The county conventions are
over so far as Griggs county is
concerned and the candidates
for Office are now before the
public limelight. Both parties
have nominated the best men
obtainable and each and every
one is q good man for the place
for which he has been nominated.
In as much as the men on both
tickets are all right SO far as
character and ability is concern
ed it simply SINNERS down to q
question of personal friendship
and politics. With this county
having q large republican
majority it would seem to Us that
the republican ticket should be
elected.

There is a movement on foot
around the state to induce Con-
gresham Spaulding to run for
congress as an independent
candidate. The COURIER deplores
the turning down of Mr.. Spald-
ing by the state convention as
much as anybody in this state,
but does not believe that he will
enter into deal to run independ-
ent. There would absolutely be
no show of his being elected but
it might result in splitting up the
vote so that one of of the demo.
cratic candidates might slide in
as consequence. Of course
democratic papers will con-
tinually show up how he was
abused by the republican leaders
and will try and keep alive the
seeds of dissatisfaction with a
view to splitting up the party to
work in democrat, but just the
same had the democrats O show
of carrying North Dakota they
would form the same kind of
combinations over which they
are so righteously deploring and
condemning. We do not ap-
prove of the methods used in
nominating a ticket by our re-
publican convention but just SO
long as we turn down primary
election we shall have to put up
with these methods from all
parties. Mr.. Spalding took his
chances along with the others
and the COM bination turned him
down. 1t is the fortune of war
as it were and he should abide by
the result or should not have
gone into the convention at all.
We believe that he will not run
as an independent as that would
be playing the baby act. Mr.
Spalding has the satisfaction
Of knowing that he was the popu-
lar choice Of the people-which
is considerable glory, anyhow,
but the politicians controlled the
convention and he fell by the
wayside.

The resolutions committee of
tina democratic convention held
here last Saturday afternoon,
did not exert itself any in pass
ing upon any Of the important
issues before the public, but just
satisfied itsself by jollying the
county officials and praising
their work. The matter of pro
hibition was totally ignored,
which is Just what could have
been expected of this party as it
is generally pledged to resub-
mission. Primary election was
also unnoticed and as the state
officers were opposed in politics
they also failed to condemn and
deplore them as is the usual Gus
tom and we take it for granted
that the republican state officials
have done nothing to condemn.
National affairs were let alone
because we know that Gold Tele-

When the Minnesota primary
election law was adopted it was
predicted that the people would
soon weary of it, and would de.
nand a return to the old con-
vention system. Instead of this
the people have demanded ex-
tensions of the primary law, and
amendments to make it more
effective. The last republican
state convention has furnished q
splendid argument for the fur
ther extension of the system so
as to include all candidates, state
as we'll as local. 1t is important
that the fact should not be over
looked that so far as the nomi-
nation of state candidates is con-
cerned Minnesota is still operat.
ing under the old convention
system. If the partisans of all
factions are to be believed the
late state conventions there was
about as disgracefu! an event as
could, be imagined. and it is
natural that there should be an
effort to prevent q repetition Of
the scenes there enacted. In
this connection the Crookston
Journal says:
primary election laws to ex.
tend to nominations of state
officers, is a question which is
being very thoroughly agitated
by the press and the sentiment
favoring such laws seems to be
strongly in excess of that against
the same.
"The cut and dried manner of
conducting state conventions
has caused in, the voter much in.
dignation and disgust, and the
recent state convention but
strengthened that feeling. It
seems probable that the vest
pocket sort of political mani
pulations would find it a more
difficult task to corrupt and con-
troll the great body of voters,
who acting according to their
own judgment, expressed their
preference for a candidate by
direct vote, than to control a
handful of delegates who are
frequently either" tied up" be-
fore the convention or available
AID ION the market" att.
'sThe time has come when the
preferences of the people are
secondary considerations, it
would seem. and primary election
laws extended to state officers
might obviate some Of the un-
satisfactory conditions which
now exist. Things certainly
could be no worse, and it seems
the only feasible plan by means
of which the voter can exercise
the right of suffrage in q man.

far as respect for his own views
on questions of candidate choice
is concerned. "-Grand Forks

WHAT FARMERs SHOULD KNOW
Many Thing to Learn by Hearing,
by Reading or by Personal
Experiment..

