: The Importance of considering the
lplant on which the seed selected for
/ growing the next crop is not as a gen
eral thing considered rs it should be.
Two rows Of corn, planted by an ex-
pertinent station in trial plots had
nearly half of the stalks down on the
ground. two other rows had only three
or four per cent so down.. Yet III seed
were picked from the wagon at husk-
ing time there would be many ears Sc
lected from the former sort of talks as
undesirable as they are. Potatoes from
q plant that has produced a number of
large, smooth tubers will be much more
desirable for planting than even better
specimens from plants that produced
only one good potato and a number OF
small or rough ones To tell anything
about these things the seed must be Sc
lected 1.%n the field. We would much
rather plant the small potatoes from a
productive plant than the large ones
from plants that did not produce but
the one large smooth tuber-
AS "A man Is of little consequence in
the world without at least a reasonably
good physical being so the plant Is Of
little consequence that is not strong
and hardy. The "a may by great at
tention TO avoid unfavorable conditions
accomplish something OF good, but the
plant cannot be protected from the va
riations of the weather to the same ex-
tent that many may care fer himself
Pick out suitable ears, grown on the
proper sort of stalks, dry out well and
keep dry or put where they will not
freeze severely, or better both dry and
keep from very great cold and the time
spent will do much to prevent the poor
stand that Is now being husked. The
loss in the corn crop Of 1907 from
planting ordinarily good seed would
pay many lime the cost of having had
strictly good seed corn. We dc not for
get that the seed planted last spring
had unusual griefs to stand, but strict
ly good seed would have stood them
much better than what was generally
planted.

TIMBER EoR SHELTER.

Did YOU ever hear q man regret that
he planted a grove or a shelter belt
twenty or more years ago? Have you
heard Others say: IF had planted
trees there" and pointing out some
particular place, 'whrn / first came
here what a great advantage it would
be to the farm now" or words of that
purport? Time is short looking back
wards and If you are thinking of plant
ing some trees do not allow the idea
OF time TO prevent. The shelter of a
grove in our colder climates is great.
Northern Iowa or similar attitudes will
be more comfortable on a cold winter
day behind a well grown windbreak
than a hundred miles south without
shelter. We will never forget one event
full old stormy day in southern Mime
sofa, many years ago, when facing a
northwest wind We were approaching a
set of well put up farm buildings. Half
a mile or more away we could see the
cattle standing in apparent comfort
and we wondered. but suddenly there
was a change, our horses had cantered
into the protection of a timber claim
grove and 1t seemed that the mercury
had risen 40 degrees In a minute.
Cattle and horses were nibbling at
the straw stack, their owner was work
ing round with apparent comfort and
even L got warm In the pleasant sur
roundings. That state Is ahead OF Iowa
In the way of shelter belts and on that
account the rigors OF winter are less
felt than further south. The timber
countries are pleasanter in winter than
the p~rairies n corn was grown much
more satisfactorily in the big woods
country than In more sC-thern ATTITUDES
where timber was unknown.
With these thoughts In mind let US
nave more shelter belts planted. Trees
are a great help in the dry winds
country as they will modify the effect
OF those crop destroying freaks of ma
ture. In n Of our dry years the only
fields OF corn that produced any appre-
ciable crop were those on the north side
OF the hills or north of a shelter belt
OF trees. We see these things when
the winds. either hot or cold. blow. but
as trees cannot be planted then all Is
forgotten about them when planting
time comes. Trees sap the soil, moth
Ing can be raised near them" True,
but a field with a shelter belt will prob
ably In a series of years produce more
than one without.
Shelter for the buildings is even more
important. A few rows of evergreens
will add MANI dollars to the farm ten
or twenty years hence il planted next
spring and properly cared for. A few
years only Is required before they will
need no attention further than keeping
the stock away from them, and their
usefulness has begun. Does any one
Soubt the advantage OF a grove for
shelter? If SO let him get out in a wind
where 1t has d fair sweep and stand
still a while then get behind a grove
and compare the differences. Broken,
billy countries do not need the trees
as do more level sections of country,
but in the latter that are "a thing of
beauty and joy forever" Stock gets
out of the winds behind hills and barns
are put in protected places where the
face of the country will so admit.
Aye, plant a tree, Jock, it Will be
growing while ye're sleepin'."

