FACTS AND SUGGESTIONS
FOR POULTRY RAISERS

alone of poultry and eggs in North
Dakota in 1916 amounted to $1,198,-
10000, in 1917 $1,554, 1885, an in
crease of 80 per cent, in 1918 to ST.
1863, 9,767.33, an increase of So per cent
and at this rate in 1919 the sales must
have reached $3,5OO,OOOOO
If the sales amount to $3,50O,0OO,
we are producing at least $6,000,000
annually.
Records show that 60 per cent of
the eggs shipped from the state in
1919 were declared unfit for food by
Government food authorities. This
condition must be remedied at once,
or we will have no market outside
the state for our eggs and the results
will be disastrous.
Undoubtedly, fertile eggs and either
lack Of information, carelessness, or
wititul neglect in the care and hand
ling of eggs are the chief factors in
causing this tremendous loss and
waste.
In order to reduce or eliminate this
waste, protect the producer and the
consumer, and to guarantee a greater
profit return from the industry we
make the following suggestions:
1. Sell, kill or confine all male birds
as soon as the Matching season is over.
Produce only infertile eggs for mark
ct.
z. Hatch early. Feed we'll and wise
ly. Gull continuously. Select carefully.
House properly. Market surplus poul-
try early. Provide plently of clean, dry
nests in clean, dry, light and we'll
INITIATED house. Gather eggs twice
daily to insure best results in all
weather.
Mark or stamp eggs with date laid.
Grade all eggs gathered, particular
ly as to size, color and shell formation.
Eggs weighing "a to 80 ounces per
dozen are worth more and should
bring more than those weighing only
from 20 to "a ounces, or even less.
Market only first class uniform
eggs of the "a to 80 ounce type and
market, at least, once a week. Do not
mark eggs from stolen ness.
Use at home, all under or over sized
dirty, deformed, thin shelled or other
wise unattractive eggs. Grade careful
ly and expect better price
Keep eggs in cool, clean, dry place
away from any strong odor and out of
direct sunlight.
Do not wash eggs for Matching,
market or for preserving. They will
not natch or keep as well.
Every farmer should have his own
egg candles and candle all doubtful
eggs. Be sure every egg is in first
class condition. Standardize the prod
ucts and be sure it reaches the mark
ct in first class condition. It will pay
we'll.
Let US have standard bred poultry
on every farm, and work for a great
ct production of better and more uni
form eggs, carefully marked, graded,
packed and placed on the market as
standard product.
To get the best results we need and
must have the cooperation OF all pro
ducers, handlers and consumers OF
consumers of eggs. We should have an
organization in each county or In
groups of counties to stimulate, pro
mote, develop and direct the poultry
industry and the proper handling OF
it's product.

Pioneer of SlOpe Dies

Mrs. Marie Louis Picotte, Van So
len, born in what later became Dako-
ia territory in 1881, died at Bismarck
this week. Her mother was Sioux and
her father was French. She is credit
ed with having on several occasions
saved the lives of the few white set
tiers who were in the territory thru
her influence among the Sioux. It was
in her house that young Custer cap
tured Rain-in-theFace, which event
led to the Little Big Horn massacre.

grade number for the closing of this
years course.
Four numbers were secured this
year. The failure Of the train service
in December cost US one number. Of
the four numbers we have had but
two and because Of frequent shifting
of dates, we have been obliged to pay
for the opera house two nights
that we had spoken for but were not
able to use. The University has found
this line of work so difficult and the
results so unsatisfactory that they
will not attempt to carry it on next
year. It is regrettable that they can
not render this kind Of service as it is
not money making proposition with
the University. As it is, they lose
three to four thousand dollars each
year and receive in return, mainly
kicks" they say. Therefore they will
close out on the lyceum work for the
time being. ..s

Bismarck Turning to "Socialism?"
The citizens Of Bismarck who have
consistently opposed state ownership
Of public utilities are singing diff
ferent tune. They are inclined to be-
lieve that public ownership is no so
bad in some instances. You see that
great servant Of the commonwealth,
Alex Mckenzie, owns the Bismarck
water plant and the service is abom-
Unable. So even those citizens who
denounce the terrible Nonpartisans
are petitioning the city commission to
buy out Mckenzie or build a new way
ter plant.

Mrs. Howard Cook Is
Recovering From Crash;
Cost Husbands Life

Mrs. Howard l. Cook. of near
Greensboro, is reported recovering
from the accident which cost her hus-
band his life when the automobile in
which they were riding Sunday morn
ing was struck by fast Pennsylvania
mail train at the Centerville cross
ing.
Mr.. Cook, who was driving to the
home of his mother, Mrs. Lizzie Cook
McConaha, because of her illness. had
etopped to allow a fast train from the
west TO pass. Immediately following
the passing Of the train he started
across the track.
The flagman at the crossing vainly
endeavored to get Cook to stop. 1t is
said the victim did see the warning
and applied the brakes, but the car
slid directly upon the tracks in front
of the eastbound train.
1t Is believed that Mrs. Cook tried
ITO jump from the automobile, but she
