2 { t i 1 3 H Pastures for Drouth Sufferers South Dakota Leaguer Offers Minnesota Land Free to 5 Montana Stock Raisers INNESOTA, Wisconsin, Colorado and South Da- kota Leaguers are com- .ing to the aid of the drouth victims of Mon- tana with offers of pas- ture lands, some of which is even of- fered free to the stricken stockmen. In the July 21 issue of the Nonpar- tisan Leader an appeal was made to owners of pasture land in Minnesota, Wisconsin and nearby states to notify the Leader of available lands. This appeal has been responded to, and let- ters containing offers are printed for the benefit of the Montanans. Ramana, S. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: In your issue of the Leader of July 21 I saw your request for names of those who have pasture to rent to Montana stock raisers. I have 200 acres of land in Pine county, Minn., section 16, township 41, range 19, which they are welcome to use with- out any charges. This land is eight miles east of Hinckley and has run- ning water, called Bear creek. If further information is desired, you may obtain same by writing to Tom Wolf, Hinckley, Minn. PLAZI DERUNGS. Chippewa Falls, Wis., Box 346. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I saw your request for parties having land for pasture in north- ern-Wisconsin and will say that I am in direct touch with some parties who have more than 400 acres up there, located in a woods district 16 miles from town, and a fine lot of buildings on it, and plenty of outland for pas- ture and water. If I can be of any use I will do all I can for both par- ties. I believe many tons of hay could be put up if we got busy at once, as” many tons of hay go to waste every year there for lack of someone putting it up. If any one is interested.( would like to hear at once, as it is time to hay now. It is a widow. woman who owns it and I have had offers to work on, so I will be O. K. to write to and will do all I can to help. A. E. GRABREAKS. Eckley, Col. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have 700 acres of good pasture, with excellent water, four miles out from above named town. Would like to take in 50 head of Montana cattle, as I now have 35 head on the ranch. My customary price is $1 per head per month. I keep a large supply of wa- ter and salt and give .them careful attention. Could keep them as late as December by feeding in time of a snow. Would like to get in commu- nication with some of the farmers wishing to sell their stock, so as to get prices on yearling and two-year- old stuff, as I might buy a carload or ‘more. of their cattle. F. K. HALL. Burlington, Col., Route A, Box 87. - Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am writing in answer to your ap- peal for the Montana farmers with a hope that I can help some of my brother Leaguers. I have reference to southeastern Kit Carson county and northeastern Cheyenne county, Col. This is a free range country and the buffalo grass is good. There are hun- dreds of sections owned by speculators which are not fenced and the grazing is free. I think there coild be several thousand head kept in this country. It ‘'would be necessary for the owners of cattle to arrange for wells to water at. The wells can not be pumped dry by windmills or small engines, They must also keep a rider after cattle s¢ ~ gether. they would not break. in'and des't;roy crops. I will answer all inquiries to the best-of my ability. ; J. K. PATTERSON. Millston, Wis.,. Route 1, Box 19. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I saw your notice regarding the Montana cattle situation and hasten to advise you that I am in a position to pasture 300 or 400 head of these cattle until snow falls. ROBERT K. DALE. Connover, Wis. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: We notice in the Leader that you want to know of parties who have grazing lands to rent to Montana men for their cattle. We have abofit 1,000 acres idle, besides there must be 6,000 acres of other lands owned by dif- ferent individuals all around our farm. We could undoubtedly take care of about 250 head of cattle anyway. The lands are not fenced, hence the cattle ,would have to be herded. There is fine water all around here. The lands are cutover, but there is a lot of feed anyway. The cattle could be shipped- to Connover, on the Northwestern line, or Star Lake, on the Milwaukee line. If one Montana rancher has mnot enough cattle several could go to- The rental will be nominal, if any. Will let the cattle owners set their own price on that part of it. 5 OLSON BROS. THE CANADIAN VIEW The recent political history of North Dakota makes very interesting read- ing for Canadians at this time. In the first place, conditions in that state are very similar to our own conditions on the prairie provinces, and it is well to know how our neighbor has set about remedying her affairs. In- the next place, the Nonpartisan league has shown what can be done by an in- telligent use of the ballot. In a per- fectly constitutional manner it has effected what has been hailed as- a political and .economic revolution. Needless to say, this legislation has been severely criticized by enemies of reform who are making desperate ef- forts to discredit the Nonpartisan league. It is confidently hoped, how- ever, that the new movement will strengthen and live. — TURNER’S WEEKLY. ! BETTER MEALS FOR CHILDREN An effort to secure better noon-day meals, with at least one warm dish, for school children, is receiving the attention of home demonstration agents, county agents, and school of- ficials in Iowa. “Farmers warm wa- ter for cows, cook feed for hogs in winter, and heat coffee for themselves when lunching out in the timber dur- ing the wood-cutting season, but too often allow their children to eat cold food at noon day after day,” says an Iowa county. strongly favors warm ‘schogl lunches for ‘country school children. “Some- thing warm at noon will benefit the children physically and mentally. They will also learn something of good-food principles; serving and table etiquette if the right teacher is on the job.”— DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. CANNING COMPOUNDS " HARMFUL Canning compounds sold wunder various trade names for use in home canning are often harmful to health and should never be used by house- wives, say the specialists of the bu- reau of chemistry, department of agriculture. These preparatioiis, which -are usually in powdéred form and Tontain salicylic acid or boric’ acid, are unnecessary since fruits-and superintendent - who-’ PAGE ELEVEN = vegetables can be kept for long pe- riods in perfect condition without any chemical preservatives whatever if proper methods of canning are fol- lowed. The federal food and drugs act pro- hibits the use of harmful preserva- tives in foods which come within its jurisdiction. The food laws of nearly every state in the Union forbid the sale within the state of foods which _have been preserved with harmful sub- stances. Although neither the federal or state laws apply to foods canned in the home and consumed there, it would seem that the housewife would not knowingly use, in the foods she preserves for her family, substances that are prohibited by law in foods for sale because the substances are in- jurious to health. The department of agriculture has issued bulletins that give specific di- rections for the canning and preserv- ing of fruits and vegetables without the use of preserving powders or can- ning compounds. These bulletins may be obtained without cost upon appli- cation to the Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D.
