Arbor Day.

State of North Dakota, Executive
Department, Bismarck.-Obediently to
established custom. and convinced of
the wisdom of setting apart mi day
in spring for the planting of trees and
shrubs and the identifying Of treeless
spaces with those forest growths that
shall come to mean spreading branch
es and refreshing shade. do designate
Friday, April 81, as Arbor day for the
mend and urge that that day be made
a day of rest from customary avOca-
tons, upon which the people Of the
stateshall unite in the adornment of
their homes, schools and public places
by planting those trees and shrubs
that shall return natures blessings Of
beauty, symmetry and comfort to this
and coming generations. In the schools
of the state let suitable exercises be
held, teaching the wisdom and special
necessities of the culture and care OF
trees in our own state; let the grounds,
about our public institutions be fur
ther adorned with forest growths that
in the passing years shall be a continu-
ing source OF benefit and delight. Let
our people unite in an observance of
this day that shall earn the grateful
praise of coming generations.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the state at the capitol in Bis

STATE VITAL STATISTICS.

February Report of DR.. H. Il. Healy,
Secretary of the State Board OF
Health.
With sixten counties not reported,
the monthly report of Dr.. H. II. Healy,
secretary of the state board of health,
shows 507 births during the month OF
February and 173 deaths. This is hard
ly a fair estimate of the vital statis-
tics for the month, inasmuch as the
only report obtainable from Nelson
county covers a period of almost two
years. Sixteen cases of tuberculosis
were reported and IA deaths; - Eases
of typhoid fever and 2 deaths; 16
cases of diphtheria and 5 deaths; IS
cases of scarlet fever and / death; 10

ABOUT SEEDING GRAIN
Valuable Suggestions BY Prof. Shepherd and c.. c.
Churchill Of the Agricultural College.

Prepare your soil thoroughly before
seeding. Good seed is essential, but
good seed cannot give a heavy yield
upon'poorly prepared soil. You do not
expect to get a we'll developed animal
when you use straw for feed and a
wire fence for shelter, and you can
not get good crops upon weedy land
which is only half prepared. The diff
ference in the water holding capacity
of a good seed bed and a poor one will
pay we'll for the extra work required
in preparing, it. A loose seed bed
warns up sooner than a hard one and
in consequence the seed gets a better
start when it is young. 5
Time to Seed.-The time to seed de-
ponds upon the crop, but the seeding
of wheat, oats and barley should be
done as early in the spring as the soil
can be put in good condition. The seed
should not be rushed into the ground
without preparing a good seed bed
merely for the purpose OF having it in
and ripens when the ground contains
less moisture than it did ten days
earlier, and for that reason the yield
and quality are both reduced to- a
marked degree. Early grain is not SO
likely to rust as the late sown crops.
Seed your wheat first, then your oats
and barley, and, after that, your flax,
corn and millet. It is folly to plant
corn when the ground is cold. If seed
corn is put into cold ground it will
either rot or make a very weak
growth. If corn ground is prepared
early and narrowed once or twice be-
fore planting there will be much fewer
weeds in the field later in the season
and less work will be required to keep
the crop clean. Do not plant corn OF
millet when the ground is co cold that
they will not sprout and grow readily.
The first of June is as early as it is
safe to plant them in most easons Y
Depth to Plant.-Large seeds may
be planted deeper than small ones
There is less food stored in the small
seeds and a young plant has to depend
upon the soil and air sooner for a food
supply. 1t is folly to plant flax seed as

MORE JUSTICES NEEDED.

March Term of the Supreme Court
Opens at Fargo.
The regular March term of the
North Dakota supreme court began at
Fargo with a calendar of ninety-seven
cases. Cass county furnishes eighteen
and Grand Forks has eight. The rest
are divided between t~wenty-seven
counties. Three of the actions are
against the city of Farko. The work
of the court is becoming so heavy that
the change from three to five justices
will soon be imperative.
Several candidates are taking the
examination for admission to the bar
under the state board. This is the
first time the board has acted in its
official capacity, as the court appoint

