 F been felt by the orange grower of Southern Californis for fertilizer adapted to this fruit. We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our "Orange Tree Fertilizer" It Is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potssh, phosphoric acid, ammonia and other ingredients, and Is complete manure Tor growing trees, from time of setting out to full maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer is used, on account of their distasts to the tree-either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of super ohosphates, according to Prof. Hilgard. will Do found much better adapted to the purpose than either osrnysrd or ssry oonstituents of which the soil has been de prived by its long continuance in the cultivs- lion of such crops.

FRONT ELEVATION.

rhONT ELEVATION. frame houses built has bean on the in- crease. The principal reason for this is the cost. More display can be made for the same money in frame house than in one of brick, and there can be no doubt that there has been very strong movement in the direction of display in the building of houses during the past There are people of good taste and quiet manners who would disdain to go on the street dressed in loud, vulgar manner, yet who are proud to live in houses crude in their de- tail and common in their general structure
 This movement has been somewhat con. certed; it has been general, and it is only recently that reaction has appeared The people have been told that man will show his character in house building; that one may build substantially. in good taste, permanently, and show his general quail ties of character. Hence there are many who, either in justice to themselves or for the purpose of counterfeiting that which is genuine, have effected the idea of solid dignity, and the brick house with the stone foundation, or the frame house of rational design and general good taste, has come to be more frequent r, .f. g,-F
 The old colonial house had it's origin among quiet, home loving, refined, un- ostentatious people. The remains of these houses show the best domestic architecture which we have in this country. The old colonial builders used the classic styles the Roman and Grecian-and adapted them to the habits and requirements of the old colonial people. They did this thing boldly and without hesitation.

FIRST STOR1.
 The fireplace was not an institution con- mon to modern Greece and Rome-cer- tainly not in dwelling houses. Yet we have nothing. more classic or beautiful than the old Grecian and Roman forms as adapted to the fireplaces of old colonial homes. These may be seen today. These old mantels are being resurrected from junk shops and neglected houses.
 The plan given was originally drawn for frame house. but was afterward changed in form and detail to correspond with the external design shown, which is the French Gothic of the Sixteenth and Sev. enteenth centuries. This style was orig inally used in stone. However, it is read fly adaptable to brick and terra cotta, than which there is no better building ma terial. Terra cotta is the perfection of brick making. It is the one building ma terial which is not affected by any of the natural or artificial changes in tempera- ture or by other climatic qualities Burnt clay in it's various forms is not affected by fire, water or frost. The great mistake which many of our designers make in handling terra cotta is that they give 1t constructive forms which are peculiar to stone, and not the brick forms which nat urally belong to 1t. Thus 1t is that thess later Gothic styles are better adapted to terra cotta than some of the later earlier Gothic and classic styles.

all night, success crowned the efforts.

would have been in jeopardy in some in

Pay Debts.

The first thing farmer ought to do
after he has sold his wheat is to pay his
debts to the home merchant, who has
carried him for several seasons for the
necessities of life, and who, in many in
stances, has made it possible for the
farmer to remain and get the big crop
now in the country. The merchants
have stood by the farmers in this matter,
and have made sacrifices themselves to
DO 80. The lands of North Dakota are
going to increase in value. The farms
that no one could sell during the few
years past, will become sought after. It
is only case of northwestern Iowa, Min
nesota and other states repeated. The
farmer is the lucky man this year, and
he should remember the men who have
helped him out in the past. Whenever
he sells his wheat-whether now or a
few months later-he should at once
step into the business place of the men
who have trusted him and square ac-

Some Legislative History.

North Dakota Independent: The post
master editor of the Drayton Echo is ev-
identity one of those prohibitionists who
believe in the success of the republican
party first and prohibition second. We
are glad that there are not many such
men in the state, and we are ashamed
that the people sent SO many whisky re-
publicans to our last legislative assembly,
that had it not been for the manhood OF
the democrats the prohibition law would
have been virtually repealed by striking
out the penalty clause. If the people
who voted for prohibition were organized
without regard to the republican or dem.
ocratic parties they would be in the ma
jority.
Only three out of ninety-three men,
bers of our legislative assembly voted
against the bennett warehouse bill.
Still Gov. Burke vetoed it-that was the
way it was defeated, and the people
turned over to the tender mercies Of the
soulless corporations OF St. Paul and
Minneapolis to be financially skinned.
Who can doubt in view Of all the facts
that have come to light since this ele-
vator question has come prominently be-
fore the people, that the plan to bring
about the present state of affairs in
handling our wheat was formulated by
the elevator companies last winter and
is being carried out to the letter. Think
carefully over the situation and all the
facts and you will agree with us that it
was deep laid and damnable scheme. to
bring about the very state of affairs that
exist today, and put our present crop
even more into the hands of the combi-
nations than ever before.

supply OF at least 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat and rye, with possibility of the
shortage being twice as great. Added to
this is the almost total failure of the po-
tatoe crop in Ireland, and serious cur
tailment in the yield Of potstoe crop on
the continent. Eyen with the utmost
economy of distribution and an unheard
of consumption Of American maize,
grave distress is before the masses of
Europe.
Enormous exports of wheat and -four
from the United States III August prove
that Europe regards the situation as
worse than it has yet been painted.
Otherwise, why should she buy in
single menth close upon the harvest
nearly half as much wheat as she took
from the United States during the entire
first eight months OF the year following
one OF our largest wheat crops and q
period OF bedrock prices? Indeed,
August wheat exports we're almost treble
those of the same month last year, and
over four times as much as the average
exports at this season of last year.
For the first time in years wheat, bran
and middlings are exported to Europe
thus early in the season. These circum-
stances are accepted as the strongest pos
sible reason for believing that prices of
wheat are today unnaturally low. It
looks for sharp advance in all cereals
as soon as the demand realizes the limit
ed extent of the worlds actual supply.
Every bushel of high grade wheat is to-
day worth fully one dollar on the farm
where it grows.

