Water Essential.

When it is realized that 81 per
cent of milk. is water, when drawn
from the COW, it will readily be seen
that an abundant supply of pure,
fresh water should always be avail
whether used before or after milk
ing.) 1t has been found that the de-
vices supplying water in front OF the
cow all the time, SO that she may
have it whenever she wants it, will
produce the largest yields of milk.
It is also essential that the water be
warmed in winter time. at least. to
the extent of taking off the chill. 1t
requires; heat to warm this water,
by the use of an oil stove or some
warming device. than to furnish feed
for the COW with which to warm it. >
There are many devices on the
market for. keeping water from freez-
ing in the tanks, and they are well
worth the cost of installation and
maintenance. Where ~artesian wells
are available the question of keeping
the water supply in good condition is
either run through the tank and out
at some waste, or if this is not pos
sible. "a turn or two of the pipe
through the tanks in which warm
water from the we'll circulates. will
keep the temperature from reaching
the freezing point, and if the tanks
are well banked and covered, the wa
ter Is kept in very good condition. In
many instances, such arrangements
require only a little time and atten-
ton. -.
.a Shelter.
The dairy cow: because of the fact
that she puts the products from her
feed into the milk pail instead of in
the form of flesh and fat on her
body, needs better shelter than the
f%attening stock. It is not necessary
for this shelter to be expensive, but
it should be adequate to the needs of
the climate, and should insure the
cow being warm and dry, and having
plenty of light and pure air. The
best winter Temperature for dairy
barns is between fifty and sixty de-
grees. If the temperature goes much
above and below this. there will be a
decrease in the yield of milk.
There is perhaps no consideration
that needs greater attention especial
ly in the Northwest, than provision
for proper ventilation, particularly Of
dairy barns. There are probably only
only a few barns hat would come
up to the specifications as to light and
ventilation. The dairy barn, in order
to produce the best results, should
provide a cubic foot Of air space for
each pound of weight the cows con
fined to the barn, and. good ventila-
ton should insure this air being kept
pure without forming drafts. 1t is as

A LONG CAMPAIGN.

The Herald has been carrying on a
campaign against Socialists in North
Dakota for some six years. When
Mr.. Townley n the more or less
eminent Socialists who were then his
associates were starting their organ
ization nearly six years ago, this pa
per had some very definite ideas as to
what was the meaning of their move
ment, n what its results would be.
1t made no secret of its opinions. On
the contrary, it stated them often
and with emphasis. A good many
people believe hat The Herald was an
alarmist, and maintained that it
would do no harm to give the Social
lists a chance, just to see what the eff
feet would be.
Socialism has had its chance. It
has taken control of the state govern
ment, n while it's hold has been
shaken, it is in control of the princi-
pal administrative offices today. We
are experiencing the results. We have
seen seeds of dissension sown by
hired agitators from the four corners
of the earth. We have seen the prin-
ciples of government on which the
state and nation stand flouted and
ridiculed. We have seen the poison
injected into our politics exhibiting it.
self in words n acts of sedition when
the nation was engaged in war. We
have seen our state departments filled
with incompetents whose only rec
o~mmendation was that they were po-
l~itically useful. We have seen the
funds of the state squandered in the
maintenance Of In army of political
strikers. We have seen an impudent
effort made-and partly successful,
to prostitute the whole system of tax
alton in the state to the use of a So
cialist faction. We have seen the
credit of the state destroyed, its peo-
pie loaded with excessive and needless
taxation. All this has been brought
about in less than six years of Social
list activity, and while six years may
seem long for one political campaign,
the time has flown rapidly, and The
Herald is quite willing to continue
the campaign for as many more years
as may be necessary to keep the peo-
pie informed Of the facts.

IF THERE WE'RE NO STATE
BANK.

Some conception can be formed of
what the Bank Of North Dakota has
done to the state by imagining what
would happen if by a little stroke of
bookkeeping that institution could be
wip ID out Of existence and the de-
posts now standing to it's credit,
whether in its own vaults or else
where, were apportioned to the pub
lie bodies to which they belong.
That process would not render
available all the funds, less losses,
that the Bank of North Dakota has
handled. For the state institution has
improperly invested a large proper
ton of its deposits in permanent
form, 50 hat even if the bank were
liquidated in the manner suggested,
there would still be experienced a
condition Of frightened credit due to
this practice. But aside from all this,
what would the result be?
The local bank holding state bank
deposits would hold the same funds
as the property Of it's county, town
SAAP VI SShooA UOdIus IL ICSO IGdT no
sudden demand for withdrawal, such
as impends while the funds are con-
trolled by the central institution. The
local treasurers would not call for
more money than they need for the
transaction Of current business, and
these demands could easily be met.
h money paid out in treasurers'
checks would pass into the hands of
local individuals, and, through the or
binary processes of trade, would find
its way again into the local bank. A
normal and natural condition would
be restored.
There would be endorsements.
Where the Bank of North Dakota
has advanced excessive sums to IA
vored local banks, and those banks
have let it slip through one channel
or another into the Golfers of the
N~onparttsan league, to aid in carry
ing on the work in Kansas or Ne
braska, there would be some difficult
ty. But, while cases of this kind are
numerous, there would still remain
enough available liquid funds with
which to carry on a large volume of
business. The resumption of this
particular circulation would restore
confidence, and other funds now held
out of circulation would begin to
move.
That has been the situation in the
past, before we had a Bank of North
Dakota. That we have not that con-
dition now is due to the fact that the
Bank OF North Dakota was forced
upon us. We must get rid Of IT.

NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE.

There cannot be too strong insist
ence on the a c that in the straight
ening out of the affairs of the state
there can be no such thing as COM
promise. 1t is possible always to COM
promise on a number of details when
there is substantial agreement on the
principles involved. Blu in this case
the application of the principles of
sound and safe government involves
the absolute obliteration of the agen-
cfes which have threatened to involve
h state in ruin, and on that there
can be no compromise.
Despite the essential soundness of
the state, its credit is non-existent
and its affairs are al a standstill. Re
sponsibility for hat condition rests
Immediately on the management of
the Rank of North Dakota, and there
the Bank of North Dakota until there
is a change in the personnel Of the
board which controls it. That fact has
been made 90 plain for discussion.
The Bank of North Dakota must go
out of business as a commercial insti-
tuition. So long as it remains in its
present form it menaces the credit
and security of the state. Operated by
men of a different type it might be
made to avoid the scandalous methods
which have brought it and the state
into %disrepute, but no matter by whom
operated, its form of organization
makes it always possible that it will
be used as somebody's political in
strument.
1t would be just as improper, just as
Objectionable, to have a great central
bank, controlling all the public funds
Of the state, and welding proportion
ate power, used for the promotion of
the political activities Of the l., v. A..
as for the promotion Of the political
activities Of rampant Socialism. And,
with unlimited power vested in a small
political body, there would always ex-
ist the temptation to use it in that
manner, and always there would exist
the suspicion that the power was be-
ing SO used.
The Bank of North Dakota must be
taken out of the field of commercial
business, and it canot be removed ex-
cept by changing the political control
of the state. With that change must
go the elimination of the whole indus
trial and commercial program which
has been planned and partly put into
effect by the Socialist administration,
except those items of legitimate ex-
Fermentation to which the state is
already definitely committed, and
which it is in honor bound to carry to
their proper conclusion.
