Doubtful About His Customers.

Many years ago "Parson" Field
preached in Weston, Mass, and one
day when he stood in his doorway
waiting for the village bakers wagon,
OF which one John Macomber was the
driver, he noticed that the horse had
wandered into the graveyard, where
he was quietly eating. while his driver
gossiped with a neighbor.

FARMING IN

PEAVINE AS A MONEY CROP.
Will Pay Better Than Cotton On the
Same Grade Of Land.

l can make more clear money on
peavine hay than I can on cotton on
the same grade of land, writes b. F.
Hancock to the Southern Ruralist.
In the fall Of 1904 | took eight acres
of cornstalk land that only made
seven or eight bushels of corn per
acre., with $50 pounds of guano, and
sowed it in wheat, which only made
twenty-eight bushels on the eight
acres. Then l decided to try some
thing else.
/ turned the stubble under and
drilled in one bushel of speckled peas

Let about rhree-fourths of the pods be
ripe when o begin to cut. Do not
cut more at one time than you can

POINTERS FOR MIXERS.

Cows should be MIXED in a com.
Portable, clean, thoroughly drained
and well-lighted place.
Every time you abuse and brighten
a COW, you throw her milk and butter
machinery out of gear.
The value of a COW should be fixed
by the amount of fat there is in her
milk and what it costs to produce it.
The udder should be carefully
cleaned before commencing u milk
and the last drop of milk should be
drawn from the udder.
Heavy mixers are often rough
boned COWS with large frames, but
joints and i'll shapes are not essen
tial in the makeup of a good COW.
To allow a certain quantity Of food
to each COW in the herd alike may
result in an insufficient quantity for
some and too much food for others.
To realize the greatest profit, the
dairyman should have cows bred dis
tinctly for milk. To combine milk
and beef in one animal is a sure fail
ure for either or both.
II your cow has a sore teat, try to
get the sore SPOT in the palm OF your
hand. You will find that she will
make less fuss about the job of milk.

In buying a dairy COW look well to

be MIXED without constantly lifting

A LITTLE GEAR.

General Kaulbars-the man to
whom Kuropatkin charges the loss
of Mukden-is governor-general of
Odessa. A Russian governor-general
is little Car. Unless he is inter-
fered with from st. Petersburg he
does what he pleases; and often he
manages to do what he pleases in
spite Of this interference. During the
last month they have been killing
Jews of and on at Odessa, assault
ing Jewish women, strangling Jewish
babies. The Union of True Rus
SLAMS" has been at work, aided by
bands of Black Hundreds. General
Kaulbars has been more than sympa-
thetic with all these proceedings-so
sympathetic, in fact, that it finally
came to be believed in St. Petersburg
that he, as a high Russian official,
was back of the entire outbreak.
Thereupon the Russian premier, NJ.
Stolypin, called him down, saying that
he must check these disorders. Last
Thursday Kaulbars called a special

bill and stated that the authors of the
measure had attempted to use the
whole legislature of the settle local
controversy. He further based his
objections on the broader grounds that

men to serve them in a double capac-
ity as oficeholders they (the people,
should have the right to do so and
it was not the province of. the legis-
lature to take from them their rights
Representative Treat stated that one
of the best men in the city council
of Fargo would be legislated out Of
Office by the bill, and that he would
be loss to the city, and he would
therefore oppose the bill.
Representative Sorley of Grand
Forks in an insipid way supported the
bill by calling attention to the fact
that large number of states had
laws which prohibited persons from
holding Offices which conflicted and
stated that If this bill served that
purpose it should pass. Mr.. Sorley
was wary, however. and fought shy
of the merits of the bill, probably
realizing that he would likely be hit
with figurative brickbat before the
thing was done.
The fight in behalf of the bill was
made largely by Representative An
derson of Grand Forks, who made a
record which has never been made by
any other member of the legislature
in the history of the state. He had
the pleasure of having a member of
the house state on the floor that he
changed his position on the bill be-
cause of Anderson's speech. During
q talk in which he was defending the
matter, he stated that the moral con-
ditions in Bismarck were such that
the state should do something and
charged that there were thirty-five
blind pigs in the city. At the close of
his remarks Representative Stevens
arose and stated that in the early days
of the session he had seen the bill
and because at that time he believed
the bill was meritorious, he had prom
Used to support the same, but that
since hearing the speech of the junior
member from Grand Forks in favor
of the bill he (Streeter) considered
himself absolved from all obligations
to support the bill and he would there
fore vote against it.
Representative Mockler stated that
the bill was local in its applications
and that he believed the legislature of
the state would allow the people of
Bismarck to dispose of their contro-
versies themselves and not carry the
matter into the law making body.
Representative Casey stated that his
friends in Bismarck were largely
among those who favored the passage
of the bill and that if he was guided
by sentiment he would vote for the
bill. But he tried to look at the mat
ter from higher ground. Was it a
bill for which there was a general
demand throughout the state? If SO,
1t was meritorious and should pass.
But there seemed to be no general
demand for it, and at the same time

