AN INSTITUTE
AT KNOX
~ ~ 80 ;,
Farmers Held Interesting I've Days
Session This week-Prsfesssr How.
srstad Present end Made Tinel,
Talks Of Interest.

A farmers institute was held at
Knox Monday and Tuesday of this
week and was conducted by Prof. How
erstad with Mr.. Litchard of New York
state and Mr.. Churchill of the agri-
cultural college Of Fargo assistants.
The morning session was attended by
only few. but the afternoon brought
out quite large attendance. Prof.
Hoverstad gave some practical talks
along the line of growing clover, al
falfa and timothy. Mr.. Churchill gave
an address on growing corn in North
Dakota. He advised the North Dako-
ia farmer to grow his own seed and
recommended the Flint varieties as
being the best and earliest for this
climate. What is known as Golden
Dent is about 10 days later than the
flint varieties. It is one of the earli-
est varieties Of the dent family. The
time is rapidly coming in this state
when farmers will be compelled to
raise corn or other crops that will re-
store some of the elements OF fertil-
tty back to the soil. Mr.. Churchill was
followed by Mr.. Ltchard, who talked
at considerable length on the impor-
lance of maintaining the fertility of
the soil. He said that 1t was no worse
to rob bank than 1t was to year after
xear rob the. SOIL and give. nothing
back. Mr.. Litchard thought his au-
dience did not look lively enough, and
he livened 1t up by telling a number
of humorous stories. He had brought
out q grip full from New York for
the special benefit OF the North Da-
kota farmers. After a very instruc-
tive talk on the elements of plant life,
he turned the subject to the impor-
lance Of good citizenship, and 1t being
Lincoln's birthday, he paid a high
tribute to the illustrious life and char
acter Of the man whose memory is
loved by ever patriotic American.
At the evening session the hall was
filled with an enthusiastic audience.
Prof. Hoverstad opened the meeting
by giving a very interesting talk on
poultry raising. He gave his ex--
perience stating that the time was in
his experience, when he could only
get fresh eggs during the warm
spring months. His chickens got busy
when eggs were cheap, and that made
the hen fruit Improbable By build,
ing warm house and by intelligent
feeding, he managed to persuade the
hens to lay during the cold weather
when eggs were worth from 80 to 40

EDISON
Local Man Secures Patent Oh Inyen-
ton That viii Keep Women on
Their knes-A Household Necessity
That Should BE Manufactured Here.

H. E. H. Arnaan, prominent young
architect who resides at 40 Alpha
avenue in this city, has secured a pat
ent on an invention that is destined
to make him a small fortune. The
invention might be termed q scrub
bling machine, though the name by
which the inventor designates it is a
floor cleaning apparatus. 1t consists
of a main bar to which is attached a
reservoir holding the water. To this
bar is fixed another which by means
of hinges operated by slide on the
main handle throws a brush upon the
floor, opens valve in the reservoir
so that the water can flow out and by
moving the machine backward and
forward, the operator standing erect,
the scrubbing is DONE Then by the
change of the slide. the brush is ele-
waited from the floor, mop takes it's
place, the water valve is closed and
the floor is mopped, the mop rung, and
the machine ready. to repeat the pro-
cess. The affair is SO light that a
child can operate it, but the work done
Is superior to the best handwork. 1t
relieves the housewife of one of her
worst drudgeries, and makes scrub
day" sort of vacation. The machine
can be sold at retail for about three
dollars. Mr.. Arnaan is considering
some plans for manufacturing the ap-
paratus and putting it on the market,
and 1t would be one of the best things
the city could do to take hold of the
matter and have them made at home.
1t is household necessity, not toy,
and will at once take it's place in the
stock of every dealer in family sup
plies in the country.

Only an Argument,
fNontpelier Argus.l

The prize in the political struggle this
year is the United States scnatorship, though
there is TO be no vacancy for some years,
and the governorship is only means to an
end. There is much doubt, therefore, where
some aspirants and their friends will decide
to cast their strength and this complexities
the situation. The present struggle is only
a contest for position. The position OF con
gresham from the second district Is also a
point OF interest for while precedent would
require Proetors successor to be taken from
the ives, side Of the state, precedent may be
dsrcgarded in the confusion that Is likely TO
follow this years contest, There Will with
out doubt be two or more contestants for
Iiaskins's seat II is not probable. however,
that any OF these contests will extend be-
yond the nominating convention, Democrats
can best serve their party and their state by
holding aloof from republican discussions and
making what gains they may for the demo
cratic party. They should not be deceived
by demands for or promises Of reform. Re-
form is only an argument for republican CON
testants

The testimony given in the hearings
before the state commission investi-
eating conditions at the house of cor
rection at Rutland emphasizes the need
of the remedy-work-s suggested by
The Reformer for existing conditions
among our criminals. If the state would
supply work suitable for all classes of
criminals and roomy and healthful
quarters in which to coufne its charges,
we should soon see a decline in the
number of commitments and a general
advance in physical and moral stand
ards inside our state institutions. Few
persons can be idle and not deteriorate
and these would not be found among
the naturally vicious. Steady work
under kindly but rigid discipline, whole
some food and cleanliness forms pro-
gram not enticing to the shiftless or
depraved but excellent for bringing
out the best in man. 1t will pay to
adopt it in our state institutions.

Not everyone will be able to agree
with the Burlington license commits
sioners that an illegal standard of
liquor produced by watering is not se'
rious enough to warrant prosecution.
If the samples analysed did not con-
form to the standard fixed by law, that
was all the commissioners needed to
know to make prosecution their duty
1t is not for local officials to consider
the nature of adulterants in illegal
goods, as that is not the province OF
the law under which they act. The law
merely sets standard to which all
liquors must conform. They are sup
posed to do so when sold by licensed
dealer and if they do not, the evil-de-
ception-from which the law seeks to
protect the consumer has been as sure
ly wrought as if the liquor sold were
part wood alcohol instead of part wa
ter. If watered liquor is not an i'm
position worth resisting, why object to
watered milk?
