]. H. shepperd, dean and vice di-
rector of the North Dakota expert
ment station, Fargo, N. Oak. de-
scribed the progress of dry land farm
ing in his state to the Dry Farm Con-
gress. He said in part:
"The facts that the Dickinson Sub
Station reports a yield Of forty-two
bushels of oats and three hundred
and fifty bushels of potatoes; that the
Beach Demonstration Farm has CIV
en- a yield of better than thirty bush
els for more than one season, and that
steam threshing rig was unloaded
at Medora, in the heart of our Bad
Lands and dry land country, recently.
should be evidence enough that dry
/ land farming is making encouraging
progress, in North Dakota. The
Fdgely and Williston Sub-Stations
represent other districts of dry land
activities in North Lakota which have
also made consistent yields and have
shown the possibilities Of their dis
tricts to be far beyond that which
had been assigned to them before
these investigations were started.
"Our twenty-one demonstration
farms, a great majority of which are
in the dry land district, indicate that
good dry land farming methods are
increasing the per acre yields from
so TO 100 per cent as you will be in
formed through another paper pre-
sented at this congress This indi-
Gates the great need of education by
demonstration to the farmers living
N the dry land districts.
Land values are always features
which give indication of progress in
a district of country. In a large sec
ton Of North Dakota where home
steads were plentiful in 1904 and
1905 many of which have not been
proved UP and the patents secured
are selling from S25 to S5 per acre.
1t seems to me that there could be
no stronger evidence of the most
most marked progress on the part of
dry land development in our state.
Another evidence is the extension of
railroad lines, branch or feeding lines,
and numerous spur lines over the
western map of North Dakota. Rail-
road officials look over a country
very carefully and diagnose its possl-
bili,ies for production and support Of
civilization. in dense form, very thor
oughly before they put in the heavy
expense which the building of a rail-
road represents. That the Great
Northern. Northern Pacific, 500 Line
and Milwaukee systems are able to
render good business judgment in all
such cases the history of the past is
sufficient evidence.
Not only does the construction of
railway lines. building up of town
sites, the erection Of elevators. stores,
has made progress in our state. but
it is the strongest possible forecast Of
even greater progress and more rapid
development for the years which are
to come"

at Patrons Day" yesterday than has
been manifested since the session be-

body and large number of inter-
ested citizens of the town. Prof
Case explained to the patrons the va
rious instruments in the physical la

vited into the literary hall, where
the president, Clarence Brotherton.
presided over the meeting. Many of
the members of the society took part
in the program and acquitted them
selves exceedingly well and every one
present was impressed with the pro-

were made by Rev Harris, Rev. Ry-
der, Mr. Beverly and Prof. Case.
The patrons were then invited to
examine the school building, the GYM
nasium and then all went to the ball
ground where a most interesting
game took place between the first

SPIRTTUALISTIC BUREAU
RECALLS DEAD STATESMAN

London Spiritual interviews with
the spirits of four of England's dead
statesmen, through the medium of
William T. Stead's spiritualistic bu-
reau, which he calls a Julia's bureau,
are an accomplished fact. according
to an article which will be published

William Z. Gladstone, the lat Lord
Salisbury, Lord Beaconsfield and John
Bright are the past leaders whose
views on the countrys present politi-
cal situation are claimed to have been
secured by the mediums at Julia's
bureau.
The Chronicle asserts that in an in

mer Premier Gladstone mildly ap-
proves the budget which has been
passed by the house of commons and
which provides for a revolutionary
taxation of landed proprietors. The
former premier is quoted as advising

budget, as it has shown an inclination
to do
Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaconsfield
and John Bright, accorded to the
Chronicle, have expressed their ghost
ly views in three interviews but ask
ed that they be withheld from publl-
cation.
Steads bureau of spiritualism has
been closely investigated by the So
ciety for psychological research and
several of its demonstrations have
been pronounced genuine. 1t was
founded by Stead after a medium
known as Julia had returned to him
after her death and in several in
terviews advised the founding of the
bureau.

LIVE STOCK LOSSES.

The Crop Reporter for April con-

losses in farm animals from exposure
and disease for the year ending March
81, 1909. The loss from disease in
horses was 1.8 per cent, being M
tenth Of l per cent greater than for
the year preceding and a like per cent
less than for the ten year period. The
loss In cattle from disease was 10 per
cent, the same as for the year before,
and the average for the ten year Pc
Rod was 81 per cent. Fol the cor
responding periods the losses from ex-
posture were 10, 10 and 1.8 per cent.

104, and Kansas, 1O6,225. The loss in
sheep was Fl from exposure and %

II BUSH LIMA.

There is hardly a vegetable which
grows in the garden that produces a
finer delicacy for the table than the
bush lima bean. Yet, developed as it
Is from a tropical or semitropical an
cestor, it requires a great deal Of warm
weather to bring it to maturity. For
this reason it should be planted in the
warmest place in the garden, prefer
ably on a southern slope or just to the
south of hedge, tight fence or building.
The soil should be rich and mellow and
In planting the seed should b@ put in
the soil to the depth of an inch n at
a time, eye down, so that the seed will
not have to twist or turn itself in the
process of sprouting and breaking
through the soil, a process in which
the cotyledons are often broken off
and the little plant destroyed because
deprived Of the nourishment which
they furnish to 1t in the first days.
Frequent hoeings to keep the soil
mellow and moist will hasten the de-
velopment Of the beans and thus In
effect lengthen the season Of growth.

Some boils can be nipped in the

OSTRICH

Ostriches were first introduced into
the United States by a DR.. Protheroe
In 1882, and today as a result Of the
increase Of this first flock and subse-
quent importations the number has
increased until there are several thou
sands located In some half dozen
ranches distributed in Arizona, Cali
fornia, Florida, Arkansas and North
Carolina. Until lately the birds have
been raised largely for exhibition pur-
poses, but with the establishment of
the big farm at Phenix, Ariz., which
now has owe 1000 birds, the industry
was taken up on a commercial scale.
While the birds mate for life at four
years old, they do not breed satisfac-
torfly until six or seven. A pair will
produce from ten to twenty chicks a
year, each being worth at SIX months
$1O0 at a year $3.50 and at three from
$500 to $3.50. A prolific pair may fetch
$1,000, and exceptionally fine single
birds have been known to bring this
amount. The feather output for a
year varies from $35 to 800. The first

is Of little value. Succeeding crops
are taken every nine months. The
nest Of the ostrich is a crude affair,
being a hole three feet across and a
foot deep in the sand scooped out by
the b~reastbone Of the bird. The usual
clutch Of eggs is twelve to fourteen,
the weight ranging from three to four
pounds each. The eggs are turned
daily and hatch In about forty days.
The male bird assists In incubation,
going on duty promptly at 5 in the
afternoon and remaining until 9 next
morning. When Matched the chicks
are about as large as a common hen,
growing In height at the rate Of a foot
a month until seven or eight feet tall,
when they weigh from 300 to 400
pounds.

TANGLEFooT BANDS.

Orchardists in several states, more
particularly the extensive fruit grow
ing districts Of the west, are securing
very satisfactory results with "tangle-
foot bands" applications made on the
trunks of the trees a short distance
below the limbs of the same resinous
material which is used on the sticky
fly paper, the familiar kind an un-
wary man will now and then sit down
upon in a drug store window. Several
coats Of the composition are applied,
the mixture even during wet seasons
being effective traps for a period Of
three months. The band not only traps
the worms which hatch in the tree
and descend the trunk in search of
nesting places, but it catches a ma
jority Of those which emerge from ap-
pies on the ground and seek food or
nesting places in the tree.
