Best Kind Adapted to North Dakota
for Corn and for Fod-
der.
Prof Shepherd of the Agricultural
College Gives. Some Ad-
.... .." vice
The Future Fodder Plant of State.
kaffir Seed Corn the
Best

Prof. Shepherd of the agricultural
college in reply to inquiry from a
farmer at Darlington says the Mercer
flint corn, both for ears and fodder is
a good variety for their part of the
state. Minnesota King is a good
yielding corn, but might be a little
late in ripening. Prof. Shepherd adds:
"The old Indian saying as to the
| time of planting corn was "put it in
| the ground when the leaves of the
white oak tree are of the size of a
squirrels foot" That is splendid
time as the white oak tree is very deli
cate about pushing forward it's buds
and leaves in the spring time. 1t
waits until the ground warns up to
about so or IS degrees in the first inch
and half OF its depth. ....
"We have generally planted corn at
this station some time during the last
half Of May and we have planted it as
early as the last days of April and had
it do we'll.
"The risk of planting corn early is
not from the frost cutting the corn
down after it has appeared above the
ground, as that seems to do it COM
| paratiEely little harm. If the weather
is cold and the ground should happen
to wet the seed will usually rot. If
three-quarterS of the seed should
should gr0Wit would leave you with a
poor stand, and the matter of trans
planting is tedious and does not give
very satisfactory results, even if you
got to the trouble and expense of re-
plant the missing hills.
"All Of the best seed firms Of the
! country handle good seed corn.
81 have tried Kattir corn at this
station repeatedly for either five or
six years, and found that it always
failed to ripen with us with this heavy
soil. think it entirely possible that
it might ripen at Darlington where
the land is somewhat lighter than
here, and we have still more faith in
it for the counties lying south. l find
that corn natures in the southern
counties on the lighter soil which will
| not ripen here. That leads me to the
belief that the katfir corn might find
a long enough season in that district.
1t has decided advantage over In
dian corn where dry weather is apt to
| interfere. Like its near relative sor-
ghum it only stops growth when dry
weather comes and seems to pick up
its thread Of life where it left off,
| when it rains again; while, as you are
! aware, Indian corn must have nearly
continuous growing weather or make
nearly a failure. The Red Kaffir is
the earliest and best sort which 1 can
learn Of"

A Fine Range.

S. G. Smith in Bismarck Tribune:
l came in fregn the country today
after fifty mile ride on glistening
pond. That is what the prairie looks
like in the northeastern part of the
county. 1 never saw such fine range
Of stock as we have at the present
time. The SNOW came on the grass
last fall when it WAS green and we sup
posed it would be ruined. Far from
it. 1t is green now, and horses and
cattle are actually fat. They do not
touch the stacks of hay and hay is so
poor, doubt if they could eat enough
of it to keep alive. This open winter
is a great thing for the Stockmen.

that if they made a leap when the

WITHOUT TURNING A HAIR.
A Londoner Calmly Returned Money
Given to Him by Mistake.


A gentleman of my acquaintance had
a curious experience of manners and
customs of modern England few
nights ago at the theater He had
taken four stalls, but at the last mo-
ment found two of his party unable to
come. On his arrival at the theater he
left the two spare tickets at the box Of
fee, the clerk promising TO sell them il
he could and send the cash to him
when they were sold. He took his
place and soon afterward was gratified
to see his two surplus seats occupied.
The individuals who took them were
attired in evening dress and bore the
outward semblance of gentlemen. My
friend began TO look out for the money
which was to come from the box office.
Presently a concesslonnaire entered,
passed down the row of seats and adj
dressed one of the two newcomers. My
friend noticed that the commissionnaire
passed something to one of the gentle
men, who put it into his pocket with
out n word.
a sense of uneasiness stole over my
friend with regard to the 10 shillings
that was due 10 him. and as the even
ing was getting on he thought he
would go and make an inquiry at the
box office. His suspicious We're veri-
fed. The clerk had sent in the money
by a commissionnaire. The commission
naire was called from the door and on
seeing my friend at once realized that
he had given the money to the wrong
man. he promptly went back to the
theater. my friend following TO see the
fun. The commissionnaire went straight
to the party TO whom he had handed
the money and said, ERE, you've got
10 shillings that don't belong to you"
The other replied in an unconcerned
way, "Oh. yesr' took the money out of
his pocket and returned it to the COM
missionnaire. He showed no trace of
embarrassment" says my friend. He
handed back the money. as he had
