Starting from the north or south

ZOn.
TO realize the character Of q country
that admits Of this, imagine starting a
plow in the ground at Detroit and
striking a furrow in q Decline for Gin
c%innati, some 200 miles away, without
once turning aside for rock, tree, hill
or swamp! Aside from crossing q few
small streams, such a feat is possible
in North Dakota; and every foot Of
tho upturned soil would be Of rich,
black loan that, without fertilizer, is
already supplying the second and third
generation Of men without perceptible
decrease Of it's native virtues. The
value of the native grasses has al
ready been mentioned. At the agri-
cultural college at Fargo, a superb col
lection Of these may be seen, ranged
in attractive punches side by side.
This same institution is growing
many of the cultivated grasses sue
cessfully, among them being the Aus
trian bronze grass and timothy, while
the clovers and other forage plants
have been grown to perfection.
Through the efforts of seedsmen and
skillful farmers, varieties Of Indian
corn have been developed and intro
duced that are fairly certain of reach
ing maturity. The advantages of high
ATTITUDES in growing vegetables has
long been known, and some of the rea-
sons have already been pointed out.
Add to this a deep soil that never
bakes, and, with good cultivation, does
not dry out, and you have the ideal
conditions for vegetables. Cabbage,
lettuce, potatoes, celery, beets. onions
etc., grow to practical perfection. T0
cite a single illustrations: The experl,
mental station in connection with the
agricultural college, grew onions in
1897 that yielded at the rate of ovel
1900 bushels to the acre, while single
heads Of Goes lettuce weighed three
pounds. The rapid growth that these
vegetables makes gives them a tender

WHAT DO.

The renter in the East expands his
energies for others. TO occupy and be-
gin the cultivation of n free North Da-
kota homestead means the creation at
once Of a property worth $1,000 or
more, and every year thereafter the
equivalent of a laboring mans wages
back East will be added to the value
Of the farm. Are you living on a rent
ed farm back East? Have you teams
and farming implements? BY all means
come to North Dakota and get a farm
Of your own, and in a few years time
you car become worth more money
than you can make in a lifetime where
you are now. The Improvements you
make on a farm will be your own.
All farmers with large families and
moderate means can do better in this
country than in any region in the
United States. Those who have a mort
gagged home East had better sell and
come West and buy anew on what they
can save out Of the wreck. Any young
farmer who controls from $500 to $1,000
can grow into independence here.
Those who have stock and machinery,
but no land, can come here and rent
land and buy a home from the profits
Of the first season. Quarter sections,
100 acres, now owned by mortgage
companies, can be had Mt from $3.50 to
$1,000, often on time. They are worth
$1,000. One crop will more than pay
for the land. The land costs less than
the rental for n year in the Eastern
states. The Industrious and sober me1
are the aristocrats of North Dakota
They become the men Of wealth and
standing. The only classes here are the
thrifty and shiftless: the state is con.
trolled by the former.-Fargo Record,

freieht rates was hardly fair, % the
blame lies largely with the wheat
growers themselves for failure to clean
their wheat properly before shipment
and for sending tons Of good cattle
feed to Eastern terminals, for which
they received no pay, but, in addition,
mid high freight rates. His investdgar
lions had shown that there were thou
sands of tons of feed shipped into this
country annually and paid for nj q
high rate. He advocated feeding re.
fuse grain to the cattle, and shipping
cattle at $ per cent of the cost, rather
than cheap wheat at 20 per cent OF ITS
value. His figures on live stock
showed q decrease for he last SIX
years in number, with a corresponding
increase in price, and foretold O future
Of prosperity for the farmer who IN
vested in cattle and combined the III
dustry, intelligently, with wheat rails
ing.
Vice President Gregg spoke on cat.
tie feeding. and the relative values Of
corn in the shock and oat hay.
Prof. Hayes, Of the Minnesota exper-
fment station, followed On the subject
Of "Crop Rotation" This interesting
subject was handled in a mastery man.
e and evoked much discussion from
the participants in the convention.
Fodder Corn.
Wednesday night the first address
was by e. G. Childs Of Crookston, who
is a very we'll known dairyman and
farmer. He gave an interesting half.
hour lecture on "Fodder Corn" and
hfo nrv,1~scr,00r 1,,1 nav, ~ ~ c0nC IN
feeding dry corn and ensilage. His ex-
periments have been carried on in q
very scientific manner and are Of much
value.
Prof. Waldron was next introduced,
and gave IN address on "What 1t Costs
to Grow Weeds in North Dakota" His
statement was that the cost was 81 an
acre, which means millions Of dollars
to the people Of the state. He stated
that as wheat was only SO cents per
bushel, some might dispute his claim,
because there were scarcely ever two
bushels Of seeds to the acre n the
amount Of wheat harvested. This, he
thought, was the smallest item.
The weed takes up the nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash from the
earth. A ton of weeds contains enough
Of these, if marketed in proper form,
to bring owe $12. With a quarter Of q
ton Of weeds to the acre the loss would
be So.
The weeds absorb so much moisture
that a dirty crop would be damaged 81
least one-fourth by decreased yield.
They were usually of larger foliage
than the wheat plant, and deprived the
latter Of light.
All these aus a loss Of at least one
fourth Of the wheat crop, in a weedy
field, with deteriorated grades and ex
cess dockage.
The weeds also cause the wheat tt
run out, and in a few years the plant
would return to its original condition
as wild grass.
Most Of the seeds are annual, and tn.
full trouble would begin when the per
ennial weeds get firmly established
here.

