Poultry, hogs, and dairy cattle, to
give best results, must be housed,
especially at night, as the weather
gets frosty. All buildings used for
housing such animals should be put
in good condition, and where necessa-
~ remodled along approved lines.
Farmers contemplating the con-
struction of new farm buildings
should seek the advice of county
agents or those who are prepared to
give expert Information on the con-
struction of farm buildings.

IL Mems MIX.

1--WE are loosing every year S00,-
600 children under five years old, a
third of whom die from preventable
causes" Thus speaks Mrs. Ira
Couch Wood chairman of the Child
Welfare Committee for the Illinois
Council of Defense Continuing Mrs.
Wood says:
zone of the three things is the
matter-either they are not getting
enough food or they are not getting
the right kind of food. or they have
physical defects which could be rene
died to make for proper growth. We
have a very small percentage of peo-
pie who can not secure enough food.
1t is not a matter of poverty but of
ignorance. Parents need education
and re-education to bring home the
fact that there are standards in child
development and that the proper
food in the majority of cases will
bring the child up to the standard.
"Our children should be one hun
bred per cent perfect in this great
free country where we have boasted
that every man had his chance. OF
course some will be handicapped by
heredity, but if our children are fed
we should be the foremost
nation in the world. 1t means milk
and butter fat and plenty of green
very little meat, and you
get sound diet for children"

The Fall Planted Onions.

Like the spinach, onions will be all
the better if mulch of stable manure
is placed between the rows. Indeed
now is the time to cover the whole
garden thickly with manure and turn
under in the spring and work in a
heavy application of acid phosphate.
Always the use of plenty of acid
phosphate or basic Stag on the garden
to balance the manure, for the use
of manure alone, as is the rule in
many old gardens, tends to an ex-
cess of nitrogen in proportion to the
phosphates and heavy LEAKAGE and
small root growth.

Husking Corn.

The delay in husking and hauling
corn in the fall of 1917 and the ex-
IRENE winter following, not only
caused considerable damage to a part
of the corn crop, but also was a
source of much anxiety to farmers
as a labor problem in late winter and
early spring. Farmers should profit
by last seasons experiences and get
corn husked and in the crib before
severe weather arrives.

Feeding Value OF Soy Beans.

The feeding value of soy-bean seed,
which contains from 80 to 46 per cent
protein, is very high and compares
favorably with other concentrated
feeds. The growing of soy-beans
will enable the farmer to produce at
a moderate cost at least part of the
high-protein concentrates necessary
for stock feeding and milk pro-
duction. When fed to sheep and
hogs the beans can be fed whole, but
in general it is preferable to crack or
grind them. Practical experience
has shown that it is necessary to mix
the beans with corn or peas first and
then grind together into meal. Owing
to the high content of protein, soy
bean seed should always be fed in
mixture with a less concentrated
feed.

have been or about to be strapped,
though still capable of doing several
years of useful work if only small
percentage of their original cost were
expended upon them for repairs. The

machines is during their period of

Honor in last evenings Forum but
through some oversight YOU have
omitted the name Of the first North
Dakota soldier, Private Lewis GUS
ley OF Wilton, North Dakota, killed
in action on Saturday, Feb. ?.
call your attention to the editorial
appearing in The Forum under the
title OF Lewis Ousley, Hero" under
date of February 6, 1918. You will
undoubtedly receive immediate no
tice Of this from relatives and
friends of Mr.. Ousley at Wilton but
fearing that they might overlook the
matter / thought it no harm for my
self or anyone else to call your at
tention to. it.
Yours very truly,
JOHN o. HANCHETT.
Harvey, NJ D., March IA.
The forum is grateful to Mr..
Hanchett for calling its attention to
this oversight. 1t was almost an in
excusable one, but it proves in it
self the necessity of just such
Roll Of Honor as we plan to compile
il the state Is to remember its
heroes. The Roll Of Honor is not
confined to those who perish with
the American forces. We want the
names of North Dakota boys who
have given their lives with Canadian
Expeditionary Forces and others.
The record should be a complete list
of North Dakota men killed in &C

NEWS AND COMMENT

AL Jolson. the comedian, used to
sing song that began something
like this:
Il leave the sunshine to the now
ers;
L leave the springtime to the
trees. ETC., when leave the world
behind"
1t was based on the viii Of a Chi
cago attorney who died penniless
many years ago and left q unique
will bequeathing to men and women
everywhere, the right to enjoy the
various beauties of Nature.
David B. Newcomb, who died in
st. Paul few days ago, left an
equally picturesque will, but fortu-
nately for his heirs he was able to
impress upon them his good wishes
with more substantial legacy.
Mr.. Newconb had no immediate
dependents. and his modest estate,
consisting of a few thousand dollars,
was divided into small requests Of
$50. or 800. or $3.50. or $500 and
distributed among his friends and
business associates.
To a stenographer he would leave
$3.50 with "A husband worthy of her.
To a clerk he would leave $3.50 with
a WIFE. To a friend he would leave
500 with long life and happiness;
to another, $50, with children to
make happy his old age. Hs
Most Of the beneficiaries did not
know of their good fortune until they
read the will in the newspapers.
None of his close friends and asso-
ciates were forgotten. and to each
there was a kindly humorous
message of love and affection, and a
tiny bequest.
1t is surprising that more wealthy
men do not follow Mr.. Newcomb's
example. No form. Of will would
cause more widespread happiness; no
form of will would keep him en-
shrined in the hearts Of his friends so
long. Many a wealthy man will
spend thousands Of dollars for a
monument OF marble, when the same
sum in small requests with friendly
messages accompanying them, would
keep him enshrined in the hearts
Of his friends for their lifetimes.

