Gas Wells

Westhope-Two more gas wells
have been discovered near here. Well
diggers seeking water on the McNea
and Parker farms near Westhope dis.
covered a strong flow Of gas on the
McNea farm, fourteen miles southwest
Of Westhope, and the mud and coal in
the drill was blown 80 feet in the air.
This, it is reported, is by far the
strongest pressure Of all the wells in
the vicinity and the well on the Parker
farm, two miles from Westhope, is as
good as the best discovered previous
ly. o. 8. Johnson, general manager
Of the Great Northern Gas and Pipe
Line company, who has been In Minot
several days, received a telephone
message telling Of the strike. He
hurried to Westhope where he will
make a thorough investigation. If the
wells prove as good as reported, the
company will endeavor to ecure a
lease on the property with a view to
developing It. About IL wells in all
have been discovered. All of these
were found by we'll diggers seeking
water. The Great Northern Gas and
Pipe Line company has machinery on
the ground for making extensive in
vestigations.

BABES BORN WITH TEETH.
Parents Believe Rare Gift Presages
Good Fortune for Family.

Massilon, Ozone minute after he
was born into this world, John Girard
Dolfen, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Dolfen, became famous. He opened
his little mouth to announce his ar
rival and thereupon it was discovered
that he had been born with a tooth.
1t was a full-developed thing that the
dentists call an inferior incisor.
John .Girard is only helping to hold
up the family reputation, established
when Beatrice, now seven; was born
having a well-developed molar. Then
there is Andrew, aged four, who had
two teeth when he entered the world.
One of these was a bright yellow and
was thought by his parents to be gold
until the family doctor declared it was
due to the presence of some pigment.
The Dolfens believe the presence Of
the tooth at birth presages some great
good fortune will some day befall the
family. Four other children were not
supplied with teeth until they were
months old.

WENT SOUTH.

aLa- 10y 1--h
Detective shippy, Of st. Louis, ar
rived here last Monday and identified
Frank L. Graham, one of the prisoners
detained at the county jail, as a man
who jumped his bail down at Salem,
Ill. The detective came out with the
sheriff, who went on to Bismarck to
secure extradition papers, and Graham
was taken south by them Tuesday.
Graham, whom the detective says
has already served two terms of six
years each in the p%enitentisry, was
held at Salem for the robbery of a
bank and was released on bail in the
sum Of eighteen hundred dollars. The
story is that he arranged with a bank
er to go his bail, paying him twenty
one hundred dollars, and that he flew
as soon as released. The banker, who
evidently had. original ideas as to the
proper treatment OF. bank robbers,
eventually paid the eighteen hundred
dollars bail.
It is also alleged that Graham had
killed a man while robbing a bank.
So far Graham's fellow prisoner,
j. W. Bell, seems to be ''friendless,' y
as NJ one seems to .,'recognize" him.

BATTLE WITH AN ELK

Bowbells-W. r. Blaine, living north
Of town, had a narrow escape from be-
ing killed by the attack Of an elk, real
elk. It seems that he saw the animal
at his straw stack, and not being sure
just what it was, he took a stroll out
that way, and on nearing the stack
1t came right at him and trampled
him to, the earth, after which a fierce
fight ensued. At last he succeeded in
freeing himself. and made his way to
the house to get his shotgun. When
he came back the elk had left, and he
took a horse and went in pursuit Of
the antlered monarch and found him
going across Jack Emerson's plowed
field. Again as Mr.. Blaine neared him
he made a fierce dash at the horse,
knocking him 20 feet, almost killing
the horse. The first two shots fired
took effect in the head, but did not
bring him down, and Mr.. Blaine fired
again, this time proving fatal. 1t
tipped the scales at 876 pounds and
measured II feet, 10 inches in length,
and stood about 5 feet high.

HITS and r

AS we see the big loads of wheat
coming into Grafton, drawn by pairs
of horses which look strong enough to
pull the siding off of the Plymouth
Rock, where the Pilgrims landed, we
are reminded of the difference between
North Dakota marketing and what we
saw in the south, while on an editorial
excursion a few years ago. An edi-
toral excursion is an excursion used
by editors once a year, when they put
on their best cloths, borrow a valise
of their neighbor and travel two or
three thousand miles, on t~ransporta-
ton, called a pass, which we under
stand has now gone out of print.
Quite a lot of fun can be gathered out
of a trip of this kind if you r not car
sick or broke. A days stop was made
at a southern city and our business
manager hired all of the race horses
and empty wagons in the town and we
galloped into the country to see the
joyous southern life as it really was,
free from barn paint or glorious sun
set scenes 50 often shown on railroad
folders or sitting room pictures. AS
we pushed along through the country
we looked out into the fields from both
sides of the road for the beautiful cot
ton picking scenes we had read about.
They were not at home the day we
were there. Little old tumbled down
houses and barns, the color of gray
dawn, with roofs caved in, was really
what we saw, only worse. Where are
the big fat COWS, and the sheep and
the lambs gamboling on the green?
Not in. Nor vas there any green
grass. The bright sunshine was also
absent; it was up in North Dakota

