NOTE CAREFULLY
Experience and Advice Regarding
Tree Culture in Western
North Dakota.

A gentleman who wishes to i'm
prove and beautify bis property in
western North Dakota wrote to the
experiment station for advice as to
what kinds of trees to plant, when
and how to plant and where to. buy.
These are the questions hundreds
Of readers are asking and we print in
full uperintendent Waldron's reply
and would suggest also that visit
to the experiment farm when spend
ing day in Dickinson will be time
pro6taby spent and show what can
be done in short time without ar
tificial water supply, if the work is
rightly done.
Dear Sir:-Your favor Of Sept. 4th
at hand. l am sending under separ-
ate cover "a bulletin issued by US
which deals briefly with most Of the
points you have brought up. The
trees here have been doing remark
ably we'll and 1 am sure they will do
as we'll for anyone if given the same
care.
We plant the native trees of seed
ling sizes, one or two years old, pur-
chased from mort! ern nnrserymen by
the thousands, costing US not over 81
per THOUSAND. The varieties doing
best with US are the green ash and
box elder. I'VE also have planted elm
and soft maple and other kinds in
smaller numbers.
The ground should be prepared as
we'll as for cOru. Burrows are to be
plowed where the trees are to be
planted. A man takes a-bunch Of
trees in pail of water and plants
with spade. The spade is set,
moved back and forth and the root
of the tree inserted behind the spade,
the spade.withdawn and dirt pressed
against the roots. After planting, the
ground may be cultivated level or the
furrows may be left to fill in gradu-
ally.
The hardest varieties of apples
will Withstand the winters, but it is
as yet .question--whether they can
be made to bear protitably without
special protection. If one intends
growing fruit, windbreaks or shelter
beIts.should be planted on the south
and west sides of .,the area. Plums
can be grown and are safer than ap-
pies. Some of the hardy apples are
Hibernal, Wealthy, Patterns and
Northwestern Greening, Duchess and
Charlesmoff. The following -plams
can be planted: Wolf, DeSoto, Sur
prise, Forest, Garden and Cheney.
Some of our DeSoto plums planted in
1905 are bearing this year. Compass
and Sand cherries are perfectly hardy
and early and prolific bearers. Cur
rants and gooseberries can be easily
grown but do much better with pro-
lection from the drying winds. All
planting of trees and shrubs should
be done in the spring.
Trusting that these ideas may be
of some value to you, am

GRAIN PRICES HIGHER
Thrsshing Weather Needed ID
Minnesota and North
Dakota

The week last passed closed down
on all threshing operations in the
northern part of Minnesota and in
this state. In the Red river valley
not..50 per cent of the crop is Lhreshed
and the same is true in North Dako-
ia. and in some localities very little
has been threshed.
Wheat advanced two cents BUSH
el in Duluth Saturday on the
strength of the weather and it's pos
sible effect on the securing Of the
crop.
The general belief is that the pure
food legislation has had decided
effect on the price Of barley and NAL
sters are buying more barley this
year because the state and federal
inspectors are requiring more honest
ingredients in the manufacture Of
beer. BARLEY went up two cents
and as high as three cents a bushel
Saturday also on the. Duluth board.
There is a wide margin in the mark
ct, however, and buyers pay accord
ing to the quality. Barley..off color
does not work to lower the price as
heretofore. Both the consumer and
the farmer will be gratitied with the
results of legislation and the policy
of their Legislatures 10 insist on pure
materials in malt instead of cheap
chemicals as substitutes. The pure
food and drug legislation is one Of
the greatest advances in the interest
of the public that the country has
yet seen and the lawmakers have
struck a popular chord in passing
and enforcing reasonable laws in this
respect.

There has never been a time
when the people of the entire
country were so thoroughly
aroused, and so thoroughly de-
termined to suppress the sale and
use of intoxicating drinks. A
wave of gigantic proportions
seems to be sweeping the coun-
try and closing saloons in nearly
every town where the sale of
whisky has been legalized. Es-
pecially is this true in Kentucky
and Tennessee, and unless some
thingsshappens to check the on
ward movement, but few cities
will be selling it within a few
months. Knoxville, one of the
most progressive cities in the
South, has taken a stand against
it's traffic. In this State the
temperance people have won in
nearly every place that a vote
has been taken, the last victory
being Lebanon.

The Column bia Commercial

our best citizens, and heavy tax
payers, has borne the expense Of
investigating road building in
other counties, and for several
weeks has been actively engaged
in developing plan to be pre-
sent for the consideration of our
Fiscal Court. Every member OF
the Club is enthusiastic for the
building of good roads; every
one wants a system adopted that
will secure a few miles of sub
stantial road every year, and
with this end in view, aplan en-
bracing all details, has been
adopted, and committee ap-
pointed to present it to the
Court. If the interested citizens

worth the time lost from their
farms.

