Land Around Lake Bemidji Being Plated
and Sold Rapidly for Sites for
Summer Homes.
Lakeside, Lavinia, Bemidji Beach, Grand
Forks Bay and Chautauqua Beach =
Being Improved.

The present summer has been by
far the best in the history of Bemidji
in the matter of summer resort bust
ness and a number of people, who
have been visiting this city for the
purpose of taking an outing and
spending one to several weeks on
the shores of Lake Bemidji, have
been larger by far than any previous
year.
During the last two years three
different summer settlements have
been started on the shores of Lake
Bemidji. In addition to Grand
Forks Bay, which latter place was
started seven years ago, people of
Grand Forks, Fargo and other points
in the northwest have bought lots at
Lavinia, Lakeside and Bemidji
Beach and many elegant summer
homes have been erected. Some of
the finest residences have been
erected.
At Lavinia there have been a half
dozen new houses erected this
summer together with ice houses
and out buildings.
A. P. Chandler of Fargo, N. D.,
was the first to complete a residence
this year. He came here with his
family June 1 for the summer. He
owns a 22-foot launch and has been
enjoying life hughly up on the lake
shore.
DR.. J. D. Taylor, mayor of Grand
Forks, owns the largest and the
best house on the north shore of
the lake, the house being COM
pleted four weeks ago. The mayor
has been here occasionally and
his sister, Mrs. Van SICKLE and her
son were here almost all summer.
J. J. Opsahl, the original owner
of the land at Lavinia, has a fine
home, which is four years old, and
which he remodeled lately. He
owns canoe and a rowboat, which
carries Mr.. Opsahl and his family
from Lavinia to Bemidji
= T. B. Beaudette owns a neat
summer cottage at Lavinia.

and her children have been occupy

where he has also built new boat
house and COW shed and other
buildings. He has the launch,
Eagle" He has a thoroughly
up-to-date summer home.
Chautauqua Beach is a newly
plated portion of the ground on the
northwest shore of Lake Bemidji,
which gives promise of surprising
any of the other plated portions
on the lake, which are used for
summer resort purposes. The Beach
is sandy and the land is high and
dry, there being considerable of the
native timber still standing on the
land.
Chautauqua Beach is located in
an alcove of the lake which is pro-
tected from the winds and waves
and is very desirable place for a
summer home. The Chautauqua
Beach Association members have
made no special effort to dispose of
the lots i. on the Beach, although
there have been many inquiries as
to prices, terms, etc. Several lots
have already been purchased and
no doubt this property will be rap
idly taken up for new summer resi-
dences. =. s.
Grand Forks Bay is the Oldest
summer resort on the lake and is
plated on the lake shore on the
northeast portion of the city Of
Bemidji. This resort was built
some seven years ago by residents
from Grand Forks, N. D., and since
that time has been the home of
many Of the people from the west
ern towns during the summer months.
There are many splendid cottages
at Grand Forks Bay and the prop
erty IS considered very valuable.
Prof. Mortified, president of the
U. Of N. D. is the owner Of the very
best summer home on Lake Bemidii.
The building is Of modern design,
has massive stone chimney, wide
.porticos. etc, and is in every way
an ideal home.

Lakeside is the name of another
plated part of the lake shore which
is just north of Lavinia, where a
large of about 100 acrss has just
been laid out and placed in nice
conditions behind the cottages on

Two systems Of PAST urlzlno.

There are two systems Of pasteurlz.
ing milk in use at present-the inter
mitten or discontinuous system and
the continuous flow system. The DIFF
ference in the efficiency Of the two
systems. in which the milk or cream
is put into q closed machine and held
at the desired temperature for q given
time, has q decided advantage In the
efficiency of work done over the con.
tinuous system. The latter system
is used almost exclusively in large es.
adjustments where q great amount Of
milk Is handled. The reason for this
is probably that the cost Of pasteuriz-
ing large amount of milk or cream is
less when this system is used than II
would be II the intermittent system
were employed. But II the quantity
OF milk or cream handled Is not toe
large and a product with good keeping
qualities Is desired, the intermittent
Is undoubtedly the system to be en-
ployed.-E. c. Meyers.

FRAME EASILY PUT TOGETHER.
Necessary Article for Women Fond OF
Embroidery Work.

