SIIAGH.


There have been many changes Of
opinion touching the proper time to-
cut up field corn with which to I'LL the,
silo When the silo first appeared as a
winter forage factor it was supposed
that the corn must be very juicy and
green, and so varieties Of corn giving
a great growth Of stalks were used
This used to fill the silo in very i'm.
mature stage. This made a silage Of.
a mushy character, which gave rise to
nearly all the objections which have
ever been urged against ensilage as a.
ration. Later it was found out that:
there was nothing better out Of which,
to make ensilage than just common
field corn, and that this should be al
lowed to remain in tie field until al
most ripe before being used, even to,
the point Of having the leaves and;
husks overripe, this sort Of enstlage
being dry and carrying larger per
cent Of nutritive value than when made
Of immature corn.

New Towns i'm North Dakota.

The extensive railroad building
now being done in North Dakota
has brought tributary to railroad
facilities an additional vast area of
the rich agricultural sections of
northern and western North
Dakota. The Great Northern
Railway is building a number of
new extensions from it's main line
northward notably that of the Sarles
extension of the Edmore line. The
Thorne extension running north
from York, the Max Bass extension
running northwestward from
Towner, and a further extension of
the Westhope line to Antler.
The building Of these new lines
has brought into being number Of
new towns which are fully described
in pamphlet recently issued by
the Great Northern Railway. BY
application to Mr.. F. I Whitney,
Passenger Traffic Manager, St.
Paul, Mimi, copy nf these
pamphlets ''New Extensions in
North Dakota" or New Towns in

Number Of Other Farms
Sold the Past Week.

L. Lamberson has been busy dur
ing the past week or two in show
ing prospective investors from Illi-
nois, Indiana and other states, some
of the choice valley lands in this
vicinity. That most Of the visitors
who come here are delighted with
the country, to use a Rooseveltian
expression, goes without saying,
and nearly all make sure of secur-
ing for themselves at least one fine
piece or parcel of land before leav-
ing. Last week Mr.. Lamberson' S
land sales amounted to over $50, 900.
The John p. Ostrom farm, east of
town, one of the best improved
farms in the county, was sold last
week by Mr.. Lamberson to a party
from Illinois, who will move up in
the fall and take possession. This
farm comprises section of very
choice land and all except one
quarter, was included in the sale.
Mr.. Lamberson has also sold re-
Gently the following parcels of land:
Half a section of the Porter farm in
Sec. 9, town of Farley; the J. T.
Hunter farm of half a section in
Boxville, Mr.. Munger being the
purchaser; the old E. E. Graham
farm of J section in McCrea; Tom
Tompson's place OF half section in
southern Comstock; the Chas. Ell
lerth quarter in McCrea; the old
Henry Reese place of J section; half
of Sec. "a in Alma; half section in
Marsh Grove; half a section in "a in
Farley, a quarter in Viking, and
several others. The purchasers
are all good, practical farmers who
will come here to make their homes
and develop the country.

PIONEER DAYS.

Whatever the future may bring, it
will never bring back the Old pioneer
days-the days Of the prairie nIes, the
logging bees, the sugar making, the
going to mill and market, when q man
bade his family an ahtect3onate fare
well, calculating to sleep under a wag-
ON for week; when the meat sup
ply was obtained by the gun and the
fish spear; when prairie chicken, NAL
lard and canvasback duck, wild goose
and brant were everyday fare and
barrel Of fish the reward Of a nights
fishing; when folk went visiting, took
their bedding with them and stayed
for two days; when all were poor
alike and all farm tools, books, even
food, common property; when a box
Of clothing from some eastern friends
was godsend and the trade Of the
pioneer community was mostly barter,
with furs as cash producing COM
modify; where the houses we're Of logs
or Of sod and all were honest and
healthy. With all the attendant hard

lea. The man who contents himself
with rented lands in the older
states, thus making bare liveli-
hood from year to year, is to some
extent throwing his energies away.
He is not able to lay by any surplus
and when he reaches old age he is
no better off than he was score or
more years ago. ''Any man who
has ordinary health should be able
to undertake such a proposition
without the slightest fear of failure.
In few years he would have a
good farm and a secured home,
which would insure him living for
the remainder of his life.'
In regard to live stock raising in
northern Minnesota Prof. Shaw
says:
Live stock will feed better in
the cold steady winter climate OF
Minnesota than in any of the milder
and more changeable to the south
ward. The steady character of the
weather keeps the appetite good,
hence animals never get off feed.
In the warmer latitudes it may rain
one day and freeze the next; there
may be a week of mild weather, fol-
lowed by six or seven days of bitter
cold. During the mild period the
animal get off their feed and there.
fore lose time seriously in fattening
before their appetite comes back tc
anywhere the normal condition.
This line of reasoning applies to the
feeding Of all kinds Of live stock bu,
in a less degree to dairy cattle and
swine." ~

THE LITTLE GIRLS GARDEN.

