ANENT CROP ROTATION.
Government Expert Tells What Crops
Should Be Used.

According to Professor Whitney, of
the Bureau of Soil, United States De-,
partment of Agriculture, a soil to be
fertile, must contain a sufficient guam
tity of the ash ingredients of the plants
to be cultivated and these must be in
such soluble condition as to be taken
up by the growing plants. Soils once
fertile are said to be exhausted when
deprived Of such food as is required for
plant nutrition, but rest and meliorat-
ing treatment will, in time, restore such
soils to fertile condition.
Until the past year 1850 no just
ideas upon rotation Of crops seemed
to have been formed in any part of
England.
The rotation of crops affords time
for the disintegrating action of the
atmosphere, rain and frost to prepare
new material from the rock particles
in the soil and getfit in form 20 be.
used by the plant. One crop may use
up available food OF a particular kind
faster than it can be prepared by these
natural agencies. When properly man.
aged it enables one plant to prepare
food for another.
in an unequal degree; plants of diff
ferent kinds do not exhaust the soil
in the same manner; all plants do not
restore to the soil a like quantity or
quality Of manure, and all plants are
not equally favorable to the growth
of weeds. Upon the above principles
is based regular succession of crops.
Through a system Of rotation is
adapted to every soil, no particular
rotation can be assigned TO any one
description of soil which will answer
at all times. much depending on cli-
matte changes, and on the demand
for different kinds Of produce. on
clay soils, beans and clover, with
rye grass, are generally alternated
with grain crops, and on dry loans
on sandy ground, rurnips, beets, po-
tstoes and clover. On rich soils this
system of alternate 1iusbandry Is most
productive to the plentiful production

WARRANTS OUT
FOR N. D. COUPLE
BARBER NAMED BELL AND WIFE
OF sTREETER, NJ D., CHARGED
WITH ABANDONING CHILD.

Aberdeen, s. D., Dec. 1S.-Warrants
have been issued for the arrest Of a
barber named Bell, a resident of
Streeter, N D., and his wife, on a
charge of child abandonment. The
warrant was sent to the marshal at
Streeter, but the couple had evidently
become aware Of the fact, and had left
the town when the officer went after
them 1t is believed they will soon
be apprehended.
On the evening of Nov. 20, Mrs. M.
Bennett, wife of druggist here, heard
a rap at the door. Upon opening it,
she found girl baby about two months
old, lying on the porch. The infant
was care for, and later taken by an
Aberdeen commercial traveller and, his
wife, who intend to rear it. While on
his travels, the husband heard a re-
mark at Edgeley which gave him a
clue, and investigation led to many
suspicious circumstances which occa-
stoned the issuance OF warrant for
the Bells.

Operation on Skull.

Jamestown, N. D., Dec. IS. = Miss
Bessie Schlichter, the 19-year- old
daughter of Louis Schlichter, 52S North
Sixth avenue, is seriously i'll from an
abscess Of the skull and underwent a
dangerous operation at the residence
Thursday night. The skull over and
back of the right ear was laid open
and piece nearly two inches square
taken out, exposing the upper end Of
the jugular vein called the lateral sinus
an ilcision in which would have caus-
ed instantaneous death The vein was
exposed for an inch and a quarter due
to necrosis or decay of the cranial
bones. The abcess was evidenced by
severe pains, rapid pulse and intense
suffering, and upon diagnosis and con-
sultation the operation was found nee
essary. The operation took nearly
three quarters OF an hour. 1t was per-
formed by DR.. Holt assisted by Drs.
Moore and Movius Miss Schhchter is

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
Great Progress Made in Vicinity Of
MechsISy IL The Past Few
Years.

McCluslSy Independent: We made
trip across the country to Wilton
last week in company with Mr.. and
Mrs. Kehrer and children and An
drew Lehr. Among the things we
noticed that looked good to us and
should appeal to many who are not
flooded with money, was the number
of loads OF coal which were being
hauled direct from the mines to the
consumers bins. This coal costs 81 a
ton at the mines and on our trip
across the country we met at least
forty or fifty teams, many of which
were four-horse, and besides, the
party driving would have a trail team
which was loaded with a ton and a
half or two tons, making it possible
for one man to haul four tons to a trip.
Where a year ago it was possible
to drive across lots, the roads are
now broke up or fenced and in anoth-
er year or two the roads will have

to show that the country is fast be-
coming settled to the extent that 1t is
necessary TO get busy and make the
roads on the section lines possible to
follow.
We also noticed several rural mail
boxes along the road from the Alta
postoffice to Wilton, which made that
part Of the journey look more modern
lied than from Alta to McClusky and
it didn't really seem that there is any
good excuse for them not being in
evidence as there are plenty of i'm
proved farms between there and here
so it is up to somebody to get busy
and keep their section of the country
UP with the times
Wilton on the 500, is a busy city
with its electric light plant, modern
stores and it's coal mines which

And what is nicer than a sweet

TWO ROBBERS ARE
BLOWN TO SHREDS
BITS or BODIES ARE FOUND
ALONG BANKS OF THE
ARKANSAS RIVER.

