evidence, no one being found who
would swear they saw a gun on Mr..

day comes around; but the roller
jewel of watch makes every day, and
day after day, $4,000 impacts against
the fork, or 157,68O,000 blows in
year without stop or rest, or $685.
100000 in the short space of twenty
years.
These figures are beyond the grasp
of our intellects, but the marvel does
not staD here. 1t has been estimated
that the power that moves the watch
isD equivalent to only four times the
force used in a flea's jump; conse-
quently it might be called 4-fiea
power. One horsepower would be
sufficient to run 27O million watches.
Now the balance wheel is moved by

A VARIETY OF FEED for tn

A VARIETY OF FEED for the
gifts and sows improve their condition,
A little we'll cured alfalfa hay, with
plenty Of leaves makes good rough
age. When feeding one pound Of al
falfa to a brood SOW or gilt, she
should have one pound less of grain.
If well grown gilt, weighing about
275 pounds, is not eating roughage,
she should have about 1/2 pounds
OF grain daily. This grain ration may
be one-half corn, as corn usually
cheapens ration. The ration then
should be: corn, 2,2 pounds; middlings
2.2; tankage L pounds. The .yearling
,, sows should have pound less daily
and the older sows a trifle less. Best
results are obtained by feeding dry
feeds.
IF THERE IS DRY TIMBER near
and the Seeding can be dug up and
transplanted from it, no bette: trees
for the farm shelterbelt can be had,
, according to Extension Circular 43,
"Shelterbelts for North Dakota" free
upon request to the Agricultural
College.
TO BRINE CURE PORK rub each
piece of pork lightly with salt and
pack in, the barrel or crock. Cover
with board and weight down with a
stone. Dissolve pounds of salt in
4 gallons of water, boil to sterilize
the solution, and skim or filter if
necessary. This will make saturated
brine and is usually so used in curing
pork on the farm. If one gallon of
boiling water is added a milder brine
or pickle will be obtained which will
give a more palatable cured product.
The brine should be allowed to stand
until cold and then poured on the
meat. Be certain the meat is COM
pletely covered. Keep the meat in a
cool place out of direct sunlight and
keep from freezing. After five or
six days the meat should be over
hauled and repacked, using the same
brine. This operation should be re-
peated after another interval Of about
week. For meat that you expect to
use before midsummer one and one
half days in the brine per pound
weight of piece will give splendid
mild cure. If the meat is to be kept
over summer two days in the brine
per pound weight of piece is to be
recommended. For example a 20
pound ham will need curing about six
weeks. The thinner or lighter pieces
should be taken from the brine when
they are cured or they will become
too salty. Meat that has to be fresh
ened before using is never so pala-
table as that which is cured just
right. To make sugar cured pork use
three-fourths salt and one-fourth
sugar in making the brine.

the specialists, in urging palatability
in the ration. Palatable feed is i'm
portant for this reason, for if a cow
won't eat, except just enough to keep
on condition, there will be little milk.
Provide feeds Of good quality relished
by the COW, fed in a clean manger.
As pancakes every meal and every
meal soon tires, so a ration, even a
palatable one, made up of one or two
feeds, soon tires. AS radical or fire.
quent changes in the ration upset the
cows system, it is important that a
ombination of rations be mixed and
fed. Unlike the hog and the beef
animal, the dairy COW is on feed for
long successive periods, doing the
hardest kind of work. The more good
feeds included in the ration the better.
One pancake won't make a farm
hand meal; neither will wisp Of
hay and handful of nubbins fill the
barrel capacity. The COW can eat and
digest only limited amount of grain
or concentrates, and the rest of the
stomach capacity must be filled with
bulky feed to aid in digesting the
grains.
AS pancake needs butter and syrup
so dairy COW needs succulent feed,
one with lots of water in it. The
dairy COW, of all livestock, needs wat
er, because she is manufacturing a
product that is 88 percent water, and
the more water she will use, the larg-
er flow of milk to be expected A
succulent feed also has a good effect
upon the system, just as apples or
prunes do upon the human system
when eaten with pancakes.