A farmer must hear or read much,
then experiment much to learn a lit
tie. Nearly all farm lands need bet
ter drainage. The better it is drained
the looser and finer it will stay, n
the richer it will get. If the land Is
nearly level, pillow 1t together in wide
lands or strips, the way it drains the
best. Pillow together at the same place
three times or more, so there will be
much slope between the center of the
strips and furrow. After that pillow
crossways in small strips-that drains
your lands-it also produces much bet
ter, and will lot cost you a cent more
If water stands on land that Is well
pulverized it gets hard when dry, but
if it is well drained it stays looser than
clody land and cracks less. The clods
attract the fine particles, causing 1t to
crack more. If land is worked when
1t is wet, also where water stands on
the land, and it then gets dry, 1t
cracks easily, then when it rains again,
instead of the soil washing in h
cracks the ground swells till the cracks
are closed up; and when dry weather
comes it is in nearly the same condi-
ton as before.
Wherever rain collects it forms a
scum on top of the soil, even where
it is sandy, causing less water to be
absorbed, and mor to run off. Many
fail t o raise good crops after deep
plowing, because below the surface it

Among the questions asked of cream
cry patrons by the Kansas experiment
station is, What dairy or farm paper
do you read?" Out Of II patrons who
answered this question. SO, or SO per
cent, took no farm or dairy paper.
In looking up the details of the rec
ords. it is interesting to note that the
highest yield was made by a man who
keeps special dairy cows and a lib
eral subscribed to farm and dairy pa
pers. This patron realized 80 per COW
per annum more than the next best
patron, who read no paper, and $36
per COW more than the poorest patron.
In collecting records we find where in
telligence is applied to the dairy in
dustry, the COW yields from $50 to $50
worth of products per annum Con-
trast this with $50 to $50 without in
t%elligence, and no one need ask If edu-

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
For New York Central & Hudson Rive
Railroad Company.

The most powerful electric locomotive
in the world has just been completed for
the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad in the shops Of the General Elec'
trio Company and the American kocomo-
tive Works at Schenectady, N. Y.
This locomotive is one Of between thirty
and fifty which will be used by the Rail
road Company for hauling the through
passenger trains within its Electrical, Zone
Park Avenue tunnel to Croton On the
Main Line, q distance of "a miles, and to
White Plains on the Harlem division, .
distance Of "a miles.
This will be the heaviest steam railway
passenger service which has ever been
handled by electric locomotives. With
one Of these locomotives trains OF ten or
more cars will be hauled at express speed
Of 90 to 20 miles per hour, and the de-
sign and method Of control are such that
two or more locomotives can be coupled
gineer from the leading cab, so that the
size of the train that may be under the
control of one engineer is practically un-
limited so far as the question OF motive
power.
In general design the locomotive is dou-
BILE ended and symmetrical in construc-
ton, SO that it can be run in either direc-
ton with equal facility.
Mounted on the main frame Of the To-
connective is the steel cab in three divisions.

Fall the Most suitable Time.

In the fall, up to the middle of De-
cember, in Tennessee, the earth Is
warm, therefore the warmth aids
termination of new roots of trans
planted trees. This is an unquestion-
able fact, therefore fruit trees will do
better is transplanted at this season.
In the spring, when most trees are
tra%nsplanted, the soil is cold and re-
mains in that condition until the heat
of the sun becomes unpleasant to per-
sons. The winters in the southern
states are generally so mild that 1t
can not hurt the fall-planted trees, be-
fore they become rooted. When trees
are set out in the fall that leaves that
much more time for attending to other
farm work in the spring. Frequently
trees In the spring are overtaken by
cold in the cars, the roots become
chilled and they never recover from
that chilling. Put out fruit trees in
November, but be certain not to let
the roots be exposed to frost or freez-
ing winds.-Key.
