NJfcWS FROM BURKE COUNTY
RED CROSS CHAPTER
The removal of Grant Martin
from Bowbells caused a vacancy in
the assistant secretaryship. This
has been filled by the appointment
of Wm. Sadleir, who has taken up
the work and is now busy mailing
bUpplies for the Christmas drive.
As soon as the drive week is over he
will begin the work of organizing
school auxiliaries.
Flaxton reports that sufficient
funds are now on nand to obtain
authority for the creation of a
school auxiliary in that city and the
necessary certificate will soon he
issued.
Mrs. Ole G. Frosaker, field secre
tary for the Burke county chapter,
will go to Minot this week to obtain
patterns, models, and instructions
for the work of tne school children
who engage in Red Cross work.
Materials for the Christmas Week
Membership Drive are being mailed
from headquarters today. The dir
ectors of the chapter will act as dir
ectors or generals in their respect
ive' communities. They will sub
divide their territory and place cap
tains and lieutenants in charge of
neighborhoods. The plan ing to
have every family in Burke county
given an opportunity during the
week commencing Dec. 17 to be
come affiliated with the Red Cross.
A special effort will be made' to se
cure two dollar memberships* from
the heads of families and one dol
lar memberships for as many others
in each household as means will
permit. Burke county has a pop
ulation of about 9000. The mem
bership now is close to 1200, and it
is hoped to double this before the
drive is finished.
As an incident of the drive small
service flags, bearing the red cross
are to be distributed to every fam
ily. To these smaller red crosses
are to be attached, one for each
member of the family belonging to
the fted Cross. At. 7:30 p. m.

The lands in Bflrkp county on
which the 1916 taxes were delin
quent were sold last Tuesday morn
ing by County Auditor Melby ac
cording to law, and tax sale certifi

Something like 200 tracts were dis
posed of at this sale, and there were
about a half dozen bidders present.
The hightest interest rate allowed is
12 per cent, though certificates are
issued to the bidder who is willing
to carry the amount for the lowest
interest. In this instance it seem
ed that none of the bidders wers
willing to accept a rate of Interest
lower than 12 per cent, and every
tract was disposed of at that rate,

Countv Auditor Melby has been
apposed by the government to
take charge of the issuing of li
censes to those in this county who
handle explosives. Hereafter no
person will be allowed to have high
explosives in his possession without
first procuring a license therefor
from Mr. Melby. The cost of pro
curing the license is only 25 cents.
Mr. Melby has all necessary blanks
for the issuing of these permits,
and those who harve explosives on
hand should see him at once and
thereby avoid prosecution. The
order requiring the license was
made by the government on ac
count of the large amount of pro
perty destroyed in various parts of
the country by dynamite. The
government wahts to know where
all the dynamite In the country Is
located, so as to be in a better posi
tion to round up the criminals re
sponsible far each outrage.

A deal was completed on Wednes
day of this week whereby Hans
Hanson of near Dawson, Minn., be
comes the owner of the D. M. Skin
ner farm north of Bowbells, and
takes'possession of the place next
spring. The Skinner farm wa's!
homest^ded by Mr. Skinner in the
pioneer days of this great Bowbells
country, and was ever since that
time farmed by Mr. Skinner. It
contains 160 acres of the best land
in the state, and is well- improved.
Mr. Hanson, the new owner, Is
farming near Dawson, Minn., and as
he has his place there leased for' an
other year he will not move "to
Burke county until, the spring of
1919. He has rented the Skinner

trees are scraggy and scrawny in
appearance, while some of them
look as If they were on their last
legs. It is a shame that these big
profitimiakers are' allowed to go to
ruin, when just a little care each
year would save them.
Farmers do not always quite rea
lize the great value of cleaning up
the orchard during the jvinter.
Many insects and fungous diseases
which would make trouble the fol
lowing season can be destroyed in
the cold months. First remove all
trash and burn it, thereby destroy
ing the insects that are laying dor
mant. Then remove from the or
chard all mummied fruits. Old
rotten peaches, apples, plums and
other fruits, whether on the tree or
on the ground, contain millions of
spores which are capable of spread
ing diseases to the next crop of
fruit.
Most unheated cellars or base
ments will famish fair storage for
apples. A temperature of 40 to 50
would be ideal, but variations be
tween 34 and 50 are safe. Storage
rooms should be kept dark, espe
cially in late winter or spring. In
early winter before cold weather
sets in some ventilation should be
provided for large quantities of
apples. A few bushels need very
little ventilation. Apples will not
keep in a heated cellar or basement.
If there is no cool storage room
provided, partition off part of the
basement, as far as possible from
the furnace.