AAAA1 A1AA I AAAA OAAAA "fA1SAGNs
She was little girl only twelve
years old and small for her age at
that. but she was full Of enterprise and
snap. and, firing of dolls and the like,
she persuaded her father to let her
have just two square rods Of his gar
den to run garden of her own. We
had the pleasure of seeing this garden
In early July. There was not single
weed to be found in it, and there was
fine assortment of vegetables Of the
most thrifty sort, peas, beans, pota-
toes. tomatoes. cucumbers, radish,
lettuce. cabbage. all nicely cared for,
and our little friend was Just as proud
Of her success as would be the owner
of fine half section farm. And this
work for the little maid was in every
way beneficial and helpful to her. She
has become greatly interested in ma
ture study and intends to enlarge her
work next year to include flowers and
poultry. She might have practiced ON
q piano or done some sort Of fancy
needlework when she was working in
her garden, but we doubt If she would
have done as well.

A Memorable Summer.

The summer of 1905 will always
be remembered in the history OF
Warren as one of unusual activity
in railroad affairs. 500 and Great
Northern construction trains are
continually passing, and the putting
of locomotives and the rumbling
of cars may be heard any hour CT
the night or day. Some Of our cit
liens even complain that their sleep
is disturbed. Well, we'll, Warren
can be sleepy town no longer.
We must be up and doing to keep
up with the procession.

A Good Idea.

Linemen were engaged in putting
up telegraph poles on land belong

The men produced paper by
which they said they were allowed
to put the poles where they pleased.
The farmer went back and turned a
large bull into the field. The say:
age beast made after the men, and
the old farmer, seeing them run

minutes, we succeeded in yoking the two
together. The halters were on their
heads, and rope was attached to each
halter. AS soon as the yoke was fairly
adjusted. we let go their heads, and
away they went to the ends of the ropes.
One of them turned somesault the
bows of the yoke broke off close to the
beam, and the calves were apart. How
ever. we soon got another yoke, and next
time nothing happened to prevent the
calves from showing us exactly what they
were made of.

The Crops.

Harvesting of barley is now in
progress and the cutting of wheat
will begin next week. The weather
is splendid for maturing the grain
which is now too far ahead to be
damaged by rust. From all appear
ances a very good crop will be har-
vested, and down along Red River
the stand is reported especially
heavy,in fact a bumper crop. How
ever, the threshers will soon tell the
tale without any guess work.

FEEDING CROPS OFF.

Aside from feeding of the grass in
the pasture and the stalks in the field
no attempt is made in this country to
feed crops OF on the land where they
were produced. More might be done
In this line to great advantage. The
clover, the turnip crop, the vetch crop,
the rape crop, are all fed tn the field
In England by the hurdle system,
which Is the inclosing Of a part Of the
field with husdles or light movable
fence, sheep proof, to the manifest
saving In the harvesting OF the crop
and the greet benefit aocruing from
the thorough fertilization Of the soil.
Two years ago man In South Da-
kota with eighty acres Of corn turned
In 1,200 sheep along in September and
let them harvest the crop, which was
done with very great success and
economy. He got good price for his
corn, got rid of the weeds and so
cleaned up and fertilized the land that
1t was in the best possible condition
for another crop. There was scarcely
any waste in the doing Of It either, the
fall being dry. Had It been wet, it
would have been different.

SHOOTING AFFRAY
AT ANGUS
Frank Taus Shoots F. McLennan
on the Village
~.
Street.

