Pedigree Is AS Important in Grain Raising as

mon wheat. This means an addition
of more than ten percent to the wheat
crops. The Kherson oat in Nebraska
outyielded all competitors in period of
four years, nine bushels per acre. Pedi-
greed seed pays.
The only remedy for dirty seed is the
tanning mill. An up-to-date, modern
tanning mill will take practically all
weed seed from grain. A farmer does
not have to raise much grain to be able
to pay for tanning mill every year or
so. How much satisfaction would there
be in raising grain minus the mustard,
| wild oats and cookie. 1t can be done.
There are many farmers who discovered
years ago that those three crops paid no
profit, and they raise them no more.
Sow healthy seed AS large as was
the wheat crop in North Dakota last
year, it probably would have had a
market value of million more dollars
had it not been for the ravages of smut.
Such condition ought not to exist after
campaign of education that has been
going on for fifteen years against this
easily controlled disease. Formalde-
hyde does the work in a simple and
effective manner.
Sow large, heavy seed. HereEthe
tanning mill comes into play again.
When the weed seed is being removed
the small, shriveled grains naturally go
with them, leaving the plump, heavy
Seeds ones to be sown for seed.
The five things recited above enter
into the methods of every good farmer.

The mass meeting at the opera house
Tuesday evening was fairly we'll at
tended and, like city meetings of its
kind in the past, was characterized by
its unanimity of purpose.
The meeting was called to order by
A. J. Osborn, city auditor, who stated the
object of the gathering.
Frank Kihm, alderman from the 2nd
ward, was chosen chairman and NIL.
Ayers secretary.
Chairman Kihm announced that nom-
nations were in order, and on motion Of
Alderman Mckenzie from the Ist, Dan
Manning was nominated by acclamation,
amid shouts of joy. There was not a
dissenting vote in the house. Twenty
voices were calling for speeches from
the venerable mayor who had been
chosen for fourth term, but the chair
man remarked that it would be in order
to have all speech-making at the close OF
the meeting.
J. ,. white Tor city treasurer, John van
der Las for police magistrate and A. p
Folsom for city justice, were all nom
mated by acclamation. 1t seemed to be
the general feeling that these men had
served the city we'll in the past and that
no change was desired.
This brought the meeting up to the
nomination of aldermen, one each in the
four wards Of the city. The voters were
asked to divide themselves according tc
their respective wards.
In the Ist ward Fred Roquette wa.
unanimously selected to fll the place
formerly occupied by c. w. Conroy, D.
w. Mckenzie being the holdover alder.

candidate in this ward.
The 3rd ward had only one candidate,
Fred Turner, who was unanimously
selected to fill the place OF former Alder.

In the 4th ward about dozen voters
were out. E. Dryer and J. R. Stewart

ballots were taken. A scattering vote
was given to Robert Ryon and the spell
was broken, Mr.. Stewart being declared
the nominee, to succeed Pete Brown, C.

WELCOME WORDS
TO WOMEN.

Women who suffer with disorders pecu-
liar to their sex Should write to DR.. Pierce
and receive free the advice Of physician
of over forty years experiences skilled
and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter has the most
careful consideration and Is regarded as
sncrcdly confidential. Many sensitively
modest women write fully to DR.. Pierce
what they would shrink from telling to
their local physician. The local physician
Is pretty sure to say that he cannot do
anything without =" an examination" DR..
Pierce holds that these distasteful exam
nations are generally needless, and that
no woman, except in rare cases, should
submit to them. ''ur, H,, -

The good seed trains now being run
over the different roads of the state are
attracting much attention. 1t is to be
regretted that the N. P. train could not
have been continued west of the Mis-
souri,. Aside from the knowledge i'm
parted, much of which is already known
to most farmers. much interest and en-
thusiasm is stirred up in the interests of
good seed. Good seed means nearly as
much to the resulting crop as good an
cestors do in the offspring of cattle and
horses. There are five things that the
speakers on the seed trains are trying to
impress upon the farmers of this state.
These are:
I. Sow seed that will grow.
2. Sow seed with pedigree.
3. Sow clean seed
4. Sow healthy seed.
5. Sow heavy seed.
1t seems hardly necessary to empha-
size the first point but the writer has
known of farmers sowing seed half of
which was quite dead and much of the
remainder weak and nearly dead. Seed
ought not be sown, ten per cent of which
is dead. Nothing is easier than to test a
sample of grain as to its growing quail
ties. Obtain an earthen or granite ware
dish, put in half an inch of clean, wet
sand, count out 100 seeds, place them on
the sand, cover with moist paper, then
cover the whole with tin cover. Keep
moist and in warm place. AT the end
of week count out the strong, the weak
and the dead.
Pedigreed seed is important. The
ranchman or dairyman is not on the
lookout for runts from which to breed.
Pedigreed fife or blue stem wheat. such
as Minnesota No. 16o, yields on an aver
age two to three bushels more than COM

and it is not expected that BoWdoin

men and will doubtless give good
account of themselves. They are Capt.
Tobey for the hurdles. Shorey and Rob-
inson for the mile and two mile.
Dorothy for the dashcs, and kimball
for the quarter.
Capt. Tobey is of course the best
man in the number. and it is probable
that he will make good showing. He
is running the hurdles remarkably well
this year. The other men ought to do
well in their events as in years past
they have shown remarkably fast
work.
