Turn About, Fair Play.

On last Monday a stranger Civ
ing hisrnaue as J. A. Bigelar, APP
lmared in our midst and offered for
sale some stove polish, said TO be
of inferior quality. During his
rounds he ran on to Marshal Will
COX and Justice Won Steiger and
found them easy victims. After
trying the polish and finding it to
bc worthless, Won happened to
think that the Law required a IL
cense for peddling goods. He at
once got busy and found that the
poor fellow had none. Thinking
this ii good chance to get even, he
fixed up Il warrant and Mr.. Wilcox
was more than anxious to serve it.
The trial. of course. was before
Justice von Steiger, and the way
he soaked it to him wasn't slow.
Won could hardly wait to say $40
and costs, The fellow dug the
cash and out oftown- and has not
boon heard Of since.

Things That couat In Grain Growing.

It is now claimed that the for
maldehyde treatment for smut has
increased the oat yield of Wiscon-
sin alone nearly 300 or about
!AO,O0O,0W worth, and that OF
barley and wheat correspondingly.
We do not know just how exact
these figures are, but we do know
that this treatmant of seed grain
just before sowing will very mate
rally increase the yield and value
of the small grain crop and it is
these little increases with no ma
terial addition to the cost of pro-
duction that makes the profit, or
what comes in clear above actual
cost. If every bushel of seed put
into the ground in the Dakotas
this spring, instead of being hit-or
miss seed, could be carefully Sc
lected for it's strength and uniform
ity and then given a thorough
treatment with formaldehyde, we
believe it would add millions to the
wealth of these two states. If in
addition to this. the seed could be
put into well prepared and care
fully rotated ground, it would add
millions more without adding very
much to the cost of growing the
crop.
These things are coming. Our
best farmers are doing a part or
all Of them and when the habit is
once formed, it is seldom broken
off. Steadily growing better crops
on land that is constantly growing
more productive is a very different
thing from gradually getting poor
er yields from land that is con-
stantly getting poorer. One is
farming--thc other eventually
ruin Dakota Farmer.

Farmers coming into town re

Farmers coming into town re-
port that a large acreage Of grain
is being planted this year. Owing
to the early spring, farmers were
enabled to get the wheat seeding
through in good season. This
gives the farmer time to prepare
the land ready for fax and a large
acreage will be put in. The season
is an exceptionally early one, and
the farmers are taking advantage
of it. Several. large farmers of
the county are using engines for
stubble blowing and they give sat
isfaction. An engine and blowing
outfit will turn over about twenty
acres and. in a short time the far
mer can have his land ready for
seeding. The blowing by steam is
no novelty in this county, especi-
ally breaking, but it was not until
recently that steam was used to
pillow back the stubble. The en-
gines are now made with an extra
width wheel SO that it is almost im-'
possible for the wheels to sink into
the soft soil. Flowing generally,
keeps the farmer hustling to get
the job completed and ready for
seeding in good season, especially
if it has all to done in the spring.
The farmers of the Red River
valley, if they want to see farming
with all the latest improvements,
need but to come out to Mclean
county. Here they will see the
huge 25-horse power engine, burn
ing the native coal, breaking up
the prairies at the rate Of Is to 20
acres per day. The steam plows
in this county are getting so COM
mon that but little attention is
paid to them by the residents.

illegal to Set Prairie Fires.

So many damaging prairie fires
have occurred the past few weeks
that one can but blame the origin
Of many of them either to igno.
rance of the law in such cases or to
criminal carelessnes, but in either
case the penalty is severe should
there be a conviction. First of all,
no man has a right to set fire to
stubble, grass or even an old stack,
unless it is surrounded by a legal
fire guard. The law reads
eff any person shall set or cause
to be set on fire, any woods, marsh
OF prairie, or any grass or stubble
lands except in the months of July
OF August, except as hereinafter
provided, such person shall be
deemed guilty Of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction thereof shall
be fined in a sum not less than ten
nor more than one thousand dol
lars and be imprisoned in h ecounty
Jail for a period not exceeding six
months. or either, or both at the
discretion Of the court, and shall
also be liable in a civil action to
any person damaged by such fire to
the amount Of such damage"
Relative to what constitutes le-
gal fire, and under what conditions
they may be made, the following
two sections are plain:-
"A strip of land plowed OF burned
or partly plowed and partly burned
not less than sixty-six feet wide is
hereby designated a legal tirebreak
or freguard."
For the purpose Of makinga fire
guard, it shall be lawful to set OH
fire a strip of prairie not exceeding
oiielundred feet iii width, which
shall be protected on each side by
Il strip of blowing or burning not
less than FIVE feet wide. and at such
burning there shall not be less than
four men present prepared with
wnter and suitable appliances to
keep such fire under suitable con-
troll"

sThst Tells the story.
Among the Nasal, a native tribe IN
German East Africa, is found the fol-
lowing story Of the creation, which, &C
cording to DR.. Emil Reich, they could
not have got from missionaries. DE-.
Reich thinks that the Christian, Nasal
and Babylonian accounts had q COM
mon origin in Arabia: "In the begin
ming the earth was q waste and bar
rem wilderness in which there dwelt a
dragon alone. Then God came down
from heaven, fought with the dragon
and vanquished it. From the dragons
blood, which was water, the barren
rock wilderness was made fertile, n
the spot where the struggle between
God and the dragon took place became
paradise. Thereafter God created all
things-sun, moon, stars, plants ana
beasts and finally two human beings.
The man was sent down from heaven
and was called Maitumbe, and the wo-
man, Naitergorob. sprang from the
bosom Of the earth.
"God led them into paradise. whore
they lived an untroubled existence. Of
oil the fruits. therein they might eat by
Gods permission; Of one tree alone
tseyamightsno not taste. Often God came
down to see them, when he climbed
down a ladder from heaven. But one
Day he was unable Tor . long time to
ind them. but finally discovered them
crouching among the bushes. On being
asked the meaning Of his conduct Mai
tumbefeplied that theyswere ashamed
because they had eaten Of the forbid
den fruit. .Naitergorob gave me Of the
fruit he said, and persuaded me to
eat it after she had eaten Of it herself
"Naitcrgorob sought to excuse herself
by saying, The three headed serpent
came to me and said that by tasting
the fruit we should become like unto
thee and almighty Then was 'Ngai
(God) wroth and banished the two first
human beings from paradise. He sent
Rilegen, the morning star, to drive man
out Of paradise and to keep watch