The meeting of the Adair
County Fiscal Court will doubt
less inaugurate system of road
building that will prove one of
the most important steps taken
by any county in this part of the
state. The Columbia CONNER
cial Club is assisting in giving in
formation heretofore received by
representatives sent to other
parts of the State for this pur-
pose. At any rate the magis-
trates seem to be thoroughly
aroused to the Importance of
good roads, and the County
Judge and County Attorney are
thoroughly in accord with pro-
gressive steps in this line. With
a strong public sentiment favor
ing macadam roads, with an open
and expressed invitation from
Our strongest taxpayers to levy
the highest tax allowed for such
purposes, and the realization of
the conditions Of our roads, we
cannot see a single reason for
hesitation. The present court
will doubtless put into operation
a plan of road building that will
mark the turning point in Adair
county.

The Fiscal Court of this coun-
ty, ought to appropriate Adair
county's pro rata of the expense,
in making a creditable exhibit at

are not called on for a large sum,

WE'D, APRIL 8, 1907.

On thursday the Fiscal court
will take up the road proposition,
and it is hoped that all citizens
who feel an interest in the build
ing of good substantial roads
viii be present. There is not a
doubt as to the desires of our
people; there is not doubt that
a great majority are anxious for
the court to start the building of
roads that will stand the strain
of heavy traffic, the rains and
freezes. There is not a reason
!. why this important step should
longer be delayed, and if the
citizens who are interested in
this question of such vital i'm
portance to every section OF our
county, will quit their work for
one day, appear in Columbia, and
let the court know that they are
i'm hearty accord with this move
ment; that they are pleading for
it, and willing to bear the ex-
pense through a road tax, then
not a single member could hes
itate. People of the country
should act, and act at once.
Now is the time to aid in inaugu-
rating a system of road building
that will in a few years, reach
every part of our county with
roads worth many thousands of
dollars to our farmers. For sew
eral years this question has been
agitated, and good resolutions
i, and fond hopes have been blight
ed by Indifference on the part of
the people, and suppressed and
delayed by the M a gistra t e S
through fear of displeaSing the
people, and resting under CEN
sure and criticism of being ex-
travagant and reckless as to the
common welfare. That day has
passed. A new sentiment; a
new demand; new realization
of our resources and needs, and a
new set of men to grapple with
these new conditions are on the
scene of action, facing the same
mud holes and mires that wor-
ried the people 40 years ago.
Of all times in the entire history
of Adair county, the present is
the opportune time to start the
work, to institute a system that
will not die in year. but grow
stronger as it's benefits are seen
and realized by those heretofore
Indifferent.

: MORGAN DARE.

Morgan Dare sired by the celebrated
Chester Dare will make the season of
1907 at the stable of G. R. Cabell. J mile
north of Miami, Green county, KY, and
will serve mares at $40 to insure a
living colt.
Morgan Dare is dark
chestnut stallion. 16hands high, bred by
E. w. Mccormack, of Shelby county,
the owner of Chester Dare, and was
foaled in the Spring of 1902. He is a
horse of good style, fine bone and mus
Gle and has good disposition.
PEDIGREE Morgan Dare is by Ches-
ter Dare, 10; he by Black Squirrel, So;
Dam by Surprise, 1853; he by Boyd Win
chester and he by Green Mountain
Blackhawk. Dam of Surprise was sired
by Star Denmark, II and he by Gaines
Denmark, 81. Thus it will be seen that
Morgan Dare traces both through his
sire and dam to the greatest of the
Denmark and also through Boyd Win
chester and the Blackhawk to the foun
dation of the great Morgan family.
Chester Dare was one of the greatest
show horses and sire of fancy saddlers
this State has ever produced. Many of
his get having sold for prices of from
81, 900 to s3, 600.

A Rat With Brains.

While standing in a large wood
shed, one end of which he had parti-
toned off with narrow Stats as
fowl house, Mr.. x. heard a gnawing
noise, and looking about him saw
large brown rat darting away from
a dog biscuit lying on the floor of the
shed. He decided to remain quiet and
watch to see whether this thief would
return.
Presently he did, and slyly glancing
at Mr.. x. as If to say, Nov you let
me alone and I'll let you Alone" his
ratship began dragging the biscuit
over toward the Stat partition behind
which the fowls were clucking and
scratching. He reached the laths and
tried to drag the biscuit through them
after him. 1t would not pass, being
fat and broad.
After some vain struggles with 1t,
the rat vanished, to return with an
other. The newcomer he stationed in
side the fowl-house He himself came
out and seized the biscuit by one cor
ner. He then began fitting it up on
its side, and the adroit friend poked
his head through the Stats and steadied
it with him. In a few seconds the bis
cult was held between them ''up and
down" and between rat number ones
pushing without and rat number two's
pulling from within the barrier, the
prize was forced triumphantly through
the slats.4Watchman.

