Prison Twine Plant.

1t is interesting to note the pro-
gress being made at the state penal
institution. the latest to be worked
out being the introduction of the
twine plant. Warden Boucher is
hard at work getting things in readi-
ness, and he will have his hands full
for some time to come. He recently
visited the Minnesota states prison
where plant has been in operation
for number of years. When it was
at first put in there the residents of
the state, especially the farmers who
were in most parts, the sole con-
sumers of the product, were back
ward about sending in their orders.
They feared an inferior article.
Gradually by consistent management
and little advertising, this feeling
has disappeared and in notice re-
Gently issued by Warden Wclfer it
was announced that the full, limit of
the plant has been contracted for and
no more orders would be received
under any consideration.
They manufactured good strong
durable twine there. North Dakota
will do even better for the reason
that its machinery is of the very late
est and most approved pattern and
has attsched the very latest mechani-
cal devises for the turning out of a
superior article. It will be a good
occupation for the prisoners, and it
is safe in saying, will enable them to
produce greater revenue fol, the
state than any ether occupation that
they might be set at.
We shall watch with interest the
work of the twine plant, for the North
Dakota states prison, and when it is
completed we urge the farmers to pat
ronize it. The state will be able to
furnish you better twine and at a
lower rate than you have ever been
able to purchase even an inferior
article for in the past.-Grand Forks

Margaret Montgomery offers,
in the Jnne Ladies Home Journ-

for spending a summers vaca-

her own experiences in passing
her Vacation in a Vacated
Farmhouse, and is therefore
practical. She asserts that the
days were delightfully."- spent,
that the party gained in health

was small. There are probably
enough vacant houses in many

1t is said that plant called

the alkali. It has been success
fully tried in California. The
Leeds Review has some of the
seeds to give away. Another
remedy suggested in the Dakota
Farmer is: If you have any
alkali or '.gumbo' places on your
farm land, pile all the old dry
hay, straw, litter, ETC.. on it, two
feet deep at least. better four or
six. When the ground is dry
set the trash on fire. The fire
seems to burn up the alkali salts
and the ashes to fertilize the
ground. This remedy has
sscured" spots for us and we
would like to hear if it's applica-
tion is a success elsewhere. It
is best to cultivate a season after
burning.
