Dovre Populists Arc All Alive.
DOVRE, Minn.. ADril 7.

DoVRE, Minn., April I, 1902.
EDITOR TR1BUNE:-The populists of
the town of Dovre are all alive and
show unmistakable signs of push and
vigor. On the evening of the 5th inst.
some of them met at the schoolhouse
in Dist. 62, and after a short consul
tation agreed to organize the popu-
list forces in the town The meeting
proceeded to organize by electing
August Soderholm as astemporary ch air
man and Ernest Schedin as temporary
secretary. The organization was
named "The Dovre Peoples Party
Club" 1t is the intention that the
club shall, as near as possible, hold
meetings in the above named school
house on the evening of the last Sat-
urday of each month. At such meet
ings there will be delivered short
speeches by members of the club, and
by outsiders who are in for clean pol
itics, if such speakers can be secured.
There will also be debates upon poll
tical questions. Voters of all party
affiliations are invited to attend and
take part in the debates.
1t is the sincere wish of the organi-
zation that all populists in the town
will join the organization, which can
be done at any regular meeting.
At the next meeting a speech will be
delivered by MIR. K. 7. Rykken on the
subject: "should Christian people
meddle with politics?" The debate at
the next meeting will be upon the ques-
ton: "What is the use of working
for a good cause, when defeat seems
almost inevitable ?''

an ABUNDANCE DIR WATER.

The most remarkable example of
capital watering in corporation hist
ory is undoubtedly the U. S. Steel
Company. This company as every
body knows was formed year ago by
the union of some ten corporations.
practically every one of which, was it.
self somewhat similar formation.
The Federal Steel Company for ex.
ample, was q union of the old ILL.,
nois Steel Company and the Mime
sofa Iron Company on q very liberal
basis OF capitalization. The Ameri-
can Steel & Wire Company underwent
what amounted according tn recent
disclosures to at least a double wat
ering In the course of its formation.
The other companies including even
the Carnegie Company all experienced
a similar process. In the final form
alton of the Steel Corporation, each
and every one was wa,ered once more
on q large scale. 1t is not easy to de
termine without long and trouble
some examination the exact amount
OF the watering that was done, but it
appears that whereas the ten COM
panies now mainly comprising the u.
S. Steel Company had about S22O, ,OOO,-
600 bonds, $3.50 600, 900 preferred stock.
and $3.50, 0O0,00 common stock the
Steel Company now has in one way
and another, close upon $3.50, 200, 600
bonds, and over $500, 200, 900 each of
preferred and common stock. Thus,
it looks as if the final watering
amounted to substantially $500, 600, OOO
of stock and 800, ,O0O, 900 of bonds
Wall Street Daily Journal, April 4.
This admission from a financial
journal shows how this gigantic trust
has created capital out of nothing.
And it is making the users of steel
pay for dividends on this watered
stock and interest on the bonds. It
paid last year $40, 900, 900 in dividends
on the common stock alone. But the
people must grin and bear it, because
Hanna says that there are no trusts,
and consequently the antitrust laws
cannot be enforced. To the casual
observer, however, the U. S. Steel
company exhibits all the earmarks OF
a trust, and most powerful and
dangerous one at that.

found the accounts in such q chaotic
condition that it was considered ne
cessary to discharge the steward and

great amount of supplies have been
taken from the store room without
vouchers. The St. Peter Free Press
olames DR.. Tomlinson for this, say
ing that he and two or three others
had keys and took out supplies when
ever wanted. Whoever was at fault
it is certain that it was high time for
the board to put a stop to such lax
practices and enforce q strict account
ing. The board of control has been
denounced loudly and frequently as q
bad thing, and in this instance ii
seems to have really been bad thing
for somebody; but the state at large
has no reason to regret the action
taken.

REMARKS ON RYE.

Good Things 1t Docs In n Section
Where Its Friends Are Many.
The writer considers rye next In i'm
portance to the root crop. 1t ls nothing
uncommon for rye here to yield 40
bushels to the acre, and If the ground Is
properly prepared ana good seed well
put in there Is no failure. Rye Will
live through winters that Will kill ev
cry wheat and clover plant.
Rye has so many friends In Shcboy-
gan county, Wis, that great pains have
been taken to get the best varieties.
| Grains Of my rye nre much larger. than
wheat. a bushel and half is none
| too much for an acre, especially II land
| Is full of weed seeds. This rye wal;
grown on reclaimed swamp land and
will yield about 40 bushels to the acre.
The ground was lightly manured with
| coarse horse manure.
Rye can be sown In August or any
time before the ground freezes. I have
seen good crops Of rye where the grain
| was sown SO late that the plants could
hardly be seen above ground until the
next spring. I sowcd grass seed on rye
| two weeks before We could get on the
land with team. If rye Is not sowed
by Sept. 90 walt until the ground is
about to freeze up.
| One who has land infested with Cam
ada thlstles will find great satisfaction
In sowing rye thick and early. Some
SOW rye here In July and pasture 1t so
1t cannot joint, then harvest crop the
next year. Our millers are making very
fine white -four from our new varieties
Of rye.
Some Of the fattest horses In this
country last spring were wintered on
rye straw and water, with few car
rots. The unthrnshed rye was run
through n cutting machine and the cur
rots through n slicer and the whole
put together and wet and mixed IL
hours before being fed.
Sow rye once, and you will SOW II
again. Many Of the small farmers,
and some large ones, thrash the rye
with fails, bind the straw Into bun.

, the grain will bring. Rye that has
been kept dry will grow when two
years old.--Cor. Prairie Farmer.

HAY AND PASTURE.

| A bulletin Of the Arkansas station
gives soEso Information about hay and
pasture plants for that state:
The most desirable and satisfactory
hay planttSor summer growing. consid-
errd from the standpoint Of food pro-
duccd and fertilizer added to the soil,
is the cowpca, the Whippoorwill and
Wonderful varieties being preferred.
AS crop for winter growing for
hay, soil protection and soil improve
mcnt hairy vctch Nicin villosa) has
proved most satisfactory, followed In
order by crimson clover and red clo-
Yer. Corn and sorghum are consid-
cred the best forage crops for the
state.
Sorghum Is preferred for summer
feeding for hogs and dairy COWS. Cut
ting may be begun as soon as the
stalks begin to head out.
Hogs like sorghum best when tho
stalk Is sweet and the grain in the
milk stage. In order to preserve the
sorghum in this state 1t Is recommend
cd to pile the stalks IN large piles and
cover with straw. Early Amber Is the
variety usually grown.
The results Of seven years tests Mt
the station indicate that the grasses
best adapted to the soils and climate
of the state are orchard grass, Bermu
da grass and hairy vctch for permanent
meadows and Bermuda grass and hairy
yctch for permanent pastures.
The prejudice against Bermuda grass
held by many farmers because Of Its
wccdlllc tendencies Is considered un
founded. since by proper methods OF
rotation and cultivation the grass If
easily controlled.
Alfalfa is considered q valuable plan
for permanent meadows and pastures
where both surface and subsoil ar
we'll drained. Considerable care is re
Quircd In getting 1t started, but afte