SIZE UP o U COWS.


Iowa dairy farmers win have to sell
off nearly so per cent. of their cows
before they put their business on a
profitable basis. 1t is a notorious fact
that nearly half of the cows In Iowa.
which are being MIXED this winter. will
lose money for their owners. Still we
venture hat the majority of these cows
will be fed the fat OF the land. and bob
up in the dairy herds again next spring.
L can't understand why will
stick to these cows year after year..
when they are losing on them every
week they are MIXED. Will ii not q

own bottom, n 1t will surprise you
how some OF them will fall down. In
stead OF pouring your feed into twenty
COWS, better select out five OF h
money-makers and sell the others. You
will cut down our help expense and
have a big lot of grain left next spring.

rough tor any team to travel over. In
places piled up in a sharp ridge, and In
others the earth drawn from the two
sides not meeting in the center Of he
road. Often the bitches are not deep
enough to drain the surface water from
the road. All this will be accounted for
by the operators on account of lack of
time to do a proper job. yet not one OF
the men doing this work would tolerats
such a half done piece of work on their
own farms.

Start for Calgary Soon.

A cry for wives comes from the
French settlers in the Ca
madam northwest territories A Ro-
man Catholic clergyman in Alberta
is contemplating trying scheme
suggested to him by the disconsolate
bachelors of his parish for supply
ing them with wives.
Women, except squaws, are scarce
in the Canadian territories, and there
is an absolute absence of young mar
riageable women of the same race
and religion MS the struggling set
tiers who have gone out there from
the French parishes of the province
of Quebec.
Tie priests arc anxious to see them
married to wives of their own ma
tionality and faith, so as to encourage
the growth in the northwest of q
French speaking and Roman Cath
olic population.
Judging from the wonderful in
crease Of the French Canadian ma
ton to the province of Quebec, ths
supplying of wives and mothers tc
the northwest settlers is all that Is
necessary for the establishment OF
an equally populous settlement on the
western prairies, says the New York
Sun.
The northwest settlers are only toe
anxious to fall in with the desires Of
their priests in the matter of mar
riage. The lack OF marriageable wo'
men In the northwest territories car
not be obviated by any efforts 81 theil
own. They can not afford the time
even to pay a visit to the province
OF Quebec to select wives for them
selves.
But they are prepared to do so tc
a certain extent, by proxy. Provided
sufficiently large assortment II
brought to their doors to afford then
some little chance for selection, the!
are prepared to depute their priests
to do the rest. The scheme has beer
discussed in the French Canadian
newspapers and the first party O.
candidates for matrimony will prob
ably leave for Calgary in a few weeks
The apparent novelty of thu
scheme has drawn down upon It {
large amount of ridicule. Those who
are encouraging 1t argue that 1t no
only does not SAVIOR of any impropri
ETY., but also that even the charge
of novelty can not be brought agains
it. They point out that similar cours'
was followed in France for supply
Ing wives to the earliest settlers IL

IiuuOr to Indians.

Robert Pratt, saloonkeeper of
Culdesac, and Martin Carlson. his
bartender, were arrested at Cuidesac
Monday afternoon on the charge OF
selling liquor to Indians. The arrest
was made under the old state law en-
acted in 1877, making 1t a misde-
meanor to sell liquor to Indians. IN
til the decision in the Dick case sew
.eral months ago by the U. s. circuit
court of appeals, which reversed the
decision of guilty in that case rem
dercd by Judge Bcatty's court, all
coses of this character have been
prosecuted under the federal law and
the state law has never been invoked
in such cases.
There is considerable speculation
among the legal profession as to the
outcome of this case as II will be a
test as to the constltutionality of the
old state law.-Lewiston Tribune.

court here by Timothy F. Burke,
United States attorney for Wyoming,
against the Diamond Coal and Coke
company, a Utah corporation opor-

The first is suit in equity for the
restoration of 1860 acres of coal
lands in Uinta county, alleged to have
been fraudulently secured by the
company, a reasonable price for the
coal mined on these lands and ask

company from continuing to mine
coal on such lands.
