FIRST PRELIMINARY GAME.

There was plenty of excitement in the first preliminary game between the Second Wards and the Benedict & Burnham teams. It was nip and tuck battle with every man on each team fighting hard for victory. The first period ended with each side taking one goal. The second period saw two goals added to the records of both teams. In the third period in less than one minute of playing the Second Wards had scored what proved to be the winning goal. It was. a great fight then until the gong called for the close of the contest. The lineup and summary:

HARTFORD WAS EASY !

{ Hartford, Feb .13.--The pennant chances of New Britain will not be checked nor injured very badly If they play many games with Hartford. That was very evident last evening in the game between the two played in the Hartford rink. The leaders simply toyed with the Starkie quintet and put the ball into the netting just about as they pleased. The Hartford fans were not happy. not even little bit, and they said some very unkind things about some of their player. The lineup and summary:

DRY FARMING.
Explanation OF the Principles 81 the
Campbell System.

ExrlanhtiOn OF the Principles Of the
Campbell System.
& What western people have become
accustomed to call the Campbell sys9
TEN Of dry farming consists simply in
the exercise OF Intelligence, care, pm.
thence and tireless industry. 1t differs
In detail from the good farming meth
DDS practiced and taught at the various
agricultural experiment stations, but
the Underlying principles are the same.
These principles are two in number:
First to keep the surface Of the land
under cultivation loose and finely pull
verified. This forms soil mulch that
permits die rains and melting SHOWS to-
percolate readily through to the com.
parted soil beneath and that al the
same time prevents the moisture stored
In the ground from being brought to
the surface by capillary attraction, to
be absorbed by the hot, dry air. The
second is to keep the subsoil finely pull
verified and firmly compacted, increas-
ing its water holding capacity and its
capillary attraction and placing It III
tne best possible physical condition for
Inc termination Of seed and the devel-
opment Of plant roots The dry farm
er thus stores water not in dams ana
artificial reservoirs, but right where ii
can be reached BY the roots OF growing
crops.
Through these principles rainfall OF
twelve inches can be conserved SO efs
fectiyely that it will produce better, re-
suits than are usually expected OF ap
annual precipitation Of twenty-fouf
inches in humid America. The dfscov.
erer and demonstration Of these prin-
cfples deserves to rank among the
greatest OF national benefactors He
has not merely made two blades OF
grass grow where only one grew before,
but he has made 1t possible to cover
with wheat and corn, alfalfa and other
useful crops tens OF thousands Of squar
miles Of fertile land On which nothing
but sagebrush. cacti. Kansas sunfiow.
ers and bunch grass are now found.

be established in the western part of
this state factories for the manufac-
ture Of pottery costing hundreds Of
thousands of dollars. One of the best
evidences Of the efficiency Of the ma
terial made from the clays of which I
speak, is that the Grand Forks public
building is built of 1t, and before the
material for the building was accepted
it was put to the severest test by gov
eminent inspection, which it withstood#
and was pronounced in excess of the.
required tensile strength, density and
general efficiency by more than thirty
per cent over the average of the ma
terial used in such buildings.
We have also, in the northern part
of the state, shale rock from which
the best of Portland cemeni is manu-
featured and cement made which is
fast coming into prominence in this,
the beginning of what may be called
the cement age. There is a1so ce-
ment rock in the western part of the
state which is destined in the near
future to be a prominent factor in the
upbuilding of the state.
The artesian beds underlying a
great portion Of our state are capable
of development and will be developed
as necessity requires. far beyond the
dreams Of those who are now expert
mentfng with artesian flows.
The state has an unlimited supply
Of beautiful and durable stone for
building purposes.
Heretofore we have raised or grazed
a large number Of range cattle, but we
are fast growing into state noted for
the fine bred cattle, sheep and hogs it
contains, and while this industry is
practically only just begun and will de-
velop in extensive proportions, even at
almost the outset Of our career a
North Dakota bred animal has taken
first premium at the great fine stock
show held recently in the city Of Chi
cago. Our people are alive to the ne
cessity Of using the best strains Of
blood in the breeding of their horses
and cattle, and it requires the wisdom
OF no sage to predict truthfully that
before the state even begins to get
hoary with age It will be noted as the
breeding ground Of the sire used for
the higher grades of stock raising
throughout the whole country.
One Of the greatest growing re-
sources Of this undeveloped country, a
resource that is incalculable and ines
Unable in the future Of our state, is
the large percentage Of school chill
dren proportionate to our population. Of

ADDRESSES MADE AT
REAL ESTATE MEETING
Wealth and undeveloped Resources Of
s$.s. the State.
BY Mr. r, N. Stevens.