THE SLEEPING GIANT sTIRs.

Great sleepy Asia is stirring rest
lessly in her age long sleep, and
there are hints Of wars and revolu-
tlons.
Only the fringes Of this vast,
mysterious continent are known to
the outside world, but the war has
reached even to this Sleeping Giant.
In Palestpe, Arabia, and MesopO-
tamia, the Turks and British have
long been fighting.
Farther north between the Caspian
and the Black sea, the Turks and
Russians have fought, and now this
territory has been coded to the Turks
by the treaty signed at Brest-
Litovsk.
Along the line Of the trans siber-
ian railroad the Bolshevild aided by
released German prisoners, are fight
ing the forces that seek to establish
a new government, and the question
of whether or not Japan shall inter
vene is agitating the diplomats of
the civilized world.
But the latest report Of revolution
airy activity comes from Tibet, in
the very heart Of Asia. This myster-
ious, little known country, lies be-
yond the almost inaccessible
Himalaya mountains which form the
northern border Of India Tibet is
bordered on the south by India, on
the north and east by China and on
the northwest by Turkestan. It lies
on the great tableland of Asia, and
virtually none of the country is less
than II, 900 feet above the sea level
Although it is about the latitude Of
Naples, Tibet, owing to its great aIti-
tude, has almost Arctic winters, and
the atmosphere is very dry.
The country nominally is under
Chinese rule, but the government is
in the hands Of the Buddhist priests.
The spiritual affairs are in the hands
Of the chief priest or the grand lama,
and the political affairs in the hands
/ Of the second priest. While the coun-

populated, having less than 100000
inhabitants.
Chinese troops have thinly gar
risoned the country and judging from
the brief dispatches telling Of the
revolution, it is a revolt against
Chinese rule. The country has been
overrun with brigands, and as a re-
suit of this disorder the revolution
lists have been able to get control Of
one OF the provinces. Nothing IL
known Of their aims, or the purpose
OF the revolution.
Five years ago nothing would have
been considered Of less importance in
America than revolution in Tibet.
But in America today every move is
viewed as to it's importance IN world
politics, and the internal political
situation Of Tibet takes on an i'm
mediate interest.

THE MESSAGE FROM FRANCE.

One precious copy OF "Vol. 1, No.
1" of The Stars and Stripes" has
been handed to The Forum.
1t is dated France. February 8,
191s."
I'he STARS sndtStrtpes' ispublished
"by and for the American Expedi-
tfonary Forces" 1t is the official
newspaper Of the American army in
France, and the first number is Of in
tense interest.
It is a most creditable newspaper,
both geographically and editorial
Iv. Il has eight full sevsn-column
pages. with news and editorial col
umns. advertisements, pictures and
comic features. Il would be very
creditable daily for any city OF $4,000
to $4,000 in America.
Anyone who thinks the American
soldier loses his sense Of humor at
the front, should read the column
entitled Fashion hints for Dough
boys"
Anyone who doubts the stories Of
German atrocities, should read the
account Of the young French girl
who was violated by a German Of
hoer, branded with his iron cross
. and forced to act as his personal
servant.
Anyone who doubts that the men
are very much in earnest about their
job, despite the surface light heart
edness, should read the editorial
columns.
Anyone who doubts the fact that
America Is really a factor should
read the account Of the building of
a great "overseas Pittsburgh" of
the worlds largest cold storage
plant, Of the mammoth warehouses,
and Of the railroad enterprises Of the
Americans,
Anyone who doubts that the boys
can take care OF themselves should
read the message TO the folks back
home" which warns against be-
lievinE all the alarming stories about
the soldiers. Here is one paragraph:
"The percentage OF venereal diseases
in this army OF yours. is three
teuths Of one per cent-the smallest
percentage on record for any army
or any civilian population in the
worlds history. It is sober army
and a we'll behaved one"
Anyone who doubts that ultimate
victory will rest with the Allies
should read the seven-column head
line across the sporting page-sure
they have a sporting page and 3
good one. 1t says: Allies the favor
ties in betting odds on the big
worlds series"
Anyone who could read the whole
paper without setting his teeth and
+ resolving that he will give all that
he has and all that he is IL needed
to help win the war, Is not an
American, not even a man.

little nation, whose motto is: 'LUn-
ion Fait La Force" is to suffer the
crowning insult Of having an old and
forgotten division Of her peoples en-
phasized. Old sores are to be re-
opened and rubbed with salt to irri-
tate them. Old differences Of religion
and language are to be capitalized by
the Hun, so that a new country Of
Flanders may spring up to protect
Germany's western flank.
Germany knows that an outraged
world will not permit her to keep
Belgium as a German province to be
ruled by one Of the Hohenzollern
sprouts, but if Germany can divide
Belgium and leave the little nation
torn with civil strife, she will do it.
Germany's swinish shouldering Of
weaker nations from her path. is al
most less forgivable and less toler-
able than her actual physical brutal
tiles.
