The Senior Glass has begun the
consideration of a class PIN or ring.
Some very pretty samples V been
submitted for their selection. The
class has thirteen members again this
year.
Thare has been some discussion of
getting pins by the whole High
school. They can be had enameled
in the school colors for 25 cents and
they undoubtedly tend to promote
school loyalty and interest.
The football team was beaten at
Uawarden last Thursday by a score

In comparison with other schools
the item of hardness makes the poor

fault of those at home. May we not
have a concerted effort to better this?

SEED SEPARATING APPARATUS.

r1culture has suggested as a satisfac
tory means of separating light from
heavy seed the use of current of air
as follows:
A simple and effective device for the
purpose Is shown in the figure. The
material necessary for constructing
this machine can be obtained by to
bacco growers from almost any chem
ical supply house The foot bellows
(Al Is connected by means of a rubber
tube OBJ to the valve tube (CD. The
glass tube Id is fitted with rubber
cork lEj In which the valve tube Is
inserted. The top Of the cork is COW
cred with piece of finely woven
gauzc In order to prevent the seeds
from entering the valve tube. About
an ounce Of seed for separation is plac-
Cd in the glass tube. and Il current Of
air is injected by means Of the foot
bellows. The strength of this current
must be regulated by the valve &C. SO
that only the dirt chaff and light seed
will be blown out of the top Of the
tube. 1t is advisable to screen out all
Of the large particles Of hulls and trash
before putting the seed in the tube.
It is claimed to be easily within the
reach Of every tobacco grower to select
his seed plants in the manner outlined
and to thereby improve his crop with
out any extra expense and very little
labor.

Farmers Organizing. .

Farmers of U. S. and Canada
are organizing to fix prices on
farm produce. Boards of trad e
and gam blers set prices now,
make hundreds of millions, while
farmers say nothing, but take
the dirty end of the deal. 10000
to $1,000 joining daily. Great
organization. Why struggle for
big crops if you have no voice in
pricing them? A meeting to
form q local union to the National
union, to get better prices, will
be heldat Milbank, Monday, May
21st, at 2:3O. The plan is reason,

ALBAN.

May 9, 1906.
Farmers are busy sowing flax and
getting ready to plant corn.
The frosts of the fore part of the
week do not seem to have done much
damage.
The wheat fields generally seem to
show rather q thin stand this spring,
due in a majority of cases to poor
seed.
We forgot to mention the fact last
week that Elmer Zeilike also rode
the Workman goat on the night of
April 30.
Alban will do her share this sum-
mer in the way of improvements .
Among these Joe LOhrer, who pur-
chased the Whempner place q few
months ago, is building a new resi-
dence, and Joseph EIDE has commence
ed the erection of a new up tod ate
barn. 40x64 feet with basement.
Politics are quiet in Alban, as is
always the case when people are busy
but when it comes to so serious q
question as to whether the delegation
from our township should be for the
present organization or insurgents,
there should be no question. Take
an hour or SO on caucus day and 60
and cast straight vote for an organ
ization delegation which you know to
be clean, and not for such 'reformers I"
as the insurgent machine is trying to
foist upon the people.

A COMMON HOTBED.

heating it and upon the skill of the
operator. HOtbeds are sometimes start
ed as early as January, or they may
be delayed until in March.
There are various methods of con-
struction, from the excavation or pit.
two or more feet in depth. walled Up
with brick or planks, to the simple box
set above ground and tilted on one
side for the slant to the sash.
Where hotbed frames are set on top
Of pile of fermenting manure the ma
nure should extend beyond the edges
Of the frame, otherwise the frame may
become too cold about the outside and
the plants suffer. 1t is generally pref
erable to have a pit beneath the frame,
In which the manure is placed.
Baily advises to first put in a layer
Of an inch or two of any coarse ma
terial and upon this from twelve to
thirty inches of manure. The earlier
the bed Is made the larger should be
the amount of manure. Hotbeds in
tended to hold for two months should
have about two feet Of manure as q
rule. The manure should be put into
the pit In layers four to eight inches
thick. each layer being thoroughly trod
den down before another is put in.
Manure that has just the right amount
Of straw in it will give a springy feel
to the feet as a person walks over 1t,
but 1t will not fluff up when the pres
sure Is removed. Above the manure
may be thin layer Of leaf mold or
some porous material that will serve
to distribute the heat and above this
are four or five inches of soft garden
loan, in which the plants are to be
grown.

DANGEROUS FAKES
Tricks TO Introduce Alum Bak-

Tricks TO Introduce Alum Bal<-
ing Powder which Should be
Exposed.
There has recently been at
tempted at some Of our grocery
stores, and also at dwelling
houses, by agents who are try.
ing to sell alum baking powders,
what the exhibitors call q baking
powder test. They pretend to
show by some boiling test that
pure cream OF tartar baking
powders con tain something
which every woman of intelli.
geuce knows they do not.
1t does not need chemist to
expose this trick. Cream of
tartar, which is the chief con-
stituent of the best and most
wholesome baking powder, is
originally a clear, white crystal.
This is ground into a fine creamy
-four, in which form, mixed with
baking soda, it is present in the
baking powder. Cream of tar
tar, when mixed with water and
boiled, simply returns to it's
crystalline form, and that is all
there is to the So called test.
The matter of special interest
to the public is to know what
these people offer in place Of
cream of tartar powders of we'll
known purity and established
reputation against which these
SANDERS are directed. They are
Offering a baking powder which
official analysis have repeatedly
shown is made from alum, q
drug so we'll recognized by ply,
sicians and scientists as injurious
to health that in many countries
it's use in bread is entirely pro
hibited! So cheap and inferior
are the ingredients of this pow
DER that it costs to make less
than three cents a pound. No
prudent housewife will knowing
