Packing Profitable.
With business conditions as they
are at the present time the packing
industry is a very profitable business
for the farmer, officials Of the com

the work on the new plant will be
rushed to completion as rapidly al
possible. At the present time there
are 507 stockholders Of the Northern
Packing company in North Dakots
and Minnesota who stand to realize
exceedingly well on their investment
in a short time. The beginning Of
operations by the company marks ar
era OF unprecedented opportunity fol
the farmers Of this and neighborine
states, company officials maintain, the
packing plant being a conceded boon
to the live stock industry.

THE A

the plant has been planned to meet
the latest and best in the packing in
dustry.
Ideal Interior.
The new packing plant will embody
the best and most modern ideas for a
practical interior arrangement. The
importance of a practical arrange
mont is evident, when 1t is considered
that the labor cost in a packing plant
is s~eventy-fve per cent Of the money
expended in converting the raw ma
terial into a finished product; the
other twenty-five per cent is for adj
mi~nistration expense. interest, depre-
citation Inc insurance.
The manager Of the Northern Pack
ing company, Mr.. H. r. Elliott, has
made a wide study Of packing plants
throughout the country and in work
ing with designing engineers, Croft
& Boerner, is bringing to Grand
Forks the most modern, fireproof and
sanitary plant anywhere in operation.
To produce the best results In packing
house planning. without unduly in
creasing the cost, requires an, intimate
knowledge Of the conditions under
which these plants are operated. The
technical problems to be considered
and the selection of materials and
equipment best suited for the purpose,
are Of such importance hat only
those thoroughly trained by expert
ence and investigation can produce
satisfactory results.
Most OF the large packing houses
now in Chicago, and other parts OF
the country, are the result Of a gra-
dual growth and enlargement. Start
Ing with small buildings, others have
been added from time to time, often
without regard to the best ultimate
result in economy Of operation. There
are many Of these establishments or
which enough money has been spen,
in additions and repairs, to more thar
cover b cost of an entirely new
plant. The profits Of such plants are
substantially reduced by high operat.
ing costs, upkeep and insurance.
Fine Buildings.
The Northern Packing COMPANY
plant will be composed Of five mar
buildings. namely. slaughter-house
cooler building, manufacturing and
stock yards. The killing department,
is located on the top floor Of thu
slaughter-house. Stock San be cas-.
lily drive to this height without de.
trtment to their condition by mean.
OF a gradually sloping runway from

ment, he live stock is conveyed by it,
w effort to a point from which the
dressed carcases and all by product
can be transferred by gravity, or min.
tmum labor, to their proper places Of
storage or manufacture.
The dressed hogs, hanging from
overhead rails, r run from the kill.
ing floor and hung in a large open-ai,
cooler which extends as a bridge be
tween the slaughter-house and thu
cooler building. The function of thi.
open-air cooler is to remove most o,
the vat heat from the scalded hog,
and thus save considerable refrigera,
ton in the cooler building.

London, July 2.-Nearly 100000

fact that for the years 1918 and 1914

RECOGNIZED WORK OF BIRDS
sponded to Appeal to Save Their
Friends From determination.

Three hundred million dollars
worth of the cotton crop was damaged
by the cotton boil weevil in the last
year and birds, especially quail. con
slider such fare treat and have n
fOndness for Kidding the farmer of
the enemies of his crops. What the
good birds do in tina destruction Of in
sects injurious to MANS interests is
little short OF marvellous.
One year at the headquarters of the
National Audubon society n wire came
stating: Birds are dying in Kansas,
Nebraska and Missouri in great num-
bers-result of sleet and snow" In
response to the wire 5000 worth of
grain, seed and chaff was distributed,
together with grit, to the birds and
saved many of the insectivorous birds
and game birds. The postmaster gen
eral ordered the rural mail carriers
to distribute the feed free of charge.

FIRST STARTED PUNCTUATION
Venetian Printers Were the First to
Develop Rational and compre-
hensive System.

The first to develop rational and
comprehensive system of punctuation
were the famous Venetian printers,
Aldus Manutius, his son, Paulus, and
the latter's son, Aldus, Jr. Aldus Ma
nutius, also known as Teobaldo Ma
nucci and Aluo Manuzlo, was not only
the founder of the famous Aldne
Press and one of the greatest scholars
of his time, but he was the father of
punctuation I'm modern times.
Aristophanes, the ancient grammar
rian, invented system Of punctuation,
but ii was wholly lost during the Dark
Ages, and no attempt was made to re-
vive 1t until the reign of Charlemagne.
Under the latter's direction, Warnes-
fried and Alouin formulated a punctu.
alton system, but there were few rules
governing the use of their signs, and
they were practically worthless. Al
dus Manutius and his successors of
the Aldine Press increased the num-
Der of punctuation marks and estab-
lished fixed rules for their use. Later
grammarians have introduced some
improvements, and the rules of punctu-
alton have been changed somewhat
and new ones added, but the punctua-
ton system of the Manutius formed
the foundation for that now In use.

WONDERFUL FEAT OF NELSON
How a Writer Got Things Mixed on
Incident in Life Of Great
Admiral.

It is, of course, necessary that writ
ers of historical "reminiscences be mas
tiers of certain amount of accurate
information about their heroes II they
are to avoid mistakes. There is an
amusing instance of how one writer,
lacking such information, got things
mixed with reference to an incident in
the life of the great Nelson.
Not so long ago reviewer in Lon
don paper, criticizing a book on Nell
son, related on his own account the
following episode Of the eminent Brit
ish naval commander:
"While In chase Of Villeneuve's
French fleet he was informed Of the
enemy heaving In sight at which in
formation Nelson evinced the highest
satisfaction and gleefully rubbed his
hands,"
whereupon some one Immediately
pointed out that this incident had &C.
Cured in 1905, and that Nelson had
lost his right arm In the attack on
Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, In 1797-eight
years prior to his pursuit of Vile
neuve's feet.
