COMMENT cannot permit the above to
pass without a mild dissent from the
plan outlined by Mr.. Grimsley. If the
vines are permitted 10 stand until a fair
crop of peas shall have matured, the
vines will have become woody and much
less nutritious. by this time, as a rule,
the ground will he covered with the yell

Rotting Cotton seed-Cockle Burrs

Rctting Cotton Seed-Cockle Burrs.
". T. Watts. Burnsville. Ala.-I have
5000 bushels OF cotton seed in a shcdroom
adjoining my giuhouse. which L wish 10
heat before putting on land. Is there
amy danger OF fire by running water in
and heating them i'm The room? My farm
land on the river yields such crop of
cOckieburrS IN the fail it's very trouble
Sofae to gather the crop. Is there any
way to get rid Of the burrs? Do the seed
all come mp the first year. or do some lie
i'm the ground until the second YEAR, You
Will confer a favor by answering.
Answer have never heard of a case
Of spontaneous combustion of cotton
seed, but IT might possibly occur If the
seed are not sufficiently wet. But you
VIII find it very difficult to wet the seed
in the mass. Better build a close pen
outside and wet large place in the cen
ter Of the mass of seed as they are filled
I'm. using rakes and hoes. II you are not
more than ten or twelve miles from Il
cotton oil mill. or a station on rail-
road leading To such a mill. it would be
a great deal better 10 exchange your seed
for cotton meal. on the basis Of 1.lOO 10
l,2o pounds OF meal for one ton of seed.
The mills In Georgia are giving I,-uO
pounds of meal for each ton OF seed, 500
pounds If meal is the fcrtiizing equiva-
lent of one ton Of seed. So YOU Will set,
On this basis, 400 pounds of meal as a
bonus on each ton of seed. That amount
of meal is worth about -. How far can
you haul ton OF seed 10 the MN or
railroad or river station. and LOO pounds
of meal on the return trip, Tor 81! An
swcr the question for yourself. Mor,s
over, the meal is a valuable cattle food.
and yields very valuable manure when
fed to cattle.
The only way t. get rid Of cookie burTs
IS to destroy the pants before the seeds
form. This can Dee done by clean culuNa-
tion Of the corn. cutting and shocking
,the corn when the ears begin To brown
and turn down. When The ocrn is cured
and ready for the barn and the stalks
rot che Shredder. turn over the land,
weeds and all. ana harrow until the
weeds are all killed. Then sow in oats
for "A change. Some Of the seeds may be

come up the first spring after they ripen
if not buried too deeply In the soil.

elected by an overwhelming ma
jority.
In selecting candidates for the
house the Republicans have been
equally fortunate. Geo. w. 81.
Davis is man eminently quail
fed to take a prominent part in
the deliberations of the law-mak-
ing body of the state. He is
bright Intellectually, energetic, in
dustrious and of unblemished re-
putation. Mr.. Davis is farmer,
and therefore thoroughly repre-
sentative of the agricultural class
which constitutes such an import
ant factor in the intelligence,
wealth and influence of Ramsey
county, He is a popular man and
his name will add strength to the
entire ticket.
One of the noble and strongly
marked characteristics of Harry A.
Nicholson may be inferred from
the fact that he is known as
"Honest Harry This simple
statement conveys more positive
meaning than would columns of
praise. His known integrity as a
business man will prove a source
Of great strength to him in the
campaign, while his recognized
fitness for the Office of representa-
tive ought to insure him the sup
port of every citizen who believes
that qualification is the essential
element to be required in a candi-
date.
This is the Republican legisla-
tive ticket. On it are the names
of clean and competent men who
will not only honor their party,
but who are capable of doing great
service to the county and state
When such candida tes are placed
in nomination it becomes the duty
of the party to unitedly support
them, and Republicans to man
ought to rally for this ticket.
The ticket in its entirety, however,
constitutes an appeal stronger
than can be put in words. No
we'll meaning Republican can af-
ford to or will even think of such
a thing as voting against Henry
Hale, Geo. w. 81. Davis or Harry
A. Nicholson.
Devils Lake inter-ocean., 1900-09-28
A STRONG TICKET.

Hon. Henry Hale for senator,
Geo. W. 81. Davis and Harry A.
Nicholson for representatives, un-
doubtedly comprise the strongest
ticket ever placed before the vot-
ers of the Twenty-frst Legislative
district and the citizens of Ramsey
county have reason to congratulate
themselves upon the privilege af-
forded them of supporting candi-
dates of such splendid capacity,
integrity and standing.
Henry Hale, who was nominated
for senator, is well and favorably
known to every voter in the
county. He has already served
one term in the Legislature, having
been member of the house al
the last session, and it is but stat.
ing truth to say that he was re.
cognized as power in that body
He is a man of good business
capacity, is clean morally, honest
conscientious and able, and will
worthily wear any honors his
fellow citizens may choose to con-
fer upon him. Mr.. Hale is a be.
lever in good laws and their en-.
forcement, hence the statute for.
bidding the liquor traffic in North
Dakota finds in him an uncom-
promising defender. No other
man could have been nominated
who would more creditably repre-
sent the district in the state senate
than Henry Hale and he should be

A BIT OF DEMOCRATIC HIS
TORY.

