Railroad Meeting.

Ed. P1oNEER-PRoGREss: The
railroad meeting held in Willow
Lake, April 9th, was we'll attend
ed-He had a full house, and not
seats enough to go around. Por-
ter K1mball presided in the chair.
Hon. N. P. Rasmussen, of Val
ley City, addressed the meeting.
His speech was very interesting,
as he is familiar with every foot
of the land that the road would
run through; and after consider
ing the cost of construction and
figuring the volume of business
that would be tributary to said
road, it was plain to be seen that
the enterprise would be paying
one.
There were also a few short
but interesting speeches by 9th,
ers present. The organization
was made permanent, and a COM
mittee OF seven were chosen to

pays the following merited COM

for the successful upbui1ding of
the latter: "To the newspapers
of North Dakota great deal of
the credit is due for this increase

Of North Dakota has stood by
the state. Her newspapers have
gone far and wide over the length
and breadth of the land telling
the people everywhere of the

the marvellous resources Of this
great northwestern empire, Her
editors have never tired of
telling and emphasizing the story
of the great opportunities which
await all who seek to avail them
selves of them. They have kept
it up in season and out of season.
The work they have done can
never be repaid in dollars and

Grovinp RYE Probably.

In sections of the country where
wheat was formerly an important crop,
rye has largely taken its place. The
best method of growing rye is to seed
it with timothy in the fall, and follow
it with clover the next spring. This is
the plan used where rye is in the regu-
lar rotation after corn and oats. To
get the best results the seed should be
sown thinly on fairly good soil. The
time of sowing usually being early in
September, never later than the middle
of the month. If the soil is rich and in
good shape, one and one-half bushels
Of seed per acre drilled in is sufficient.
On land that is poor, a bushel and three
pecks is usually used in seeding. Rye
straw brings good prices in the market,
and as the grain is less likely to be in
jured by insects than wheat, and can
be grown on soil too poor for wheat, it
can be used to advantage in feeding
for certain stock. 1t is not particularly
good for cows, as it seemingly Injuries
the quality of the butter. 1t is excellent
food for swine, and to a moderate ex-
tent for poultry. While it has no par
ticular value as a legume, rye is valu-
able to turn under for green manuring.

me in charge, when l received the fol-
lowing letter from Johanna Carey:
Dear Martin-Your father and Julia
have been here this afternoon, and have
confided to me very sad and very pain
full secret, which they ask me to break
gently to you. You must come home
again for a season. Even Julia wishes
it, though she cannot stay in the same
house with you, and will go to her own
with her friend Kate Daltrey. Your
father cried like a child. He takes it
more to heart than l should have expect
ed. Yet there is no immediate danger;
she may live for some months yet. My
poor Martin, you will have mother only
a few months longer. Three weeks ago
she and went to Sark, at her own ur-
gent wish, to see your Olivia. did not
then know why. She had great longing
to see the unfortunate girl who had been
the cause of so much sorrow to us all,
but especially to her, for she has pined
sorely after you. We did not find her
in Tardif's house, but Suzanne directed
us to the little graveyard half mile
away. We followed her there, and rec
ognized her, of course, at the first glance.
She is charming creature, that l allow,
though 1 wish none Of US had ever seen
her. Your mother told her who she was,
and the sweetest flush and smile came
across her face! They sat down side by
side on one of the graves, and 1 strolled
away, so L do not know what they said
to one another. Olivia walked down
with US to the Havre Gosselin, and your
mother held her in her arms and kissed
her tenderly.. Even 1 could not help kiss
ing her.
"Now 1 understand why your mother
longed to see Olivia. She knew then
she has known for months that her days
are numbered. When she was in London
last November she saw the most skillful
physicians, and they all agreed that her
disease was incurable and fatal Why
did she conceal it from you? All, Mar
| tin, you must know a woman's heart, a
mothers heart, before you can compre-
hend that. Your father knew, but nc
one else.

ed this letter, that we may prepare hel
| for your return. Write by the next boat

That was my sentence Of banishment.
She had only addressed me once during
the conversation. 1t was curious to see
how there was no resentment in her
manner towards my father, who had sys-
tematically robbed her, whilst she treat
ed me with profound wrath and bitter
ness.
The report of my fathers illness had
spread before l reached home, and suf-
fciently accounted for our visit to Jer-
sey, and the temporary postponement of
my last trip to England before our mar
riage. My mother, Johanna and l kept
our own counsel, and answered the many
questions asked us as vaguely as the

and that if any difficulty or danger
threatened Olivia, l begged Of him to
communicate with my mother, who had
promised me to befriend her as far as 1t
lay in her power. My poor mother
thought of her without bitterness, though
in deep regret. To Olivia herself wrote
( a line or two, finding myself too weak
to resist the temptation. l said:
"My Dear Olivia-I told you I, was
about to be married to my cousin Julia
Dobree; that engagement is at an end

my fortune elsewhere. 1t will be long
time before l can see you again, if evei

friend, my mother is prepared to love yor
as If you were her own daughter. Think
of me also as your friend.

