UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT HAS ACED CASE Litigation Extending Back Be- yond Louisiana Purchase Appealed From State Records dating back to the Louisi- ana Purchase and beyond, transcripts from courtly grants and patents bear- ing the signatures and the grand seals of the Louises of France are being packed up today by J. H. New- ton, clerk of the North Dakota su- preme court, to be mailed to Wash- ington as a part of the record in the case of John D. Faxon versus Lally township, in Benson county, which has been appealed by the plaintiff to the United States supreme court. A narrow strip of land desired by Lally township for the dedication of a public highway on the section line is the bone of contention. Faxon claims that by right of title dating back to Indian times there is no sec- tion line running through his prop- erty, and that the township, if it de- sires the property for highway pur- poses, must pay for it. The township claimed and substantiated in district and supreme court that the Indians never had any property rights in this territory; that they never ceded any property’there to the United States under such restrictions as Faxon claims, because they had no proper- ty to cede, and that title was vested by the French government in Uncle Sam when it transferred the North- west Territory, and that from Uncle Sam it descended to Dakota territory, North Dakota state, Benson county and Lally township.

Historic Church Honored by First Visit of Bishop i Medora, N. D., July 9.—Saint, Ath- enais Catholic church, erected in 1884 by the Marquis ae Mores, was honored by its first vistt from a bish- op of the church Sunday, when Rt. Rev. Vincent Wehrle, bishop of the Bismarck diocese, celebrated mass and confirmed a class. The Medora church was named in honor of the mother and a daughter of the Marquis de Mores, both of whom were named Athenais. There has been so much question as to the origin of this name, that it may be stated that Saint Athenais is better known in history under the name of Eudocia. She was born in Athens, a daughter of the sopist, Leontius, from whom she received a thorvugh training in literature and rhetoric. ‘Visiting Constantinople when that city was the capital of Christendom, she was baptized and received the name of Aclia Licinia Eudocia.

When Fed Judiciously Alfalfa Hay Pro- duces Good Resulte, In a bulletin published some time ago by the Nebraska station the ex- perience of a number of stockmen was given in the feeding of alfalfa hay to horses, says the Iowa Homestead. Nearly all of the contributors to this bulletin praised alfalfa hay highly, and one breeder reported a gain of four pou a day per head on 150 horses for two months. These horses con- sumed twenty-one pounds of coarsely ground corn and fourteen pounds of alfalfa hay daily. While this ts ex- ceedingly heavy feeding, at the same time the market calls for horses in hich flesh, and it is doubtful if any The farmer with a few good mares can earn a little easy money by raising two or three colts. Care should be taken that only pure bred sires are used. It is a waste of time and money -to breed scrubs. The stallion pictured here ts a pure bred Percheron. Sn mnes 3 other ratton could be used with such satisfactory results in the making of such rapid gains as those referred to. It is pointed out by the Nebraska station, because of its palatability, horses are lable to eat too much al- falfa if they are permitted to have free access to it. One pound of alfalfa hay and one and one-fourth pounds of grain per day for each hundred pounds of a horse's weight were found to make |a good ration for a working horse. This would mean that an animal weighing 1,200 pounds would require twelve pounds of hay daily and fifteen pounds of grain. It 1s a weil known fact that horses \ike alfalfa stems, and for that reason the refuse from cattle racks may be utilized by feeding it to horses. First and second cuttings are more apt to be free of mold and dust than later cut- ings, and it 1s therefore desirable to feed horses from that part of the sup- ply. ! 5 The practice of wetting alfalfa is \ condemned by the Nebraska station, and it is furthermore recommended snuff or chewing tobacco to pacify morbid desire. z it qhat_if gifalta is used, at all it_sboulg i a be ‘used regularly. Sudden changes. from this form of roughage to other forms is apt to: derange the digestive system. The principal precaution that should be taken in the use of alfalfa for horses {s to avoid allowing animals ta gorge themselves. It ig.an excellent form of roughage for colts, It is nevertheless a fact that mares heavy with foal and taking no exercise areapt'to suffer attacks of impaction if they are allowed to run to alfalfa racks at will. The trouble is due to the fact that alfalfa hay is very palatable and 1s.apt to be eaten in too large quantities. It should be remembered that alfalfa hay is a flesh former rather than a fat forming food, and it is practically of the same composition as wheat bran and‘is considered to be of equal value with that product in the horse ration. In conjunction with corn it makes al- most a perfectly balanced ration. Dutiful.
