As was anticipated, the re- suits secuped by the bureau were bet ter than those obtained by the natives who had secured seeds for experiment tai purposes. Beans grew well in many places, while peas gave less satisfac- tory results. Experiments with pump kins, cucumbers and melons show a long record of disaster, all practically confined to the ravages of insects or fungous diseases, bat. 1t is thought that by planting in the dry seasUa and by irrigation better results may be se- cured.
 Eggplants, tomatoes and. peppers, all of unriUaled size and excellence, were generally reported, both by natives and by the government agrononic stations Okra, of tropical Asiatic origin, has given universally good results.

In the bureau's trial grounds at Ma- nila limited number of Japanese plums, loquats, persimmons, chestnuts and grapes have been tried, together with Japanese types of citrus fruits and few pomegranates. The grapes and persimmons have made a good start, and the progress of the citrus fruits and pomegranates has been of the best.
 Experiments with textile plants have been confined to cotton and jute. While the former has given good results it is a question whether the native grower has an adequate conception of the standard crop requirements of cotton growing countries. Jlte promises to give excellent returns, and 1t is the opinion of the bureau that the export trade of British India in this fiber, amounting to $15.o00,00o annually, could be largely diverted to the Philip pines.
 Several varieties of coffee have been imported from Java and distributed to planters interested in the attempt to rehabilitate the coffee industry, and the bureau has raised many thousands of young plants, which will be set out under it's own direction. Fine vari- eties of tobacco seed have been dis tributed in the famous Isabela and Ca gayan tobacco districts.
 With the experience gained from these first trials as to the best soil, the best time for planting and methods of cultivation, there is no doubt that veg etable, fruit forage and other crops will be materially increased and add to the agricultural wealth of the archi-

 Squire Burnett of Nanticoke, near Wilkesbarre, Pa., anxious to encourage marriages in his town, is offering trad ing stamps to the full amount of the marriage fee to all who are wed by him, says the St. Louis Republic.

NORTH DAKOTA HISTORY.
Records of Antiquity of the Town OF
Pembina on the Red
River.

On or about the year 1910 the Hud-
son Bay company granted large
tract of land lying on both sides of
the Red river, where the present town
of Pembina now stands, to Thomas
Douglas, better known to the world
as Lord Selkirk, celebrated noble
man of Scotland. Lord Selkirk was
an enterprising Scotchman, and, seeing
the poor condition of some of his fell
low-couhtrymen, WHO were ground
down by the nobility of their native
land, he brought over large colony
of these poor but honest people to
settle in the Red River valley. Under
the leadership of Miles Mcdonald, they
left Scotland in the spring of 1911, ar
irving in the autumn of 1912 at the
confluence of the Pembina and the
Red rivers, where they built fort.
They called this place Fort Daer, and
settled down to work and traffic with
the savages, who were as thick as bees
around Pembina al that time.
Pembina fourished in the heyday
of it youth among the savages of the
then lonely wilderness. All kinds Of

and the innocent Indian maidens be-
came the too easy prey of these aban-
doned men. Far away from the con-
fines of civilization and its influences
they gave themselves over to sensual
pleasure. All law and order was set
in allegiance, and these reckless voya-
geurs, always on the move from place
to place, left an ever-increasing prog
eny of half-breeds to mark the spot
where they once held high revelry.
When the Anglo-Saxons arrived on
the scene they could not get their
tongues around the French word. ane-

If anything has to be neglected

The best garbage can from a sani.
tary point of view is of galvanized

you live in the city, where the health
department minions play "One old
cat" with your pail, tossing it with
infinite abandon from sidewalk to
cart and back again, it is the only
kind that can "stand the racket" for
any length of time.
If you are a suburbanite, or a
,dweller on broad acres, any whole
receptacle. tin or even wood will do,
provided it is frequently scalded, dis
infected and dried out. One of the
five-gallon kerosene cans makes a
very good pail with a piece of baling
wire fastened in for handle. Keep
an old broom for cleaning out the
pail. Take it out on the grass, turn
the hose or teakettle on it and scrub.
Once week a disinfectant is in
order. A good one to keep on hand
is prepared in this way: Dissolve a
half pint of washing soda in six
quarts of boiling water. A cupful of
of this added to the cleaning water
will be quite sufficient.
Do not throw the contents of your
pail, if it be trimmings and parings
of vegetables, etc., on the garden to
decay. If there are no animals on
the place to eat them, either bury
and thus enrich the soil or burn.
If the latter, dry out first, so as
not to crack the stove. Orange and
lemon peeling, peach, apricot and
cherry pits make admirable kindling
when dried. Bones burned and
pounded are excellent for making
hens lay or for giving an impetus to
your rose bushes or grape vines. If

instructions without your personal
