SOME PRAIRIE BREEzEs.


Don't kick about the snow because,
Obedient to Natures laws,
1t gets pushed out into the air
And SO it has to fall somewhere.
1t does no good TO fret and frown,
1t can't fall up-it must fall down.
In walking down the street don't kick,
Ii tiattened by a falling brick,
1t got pushed out into the air
And so it had to fall somewhere
You haven't anything to say,
You shouldn't have been in the way.
When you fall down and strike the
ground.
DON'T wake all the still echoes round
And swear because the earth was there
10 greet you, for it isn't fair,
Just think how far you'd have to fall
If there had been no earth at all.
When you are driving nails don't swear
Because your thumb nail happens
there. -.
For goodness sake don't fret and wall
Because You drive your own thumb

You know YOU never have TO do
1t if You really don't want to.

A correspondent of the jamestown
Capital has the following to say of the
advantages of a competitive line of
road-which is equally true of Bis
marck and should be noted carefully:
As soon as a competitive road comes
in here our town will begin to grow
in size and in population. New build
ings will go up all over the city.
Wholesale houses and factories will
locate here. new enterprises will spring
up, unrentable property will be sought
after. real estate will enhance in value,
our population will probably double
itself in five or six years. and the town
will furnish a much better market for
the farmers produce. When James
town doubles her population then the
farmers will have a market for twice
as much potatoes, eggs, butter, poul-
try. milk, cheese, mutton, veal, pork,
beef. oats, hay, etc. as is now sold in
the town. Let a competitive road
come into jamestown and let the town
double her population and this will
AID five or six dollars in value to every
acre of land within ten miles of our
city. Even the n. 2. lands viii go up
in value. There is no doubt of it that
there viii be a good opening here for a
linseed oil mill, a WOODEN mill, and a
flax fiber factory, as con as James
town can get wholesale rates in
freightS.
In 1885 jamestown had a population
of 2,4t0, and in 1900 her population is
estimated at -3.0001a growth of only
600 in fifteen years. This slow growth
could not have been possible if James
town had had a competitive railroad
during the past fifteen years. Enter
nrising business men have more con-
fidence in a town and are more willing
to invest their money where n town
has competitive rates in freights.
Some one suggests that it would be q
sensible thing for our citizens to raise
the money to pay off the $500 debt on
the fair grounds, and then donate the
whole plot OF ground TO the 500 road
for a depot, site, shops and round
house. Whatever is done we ought
all TO pull together" unanimously,
and when the road is once secured this
town will fall into line with the pro-
gressiye cities Of North Dakota.

Fall Treatment of Wheataelds and
Timothy Meadows. &%

Fall Treatment of Wheatflelds and
Timothy Meadows.
Reports are coming to the Ohio lagri-
cultural experiment station complain
ing Of serious ravages of the Hessian
fly in wheatields. In many cases it is
being claimed that among the early
sown fields hardly a plant has escaped
attack. The question is frequently ask
ed whether it will pay to resow at this
late date. In all cases where the first
sowing has been destroyed by the fly
the ground should be replowed before
sowing. In fact, it may be said that if
fields have been ravaged past all posi-
bility of securing a profitable crop next
year such fields should he plowed this
fall or very early next spring, prefera-
bly, the former. 1t is probably too late
now to risk resolving this fall, but it
must be understood that if left above
ground the fly will develop in these
fields next spring and go to other fields
to work it's ravages. '-.

infested to warrant blowing under this
fall, that is a matter that each farmer
must settle for himself. If the soil is
rich and the weather during fall and
spring very favorable for plant growth
the grain will yet send up a second
growth Of tillers this fall, which, il
they withstand the winter, with a very
70 x-oroh1n crpfnO will cr1priu orrnf1rh
straw to produce part of a crop. But
the risk is great, and no n not on the
ground al safely advise in the matter.
Late sown wheat is escaping very
largely the fall attacks of the fly, but
the close proximity to a seriously in
jured field will endanger ven a late
sown field to attack next spring unless
the early sown field is plowed under
before the adult flies appear.
In western and southern Ohio chinch
bugs winter largely among matted
| grass, fallen leaves and other rubbish.
They also winter yer in great num-
bers in shocks of corn fodder, left out
in the fields over winter, and outbreaks
in w%heatfields, rel where sown among

to such shocks standing out over win
ter among the wheat. Shocks of corn
or fodder should be drawn in from off
the wheatields this fall. When posi-
BILE to do so, all matted grass, fallen
leaves or other rubbish bordering on
wheatfields should be burned between
this date and May 1 next.
In the timothy meadows of northern
and northeastern Ohio, where the TIM
omthy grass has this year been de-
stroyed. examination should be made
about the roots Of the grass along the
margins Of such areas of destruction.
If chinch bugs are found, they can be
prevented from doing further injury
next spring by blowing the ground
quite deeply now, which will place
them so far below the surface that
they will be destroyed and thus pre-
vented from continuing their ravages
next year. In timothy meadows the
pest must be looked for just below the
surface OF the ground about the bulb.

Points Ahout pitching.

In advising a correspondent as to the
best shape for a large ditch The Coun-
try Gentleman says: The round bottom
ditch, Fig. i, would be far preferable
to the square bottom, Fig. 2. The dia-
gram sent, showing a cross section of
the ditch, is shown by the dotted lines.
The proposed angles as outlined are
too steep. They should be not less than
80 degrees from the perpendicular, and
with this large flow OF water an angle
of 4 degrees might be better, since the
sides of the ditch when they are wet
