VALUE OF STRAW.

The time has come all through the
country when the straw should be bet

straw is an excellent coarse foragea

work or not. Straw Of any sort is thel
best available raw material from
which to make plenty of the most val.
liable fertilizer to be had on the farm.
1t makes the best Of mulching for
trees and berry bushes, and in our cold
northern winters the stock should a..,
have good bed Of straw to sleep on.
Still. too many men leave It in the
fields where thrashed in an uncouthI

more attention can profitably be paid

the form of providing better buildings

more of an egg producing ration.

at the expense of some rather stringent

have changed since you were a boy
and are changing more rapidly now
than ever before. The chances for the

your boy enough education to raise him

We know a wealthy farmer living
about a mile from certain town who
decided that he would be more useful
and more happy If he moved to town
with his family, composed Of boys and
girls, none of whom had reached his or
her majority. He did SO, and at the end
of a couple Of years we find him back in
his country home. During the two
years. residence in town the boys learn
ed mor.. meanness than they will ever
forget, and no amount Of country air
will ever purify their morals. The ia
Their, as the rule with most hardwork-i
ing men who exchange regular work
for irregular idleness, formed con-
venient lodging place for stray germs,
and as result his health is forever
Impaired. Moreover, during those two
years of idleness he made himself 80
obnoxious to his friends and others in
town by sticking his nose In affairs
which concerned him not that he has
forfeited much Of the esteem which he
had gained as a busy and useful farm
er. Let not your longing after the flesh
pots Of town life lead you into a similar

that the tile draining of land will wa

MOELLER.

DR.. Thor. Moeller, a Devils
Lake physician, takes exception
to an item which appeared in the
Independent last week about a
physician named Moeller, who
spent some weeks in Minot last
summer. The Devils Lake doc
tor has never practiced in Ward
county, and in fact has never
been here, so what was said was
not intended for him at all. The
Independent understands that
the Devils Lake physician is a
gentleman in every sense of the
word, and certainly did not in
tend to cast any insinuations at
his character. The doctor is
one OF the most prominent mem
bers OF his profession in the
state.
