y l.. }. NoRTHcurT ras proposition fer
advertising Whitman county which
should be encouraged. He proposes
taking a car OF sample grains and other
farm products to Chicago, the transpo.-
tation of which has been arranged for
with the Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany, and all Northcutt asks is that the
county pay his expenses, which, he says,
will not exceed $3.50 Here is a chance
to advertise tire county at very little
cost which will do thousands Of dollars
worth of good, as 1t will show Whitman
county to be the banner county of the
state. The fairest way to raise this
money is for the county commissioners
to make an appropriation OF this amount,
but if this cannot be done, let each town
contribute something. Pullman will
give $50 if this plan is adopted, and
other towns doing likewise and the
amount Is made up, Samples for tn g,
exhibit are now being collected at the
Office Of Reider & Townsend, in Pullman,
and other towns should lend a helping
hand, collect samples and raise the
money asked, and do it at once, as the
time is limited. The Northern Pacific
has done lis full share il this matter.
and will ship all samples from any point
in the county 70 Pullman, free OF charge,
to be loaded on the ear. Let every
town contribute something SO that all
may be represented, and thus make it
county and not local affair. Further
particulars can be had by addressing

forum was a great undertaking for the
people of this city, and to make the en-
terprise the success that it now promises
will take the cooperation and assistance
Of every citizen of the town The COM
p'etion of the structure is costing some
more than was at first anticipated, and
the management still has an amount of
stock to dispose of. If you are not at
ready a stock holder you will not have
done your full duty by Pullman and
its enterprise till you subscribe for one
or more shares. The shares we're placed
at the low rate Of S25 each that all
could become interested, In order that
the auditorium may meet with a full
measure of success it is necessary that
the total amount of stock be sold, and
the shares yet remaining should meet
with ready sale. Invest a few dollars
in the Pullman auditorium and thus as.
sist valuable enterprise, and one that
will be worth much to the city.

was not In exceptional experience and
yet it was o a common one. He had
something over one hundred dollars of
his own money and this he took with
him t the city. He realized now that
he had his own fortune to make, and
he wasted no time in foolishness. Be
ing a farmer he vas naturally inter-
ested in the wheat market, and chance
threw him in the way of an option
broker. He invested a portion of his
capital and came out a winner. Again
he ventured and again won. Fortune

over ten thousand dollars He wrote a
line to Ike Staples to this effect, for
though he would not write home he
wanted his folks to know that he was
independent of them all of course
this was all duly reported with such
additions as Ike's friendly imagination
could invent. Matters were very live

one should be fully six inches lower
than the other. They should be double
the capacity of the usual flow of the
stream. Both of the races should be
from six to eighteen inches below the
top of the dam, so that no water can
ever run over the top of the lam even
in the heaviest freshet. Each race or
overflow should be made of planks
long enough to throw the water a good
distance beyond the base of the dam,
So the dam will not be undermined. If
fish are to be kept in the pond each
race must be protected by a WIRE net
to prevent their escape. The plank
wall not only supports the dam, but it
prevents the digging through it of
muskrats, etc, which often start a
leak that is not noticed until the dam
is ruined. These boards when covered
from the air will last almost indefinite
ly. For temporary use, such as float
ing the bog for cranberries, cutting
ice. irrigation. etc, where it is almost
a dead level, less p%recautiOn and eX-

Besides the fact that the coming
Thanksgiving was the date Of Judson's

alluded to for making the event espe-
cially festive was in connection with
Mandy Morton, the daughter of a we'll

Judson had known each other from in
fancy, and with the exception Of sea-
sons when little quarrels had com. be-
tween them they had always been
considered lovers They had been
keeping steady company" now for a
year or two, and it was generally ex-
pected by the families on both sides
that a formal engagement would be
made and announced on Thanksgiving
day, and the Morton family were there

casion.
The day before Thanksgiving had
been particularly unpleasant for judd

CORN FODDER TESTS.
Interesting Facts from the Maryland
Experiment Station.

Interesting Facts from the Maryland
Experiment Station.
Being impressed with the fact that in
many sections of Maryland there was
much valuable food material going to
waste, which if properly preserved
would save the expense of purchasing
hay and also enable farmers to keep
more stock, n feeding experiment was
undertaken at the Maryland station to
test the most economical method of
preparing and utilizing corn fodder and
determining the digestibility of various
parts of the plant. These experiments
which were made in 1912 form the
subject of a bulletin recently issued
from the station. Here is a summary
of the reported results:
l. All parts of the corn plant contain
valuable food materials, the dry mat
ter nearly the same composition.
=. The corn stubble and husks con
tain nearly 60 per cent. of the total
digestible matter produced by the plant
and the blades only u per cent
). Corn husks or shucks contain ~
per cent of digestible matter.
4. Corn stubble or butts contain Co.'S
per cent. of digestible matter.
5. Corn blades or leaves contain 64.2
per cent. of digestiblc matter.
6. Top corn fodder contains IS per
cent. of digestible matter.
:. There is more digestible matter
contained in the corn fodder from one
acre than in the ears.

Government officials in the north

activity by the appearance OF an
aluminium currency which has gained
extensive circulation in that section of
the country, and especially in South
Dakota. Thousands of dollars of this
currency have been manufactured here
in St. Paul and other places in the
northwest. 1t is used in trade, and
passes from hand to hand for value re-

When this coin was manufactured,

that the coin would come into general

one, and if taken hold of properly can
be made a genuine and permanent sue

twelve inches wide and eighteen inches
deep where the dam is desired. At
either end of this trench drive a stout
post as high as the dam is required, and
other posts at intervals to support a
rail two by four inches. Next nail

the bottom of the trench and fiat
against the side of the ditch, thus
forming a solid board fence the height
of the dam which is to be. Then let
the earth be rammed into the trench
and more soil brought and piled on
both sides of the fence and rammed
well until the fence is covered. The
base of the dam must be at least as
thick as its height, and if it is made
doubly thick it is still better. Espe-
cially must the slope toward the pond
be a broad one, as the more gradual the
slope of the dam on this side the great
err will be its power to resist the press
ure of the weight of the water. If a
large quantity of water is to be held in
check this slope must be paved with
cobbles or graveled to catch the force
of the waves
The exposed slope of the lam must
then be seeded or sodded, and no grass
