The completion of the great Nile dam
Mt Assouan is merely another step in
the most successful administrative gov
ernmental undertaking in which Eng
land has ever been engaged. English
government of Egypt, especially under
Lord Cromer, has been a remarkable
example of efficient and able rule. So
great has been the change in the finan-
clal condition of the country, in the
state of industry, in the crop produc-
! ton, III the administration of justice
and in the general well-being of the
people and the prosperity of the coun-
try under British rule that the results
are seen, 1t is said, in a change in the
character Of the people for the better.
The Assouan dam cost about $12.5OO,-
600; and as 100000 acres are to be
brought under cultivation the benefit
expected from the irrigation will
amount to $13,000,00O in additional ag-
ricultural earning power-or over 100
per cent every year! The most search
ing criticism has been made Of British
rule in India; but in Egypt it seems
clear that Great Britain has lifted the
native UP and placed him on his feet.
III view of this triumph, it will always
remain wonder how it is that Eng
land can carry through SO difficult an
undertaking as the rehabilitation of a
wornout country in Africa, and yet fail
lamentably in the government Of Ire.

Revelations of the Seed Tester.

In test Of five hundred varieties of
lettuce by the United States Depart
nlent of Agriculture, it was found that
l32 of them were Black-Seeded Tennis
Ball under other names. A sample of
crimson clover seed, costing 1915 per
bushel, contained SO little live seed
that S104 worth would contain only
a bushel of good seed. Some Kentucky
Bluegrass was so poor that a pound of
live seed would have cost S2.1S, and a
sample of timothy tested at the rate
Of SAT per bushel for the live seed.
Some Of the seeds sprouted well
enough, but the plants We're OF the
wrong kind. Thus sample of alleged
clover seed contained $4,000 weed
seeds in a pound, or at the rate Of
twenty million per bushel. Such re-
suits explain the cause Of some mys-
FERROUS crop failures and equally
strange invasions Of new weeds.

Wool is affected by breed. climate

Ten Acres of Trees.

r. C. Blume, who has the hand
soonest farm north of town, told
the Independent man how he
planted that fine grove ofcotton-
wood trees near his house. He
bought a thousand trees from
the Williams nursery at Bismarck
for one dollar and paid twenty
five cents freight for them. He
took a pick and going to ground
which had been broken the year
before, made small holes. In this
manner he was able to plant the
trees with very little labor and
in such a manner that but six Of
them died. The trees are grow
ing finely this season and will
soon serve for shade and a wind
break. He has had such good
success, that next year he will
plant ten acres of the trees, put
ting them eight feet apart. He
thinks that many farmers are
making a mistake because they
do not take a day or two each
year to put in trees. His neigh
Dor, Mrs. H. G. Detlafflast spring
planted with a pick a thousand
trees in one day. The trees should
always be planted in the spring.

Women Chase Men With Axes
and Pitchf0rks.

While John Gable, John San

farmers from the Fort Buford
reservation, were here last week,
fighting q contest case in which
they are contesting 'desert
claims taken up by Clifford and
Mcdonald for the Prouty Com
mission Co., Andrew Nohle's hay
ing crew was sent to their claims
to cut the hay. A deed of this
kind had been looked for and the
husbands gave their wives orders
to let no one touch any of the
products of their land. The hay
ing crew had no sooner got to
work than the women armed with
axes and pitchforks rushed at
the men, who were glad enough
to escape with their lives. They
were last seen going towards the
hills to make hay.

WHAT ONE WOMAN CAN DO
With q Hoe and Rake How Miss Matte
Allen Of Buford Reservation Cultivated
Four and a Half Acres of Garden With
Great Success.

The product OF one OF the ''des-
ert claims of the famous Fort
Buford reservation, may be seen
in the window of the Independent
Office. The vegetables were raised
on the claim contested by Miss
Matte Allen, one of the pluckiest
young women of North Dakota.
Miss Allen put in and cultivated
what little it was necessary to
cultivate it, four and one half
acres OF vegetables, the finest we
have seen. Last May she hired
the ground plowed and narrowed.
She did the rest. Armed with a
rake and a hoe and packages of
seed, she would toll in her garden
every day putting it in, little
thinking she would meet with the
great success which she did. The
onion seed was simply sown after
the ground was plowed, and
narrowed once afterwards. The
potatoes were planted on the sod
and covered with the plow. Miss
Allen dug twenty large potatoes
from one hill.
She planted the Early Ohio
seed and did not touch the patch
from the time she put in the seed,
until she went to dig the potatoes.
Cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots,
corn, all grew unattended. She
secured a 25 pound pumpkin
from her patch which was not
done growing. Corn fully ma
tured will average well. The ears
are sound and large. She has an
acre and a quarter OF the corn.
Large beets, the seed OF which
was raked into a plowed ground,
rewarded her for her trouble. A
head of cabbage as solid as a
brick was the result Of sowing a
little seed. Miss Allen will sell
her vegetables this fall and will
add considerable to her bank ac-
count. More girls might follow
her example. She is independent
and contented.

Ward County Crops.

Threshing is well under way
and the various reports show
that in many localities flax is
turning out rather lightly-from
five to twelve bushels to the acre.
Considering the low price OF flax,
about 80 cents a bushel, it will
not be a very paying crop this
year: and the farmers are likely to
plant more oats, speltz, wheat,
barley etc., next season. Oats
are turning out far worse than
the farmers expected. Wheat is
a very good crop. Taken as a
whole, the farmers will fare quite
well, and will have more than
enoug h to live on.

Gentlemen:
We would like to have you add
two words to our advertisement

The add meets with our APP

this opportunity of compliment
ing you on your paper and also
it's ever increasing circulation.
Yours truly.

world, while concerning peat as a
substitute for it, it is inexhaustible
AS to water powers, the millions of
horse power now going to waste in
most cases, or but partially employed
are practically incompatible. 1t is
true that these powers are found in al
parts OF the world, and frequently far
from markets or facilities for trans
portation, but it is noteworthy that in
this country water powers are being
u6ilized to much greater extent than
people generally have any idea of.
Niagara and the falls at Sau1t Ste.
Marie are examples near by, while in
California 1872, 900 horse power have
already been placed, with more to
