where littIe stoCA = - 1ere
grain has been raised continually for
wears and little attention paid to the
soil it is sometimes necessary to apply
phosphorus and potassium In the form
Of commercial fertilizers.
In the eastern part of this country
there are many farms that have be-
come so badly run down that crops
will not grow ut all unless they are
fed with commercial fertilizers. These
are very expensive, and 1t often takes
nearly all farmer makes to pay his
fertilizer bills. These farms would
never have become SO worn out II they
had been properly cared for. Leaving
plowed ground. especially on hillsides.
exposed for several months during the
fall and winter allows much plant food
to wash away. Growing the same
crop year after year wears out the
land rapidly. Different crops require
different kinds Of food. BY changing
crops from year to year no one food
material l. used to excess and the
others wasted. BY Keeping as much
stock on the farm as possible, saving
the manure carefully and spreading it
on the fields before II rots or teaches
away and by using leguminous plants
to gather nitrogen the soil can be kept
we'll supplied with plant food.
II Is much more profitable to feed
the crops In this way than to buy
plant food on the market at excessive
prices. Usually. however. the plant is
! hungry for the mineral elements not
because they are not In the SOIL but
because they are in n form In which
1t cannot get at them. The roots of
the plant spread all through the soil
in search of food. II you will look at
Il little root through magnifying
| glass you VIII see that 1t Is covered
with root hairs. 1t Is through these
root hairs that the plant takes up food
| from the soil. There are no openings
directly into them. but the walls are
so thin that the water can soak
through to the inside. Solid sub
stances, OF course. cannot get In. so
that the plant food must be dissolved
In water before 1t can get into the
roots and so up to the chlorophyll,
which is waiting to build 1t into seeds
or leaves.

a Hoer Union In south Africa.


\ recent news dispatch announced
a British surrender to the Beers in
South Africa. although not in the
frank terms here given. The people Of
the colony of Natal voted by Il three
fourths majority to join the union Of
South Africa. This is the political eli
max to Majuba Hill, where the Boer
arms triumped twenty eight years ago.
and reverses the military victories of
Lord Roberts seven years ago. The
fortunes ana future of the rich terri
tory which has been the scene OF SO
much fighting are to be controlled by
the very element which lost in the
armed struggles for supremacy ut
Lady and Paardeburg.
Three of the four colonies forming
the new union have long been under
Bocr control. and the federation has
been effected on n basis which dis
eliminates against the British popula-
ton in favor Of the Beers. The British
prcdominate in Natal. yet they volun-
tarily face that discrimination in order
to become a part of Il great sci. gov
erning province Thus in seven years
the conquered Beers have acquired au-
th9Iity over their own affairs and in Il
vital degree over the affairs Of their
conquerorS.

more convenient houses in America
than in England The matter Of wa

We can help the soil to become
warm in the spring, then. by doing all
that we can to check evaporation. Did
you ever notice how quickly the sur
face of a wet field became dry after 1t
had been narrowed? This is because
stirring and loosening the soil stops
the water from coming up from be-
low. The water in the loose upper
layer soon evaporates. and after that
the. heat is used in warming the soil
instead of turning the water into va
por OF course II we are not going to
allow the surplus water to be given OF
by evaporation we must provide tile
drains and bitches to carry 1t away.
We shall study more about drainage
and the movement Of water through
the soil III another article.

Peop1e's Institutes.

The recent commencement exercises
at Cooper Union, New York. marked
the completion of the first half century
Of that useful institution. Cooper
Union was not the pioneer in teaching
useful arts to prospective wage earn
crS practically free of cost. Spring
Garden institute in Philadelphia had
been in the field several years when
Peter Cooper founded the New York
school in 1919. Numerous schools sim
liar in character have since been cstab-
liShcd in all the great cities, but the
career of Cooper Union has not been
intcrfercd with. 1t opened with 1000
students. and over 5000 We're admitted
for 1909. while the new applications
for the year numbered over 5000.
The training at popular institutes
like Cooper Union bears directly upon
the condition and needs of the student
. This may account for the fact that
they escape the criticism which falls
upon the colleges. Students who enter
these classes are of the type found
working their way through the literary
colleges They are born workers seek
ing better tools. The atmosphere OF
! the institutes encourages class work to
/ the exclusion of everything else. The
/ students meet only in the class room.

and they retain to the end the ideals
and ambition with which they set out.
! The Cooper Union school has been a
success from the start, and. although
! its plan of work is essentially the same
now that it was in 1919, it is abreast of
the times. Peter Cooper saw into the
future.

to speak a word Of cheer. Early IN
the year Brother Witham succumbed
to The disease that for several years
had incapacitated him. His death
was severe blow to his family.
Only those who have had similar ex-
perlences know what it means to lose
a father or a husband. By those of
us who knew him most intimately
his memory will be long cherished.
Sister Witham is now making her
home with the son in Minot.
In conclusion, there have been
many times during the year when I
have asked myself whether the Wis
ible results of the work were worth
the sacrifices and effort necessary on
the part of all concerned Some con-
ISOLATION and encouragement however
has come from the fact that time has
shown that our correctional plan of
work stands without a peer in it's
adaptation to the solution of the
problems incident to an organized ef-
fort to carry the gospel to every
creature. This being the case, there
is a possibility that my little part
combined with that which the breth-
rem have furnished, may have served
to reap some that others had sown

peatedlly told that it would seem that

peatedly told that it would seem that
the simple mention of "gold brick
would put a man at all intelligent
upon his guard.
The gold brick game has all sorts
of variations and one OF them was
applied in the recent swindle. There
was the usual rich mine in difficulties,
the pressing need Of little ready
cash to pay off some obligations, and
there were the usual bricks-two OF
DEMONSTRATING from which were
tested by fixed" appraiser or assay
er and pronounced pure gold. Then
there was the payment of $3.50 to
the swindlers, and the quick disap-
pearance of the gold mine owner, the
fixed appraiser and the others OF the
swindling crowd.
Ordinarily the "gold brick game
is supposed to be worked upon Uncle
JOSH from Squash Hollow, or some
other place equally remote and rural,
where news of gold bricks and the
wickedness of swindlers has not pen
etrated. But North Dakota mil
lionaire farmer is not in the Uncle
Josh" class. He is usually an alert,
progressive, and up to date business
man. He goes to the city often and
does not let the moss accumulate.
He manages, sometimes, banks and
elevators, and other farming and mer'
camille business, and is as quick at
a business chance as any business
man in the centers of population.
The trouble with the man who gets
'"stung" in this swindle is that he is
out of his element The gold mining
and gold buying business is out of
his line. He is playing game orig
mated and carried on by someone
else. He is accustomed to square
business dealings and does not ap-
preciate the skillfu1ness and care
with which swindles are carried out.
We hope the fact to be that the
sum lost in the recent swind1e is ex-
aggerated. At any rate the success
full working of the old game should
be warning to the successful farmer
and business man to fight shy Of lost
gold mines and big gold bricks. The
man with a gold brick to sell, even
at price way: below cost should be
told to go to the.mint and go quickly
