SCHOOL OF FORESTRY

Board Held Meeting in this City last Tues

David Clark, Chairman, and H. A.
Kirkelie of Bowbells held meeting
of the School of Forestry board Tues
day.
They passed a number Of bills and
made contracts with instructors for
the coming year.
They visited the new building and
found the heating plant installed, the
seats being placed, and with the hang
ing of few doors and little finish
ing the building will be ready for oc.
cupancy.
The boald, consisting of Msssrs
Clark of Bottineau. Kirkelie of Bow
bells. and w. O. Depew of Rolla, will
meet again December 10. At this
meeting the matter of selecting an
accounting officer and treasurer will
be taken up. Heretofore all the cash
belonging to the institution has been
left in the state treasury. and all bills
had to be sent to Bismark for approval
by the state auditing board before they
could be paid. With their own treas
urer and accounting officer these mat
ers will probably be attended to here
in Bottineau in the future.
An effort will be made at the COM
ing session of Congress to have grant
of land set aside for the endowment
of this school the same as the other
state schools institutions. The mat
ter Of having representative Of the
government bureau of forestry located
at this school will also be looked after

Still ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
American Farmer Learning to Do
Profitable Dairying.

In a recent conversation with the
writer, Prof. Fraser said that the
American farmer has not learned how
has not yet acquired the ability to
make as much out of his COWS as some
of the European dairymen do. He
declares that it is easily possible for
the American cow owner to make
twice as much milk and cream out of
1t as the average cow makes. This
Is a fourfold increase of the returns
from an acre of land.
There is no doubt that the pro.
lessor is right and that we can accom-
plish four times as much as we are
doing now and with the same gen.
eral expenditure. This is a remark
able statement, but it is one easy to
prove. The average cow is a poor
specimen of the bovine race, making
less than $50 POUNDS of butter in a
year. It is rot great stretch of the
imagination to see every COW giving
milk enough to produce at least 800
pounds of butter per year, or all cows
giving enough to bring the average
up to that point
On the other hand, it is not an ex.
travagant thing to believe that the
time is coming when the average acre
Of land will produce twice as much
forage as at the present time. In
this country we have had such a
superabundance of land that we have
fallen into the habit of using it waste.
fully. Some of the pastures are in
the condition in which they were
when the timber was cut off. The
soil has never been turned, and the
wild grasses are the only ones to be
found. 1t takes good many acres Of
such land to support COW, especially
in a dry summer, such as this has
been in some sections devoted to
dairying.
1t will require many years yet 70
awake our COW owners to the real
conditions as they exist and to COM
pare them with the conditions that
these COW owners down into the fields
of Holland or Denmark, the impres.
sion might be sooner made. To do
profitable dairying requires wedding
out process in our methods. The
method that has been followed for
two centuries of pasturing COWS on
any kind of pasture nature may give
us should be abandoned. The old
natural pasture does not produce
enough feed even when it it is not
overstocked, and it is frequently SO
badly ovs.stocked that it will not
produce as much as it might.

SKIM MlNGS.

American farmers should feed more
bran.
The hand separator is now very pop.
ular and profitable.
Alfalfa will greatly change the cost
of milk production.
If man would have a first-class
herd of COWS he should raise them
himself.
The pioneer always finds the cow
a great help in obtaining food in an
unsettled country.
A cow should not always be judged
by what she is doing, but by what
she might do if given proper chance.
The average of our cows is too low
in quality. We can improve it by
continually disposing of the poorest.
Many a calf that would make a
valuable cow is sent to the butcher
because the owner could sell his milk
at a good price.

Growth Of Dairying.

The growth of dairying in all the
civilized nations of the world during
the past Is years has been very great.
The increase of population in the ma
tions has made it desirable to produce
concentrated foods that will keep for
a long time. Dairy products in some
of their forms can be kept for long
time, and up to certain limit the
keeping improves their digestibility.
The development of dairying has been
largely in the countries having tenn
perate climate, but the industry is
gradually working toward the torrid
regions. In the latter localities the
problems connected with the keeping
of milk are greater than in the colder
localities, but the problems Of feeding
are fewer The south will yet engage
largely in dairying. ].

The Evidence Is all in and the Case will

The Murphy hearing at Fargo is
near at end. Before the noon adjourn.

the state, announced to the court that
the state would rest its case in the
afternoon, and that it would be pre-
pared to begin arguments.
During the morning session Regis
ter of Deeds Reidhus of Ward coun-
ty was on the stand to testify to cer-
tain mortgage and deed indexes kept
in his Office, which date back to 1908
and 1904. The introduction of the
records into evidence by the state was
for the purpose of showing that the
testimony given by Major Murphy to
the effect that when he went to Stan
ley and met William Crowder. the
complaining witness, he did not go
there for the purpose of seeing Crow
der, but that he went there to make
several loans and takes mortgages on
certain farm property. The records
were then gone over and it was found
that the mortgages said to have been
given as testified byMajor Murphy did
not appear on the index.
On cross examination the witness
testified that they had found several
omissions in the indexes where instru-
ments had not been indexed by his
predecessor. This was an important
point brought out by the defense in
rebuttal of the testimony given to the
state.

Penitentiary for Embezzlement.
It is not unlikely that at the next
meeting of the state board of pardons
application will be made for par
don for j. +. Lewis who was sent to
the penitentiary early in 1904 fol the
embezzlement Of large sum from his
employers. the Grand Forks Mercantile
company. The subject is under dis
cussion. and some of the people most
interested in the matter have been
interviewed. Whether or not the
formal application is made will depend
on the stand taken by some of those
who suffered most from the conse-
quences of the crime.
Mr.. Lewis was for many years chief
accountant for the old Mercantile COM
pany, and by his skill as a bookkeeper
he was able through series of years
to abstract from the funds of the COM
pany amounts agregating it is stated
over $35, 600 without detection. Most.
if not all of his money he mad invested
in lands and buildings in Bottineau
county, where he had one of the finest
farms in the state. Discovery came
during his absence and he was arrested
in western Canada. He returned with
out formalities, and pleaded guilty to
the charge of emhezzlement. After
some negotiation the property which
he held was turned over to his en-
ployers, and few weeks ago the farm
lying near Mohall was sold for abont
$40, 900. according to the figures given
to the public at that time. .....
