CATTLE AND SHEEP
IN GOOD CONDITION
Favorable Weather Conditions
During March Help, Pre-
cipitation Is Needed

While weather conditions during
March were favorable to livestock,
cattle and sheep did not show any
change In condition during the month.
according to the April l range and
livestock report issued by the federal
agricultural statistician's office at
Fargo.
No severe storms were experienced,
temperatures were above normal and
precipitation was below normal dur
ing the month. General precipitation
the first part Of April did much to
brighten the outlook for pastures and
crop. Stockmen are of the opinion
that there is sufficient moisture in the
ground to start grass growth.
Calf and lamb crop prospects are
very favorable at present, "a per cent
of stockmen reporting being of the
belief that the crop for both will be
normal or above. Cattle and sheep
losses have been less than normal.
Some growers, however, have expert
enced losses greater than normal, due,
perhaps to the poor quality of hay
end straw which the stock has been
forced to consume.
Feed and forage crops are quite
generally exhausted over much of the
state, except in relatively small area
III the Red River valley. Reports in
dictate there will be no carry-over of
hay or grain feed in most of the state.
Hay has been and is being shipped in
from outside the state or shifted from
surplus areas which have been re-
duced to local need III most cases.
Additional demands for hay will have
to be supplied from sources outside
the state.
Range conditions are about the
same as a month ago. Range feed,
however, is very short. due to the ex-
trcmely droughty condition that pre-
vailed last summer and fall. Much
precipitation is needed to replenish
the soil moisture and insure good grass
growth and ample stock water.
Some early lambs have been report
ed in the state, the report says. though
lambing will not become general until
the latter part of April or early in
May. Sheep look well and are In
good health, though some are thin.
as IN most cases they are now get
ting their entire substance from de-
pleted range pasture.

EXPERTS PLAY IT ~
BY WIN. E. MCKINNEY

Secretary, American Bridge League
Why is it that some people will
continue to allow high cards to wreck
them? Give the average contract
player hand full OF kings and aces,
and he opens with two bid, regard
less Of what may happen.
II you do not hold a five-card suit,
stop forcing with an original two bid.
II you hold hand as big as the one
given below, you know that your
partner can hardly make any re.
spouse but no trump, and you have
two suits that may gain a trick II they
are opened.
Therefore, with q hand of this type,
We recommend that you make the bid
which the dealer did today-of three
no trump.

queen. While South is glad to re-
ceive this information, there is the
danger that North may not have an
other entry card; therefore, South
bids five no trump, asking his part
ner If he has any probable entry
cards.
With the jack of spades and queen
of clubs, North makes the response Of
six no trump. You will see that, II

Is going to have trouble making his
contract. However, If he Is careful
about his entries, the hand can be
made.
The queen Of diamonds IS won with
the ace, the ace and king Of hearts are
cashed, and then the ace and king Of
clubs. Now the jack Of clubs must
be led.
West will let 60 diamond and the
jack should be overtaken in dummy
with the queen. This establishes the
six Of clubs as an entry.
Now the queen Of hearts Is cashed,
declarer discarding the deuce Of
spades. It Is followed by the ten of
hearts. declarer releasing the four Of
diamonds and West winning with the
jack.
West cannot return q spade, or it
will be into the declarer's tenace, so
he must lead the jack of diamonds,
which the declarer wins with the king
and then leads the five Of clubs. West
discards q spade and the trick Is won
in dummy with the six.
The eight Of hearts Is casled, de-
clarer releases the six Of spades, and
West Is squeezed. II he drops the ten
Of diamonds, dummy's nine will be
good, so he discards the ten Of spades.
The declarer leads the jack of spades,
goes up with the ace, which catches
Vests king, and the queen wins the
last trick.

TOUGH STUFF, JUDGE!
Bismarck, N. OAK,
April 16, 1894.

Bismarck, N. OAK,
April is, 1894.
Editor. Tribune:
There have been over four thousand
drivers tagged and summoned before
me for infraction Of the traffic ordi-
nances Of Bismarck since I have held
the office Of police magistrate. Driv-
erS still persist in such offenses.
Every such offense tends to increase
the number Of accidents in Bismarck.
Mayor Lenhart. in his recent pro-
clamation, urges every one ito coope-
rate that our city may gain the re-
putation Of one where the practice
Of courtesy results in a decrease In
the number Of accidents" Bismarck
has entered In national contest for
an award to cities having the best
safety records. II Bismarck had been
entered in that contest for the last
two years We would have received the
BOBBY prize.
All the laws ever enacted in the
past or that may be promulgated in
the future will be Of no avail and the
wretched conditions we have had can
only slightly improve unless drivers Of
motor vehicles observe every law and
regulation. The driver should feel
his responsibility towards the good
order Of traffic.
Since I have occupied the office
there has not been an accident
brought to my attention caused by a
motor vehicle except where at least
one Of the drivers broke some provi-
sion Of our traffic ordinances. New
ordinances and their enforcement will
not alone improve conditions.
Our traffic ordinances have been
enacted after much study and care
full consideration Of our board Of city
commissioners. Unless drivers CO.
operate, present conditions will con-
tinue. # every one will obey our tfaf-
fic ordinances I feel safe in saying
that no serious accidents, In fact no
injury or damage to persons or prop
erty win occur in Bismarck, at least
greater than . slightly bent fender.
NOT ONE.
This is safety and courtesy week
and, rs our mayor has said, extend
It throughout the entire year." Driv-
ers should start right now and get
in the habit Of obeying every traffic
regulation. Otherwise you are invit-
ing danger, and one cannot be con-
sidered courteous who breaks the law,