HANDLED WITH CARE.

iugerly Treatment of Small Boy Who
Had Swallowed Nitrog1ycerin.
A little boy who had drunk nitro
glycerin furnished an awkward prob
lem for the police of the Twentieth and
Federal streets station yesterday morn
ing. They are chary of dealing with
internal machines of any kind, and did
not know how to handle human
bomb.
Edwin Wright, the boy in question,
is 8 years old and lives at No. 1431
Point Breeze avenue. While playing
with other boys on the dump at Twen-
ty-sixth and Tasker streets he found a
bottle whose contents he mistook for
whisky. He raised it to his lips and
had drunk, as he says, several FINGERS"
Of the liquid before his companions,
who saw a label ''Poison" on the bot
tie, knocked it from his hands.
Edwin Immediately became sick. 1t
was found that the bottle had contain
ed nitroglycerin, and Policeman MI
charge grew nervous. He wanted to
summon the patrol to remove Edwin to
the hospital, but feared the conse-
quences of the concussion which might
be caused by walking a person who
had high explosive concealed In his
body. He solved the quandary by TAX
ing the youth in his arms and proceed
ing gingerly several blocks to where
he could call the patrol.
When the wagon came Grugan, who.
pale as ghost, was holding the boy at
safe distance from himself, yielded
up his supposed dangerous charge to
Patrol Sergeant McGee. The latter
was not SO fearful of an explosion, yet
he also employed circumspection in
handling the boy.
At st. Agnes hospital the physicians
quickly brought Edwin out of danger.
The small quantity of nitroglycerin
which the bottle contained had become
considerably weakened by lying on the
| dump, else the amount which the boy
swallowed, the physicians say, would
have killed him. A few hours after the
occurrence he had recovered with the
exception of some slight burns about
the Philadelphia Press.

own carefully formed opinion. He as
serted emphatically that it was possible

People are fast learning that good
ensilage can only be secured in first
class silo and that silo made of poor
material or from lumber that warps or
twists will always prove disappointing
to it's owner, says writer in National
Stockman. This is illustrated by the
method of canning fruit. If the can Is
sealed alright. the fruit can be pre-
served all through the winter. But If
the rubber packing is poor or the top
is not screwed on tight. admitting the
air, the contents "work'' and are spoil:
ed. The same thing holds true with a.
silo. Unless the walls are impervious
to both air and moisture one must not
expect to keep this ensilage sweet The
cheap structures made of old fence
boards should not be called silos. Yes
sells of this kind have also led many
men to reject silage and probably ac-
counts for the unjust and sweeping
condemnation of it by milk condensa-.
ries. There has never been a food up
on which all kinds of stock thrive so
well and which gives such large re-
turns as Indian corn. cut and preserv-:
ed in a silo in the form of ensilage. AS
Prof. Henry says. Cheap silos are
delusion and a snare. while good ones
enable Indian corn to yield its great
est benefactions to man."

Memories of Boyhood.

Recalling childhood's days does not
often have such an unfortunate effect
as in this story printed by Pennsyl-
vania paper:
While walking along the track of the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad near
Lebanon, a farmer began thinking
about his boyhood days, and what fun
it used to be to place his tongue against
a piece of cold metal
Following up the thought, he knelt
by the track and placed his tongue
on one of the rails. The sensation was
delightful, but he had not enjoyed it
long before he heard a train coming,
and then, to his dismay, found that his
tongue was frozen to the rail.
There was nothing to do but to pull
1t loose, and when he did that he
thought it was coming out by the roots.
A visit to the doctor reassured him on
that point, and he eventually got well.
1t will never be as good tongue as it
was, but 1t is believed that the mans
common sense has gained as much as
his tongue has lost.

mechanism Is so adjusted that when
once set in motion the apparatus prac-

riages forward at the beginning of each
trip to bring the plowshares in posi-

plows are attached to a two-wheeled
truck, which is pulled back and forth
across the field, moving forward at the
end of each set of furrows as long as
the mower is turned on.
