Grading Seed Grain.

J. H. Shepperd, agriculturist
of the North Dakota Agricultural
College and Experiment Station:
I do not advocate sowing badly
shrunken, weak seed grain, and
very few Of you will have to do
that-even if you use seed from
your own neighborhood-if you
will grade it up with a tanning
mill. It will pay you to screen
out the poorest half of the wheat
you use for seed, even when you
use wheat grown in a good sea-
son. If you do not think it will
amount to anything try it with a
fine sample of wheat and measure
a thimble full Of grain from each
side of your tanning mill and see
which pile has the most berries
in it. You will find that you have
increased the size of your seed
and that it will pay you well for
The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1905-04-06

your trouble. This year when
your wheat is shrunken by rea-
son of the rust attack until some
of it is too thin and shrunken to
be fit for seed, screen out the
poor berries until you have only
the plumpest third or fifth of it
and use that for seed. In that
way you will get seed which will
have good growing strength and
it will keep you in stock of a kind
which you knowis a good yielder
and which has given you a good
grading crop in the past. Breed
wheat as you do live stock.
The principle which you are
using is the same as you have
been accustomed to all your life
in breeding live stock. 1t is the
same process as saving your best
heifers and cows, and of securing
the best bull that you can find.
If you have a poor strain of wheat
get good one and then grade
your seed each year by screen
ing out the smaller kernels and
you will improve it. Have piece
of ground that is in good condi.
tion in every way and particular
ly one that is free from weeds,
and SOW the very best of your
wheat upon it to grow seed grain
from the next year. That is the
way to keep up good strain OF
seed. Seed grain will not "rur
out" in North Dakota If you han
die it in that way.

Our State Fair.
Grand Forks viii Get To The Frent
This Year With q Great Big
Fair.
II viii Be Held The First Week
In September And Will Be a
cracksrjaek.

1t has been informally decided
by the directors of the fair asso-
citation at Grand Forks to hold
the first state fair under the new
law during the first week in Sep
tember. The new law provides
an appropriation of $4,000 to be
equally divided between Fargo
and Grand Forks, for the erec-
ton of buildings, and also an an
nual appropriation of $4,000 to
each city alternately. Under the
law, the North Dakota State Fair
Association for Grand Forks
must be created and organized
dulfng the year 1905, under the
general laws of the state in rela-
ton to corporations, with a paid
up capital stock of not less than
$4,000. 1t must also acquire
title to not less than seventy nor
more than one hundred and sixty
acres of land at or near Grand
Forks, and convey the title to the
| State of North Dakota, to be held
forever, for the purpose OF exhi-
biting under the management OF
the association during each odd
numbered year, the agricultural
and other products and resources
of the state. The bill also pro-
vides that similar fail. assOcia-
tion for Fargo shall during the
year 1905 be created and organ
lied in the same fashion and pro
vide and deed the same quantity
of land to the state. The accep-
tance of title to the land is to be
made by the governor and attor-
nev general. Should the state
cease to appropriate the sum OF
$5, 900 annually for the fair, then
the title to the premises reverts
to the association. The board OF
directors of the fair is to consist
of fifteen persons, and the gov
ernor, commissioner OF agrlcul-
ture and state auditor are eX-Of.
ticio three of the directors. Sec
ton of the bill provides that
$40, 900 is appropriated out of the
state treasury one half the
amount to go to each association
for the purpose of enabling them
to enclose their grounds and aio
in the erection of buildings. Sec
ton 9 provides an additional ap
preparation of $40, 600 annually tt
go to the city in which the fair is
held. With the association that
is already organized at Crane
Forks and the one that will be
; organized at Fargo under the
law. the state of North Dakota
should have an excellent state
; fair each year.-Bismarck Tri

