Now we want the reader to
understand that this is a general
plan. 1t may not fit your indi-
vi.lual taste nor the adaptabiIity
of your farm. In farming we
must always keep in view the
natural advantages afforded us
10y soil, climate, locationnnd fea-
lures of the land, because the
crop or product that is the most
favored by these natural condi-
lions is invariably the most
profitable all around, but it is
also true that whatever crop or
method romes nearest to;l mans
taste or inclination will b. likely
to prove the most successful to
him and for this reason q man
must III making up aplan for the
future consult both his taste and
the adaptability of his farm.
We have given the largest area to
wheat; because we consider that
spnria ly favore by nature, gener-
ally sppaking, while ON the lighter
soils in the mort heaStern part OF
the county we would recommend
less wheat and more corn, roots
and potatoes: on the ct her hand
we would advise more wheat and
less corn on the heavier soils of
the western and southern parts.
Wheat wants the best of soil
with Il compact seed bed; the lat
ter can best he attained by the
use of the harrow. Fall dragging
is generally the best and the next
best is early in the spring asSoon
az frost is out sufficiently to
make the harrow work we'll. II
the drill is used in seeding, drag
ging with fine tooth harrow is
advisable to prevent the escape
of soil moisture, WHICH is an i'm
portant matter in our dry eli:
mate. In preparing the ground
for a corn crop it is customary
to give the land a dressing O.
manure and it is a good plan !
the manure is we'll rotte'l; but il
green and mixed up with straw
and rubbish it will injure rather
than benefit the corn crop, as i
will make the land loose, porous
and liable to dry out. Burning
OF the ground Immediately be
fore blowing will of course over
come this, but wedoubt the econ
omy OF that method. A phi
tooth light harrow is the bes
implement to kill off weeds, bu
it must be made use OF as 500
as the weed seed starts to germ
nate and kept up until the cor
is up three or four inches. Th
special advantage OF harrowin
as a weed exterIninator is that
kills the weed close to the cor

Who Pays ne Surveying Bill

w llO dyo VIC Jul Wy 1A16 DAA1'
Editor Willmar Tribune:
DEAR. S1R:-I have learned
through reading the report OF
proceedings of the County Com
misioners in the ''Tribune' that
there has been a public ditch
built over in St. Johns and that
the County Surveyor has been
allowed for services on said ditch
5000 50 and the viewers of same
$102.5O, and there is a charge
OF $7.77 for oak stakes, making
total OF $4O4.02.
One would naturally infer from
their bills that the Commission
ers and the County Surveyor
had been superintendingthe build
ing Of a ship canal capable OF
floating a good sized Ocean
Steamer, instead of a snail ditch
to carry off a little surplus water.
would like to ask the County
Commissioners how many public
bitches we are going to have
that will cost the County
500. for surveying and viewing?
II this money was expended ju-
di'iously in improving tho public
highway SO that all would he
bpnetitpd alike no one could OBJ
ject, if done in prosperous times;
but in times like the present,
when farmers and others can
hardly pay their taxes, the pub
lie ditch business should stop.
Yours Respectfully,

course it is an important and
vital question with him how h.

this article to help devise some
Way or plan whereby this can he

change or bre;kiny off of old

license law differs considerably from the
American. We have two laws-one that
has reference only to London and the
other to the provinces. The laws are In
reality n law and an amendment to q
law. Subsidiary acts relate to Sunday
closing, selling to children under 13 years
of age, etc.
"There are several Sunday laws. In
London saloons are closed from IL to 1
o'clock, open from to 3, then closed un-
til early evening, after which they remain
open until IL o'clock. Different laws were
enacted for Scotland, Wales and the Isle
of Man. y Ireland the five most popu-
lous cities are exempted from the provis-
ions of the Sunday closing law. ats
"The American impression that our
Sunday law works satisfactorily Is err

violated. The police, as a rule, are in
league with the publicans. Police drink
at prohibited times and IN prohibited
places"

pERlLoUs FEAT OF a WOMAN.


