Fargo Forum: The beginning Of
the present year marks a distinct
stride in the progress Of develop
.mento Of North Dakota. The founda-
ito ms of a new industrial empire
ha We been laid within the past five
years, in the western part Of the
state. A decided transformation
has marked all the avenues Of &C
tivi ty, redeeming the tenantless,
pra RE, from it's improbable slum-
bers and installing thereon a
gu atty Of civilization, which in
poi Mt of constructive energy, is
one of the marvels in the history
of empire building. The great
wave of immigration which has
invaded the state, has brought into
prominence several distinct fea-
itur es in the Redistribution Of the
old order Of things. The original
territory comprising the counties
sof Wells, Pierce, McHenry, Ward,
NC Lean, Benson, Towner, Bottin-
eau, Kidder, Burleigh, Oliver and
Morton, is now the seat Of tense
activity and marvellous industrial
growth. The patrimony Of the
cattle man has passed into the
hands of the farmer, and pros
porous communities bespangle
the prairie and bespeak with ar
guments more potent than words,
the abiding stability of native in
dustries. The corporations of
Harvey, Fessenden, Minot, Ken
mare, Bowbells, Towner, Rugby
aand Washburn, give evidence of
the great era of colonization that
is being realized. The immigra-
ton expected with the coming
spring will, it is thought, surpass
previous records in pointof magni,
tude.

VACCINATIONS VALUE.
What a Leading Hartford Physician
 Says About It.

W nat a Leading dafL1Ofd sPnySlclan
 Says About 1t.
 A well known physician, talking about vaccination yesterday, says the Hartford Courant, said: "As for vac cination itself, the official records show that of the 36O smallpox cases reported in the city of Chicago last year, only twenty of the victims had ever been Saccinated, and of that twenty nearly all had been vaccinated in childhood and not since.
 Tt is true that people have become careless about getting vaccinated be cause such general vaccination in tie past has kept the disease down. If it were not for our law concerning vac cination of school children, think we frequently should have to pass through the old-time horrors of an epidemic. Yes, we hear stories about people made sick by vaccination, but there is much exaggeration in them. Every doctor will tell you of vaccinated people who have summoned him in great alarm be- cause their leg or arm had turned black or something or other-scared by the stories they have heard. And when the doctor gets there he finds only Q we'll developed case of vaccina- ton"

GOVERNMENT YIELDS.
Belgian Premier Consents to Vote
 on Suffrage

Belgian Premier Consents to a Vote
 on Suffrage
 BRUSSELS, Aprii 1e-The strikers in the Liege district now number 40, 900, and the strike at Veryiers, four teen miles east of Liege, has extended to all the surrounding communes.
 The striking miners at La Louyiere, fourteen miles west of Charleroi, how ever, declare that they will resume work shortly. At Herstal, three and a half miles northeast of Liege, 2,0O0 men have returned to work.
 The debate on the proposed revision of the Belgian constitution was re- sumed in the chamber of representa- tives. NJ. Braun, Liberal, advocated a speedy closing of the debate in the interest of the whole country, and the premier, NJ. de Smet de Mayer, hearti- ly indorsed the suggestion. He said that the nation. was anxiously await ing their decision and proposed that the house continue sitting until the question was settled.
 The Socialists protested against the adoption of the proposal. but the pre-
 
 M. Van der Velde, the Socialist lead CT, criticised the government atti- tude. Instead of extending the olive branch, he asserted, the premier offer ed fresh provocation. The Socialists were absolutely opposed to the con- clusion of the discussion yesterday on the ground that important events might shortly occur
 The speaker pointed to the fact that there were 300,00O men on strike and that they enjoyed the respect of the middle classes. This statement was greeted with Socialist shouts of:
 '.The government thirsts for bloodv'
 The premier maintained the wisdom of the proposal for speedy close of l the debate.
 Socialist shouts of '"Trickery!' ''Treachery!" Ut will be the signal for q reyolutionr' followed the premier's remarks.
 The premier having reiterated his unalterable adhesion to the proposal to close the debate, the Socialists broke out into considerable uproar and clinched their fists threateningly, but they confined themselves to that and te l uttering shouts of defiance.
 A revision of the constitution, the premier further asserted, would plunge the country into turmoil, and the gov ernment utterly declined to be driver at the dictation of the populace anC under threats of strike agitation and l violence.
 Renewed Socialist uproar, including threats of civil war and shouts of 'Yol have murdered one of the people," fol lowed this announcement.
 After. a violent speech by M Jan son, Progressionist, who declared tn, government was forcing the. country over the brink of civil war, the pre- inier said the government was willin. for the sake of peace to withdraw tn, closure proposal.
 Nj. Van der Velde agreed to this. ane the chamber unanimously fixed th, hour for the vote on the question of revision of the constitution at oclocl this afternoon.

