New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-02-20

An EXPERIMENT. farm UNDERTAKES
work varied in character. Even at the
substations various lines of work are
engaged in. Take, for instance, the
station at Grand Rapids. Experiments
are being conducted at the present
time in growing dairy cattle and pro-
ducing dairy products, in growing a
certain class of pork, wool, mutton
and poultry. These experiments also
relate to the maintenance of soil fer
tility and the growing of various kinds
of cereals. grasses, tubers and field
roots. All this is necessary, because
this substation is sustained to furnish
information to people in several large
counties. On demonstration farm
which represented only one county
the demonstration problems would
be much narrower, because of the less
varied conditions usually found in one
county. This farm would have to do
chiefly with the work best adapted to
the needs of that county, and SO might
bear chiefly on one line OF work. Take
Steele county, for instance, where dali
rying is so prevalent. The demonstra-
ton work on such farm would re-
late chiefly to the growing of suitable
foods for dairy cattle.
At the substation experiment farm
the tendency is in the direction OF III
creased outlay. Take the farm at
Grand Rapids, for instance. Should
experiments extensive in character be
undertaken in feeding sheep, an ex-
pert in sheep husbandry would be
necessity. If poultry experiments
were to become extensive, an expert
in poultry would be necessity.
Such work would also call for outlay
in providing suitable buildings in
which to conduct it. Considerable
outlay is inevitable. But on the
demonstration farm the only expert
labor absolutely necessary would be
that Of the one in charge. In Steele
4Ol oAlC idIuCIt VI
manager should be expert N matters
pertaining to the dairy.
The work done should be of a char
acter to show clearly the difference
between the good farming and that not
so good. Take, for instance, dem.
onstration farm located in Marshall
county. Put such farm in charge of
man who would keep it practically
clean of weeds, who would rotate
crops in a way that would maintain
fertility, who would drain it where it
needs drainage, and who would fence
the farm and properly adjust the live
stock kept to the needs ofthe same.
What a lesson such farm would pre-
sent to many of the farmers in that
county. What. a complete answer such
farm would furnish to the old-time
objection that clover could not be

grown there, if ) stand ofclover we're

grown there, if . stand of clover were
secured in successive fields with the
regular return Of the seasons. And
how quickly would the farmers begin
sowing peas if they saw swine fatten-
ing on peas in good form which they
were also harvesting while feeding
upon them.
The object sought should be to DEM
onstrate the farming most suited to
the conditions of that county. Whether
the farm paid its way or entailed g
reasonable amount of cost would be a
secondary consideration. A man
may become rich by farming and yet
may be veritable land robber. Min
nesota has had thousands of such.
They began with virgin soil, the rich
est in the world: they left it greatly
reduced and foul with weeds, and in
doing so they made large amounts Of
money. Their system of farming
called for the exercise of energy, not
skill, and it was the worst for the
country thatcould have been adopted.
The demonstr alton farm would show
how to grow good crops without inn
pairing fertility.
Another great advantage of the dem
onstration farm would be that it
would be accessible to the farmers
within the c0uuty. II would he VISIT
ed by hundreds of farmers who never
saw the state farm or even substa-
ton farm. They would visit it be-
cause it is near. Many farmers would
see this farm who never attend a
farmers institute or read farm
paper. Ocular demonstration with
such men is the most effective kind of
teaching.

