sued July 81, and is now effective.
Under the previous ruling of the
bureau such stores were compelled
to close at 9 o'clock on Saturday
nights throughout the year. The new
ruling gives an additional hour dur
ing the months the farmers are
busiest in the fields and are therefore
unable to reach the city until late.
The original request of the associa-
ton. was that the Saturday night
closing hour be advanced to 10

the habits of city workers of attend

WAGE FOR HARVEST.
LABOR Is SET BY
COUNTY FARMERS

The harvesting and threshing wage
scale for Grand Forks county was set
at a meeting held Tuesday afternoon
in the court house by the Valley
Threshers' association. Officers were
elected including Frank Mcmahon of
Orr. president. and A. B. Murphy of
Niagara, secretary. Members OF the
a of directors were also named
as follows: Henry Thompson, Rem
ODDS: j. Nelson Kelly, Grand Forks;
John Bolman, Thompson; Claude
Burgett, Orr, and Ed. Gallagher,
Thompson !,
After considering the matter OF
wages for both harvest and thresh-
ing labor, the following daily wages
We're decided upon as the maximum
Shockers, So; field pitchers, 1925;
drivers Of bundle teams, $780,; spike
pitchers, 81; teams, 50 and cooks. SIS
per day. No wages were set for on
CINE and separator men. The above
rates represent slight reductions from
the wages in effect last year.
Rates for threshing were not def
nitely fixed, but the following prices
where the crop is good, it is believed
will be charged by rigs with crews
Oats,2s cents; barley, II; wheat and
rye, IA, and flax, Is cents per bushel
Where only the engine and separator
and their attendants are furnished
the probable rate will be 8 cents pe1
bushel for wheat and rye and 6 cents

LIVING EXPENSES
Failure to So Provide For Home

Too many farmers neglect to avail

there is little danger of the meat spoil
Ing. Hogs may be butchered earlier
In the fall than either beef cattle or
sheep, as large percentage Of the
carcass can be cured. Following are
some points to keep in mind in slaugh-
stering hogs: :sS55 q 5s5
l.. Select young healthy hogs,
weighing around 200 pounds, as they
are easier to handle, yield medium
size cuts. and a reasonable amount OF
lard.
r 2. Keep off feed "a to 80 hours be-
tore killing, but give the animals all
the water they want.
3. Don't bruise or whip the animal
before killing, or excite in any way,
for poor carcass will result.
4. Don't expect to do : good job
with only the "old butcher knife "A
sticking knife, skinning knife, q saw,
a scraper, a hook Of some sort, and
gambrel are necessary.
g.. Sticking without staining or
shooting produces the best carcass.
6. Scalding is best done when the
water Is about 1902 F. Put some soap
Or I've in the water to remove the dirt
and scurf.
z. If barrel is used, scald the
rear end of the hog first. q.
8. Use plenty Of water.

10. Split the carcass and allow am.
pie time for cooling before cutting up.

The opportunity for getting started
in beef cattle prod uction Is very good
at the present time, in fact there have
been few times when one could get
into this type of livestock pr0duc tion

stock has been low in price and in
many cases purebred stock has sold
for less than its real worth. It would
not pay to use just any kind Of stock
for this type Of livestock production.

Birds entered ia utility classes must
