EDUCATION ron THE BOYS.
Why Sons Of SmaIl Farmers Develop
Managerial Ability.

The education acquired on the small
farm broadens citizenship because 1t
Is a many sided education and gives
correct impressions of many phases
of life All over the world the small
1 independent farmers are stanch sup
porters Of conservative government
| They are intense lovers OF home and
opposed to radical changes.
Ultimately the small farmer learns
to keep a reserve of cash against em-
ergencies. and these aggregated ac-
cumulations become very important
factors In the capital OF the nation,
for they are more reliable than de-
posits from commercial sources. The
vast sums OF money necessary TO carry
on the business OF nation are not
derived from the deposits Of capital
lists, but from the aggregation of mill
lions of thrifty small depositors. This
is especially true In England, France.
Germany and the United States.
1t has been observed for years that
the sons OF small farmers develop
managing ability. From their earl
lest years they are compelled TO do
things and to act independently. It
is from this source that the greatest
number of managers of the various
enterprises Of our country have been
drawn.
The great value Of educating and
training youth for agriculture is 40
universally conceded that II does not
require discussion. The necessity of
presenting and impressing better
types OF husbandry upon adult farm

Right Training
For Girls
THEY ARE NOT GETTING IT AT
PRESENT.

&FhESENTs
THERE Is unfortunately little doubt
that we do not train our daugh-
tiers properly.
The boy approaching manhood il
trained to his especial profession and
begins studies that at him for his
work. The girl. although admitted to
school on equal terms with him, has
no training for her special work
motherhood
We have never been sensible about
this; we have never looked upon 1t as
business to be learned
good deal OF advice is now given
the mother after she is q mother, but
none before. This is good deal like
closing the stable door after the horse
Is stolen.
Motherhood Of the right kind and
education are the two forces that can
elevate the race.
The first duty of a woman is to be
strong and healthy, so II she marries
she will be a mother worth having IL
woman allows herself to grow fiat
chested and consumptive. IL she has
poor teeth or eyesight or bad diges-
ton. then she cannot do her duty by
her children.
The first rule toward making a.
healthy woman is that she shall be al
lowed full liberty to romp In the sun
shine when she is young. We want
our girls TO sit still and be prettily
dressed. and that il where we make q
big mistake They should have the
same chance to grow strong as the
boys.
Every girl should have special In
struction not only In housekeeping.
but in the duties OF motherhood.
Last and not least. the Importance OF
choosing the right father for her chill
dren should be impressed on her mind.
No girl has any right to marry purely
on account OF fascination man who
has no sterling qualities. no ability to
make hts way In the world and no
sense OF honor SHE is thus INJECTING
misery on her unborn little ones and
giving them d father who will be q
cause OF shame to them.
Many woman has suffered the
oitterest pangs imaginable BY witness
ing the misery she herself has broughe
on her children.

KIDDER COUNTY CORN
CROP is CLEAR OF FROST AND is
BETTER THAN IN MANY So
CALLED CORN STATES"

Steele Ozone: Monday we rode out
to look at the cornfield of H. weisen-
hutter, on the Brash place on the
north edge of town. where the owner
had already been using his corn
binder on the early crop.
The Borrowed flint was all in shock,
and the shocks were big and thick.
They stood fully eight feet high, the
ears on the stalks being fully ripe.
and numerous. No frost had touched
the leaves and the fodder was secure.
While the ears would turn out a fine
Jield. The field comprises twenty acres,
but about half is in larger variety
OF flint, which Mr.. wisenhutter is
leaving a few days yet as while most
OF 1t is hard enough to ripen out IL
cut now, some is still scarcely hard
enough to make keeping corn. A week
will complete a splendid crop. Many
OF the stalks were six inches above our
arms reach while standing on the hill
ridge. and In the entire field six foot
man would be out of sight a few rows
from the edge. The hills are from
three to five stalks each--too many for
a corn country with less heavy and
strong soil than this, but the ears are
plentiful. In q hollow where the stalks
are greener Herman pulled us a dozen
roasting ears of the kind we favor
just on the last stage of the dough.
From two hills at random eight ears
were taken. and two good sized ones
left. The ears viii run eight and ten
inches The field is an object lesson.
| and Is the finest one near Steele. from
the fact that the stalks are so high and
well loaded, and the field with scarce
missing hill.
This corn was planted May "a, and
| is clear. Of FROST now. During the
winter and early spring Mr.. wiesen-
| hutter hauled considerable manure on
] the land from town with a speader,
and that tells now In the early matured
crop and the rich fodder. The field is
clean and cutting with a binder Is easy.
/ The binder is the first ever brought
to Steele. but 1t is not to be the last
If present indications are an index
OF the near future. One has only to
look at that field and the product to
be convinced that further question Of
i corn growing to pay in Kidder county,
and on the heavy land, is waste of
/ time 1t is the owners intention to
bring In forty or fifty head OF steers
from the ranch, turn them loose In the
field when the shocks are cleared out,
let them eat the waste, and then feed
them fodder and small ears, and ship
4 them to market as finished beef. The
wisdom of this in manifest. 1t is what
has been advocated and talked Of as
one of those "ir' propositions that
would make money for the North Da-
kota stock raiser and farmer, but has
seldom gotten beyond that state.

bunch of threshers that stood around

and 1t is a miracle that none Of the
men were killed. The engine had been
running for some time and from the
amount Of water that was in the glass
1t appeared that there was a suff-
Client supply in the boiler. But such
was not the case for when the engine
had been running short while there
was a racket and pieces OF iron were
flying all around like bullets from a
gattling gun. Fortunately the flying
pieces didn't hit anyone. There were
some sixty seven lues blown out and
as 1t would cost almost as much to
fix the old engine as to buy a new one
Mr. Crawford sent in an order for a
new engine which is expected some
time this week.