and stirring up the hens to lay q few
eggs behind the rafter in the hay NOV.
Now and then we would have to turn
out to allow a load to pass on its
weary way to market. The horse
came first. One old horse with a har-
ness that looked like the night gown
of a dead OK. An old rickety. wagon
followed the horse regretfully. It was
attached to him in a way, and really
had to keep along. The wagon was
half filled with wood, cut for the cook
stove with a saw and a cross
man, who followed with his head and
shoulders covered up with an old bee

Wheat Production And
Consumption.

With the great shortage in the wheat
crop of the world, with its resultant
high prices and speculative excitement,
bread eating nations are showing in
creased agitation over diminishing
supplies as compared with increasing
consumption.
1t is quite true that there is a steady
growth of population in excess Of
wheat production. In a season such
as this one has been, abnormal, with
short crops in nearly all the countries
of the northern hemisphere, more than
the usual consideration has been given
to this problem.
Last year the world produced a
record crop Wheat from the surplus
countries was pressing for sale, in the
international market. This year con-
ditions are reversed. The total worlds
production is about 400, 900: 900 bush
els under the record crop of a year
ago.
Statisticians have drawn attention to
the failure OF worlds stocks to in
crease at a normal rate this fall. In
the season there has been no assuring
accumulation of supplies. The month
to month changes have tended to in
tensify the agitation among importing
nations. An interesting comparative
study of supply changes the last three
years indicates that consumption this
season is greater than the movement.
The September available supply Of
wheat was Ii, 800, 900 bushels less than
for the corresponding period in 1900
and Is, 900, 600 bushels more than in
1905. The next month, November, the
changes showed that 1897 supplies were
under those of the previous year by
l8, 900, 900 bushels, while larger than
those of 1905 by I0,40O, 900 bushels.
The last month, present stocks had
fallen %, 600; 600 bushels under 1907
and were 6 5000, 900 bushels less than
in 1905.
Owing to the liberal carry-over from
the 1906 crop, the shortage SO far this
year has been more a statistical fear
than an actual pinch. The endsof the
season may tell q different story. The
%need of a liberal harvest in the south.
ern hemisphere and normal crops, al
least next season seems Imperative

Diversified farming is the next step
in the development of our state. Not
only the farmers success, but the
prosperity of every business and pro-
fession depends on proper husbandry.
The following list Of corn varieties
suitable to North Dakota conditions,
prepared by II. ]. Hughes, an advanc-
ed student at the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College, will be of wide inter-
est at this time of year when farmers
r securing seed and making plans
for the coming year. The dent var:e-
ties are listed in order of earliness,
as are also the flint varieties. The
earliest flint variety is a little earlier
than the earliest dent. The varieties
here given have been raised at the
Fargo Experiment Station, and some
of them along the northern boundary
of the state.
Dent:
~ North Dakota 100. Eight rowed,
deeply dented white kernel, cob white.
~ Golden Dent. Ear short, well
filed. Cob white, shank small. Ker.
mel small, deep, wedge shaped, rough,
dented. Color yellow.
(3) Minnesota King. Short ear OF
good type. Cob red, shank small,
kernel broad and flat, color mixed
white. and yellow, tending to flint,
Rows $40.
(4) Northwestern Dent. Well filled
red ear with white cob, shank rather
big, crowns of kernals rather yellow.
ish. Ear fair sized, rows regular.
(5) Pride of the North. Ear same
as in (4), cob red, shank small, kernel
yellow, wedge shaped. dented. Rows
many, slightly uneven
Flint:
() Squaw r. Ear small, kernels
many colored.
~ Willis Dakota. Cob white,
shank large, ear tapering, kernels
round, COWS regular.
(3) Jehu. Color light yellow with
white cob, large shank. Rows many
and irregular.
~ Mercer. Yellow OF rich shade.
Cob white, with large shank. Kerne,

(6) Longfellow. Same general type
as Triumph, save that ears are regu'
larly eight rowed, and the kernels are
broader. Longfellow and Triumph
are 9-I2 inches long, and may easil!
be taken the one for the other.
~ King Philip. Small red ear
Crowns tinged with yellow. Row!
8. Well shaped cob, large shank

Gloden Dent, Longfellow and Triumph
are among the best, judged by type Q

Amature ear of corn, adapted t.
our climate, is firm on the cob; rathe
small size, as viewed by the man iron

with tip we'll covered by kernels. A,
uncovered tip indicates a late matur
ing type of corn, as does also loose
ness on the cob. The cob should b
solid, and weigh about Is per cent o
the total weight of ear.