TWO TRA1NMES KILLED.
Freight Train Crashed into switcher
 at Ansonia.


 Ansonia, April 1s-A freight train on the Naugatuck division of the Consoli- dated road, due here from Waterbury at 9:15 o'clock, crashed into switcher last night that was standing on the main line track in the freight yard of the Farrel Foundry and Machine GO. Two men were killed, George Winner of Bridgeport and. Patrick Donovan of Bridgeport An Italian named Brascho, one of the crew of the switch engine, was arrested and is held without bonds pending an investigation by the police.
 The railroad officials were uncoln- municative but it was learned that the switcher was held by a block signal on the main track and the conductor of the engine said to the police that he sent Brascho back to flag the train that was soon due. It Is alleged that he failed to do this. and witnesses say that he stopped to look i'll the windows of the foundry to watch the men at work. Upon this information Brascho was arrested.
 The engineer of the freight train, sup posing he had clear track, proceeded at moderate rate of speed towards the Ansonia station. Almost before he had time to reverse his engine he crashed into the rear of the switch engine. George Wilmer, fireman on | the freight train. was standing be- 1 tween the>cab of his engine and tue tender when the crash came and he was pinned under the wreckage. be- came necessary to cut away n large portion of the debris before the unfor- tunate man could be released. Wilmer was conscious during the proceedings, but died in few moments after he was released.
 Patrick Donovan was a brakeman on the freight train. It is believed ne dumped from his train. He was found crushed under a car which had turned over on it's side. Donovan has a wife and child in Bridgeport. Tire freight train was composed of twenty-three cars, all heavily loaded, and this ac- counts for the inability of the engineer to bring the train to standstill The engine plowed through nearly the on tire length of a flat car attached to the switcher. Freight cars in the rear of the freight engine were piled up nearly twenty feet in the air and one of them was almost thrown through the build ing of the Farrel foundry.

HOW THEY DO IT IN HARTFORD
Smallpox Cases in the Capitol City
 Stir Up Officials


 Hartford, April 1S.-The smallpox situation in the city yesterday was un- changeG No new cases developed and the two little children at the pest house were reported as getting along fairly well. Both are very i'll. The twenty -four inmates of the house at Nos S9 and 91 Arch street, where the children were taken from are closely guarded and the inmates are not all lowed to leave. About 400 school chil- dren in the schools where children from this house attended were waccin- ated yesterday and from to-day on no child will be allowed to attend any of the schools in the city unless it can show q certificate of vaccination. No excuses will be accepted.
 The board of health has almost un- limited power ill the handling of con- tagious diseases and it will use this power to it's fullest extent i'll the pres ent situation. It can not only close down any and every school, public or private, but it can also close factories if necessary. While there is no belief that such drastic measures will be ne- cessary the board wants attention called to it's power so that those who have to submit to it's less onerous rules just now will be satisfied and not attempt to violate them. If they do try to get out of quarantine and thus endanger others, the board will use it's full power to prevent q spread of the disease.
 The feeding of the patients at the pesthouse, as well as the people in quarantine, will be looked after by the charity department This was ar rangd for yesterday by the board oi health. Food for the four families was taken to the house yesterday af. ternoon. First, Investigator Gun shanan went to the house and standing in the street took the orders from tho four women who took turns in callins to him from windows. These order: he had filled and delivered on tn, porches, from where they. were car ried into the house by the people them selves. It is the intention to keep tn, families well supplied with food ant ordinary comforts, so that the hardshil of their confinement may be lessened A sum of money has been left with tn, policemen guarding the house and the. are instructed to purchase milk, bread or anything else that may be needed in a hurry.

MANILA RAT TRAPS.


