Tree planting and tree culture will

NEW FLAX A WONDER.

Flax that will yield from 20 to Is
per cent more flaxseed an acre than
the common variety has been devel-
oped at the Minnesota experiment
station. 1t has been tried with uni
form success for two years, it is un-
hesitatingly recommended to the
farmers Of the state. The new variety
is known as No. rs. ....-
In 1905 seed was distributed among
forty-eight farmers in various parts
of the state, and these repo1 ted an
average increase in the yield of 26
per cent. The experiments in 1906
showed that it was 20 per cent
better as yielder than the common
flax. There are now several thou
sands of bushels of the new flax avail
able for seed.

FARM TELEPHONES.

The telephone has recently been
put into the farm home. It is no
uncommon thing to see the wires and
telephone poles all through the
country. This privilege, along with
the rural free delivery of mail, has
done considerable to make country
life more enjoyable, We are sorry to
say, though, that many people abuse
the telephone. In the country the
party line is used to very great ex-
tent, and we find many people listen
ing to rings other than those for
them. This is decidedly small work,
and no one who has any principle
will indulge in it. It is always done
with the thought that one will not
be found out, but as matter of fact
those people are always found out.
It cannot be INDUCED in to any great
extent without discovery. I hold
that people who do this should not
be allowed to have a phone in their
residences. They abuse the privilege
and it should be denied them. Fer
tile Journal.

Not Swamp Lands,

Duluth-Claiming that the so-called
swamp lands taken over by the state
at the government land opening last
fall are not swamp lands, twelve set
tiers have filed contests against the
land in the local land office. About
1850 acres are involved. The state au-
thorities have been notified and will
be given sixty days in which to give
notice if they desire a hearing. The
land opened last November is located
near Beaver Bay, in what is known as
township 81, range 9; township 58
range 9, and township 81, range TO-
There was a considerable rush at the
land office at the time of the opening,
Under the ruling on which the cases
are brought UP the settler going on the
lands previous to the survey shall be
allowed to enter these lands in the
United States land Office, provided he
shall do so in good faith and shall have
retained his residence there since, SUBJ
ject to the swamp land act The no.
tice Of contest must be accompanied
by an affidavit from two witnesses,
stating that the lands are high and dry,
aot subject to periodical floods and
that it Is good agricultural land.
Cruisers probably will be sent out by
the state to investigate the land in
question and if they report that it is
fit for agricultural purposes the cases
probably will be allowed to go by de-
fault.

Not Legally Dead.


W1nona-An old murder mystery is
recalled by the action begun in the pro-
oate court of this county to declare
Charles FarnholZ legally dead.
It was in May, 1899, that Mr. Farm
nolz left his home near Lewiston to
visit for a couple Of weeks with rela-
tives near Fountain City. He left word
with neighbors to look after his stock
until he returned. Two or three
months later the neighbors wondered
why he had not returned and wrote to
lis relatives at Fountain City for in
formation. They replied that they had
1ot seen him and supposed that he was
hat some time. after he had left his
arm the nude body Of a man, with
The face cut off, had been found in a
marsh near Fountain City.
The man evidently had been mur-
lereG and every means Of his identi-
ication removed. The friends and
relatives of Tarnholz then believed til
he murdered man was he and that h
1ad been murdered across the rive:
rom Winona for the little money he
1ad on his person. But the mystery
was never cleared. AS nothing since
aas been heard Of him, his relatives
aoW have made application to the pro-
oate court for the appointment of a
guardian for his son, which action will
lave the effect Of declaring the father
.egally dead.

START YOUR TOMATO PLANT.
Now is the right time to house
plant your tomato seed. The best
way to do this is to select good large
seeds and place them two inches
apart. When large enough wet down
the soil, cut out the plants and re-
plant in a larger box four inches
a part. Two dozen plants is about
all one wants for their own use and
by following the above directions you
will get good results for your extra
trouble. Same with cabbage.