THE FIRE TREE
On Christmas eve many homes
will bo set afire by carelessness in
handling candle-lighted Christmas
trees. To the thoughtful will come
the reasons for the nints which fol
low:
Never leave an illuminated tree
unwatced.
Never use cotton batting nor fes
toons of tissue paper On a lighted
tree. Never use ornaments made
of celluloid.
Never let a child touch the tree,
nor permit a draft of air to sway
the branches while the candles are
lighted.
Never put cotton beneath the tree
to make the carpet look as If snow
covered.
Never remove presents from the
tree until the candles have been
blown out. When the removal of
presents begins, children and adults,
too, are giving their attention to in
dividual items rather than to the
tree as a whole, so it doesn't much
matter how the tree looks then.
In the interest of beauty and
safety, also, it is better to put the
presents under the ree, not on it,
for most of the presents ordinarily
placed upon a tree disfigure it both
by their presence and by springing
the branches out of position, spoil
ing its symmetry.
A sponge tied to the end of a
long stick and a pailful of water
should be kept beside the tree
while the candles are burning. It
the tree is a large one, have a stick,
sponge and water on either side of
it.
Aside froim the fact that the store
decorations are §earce and expen
sive, economy should be practiced
wherever possible this year. The
decorations that you make at home,
or tfiat the children make, speak
eloquentlv of a labor of love and
add to the Christmas spirit. With
a little thought and ingenuity a
tree may be safely and beautifully
decorated at slight expense.
What could be sadder than mar
ring this Joyous and sacred season
by turning a fir tree into a fire tree?
WINTER CARE OP BROOD SOWS
Those who are already engaged
in swine production, and persons
just beginning, will have to prac
tice the strictest economy in feed
ing and management during the.
coming wfnter, if they expect to be
in the business for any length ot
time.
Hogs can not make use of large
amounts of roughage. They utilize
succulent pasture and. when fed
grain in addition, make profitable
pork. When winter comes and
pastures becin to run short, the
feed bill begins to «-un up. To keep
breeding sows in "excellent physical
condition so they can produce
strong, healthy litters, they should
be kept on pasture whenever pos
sible, and given some grain in ad
dition.
When the sows are put into win
ter quarters they may safely run in
herds of quite large numbers. Plen
ty of run for exercise and sufficient
space at the feed troughs without
crowding is very necessary. The
gestation period of sows is approx
imately 114 days. A record should
be kept of the date on which each
sow is bred. Two or three weeks
before a sow is due to farrow she
should be taken away from the rest
of the herd and housed and fed in
a separate pen, where stijs can be
come acquainted with her surround
ings and can farrow her pigs un
disturbed.
A sole grain ration is expensive
and is not the best for the sow.
Every feeder should supply all the
green feed he can. It tan be fur
nished by feeding alfalfa,. clover,
soy-beans and cow-peas. Some
farmers think that hogs will not
eat hay, but this belief is wrong,
for they eat alfalfa with a relish.
Build a rack and keep it filled with
alfalfa hay all the time.
Sows that are developing a litter
mnst be fed liberally but not over
fed. A sow that is too fat is clum
sy with her pigs and generally
mashes some oftliem. A thin sow
will probably farrow a delicate lit
ter that will not be raised to wean
ing time. A fair condition of flesh
is all that is required. Concen
trated grain feed without the neces
sary bulk often 'constipates a sow
and she is unable to properly far
row her pigs.
A good ration
for
wintering1,,brood
sows is corn and alfalfa hay. Milo
maize, barley, rye or frosted wheat
will aftswer if It is impossible to se
cure corn. Farmers who have win
tered sows by feeding1 them legume,
hay and. grain claim it is not only,
the cheapest but also the best meth
od of feeding sows to produce
strong pigs.
The small grains should be
ground or cracked before'' they are
fed. They can lie fed dry or in the
form of a slop. Whea any,of these
grains are fed in combination with
alfalfa hay it is not necessary to
feed a protein, -supplement. If
c.over or other-hays just mentioned
are fed, it is better to. feed tankage
or oil-meal' with the eorn, ..jillo1

THE IMPORTANCE OP MILK
Milk is the child's most Important
food. It is nutritious,* is rich in^,
the lime needed, to make bone, it^
makes other foods mores digestible,'
and in addition to that contains
substances that are needed by the
child if it is to grow. Experiments'
at the Wisconsin Agricultural Col
lege showed that if the butter fat
was ^rith-held from growing ani-ljT
Trials and other fats as lard or vege
table fats fed instead, that the..
growth stopped no matter how?
much was ted, and growth started i,
as soon as the butter fat was": f£d
again. Milk may seem expensive
but at present prices- it furnishes
nutrients cheaper than meat in ad-'
dition to supplying the growth stim-f
ulating principle. Agr. Ext. Dept.
N. D. Agr. College.
MEAT FOODS FOR BIRDS
In the winter the chickens need
something to take the place of the A
grasshoppers, bugs and worms that
furnishes them meat in the sum-|| v
m$r. The prepared njgat scrapsT.
sold on the market aire very- con-'
yenient. Fresh green bones are
one Qf the beBt aflimalMfoods. Half"
an ounce of crushed bone per hen
iWM be sufficient. Skim milk can
be used as a partial substitute for
the meat or bone. E. J. Peterson,