The topography Of North Dakota,
especially that of the eastern 10000
square miles, assigns it to the first
classification; and while its great. lev
Ell areas are generous as soil may be,
yet there is no suspicion Of wasteful-
ness, and the rich heritage Of earlier
ages is conserved and held in place so
surely and completely that centuries
may pass and leave the region still
fruitful and productive.

Western farmers on cheap lands
compete with Eastern farmers on
high-priced lands. Ten-dollar land in
the West will produce as much or
more than hundred-dollar land in the
East.

the rotation Of crops and the treatment
Of the soil. Among the farms Of tho
Eastern states summer following holds
q conspicuous place. If summer fal.
lowing is valuable there it is doubly SO
here. No soil responds more readily to
fertilization and improvement than
does that Of I'll rich prairies. While
the rearing Of stock is the very best
method of improving land, the average
farmer can only rely on this to a limit
ed extent. But let it be remembered
that in this country there is land
enough to entitle it to all the rest it
needs.
Diversified farming should be the
rule and aim. Every wise farmer will
aim to increase his stock Of horses, cat.
tie, hogs and sheep. A large factor in
the profits OF stock raising consists in
land fertilization. The enrichment and
high cultivation of the soil is the grand
highway to success.
Thursday nights work closed the
convention, with an address by Prof.
Kaufman, Of the North Dakota agrd.
cultural college, on dairying, and the
final address Of the meeting, a very
characteristic one, by Budd Reeve, re-
viewing the work Of the convention
and congratulating everybody on it's
unbounded success. The convention
has brought the farmers closer togeth-
er, closer to the agricultural college and
Its faculty, and giving them an intelli-
gent conception Of the immediate ne.
cess'ty OF taking some steps to improve
the quality of the seed sown and to
protect the reputation for fine grades
OF wheat which the land Of the No. 1
hard has always possessed, but which
} 1t Is now in danger of losing on ac.
count of the deterioration Of the grade.

GEMS LOST IN SEAS SANDS.
Many Precious stones Have Be-
DrOnncd by

The recent loss by a Chicago woman Of
fashion of a valuable diamond earring upon
the sands of Newport has led to reminis-
cences of other similar losses. 1t has been
computed that over 81, 900, 900 worth of jew
els are lost every season at American sum-
mer resorts. The greater part OF these dis
appear at the seaside, and 1t Is believed that
a comparatively small part are actually
stolen. At the various summer resort ho-
tells at this time every bulletin board will be
profusely placarded with notices offering all
sorts of rewards for the finding or return
of missing Jewels. Last year the loss of jew
els frequently amounted TO $4,000 in a single
instance.
At some OF the most fashionable resorts,
such as Newport or Bar Harbor. the owners
of very costly jewels frequently take the
p~Iecaution of leaving the gems In some safe
deposit vault in the city and sending all the
way to town for them every time they are
needed. That 30 much more jewelry is lost
proportionately In the summer than during
the winter is due to the rather foolish dis
play which is made OF such valuables on
hotel piazzas, the sands, and even In the
ocean itself. The bathers at the fashionable
resorts sometimes indulge in the caprice oil
appearing In the water wearing several thou,
sand dollars worth of diamonds. Thu
chances OF losing these trinkets while ex'
ercising or lying about on the beach are
Of course. very great. The loss OF jewelrJ
in this way is constantly causing much un'
Just suspicion. A wealthy woman at Mar
ragansett last summer reported the loss q
some $1,000 worth of jewels to the hote
proprietor and suggested that the hotel EN-
ployes might throw some light on the sub
ject. A careful investigation failed to re
veal the Jewels. however. until early thi
summer, when the lady herself on return
ing to the hotel found them under a loos'
board in the floor where she had hersel
placed them a year ago for safe keeping an
completely forgotten them.

There was some realizing at other points

and a few weak spots made the market

vigorous upward movement attracted quite
a large volume of buying orders TO the
commission houses and the tone OF the
market was thus strong from the opening.
The weekly reports OF the various trade

reporting helped on the upward movement.
