EARLY CHICKENS WILL
BEGIN LAYING in FAIL

Thousands will be added to the
value of North Dakota egg produc-
ton this year il growers follow the
suggestion this spring to do your
Matching early" according to poul-
try specialists at the State Agricul-
tural College, who announced today
that incubators at the station poui-
try plant are now hard at work.
Spring is the most favorable
growing season OF the year-na-
ture's growing season. staaed G.
w. McIlroy, station poultry man
and assistant to O. A. Barton. poul-
try specialist. in commenting upon
the value Of raising early hatcned
chicks. when chicks are hatcned
early they have a chance to get
into laying condition in the nall,
since with favorable care pullets
will begin to lay from seven to
eight months after they are hatch
ed, depending somewhat upon the
breed. Fall and winter eggs pay
best, OF course. Early hatched pull
lets, furthermore, begin to lay
while the hens. are molting. and
thereby keep UP their egg produc-
tion."
March and April are good months
to hatch chicks, according to the
poultry specialists. Chicks hatched
in the summer months must con-
tend with both hot weather and
lice. and with a greater tendency
to roup in the fall. Chicks hatched
early in the spring have been shown
to weigh more on the average at
tho end nf four months than do
chicks Matched In the summer. Pick
ing strong, alert breeding stock
and culling out the Door producers
in the fall will help increase the
productiveness OF the flock. Rea-
sonably good quarters are also q
factor IN most parts OF North Da-
kota when early Matching opera
tions are considered.

FIRST PIONEERS In BOW
+ BELLS 25 YEARS AGO

Twenty-Five years ago yesterday
(April 9Th, 1890 the first train
load of immigrants randed in Bow
bells. At that time our little city
consisted of the section house and
a long shed erected for the tempor-
ary accommodation Of the newly ar
rived settlers.
The winter Of '96 and '97 was
an exceedingly severe one in the
Dakotas. The snow drifts along
the railroad were level with the
roof of the section house. Snow
was taken from a drift near the
water tank that year on the 9Th Of
June to make coifee. The large
coulees along the lake were filled
level with snow.
The trials and hurdships OF the
early settlers were many, there be-
ing no land under cultivation what
ever, no buildings, no wells, no
roads nor any of the conveniences
of an older country.
We have seen this country de-
velop from vast expanse OF graz
ing land into the modern farming
country which we have today. We
have seen our little city grow from
a section house and shed to its
present size with all the modern
conveniences of an up-to-date city.
At this time, a quarter of a CEN
turv since the arrival of the first
immigrant train, the following per-
sons who arrived on that train are
still residing in this community:
Mrs Lawrence Larsen, E. G. Ma
honey, G. T. Mahoney, Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Woods and William Beck.
