Alfalfa Fattens Hogs-N. Flagler
In Vim bledon News: Thomas L.
Casey of Litchville, Barnes county,
former, banker and real estate man,
told me last week that he was rails
ing hogs and making them just as
fat as the market demanded on alfal-
ia hay-noJhjng else. He AYERS that
it is more profitable than banking.
He ploughs land that is free from
pigeon grass, eight inches deep and
sows the alfalfa. cuts and. cures it at
the proper time and feeds 1t to his
hogs all winter,
He is keeping As or so brood sows
this winter and. says he has to be
careful not to feed all they can eat
as they become too fat. We are only
about 36 miles north of his place and
there should be no reason why alfalfa
will not grow here. The life of the
average farmer in the vicinity IF
Wimbledon. win never be all sunshine
until we get crop to ..market some
time in the spring or early summer.
Some of US cannot raise reasonably
good grain crop any season. Why
not start the year 1908 on li6tle
different plan?'

Bolley of.the Agricultural college at
Fargo. The bulletin Is No. rs. This
publication tells what kind of chem
icals is needed for certain weeds and
the types of spraying apparatus and
machines which are essential for
effective work. The first expert
ments in this work ..were started at
the A. Gin 1896 which were.per-
t1aps the first experiments of the
kind ever conducted. in any country
ana since that time the work has
progressed-rapidly.
In this bulletin, Prof. Bolley says
that chemical sprays have been found
very effective In killing all kinds of
weeds 10 cereal fields without injur-
ing the growing grain and predicts a
great future for this method of de-
str0ying:the bothersome plants. The
experiments have been thorough and
may be considered as conclusive as to
the practica bility Of. such method.

Gladstone Hotel improvements
G. A. klaus has had the dining room
redecorated, the color being light
and dark shades of green. The design
Is in panels, surrounden by gold
tinted scroll work and dark .green
borders. A large ornamental electric
side light chandelier will be placed
at the north end of the room. In the
Office the dark ssred wall decorations
have been retouched. In the kitchen
one OF the latest inventions for wash
ing dishes has just been placed In
position. 1t is the Garis-Cochrane
distwasher, the patentee- of which is
Mrs. j. Garis. The machine is run
by a two horse electric motor. Dishes
in Wooden racks are placed inside
large sheet iron tank and hot water
prepared with soap is sprayed on
them in great abundance, the water
being directed from the top, side
and bottom thoroughly cleansing
each dish. This water is pumped
from the smaller tank..at the bottom
OF the machine and thrown from
pipes. against the dishes with force.
The dishes are not moved or rotated
and being kept stationary In trays
and not touching each other the loss
from breakage is very light. After
the soapy wafer has been sufficiently
used on the dishes, a douche of hot
clear water Is forced against them
from the top of the tank, sterilizing
them. The dishes are removed and
on exposure to cool air dry immedt-
ately and present a highly polished
appearance. No ~iping of dishes is
required, only inspection afterwards.
Occasionally some dish is not entire
ly cleaned and they are replaced In
the machine and given another
treatment. The machine cost over
a4OO and is the --latest invention to
save hotels expense and time of
washing dishes. A less number of
dishes can be used, and the item of
saving. in breakage is considerable.
One person can manipulate the ma
chine, two girls operating it easily.
The solid particles .of food cleaned,
from the dished are..screened through
the water and do not come in con-
tract with the dishes again. A spe-
cial dish cleaner is..also on the large
table in front of the--machine and all
scraps are placed in barrel beneath
the table.
The kitchen of the hotel will also
be repainted white in two coats ad-
ding to 1.-The cheerful and cleanly ap-
pearance of the room, where Chef
Little is "monarch of all he sur
veys."
The hotel is accommodating a
large supply of poultry which is be-
ing placed in cold storage, the scar

being one reason for farmers bring
ing the poultry into market.

SUPREME COURT
Decides a Case From Foster Co. OF
Unusual Interest. Wifs's Home:
stead Rights In Land.

The state supreme court has de-
cided the case OF Geo.. Ferris against
Anton Jensen ct al which was an
action to compel reconveyance by
Jensen, of half section of land in
Foster county. Jensen held a deed
to the Land which Ferris claimed
vas given as mortgage to secure "a
debt of ..about s25o0.-- The land was
worth about $4,000, at the time and
Jensen had conveyed it to other par
ties who knew nothing OF the tran
saction between Jensen and Ferris.
The district court gave a judgment
for Jensen in. the amount of s2200,
the difference between the value Of
the land and the sum secured by the
conveyance to Jensen. This judg-
ment is reversed by the supreme
court which holds there was an abso-
/ lutte sale of the premises by Ferris to
Jensen and that Jensen was entitled
to afterwards convey the land. In
this case the court holds that the
wife's homestead rights in land
under which the husband has merely
an equitable execotary contract Tor
the purchase. thereof are no greater
than. and are dependant on the rights
OF the husband under the contract.
II the husbands equitable estate be-
comes forfeited, or otherwise extin-
guished the homestead right is also
extinguished. The plaintiffs, Ferris
and wife farmed the land for several
years but. failed to:comply with the
contract in any material respect.
The husband negotiated the sale Of
his equity to the defendant without
the wife joining. In the supreme
court trial, Lowden ana Ellsworth
were for appellant and Parks g. Ols-
berg for respondents.
