Food Attracts Ants.

The surest way to keep house free
from ants is to leave no food lying
about on shelves or in open places
where they can reach it. Ants go
where they find food, and If the food
supplies Of the household are kept in
ant-proof metal containers or in Ice
boxes, and If all food that may happen
to be scattered by children or others
is cleaned up promptly, the ant nui-
sance will be slight. Cake, bread, sugar,
meat, and like substances are espe-
clally attractive to the ants and should
be kept from them.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some available food
material, and IL such materials can
be kept from living rooms and Offices
or scrupulous care exercised to see
that no such material Is placed In
drawers where 1t can leave an attrac-
tive odor or fragments Of food, the
roach nuisance can be largely restrict
ed to places where food necessarily
must be kept.

CHOOSING BEST
BREED or HOGS
Whichever One the Farmer De.

There is no best breed of swine.
Some breeds are superior to others in
certain respects and one breed may
be better adapted than another to GER
tain local conditions. The essential
point is that after the farmer has once
decided upon the kind of hog to raise
he should stick to this decision and
develop the chosen breed to its highest
possible standard. It is not feasible
for one individual to raise several DIFF
ferent breeds and bring them to per-
fection. In making his choice, too, the
farmer should be guided by the kind
of breeds already established in his
locality. If he selects one Of these
he is not likely to make mistake.
Two Types Of Swine.
There are two distinct types of
swine, namely, the lard and the bacon
types. Swine of the lard type far out
nl.lnber those of the bacon type in the
United States. The lard type is pre-
ferred by the people, of this country,
consequently the majority Of feeders
produce rapid-fattening heavy
fleshed lard type. The bacon type is
not raised extensively in the United
States. The production of choice ba-
con is more general in those sections

Of Learning Habits Of Really
Remarkable Bird

Until comparatively few years ago
the habits Of the famingo, without
doubt the most remarkable of all llv-
ing birds, were tantalizlng mystery
to n0turalists In 1904 the first photo
graphs of nesting flamingoes were
secured by DR.. Frank M. Chapman Of
the scientific staff Of the American
museum. The group was constructed
from photographs and notes made
during his Investigations and from
specimens secured by him. Flamngoes
occur in the warmer parts Of both
hemispheres. The American flamingo

genus-ranges from the Bahamas and
southern Florida to Brazil and the
Galapagos.
For nests flamingoes erect curious
mounds Of mud, from s to 13 inches
high, and measuring about % inches
In diameter at the base and IA inches
across the top. A depression, about
one inch deep, in the top Of the nest,
holds the single egg, laid In May, Both

young are hatched they are covered
with down like that Of young ducks.
They develop their brilliant plumage

y the North Dakota legislature
stand, at the special election held last
Thursday. There is now nothing to
stand in the way of the Nonpartisan

A number of the bills referred did not
pertain to the league program in any
way whatsoever. We refer to the

most important bills. as far as putting
the league program into effect, are the

been defeated However, all measures
stand with fair-sized majority, con-
sidarably smaller than that with which
the league won the election last No

lively that the majority of the voters
are willing to try out the program. If
any part Of the program fails, it can

very radical, involving a vast amount
