BOARDOf PUBLIC WORKS
Met Saturday Night to Hear
Objections to Broadway
and First st. Paving

An open meeting Of the board OF
public works was held last Saturday
evening. all members beng present,
which was for the hearing OF any
objections that might be offered by
the property owners interested rela-
tive to the re-assessment of the Broad
way and First street paving. The
property owners interested, who were
present, were asked if they had any
objections to the First street paving.
No objection was made. The only
objection offered was that of Henning
Landau, which was filed by Attorney
A. P. Blanchard. The objection to
the re- assessment. Of the Broadway
paving was made on the grounds that
the board Of public works did not have
jurisdiction, and that the owners of
abutting property to the Broadway
paving should not be the only ones to
be taxed for this improvement, as the
whole city was benefited, and that
therefore it should be paid by general
taxation. A second set OF objections
were also filed by Mr.. Blanchard for
his client, which cites other reasons
for the re-assessment being wrong
The matter was taken under con-
sideration by the board of public
works and an adjournment was taken
TO January II.

field. Through this and the growing
of clover the soil of the farm Is becom-
ing richer soil each year. Not only
on the experiment farm but Throughout
northeastern Minnesota the farmers
who are practlcing crop rotation
growing clover alternately on all the
fields of the farm, and manuring each
field every three or four years are
securing equally good results.
That da'rying Is to be the system of
farming for northeastern Minnesota is
coming to be generally accepted. It
IS the dairy farmer who is now pros
pering most. The farmer who grows
clover and feeds 1t OH the farm, and
who feeds it to the most productive of
all ANIMALS, the dairy cow
To increase the number of cows in
northeastern Minnesota, and to in
crease the acreage and cultivation so
that feed may be grown for them is
the most important agricultural SUBJ
ject we have to consider .. ...
Fifty farmers III any community
with 10 cows each can afford a
creamery. With a production of 200
pounds OF butter to the COW per year
at % cents per pound, would mean an
income to that community of $50. 600 a
year. This for butter alone.
The ways and means Of this industry
is worthy OF consideration. 1t is only
through consideration and study that
it may be brought about

That the practice. to which the local
high school baske: bal! team had been
subjected, counted, was clearly shown
last Friday night, when they met and
defeated the Staples quint 10y the score
Of q to 10. The game was theirs
from the start, getting basket after
basket through their superior know
ledge OF the game. Team work
characterized the local quint play
ing, and all it's members showed up in
good shape Drosky at center had
everything his way with his man. and
Butler and Meyers. forwards, seemed
to find little difficulty in securing
baskets. Deidrich and Dunphy did
excellent work at guards, the former
preventing his man from getting a
single basket, and the latter allowing
his opponent minimum of baskets.
The Staples team scored mostly on
free throws by Peterson, who showed
great accuracy in throwing these. His
work throughout was good, as was
also that of the Staples center The
number of foul counted against the
home team, gave the visiting team q
chance to appear to better advantage
than would have been otherwise "
Roberts went in at center for the
local high in the last half, relieving
Drosky during the last ten minutes of
playing. His playing in the. main
was good. ~"
A dance was given for the visitors
IN the local high school after the
game.

The Results of the Year in
Agriculture, by A.
J. Mcclure

With the conclusion of 1908 we NAV
look back over he results of the year,
and from its experience shape more
wisely the work of the coming year
The state farm, as it is called by
the neighbors, has prospered, and 1T
Is hoped that every farmer IN North
eastern Minnesota has gained some
good in the way of a better farm, a
more comfortable home, and greater
knowledge and respect for his employ
ment.
While northeastern Minnesota has
not had as great an increase in settle
ment the past year as It's needs
demand, there have been develope-
ments that are most encouraging for
the famrer. The e1tention OF rail-
roads, the numerous new mining
towns all calling for farm produce,
and most OF all the interest IN the
development OF agriculture that is
being; shown by every one. from the
homesteader to even the mining
engineer. More farmers and better
farming for nol theasten Minnesota ,
has come to be the watch word. Pass
it along till this section of our fair
state is contri buting it's rich share to
agriculture. iii there IS farmer
one very eighty acres OF LAM. Till
every swamp is drained and every
needed road is built Till every
farmer realizes that farming is bust
ness, and requires sytem. and study an
cooperation with his fellow farmers,
for success, even more than the bust
ness Of the man who lives in town.
The work OF the experiment farm
during the past year has been along
the same line as described in former
bulletin. A system of practical
farming with dairylng as the founda-
ton. The attenuation OF clover with
grain and cultivated crops Selling
only finished products: butter, meat.
eggs, potatoes, vegetables and small
fruits. The gram, hay, fodder, corn
and roots are fed on the farm, and the
fertility which they contain is largely
returned to the soil in manure. 400
loads OF stable manure was hauled out
during the year and applied to the

THE BARN DANCE.

An exchange says that the following
is the correct formula for dancing the
barn dance. which is said to be the
latest craze among the trippers of the
light fantastic toe:
Put yonr arm gracefully around the
girl. make noise like a COW, and
take three steps toward the water
trough. Then eat small amount of
bran mixed with couple of hops and
a bale of hay. walk as nearly like a
chicken as possible; turn a hand
spring, kick like a balky horse,
and smile as If you had eaten a barrel
Of stockfood. Seat your partner and
take another.

Attorney General Wickersham in
addition to sending the original cop

the original commissions to Heney
from Roosevelt, instructed the Uni

Heney's friends declare that the
prompt and wholesale response to the
request of the defendant in the
criminal prosecution creates the fear
that the federal government is no
longer back of the graft fights waged