Frank Taus shot and seriously.
perhaps fatally, wounded F. McLen-
nan, in front of the store at Angus.
shortly after six o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The bullet, which is said
to have been 80 caliber one, en-
tered the body an inch or two above
the heart and passed through the
left lung. George Glover and a
brakeman, who saw the shooting,
started to capture the would-be
murderer, who Immediately after
firing the shot threw the weapon
away and made for his home. He
was finally overtaken and overpow-
cred, after desperate struggle in
which the butt end of whip played
a prominent part. Other bystand-
ers fastened to the assistance of
Mr.. McLennan. Medical assistance
was summoned from this city, and
when the flyer passed through it
was stopped and the wounded man
taken to the Crookston hospital,
where the nature of the wound wilt
be more fully investigated. Mr..
Taus was also brought to Crookston
to be turned over to the authorities.
Both men are we'll known and
well-to-do farmers in the vicinity of
Angus, Mr.. McLennan being one of
the early settlers. They own lands
adjoining and have had some
trouble lately about hay and road
work. Day before yesterday it is
said Mr.. Taus, carrying pitchfork,
went to Mr.. McLennan, where he
was stacking hay in the field, and
started quarrelling. Mr.. McLen-
nan stepped down and also secur-
ing pitchfork threw it after Mr..
Taus, who ran away saying he
would meet him some time when he
had no fork. Yesterday both men
were IN thls city transactlng buSi-
ness. Mr.. 1aus bought binder
from Lundgren, Wittensten & Co.,
and Mr.. McLennan also bought
some machine repairs. Mr.. Taus is
also said to have bought revolver
here, but the SHEAF has made in
| OuirV at all the establishments 6aal
in fire arms in this city, but no sale
had been made by any of them. Re-
turning home the men evidently
met at Angus where the quarrel
was renewed. Mr.. Taus pulled up
his revolver and fired as he ex-
claimed, Nov you have no pitch
fork. The unfortunate affair Gre,
ated great deal of excitement in
the little village. ..... ..

tanning BUFFALO OES
ATTEMPT TO PUT CALVES UN.
DER A YOKE.
Ono with Halter Trots Sedately,
Going from Home, But Returning
Is Not Easily Managed-Yok-
ing Two Together.

As soon as the buffalo calves which
I had received from Corbin park were
Reasonably tame, and showed that they
were likely to live and thrive on cows
milk, two strong little leather halters
were ordered, and the work of breaking
the young bulls was begun. My farmer
neighbors smiled broadly when told
them what l was going to do, and proph-
esied that there would be fun enough to
go around, long before those buffalo
calves were broke"
The first thing to be done was to
adjust the halters, with view to halter
breaking the sturdy little beasts. Now,
buffalo calves are afraid of everything
they don't understand, SO naturally they
areSafraid Of q great many things, hal
ters included, and they were not dis
posed to allow me to approach while I
had one Of these dangerous looking ar
ticles In my hand. However, when the
animals were hungry, and taking their
milk they would allow one to take many
more liberties with them than they
would at other times: 80. after letting
one Of them taste his milk, pushed the
bottle through the nose strap Of halter
aud held it out to him again. He was
suspicious at first. but hunger got the
better Of him and he took the nipple IN
his mouth. AS he sucked away, l gradu-
ally drew the bottle back through the
nose strap. and as gradually his muzzle
followed It until, at last, my editor
friend who was with me had nothing to
do but buckle the other strap about the
neck, and the deed was done. AS soon
as the calf had finished the milk, he no
ticed strange feeling about his head,
and he galloped away like mad, to try
to get rid Of 1t. But it stayed with him,
so he jumped in the air and shook his
head violently, but very soon he be-
came used to the new sensation and
went to grazing as usual. The other
bull acted much in the same way, and l
left the halters on them both, that they
might become thoroughly used to them.
As the calves grew heavier every day,
ttbecame more and more difficult to pull
them a1ong when they braced their
hoofs In the ground. got over the diff
Guilty to large extent by having another
man walk behind me on the road, where
upon the calf which was being led trot-
ted by my side with seldom q show of
resistance. But as soon as we turned,
he seemed to know that he was going
back to his companions, and it required
plenty of muscle to prevent q runaway.
Once. when about mile from home
with one Of the calves, the halter slipped
OF HE nose, and he was held only by the
strap around hts neck. 1t took about q
second for him to find out that some
thing was wrong and he set of down
the road, using every ounce OF strength
he possessed, and believing with all his
might. I was obliged to let him have
some Of his own way, for knew that,
if he ceased pulling straight ahead, the
neck strap would come over his head

Half Ssles by Machinery.

New soles seWed on in fifteen
minutes is the latest thing in
shoe economy and repairing.
No more is the candidate for
half soles compelled to sit and
wait for an hour and a half and
pay out half as much as a new
pair OF shoes would cost. He
can step in to Thornbury's
shoe shop, surrender his shops,
glance half way through the
daily paper, get his footwear
back soled, polished and bur-
nished, pay his bill and be out
again all in a quarter of an
hour, and the cost-well, it's
about half what the old
fashioned price has always
been. This very acceptable in
novation has been made posi-
BILE by a new champion sole
stitching machine, built espe-
cially for repair work and sew
ing on of half soles, and it is
bound to find favor with every
wearer of boots and shoes who
can't afford to throw away his
old standbys while there is
plenty of good wear in them.
It is worth the price charged
for the new soles to see the ma
chine operate and the exhibit
ton goes with every pair of
soles. It is Mr.. Thornbury's
idea that there is nothing too
good for Missouri Valley.
