AN ALFALFA TEST.
A Fine Crop Showing on the Dry
Sandy Soil Of Kidder County
under Trying Conditions.

In Kidder county, about eight
miles south of the Northern Pa
cific track in the vicinity of Daw-
son, is a small plot of alfalfa planted
three years ago, which is thriving
and promises a big yield this year.
The plants were seeded as an ex-
pertinent to show that supply of
sub-surface water in the nature of
an artesian basin, exists in that
part of the state. The land is of
very poor quality and heretofore
neglected for any agricultural pur-
poses as being unfit for the culti-
vation of crops. But in this par
ticular place, the alfalfa roots have
gone down to the moisture, have
withstood dry summer and two
winters, and the yield of hay will
be great this year. 1t is said that
numerous wells of living pure wa
ter have been found in this locality
not to exceed six feet in depth. It
is supposed that large water sup
ply comes to within few feet of
the surface. One farmer, it is stated
has always had a good crop of grain
on a farm in the locality, no matter
how dry the year, but generally the
land was held to be worthless for
any purpose but for grazing. As
there is a good deal more grazing
land than farmers can raise winter
feed for an equivalent Of stock, the
possibility Of raising alfalfa in
quantity is being discussed. Lee
Pettibone, one of the old settlers
of Dawson is of the opinion that a
large tract of land in that vicinity
has the never failing water supply
close to the surface, and that es-
pecially in the lower depressions Of
the valley can this water be reached
by alfalfa, whose roots go to such
a great depth. Further investiga.
tions will be made by the boring
of shallow wells, and if the theory
proves true there will be a big boom
in Kidder county that will discount
the "gold find"

A Farmers Trials.

There is an erroneous idea deeply
seated in some peoples minds, that
farmer has nothing to do but en-
Joy himself, that when the blizzard
sends in it's cards. he draws his
chair up to the stove and puts his
feet in the oven, providing the oven
is large enough, and spends the day
reading the Mirror or some other
good paper. And according to tra-
dition, this occupation is only dis
turbed when he goes to the table to
banquet on mince meat and other
fancy dishes. This is all dismal
error. A man entering contest for
a lumber yard on that line wouldn't
get knot hole, A close observer
will see the industrious farmer get
out Of bed four hours before day.
light, softening his boots with a
plow hammer, with a lantern in one
hand and bucket of slop in the
other. He has from one to a thous-
and hogs that act as though they
hadn't had square meal since the
"crime of 49,; they jab their frosty
noses up the off leg of his trousers,
and make him think of Greeley's
Arctic expedition; they tip the slop
bucket over on his vest and make
him look like a skating rink, but he
escapes with his life.
He then runs to the house, grabs
six or seven pals and crawls thru
wire fence to milk fifteen COWS
These amusing little quadrupeds
are perfectly gentle until he has
! the pail half full of milk when they
suddenly imagine it would be more
comfortable if they were on the
other side of the yard, they change
their location with considerable
rapidity, distributing the milk all
over his attire until he looks like
a Swiss Landscape in winter. When
he has the COWS all MIXED, he goes
to feed the horses and finds the
sorrel colt all bumped up with the
collie. He then has to mix up a lot
of aconite and water, which he at
tempts to force down the colts
throat, but the colt uncoils one o1
his front feet and spoils his face
When he has fed the hens, cut 8
cord of wood and hunted an hou1
for a twenty cent pig, he goes te
bed and gets up next morning fou1
hours before daylight and begins
the whole thing over again. -Tagu.

"Get your clothes off; be quick

The Irishman disrobed and per-

"Hop over this bar" ordered the
doctor.
The man did his best, landing on
his back.
"Now double up your knees and
touch the floor with your hands,"
He sprawled, face downward, on
the floor. He was indignant, but
kept silent.

A GOOD SERVANT AND FRIEND,

Savannah, Dec 2S.-Editor Morning
News: Permit me to add "a word to
your notice in this mornings issue of
the death and burial of Cornelia Cade.
Her life shows us that without regard
to our station, without regard to
race, color, or previous condition of
servitude," conscientious discharge of
the humblest duties must, and will,
bring with it the regard, the respect,
and the tender affection of those whom
we serve, and of those who know us.
Nicely" as we all called her, was my
nurse in my infancy and, after the
death of my parents, continued as the
beloved friend and servant of my own
immediate family, expanding her devo-
ton and her affections to include my
wife and my children; indeed, so great
was her faithfulness, and so generous
her nature, that l think her affection
extended to many of our friends, to
whom she was well known as an i'm
portant and valuable member of our
household.
Hers was a type that, alas. is
rapidly disappearing. 1 am sure that
we can love no other as we loved
her. She has left behind her as a
heritage for us all the memory of a
noble life well lived, of duty always
well done, and she is surely enjoying
the peace which passeth all UNDER
standing. None deserve II more. What
a lesson we can learn from such a life.
