STATE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.


The republicans Of North Dakota In

The present happy and prosperous CON

of the wise administration of the repub-

Four years Of democratic rule had para

English Sparrows.

The Practical Farmer asks It's read
ers: "Shoud the English sparrow be-
destroyed? If so, how would you go
about it?' out Of u replies all but one
declare that they should be eXtermi-
mated or destroyed as far rs may be
possible. and that one charges them
with foullng and spelling hay in the
barn and driving away the song birds.
The charges Of eating small grain and

failure TO catch insects and their drly-
ing away or eating the eggs Of the ma
tive insect eating birds, as song spar
rows, blucbirds, swallows, martins,
robins, bobolinks and others, are al
luded to by nearly all. rs also their
filthy habits around buildings. The
methods of destroying them advised
arc bgiting and shooting in the fall,
feeding with poisoned grain in winter,
catching In traps, also best done in
winter and destroying all nests and
eggs during spring and summer. NJ CHI
lgan, Pennsylvania and Illinois have
paid n bounty for their scalps, Penn
sylvania having spent between $4,000
and 100000 for that purpose in two
years. Illinois pays cents head for
them. But what is needed is concerted
action by all the states and active CO
operation by all the farmers and in

This year more than the usual season
has shown the value of nitrate of soda
as used for a top dressing on grass
lands I'm the spring, says The American
Cultiyator. The early part Of the sea-
son was so wet and dry that stable or
barnyard manure applied then did not
decompose in time to produce any in
crease on growth Of grass. Manure
that was put on last fall as a top dress
ing helped to protect grass roots and
was washed down into the soil so as to
feed the grass and clover this spring.
and we claim that is the proper time to
use such manure as top dressing, while
the spring Is the time to use chemicals,
and we like about 100 to 200 pounds Of
nitrate of soda, 200 to 300 pounds Of
acid phosphate and $50 to 200 pounds
muriate OF potash per acre, changing
the amount Of nitrogen and potash ac-
cOrding to what we think are the needs
Of the soil II we know its previous
treatment. Land which has within a
few years had liberal dressings Of sta
bic manure or OF clover plowed under
will not need much nitrogen, and other
soils may need but little potash.

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Faithful Sophie Holmes A Mark
Twain stOry-Wanted Heard
on the subject.

old Sophie Holmes, The FIRST negro
woman ever appointed TO a position In
the United States government service
and one of the oldest and most trusted
employees Of the treasury department,
died In Washington recently at the ripe
age Of 20 years.
Born in Washington, she was ap-
pointed charwoman in the treasury
department under Lincoln's edmlnls-
tration in 1868 and soon after her ap-
pointment performed a deed that guar
antccd to her life position.
While at work one afternoon she dis
covered large number of treasury
notes in a wastebaskct. She stared ut
the big bunch of grccnbacks, realizing
that fortune was in her grasp as the
result Of some ones blundcr, and then
picking the wad Of money out gingcrly
she wrapped 1t in her apron and sat
down on 10 TO await the coming of
Treasurer Spinner, as it was his Gus
tom To make n visit To The building ev-
cry night
Sophie soon heard the footsteps Of
Treasurer Spinner and shouted to him
at the top Of her voice. He FASTENED 10
her. pistol I'm hand, not knowing what
to expect. She calmly got up and hand
cd him the package Of uncut money.
The act pleased him SO much that he
requested that her position be made
one OF life tenure and had her salary
raised to a comfortable sum-
On another occasion she detected n
man stealing $1,000 from the counting
room of the treasury and raised the
alarm. which caused the detection and
arrest of the thief with tie booty OF
him.
Sophie saved enough I'm the first year
Of her employment To buy the freedom
Of her husband. then a slave. The old
ncgrcss was known To every employee
Of the treasury department In the big
building and was liked by everybody.

Various methods have been adopted
OF covering the sllo to preserve the 81
lage on and near the surface, says Pro-
fcssor Shaw i'm his new book, Sorting
Crops and the Slo." These include
covering with old lay or straw I'm the
cut or uncut form TO the depth Of from
one to several feet, covering with some
kind/of cloth through which the air
does not easily penetrate and then
placing over this n layer OF hay or
straw. covering with boards generally

weighing the holrds with some heavy
substance as stone or barrels hllcd

over the surface OF the silagc and then
pouring or sprinklnc water over IL e.

dense growth of grain and grain roots.

Covering with cloth viii probably

method. but the covering thus provided

not yet been proved.
Covering with boards thought AT one
time Co De absolutely essential, has
been almost entirely discarded, not be-
cause Of its want Of efficacy 50 much
as because Of the labor involved. Tho
benefits derived from it. are greater
when some covering is put on as de-
scribcd above before the planks are
laid over the food and weighted with
stone or indeed any other heavy sub

weighing the silage will be lcsscned
by giving much tramping 10 the food

cause Of the salutary influence which
the weighing cxcrts on the silage for
some distance from the surface. even
though # may not have lost It's color.
But the practice Is not in favor be-
cause Of the cost involved.
The plan of covering silage by strew-
ing grain-as oats, for instlnce-over
the top Of the same and then pouring
water more or less copi)us'y over the
mass Is a good one The heat engcn-
dcred I'm the silo starts az once a rank
growth in the grain. The growth If
ton and root becomes so dense as TO 20
far toward excluding the air. And
when the living mass falls down and
decays the influence eXerted. for some
time at least is practically the same,
hence there IS usually but little loss in
the silage This plan has the merit of
chcapness. Of economy in labor re-
qured and Of efficacy in a marked de-
gree.

Patti is a personality who always at

and managers have before now found
her not at all willing to reduce that
fee. On one occasion she had lively
discussion with an impresariO. He
