eat the table scraps. A family Of
three or four ought to have enough
scraps left to feed hens, the chicken
expert wrote. We've been Hoo>eriz-
ing and can safely say that what
scraps are left from an editors table
in war time wouldn't keep chicken
louise alive, let alone chicken.
We investigated various breeds and
thot at first Of getting some game
cocks. We'd have gotten our money
back in entertainment if we had. A.
ter reading half dozen poultry jour
nails we decided on Buff Orpingtons
We swindled farmer out of some
hens for dollar or so apiece and
swindled A. F. Laity, a we'll known
South Dakota poultry specialist, out
of a couple of full blooded cockerels,
which cost us 1913 apiece. The 10
cents was for war tax, we presume.
We will have to say this for Mr..
Lalty, however. He picked out a
couple of as fine birds as ever came
to this state. They stand as high
as a calf and they surely rule the
r0ost.
We really have not found it much
trouble to feed the chickens in town
as long as the neighbors don't kick
too hard. There's nothing as appe-
tizing for chickens as the stuff that
the neighbors plant in their gardens
Our chickens are Of the neighborly
kind. They are gentle and are real
pets. We hope the neighbors will
cultivate their acquaintance and learn
to like them. One of our neigh
bors conduct a hardware store. He
suggested that we build nice high
chicken tight fence. He has sug-
gested this several times, in fact
Wife says that if we put off build
ing the fence little longer, perhaps
he'll give us the wire and come over
some evening and build the fence.
What to feed the poultry after get
ting it, was a proposition. A kind
hearted feed dealer suggested a new
kind of feed which costs only $475
per hundred Then we had to have
oyster shells, sand and a special kind
Of food for the baby chicks. AS a
boy, we'd seen our folks give the
chicks corn meal mush, but the new
tangled foods are different. Chick
ems appear to have different set of
digestive organs from those we'd fed
IS years ago. Now you've got to
give them butter milk and give them
nothing but dry feed with q little
green stuff cut up fine. They like
cut up onions, which makes them
strong.
There are some other things that
we have learned about raising chick
ems and we're learning more every
day Our better half who appears to
know more about the game than the
writer, has shipped in a couple of
hundred baby chicks from some place
down the line, and this seems to be
the quickest way Of getting results.
Still, we never started anything
yet we didn't try to finish. We have
some high class birds, also some high
priced birds and if anyone wants to
place an order for falls delivery from
the present outlook, we can come
out for about five dollars apiece. Rails
ing poultry in town isn't what it is
cracked up to be.

Upton to Speak in Wyoming.

F. C. Upton, of the Minot Motor
Sales Co., who recently returned from
a four months sojourn in France, has
received many calls to speak in the
interests of the Red Cross movement
since his return home and has contrib
uted his time and labor most willing
ly wherever it has been possible for
him to do so and now a call comes
from the state of Wyoming for him t.
come out there and address meetings
at Cody, Powell, Basin and Worland.
Mr.. Upton will leave on the 22nd to
fill those dates. Every night from
now until May 81 is filled and in all
probability Mr.. Upton will accept the
invitation of the Red Cross headquar-
tiers at Minneapolis for series Of ad-
dresses turnout the northwest, as he
has been urged repeatedly to do, and
in that event his time will be pretty
well taken up for the balance Of the
summer.

OLE KIN L DIS ON
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Old Time WaterwOrks Superintendent
Buried Sunday--Had Been One of
the City's Most Faithful En-
ployes for Many Years.

Ole Knudson, for many years sup
erintendent of the Minot city water
works department, passed away at his
home in this city Friday evening after
an illness lasting several weeks.
The funeral was held from the
home Sunday afternoon at $3.50 o.
clock and from the First Lutheran
church, Rev. Mr.. Gullixson being in
charge. The remains were laid to
rest in Rose Hill cemetery. The pail
bearers were men who had long been
associated with Mr.. Knudson in the
employ of the city and comprised VIM.
Brakeman, II. E. Wheeler, A. D. Hag-
enstein, DR.. F. L. Householder, Geo.
Wartchow and E. Wymore. The fu-
neral, which was largely attended,
was directed by j. D. Van Fleet &
Co. The floral tributes were very
beautiful and consisted of dozen or
more exquisite pieces.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, one son, Stanley, who is in the
army, and one daughter, Mrs. Chris
Ingle of this city, and two girls at
home.
Ole Knudson was one Of Minot's
very best citizens and the city has
never had a more faithful employe.
He was waterworks superintendent
away back in 1902. The waterworks
system was poor and gave Mr.. Knud-
son much trouble and often for weeks
at a time he would be compelled to
sleep right beside his pump. Thanks
to this faithful man, the water supply
was ALWAYS at hand,
Mr.. Knudson was So years OF age
and was born in Norway. The whole
city mourns with the wife and chill
dren over the departure of this excel
lent citizen.

Mr.. Johnson died of tuberculosis
Some two years ago he went to the
Woodmen sanitarium and returned
apparently well, but that insidious
disease had fastened it's tentacles up.
on him and last year he was again
iona in the hope that change Of
climate would afford relief. In this
hope he was disappointed and return.

to do with developing tree culture in
this vicinity. His marriage to Miss
Clara E. Erickson took place Nov.
6, 1907 and he is survived by wife
and four sons, Allen, age 9, DelWin,
