The Right Way
to Shock Grain

1t is very unwise to grow good
crop of grain, cut it with self-binder
and then put it up in shocks that per-
NIT it to spoil. It. is not uncommon,
however, to find field after field of
grain of good quality that has been put
up in poorly made shocks. In many
instances the shocks are too small to
stand up we'll. In others, the bum
dies have been carefessly thrown to-
gether and the shock in settling has
drawn out Of shape and gone down
with the heads of the bundles resting
on the ground. In great many
cases the shocks are left uncapped.
Under any Of these circumstances the
grain can not help deterorating in
quality, if allowed to stand in the
shock for any length of time
In order to save grain good system
of shocking should be learned and
then conscientiously followed.
One of the most satisfactory shocks
to build is what is known as the12-
bundle, round shock. 1t will answer
for any kind of grain. It is built by
setting up three pairs of bundles in a
row, preferably starting with the cen,

Senator Martin Thoreson

sgGr x s - = - :
Fingal Herald Friday afternoon at
2 o'clock there was laid to rest in the
Sheyenne Valley church yard, the re-
mains of Senator Martin Thoreson
whose death was caused by the acct
dental discharge of a gun.
Mr.. ThOreson came to this country
from Norway when young man and
by his industriousness accumulated
considerable wealth, having two sec
lions of land in Nelson township, farm
lands in Canada, was stakeholder
in the First National Bank in Fingal
and had very extensive investments
in Kathyrn, being president OF the
Farmers State Bank and connected
with other business enterprises there.
In 1904 he was elected representative
from this, the 38th legislative district,
and served three successive terms, and
in 1910 was elected state senator
which position he has held until the
present time. Thus it was that for
fourteen years he was favored with
public Office by the vote Of the people
who knew him best.
But he is gone. A wife and four
sons, John NJ, James, Ole and Arthur
look backward to those happy years
when as husband and father he was
a generous provider for those nearest
his heart.
None ever entered his home without,
a warm welcome nor left without feel
ing the warmth Of his hospitality. He
crossed the Great Divide in his 61st
year, and his name and the fruits of
his labors as pioneer and home
builder have been marked upon the
sands of time.

Destroyers' Needs
Are Supplied at Sea

With the American Destroyer Flo
tilla in British Waters, July 1--we
can make most anything a destroyer
wants-from an anchor to needle"
An American sailor, doing his bit
aboard the big parent ship that looks
after the brood of destroyers, delivered
himself of this tribute to the great
war vessel as he filed away at a big
pieces of brass. The metal had been
cast right there on the ship to make a
propeller for small boat and he was
now taking off some of the rough
edges.
The destroyer that wanted that pro-
peller didn't have to go ashore to get
the work done. Instead the order was
sent to the floating workship which
was turning out the screw in quick
time and with the very best guarantee
of superior workmanship.
On another deck William Cline, eX-
chef at some of the most expensive
hotels in America, was standing at his
table ladling food for lusty young
American sailors. Stewards were FL
ing to his table with empty trays, hav-
ing them reflled, and then scurrying
back to the messroom where hungry
youngsters moved in cafeteria line
to get their lunch.
The parent ship supplies the destroy.
ers with bread. There is a barber
shop fitted out with white enameled
equipment. There's laundry, bank
postofice, miniature ice cream
factory, an electrical shop, a carpenter
shop-there's even Jail for offending
citizens of the floating community.

United States Has Plan
10 Beat the Submarines

New York, Aug. 2. Plans to safe
guard American ships from submarine
attack have been worked out by the
naval consulting board and special
committee appointed by Major General
George w. Goethals, it became known
here tonight when W. l.. Saunders,
chairman Of the board advised war re
lief societies to adopt the system as
2 safeguard for their shipments De-
tails of the plan were not made public.
Mr.. Sanders, in letter to John
Moffat, secretary of the federal coun-
Gil of allied war relief societies, ex-
planned that his suggestion was
prompted by the sinking of four re-
lief steamers within three weeks. He
said that the plans had been approved
by the federal authorities who are now
putting into effect through the war
risk insurance bureau a premium on
ships according to its provisions.
Mr. Moffat said the question of ship
ping now was the most serious prob
lem confronting war relief organiza-
tions.

