The possibility of poisoning from arsenic in
the soil has been studied by Messrs. A. and A.
F. Angel, British chemists. The arsenic i'm
purity of a superphosphate OF lime was in
creased to one-half of one per cent, about II
times the usual proportion, and this manure
was applied to various crops in two lots-part
at time of sowing and part when the plants
were well above ground. 1t was found that
some arsenic was drawn up mechanically into
the young leaves Of rhubarb and the grasses
and into the green pods of beans, but no trace
reached the fruit or seed of any plant.

SHEEP AND WEED DEsTROYERS.
The following is from a paper read
by Professor Shaw, of the Minnesota
agricultural college:
ut may sound like a contradiction
of terms to speak Of keeping sheep on
the grain farm. And yet it is not,
since no kind of live stock except
the horses, which are required to 90
its work, can be kept with so much ad.
vantage OF the grain farm, as sheep.
The benefits from keeping them on the
same are fourfold. First, they act

live stock as a part of your farming
industry"
SEASONS FAVORABLE FOR CORN.
Hon. G. S. Barnes, of Fargo, form
erly president of the old Northern Pa
cifc Elevator company, now a pros
porous farmer who has gained wealth
to the degree of aff1uence by a stead
fast adherence to those methods he
advocates in addressing the conven-
ton, spoke in part as follows:
"The first convention of this kind
held in this city l spoke on the time
that was near at hand when we should
turn our attention to diversified farm
ing; that in southern Minnesota,
Ormstead county, my former home
th~irty-eight years ago, at that time
no n thought 1T possible to raise
corn and even ten years later very lit
tie corn was raised; but after a period
of twenty-five years of wheat raising
the time came when we had a change
in climate with hot weather periods
in the summer that brought blight to
Il wheat, followed by the Hessian
fly and chintz bugs. The change of
climate was largely responsible for
this. The hot days and nights were
what we're wanted for corn, and then
begun a period of the change of diver
sifed farming. Farmers turned their at
tention more to stock raising and da!r'-
ing and as good corn could be raised
as in many southern and eastern
states. From that time farmers be-
gan to prosper, and today most of
them have a good bank account. and
instead of having their farms mort
gagged they are able to loan money in
the northwest or what is still better
invest in our lands; and many of them
have been able to sell these lands for
double and in many cases treble what
they paid for them, II many OF them
are farming their lands purchased in
the northwest with better profit than
they had at home in former years.
"The past few years have shown
whether my predictions have proven
true. What has been our climate
during the season of the growing
crop? We have had during July and
August for two years past, as warm
weather as Iowa, Illinois and parts of
Kansas? What has been the result in
the Red River valley? A shortage in the
wheat crop, but in place of it we have
a record which speaks for itself by
our exhibition at the Pan-American
exposition 81: Buffalo,; the taking of
the second premium on corn and also
first on potatoes and vegetables and
first premiums on fife and blue stem
wheats and stood 81 and 97k per cent
on a basis of 100 of taking the first
prize on butter, getting third place.
Our first conventions held before
were largely taken up in the discus.

sulting in exclusive wheat raising with
it's long periods of comparative idle
ness alternating with weeks of spas
modic labor when all the family work

as help. travelling transients or 'hobos'
four-ffths of whom are moral lepers."
LIVE STOCK MIXED WITH FARM.
ING.
Mr.. J. E. Phelap, who was at n
time a locomotive engineer on the Mis-
souri, division of the Northern Pacific,
and later secretary Of the North Da-
kota railroad commission, advocated
live stock mixed with farming, in part
as follows:
Il have not discovered a short cut
to wealth, and l am satisfied that we
cannot get rich quick in the cattle
business, but that industry and intelli-
gence applied with perseverance will
bring satisfactory returns I am sure.
"The most successful farmers have
demonstrated that rotation in crops
is essential to success in farming. That
corn and fodder crops can be raised in
abundance in North Dakota is being
demonstrated more and more year by
year.
when enough North Dakota farm
ers embark in cattle feeding to insure
shipments to the Chicago market-the
best in the world-or to st. Paul, which
is fast growing in importance-in

ours to the front taking into account
it's age-it stands at the head of all
others and with its present manage
ment we are making big strides each
year, and by the wisdom of our legis-
lature in passing laws to provide
funds in the future so that they can
broaden out in many things which
they have been prevented from doing
and which will be Of the greatest bene-'
fit to the farming community of this
state and u near neighbors in Min
nesota.
"One matter I want to speak of here
is the course taken by the president
of the college in sending forty of it's
young men students to the industrial
stock show in Chicago; the greatest
and best stock that was ever exhibited

sion of how to get rid of noxious'
weeds. The education we received
from experienced farmers and our pro-
fessors of the agricultural college
taught us a lesson that we have all
taken advantage of, and the results
have proven very beneficial, and here
let me say I have made inquiries about
other agricultural colleges and find

trainload lots-which usually means
not less than ten cars-from that time
you may look for an established indus

period covering nearly one-half of the
entire year.
Its repeated victories during a score
of years at county and state fairs as
well as national expositions furnish
ample evidence that for the production
Of all vegetables adapted to northern
localities the Missouri slope country
stands second to no other section of
the entire nation.
That this idea of diversified farming
may not be considered a pet hobby Of
the Tribune, advanced with a sole
object of inducing immigration to this
region the opinions of a number of
those who recently addressed the grain
growers convention are here given.
These papers covered a wide range OF
subjects, both of economy and poll
tics. but the sense of them all was
toward better methods and a diversi-
fcation of interests.
IMPROVED FARM METHODS.
One of these speakers was Mrs. E.
P. Curtiss of Moorhead, Mimi, whose
subject was Our Farm Life, How to
Decrease It's Evils and Increase Its
blessings" Among other things she
said:
a certain Boston orator once said:
If there be a man in Boston who does
not love Boston enough to try to de-
crease it's evils and increase it's bless
ings, that man ought to get out of there
forthwith 1t seems to me the same
might be said of the men and women
most Bostonians to comprehend how
any man can live in Boston and not
love the city, it's 'cultuh' and baked
beans included.
ITO me it seems equally strange that
anyone could live on a farm and not
love farm life, it's drawbacks included.
Possibly, however, my enthusiasm for
farm life may be partly due to the ac-
cident of my birth, my parents being
farmers and n of my grandparents
being able to trace an ancestry
through an unbroken line of farmers
to that time when to each man of the
Mayf1ower Pilgrims was allotted so
much land as he could we'll and faith
fully till Not a thousand acre farm
but only so much land as he could well
and faithfully till
What a shrinkage there would be
in the area of some of our wheat farms
if this rule were strictly enforced to-
day. When l say that l love the farm
and farm life it is not with that blind
un~reasoning love that the youth gives
his sweetheart, which renders him I'M
conscious of her most glazing defects
but rather the love of a sensible
mother for a wayward boy, which i'm
pels her to call attention to his faults
even by chastisement that she may
thereby develop his virtues. Even sc
would I call attention to some things
which tend to blight farm life and de.
stroy its happiness.