quarters (2l6,OOO,OOO bushels) less than
last year." In conclusion will say only
that I have been engaged for more than
thirty years in collecting and publishing
market reports, that I am not interested
in speculative deals, and never have been
directly or indirectly interested pecu-
niarily in the course Of prices. But it
had an abundance of idle money" I
would buy not only 1000 bushels Of
wheat but 100 times that amount, and
quietly wait for the advance which it
seems to me hardly can fail to come be-.
fore next spring. LAKE SHORE.

WORTH 90 ON THE FARM.
A Leading Agricultural Paper Gives
Reasons for Stacking Wheat.

A Leading Agricultural Paper Gives
Reasons for Stacking Wheat.
The American Agriculturalst, one of
the leading farm journals of the country
declares that the half has not been told
about the European shortage in bread
stuffs, which not even a bountlful crop
this year would have relieved. CONT
mental powers, especially Russia, sup
press the fact SO far as possible. In many
Russian provinces the scarcity
Of food became pronounced as
far back as February last. In the Kon-
stantinovka district many families have
not cooked meat since Easter, but sub
sist on bread, soaked rye, grain, etc, be-
slowed in charity. The prohibition of
rye exports IS followed by ukase for
bidding the shipment of bran and other
cereal cattle foods. The astounding
shortage in Russia's yield of rye, an
nounced month since by the ministry
of finance, proves even greater than the
most extravagant estimates, and effect
ually obliterates all possibility of Russia
exporting any of her scant wheat crop.
That Eastern Germany is in practically
the same plight admits Of no doubt. In
deed the danger of famine is destined to
spare Europe the horrors of war for fully
a twelve month hence.
Accepting the largest estimates of pro-
duction, both at home and abroad, and
even assuming that the United States
and Canada can export 225 100000 bush
els, there is deficit in the worlds food

Kick From kidder.

A farmer writes to the Dawson Times
There seems to he disposition on the
part of elevator companies and their
agents to see how much fault they can
find with the farmers wheat, whether it
is deserved or not. IT it is threshed out
of the shock, or stands little too long
before it is cut lit is bleached," and a
cent or two par bushel must be knocked
of. Then again lit is blistered"-nice
plump wheat-looks like mo. hard"-
weighs all right, too, but lit is bllstered,'
and 50 q couple of grades must be taken
off for that. Take the grading as it was
done last fall, and the com mparative prices
OF the different grades. To grade No. 3
it must weigh 81 pounds, if 1t only weighs
So pounds it was graded rejected" and
ten or eleven cents less paid than for No.
8; that Is, 10 or II cents less for 60
pounds of wheat that would test 50 than
for 60 pounds that would test "a. Is
there any justice in such plan? The
disposition seems to be not honesty and
fair dealing, but to get the best wheat
possible for the least money possible, or
in other words to rob the farmer as much
as possible of the fruits of his hard
earned toll.
They seem to be starting in this fall
on the same old plan. The agents who
have charge of the elevators to receive
and grade wheat would do all right if
they did not receive ''jackipg up every
little while from headquarters. For sew
everal years past the first few loads taken
to the elevator, when the agent was per-
mitted to use his judgment and make
grades according to the merits of the
wheat, was properly graded, and the
farmer received something near an equiv
alent for his wheat.
Every farmer should keep posted on
the Duluth and Minneapolis prices, and
be able to dictate to the elevator com.
pan1es what he will and what he will
not do.
Almost every farmer has one or more
carloads of wheat, and with very little
extra trouble can ship his own wheat,
and so get "all there is IN it," Why
should We allow any one to make profit
OF 5 to 6 cents bushel on our wheat
and perhaps cheat us out Of our grade at
the same time, when We can find rem
edy by shipping our own wheat.

How to Make Fire Guards.

N. s. French CT LaMoure county
writes about fire protection to the Chron
icle as follows:
II cut with header, and when I finish
a field or a setting, cut two swaths
with the header, in the long stubble, in
a circle around the stacks, some thirty
feet away. By running the machine as
close to the ground as possible, and by
and one away from them, I leave cir
Gle nearly thirty feet wlde-if cut with
IA foot header-having stubble too
short to burn in any common fire. Then
to make sure take my disc harrow. as
soon as l am all done cutting, and disc
this circle until the short stubble is
nearly ell covered with dirt, and am
positive no fire can cross it. This plan is
better than ploughing, for two reasons:
First, it takes less time and is therefore
cheaper. Second, there are no deep fur
rows to bother in threshlng, &c. Shocked
grain can only be protected by plowlng,
or moving and discing around the whole
field-another good argument IN favor of
stacking or cutting with header.
Fire-guards should be plowed on
every township line. We insure against
hail and smudge and swear at the frost,
and lay around like 'stoughton bottles
and allow prairie fires-nine-tenth OF
which could be prevented-to do more
damage every year than frost and hail
combined. We blow about artesian irri
cation and artificial rainfall and the like
and allow the annual burning of mulch
of grass ETC., that, if saved, would add
more to the humidity of this climate
than all the rainfall that will ever be
blowed out of the heavens. But if We
can't save all the grass from being
burned, do for heavens sake and oul
own sake let US try to save the crops We
have raised.
