Colyis he can count more wind mills

few days before he came away he
went into the field where blowing

muddy mass in his hand. This is the
way the farmers practice the dry

pillow it good and deep after which

corn, which takes a good deal of
moisture, can be grown very sue

Potatoes Pay
Big Money

J.. w. Aiken, live farmer, was in
Minot Friday Mr. Aiken told of the
early days when farming was uphill
business in North Dakota. He said
that few years ago he grew nine
acres OF potatoes, selling them at
prices ranging from rs to IS cents a
bushel, making good money from the
patch. IF it hadn't been for my po-
tatoes, don't know how / would
have gotten along" he said. The .
acres raised 1000 bushels. He al
ways raises large patch OF pota-
toes and considers that no part of
his farming brings him better re-
turns. The little spuds he feeds to
his hogs. He keeps his land in ex-
ceIlent condition. Last vera his
wheat averaged Is IL bushels per
acre. A year ago he harvested a
large crop of the 129 Blue Stem
wheat which he sold for seed right
on his farm for SIPS bushel. Jerry
was making arrangements to trade
-four for wheat at the mill, and
stated that in that way he could
get a reduction Of 20 cents a
hundred on his -four.

The Garden

There is nothing that equals good
garden in cutting down living expens-
es. Those who do not plant garden
even tho only a small one miss not
only the fresh vegetables for the
table but the invigorating exercise
that is found in caring for garden.
Select your plot then, plow or
spade it, harrow and rake until it Is
we'll pulverized, furrow a part of 1t
and plant peas, beans, sweet corn,
and potatoes, also beets, carrots, rad
ish, lettuce. onions and cucumbers.
(The cucumbers should be planted
in hills about six feet apart.)
Do not buy bargain counter seeds,
the best will be more worth while.
Humus is very important in maxi
ing a good yielding soil. 1t can be
supplied by we'll rotted manure. %.
There is almost as good market
for onions as for potatoes. One acre
of land with care will produce car
load of onions.
There are millions of acres Of
waste land 1--WE are told. If you
would plant fruit and trees on your
one acre of it that would help re-
duce the waste.

Tree Growing

The growing of evergreens from
seed in North Dakota is indeed del
icate task and should not as rule
be undertaken by anyone except an
expert. In the first place the seed
that can be purchased will not al
ways grow, as great care must be
exercised in drying the seed to pre-
vent loss of vitality of the seed
and the care Of the young seedlings
will take more time than most farm
ers can spare. especially when the
rate Of growth Of a pine Seeding is
taken into consideration.
The growth Of pine seedlings un-
der good conditions is only from one
to two inches the first year, while
that Of the oak and ash is nearer a
foot, when two years Of age they
range from three to five inches and
have fairly well developed root
system and will then stannd trans
planting. At the age of three years
they average six to ten inches and
may then be transplanting. At the
age of three years they average six
to ten inches and may then be trans
planted once or twice more to give
them more room to develop into a
more sturdy growth, better top and
more symetrcal root system as they
are then better able to withstand
transplanting to their permanent
quarters.
When all things are taken into
consideration it is a very much
cheaper and better plan to buy stur-
dy growthy trees from the nursery
man as he is invariably an expert In
| his line and can grow and care fol
the young trees very much better
and more cheaply than can the aver
age person. Pine seed usually costs
about three dollars per-. pound while
eight to twelve inch seedlings al
priced by western nurserymen sell a
! from three to ten dollars per hun
! dred. The varieties of evergreen:
/ best adapted ct North Dakota con
lditions are the Black Hills Spruce
Colorado Blue Spruce, Bull Pine o.
henderson, Jack Pine, Scotch PM
land Red Cedar.

the Senator Dunlap, which make a
large number of plants, must be
greatly restricted in their growth
cutting off all but three or four run
ners during the first season after
planting. 1t is our custom to set
the plants two by four feet apart.
This causes ample room for cultiva-
ton, and allows each plant sufficient
moisture to develop to the fullest
extent.
d We have found that the plants set
early in the spring produce much
larger crop the following season
than those which are set late. For
this reason we would recommend
setting the plants about the middle
of May. keeping them we'll cultivated
turnout the season, allowing no
more than eight plants to form to

1t is possible to grow Strawberries
successfully in North Dakota with
out winter protection. In most re-
gions this protection is not applied
until after the ground is frozen hard.
In as much as the first frost in this
country is likely to be very severe
we consider it good plan to put
on a light mulch about the first of
November, before the ground begins
to freeze. This may consist of fresh
stable manure scattered lightly over
the whole bed, using a manure
spreader il possible. This should
not be applied so heavily as tc
smother the plants. The object Of
this is to lessen the possible dam.
age from sudden severe cold.
After about two weeks , another
light covering can be added, and by
the first of December the third one

protection which this mulching at

TOMALTY'S LAWYER TRIES

Suggests Money Was Lost Dur.
ing Transfer to Bank

Colonel Herbert Choynski, counsel for
James C. Tonalty, former book keeper
in the treasurer's office, who is now
on trial in Judge Lawlor's court on a
charge of falsifying public records, at
tempted yesterday to raise an infer
ence that some OF the money stolen
from the treasurer,s office during the
Bantel administration might have been
taken by policemen who transferred
coin from the old treasurey's vaults to
the Western national bank and back
again.
He also attempted to show that
the Office methods reeked with care
lessness in the handling of the public
money at all. times under Bantel.
Frank B. Lorigan. who was on the
witness stand all day yesterday, re-
futed the suggestion left open by
Choynski. saying that the greatest care
was used in making the transfers and
counted there was found to be $32 over.
Choynskf brought into evidence the
fact that on the occasion of the last
removal of the treasurer's Office from
the Western national bank to the old
quarters, in 1907, former Mayor Phelan
found on the street some vouchers and
records that had been lost in transit.
Judge Lawlor ordered that during
the continuance of the trial all Official
records and books brought. into court
as evidence should be locked up each
might by Clerk j. j. Groom in safe

Judge Graham Again Acts as
Peacemaker in ReconciIia-
ton Of Warning Couple

Harley Georges fear that his first
wife would learn of his second mar
riage led him to adopt several aliases,
according to the testimony of Isabelle
George before Judge Graham yester-
day. George was carpenter and
builder in Yreka at the time of his
last marriage on April 80, 1904. They
soon moved to San Francisco, when his
wife made short trip home and re-
turned to find him wearing the name
of Frank Neideck. She demanded an
explanation. He then said that he
neglected to get a divorce from his
first wife in Ohio and feared he might
get into trouble. A quiet investigation
showed that the first wife had obtained
a decree against him just six weeks
before his second marriage. 1t was
granted on the same ground as the
Frank Gilbert was another of Georges
assumed names.
A reconciliation was promised in the

Edward Hollingsworth, stove maker,
after an hour of Judge Graham's time
had been taken up with testimony yes
terday afternoon. They are both past
middle age. and were married five
days after the April fire. The trouble
seemed to be that the husband did not
find his wife affectionate enough and
she found him too much so. The case
was postponed for two weeks to allow
time for settling differences.

Phillip Kelly in Judge Murasky's