Goodloe, brother, is an inmate of the
Soldiers home at Danville, Ill. Mrs.
Goodloe and her husbands relatives
lost all trace of Isaac Burton Goodloe
about 1880. He had gone west with the
regular army at the conclusion Of the
civil war and corresponded with his
wife and relatives until about twenty
five years ago.
When his brother. Joseph B. Goodloe,
went west in search of him, he learned
that a man answering to the name and
description of his brother Isaac had
been killed in a quarrel over mining
claim in Arizona. The sheriff satisfied
Joseph Goodloe that the dead man
was his brother, and he so reported to
the wife and relatives in Illinois.
When Mrs. Goodloe filed her pension
claim she turned the facts in the case
over to the pension agent at Kankakee,
ILL.,, where she and her son were living
at the time. Shortly afterwards the
Kankakee agent notified Mrs Goodloe
that Isaac Burton Goodloe, who had
served in the Eighteenth Illinois. was
already on the pension payroll and was
living in Idaho. -rs
Mrs. Goodloe and her son immediate
ly wrote to the Idaho Isaac Burton
Goodloe, who satisfied them at once that
he was the long-lost father and hus-
band. .--r.-

St. Louis, March 15.-The records of
the pension office at Washington have
developed many interesting romances,
and one tells of the returning of Isaac
Burton Goodloe and his wife and son,
who have been separated for more than
thirty years. Mrs. Goodloe thought Mr.
Goodloe was dead until informed other
wise by the pension commissioner.
Mr.. Goodloe is no wa prosperous miner
at Salubria, Idaho. His wife is in St.
Louis with her son, J. H. Goodloe. She
said this morning that Mr.. Goodloe, who
is now 72 years of age, is not in the
best of health. but has made all arrange
ments to rejoin her and his son in ST..
Louis by April 1.
When Mrs. Goodloe filed an applica-

preston that Mr.. Goodloe had died in
Arizona many years ago. All his
family thought likewise. Joseph B.

of the atmosphere, gives it a climate
Of unusual salubrity and pleasantness.
It has an annual mean temperature Of
A degrees, while it's mean summer tenn
perature is 70 degrees, the same as
that of middle Illinois and Ohio, south
ern Pennsylvania, etc. The excessive
heats of summer, often felt in other
states, are here tempered by the cooling
breezes. It's high latitude gives it cor.
respondingly longer days in summer
than states further south, and in the
growing season there are two and one
half more hours of sunshine than in the
latitude of Cincinnati
This, taken in connection with the
abundant rainfall of early summer, ac.
counts for the rapid and vigorous
growth Of crops in Minnesota and their
early maturity. The cool breezes and

Chicago, March 15.-More than $780,
100000 for new equipment for railways |
during the current year-$l11,OOO 900
by ten systems and about $9O,O0OOOC
by other lines-is the almost unprece
portation companies, and it is taken as
a forecast of an era Of still greater
prosperity in the nation.
This vast sum represents a conserva-
tive estimate of the orders placed, but
some authorities insist the total expen-
diture will reach a much higher figure.
These orders, also, are in addition to
liberal expenditures made during the
close of last year. 49,.
Soon after the national election the
demand for equipment of all kinds be-
gan to increase with such rapidity that
the railroads became convinced that
they would need to move quickly, if
they did not wish to see general con-
gestion Of all kinds of traffic during
loss in revenues.
Every railroad is bombarding car and
locomotive works with large orders, and
from the iron fields of the northwest
the ore is moving in great .consignments
and the furnaces thruout the east are
operating day and night
Big orders for new equipment given
by railways in 1905 are as follows:
Pennsylvania, $23 100000; Baltimore &
Ohio, $14,0OO,00O; New York Central
lines, $20,000,000; Southern Pacific,
$4,000, 900; Santa Fe, 100000; South
ern Re- RailWay, $4,000, 900. Rock Island,
$l0,0OO,O00; Norfolk & Western, $2,OOO,-
600; Erie, $16,000,000; Frisco sys-
tenn, $2,000,000; by other systems (esti-
mateQ, $90,000,000. Total, $2O1,-
100000. -
The reason for these large expendi-
cent monthly statements Of railroad
earnings, which have been mirroring
the increased traffic of the country. The
yearly statements of earnings show that
from 1899 to 1903 there was steady
growth in both the gross and net earn
the statements for 1904 are not COM
pleted, careful estimates disclose the
fact that the year surpassed that of
1903 in railroad prosperity.