 Have you seen the big snake and the small boy? Well, they will be around to see you.
 It is q displeasing combination but one whose aims possess quadruple qualities-may be likened to game of cards-high, low, jack and the game. The mission of boy and snake is high the conservation of the public health. the calling low-the catching of rats, the bows name is Jack-and the game? Well, it is both rodents and bounty.
 The manner in which the boy, through the snakes exertions, comes in possession of rat and bounty is unique. The boy, with the reptile on his arm and gunnysack i'll hand, enters the court of a residence, and usually, after much palayer in corrupt language, secures permission to begin the cru sade. With vigilant and keen eye he inspects the premises. In this inspec- tion he displays training the most sys- tematic and acute the gamin can dis cover a rat hole quicker than q semi nude savage on the firing line, hot in escape from American occupation and American soldiery.
 But the finding by Jack of one hole while it pleases, dosen't satisfy his ambition-he wants to find two-one of entrance, the other of egress. When he has located to his satisfaction the two holes he uncoils the repulsive creature from his arm. and planting both feet upon it brings forth from hidden recess of trousers a small net, the meshes of which are very fine. While the serpent wriggles and darts forth from muzzle it's forked tongue, Jack by crafty dexterity, places the net work over the reptiles head and securely fastens it with sinew
 This done, the snake resumes it's arm hold and is conveyed to one of the holes. The boy squats and forces the ] head of the creature into the hole. The snake, by some unknown force-in- stinct or something else-is certainly appraised of what it's master wants, for its body slowly enters the hole and dis appears. The small. embrowned boy runs to the other hole, places the sack over it and awaits the result, with an anxious. what-will-the-harve be look on countenance.
 Sometimes the boys face glows with capitalistic triumph. for a number of rats scamper into the bag; sometimes neither rats nor snake appear and then the boy feels bad. Nothing remains | for him to do but wait He does SO and his patience is finally rewarded by the appearance of the snake. whose hunt had been without quarry. The boy is so small and the snake so big that he has grown lopsided in carrying it about-for it is always coil cd on the right arm.-ManiIa Volcano

The successful dairyman knows
pretty accurately just the ratio of milk
production of his herd for each month
OF the year. and he will furthermore
ascertain the relative amount of milk
ana cream given by each individual
COW. II is absolutely necessary that
the record should be kept. and then
intelligent methods can be adopted for
diminishing the falling of of milk in
fall and winter. Unquestionably the
food problem is at the bottom of this
falling off, but we have found out that
by artificial methods of feeding We can
to a large extent correct this. The
COW that has good winters supply of
ensilage. roots, hay and grain is not
apt TO fall of much in the quality or
quantity OF its milk. But the question
of feeding the winter cows with good
producing food is also one of ex-
pense. No dairyman could fail to pre-
pare a winter diet that would keep the
supply almost up TO the standard of
the summer j. he chose literally of all
the foods in the market. But the most
costly foods are generally those which
give the best results. Consequently we
are hampered in finding the best re-
suits for the least cost
The silo has in recent years simpli
fled winter 'airyinc. and no man can
well do wi;kcn. u who expects to make
his cows do we'll in winter. This is the
best substitute fo9 the summer food yet
devised. Ii supplies the necessary
amount % moist. suCcuient food which
the COWS demand To make good milk.
But the cnsilase rust he good. sweet
and n0UriSh!n" The failure TO obtain
good aGsilaee orc year is no good rea-
son 70 abandon it next.
With good ensilage. plenty of root
crops and fine may and some grain. the
dairyman can make his profits double
in winte: Roots are too little raised.
They may rot supply norrishment for
tat and muscle. but they are essential
tor a good milk supply. Ed with hay
and grain they almost take the place
of ensilage But with roots. hay, grain
ard ensilage We have Finest a COM
plete substitute for the best June grass.
Properly planned and raised these four
component parts of the winter feeding
need not be so expensive that the mar
gin Of profits is narrowed. Indeed.
they can be raised and fed in winter at
less actual cost than the ordinary feed
OF hay and grain. which SOM "eirymen
hold as their stock winter I'D. BY
having the ensilage and roots. the
grain food can be reduced more than
one-half without causing any falling

How to Manure the Soil.

The following is a summary of bull
letin from the Oklahoma station on
manuring soil:
Without going into detail as to the
various considerations that may affect
the results of manuring. at the present
stage of our agricultural practice, the
chief points 10 be observed are:
First-To manure the soil. Use all
the manure produced. prevent losses
by washing away. quit burning straw.
haul the manure onto the fields some
where, sometime, somehow.
Second-Manure the highest and
poorest spots. give good application
at one time-from Is TO 20 two-horse
loads-and manure another place next
time.
Third-Manure with reference to the
time of rainfall, to the next crop which
is to be grown. and TO the other work
which must be done. Late fall and
winter. when other work is not press
ing. is a good time. Light top-dress-
=. iSy be applied to wheat in the
Fourth.-Growing crops for green
manuring alone is not the most profit
able method. Pasture them and pillow
under the remainder when about ma
ture. This applies chiefly to cowpeas.
IL sorghum is TO be plowed under, it
should be while the stalks are green,
and juicy, SO that they will decay
quickly.
