Pioneer Settler Passes Away.

Early last Thursday morning at his
home in this city Mr.. Nels N. Guam
dahl, one of the pioneer residents Of
this county, passed away after an
extended illness. He was born in
Hardanger, Norway. Octboer IA, 1928,
and came direct to Winneshiek county
in 1856, settling upon a farm in
Pleasant township, which until three
years ago was the family home, when
they removed to DEBORAH. In 1860
the deceased was married to Miss In
geborg KierlaDd, who. with two sons,
Nels NJ. one of Decorah's prominent
druggists, and o. N, of Northwood,
survive him.
The funeral services were held at
two O'Clock Sunday afternoon from
the residence and then from the First
Norwegian Lutheran church conducted
bv Rev. 1. B. Torrison, assisted by
Rev. X. Seehus, of Locust.

deeply mourned by those who have
known him for so many years.

cockLEnuas AND GRASS.

A friend who owns "a farm of 500
acres which he is compelled to rent
finds that the careless farming done
by his tenant in the growing Of corn
and crops of small grain has filled the
farm full of cockleburs and wishes to
know what he had better do to get rid
Of this pest. 1t cannot be done by any
method in any one year, for the ground
is probably so full of the seeds that
even If none were allowed to go to
seed from now on there would still be
plenty on hand at the end of four
years. We think he will have to try
the grass cure for this pest-seed the
land down and either NOW it for hay
or pasture it for a series of years. BY
thus doing he will not only get rid of
the burs, but he will rest and very
greatly improve the fertility of his
farm. A farm in grass never grows
poorer; a farm devoted to grain grow
ing by tenants Is on the highroad to
impoverishment Every quarter Sec
ton farm In the west should carry not
less than forty acres of grass all the
time. Then the old man can leave
decent piece of land for his son to
work.

THE MANURE spREADER.

We have never come across q man
who used manure spreader who did
not rate it as one Of the most valuable
tools on the farm. Some way manure
applied with the spreader always be-
comes a safe investment, bringing
quick and sure returns. In no way
does its beneficial use become more
apparent than when the cornfield Is
given top dressing any time after 1t
is planted up to the time 1t is ten
inches high; this work done on the
places In the field where the soil is
little thin and again where the meadow
is to be cut for hay top dressing Of
eight or ten loads an acre will produce
almost marvellous results. There are
some things which it is not best for a
farmer to go into debt for under any
circumstances, but any man can well
afford to pay 10 per cent for money
with which to buy manure spreader.
Then to think that all through the
great west there are no end Of farms
where the owners are content with
thirty-five bushels Of corn to the acre
and right around their barns lie hun
dreds OF loads of the most valuable
fertilizer to be had, rotting and leach
ing in the sun and rains! Such men
do not appreciate their opportunities
and privileges. They might easily dou-
BILE their corn crop by the exercise of
a little enterprise, work and a manure
spreader

HOSPITALITY.

We read much of the pleasant hospi-
tality of those who dwell in the south
land, and many are the references made
thereto by those who have Travelled
there. Yet it was but the other day
that we heard gentleman who had
been travelling through the north, and
whose own home was north Of the Ma
son and Dixon line, say that hospitality
was lost art in America. We don't
believe him, yet can clearly see his
point of view when he tells us that at
many of the farm homes where he stop
ped for drink or perchance meal,
while driving across country, his recep-
ton was far from cordial, entirely lack
ing in any show Of good feeling. Hos
pitality does not necessarily imply a
prOdigal bestowal of meals and lodging
free of charge to any stranger who may
come along, but it does call for obedi-
ence to the common rules of courtesy,
the willingness to give one. whether
your neighbor or stranger, a cordial
greeting and lend helping hand in
case of need. Show us your hospitable
man and we will show you an opti-
mist. a broad minded citizen, good
neighbor. Show us a home where the
spirit of hospitality prevails and we
will point out to you a happy family
and harmonious home circle. Ne who
will practice this virtue will find his
own reward-he will receive far more
than he can ever give.

Finn Sues the City.

John Finn, for many years resi-
dent of this city and former post
master, now living in Prairie du
Chen, has sued the city of DEBORAH
for the amount of taxes assessed
against him as penalty for refusing
to swear to his assessment last spring,
and it promises to be a lively case
in court. When Mr.. Finn gave in his
assessment to the assessor he was given
an opportunity to swear to the same
as required by law. but refused to
do SO. whereupon the assessor taxed up
the penalty provided by law. that of
doubling his assessment, and he now
sues to recover this.

If that excellent Cummins annex,
the Des Moines Register anu Leader,
which tried to be funny over an error
which crept into this paper last week
had broadened its vision a little, it
would have discovered in another
column of the same issue another
reference to the Hon. George ID.
Perkins, in which that gentleman was
spoken of as the editor of the Sioux
CITY Journal and not of the Tribune.
The fact is that the quality of fame"
as il respects George d. Perkins is
not to be circumscribed by this or any
other paper. Even the Register and
Leader must admit that Mr.. Perkins
is the moral and intellectual peer of
any man in Iowa, broad, cultured,
capable gentleman, who has his con-
victions. and also the necessary
courage to maintain their. A few
weeks ago, the Register and Leader
under the inspiration of one Of it's
funny spells in an article nearly a
column long astonished its readers by
a remarkable statement touching the
word "obey'' which it seriously read
into and out of the marriage service
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
1t was really "too funny for any
thing" Moral; "Those who live in
glass houses" etc., etc.

GOOD READING NATTER.

The value of lot of good reading
matter in the farm home where there
are young folks. and even where there
are not, is almost impossible of proper
appreciation. Altogether too many
homes are filled up with literary trash
selected because it is cheap. If one can
find time for just ten minutes each day
and every day to come in touch with
the great minds and the best thought
of the world. it exercises most potent
and broadening influence; it does more
than this, for it will surely create an
appetite for the best things in liter
AIRY way, and an appetite for good
things in reading is just as mandatory
and exacting as depraved appetite
for the bad things. There are but few
people. we care not what may be their
vocation, who could not if they would
spare few minutes each day for this
elevating work. One of the great privi-
leges of living in the twentieth century
lies in the easy access to all the best
thought Of the master minds of the
past. Any farmer with children in his
home who are possibly limited as to
educational advantages may easily
make this educational loss good by
seeing that his home is literally sup
piled with good reading matter-books,
magazines and newspapers-an it is
just as much duty to see that this is
done as it is to properly feed his stock
and harvest his crops. We have been
in many farm home where the read
ing matter included only a mail order
shOddy story paper, local paper and
half dozen cheap subscription books
Of doubtful value. To try to raise a
boy or girl on such stuff is like trying
to raise calf on sour separator milk.
