SWAT THE OLD HEN
SAYS e. A. BARTON

Fargo, N. Dew old hens deserve
to live on North Dakota farms this
winter. With tabulated results of
the states "boarder" hens on North
Dakota farms, indications are that
only the proven producers and the
hens needed for breeding stock in the
spring should be spared from among
those more than one year old, ac-
cording to c. A. Barton, poultry spec
ialist Agricultural College, under
whose direction culling demons trations
were held in 20 counties of the state
this fall.
"Culling time is over now,' states
Mr.. Barton, because good producers
may have concluded their years work.
Pullets cannot be culled until they
have begun laying, except the weak
and diseased individuals which should
be eliminated. A hens first year is
usually the best year, and only hens
with good records should be kept
more than one or two years. Disease
and housing conditions are important
items to watch during the winter.
Records from Ward County, for ex.
ample, show that when one-third OF
the hens in ten flocks We're culled by
their owners this fall, no change was
noticed in the egg production Of the
focks. At present pullets are be:
ginning to lay on many farms, ano
these young birds should make up the
bulk of farm f1ocks for the winter.

THE RAINBOW GIRLS
ARE PIONEERS

The Rainbow Girls Musical Comedy
Company, now playing at the Grand
Theatre, may we'll be termed pioneers
in the field of Tabloid as it was the
first organization of this kind in the
middle Northwest.
Harry "Ike" Evans, who for num-
ber of years played through this ter
ritory with large productions, fore
saw the opportunity for the miniature
musical comedies and made his plans
accordingly and little over two
years ago organized the Rainbow Girls
at the Strand Theatre in Aberdeen
South Dakota, where the company en-.
joyed a run Of over thirty weeks
consecutively. Since that time they
have played extended engagements ir
Sioux Falls, S. D.; Watertown, S. D..
Great Falls, Mont; Livingston, Mont.
Casper, Wyo.; Sheridan, Wyo.; Miles
City, Mont, and Bismarck, N. D.
The company has remained intact
with very few exceptions since
organizing. They are "up-in'' owe,
a hundred and fifty different plays anc
have over hundred sets of chorus
costumes, six dresses to a set. Twenty
different sets of scenery and numerou:
other essentials necessary in the worl
of producing their different programs
So far, during the engagement here
at the Grand, the company has beei
doing remarkable business, and Mr.
Evans thinks he will keep the com
pany here all winter.

"0LD WEST" PASSES WHEN
HOTEL AT BISMARCK BURNS
Sheridan House at Bismarck Center
Of Romance, on Edge Of
Civilization

Bismarck, Dec. 5.-When the Sheri
dan house burned to the ground here,
many Of the long time residents of
Bismarck felt that the 'old west"
with its romance of arms, cattle and
Indians had passed forever.
Built in the year 1877, the Sheridan
house was for years the center of the
romance of the west. Its year Of
building followed by single summer
the death in the Little Big Horn Of
Custer, the Beau Saber" Of the army
II was from this point that most o.
the punitive expeditions. as well as OF
missions of peaceful intent that fol
lowed that event, started into the
Indian country. While the records
that might be definite have been
burned, there is enough of certainty
in the minds of men and women now
living, to reconstruct part of that
life and romance. Many of the pi--
oneers who sought to build an EN-
pire along the Missouri are still
alive and from bits Of scrapbooks, q
satin menu card, "a knicknack from
some titled hand, a part Of the history
of the Sheridan house, and therefore
of the west, can be reconstructed.
Even Building Unusual
Even the building of the hotel was
not commonplace. Some time in rs
or '76 E. A. Bly,, who had associated
with him Mr.. Fletcher, an early
time congressman from Minnesota
brought $250,OOO in cash to Bismarck
In his time he erected three hotels,
one in Minnesota, the Headquarters.
hotel at Fargo, and the Sheridan
house at Bismarck. The last two
structures at least We're built on the
same plans. With the passing of the
Sheridan house by flames, all three
hotels ended their existence in flames
The Sheridan house was the pet of
its builder and he personally managed
it for several years. Mr. Bly, was a
victim of conditions and bad judg-
ment and he died penniless, his death
occurring in hovel near the hotel.
On Rim of Civilization
Coming from the cattle ranges, the
bad lands and forts of the west, the
Sheridan house was the first mark OF
, civilization. 1t was to these weary
travellers palace where bath and q
shave were among the luxuries of the
time. Setting their faces to the
; west, the traveller paused here for one
, last day in a world to which he was ac
, customed. In the first days of the
: Sheridan house, the Northern Pacific
: closed during the winter and opened
; with the beginning of navigation in
the spring. 1t was in this period
that many Of the best remembered
, occasions of the house were staged.
: In the days of Indian fighting, the
| old hotel welcomed and was host to
5 practically every man who was con
! nected with the conquest Of the Red
5 men. This was true, not only of the
< men who fought under the colors OF
+. the United States, but Colonel Walsh
, of the Northwest Mounted Police
! made it his headquarters for reaching
;. all Of the then Indian tenanted terri
: tory Of the Canadas to the north and
west.