The choicest needlework is frame
embroidery. Fabrics are manufac-
tured under tension and in most cases
the result of this tension Is secured
by the last touches which they under
60 when stretched on tenter hooks.
To embroider successfully one should
have one of these frames, which can
be made by the woman who is deft
with her hands. When completed the
frame looks much like a miniature
curtain stretcher. The frame should
be made of hardwood laths. about an
inch wide. Holes are bored in each
end of each board, SO that the frame
can be made any desired size. An
iron or wooden peg can be slipped
into the holes to keep them in place.
When ready. for use make the frame
the desired size and then the fabric
Is ready to be corded around with
ordinary Irvine. The fabric should be
turned over the twine about half an
inch all around and the cord should
be sewed in with fine silk floss rather
than cotton, which is likely to cut
Sew the corners SO firmly that there is
no danger of their pulling out, as most
of the strain will come on the corners.
A large upholstery needle should be
used for lacing the article into the
frame. Commence in the middle Of
one side and lace in each direction,
putting the needle under the corded
edge and drawing the Irvine through
the distance of several yards. Then
lace the two opposite sides and tight
en- the cords. Lastly tightly lace the
fourth side.

MEcHLIN NET FOR YoKEs.
Largely Takes Place Of Laees Either
In Black or White.

There is wide use this summer Of q

of laces either in black or white. It is
also a good substitute for chiffon.

fine. Over the surface are scattered

1t is very wide and although 1t sells
at a good price, 1t cuts to such advan-
tage that 1t is quite reasonable In the
end.
Some of the new sleeves and yokes
made Of 1t are put in groups of tiny

lace laid over with the scallops turn

INDUCING FRUITFULNEss.
Judieious Pruning Will Increase the
Fruit Buds.

Horticulturists have for many years
practiced various methods to induce
fruitfulness and with some degree OF
success. All these methods, as grid
ling the trunk, root pruning and sum.
mer pruning of the branches tempo.
rarily check the growth Of the tree,
and the consequent slow growth In.
duces the formation of fruit buds.
says W. Paddock. It Is well known that
the buds which produce fruit In any
particular season were formed the
season before, and their formation is
believed to begin early in the grow
ing season. This being true, the time
Is now at hand for such work; II put
of much later in the season, 1t will be
Zoo late, as the time for the forma.
ton of fruit buds for next years CROP
will soon be passed.
BY root pruning Is meant that a
small portion Of the roots are cut off,
and the operation may be performed
with a spade or In any way which is
best suited to individual needs.
Summer pruning takes the place Of
the annual winter pruning, and Is the
same in most respects except that I:
Is done in June instead Of winter OF
early spring.
Girdling or ringing consists In re-
moving ring of bark from the trunk
or larger limbs. This ring is some
times two inches or more in width:
all the bark within this space is re-
moved, thus exposing the wood. This
method of checking growth, though
often employed, is rather drastic, and
should be used with caution. A more
rational method is to girdle the branch
or trunk by cutting through to the
wood by making one continuous cut
and not removing any Of the bark.
Some authorities state that the prop
er time to check the growth OF tree
In order to induce the formation Of
fruit buds is at the time when the
bark begins to set on the new growth.

Shorthorn calves In q pasture that had

Prof. Thomas Shaw. in Orange Judd
Farmer. I was. OF course. pleased to
learn that they had been raised sub
stantially on skim milk. They were
as large and thrifty as calves OF the
age usually are reared on the dams.
These calves were reared as follows:
They were given new milk until three
to four weeks old. They were then
changed to skim milk, taking about
three weeks to make the change from
all new milk to all skim milk. As
soon as the change was begun they
were given certain amount OF lin.

ground oil meal In boiling water and
adding as much as 10 necessary to the
milk. The amount to add 10 deter.

erts on the digestion.
Meal is added In the dry form. This
Is fed along with alfalmo meal. The
grain mixture is composed Of about
equal parts Of barley, oats and bran,
the two first named being ground.
They are literally fed of this food and
make good growth on It. They are
plentifully supplied with green food
at the same time. indoors or out.
The difference in the cost between
rearing calves thus and on the dams
Is very marked. Instead OF giving II
to the calves the milk of the dams
Is made into butter. They are kept
producing thus for nine or ten months
In the year. and they breed more reg.
ularly than cows not thus managed.
The calves have no check after being
weaned. as they sometimes have when
reared on the dams.