FEEDING THE DAIRY COW

Fargo, N. D.-COnsldef the pancake,
quote livestock specialists of the N.
D. Agricultural College, in discussing
the seven essentials of a good live
stock ration; palatability, variety,
bulk, succulence, balance, effect on
system, and economy. These essen
tials are being explained in the live
stock feeding schools being conducted
in the state this winter by the extern
sion division.
If a pancake has kerosene spilled
over it, it doesn't taste good and won't
be eaten. Neither will be a feed be
eaten if the COW doesn't like it, say

Hearings on the Sinclair and Christ
opherson bills to revive the United
States Grain Corporation continued
throughout the week before the House
committee on Agriculture with North
Dakota men taking leading part in
the drive for fixed-price legislation.
Congressman George M. Young ad-
dressed the committee on Monday, and
with Representative Sinclair, who is
q member Of the committee, opened
the argument in favor of legislation
to stabilize the market for farm prod
ucts. Mr.. Young stressed the dire exs
tremity to which the farmers of the
nation have been reduced, urging an
immediate effort to put the producer
upon cost-plus basis. In discussing
possible steps which might be taken
Young declared that both tn e
Christopherson and Sinclair bills had
admirable features and suggested
that composite Of the bills might
lead to an acceptable solution.
In brief the Sinclair bill would re-
establish the Federal Grain Corpor-
alton, coupled with guarantee-price
upon certain grains. This guarantee
clause would be in effect for five years
The bill proposed by Representative
Christopherson of South Dakota
would effect a permanent guarantee
policy.
Congressman o. B. Burtness, who
appeared on Tuesday in favor of price
fixing, declared that the guarantee
clause in the committee bill should in
clude three staple products, wheat,
corn and cotton. Such proposition
would not only benefit generally the
farmers of the south and west but
would likewise draw the voting
strength of such agricultural districts
in those sections. >.
In advocating a guarantee policy,
Congressman Burtness made it clear
that he favored such governmental
action only as temporary relief pol
icy to meet an extraordinary emer-
gency such as is now existant. Ad-
mitting the guaranteeing of profits to
any business or industry as econo-
1nically unsound under normal con-
ditions Mr.. Burtness sought to show
that the present situation is decidedly
abnormal and that without some
drastis relief legislation the farmers
face economic ruin.
Burtness suggested that emergency

authorizing proper government agents
to determine the reasonable cost Of
production Of such crops as wheat,
corn and cotton for the next two years
and that the government be authoriz-
ed to buy the export surplus of such
years before the crop for the year fol-
lowing should be placed upon the
market. In the case of wheat the
purchase might be made in May,
June and July following each harvest,
the local price to the farmer to be
the fixed price less carriage to the
time of purchase. ..-.. 49,.
Stating that grain is now being sold
considerably below cost of production
Congressman Burtness emphasized
that credit would not be extended for
the coming season by prudent bank
ers and business men unless it could
be shown that continued operations
would not result in additional loss.
Mr.. E. B. Page, of Leeds, North
Dakota, who spoke in favor Of guar
antee legislation before the agricul-
tural conference, also appeared be-
fore the House committee to urge i'm
mediate action. =

HIS SOLE MATE

Oscar Schmidtberger, the lumber king, said at banquet in Seattle:
 T once knew man who decided to save transport costs by floating his timber down the river. He was a greenhorn at the business but he tied his logs together anyhow and sent them off down stream, as brave as any bareback rider in Barnum's circus.
 But the log he was standing on worked loose after a bit and turned over. The lumberman splashed into the river but held on to his log for dear life, trying to work himself up on her, but she kept turning over and over with him all the time and as he struggled in this way he was con tinuously aware of his feet sticking up in their enormous boots on the other side of the log. But help was at hand. A rowboat dashed to his rescue. Willing arms were held out to him, but with heroic gesture he pushed them away.
 Never mind me, boys. can hang on," he said, "but save that poor other unfortunate cuss what's in head first"

TRIALS OF NEAR ROYALTY

Court circles, I gather, are rather exercised about the precise position of Lord Lascelles in the royal family. At the last court, for instance, there was rather embarrassing contre- temps. When debutantes have cour- tesied to the king and queen, the rest of the royal party bow to them one after another, and they bow in return. On this particular occasion there had been several such obeisances, and at the end, Lord Lascelles, very natural ly as member of the royal party also made his bow. The presented ones started to follow suit-and then rather suddenly checked themselves. It was an awkward moment. - The Passing Show.-(London.)
