Struck by a Train.

Dickinson Post: Thursday about
noon Lou Sorenson, a bridge carpenter
working on the bridge this side of
Gladstone, was struck by a freight
train and thrown into the Heart river.
Mr. sorenson was taken from the
water nearly dead and brought to the
Dickinson hospital at once, One rib
was found to be broken, his back bad
" injured and that he lis injured in
ternally is certain Yesterday morn
ing his condition was very serious and
grave doubts are entertained as. to
his life. From all that can be ascer,
tanned In regard to the accident Il
seems that a dog Of which Mr. soren-
son was very fond was standing on
the bridge and did not notice the an-

enough to be handled for the best in
terests of all tax payers. We; have
looked over this question carefully and
we find If the counties are divided as
above that each county can be run for
so per cent less taxes than is now re-
CURED to run Morton county. The
last levy of taxes, not including school
or village, will amount to $68,000 for
running expenses. Oliver county of
only 20 townships levied tax Of only
$10,614.47 for all running expenses in
Guiding road and bridge funds. Oliver
county does mot owe one cent but
what she has cash on hand to pay,
with $46.65 in the clear, except $4,000
court house bonds, for new court
house they built few years ago. If
the taxpayers wish there is no reason
why the proposed new counties can.
not be run in the same way. Three
times the tax Of Oliver county would
amount to $31, 84331, this would be 50
per cent, of what it now takes to run
Morton county. 4. jss. E1 &

During the past year the enrolment
in the correspondence course in ele-
mentary agriculture at the agricul-
tural college has been a little over a
hundred. A large percentage of these
students completed their work in a
very satisfactory manner
The work was presented to the
teachers in way much more practical
than is common in the regular cor
respondence schools as samples of
grasses, grains, etc, were sent out in
great numbers to illustrate the work.
In fact so much illustrative material
was sent out to those taking the
course. that their work approached
very closely to resident work in
thoroughness. '.*~..
The course is offered again this year
and many teachers are now enrolling.
The instructors in charge of this
work would like to have as many as
possible begin this work about the
first of October SO as to get much OF

Agricultural College, N. D., Sept. 80.
The harvest on the farm was COM
pleted some three weeks ago and the
department of agriculture is now able
to check up on some of the returns of
| the summers work. Some Of the
most interesting and valuable results
have been obtained in the plant breed
ling section from across made be-
tween blue stem wheat and emmer
(spelt). The cross was made in order
| to produce If possible a wheat having
TALL the desirable ehara cteristics of
/; blue stem with. the addition, of a more
tenacious chaff. One great defect of
lb1ue stem is its habit Of shattering
easily, especially when permitted to
ssheconle at all over-ripe, and the re-
lsults obtained this summer promise
a wheat in which this fault will be
IoFerccme but in which all the valuable
traits Of the blue stem will be re-
tanned. N .y$5 Isl
Another very valuable feature in

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Dickinson Post: Trees and shrubs
hold prominent place as decorative
factors in those regions where they
attain their best growth. In regions
naturally treeless they are objects of

DUAL PURPOSE COWS
II. S. RUSSELL OF cAss COUNTY
WRITES INTERESTINGLY ON
THE PROFITS
FROM RAISING BEEF AND MILK
CATTLE IN THE STATE OF
NORTH DAKOTA.

DISeueTSg "IdHSLLG.& BECAUSE oil It's
having been considerably discussed
locally, I am quite Interested in the
question raised by Samuel G. Bryan,
Clarendon county, S. c., in the article
wants Beef and Milk on His Farm, Z"
in your issue of August Is. Mr.. Bryan
contemplates investment in dairying-
on his southern farm and is disposed
to believe he will get the most milk
and best beef steers" 4 he uses d bull
Of extremely good beef tendencies, but,
of one of the dual-purp breeds, on
strictly dairy cows. He states that
the heifers from this cross would find
ready market in the south as aver
age mixers, and in the bull calves, he
believes, there would be sufficient out
come to make fairly good beef streers.
T, Mr.. Bryan will find many farmers
in the country who lay claim to pay
!; ing returns received from this pfac-
/. tiee, it being considerably followed, /
believe, in Iowa. In my opinion, how
ever Mr.. Bryan will find poor success
in attempting to raise the bull calves
Il as steers. There. would be money in
h them as veals. Furthermore, in re-
4 gard to the practice. he must not fail
B to take into consideration the fact
g that in. selling the heifers, which, he
admits, will be only average mixers
and of doubtful value as profit win
ners, he must always purchase the
milksrs. The average mixer brings
B only an average price and Mr.. Bryan
{ will undoubtedly get hardly more than
Ecost for the heifers, hence he will
II find that whatever profit may accrue
I from raising, the bull calves will be
4 paid out when he buys another COW.
( It is impractical to think Of disposing
of the heifers for they are really the
mainstay of the herd. 1t is among the
new lots coming on that we look for
our additional breeders and good
mixers and we generally expect them
to be a little better than their dams.
a good COW commands her price and
one can raise a good one a whole lot
cheaper than he can buy her. In
view of this fact, IL Mr.. Bryan has
good dairy cows, 1t Is certainly an
erroneous idea to allow them to pro
iuce scrub progeny.
In your August goth issue Loring
Brown, Cobb county. Ga. had an arti-
Gle .tImprove ment Through Education
81 in Georgia |" Mr.. Brown states that
on his farm Of 200 acres they have
(. about 275 Jerseys and high grades,
over 100 Berkshires and some 5. 900
chickens. Did It ever occur Mr.
BRYAN that there would be better
money In making porkers, and per.
HAIRS chickens with them, of the sur
\ plus feed instead Of beef steers The
markets In Georgia are probably mol
much different from those In South
Carolina and If this article catches ME-

what he does with his hull calves. asis

ELECTED MAYOR.

The ARGUS desires to congratu-
late Harry III. Cross who was elect
ed Mayor of Tunnelton by such a
handrome majority. Mr.. Cross is
a coal miner and one of the bright
est in the State. He is one of the
most intelligent and studious young
men of the county and is bound TO
make his mark. He is a general
favorite with his fellow craftsmen
who have an abiding faith in his
leadership. Harry Cross is one of
those conservative and thinking men
who does not allow his personal
feeling to outweigh his better judg-
ment. The almost UNANIMOUS vote
which was cast for him in the NUM-
cipal election shows that he is high
ly regarded by all classes of citizens
of our neighboring town. Mr..
Cross has bright future before
him and THE ARGUS feels safe in
predicting that greater honors await
him.