Tulsa, Okla, Dee 1s.-That soma
high explosive with which they had
planned TO wreck some bank in this
vicinity proved the means of ther own
death is the belief OF the police re-
garding the fate Of two men whose
bodies torn to snreds, were found last
night on the banks of the Arkansas
river near here. SS&
An addition to the theory is thar
the men may have been members or
the gang that blew the vault In the
Bank Of Paoli yesterday and escaped,
and that they were killed by an ev-
plosive which they had prepared to
use in looting some other institution.
1t is generally known that the banks
of Tulsa have a large amount of
money on hand, and the clothing and
paraphernalia found with the pieces
OF the mems bodies have convinced
the police that the men were profess
sional cracxsmen.
Bith of flesh and clothing were
found scattered over considerable
space along the river bank, and the
theory is that dynamite or nitro
glycerine, which the men were carry
ing, was accidentally exploded.

FORKS BROKEN OF
NIGHT SHOPPING
STORES WERE KEPT OPEN BUT
MERCHANTS FOUND THAT
PUBLIC REFUSED TO
BUY.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 1S.-Three
weeks before Christina the Grand
Forks stores decided to open evenings
in order to give the Christmas buyers
plenty of opportunity to make their
purchases. The result has proved a
surprise and disappointment to some,
because four-fifths OF the shopping,
both for Christmas wares and regular
routine buying has been done in the
day time.
In years gone by tie custom here
has been to open the stores Sept. 1
and keep them open evenings until
Jan. /. Prior to that lit was the GUS
tom to have evening openings the
year round. Gradually the Grand
Forks and in face all North Dakota
shoppers are becoming used to the
day buying tnasmuch as it gives the
buyers more time to make their pur-
chases and the natural light is con-
sidered the best to see the wares by.
Besides the clerks are always much
more amiaible in the day time, as they
do not have 10 stand the long grind
for twelve or fourteen hours and the
buyers end sellers are alike mutually
SSAIASAASo' ElOuA luG pESSSuC OutlOOk
it looks as though the local stores
will wait next year until two weeks
before Christmas before opening in
the evening, due to the fact that buy
ing is done more extensively in the
day time. The matter of closing eve
nings was started by the clerks union
here several years ago, ana the mat
ter hung fire for some time. Then
the more humane merchants took the
matter up and started closing eve
nings and the result is that Grand
Forks shoppers like the plan of shop
ping by daylight mucA better. All
of which goes to show that the people
here are beginning to recognize the.
humanity Of night closing, except for
the holiday season, when ii is a neces-
sity to keep open for a week or two.

A Skirt Hanger That is Really Useful.
The ordinary skirt hangers are a
delusion and snare as they serve to
make more wrinkles than they pre-
vent. A skirt hanger like the Illus
tration holds the band straight and
keeps the skirt in good order. It may
be purchased and wound with ribbon
and hung with cachets. A dust pro-
tector made like the one for the hats
is a fine addition. An .eyelet should
be worked in the center to slip the
hook through.

FRICTION IN sCHENCK's OFFICE
Two Assistants to County Attorney on
Different Sides of a Case.

The two assistants of County Attor-
ney Schenck, William E. Atchison and
Arthur J. Bolinger are usually able to
take pretty good care of the states
cases and know each others tactics.
That same knowledge is making things
lively just now in the office for the
two have gotten on opposite sides of a
case.
When Frank H. Hook. a farmer of
the vicinity of Tecumseh, came into
the county attorneys office for help.
Atcnison took the matter up. Hook had
a renter, 1. w. Baker, who owed him
$500 rent and Baker was about to leave
without paying 1t. In fact he was very
certain of leaving without payment and
Hook offered to settle for half. Baker
said he would see about it and pro-
ceeded to place his horses implements,
ETC., in a freight car billed for Lone
Wolf, Ok.
Atchison then got out a garnishment
on the Santa Fe to hold UP the car.
But Baker had had the forethought to
retain A. ]. Bolinger to protect him and
Bolinger got Baker to hurry the car
TO Topeka where he had it transferred
to the Rock Island and sent on to Ok
lahoma last night while the process
server was looking for it on the Santa
Fee In addition to that Bolinger had
Baker make a temporary present OF all
his belongings to his mother-in-law
Mrs. Jennie Hanna.
This nornirg Atchison learned of the
transactions and told Dolly he was
a crook. Bolinger insists that Baker
really owed his mother-in-law 5000 and
merely paid the debt. Atchison also
thinks Bolinger ought to have told him
about the change of route of the car
so that he could stop it as Bolinger
would then stand a better chance to
collect his fee.
Still Atchison thinks he will get the
car for he made up another garnish-
