BEST ONE IN WHOLE STATE

The Enterprise has received the 9th
Annual Report of State Hospital No.
4, for the Insane, at Pennington, for
the Biennial period ending December
3lst. The report is handsomely print
ed by the Pennington Times. 1t con-
tains a report of the Management and
Organization of the Board; Report of
Board of Managers; List of Appro-
priations required; Report of Superin-
tendent; Report of Treasurer; Report
Of Steward; Statistical Table; Report
of Matron; Report of the Secretary,
and list Of the names of the en-
ployees. DR.. j. L. Eaton is the Super
intendent, and as the Enterprise has
before remarked, he has made a good
one-we might as well tell the truth
about 1.-THE best one in the whole
State. Heretofore, complaints were
continually going out, because of
something wrong that had been done
at the Institution, but since DR.. Eat
on has been in charge, not single
complaint have we so far heard. 1t
would be wonderful should there new
er be a complaint. He seems to have
done more with the amount of money
allowed than was the case with his
predecessors. State Hospital is a
pretty little city of about 1000 peo-
pie, nicely laid out, with fine streets,
and modern conveniences. The In
stitution owns 1892 and has rented AIT
acres more, which gives 800 acres,
now being cultivated.-Arcadia Valley

time. They told me of another time
when more than 10000 boys Of from
fourteen to twenty years Of age had
been carried away to Germany. When
| was In Lille on October % II had
very few inhabitants except old peo-
pie or very young children. Among
the few exceptions were girls Of from
seventeen to twenty years Of age nurs-
ing babies, which they told me were
the offspring Of German fathers, and
the pathos of the situation Of those
young girls is something shall never
forget.
And this condition at Lille Is the re-
suit of German ambition for world
domination, an ambition fostered
among the German people through
years of training, the ambition Of a
people whose boast has been that
might makes right"
am sorry to say have heard peo-
pie attempt to excuse this leoting OF
Lille on the ground that 1t could be
shown to be a war meAsure-the need
of Germany for this machinery and
for the labor Of the people deported
to Germany. But these people cannot
find any reasonable excuse for the war
itself, war that was started only for
the selfish purpose of selfish peo-
pie.
Shall Germany not pay for this con-
dition at Lille? Shall she not pay for
the machinery, that was carted away
or destroyed, for the people that were
deported? Shall she not pay for the
years of idleness of these factories,
for the years of idleness Of the en-
ployees denied the opportunity of prof
table employment? Shall she not pay
for the markets that have been de-
stroyed and which it will take years
to re-establish if it can ever be done?
No, Germany will never be able to
pay for all of 1t. She will never be
able to pay, and no sum of money
could pay for the anguish Of those
mothers who were forced to stand
aside and watch their sons and daugh-
tiers carried away into virtual slavery.
She will never be able to pay for the
anguish, the wrecked lives, of those

EARLY OATS SEEDING
is IMPORTANT

Be sure to plant the right variety of
oats, and to treat the seed for smut
before planting. These are the two
most important items in planting for
good yield, says w. C. Etheridge of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture. The right variety for
central or south Missouri will be an
early maturing one. For north Mis-
souri, sew an early or medium early
variety. The growing season for oats
in Missouri is limited so the early va
rieties prove best. Sometimes in un-
usually favorable seasons, late oats
will outyield early oats, but the early
varieties are to be depended on for
regular yields.
Perhaps the most popular early ma
turing variety of oats is the Kherson.
Others are the Sixty-Day and the
Early Champion. The best medium
carly varieties are the Red Rust Proof
and the Burt.
In treating oats for smut, apply the
same formalin treatment as that used
with seed wheat last fall, and apply it
in the same way. Smut is pretty well
established in the state and this pre-
caution is nearly as important as that
of getting good seed of the right va
riety. 1t is also important to get the
oats in early, at least by March 1.
Good soil preparation will increase the
yield. Flowing in the fall and disk
ing in the spring is good practice. If
the ground was not fall plowed, give
1t shallow disking this spring.

The Care of Raising
of Young Chicks

Every poultry raiser wants his
chicks to grow fast whether he plans
to get them on an early market or to
develop profitable layers. Early hatch
ing is one. of the first steps in this
direction, but the next, which is Of
equal importance, is proper feeding.
Undoubtedly chickens will grow fast
er when fed five times than when
few only three times daily, says poul-
try specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture, but it
should be borne in mind that more
harm can be done to the young chicks
by over-feeding than by under-feed
ing. Young chickens should be fed
not more than barely enough to sat-
isfy their appetites and to keep them
exercising, except at the evening or
last meal, when they should be given

Dear SIR
Az . county commissioners Of ~
year, experience in Burleigh eoun-
ty, ! want to urge your committee TO
act favora5ly upon and recommend
tho passage Of senate bill No. 168,
providing for one official paper in
stead Of three and providing for its
selection by the voters. The legisla-
ture should pass this bill with the
emergency clause and stop the use
less duplication in public printing
at once. 81
Burleigh county, as shown by the
attached statement prepared by our
county auditor, paid out last year for
commissioners proceedings and elec-
tion notices alone, not counting 9th.
or public notices Of lesser importance
about $5,000.O0. This means that II
the proposed law had been in force
last year, Burleigh county would have
saved $4,000 alone, and, figuring
other notices, it will mean an aver
age saving Of 100000 per year.
There are So counties in North Da-
kota and taking $4,000 as the aver
age, the new law will save the tax
payers directly $265, 100000 every two
years, and at the same time give the
people the same publicity in all mat
ters as we have been doing, except
that we would give it to them in tho
paper they themselves selected.
Aside from the saving, by taking
the public printing out of the hands
Of the commissioners it will elimin-
ate the fight that always takes place
between newspapers for this patron
age every year, which in turn caus-
es i'll feeling and strife in every
county of the state.