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men: The subject assigned to me is
4 the Wealth and Undeveloped Resour-
ces Of the State" The value of the
farm products of the state in 1905 ag-
gregated s15O,O0o,0O0, or an average
of nearly $4,000 to the farm. The total
value Of all farm products in the state,
pro rata to the population of the
state, gives to each man, woman and
child $780, an average in excess OF
any other state in the union. The
dairy products Of the state in 1906 ag-
gregated about $1,000, and even of
chickens and eggs there were sold in
1905 nearly 100000 worth. There is
on deposit in the banks of our state
between s35,000,0OO and $40,000,000,
and our per capita of wealth is the
greatest of any state in the union save
one, which is no bigger than some of
our counties and is practically a
borough Of the city Of New York.
And now, of our undeveloped re-
sources. There is in the state more
than twenty-five thousand square
miles Of coal beds, furnishing a fuel
which, when science and discovery
shall have found binder which will
permit of briquetting, successfully
from commercial basis, will furnish
fuel equal in efficiency to the anthra-
cite bers Of Pennsylvania, and suffi-
Gent in volume to supply not only our
state but the whole of the northwest
for centuries to come, and furnish
light, heat and power to millions yet
unborn.
We have five thousand square miles
Of clay beds, suitable for making
building material, and also pottery
susceptible of partaking of the highest
of the decorators art. The exhibit
made Of pottery made from our clays
in st. Louis and Portland, part of
which is now on exhibition In the
capitol building, is justly entitled to
3 the high award of merit given it by
the competent judges who passed up
on it at these two world fairs, and
the day viii come when the manufac-
I turers Of the United States will seek
our clays and will establish in this
country Factories for the manufacture
Of all classes and kinds Of pottery, and
II look forward to the day even in my

George w. Perkins

Mr. George Walbridge Perkins, the
big fnancier and well-knowfi figure in
Wall Street, was born in Chicago on
January 81, 1862 He received a COM
mon school education and was married
early IN life. Mr.. Perkins began his
business career as bookkeeper in the
Chicago Office Of the New York Life In
suranee company, and was made cashier
in 1881 and inspector Of agencies in

1885. He became second vice president
in 1893 and first vice president in 1908.
AS Mr.. Perkins had by this time become
well instructed in Wal Street matters
he was taken into the firm Of ]. Pierpont
Morgan 8 Co. in 1901, and was made a
director in many Of the big corporations
founded with the aid Of the great Nor
gan financial backing. MI. Perkins

and forty thousand OF them are be-
tween the ages of six and twenty. OF
these, one hundred and thirteen thou
sand are in actual attendance at
school, giving us one Of the largest
percentages Of school children, pro-
portionate toyour population, OF any Of
the states. We have already invested
in what may be. termed the country
school, which is outside Of any Of the
state educational institutions, more
than $4,OOO,000. The moneys which
will be derived from the sale Of lands
belonging to the public schools and
public institutions Of the state will,
when all is sold, create fund Of more
than $6O,0OO,000, heritage perpetual
to the cause of education. Let us SO
live as that by word and deed we may
show to the children Of the state by
our example, and teach them by our
practices that love of country and
that just pride in the state Of our
choice which shall glorify her name
and spread broadcast the advantages
she possesses. s=$3
It is said there is magic In name.
Yes, there is. The name of North Da-
kota has travelled westward along the
two transcontinental lines that pass
through our state until it has reached.
the Pacific. 1t has Travelled eastward
on the great chain of lakes until it has
reached the Atlantic. It has been
waited by natures breezes across the
broad ocenan until it has reached the
eastern continent, and today, and for
years past, not sail has whitened,
either ocean but has borne pilgrims
seeking homes in this wonderland, and
we can say truthfully and with pride,
that the broad domain still waiting to
be tickled by the hand of usbandry
when it shall blossom forth and bear
fruit, is sufficient to accommodate not
only the natural Increase In our own
population, but also the home-seeker
from foreign lands for decades to-
come. The undeveloped resources Of
this great state are so vast and va
ried and must in time, as they are de-
| veloped result in changes so radical
as that words cannot describe the
grandeur, the wealth, and the popula-
ton that shall ultimately be ours.
North Dakota ozone has been a ma
terial factor in the development of the
nerve and muscle and brain power Of
our present. president, Theodore
Roosevelt, and we have material for
many more.
It is at present state without a
:. millionaire, but contains hundreds 81
them prospectively Our undeyeIoped
resources are SO vast in extent, SC
i great in proportion, that when the
i final day shall come and Gabriel shall

the artifcer, the manufacturer ant
the husbanman will still be discover

A Low Poultry Run.

