skeptical as to whether apple trees
will grow and bear fruit in the Mouse
River valley, we will say that they
may very quickly have their skepti-
cism removed by taking q look into
Henry Erickson's door yard, where
may be seen number of apple trees
with branches bending with large
growth of apples about the size of
peaches at the present time. In look

1argo-After years OF high fu~l
rates, North Dakota promises to -
able to furnish power more cheaply
than any other western state. The
problem will be solved by the Ignite
coal bedA It will not, however. be in
the direct use Of the coal for steam
plants, but in the use of heating gas
generated from the coal This gas
promises to do away withCsteam power
plants in this state The tests by the
government have developed the fact
that no other coal excels that of
the North Dakota Ignite in heating
gas production, when cheapness of
the fuel is considered. This opens up
immense possibilities for this state in
the way of manufacturing. Fuel has
been 60 high that it prohibited manu-
featuring Industries. This may be
changed and the state can convert its
wheat directly into -four. The use of
gas from Ignite coal is also likely to
be recognized in the irrigation pro.
iects, and gas engines are likely to be
put in instead of steam engines

ter little gravel or stone. For the great CT part of the distance it will dig into a black muck, the same as borders the stream for miles on both sides. It is figured that, once the Brandywine is strengthened and deepened, the farm CTS owning marsh land will be able to raise bountiful crops of corn. In its present state 1t is practically worth less. In the upland property is held in the market at from $125 to $200 an acre; in the marshland the greater part of it cannot be sold at any price, and it is hopeful land indeed that brings $35 an acre. The ditch will send the marsh land up to figure equal with that on the higher level. During the greater part of the year the land along the Brandywine is covered with swamp grasses, and even cattle cannot venture upon 1t because of the danger of mire.
 The county surveyor will report on the probable cost of the work on Nov. 9, at which time the damages and benefits will be fixed. If the weather remains favorable and there is no other legal obstacle to encounter, the work of making the Brandywine a conner cial waterway will begin this fall

QUAIL A BOON TO FARMERS.
An Enthusiasts Estimate of Their
 Value In Eating Weed Seeds.

An Enthusiasts Estimate of Their
 Value In Eating Weed Seeds.
 Bobwhites, or the common quail of New England, eat tons of weed seeds annually and should .be protected by every farmer as his greatest boon, says the Washington correspondent of the Boston Transcript. Such is the verdict of an enthusiast in the department of agriculture. This authority has taken great pains to study the quail from every point of view, and the results of his Investigations will soon be avail able in bulletin. He has even taken the trouble to compute the possible amount that may be disposed of in Virginia and North Carolina, where there are believed to be four bobwhites, or par tPidges," as they are known in the south, to every square mile, making 54,S20 in each of the two states. Ac- cording to his figures, the quail of the two states each year dispose of 1,341 tons of noxious seeds.
 This activity justifes the theory that  every farmer should regard the quail on his land as his personal property, like his poultry and live stock. The farmers cupidity may be melted by telling him how much advantage he can derive from the judicious disposi- tion of quail, or the privileges for hunt ing them. Some farms containing from 800 to 1000 acres would by this meth cd probably yield a better revenue from bobwhites than from poultry. Shooting rights leased at high prices are source of regular income in North Carolina. Since much of the land throughout the southern states can hardly be farmed profitably. millions of dollars might be made by the proper management of the quail crop The time is perhaps not distant when farm. 1ers will protect these sbirds from hawks, foxes and poachers as careful ly as they do now their chickens. The transfer of the time honored scarecrow from the cornfield to the covers of the quail might be unique but not inn possible innovation,

NOVEL HORSE BREAKING.
How a Resourceful Woman Made
 One Familiar With Autos.

One Familiar With Autos.
 Owners of spirited horses who have been fearful of life and limb since the advent of the automobile need no lon ger worry, according to a special dis patch from Smithtown, x. l., to the New York Press. Fences and telegraph posts, which appear to become potent attractions to the animals as soon as motor car appears, need no longer wor- ry the drivers if they will only adopt a plan recently made public by a wom- an of Shutdown who prefers to hide from the fame which is justly hers. She Is the owner of horse which was in the habit of making for the most dangerous obstruction as soon as it spied an automobile. Because of the danger which attended the driving of the animal she was forced to keep it in the barn for a long time, but a few days ago her fertile brain solved the puzzle.
 She determined to make the horse fa- miliar with the sight of automobiles without risking her life in the process of education. so she rigged up a wheel barrow with bright tin pans and hoops, hung a red blanket and an old skirt over 1t. and when finished she had a devil wagon" that would fright en the safest horse. She also placed q long chain in the wheelbarrOw so that it would rattle against tho pans, and then she pushed the contrivance up and down the barn floor in front of the horse. At first the animal reared and kicked in efforts 10 get away. but it soon got used to the sight and sound and became tractable. Then an e1per- iment was made in the open, and again the horse failed to notice the rigged up wheelbarrOw. The woman drove the animal the other day for the first time in several months. and 1t passed all au- tOmObiles as though it were in bllssful ignorance of any such machine.

GAME BIRD PRESERVES.
National Breeding Grounds Planned
 on Islands In Lake Superior.

National Breeding Grounds Planned
 on Islands In Lake Superior.
 By proclamation of President Roose- welt, copy of whose order has been transmitted to the Marquette land office, all the unsurveyed lands in the Huron and Siskiwitt groups in Lake Superior are set aside as preserves and breeding grounds for native birds, says special dispatch from Marquette, Mich., to the New York World The action taken is in line with the movement creating forest, game and bird preserves on gov ernment lands adapted for the purpose in all parts of the United States.
 The islands affected by the presi- dents order are remote from ciyiliza- tion, an important factor in carrying out the plan of creating breeding ground. It is not the purpose of the department of agriculture, to whose ju- risdiction they have been transferred, to make Improvements on the islands, but to allow them to remain in their native wildness, maintaining constant surveillance in the matter of restrain ing trespassers and preventing hunters and trappers from visiting the places.
 In the Huron group there are num- Der of small islands which do not ap-. pear on the official maps of the govern ment land office Some of them con- tain less than a section of land, while others include within their boundaries from 800 to GOO acres. It is also or dered that all bodies of land that may hereafter be discovered and designated on the maps shall be included in the order as withdrawn from public entry, the whole group to be known as the Huron island reservation. There are eight full sections reserved in the Sis kiwitt, or Menagerie, group, located near the mouth of Siskiwitt bay, on the south side of Isle Royale.