all they care to eat. Greater care
must be exercised not to over feed
young chickens that are confined than
those that have free range, rs leg
weakness is likely to result.
The Chicks First Meals
inexperienced poultry raisers are
tempted to feed chicks Immediately
after they are hatched, but this
should not be done. No feed should
be given before the chicks are SO or
48 hours old. During the first week
feed them stale bread, pinhead oat-
meal, rolled oats, hard-boiled eggs,
or johnnycake. Crumbly, but not
sloppy mashes, made by mixing with
milk, are considered valuable. Dur-
ing the second week add cracked
wheat, finely cracked corn and hulled
oats to the chicks ration.
After the chicks are ten days old
a good growing mash, composed of
two parts by weight of bran, two
parts middlings, one part coyn meal,
one part low-grade wheat flour or red
dog middlings, and ten per cent beef
scrap, may be placed in hopper and
left before them all the time. The
mash may be fed either wet or dry;
if wet, only enough moisture (either
milk or water) should be added to
make the feed crumbly. If this mois-
ture is not used hopper containing
bran should be accessible to the chick
ems at all times.
After the chickens are two months
old they may be fed four times daily,
with good results. When they are
three months old three feedings a
day are enough.
Use Hoppers in Feeding Chicks
AS soon as the chickens will eat
the whole wheat, cracked corn, and
other Enthusiastically in about 8
weeks-the small-sized chick feed can
be eliminated. In addition to the
above feeds sour milk, skim milk, or
buttermilk will hasten the chickens
growth. Growing chickens kept on
a good range may be given all their
feed in hopper, mixing two parts
by weight of cracked corn with one
part Of wheat, or equal parts of crack
ed corn, wheat, and oats in one hop
per and the dry mash for, chickens
in another. ~
The beef scrap may be left out Of
the dry mash and fed in a separate
hopper, so that the chickens can eat
all Of this feed they desire. If the
beef scrap is to be fed separately, it
is advisable to wait until the chicks
are 10 days old, although some poul-
trymen put the beef scrap before the
young chickens at the start without
bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats,
alfalfa, or clover, but the best place
to raise chickens successfully is On
good range where no extra green
feed is required. Where the chick

SYSTEMS OF FEEDING

There are two systems in use for
the feeding of fowls, in one of which
all the feed is given dry and in the
other Of which one or more of the
daily feeds consists Of a moistened
mash. For convenience they may be
termed the "dry-feed" and the
"mash" systems, although in the
dry-feed system . dry mash is often
fed. Dry feeding is used by many
where it is not convenient to make
and feed a moistened mash. The
greatest advantages to be derived
from the dry system are the saving
of labor and the lessened danger of
bowel trouble resulting from sloppy
or soured mashes.

EGGS ARE VALUABLE FOOD

Every egg contains about 6 or z
grams of protein of the same value
as that of meat. For this reason
eggs are widely used as meat substi-
tutes. Children and invalids often
find them easier to digest than meat
as they lack the fibrous connective
tissues that meat contains. Because
they supply iron ard phosphorus as
we'll as protein, the yolks Of eggs
should be included in the daily diet
of every child after the end of the
first year. The yolks also supply
growth-promoting fat soluble food
which adds to their value.

COMMERCIAL CHICK FEEDS

When one has only few chickens,
it is less trouble to purchase prepar-
ed chick feeds, but where a consid-
cradle number are reared it is some-
times cheaper to buy the finely crack
ed .grains and mix them together.
Some chick feeds contain a large
quantity of grit and may contain
grains Of poor quality, SO that they
should be carefully examined and
guaranty as to quality secured before
purchase.

Irwin, of Henry County, Ind, and
nine other boys in his neighborhood
organized a sheep club. A few in

HOUSING GROWING CHICKS

Growing chicks should be provided
with house that will give them q
place to stay in bad weather and at
night. No particular style Of house
is recommended, but it should be so
built that it will provide ample venti-
lation, dryness, sunlight, freedom
from drafts, and be so arranged that
it can be cleaned easily and frequent
ly.
The lumber from piano and dry
goods boxes can be used in building
such house, and when covered with
ordinary roofing paper so as to keep
out the, rain, will make desirable
quarters. 1t is suggested that such
houses be built on the colony plan,
so that they can be moved from place
to place, thus providing the chicks
with fresh ground to range over.
Elevating such house 6 inches above
the ground will help keep the floor
dry, by means of the circulation of
air, and such space will also provide
shade for the chicks. :,
In placing the chicks in their grow
ing house for the first time, it is best
to confine them for several days by
erecting temporary yard wherein
they can run for or days, until
they learn where to return when the
fence is removed and they are allow:
ed their liberty. Care should be taken
not to crowd the chicks by placing
too many in any one house. When
the chickens cover the greater part
of the floor at night, it is an indication
that they. are too crowded. At such
time they should be thinned out and
placed in another house.

when the molting season arrives.
These early pullets produce in plenty
during the period when eggs are

order that the late fall and early
