A HAPPY FELLOW /,

~
! The happiest man in the world,
says an exchange, is the common,
every day chap who makes his own
living, pays his own board and has
the respect Of his neighbors. He
saves a little money as he goes
along but doesn't try to get a cor
ner on the local output, and he is
not slave to ambition and society.
He never expects to wear out his
pants sitting in the Senate, and
whenshe glides into his clothes in
the morning never wastes any time
trying to pick out the right tint Of
socks, suspenders OF neekties to
blend with the general effect. He
wears billed shirt when he feels
like it, and whenehis pet corn be-
gins to jump, he whips out his
his jack knife and cuts cash in
the side of his boot and nothing is
said about it in the papers. He
never has to sit up at night to
poultice his conscience; he believes
in the doctrine Of live and let live.
When he encounters the needy, he
doesn' stutter with his pocket book.
The plain plug of q man is happy
because he is satisfied. He doesn't
spend the forepart Of his life yearn.
lug about something that is four
sizes too big for him in political or
other arenas.

No region in the country is more
interested in the meat trust than is
western North Dakota. A writer in
the February issue of "Everybody's
Magazine" claims that the trust is
a greater power than the govern
ment, greater than the court or
Judges, greater than Legislatures,
superior to and independent of all
authority or nation This, if true,
is an alarming state Of affairs, es-
pecially as "three times a day this
power comes to the table Of every
American This writer goes on to
show how all competition has been
practically eliminated between the
great packers. and how they have
brought the big railroads to terms
and exact rebates from the com.
mon carriers all over the country.
It is not in accordance with the
temper Of the American people to
quietly submit forever 10 any such
tyranny a. this. Courts, legislat-
ures and even the government may
be unable, with their present ma
chinery, to curtall the power of this
all powerful trust, but a way will
be found. The laws may be inade-
quate as they now stand, but if so,
they will be changed. Or, the high
est court in the land may declare
unconstitutional such repressive
laws as may be enacted. If SO,
then the constitution or the court
will have to be changed. The proc
ess will not be short one; but it
will be sure, even though it may be
beset with difficulties. The meat
fruit and dairy products every
where but in the locality where
they are produced, are getting more
costly every year, but the prod
does not get the benefit of the en.
HANGED price. Nocommercialpo
can be allowed to reduce to serf-
dom the farmers and stockmen of
the nation; and strongly entrenshed
though this great trust may be, it
must yield to the superior force and
energy of all the people. Mandan

SEED GRAIN AND FORMALlN.

Nearly all the best farmers in
NORTH Dakota are using the fo-ma-
lin, treatment for their seed grain.
A few careless people, some shift
less ones, and now and then a good
wheat grower, do not yet see the
pressing need Of doing this. A
great many others do not do it be-
cause they think it hard and
costly thing to do, and many never
heard of its being done. Some fail
who have nsediti in getting exemp-
tion from smut, but in all such
cases that we have looked into, it
has been because of poor formal
dehyde.
Mr.. A. K. Bush, we'll. known to
North Dakota institute goers, made
. pretty thorough investigation of
this treatment in North Dakota last
year along with the writer, and has
this to say of its
"Be sure the drug comes from a
reliable source, OF better still, have
its strength tested to know that it
is 40 per cent strong. One pound,
or pint. in 40 gallons of water is
the required strength for treating
the seed grains which must be wet
by some simple process and piled
for a few hours before sowing to
obtain the full benefit of the drug.
However, this does not apply to
fax, which must be sprayed with
two or three quarts of the mixture
and at once raked and shoveled
until dry to avoid caking. Wheat
and rye will take about four quarts
of the mixture to the bushel, while
oats and barley require rather more
than one gallon per bushel. The
expense should not exceed one cent
la busuel for the material used.
The grain should be seeded
within day or two of the time it
is treated to avoid heating. The
bulk will be increased about % per
cent by the added moisture, which
will necessitate additional amount
|of seed per acre.
. Farmers who have been using
the formalin treatment on seed
grains are unanimously agreed that
It will destroy smut in the grain
fields and spores on the FAX seed.
I'm addition to this great saving
which means additional millions of
bushels of grain annually to the
northwestern farmer, it is generally
agreed that the seed grains that are
soaked and sowed while still moist
sprout quicker and grow more vjg-
orously than seeds that are not so
treated. Several reliable farmers
have told us that the ripening was
hastened a week or even ten days
where the formalin treatment was
applied. Dakota farmers know
that such gain in time frequently
means the saving of a crop, espec-
tally in seasons when hot winds,
frost and hail storms prevail just
about harvest, as they usually do |
when a big harvest is in sight. - !!

A Sad Accident

+. c. Albert was quite serious
ly hurt yesterday evening, on
the fair grounds. He had been
raking and had driven up to UNI
hitch his team. In stopping the
team the tongue of the rake broke
and threw him to the ground.
This scared the horses and they
started to run. Both bones be-
tween the knee and ankle were
broken, one shoulder and his back
badly bruised and one hand and
wrist severely cut.
Fortunately the horses only run
a few feet until the rake caught
on the pump stock, which stopped
them. Had it not been for that
it is probable that his injuries
would have been much worse.