more favored places. The result has

more favored places. The result has
been that many of the farmers, some
of them isolated and far away from
any source OF supply, failed to pro-
vide for the winter. The settlers are
dependent upon coal for fuel, which is
ordinarily quite cheap and the supply
inexhaustible, but this winter the
railroads have been unable to get
trains through on time. All freight
except that needed TO sustain life has
been sidetracked, and at times, even
in this city, there has not been a
pound of coal for sale at any price,
In smaller places it has been even
worse. At Davidson, near here, one
OF the hotels burned bacon for two
days, and most of the towns have had
to close their schools and shut down
the power plants. Farmers in many
sections have moved into one house
while they tore down new buildings
and burned them to keep from freezing.
They have also come as far as fifty
miles to this city for coal and have
had to go home with only 500 pounds.
This condition is due largely to the
habit some people have of taking
taking things as they come. That
they have been taught lesson this
year that will not soon be forgotten
is only too apparent. Another season
will uDdou btedly see them all supplied,
and fuel will be cheap in the cities.
There is also a shortage of vege-
tables. Potatoes which last fall could
not be sold for twenty-five cents are
now readily selling for $3.50 bushel
and frequently there is none to be
had. This is due to the fact that it
has been so cold that farmers could
not get them to town without having
them frozen.
While there is about three feet of
snow on the ground and it would eem
that people would hesitate about ven
turing into this part of the country,
there is nevertheless a brisk move
ment in real estate, both farm and city
property, and the dealers are conf
dent that the coming summer will be
the best they have ever experienced in
the way of.getting actual settlers here.
They are making preparations ac-
cordingly. Something over million
dollars worth Of new building is
planned for this city and as much
was undertaken last year. Every day
that has been at all propitious has
been taken advantage of by the con-
tractors, and fve-story building
| that was commenced IN November has
been completed, Notwithstanding the
cold. It has surprised me, the work
that has been accomplished under the
most difficult circumstances.

ways. It is so broad and limitless,

The Humble Grass.

Ex-senator Ingalls, wrote many
things descriptive of nature, out none
more beautiful than this: ssGrass is
the forgiveness of nature-he constant
benediction. Fields trampled with
battle, saturated with blood, torn with
the ruts of cannon, grow green again
with grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become
grass-grown, like rural lanes, and are
obliterated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass is.
immortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts OF winter, it withdraws into the
impregnable fortress of its subterra-
mean vitality and energies upon the
first solicitation of spring. Sown by
the winds, by wandering birds, pro-
pagated by the subtle horticulture of
the elements, which are its ministers
and servants, it softens the rude out
line Of the world. Its tenacious fbers
hold the earth IN its place, and pre-
vent its soluble components from wash
ing into the wasting sea. It invades
the solitude of deserts, climbs the in
accessible slopes and forbidden pin
nacles Of mountains, modifes climates
and determines the history, character
and destiny of nations. Unobtrusiye
and patient, it has immortal vigor and
aggression. Banished from the thor
oughfare and the field, it bides it's
time to return, and when vigilance is
relaxed or the dynasty has persisted it
silently resumes the threne from which
it has been expelled, but which it never
abdicates. 1t bears no blazonry or
splendor, but its Aomely hue is more
enchanting than the lily Or the rose. .

That evening. at the Savoy. Craig re.
lated to Carmen every event of the
day. and they were exceedingly happy,
knowing that justice had placed its
iron hands upon the murderers of Burr
Pendleton.
A week later Carmen received q tele-
gram from Mexico informing her that
IgnaciO Romero was dead. and subse-
Quently a letter came explaining that
he had committed suicide. He had
made some trivial excuse to borrow a
penknife from one Of the nurses and
with 1t had taken his own worthless
life. Under his pillow was found q
letter from New York, which told of
the arrest and undoubted conviction OF
his friends. Doubtless that was his
reason for the act.
A month later than that, while Craig
and Carmen were sitting ut the same
table where they had their first lunch
con together, he said to her:
"Carmelita, you know 1 told you once
that l was a sudden fellow, but do

morrow I must sail for Europe on i'm
portant business which cannot be post

not go in and get his knife. and he told

me tell, except about the faxed friend
of Bustamente.''

THE ANTARCTIC NIGHT.


u II Far More Trying Than the Arc
tic Darkness.
From this day (May ID we were not
| to see the sun again for two months.
At the beginning we did not dread the
prospect OF this long polar night before
us, but before the sun had been gone
many days one of us became very i'll.
Dance lacked the constitution to hold
out. and on June he died 1t is use
less to dwell on sad recollections. He
was loved on board the Belgica. and
this loss. following on the death OF the
sailor Wiencke, who was washed over
board by a wave in Bransfeld strait,
made a deep impression on us. In the
obscurity Of the midday twilight we
carried Dances body to a hole which
had been cut in the ice and committed
it to the deep. A bitter wind was blow
ing as with barred heads. each OF us
silent and sad, we left him there-and
the foe drifted on.
In the antarctic regions, thanks doubt
less to the detestable climate, the dis
astrous effects of the polar night are
far more marked than in the north
