average fleece weighs from seven
to eight pounds. and represents
quite an income.
Sheep Profitable.
A small flock of sheep will con-
vert much of the roughage of the
farm into meat and wool. It will
attack weeds with vigor. Sheep
will do we'll on the millions Of acres
Of hilly. rocky ground in America.
all of which is unsuited for other
kinds of agriculture. A sheep will
produce a fleece in the spring worth
from $500 to $500. and a lamb
crop in the fall worth from $500
to $25 90. Sheep can be fattened on
a bigger percentage Of roughage
than any other animal, and little
grain and shelter is needed to keep
a flock of sheep in good condition.
These are the principal reasons
why such large premiums are to be
awarded at the show to interest
farmers in this locality in the rails.

observed by the legislatures and courts in. time of peace. Those
elements which chafe at constitutional restraint are at the present
time too much inclined to view this adaptation of the enforcement
Iof the law to the necessities of war conditions as a permanent step
to an ultimate abrogaion of constitutional limitations. They are
therefore, taking advantage, so far as they can, Of the present ex-
Iigencies, to spread the clarnor for establishing a government by

Burnquist, won out by over $4,000 votes, and yet that Lying
sheet tries to convey to the reading pubic-or rather the non

Bless you soul, No. The business men of Devils Lake or any
other city in the state are not against the farmers. The business
men of this city have always stood ready and willing to do any
thing they could to benefit the farmers, and that is just the con-
dition today. The business men of the city have strained their
credit in the past to carry the farmers until fall on their accounts,
and Devils Lake merchants in the past have paid the farmers
more for their produce than they could get elsewhere, and as a
result farners for twenty five miles away have brought their but
ter, eggs and other produce to Devils Lake, as they could get a
better price for it here, and that is the condition today. The bust
ness man is decidedly NOT against the farmers, but as a majority
they are against the planting of Socialism in our state, and the
dictatorship of A. C. Townley, who has no other interest in our
state than to extract money from our farmers, and giving them
nothing in return. Any farmer who thinks Devils Lake people
are against his interest should get that out of his head.