A safe and secure poultry run that
requires less material than a high pen
can be made from laths sawed in two,
which would make the sides 2 feet
high, making the frame of scantlings
and the top Of sawed laths, box boards
or similar material. The top Of the run
should consist almost entirely of trap
doors, using bits Of old harness for
hinges, which will look well If cut neat
ly. The Illustration shows one of the
doors propped up to show the construc-
ton more plainly. The doors are
feet long, the length of lath, and may
be or 10 feet the other way and still
not be clumsy, being constructed Of
such light material.
This trap door Is an important fea-
ture, as it permits the tender to enter
easily for removing top soil and replac-
ing with fresh earth, or other caring
for the birds. The frame material Is
of 2x2-inch scantling at the corners,

Historic Oak In Texas.

When Gen. Zachary Taylor came to
Texas on his way to Mexico during the
Mexican war he landed at Rockport on
a point adjacent to the Bayview Hotel,
says the San Antonio Express. He
then marched his forces up to where
Fulton now stands and halted there
before going on to Corpus Christi.
When Taylors army halted Gen. Tay-
lor camped beneath the shady boughs
of an oak that is still standing senti-
mel there. This oak Is over eight feet
In diameter and Is probably the largest
oak In Texas. 1t Is gnarled and bat
tered. Vandals have built fires against
1t that have almost eaten its heart
out, but still the leaves are green upon
it's branches and its friendly shade is
sought by the hundreds who frequent
the locality. 1t Is king Of grove Of
large and stately oaks. One popularity
about these and other trees in this To-
cality is that the prevailing wind has
bent their branches so that they lean
toward the northwest.
While l was there 1 found children
scaling the old oak and perched upon
It's long and waving limbs. They made
a playground of the locality and their
merry laughter was mingled with the
music waited through the trees from
the old Hall house, where women were
playing on violin and piano the old
time southern melodies so in harmony
with the scene.

Any fool can destroy trees. They
can not run away; and If they could
they would still be destroyed-chased
and hunted down as long as fun or a
dollar could be got out of their bark
hides, branching horns or magnificent
bowl backbones. Few that fell trees
plant them; nor would planting avail
much toward getting back anything
like the noble primeval forest. Dur
Ing mans life only saplings can be
grown In place Of the old trees, ten CEN
turtles old, that have been destroyed.
1t took more than 5000 years to make
some Of the trees in these Western
woods, trees that are still standing in
perfect strength and beauty; waving
and signing in the forests of the Sierra.
Through all the wonderful, eventful
centuries since Christ's time-and long
before that-God has cared for these
trees, saved them from drought, dis
ease, avalanches and a thousand strain.

he can not save them from fools-only
Uncle Sam can do that.-John Muir

Subsoiling and drainage are systems
that should be practlced In connection
with each other. Subsoiling without
drainage Is more damaging than bene-
fetal, as it allows the water to accumu-
late and there remain. If the system
Of drainage is made complete there Is
nothing better than deep cultivation, as
sisted by the subsoil plow. The great
fear Of those who are opposed to sub
soillng Is that they are compelled to
desirable, as 1t requires time for the
cold undersoil to become proper plant
food; but the subsoil plow does not
as many suppose, turn up the soil. 1t
simply pulverlzes 1t. The plan usually
pursued is to plow the soil in the ordi-
nary manner, following in the same fur
rows behind the first plow, with sub
soiler, to which should be harnessed
three horses, in order that the work
may be thoroughly done. AS the first
plow moves on, leaving the upper soil
broken, the subsoil plow, coming after
1t, should go in to a depth Of at least
inches below the plowed furrow Ga
foot, If possible), thus rendering the
actual depth quite deep, though moi
mixing the upper and lower strata
The advantage Is that moisture is re-
tained when rains are not frequent, ow.
Ing to the greater capacity and depth
of absorption at the time of rain, and
also greater moisture from capillary
attraction by virtue Of the porosity OF
the subsoil.

Already Dated.

In certain London railway stations
the proprietors Of the lunch counters
have custom Of dating eggs. That
is,v they mark on the shell of boiled
egg the date on which 1t was laid.
The evident purpose Is to reassure
doubling customers the possible result
Is less comforting.
A party arrived at the station shortly
before midnight, and following the
habit of all American travellers, made
at once for the lunch counter. They
demanded eggs, and asked that they
might have some Of that very days

at the clock, which pointed to quarter
before twelve-"if you'd not mind the