The county of Cavalier has 1851 and

will readily observe that there is no
great amount of difference in the

Gentlemen, the county Of Bottineau

low me again to impress it upon your
minds that the county of Bottineau
is entitled to two senatorial districts,
that the Mouse river divides this
county into almost equal parts, there
being seven sections more land upon
the eastern side of the river than upon
the west. Allow me also to suggest
to you that the same river almost
equally divides the people of this

river for fourteen upon the west side.

FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1907.

there is a drift in congress toward
the granting of independence to the
F'ilipinos on payment by them of our
expenditures in the islands" This
may be true, for nobody knows what
congressman will decide when he
begins to think; but it seems incred-
ible and, if correct, it means no end
of trouble. The testimony of every
body who knows the Philippines is
all one way-to the effect that those
people are absolutely unable to gov
ern themselves. If We should give
them independence" they could
never maintain it. They would begin
by cutting each others threats and
go on with their chaos until some
outside power, finding easily rea-
sonable excuse for interference, would
step in and conquer" those who had
offended it.
When the American people see Ma
Mia, great and commanding oriental
port of 100000 inhabitants, passing
into the possession OF some other
nation, and that nation developing a
large and profitable trade with the
East through that port and the other
Philippine connections, there will be
such indignation as will bring politi-
cal interment for those whose wis
dom has resulted in such an out
come
We have the Philippines and we
cannot let go. Some think our po-
sition is desirable and others think
it is unfortunate. Time will deter
mine that. But trying to get out now
would bring national humiliation and
most likely war beside, for nothing
is surer than that bloodshed would
follow our retirement from control
there. The many Americans out there
must be protected, and, as soon as
independence was proclaimed, they
would need protection; for one fac
ton of natives would open up against
another faction for control. Do we
care to leave this protecting to some
other nation? Does it comport with
national pride and prestige to teach
these islanders English, outfit them
for the first time in history with a
common language, and then leave
them to be looked after by people
who speak German, or French, or
Japanese?
The party that turns loose the
Philippines will itself be adrift when

THE NEW CANADA SUNDAY.

On today, March /, the new and
strict Sunday law of Canada goes into
effect. After that time it is unlawful
to sell any goods or chattels, or tran
sact any business, or engage in any
work or employment, or hire any per-
son to work on Sunday, with some
few exceptions. The proprietor of
livery stable or boathouse may hire
horses and carriages or boats for the
personal use Of the man who hires
them and his family. Work in con-
nection with the transit of passengers
and the mails, the operation of ferry
lines and drawbridges, the supplying
of gas, water and electricity, main
tenance of fires in power plants of
industrial enterprises and mines, car
ing for milk, cheese, live animals and
perishable products generally, and
the making of maple sugar are de-
clared not to be a violation of the
act. The maple sugar making on
Sunday had to be put in the except
ed classes because the good Lord will
ignore the Sunday laws of Canada and
other places by making the sap run
on Sunday as we'll as any other day,
and the thrift of the Canadian people
could hardly stand the spectacle of
this good gift of God going to waste
for lack of labor to empty the buck
cts and keep the sap pans boiling in
the sugar house.
There are other necessary works
exempted from the operation of the
law and provision made that still
others may be put into this class by
application to this government and
getting a permit if good cause is
shown. Another mitigating clause in
its severity is provision that no
prosecutions can be made under the
law without the consent Of the pro-
vincial attorney in the province
where the offense was committed, and
this is expected to make it a dead
letter in the province, of Quebec,
where the French Canadians have

In work on the preparation of the

cation before p. M, Sunday, will
be liable to prosecution. Any person
who brings into Canada or sells on
Sunday copies of foreign newspapers
may also be prosecuted. The sale or
distribution of domestic Sunday pa
pers seems likewise to be prohibited,
for, although not specifically ruled
out in the act, the subject is not re-
ferred to in the list of exemptions