In politics as in everything else
''the lamp of experience is sure
guide to the feet" This maxim is
particularly appropriate to the pres
ent political campaign, especially
since the Democrats have taken to
inveighing SO vigorously against
the trusts, the aggressions of
which they have never seriously
resisted. It is simply a resort to
an old-time Democratic trick for
the purpose of carrying the cleo
ton.
History reveals that in the past
that political organization actually
did succeed in fooling the people
by false and meaningless agitation
and it is clearly in evidence that
the leaders hope to repeat the ex-
pertinent in 1900. A case in point
was furnished by the presidential
campaign Of 1874. In that
memorable contest the Democratic
standard bearer was James K.
Polk and at the beginning of the
campaign there was apparently no
prospect that he would be elected.
At that time, however, thequestion
of the northwestern boundary of
the United States was an open
issue, and taking advantage Of
this fact, the Democrats actually
turned the political tide and car
ried the election.
The United States claimed that
the territory of Oregon. extended
as far north as 81 degrees 40
minutes north latitude. This con-
ention the British government
disputed and the Democratic party
became the self-constituted cham
pion of the American claim. Its
orators and newspapers took up
the cry, "54 40or fght,'' mean
ing that they would resist to the
blood any attempt of the British
government to acquire possession
Of territory south Of that boun-
Diary. "Fifty-four forty or fight
became grand campaign rallying
cry. It rang from every hilltop

Still More Counterfeiting.

The secret service has unearthed
another band of counterfeiters and
secured a large quantity of bogus
bills, which are so cleverly exc
cuted that the average persoe
would never suspect them of benin
spurious. Things of great valug
are always selected by counter
feiters for imitation, notably tie
celebrated Hostetter's Stomath
Bitters, which has many imitators
but no equals for indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervous
ness and general debility. The
Bitters sets things right in the
stomach, and when the stomach is
in good order it makes good bloed
and plenty of it. In this manner
the Bitters get at the seat of
strength and vitality, and restore
vigor to the weak and debilitated.
Beware of counterfeits when buy
ing.
Devils Lake inter-ocean., 1900-09-28

and echoed through every valley.
The American people were
aroused, England insulted, and for
no other purpose than to elect
Polk, as subsequent events proved.
The cry of "54-4O or fight
carried Polk into the presidential
chair, and England, thoroughly
angered, began to prepare for war.
This terrorized the Democratic
leaders who had only been blufng
for electioneering purposes and
they began to look about for some
hole through which to crawl.
There was only one way out of the
dilemma, if they would not face it,
and that was to funk, and funk
they did. Instead of insisting on
their original claim they humbly
besought Great Britain to consent
that the 49th parallel of north
latitude should be agreed upon as
the northern boundary between
English and American possessions
and she finally granted the request,
but not until there had been a
humiliating spectacle presented
by the very statesmen who but a
few months before had been bel
lowing for war.
Thus did the Democratic party,
after a campaign of unparalleled
brag and bluster, meekly surrender
to Great Britain strip of Ameri-
can territory over 800 miles wide
and extending from the Rocky
Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.
History furnishes no more shame
full illustration of the insincerity
OF Democracy, when the object it
has in view is the attainment of
office and political power.
The lesson of 1874 should be
remembered today when the
Democratic party has set up bust
ness in opposition to the trusts
and to American expansion, for
never was it more apparent than
at the present time that the leaders
are insincere and not to be trusted.
It is not the enforcement of
great principles that they are
seeking, but spoils and Office, for
the sake of which, as in 1914, they
are willing to advocate any theory
or doctrine that promises them
hope of success, without a thought
of after considerations. Such men
are unworthy of confidence and if
the people act on any other belief
they will rue it afterward.

A WORTHY CANDIDATE.

John r. Cowan, who received
the nomination for judge of this
district at the Republican judicial
convention held at Rugby Tuesday
belongs to that class of men COM
monty styled self-made, because of
their having achieved success or
eminence by virtue of their own
talents and exertions. His rise in
life is solely due to industry, ap-
pication, intelligence and profess
sional integrity, qualities without
which no man need hope to sue
ceed in the practice of the law.
In whatever capacity Mr.. Cowan
has been called to act he has
served well the interests confded
to his care. His clients have found
him a friend and counsellor worthy
their confidence, while in public
life he has fully measured up to
the responsibility imposed. In
the Office of attorney general he
has acquitted himself with credit
to the state and honor to his own
name and more need not be said.
AS a lawyer Mr.. Cowan ranks
with the best. He is we'll versed
in legal lore, is possessed of a
judicial mind, and is fitted by
nature as well as training for a
judicial career. So much so is
this recognized that when it be-
came known that Judge Morgan
was likely to be elevated to the
supreme bench, many eyes were
instinctively turned toward John
F. Cowan as one eminently fitted
to succeed Judge Morgan, and his
nomination was largely due to this
speedy recognition.
Those who know Mr.. Cowan
best are confident that he viii
exercise the functions of judge
without ostentatious display, but
with frmness and dignity thai
cannot fail to command alike the
respect of the bar and the public
He will prove an exceptionally
strong candidate and there can be
no doubt concerning his election