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE.
BY GEORGE J. JONES.

The fireless cookstoVe is not exact
ly a new thing, for its economies and
conVeniences have been known to the
people Of an out-of-the-way portion
of the German Empire. Only a year
or two ago some ladies of that ccun-
try had their attention attracted to
the fireless cooKstove, and they be-
came SO interested in it that an or
ganization was effected for the pur-
pose of making the women of the
country generally familiar with it..
In this manner one of the United
States representatives in Germany
heard of the scheme, and reported on
it. This attracted general attention
in this country, and the supply of
Government pamphlets was soon ex-
hausted.
The system is based on the fact
that perfectly insulated vessel con-
that the hay box be experimental
with by the Commisary Department.
This was done at Fort Riley, Kansas,
under the direction of Captain M. S.
Murray with the assistance of Latrobe
Bromwell, instructor of the school of
army cooks at that place. These ex-
periments were very successful, and
the scheme was heartily Endorsed. A
box suitable for army use has been
designed, and 1t is likely some great
changes in the conduct of the COM
pany kitchen are about to be made.
This method of food preparation
has been recently made available for
domestic use by the introduction of
the cooking cabinet. In the main
this is nothing more or less than a
well-constructed box of oak, thor
oughly insulated to keep in the heat.
1t is thirty-six inches long, fifteen
wide and seventeen deep. 1t is
equipped with three enamel vessels
of construction especially designed
for this character of work, having
covers which are clamped on to
further facilitate the retention of
the heat. The lids of these vessels
are held on by a revolving bar-lock
tanning meat or vegetables and a
proper supply of water will continue

What Gold VIII Ruv

A poor Mexican laborer who CHANGED
upon pay ore returned after his fortu-
nate find to the doorway of his miser-
able howell and sat down to enjoy at
leisure the prospect of riches. At first
he confided afterward to his old en-
ployer, his thoughts were hardly
thoughts at all; they were vague, de-
Hcious golden vision in which details
were ignored. After time,- however,
it occurred to him that he might as
well make up his mind definitely what
he would do with his money when he
got 1t.
He could decide upon but one thing,
but with that he was quite contented.
Screens in that region were unknown
and insects troublesome, but he had
heard of a remedy. He would apply 1t
freely where 1t was most needed.

to cook for long while after having
once been brought to the boiling
point. The operation of cooking pro-
ceeds just the same as if it were di-
rectly over the fire, except that it is
much slower.
This apparatus was known as the
hay box in Germany, and consisted
OF a crudely constructed box, which
was insulated in that it was lined
with some cloth or other material
which happened to be convenient and
then filled with hay. The article to
be cooked was placed over a fire for
a short time, a minute or two, and
then quickly transferred to the hay
box, where it was placed in a sort of
pocket made in the hay. Here the
cooking continued slowly without any
further application of heat or any at
tention.

You say the hog is slovenly. because
he wallows In the mire. Why, nothing
is more cleansing than mud bath.
The hog has taught the human race
its great value in the cure of numer-
Gus diseases. He wallows In the mud
to cool off and to get clear of certain
vermin. Mud is his disinfectant and
germicide as well as his insectide and
he is trying to be clean when he takes
his bath. Man through the medium OF
the pigsty has educated the hog in nasti-
ness. Give the hog a chance to be-
clean and he will abhor filth. The

and muck. Immaculate man is re-

from distillation washes, and the val.
liable corn oil as a by-product from

Maid of the bygone golden time,
Who taught me the wide world
splendor,
Whose soul was as pure
AS the stars are sure,
Whose faith was SO subtly tender
Though my heart rebels at the MOL anc
CRIME,
And frets at earth's niggard giving
Shall dare to say
Since you passed my way,
I doubt if life be worth hving?-
Maid of the moment, sweet and wise,
Whose will is in thrall to duty,
Whose scorn for the base
Shines forth from face
Alight with the inner beauty
Though my courage fail and / miss the
prize,
And my faults need much forgiving,
With your eyes on mine
Can / lie supine,
And ask If life be worth living?
Maid of the morrow, Spartan-bred,
Whose soul to the heights shall lead me.
Whose strength shall abide
Like the oceans tide,
Whose love in the desert shall feed me
Though my joys be few, when the years
are sped
And earth,s gifts are all past giving,
II have so much
As your lips light touch,
Still, still will life be worth living.