Alfalfa for Hogs.

AT the Kansas Experiment Station
hogs were fed on ration of alfalfa
hay and Kaffir corn meal. The gains
were 73 per cent more on this ration
than upon ration of Kaffir corn meal
alone. For every bushel of Kaffir corn
meal and 1888 pounds Of alfalfa hay,
the gain was 10SS pounds, while upon
Kaffir corn meal alone the gain was
7.4S pounds per bushel. 1t Is shown
that the hay gave better results when
cut early and that the chief nutriment
was in the leaves, which should be
carefully saved during the process of
harvesting. An earlier experiment at
the same station was tried to deter
mine the value of alfalfa pasture for
hogs The hogs were allowed to run
upon the alfalfa during the summer
and were fed light ration of grain.
After deducting the probable gain for
the corn 1t was found that during the
summer each acre Of alfalfa pasture
produced 776 pounds of pork.

The German Emperor is interesting
himself in the propagation of the Eng
lish language in Germany for CONNER
cal purposes. The business men of
Germany understand the advantage of
having in their foreign departments
clerks who understand English, even
when the other country with which
they deal uses another language. The
position of the United States and
Great Britain and dependencies in the
commerce of the world makes the
knowledge of English useful to all pro-
gressive merchants and manufacturers
Of other countries. This practical view
Of the modern language question differs
from the older academic view that a
language was to be studied for its lit
erature. The generation for which
Carlyle translated looked upon the Ger
mans as mystics, philosophers and
dreamers. The few Americans and
English who studied German did so in
order to read Goethe, and the few Ger
mans who studied English did 30 in or
der to read Shakespeare. At the pres
ent day study with such aims is left
to the same class Of people who would
formerly have studied Greek. Com
mercial Germany demands knowledge
of English for practical purposes. Great
Britain and the United States do not
show the same realization of the value
of knowledge Of foreign languages
In the business world The United
States has unique advantages In this
field which are not used. In this coun-
try there are thousands of native-born
children whose parents speak for
eign tongue If these children attend
the public schools they learn to read
and write in English, but they are
unable to use their mother tongue free
ly and correctly in correspondence with
one who claims it as his only language.
Too often they seem to be anxious to
forget the language Of their parents
as soon as possible. Children do not
appreciate the Importance Of their
cllnglng to the advantages which cir
cumstances have given them, but their
parents should do so, and those asso-
Citations Of business men which are
engaged In promoting the commerce Of
the United States ought to stimulate
the development Of body Of clerks
capable of carrying on correspondence
In two languages. Germans, Poles,
Hungarians, Italians, Scandinavians
and all the other nationalities of Eu-
rope are represented here, and one of
the most precious Of the possessions
they have brought from the old coun-
try is allowed to crumble into dust
Young men who are bright enough to
turn to account the situation in which
they find themselves with relation to
the worlds commerce are sure to reap
the reward.

Meat for Laxers

One Of the best foods for making
hens lay Is lean meat. When the sup
ply Of eggs fails, stop all other feeds
and feed lean meat or liver, and cheap
meats will answer, and 1t will be found
superior to anything else that can be
used. Green bone, containing large
proportion Of lean meat, is even better,
provided the fat portions are removed
from the bone.
1t will be found cheaper than grain,
because 1t will make eggs. One reason
why the hens fail to lay when they
have plenty Of grain Is that they re-
quire a change, and meat supplies the
needful. If the hens are fat, give one
ounce Of lean meat each day, allowing
no other food for week or two, and
watch the results.-Colmans Rural

EARLY Layers.

Frequently puliet starts laying BE-
fore the others and continues to lay
well all the year; such one should be
carefully watched and her eggs saved
providing sufficient size was attained
before she began laying. Other pull
let's will lay few eggs in the autumn
and then cease until spring; thesS
should, of course, be discarded. Those
that begin laying prematurely are moi
desirable, as they should attain the
size characteristic of their breed be
fore commencing, and then lay con
tinuously during the rest Of the fall and
winter.

Keep Corn Dry.

Experiments have shown that corr
which is thoroughly dry will not be in
jured by any degree of cold. This
while interesting, is not as comforting
as 1t would appear to be, for the rea.
son that some confusion may result in
deciding when corn is thoroughly dry
and further, corn once dry does no,
necessarily mean always dry. If left
subject to molsture-laden atmosphere
1t will very likely take up enough
moisture to render 1t liable to injury
from severe freezing.
