WE GOT THE TANSY.
(storm Lake Vidette.)

SStOrIn Like Rluelle.J
At various times we have inserted a
small inconspicuous ad in the Vidette
when we wanted something, and with
out fail, the ad has brought results.
Last week we advertised for tansy.
The papers were put in the Office
Thursday evening and at seven o'clock
Friday morning we had all we wanted
of 1t. So 1t has ever been. we can
therefore heartily recommend the vi
dette as an advertising medium. For
the past month we have hunted for
tansy, asked every one If they had any
or whether they knew of any, all with
out results and If we had not adver-
tised in the Vidette, we might still be
living in house that was threatened
entire destruction by an army Of small
ants. The little pests got into the
cupboards ate up the meats, wallowed
in the butter. became drowned In the
milk, took baths in the sauce, and for
recreation would creep up and down
ones spinal column when they were
least expected. But now with the
house thoroughly covered with tansy
they have taken marching orders and
we expect to live in peace and har-
mony once more.

race Of BIRDS Scientific examination of

rouse the people to the value OF the
dying birds.

Profit in Raising Geese.

In sizing up the whole poultry In
dustry. Commercial Poultry concludes
that geese come as near being an
profit as any stock raised on the farm.
They make their living largely on
grass and are practically self-support-
ing. They do not require a large
pasture field burt one that produces a
good yield Add little grain occa-
sionally and you will have no trouble
raising geese. They only require wat
err for drinking purposes, same as the
hen. They are louise and mice proof,
and are seldom subject to any kind OF
disease and hawks seldom prey upon
the young goslings. Some complain
that a goose is a nuisance; so are
hogs If they are not confined to their
pasture.

ANOTHER RISKY POLE HUNT.

Commander Robert e. Peary has his
polar expedition under way again, and
will make another effort to solve the
mysteries of the frigid zone. His ship,
the Roosevelt, has started on her way
to the north after stop at Oyster
Bay, where reception was rendered
to the president, who expressed his
rood wishes for the success of the ship
which bears his name, and those who
will endeavor to reach the top OF the
world,
The president appears to have been
greatly interested in the P.eary expedi-
fion. and no doubt his Partially to-
ward It's commander and the trip had
considerable to do with the explorers
success in eventually getting the last
$4,000 which was necessary to the
proper equipping Of the ship. The
naming of the craft in honor Of the
president is fair index Of the friendly
] feeling which Peary bears toward the
president.
Whether all agree on the expediency
ef pole hunting, there is hardly any
reasonable person but who will con-
cede the valor OF the dauntless Peary
| ia his persistent efforts to get to the
chilly summit Of this terrestrial sphere.
He appears to BE- the only man In this
decade who Is intent upon reaching the
north pole. Many other explorers have
come and have gone. Greeley, Nansen,
Andree ana others have made their
|sfiights upward, only to come back
thwarted In their purpose. save In the
case Of Andree, who tried to reach the
pole by q balloon and was never again
heard Of.
we are told that the expeditions In
search Of the northern extremity of
the globe are In the interests OF SCI
|sence. Science has had good many
martyrs In Its time, but It IS probably
: safe assertion that none Of them who
died in search Of knowledge ever sue
scumbed by more terrible. distressing
ana agonizing route than that Of freez-
ing and starving to death in q futile
hunt for the imaginary line which
marks the axis OF the earth.
Just what benefit will be conferred
on posterity by the negotiation Of a

never been demonstrated to the salts

the pole has been discovered could be
passed from mouth to mouth, that's
about all there could be to It. A de-
scriptIon Of It in the biographies would
probably inform. us Of q white field OF
lice Of impenetrable depth, q spot where
human beings could not live for long

could not thrive.

In return for the waving Of the olive

presented the nominee with crown of

Sweat Grain Before Threshins.
lMaxwell Tribune. }

Many leading agricultural experts
are advocating the plan of stacking
grain and allowing 1t to go thru the
sweat before threshing, instead Of
threshing from the shocks as has oeeh
the custom for many years. The prln-
cipal argument in favor of this plan
is the fact that the grain is In a con-

until he is ready to sell instead OF be-
ing forced to rush it to market as ne
must do when threshing from the
shock.