P1ucky Mrs. Rogers Plants an Amer.
lean Flag ON Dcvirs Peak.
Perhaps the most novel celebration
of the Fourth of July this year was Mt
.eundance, Crook county, Wyoming.
where q woman climbed the Devils
Tower and planted the American flag
1,605 feet above the heads OF an i'm
mense crowd of applauding people.
The Devils Tower Is one OF the nat
ural wonders Of the West. Its top Is
1906 feet above the level of the Belle
Fourche River, which flows at Its base,
and the tower proper. which Is almost
perpendicular. Is 665 feet In height.
The tower Is a landmark for a great
extent of country, and from some d.
rectf0ns can be seen with a glass for
q distance of one hundred miles. 1t
was used by the Indians as n signal
tower from which fires gave warning
Of the approach of hostile tribes or of
the presence Of whites, but until 1893.
when w. b. Rogers. of Sundance, sue
ceeded in climbing to its top, no white
man had scaled 1t. The fact had been
generally advertised for about month
that Mrs. Rogers, wife Of the man who
made the ascent of the tower two
years ago, would attempt to climb to
the top on the Fourth, and people from
al parts of Northeastern Wyoming,
some of them driving fifty miles. were
present to see what the majority pro-
nounced an impossible feat.
Mrs. Rogers made the ascent with
alarming ease and rapidity, going from

DRUGGISTS TALK FIGHT.

Convention Mt Denver Declares War
on Rate Stores.
Nearly fifteen hundred retail druggists,
coming from all parts Of the Union and
representing the sixty thousand persons
engaged in that business in the United
States, participated in the forty-third an
nual convention Of the American Phar-
maceutical Association at Denver. The
delegates were called to order in the as
Sembly. hall Of the Brown Palace Hotel
by the president of the organization, Will
lam Simpson, of Raleigh, N. c., who de-
livered lengthy address dealing with
numerous questions affecting the drug
gists of the country. There was some
plain talk concerning the competition to
which the retail druggists are subjected
from dry goods, department and other
stores, as well as from the "cut rate
emporiums that are now to be found in
every large city. This is sore point with
the delegates, who now find their business
being diverted to the cut-rate stores.
Many of them were of the opinion that
the only plan for relief is to beat the
cutters" at their own game by cutting
prices to bedrock until they are glad to
get out of the business.

likely appreciably to divert traffic from

ley has presented his report both to his
bdslhess associates and 10 the committee
of the Produce Exchange and other ASSOC

campaign for the appropriation Of 3d.

Important information given by Mr.. Haw-
ley was an estimate MS to, the probable
effect upon the great lakes OF the diver
sion of great body of water through
this canal. His report was that there
can be no question that ian enormous
quantity of water will be taken from
Lake Michigan for the filling Of this ca
nal The best estimates that he could OBJ
tain were that this volume will be con-
stantly equal to one-third that contained
In the Mississippi River above the mouth
of the Missouri, or three times that Of
the Ohio River. Mr.. Hawley's report
upon the suggestion that the Chicago,ship
canal might seriously divert traffic from
the Erie was very brief. For 1t Is all a
matter Of conjecture. !. In Chicago It Is
looked upon as a certainty that consider
able lake commerce will seek the sen

this canal is completed. On the other
hand, Mr.. Hawley says that in the West
1t is thought that the canal will bring

and that new and distant localities in the

A Philadelphia fire, which did damage

five-story building occupied by Brown Il
Bailey as paper-box mandatory, and
before the flames had been got under

mated on the first floor of the building

was nearly 8 o'clock before an engine had
responded to the alarm. The delay
proved disastrous, as the infammable

flames before the firemen arrived. The
principal losers are Brown & Bailey and
Buck & Co. The formers loss will reach
$3.50, 600, with an insurance of 100000;