How United States Marines

Port Royal, S. c., Aug. How to

done by Sitting the bamboo, stuffing

Will " Buy War Horses H
Direct From Farmers

u. Horses purchased in North Dakota
for the United States expeditionary
force will be bought direct from the
farmers and not through army con-
tractors, by the plan being worked out
by Thomas Cooper, directors OF the
agricultural extension department, and
several horse breeders in the state.
Secretary Of War Baker has APP
proved the plan, after six-weeks'
negotiation by Director Cooper. In
structions as to methods for making
horse sales direct from the farmer to
the war department are being sent to
the county agricultural agents, who
will help in organizing the farmers
for the work.
It is estimated that 250OO0 horses
and mules will be required to equip
the contingent of the army that has al
ready been provided for The war de
partment has previously purchased
the horses through contract, the CON
tractors sending out buyers to get the
horses at the lowest possible price.
Director Cooper believes that through
direct buying the farmer will get
more for his horses and that the gov
eminent will get better quality OF
stock at reasonable price.
The Plan Evolved
Under the plan, farmers wishing to
sell horses to the war department, will
organize and ascertain the number of
horses, measuring up to war depart
ment specifications, that they can fur
nish. They then must agree on the
price of offer, and communicate this
price to the remount officer of the dis
trict in which the state is located.
North Dakota is in the northern re.
mount zone, with headquarters at Fort
Keogh, Montana.
II the offer from the farmer is en-.
tertained the remount officer will ad.
wise the farmers when inspectors will
come and see the animals. The stock
will be taken to some good railroad
point, where they must be assembled
In sanitary stable.
Director Cooper has instructed
county agents to organize farmers
who have horses for sale as soon as
possible. Farmers in counties not EN-,
ploying agents may get information
regarding methods of sale, specifica-
lions, ETC., from Director Cooper or by
communicating with the war depart.

Dead l.||| Body B Is Found
Near Railroad Track

jamestown, Aug. 3.-The body of an
unknown man, about Is years of age,
was seen lying some distance from
the ties on the Northern Pacific main.
line track about mile and one half
east of jamestown, this morning. The
body was noticed by a conductor on
a neast bound train, and the body
was brought to Flint's undertaking
rooms and an examination made by
Police Magistrate Murphy, acting
coroner. The man was apparently
injured by falling from a west. bound
train at point where curve in the
road exists. He was evidently la
borer, coming into the country for
work. He wore pair Of brown
jumpers, a grey cap, and his hands
were calloused with hard work. He
had on his person 30 cents in mon
ey, package of cigarets. No mark
or paper of any kind was found to
identify him, except the initials on
his shirt which appeared to be laun-
dry mark Of N. T. w. He was about
five feet nine inches in height, weighed
about 100 pounds, had light brown
eyes, and scar under the lower lip.
He was injured on his. head, the left
arm was broken at the shoulder and
the collar bone was broken. A severe
injury to the right side of the head to-
gether with the shock of falling from
the train, had evidently caused the
mans death. It is supposed that he
fell from No. last night although it
is not known whether he fell from a
freight train or a passenger.
In the absence of any further in
formation, the remains will be bur
led here.

from one place to another they are apt
not to breed well, and, other conditions
being equal, they breed better the third
season they are IN locality than the
second.
Breeding geese should have consider
able exercise and be kept moderately
thin in flesh through the winter by
light feeding and free range of facili-
ties for swimming. The Emden geese
lay few eggs but make mothers. Geese
are graZers and too much grain is not
good for them. To insure fertile eggs
they should have an abundance of
green food and have access to a pond
or other body of water. If this is not
possible tub of water set level with
the surface of the ground may be sub
stituted.
Very early Matching Is not desirable,
since the goslings do not thrive well
unless they have an abundance of
grass. Tor the first two or three days
they should be given nothing except
grass and water. Later a little feed
of scalded cracked corn should be CIV
en- in addition three times day. The
goslings are liable to be overcome by
the heat, and should always have some
place Of retreat where they may es-
cape the suns rays. The eggs may be
Matched advantageously under hens,
but the goslings should be immedi-
ately taken away from them. They
may be brooded for a short time in
outdoor brooders. and after that con-
fined in houses at night.
