Tonight brings feeling of sadness
To our hearts, "a We think that no more
Shall we meet day by dav In the school room
As we've done many times heretofore.
We've had many pleasures together,
Which In memory ever will live;
And we always shall think of our schooliays
As the happiest life has to give.
But now the farewell must be spoken,
And that word brings regret to each one;
For the time has arrived for our parting,
And school work for many Is done.
We must now for ourselves fight LIES battle
And 10 W would conquerors be
We should all do our best in the conflict,
Nor yield till the victory we see.
So let us go forth to our life work
With courage and hope AMI good cheer.
Made strong for each duty before US
By friendships formed, lessons learned
And let us so live, nv dear classmates,
That, our work in this world being DER,
We shall meet in that beautiful country
Where paintings shall come nevermore.

As may readily be seen, the programme
partook largely of the nature of class
day exercises, and much of it was per-
sonal in it's character Space would for
bid any detailed mention of the indi-
vidual points Suffice it to say that
many good hits were made, and most of
the members of the class had their in
dividual characteristics pretty well
brought out into the limelight when the
parts were finished. The distinctively
literary parts were also we'll written and
gracefully delivered, and everything
evinced thorough work and careful
preparation. The large audience listen
ed with interest and careful attention,
and gave each speaker hearty applause.
Superintendent Alton G. Wheeler pre-
sented the diplomas with very brief
address, after which the class closed the
exercises by marching upon the platform
and singing the class ode. The words
of the ode were written by Miss Helen l..
Chapman, and set to music by Carl S.
Briggs.

SERIOUS LOSS.

Toxic. Sept. 12.-The navy depart
ment annaunces that the battleship Mix
asa has been destroyed by fire, and the
explosion of her magazine, causing the
loss of $50 lives, inc ludlng men of other
ships who went to the rescue.
The fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight, Sunday night, Sept.
10. Before the officers could be rescued
the fire reached the aft magazine, which
exploded,f blowing hole in the port
side of the vessel below the water line,
and causing the ship to sink.
The Mikasa was the flagship of the
japanese navy, flying the flag Of Vice
Admiral Togo, the commander-in-chief.
She was present at all the principal en-
gagements during the war, and was on
several occasions reported severely dam
aged in action. In the battle of the sea
Of Japan, she led the fleet in action, and
her name was mentioned in connection
with some of the most stirring events of
this famous sea fight.
In this battle the Mikasa was the heav-
lest loser Of all the Japanese ships, having
63 killed and wounded. She approached
nearer to the Russians than any other
battleship.
The Mikasa was also the flagship Of
Admiral Togo after the great naval battle
fought off Port Arthur on Aug. 10, 1904,
-. ..I ? b N HAt - aft.S-
on which occasion the Japanese flagship
also suffered the most, but continued in
the fighting line. On that occasion the
Mikasa had todr officers and twenty-nine
men killed, six officers and twenty-nine
men severely wounded, and four officers
and twenty-nme men Slightly wounded.

Plant Corn for Fodder

There is no forage plant grown that
will produce such yield of feed as corn.
There is no plant which forms better
food for farm animals providing the corn
is grown so as to produce the largest
number OF ears. Corn which is grown
thick like sown corn or corn thickly
drilled, while it may yield yield larger
tonnage cannot have the same food
value. Corn grown in this condition has
more fibre and less of true proteids
Much of the nitrogenous matter is in
form not suited to produce muscles Of
lean meat. This matter is one to often
overlooked. 1t is not how much nitro.
ge nous matter is produced which deter.
mines the value of food products, but
rather in the plant Neither does corn
gr own thick produce as much starch
which is the product OF most value ir
corn.
For fodder, plant the corn just as you
would to produce the maximum crop
This has been the experience of the east
ern stations and of practical men who
have studied the subject. 1t is true thai
ifyou are simply after tons of material
you may get large yields from the thick
er grown crop.
After the other farm crops are in see
that good field of corn is planted ii
order that there may be good food
material, not only during the summer
mont hs and dry autumn, but that there
may be green fodder for winter and that
more animals, rather than less, are KEEP
up on the farm.-North Dakota Farmer

estimated. The cause Of this shortage is
hard to account for inasmuch as the
wheat is plump and we'll filled and of a
good sample. The constant wet wealth,
er in the spring had lots to do with re.
ducing the acreage all over the county
and to certain degree is accountable
for some of the shortage, but there are
fields of grain that were not affected by
the wet that show equally low average.
1t is safe to say that the crop of Pembina
county will be 20 per cent below the es-
innate ofa month ago. The yields re-
ported to this Office this week runs from
four to sixteen bushels, with an average
of about twelve bushels to the acre.

Making Poor Hay.

So much rainy weather has caused
more poor hay to be put up than usual
but there is time left in many sections to
put up considerable wild hay still. New.
comers, especially, should remem Der
that late cut prairie hay requires very
little, if any, making" THE sooner it
is in the bunch after cutting, the better
and the sooner it is in the stack after be-
ing punched, particularly if it is little
windy and. dry, the better also. We
have repeatedly cut, raked and stacked
upland prairie hay in September the
sa me day,and while we have many times
been sorry we did not get our hay up
sooner, we have yet to repent putting
this class of hay up too soon.
The loss from exposing all kinds of
hay too much, and too long, to sun and
wind, runs into hundreds of thousands in
the Dakotas and western Minnesota
every year. Particularly is this true. of
late cuthay. It's perfectly possible to
make hay in the same field that will win
ter stock SO that it is skin poor in the
spring, or that will bring them out in as
good flesh as they were in the fall, if fed
enough Of it. When all the nourishment
and flavor is bleached and blown out of
hay, it is nor at all strange that it will not
keep stock in as good condition as prop,
erly made hay. More than half our hay
is made too much. Grafton News and
