4 recent report from Washington says
that the largest seed distribution ever
made by the government began on De-
oember Cd. Congressman will distrib-
ute $4,000, 1884 packages, against %, O0O,-
900 last year. Besides, the Department
of Agriculture will SEND out $50, 900
packages of vegetable and FLYER seeds
to it's crop correspondents, and 800, 900
packages will be distributed through
the State grange organizations; expert
ment stations, weather bureau observ-
ers, etc, will also be supplied. Last
year the seeds cost $40, 900 and weighed
$50 tons; this yea they cost $3.50, 900 and
will weigh twice as much, or over LOO
tons. Each Congressman gets fifty
trees to dispose of, of different varie-
ties, suited to the section he represents.

packages of seeds, altogether. In ru-

The Air Ship Sails.

The recent trial performance of an
air ship in Paris was very successful,
inasmuch as it sailed as well against
the wind as with it. This gives them
a new principle to work on, and some
day we may see an air ship invented
that will be practical for many uses.
This mode of travel will doubtless sup
plant many other means of transpor-
tation, the same as Hostetter's Stom-
ach lBitters has supplanted many in
ferior medicines in the cure of indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, constipation, liver
and kidney troubles or malaria. If you
are a sufferer from any of these dis

Brain Food and Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is need
ed for brain, another for muscles, and
still lanother for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular part
Of the body, but it viii sustain every
other part. Yet, however good your
food may be, it's nutriment is destroyed
by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
ven their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mill
lions. A few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action,
p~urifies the blood, and makes you feel

A Chicago harvester manufacturing
concern is sending more thar 500 car

ships are required to transport this
shipment to various ports along the
Black sea. With this equipment for
increasing the rapid harvesting of

materially from that source. The Am

the markets of the world with the pro-

last week DR.. Thams presided over the

city, state and county elections. Clubs
are to be organized in every corner
Of the state in the hope that all of the

close touch with each other. The fol

AFFAIR.

Otto Thoempke OF Fargo proposes
to do all he can to keep himself from
going to jail, pursuant to the sentence
imposed upon him by Judge Pollock
on Saturday, for a violation Of the
prohibition law. Immediately after
the delivery Of the sentence which
was ninety days in Jail and a fine Of
5000, and all the costs Of the action,
the defendant set his attorney, Mr..
Tilley, to work, to devise means to
keep him out of Jail. Judge Young
of the supreme court was in his cham
bers. A writ Of ~supersedeas was APP
piled for, and granted by Judge Young
who released Thoempke under bonds
of $1,000 pending an appeal to the SUI
preme court. The defendant claims
he did not sell the beer in question,
but that he only acted as treasurer, or
custodian of a quantity purchased on
a cooperative plan, by himself and
neighbors, and only for private CON
sumption. The decision OF the upper
court will be looked for with interest.

which by gradual decay, furnishes the

upon it's mineral constituents, seems to

able this plant food"
OF course in selecting a grass for
soiling purposes, its availability as a
forage for his stock should have due
consideration. 1t will be many years
before it will be necessary or even adj
visable to prepare the land and,sow to
grass purely for ~pasturage purposes,
hence, as heretofore indicated, a grass
that can be made available for live
stock forage, and at the same time of
close roofing habits, is the one best
suited to the needs of the farmer who
seeks to improve the condition of his
soil, and at the same time furnish feed
for his live stock. For this purpose
there are several varieties of grasses,
among those, the various families of
the clover plant, timothy and the re-
Gently discovered broom grass. These
are suited to various conditions Of soil
and climate, and all or none of them
may be suited to the conditions that
prevail here. The Tribune may at
some future time present this question
of the selection of grasses for the pur-
pose indicated.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
FARMING

Among the wholesome signs of the
times among the farming element all
over the county is the gradual dying
out of the old time prejudice against
what was a few years ago by a large
class contemptuously styled book
farming" 1t goes without saying
that the successful farmer has always
been the intelligent farmer. While
it may be absolutely essential that all
farmers should be educated in physics,
botany and the allied sciences, the man
who makes the closest study of the
experiments OF others in the nature
sciences, will meet with more certain
success than he who is careless Of the
results of those experiments. Our
agricultural experiment stations pro-
vide the opportunity for our farmers
to study the various questions that are
constantly arising in the carrying on
farm operations, in the series of "Bul-
Ietinsn that are issued from time to
time, in which the results Of station
experiments are given. These can be
had by all who apply to the station
director for them, and the farmer who
fails to avail himself OF the education
thus to be gained is not making the
best of his opportunities.
The station at Fargo has been maxi
ing an extensive analysis of soils from
all over the state to ascertain their
chemical constituents, as well as the
relative amount of humus and other
elements Of plant food; as well as con-
Quoting experiments in the %conserva-
ton Of those elements and the soil
moisture. This is done by a proper
rotation Of crops. In one of the "sBu1-
letins" recently issued in which is
given at length the results Of some ex-
periments along this line. Prof. Ladd,
chief chemist, says in part:
eff you would keep soils in the best
chemical and physical condition, there
must be practiced such a system of ro-
tation that there shall be included in
the rotation humus producing and
humus consuming crops.
1.-TWO humus producing, to three
humus consuming crops should, with
proper cultivation, maintain the soil
in its highest state of productivity.
The growing Of clover and peas in
a crop rotation causes a marked in
crease in the organic and humus in the
soil in both the first and second six
inches. These plants are also nitro
gen accumulators.
Land in crop rotation on which
corn was grown in 1899, and wheat
was grown$in 1900, showed more than
twice as much water in the first six
inches, on July IA, as was found in
soil continuously in wheat. In the
second six inches there was sixty-three
per cent more water. The yield OF
wheat was more than seven times as
great
Thus it will be seen that not only
does the cultivation Of corn and peas
clean the land OF weed but adds to the
supply Of humus, a very necessary ele-
ment OF plant good, and conserves the
soil moisture to a remarkable extent
Prof. L4add further states that atplow-
ing under a green crop does not pro
duce as beneficial results as come from
blowing grass lands: Flowing under
a green crop leaves the organic matter
In a mass, and not uniformly distrib.
uted throughout the soil.
soils filed with a mass of green
roots furnish, in all parts OF the soil
a uniform supply Of organic matter
