tice of the "dog incident" Dur.
ing church Sunday, May 80, in
the First Baptist church (where
the ordinance of secession was
signed) the evangelist who was
carrying on a meeting requested
that a shepherd dog be removed
The point as to whether The ca
nine was causing any diaulb
ance is the point or one ot the
points of the discussion. Some
clam the dog was not acting be-
comingly, others claim that he
was quiet and calm, bui,at any
rate Rev. A. b. Kennedy, assist
ant pastor, put the dogodt at
window. 1t was alleged that
the dog was injured and Mon
days papers contained an article
criiicising the act. Mr., Kennedy
was summoned before he magis-
trate and another gentleman
came out in a card saying that
Mr.. Kennedy was justified, etc.
Mr.. Kennedy was cleared, as no
case was made outfsainst him.
1t is claimed that several people
attempted to put the dog out and
he snapped at them and, that
Mr.. Kennedy did aheroic act in
risklng himself by removing the
dog. The town and church was
about divided on the question
but the discussion seems to have
quieted down ere this.

CUPID FoILs THE COURTS.

Cult for Possession Of seventeen.Year.
old Girl Estopped by Her Marriage.
When arguments were made in the
case of Mrs. Eliza Carlson against the
North Dakota Children's Home at
Grand Forks, it developed that Flor
ence, the oldest girl involved in the
case, aged II years, had foiled her
mothers efforts to gain control of her
by getting married. 1t was a case
wherein cupid won and the courts lost.
Mrs. Carlson continued her efforts
TO secure the two other children in
volved in the suit. Arguments were
made by Bardi G. Skulason in her ia
vor and by Scott Rex for the Chill
dren's Home. Briefs will be submit
ted later.
Mrs. Carlson lost her suit in pro-
bate court and took an appeal to the
district court. The home insists that
she has lost all right to the children,
while she claims she is now in a posi-
ton to care for them and that they
should be returned to her. All of the
children have been adopted by fami-
lies able to care for them.

STILL FOR NORTH DAKOTA.

0enatured Alcohol Experiments to BE
Made by Commissioner Ladd.
The farmers of the Northwest are to
be given all the pointers possible re-
garding the commercial features of
denatured alcohol. The department of
agriculture at Washington is co-operat-

North Dakota Agricultural college and
will send still to Fargo. Mr.. Ladd
sent B. ]. Norton. a graduate of the
school, to Washington some time ago
for special duty with the department
and he will be placed in immediate
charge Of the work. The tests will be
along the lines of using the products
Of North Dakota and this part of the
Northwest for the purpose of making
alcohol for commercial uses.

Many North Dakota Cities Learning
About Purity Of Water.
Many communities in different partA
OF the state are beginning to see the
wisdom of learning something about
the purity of water from certain
sources before it is used as public
supply. The public health laboratory
is making analyses of this nature
nearly every day.
kenmare has recently had trouble
with their water, and has sent sam.
pies from another source to be tested
for their purity, with a view to using
water from this source.
Bottineau contemplates putting in q
waterworks system in the near future.
and has asked the public health labo-
ratory to make examinations of sam
pies from four different sources.
These examinations are made to de.
termine which source furnishes water
of the highest purity, and that source
will be used for the public supply. It
is a comparatively easy matter to so
construct the waterworks system that
water may be taken from any one Of
the four available sources, but it
would be quite an extensive expert.
ment to make change after the sys.
TEN has been installed.
The ice men at Ardoch have begun
to put up their supply Of ice for the
coming season, and Mr.. Drew has sent
a cake of ice from Forest river, with
request to test its supply. This ice
furnishes the supply Of drinking
water for many people in that com.
munity, and it is wise precaution
to ascertain its purity beforehand.
These tests are made by the public
health laboratory free Of charge.

Horticultural Department Of Aqricul.
turaI College Branches Out.
With the completion of the new
greenhouse the horticultural depart
ment finds itself in shape to offer in
structfon to very good advantage at
any time of the year. These houses
are three in number, each being sixty
six feet in length and ranging in
width from eighteen to twenty-four
feet. The larger house is devoted ex-
clusively to class and demonstration
work. In the large bed at the center
are growing apple and plum trees, as
we'll as all of the bush fruits. This
furnished material for work in bud
ding, grating, pruning, cross polliza-
ton. transplanting, etc. Around the
outside of the house are benches in
which the students have set off a
small area for their work in seed GER
miration, and for the different forms
of plant propagation.
One of tie other houses is devoted
exclusively to work in forcing and
plant propagation. During the winter
the ordinary forcing crops will be
grown here, and at the proper seasons
the different garden and ornamental
plants will be started.
The third house is devoted exclu
sively to the decorative plants. In
these are growing fifty species of
plants, including palms, ferns, azalias,
apacarias, cylamens, etc. Those will
also constitute one of the attractive
features for visitors.
The houses are all provided with
automatic regulators that keep the
temperature at any desired point.
The construction of the walls is of
brick and cement, while the beds and
benches are of reinforced cement.
There is nothing about the houses that
can rot out, and it is not expected that
they will require anything in the way
of repairs for the next twenty years.
When the horticultural laboratory is
erected at the north end as is pro-
vided for in the plans will be all that
could be desired in the many and va
ried lines of work in this department.

The committee sent by the agricul-
tural college to investigate the dairy
equipment at the agricultural schools
in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa re-
Gently handed in it's report. The rapid
increase in the value of the dairy in
dustry in the three states named is
due in large measure to the important
part the state schools have played in
the training Of men qualified to get
the most possible out of the industry.
Wisconsin alone. in 1906. produced
125,000,000 pounds of butter, having
value of $S5,oOo,OOO, while it's cheese
returns for the same year added $17,-
100000 to the account. The dairy
products Of the state exceed by So
100000 the total income from wheat,
oats, barley, flax and potatoes. The
creamery butter alone in the State of
Iowa had last year valuation of $685.
100000, while that of the crops above
named totaled s55.O0O,O00. In 1906
the North Dakota crop was valued at
$S1 100000 crop consisting largely
of wheat, fax and barley, all of which
draw heavily on the fertility of the
soil. The committee. consisting of
H. r. Hartman, James 3. Radford and
G. L. Tibert. say in their report: "Cli-
matte conditions in Minnesota and
North Dakota are about the same, the
people are of the same stock, and we
can see no reason why the dairy COW
should not become as great source
of revenue to the farmers of North
Dakota as to our sister state across
the Red. where the annual output has
increased from $6,0OO,O0O in 1890
to SAL 100000 at the present time, and
where Prof. Hecker of the Minnesota
Agricultural college, managing the
college herd. reports that he has been
able to secure return of 1894 for
every 81 expended for fodder. While
We lead in the production of small
grains, every thinking man knows that
this condition cannot continue in.
definitely. Some other method Of
farming must be adopted. We believe
what dairying has done for the states
visited. it can do for our state, and
we see great additional source Of
revenue to the farmers of our state
in intelligent dairy farming"
To rightly equip the farmers of tho
state for the changing conditions it
is necessary that hundreds of young
men throughout the state be trained
in the best methods of commercial
dairying. This will call for an ade.
quate equipment consisting of a
creamery, dairy barn and dairy herd,
together with the employment of a
professor of dairying. Both long and
short courses in this subject will be
offered, and in the near future. The
dairy department promises to become
one Of the leading features of the
agricultural college.
