Hill co. FARMER
EXPLOITS new IDEA
DEYISES UNIQUE~MACHINE. FOR
HARN NESTING ''H FER So
WHICH HE SELLS. IN: EAST FOR
CHICKEN FEED. .., III,

Dried grasshOpper chicken feed is
the latest Hill. county product, and
substantial shipments of it are now
being made by a Hayre farmer to
chicken ranches in Washington. This
farmer gathers in hoppers, dries them
in the sun and then sacks them for
shipping. Carefully packed it is poss-
ible to put so pounds to the sack. 1t
is easy to gather and pack a large
number of sacks each day. For this
purpose the farmer has invented a
hopper catcher, which is a very Unique
contrivance. Taking an old racing
sulky, he welded an extension on each
axle on which hangs a large sheet Of
tin, carefully turned to a funnel shape
at the bottom. Below this funnel is
hung q creased bucket. Hitching an
old horse to the cart. he starts down
the road where the hoppers are. the
thickest. The hoppers fly against the
bright and shiny tin, and slip down
the smooth surface into the bucket
from which there is no escape. As
soon as the bucket is filled, it is dump
ed into a larger receptacle in the bot
ton of the cart. A ten-minute ride
yields cart-load of hoppers, when
they are flying the hardest, or about
$50 pounds. All over the county farm
ers are drying hoppers for winter
chicken feed, only a few have realized
the possibilities of shipping them to
market

In their petition they set out that
the territory between Froid and Nc
Cabe is intensely farmed and that a
large amount of grain is being raised
which it il. exceedingly difficult to
market because of the long haul and

and to construct the grade for the
track of the Great Northern will furn-
ish the ties, rails and switches. In
their communication to the railroad
commission the petitioners state that
the Great Northern has refused to ac-
cede to ther request.

toners to direct their petition to the
