't
keep him shut up without exercise,
and by all means do not underfeed
him. More bulls are spoiled by I'M
derfeeding and lack of exercise than
by overlooking, but in seeking to have
your bull get plenty Of exercise don't
let him run with the cows. Keep him
in separate paddock where you will
always have him under proper control.
It's the safe and the economical plan
to follow.

COLTS PAY FOR HORSE WORK
Fine Points of Farm Management Illus
trated by South Dakota Farmer
Uses Mares.
(By w. A. OsTRANDER, South Dakota
State Co1lege.)

(By w. A. OsTRANDER, South Dakota
State College.)
A farmer in Sphinx county, South Da-
kota, was shown last spring that he
should get his horse work done cheap
er in order to make his farm pay bet
ter. So he sold two geldings, aged
seven years old, for $3.50, and bought
two mares of about the same age and
quality for 1925, which raised two
colts. On Analysing his business, we
found that his horse work cost him
practically nothing for 1916. The colts
paid the bill. This fact is convincing
his neighbors that there is something
in the finer points of farm manage
ment.

 She carefully pinned her calling card inside one of the socks. Natural ly, she expected a letter in return. t came, and she pictured a tall, hand some khaki-clad Adonis, carefully penning a missive of thanks which might lead to-who knows what?
 She quickly tore off the "Opened by Censor" label, and this was what she found written on the letter inside:
 Socks received, lady;
 They almost fit.

 And one for mitt;
 hope to meet you.
 When I've done my bit
 But where in hell

LONGEST LAW SUIT ENDS.
Unique Battle Over S2,5O0,00O i,
 Gold Finally Decided.

Londcn, Feb. 1.-The longest an1 one of the most unique lawsuits ever feard in English courts has just been decided. It involved ,he ownership of $2,500,000 ill gold which the Anal gamated Properties of Rhodesia, Ltd. owners of a million acres in Rhodesia claimed that the Globe and Phoenix Gold Mining Co.,, which owns the richest gold mine in the world, had taken from the Rhodesia property. As if to be consistent the court occu- pied two hours in delivering judg- ment.
 The case lasted IA days and cost $750,00O. One witness was on tho stand 16 days. and another who was on the stand almost as long died Two other men who were interested in the case died before it was concluded.
 More than 50,0O0 questions were put to witnesses and answered. In the final summing up counsel for de- fendants spoke 45 days. Chief counsel for the defense received fee of s5.- GOO and his "refresher" or daily charge was $500.
 The documents in the case were SO voluminous that two large rooms were crowded with maps, assays and reports. The proceedings were en- livened by stirring scenes between opposing counsel, and apologies were ordered by the court.
 In deciding the case. Justice Eve dismissed the action on the ground that the Amalgamated properties had failed to prove that the gold was ex- tracted from it's mine which adjojined that of the Globe and Phoenix.

WAR FORGED UPON US.

Hope of the United States keeping out of the world war almost disap' peared last evening with the receipt of report that the American steam ship Housatonic had Teen torpedoed and sunk near the Scilly islands by a German submarine.
 Seemingly this was the first of the "overt acts" which President Wilson declared in his announcement to con- gross of the breaking of relations with Germany, would precede his again going before congress to ask authority "to use any means that may be necessary for the protection Of our seamen and our people,"
 One little ray of hohe was the at titude of state department officials who pointed out # would depenl upon the circumstances (of the sink ing) whether the incident would af- feet the present situation"
 But this is faint hope. The Housatonic was sunk in accord with orders given the German submarine commanders days ago, indicating. as German officials have stated Ger many had counted the cost of a break with the United States, and was pre- pared to pay it in the hope of shor.- ening the war"
 Since the United States has taken the plunge by the severance of dip- lonlatic relations. it cannot refrain from the next step if provocation $ given. And that provocation will he given, if, indeed, it has not already been given, even the most staunch ad vocate of peace dares not hope.
 That the people of America will stand behind the president loyal!v is already evident--none who really know tho American nature ever thought otherwise. Oily a few who misinterpreted the signs when differ ences of opinions as to the govern ment's course were voiced could be- lieve that there woull be any holl- ing back by any American when once the die was cast But for these mis- guided individuals, t may never have been necessary to take the action an nounced yesterday.
 If it is to be war, Germany and the, world will find united America supporting the government with every ounce of manhood, every dollar and every resource. And for an unpre- pared country, they will find that the United States gets into fighting trim very promptly. We've got the brains, the resources, the courage and the will, and there'll be results, big and prompt, now that the people realize there's real work to do. It will be d different story to the rorder mobili- xation, never taken seriously by mill lions.
 President Wilson has displayed patient restraint. He has sought to avoid war by every honorable means, not thru fear but because of real:-