deep as you would corn or wheat. "A
flax seed does not contain plant food
enough to build a flax stem more than
3k to 4 inches long. No food outside
of the seed can be used until the plant
has it's leaves in the sunlight. It must
also be remembered that the stems
from the smaller seeds are very weak
and cannot push their way through a
heavy covering of earth from a sheer
lack of lifting force. If the soil is dry
near the surface, the seed should be
put in deeper. No seed will grow un-
less it is in contact with moisture.
The better the ground is prepared the
shallower tie seed may be planted,
and the shallower the seed is put in,
if we'll covered and supplied with
moisture, the better it will start.
Wheat should be seeded at a depth of
three inches in the ordinary field.
Flax will do, best in well prepared
soils il not seeded deeper than n
inch, but it must be put in deep
enough to come in contact with moist
ground. Flax seed should never be
plhiAteu ueepef Iudu lufee W lui0e duu
sone-half inches.
Rate of Seeding.-Macaroni or dur
UNI wheat should be seeded heavier
than fife or blue stem, as the berries
are enough larger to require a greater
volume to contain the same number
and it does not stool as heavily as
common wheat. Six and a half to sew
en- pecks of macaroni wheat and five
1 pecks of fife and blue stem are about
the right amounts. on average soil. A
half bushel of flax seed per acre usu-
ally proves satisfactory. The expert
ment station has had good results
from seeding oats att the rate of two
and a half bushels and barley at the
rate of two bushels per acre. ,Millet
seeds of the spike head varieties is
commonly sown at the rate of two
pecks and the broom corn sorts at the
rate Of three pecks per acre.
Do not seed wheat after wheat fol
several years in succession, but rotate
your crops instead. Corn, millet and
grass form good preparatory crops for
small grain.

Grows Three Feet a Day.

The edible bamboo is a singular
plant. The young shoots are boiled
and eaten like asparagus. IT. often
grows a foot a day, sometimes three.
The shoots can be easily snapped off.
The tenderest ones, which bring the
highest prices, are dug up, like blanch-
ed asparagus. before their tips have
pierced the surface of the soil. The
early shoots bring about 6 cents a
pound, while the later product must
sometimes be disposed of for one-tenth

WEAVER VICTORIOUS
Philadelphia Directors Put Out
 of Office by Force.
NAYOR'S NOMINEES REINS7ATED.
Smyth and Costello Compelled to Withdraw by Aid of Police Of. ncers Potter and Acker
 Again Take Charge.

PHILADELPHIA. May 26.-Mayor Weaver. assisted by former Judge Cor don and four detectives, forcibly eject ed from their offices former Directors Smyth and Costello, who had come to occupy them on the strength Of Judge Ralston's injunction.
 Neither Director Smyth nor Director Costello offered serious resistance.
 The situation is momentarily becom ing more tense and strained. and the police in and about the city hall are ex- ercising the greatest possible vigilance.
 Accompanied by his counsel and four detectives, Mayor Weaver went to the office of Director of Public Safety Smyth. He informed that official that he had been dismissed and that his presence in the office was trespass Director Smyth withdrew from the of flee The mayor placed two detectives in charge and then went to the offlce of Director of Public Works Costello where the same ceremony was repeat ed. Mir. Costello also quit his ofiice, and detectives were placed in charge.
 Later Colonel Sheldon Potter and A. Lincoln Acker. the new directors. were notified by the mayor to assume charge of their respective departments. This they did. and the detectives who had been placed in charge Of the offices were relieved from duty. The first of- ficial act of the new directors was to send for the bureau chiefs and official ly notify them of the changes. None of them knew what was in store for them and after cordially greeting their new chiefs departed in happier frame of mind.
 The action of the mayor was the most sensational move that he. has yet made. The moment the news mashed through the great city building that the old di- rectors were out and the new men in rumors flew thick and fast that a wholesale dismissal of bureau chiefs was about to occur.
 While the mayor was ordering his old directors out of their ofice his at torneys appeared in the supreme court and obtained special supersedeas sus- pending the temporary injunction granted to the old directors by the county court.
 Tn the thick of the fight comes the story that the mayor is to he impeach- ed. For what particular offense was moi clearly defined. One rumor had it that he would be brought before the bar of the city councils for his con- duct of an election fraud case while he was district attorney. and another ru- nor had it that he was to be made to answer for some alleged lapse of duty while in his present position.

Chicago Court Decided In Favor of
 Strike Leader.
 CHICAGO, May 26. = Cornelius F. Shea. president of the International Teamsters union. was upheld by Judge Kohlsaat of the federal court here in his refusal to answer questions before Master in Chancery sherman which might tend to incriminate him. Shea is now under indictment In the criminal court. and Judge Kohlsaat de clared that answers to some of the questions put to him might prejudice the hearing of his case.
 In the same decision which excused Shea the court ruled that Bernard Mulligan. president of the Express Drivers union. and John Donohue. . member of the same union. had re- fused to answer questions which could not in any way connect them with any criminal proceedings. and they were. therefore. in contempt of court. He sentenced both men to jail. but allowed them to remain in nominal custody In the hands of United States Marshal Ames for five days in order that their attorneys may perfect review on ha- beas corpus proceedings before another federal judge.
 The strike did not spread further to any great extent. and there was little disorder. A number of lumber firms made few deliveries. but did not at- tempt anything like their normal amount of business.
 There is no apparent prospect in any direction Of a settlement of the strike.
