people Of kidder county have stuck
to year after year, that might we'll
be taken as object lessons by other
counties of the state. One is the an
nual preparation of public fire
guards. and the other is the old set

in good shape year after year. prai.
rie fires of any considerable area
have been eliminated in our neigh
boring county.
And, annually. the people of the
county turn out To attend their old
settlers picnic One year they hold
the gathering in Steele and the next
year in Dawson. This year il was
held at the latter place. and the cdi-
tor of the Record was invited there
to deliver an address. In the early
forenoon the threatening aspect Of
the weather made it appear possible
that the picnic would have To be
postponed. But teams kept COM
ing from the country. even when it
was sprinking About noon it
cleared up. and soon a good sized
crowd had reached town. Gov.
Burke was to be present and speak.
but he was unable to make conncc :
tions from the southeastern part of
the state in time TO reach Dawson.
After the speaking the races be-
gan. and at their conclusion there
was baseball game between Daw-
son and Driscoll. in which the form
CT won.
The same splendid outlook for 4.

mons county In fact, the country
all along the line to Dawson looks
like "A big park The early -sown
grain completely shades the ground.

wind and the suns rays To dry it
out.
The people Of kiddcr county are
all talking alfalfa. 1t is not gen
orally known down this way that the
| farmers of kidder have had consid-
cradle success with this great for
age plant. There are many acres of
it. 1t seems to be away beyond the
experimental stage there. The
paintings have not been confined to
small patches. but number of farm
ers have large fields of it. some of
them seeded several years ago. One
settler told the writer that his field
was just about ready for its first
cutting. Those raising it sent away
several of them to Montana and
procured inoculated soil, which is
necessary to make it a success. OF
course there are many parts of Kid
der county where it is but a few
feet to water: but we understand
that some farmers there have raised
good crops of alfalfa where one has
to go as deep for wcll-watcr as here.
One thing is sure. there is large
section of Kidder county that is rais-
ing alfalfa successfully, which means
that such land will be worth fifty or
sixty dollars an acre in very short
time.
Is it not possible that. with some
inoculated soil procured for start.
alfalfa would do we'll in many parts
of Emmons county.

from its hinges and sent TO the store
room, but 1t might quite as well have
been closed and left In place. for the
casing became the secretary frame, as
II were. and twelve inches from the
top shelf was fitted and nailed into

Ing. Four inches under was nailed a

at that point the desk began. Dividing

partition was placed horizontally for

Both the japanese and Chinese fish.
srmen employ the cormorant to do

voracious, just swallowing fish whole,

therefore. to be taught to catch them.
II takes to that naturally. One thing,
however, the Bird has to be trained to,
and that Is not to swallow the fish
after It has been caught The safe
way Is to tie the cormorant's throat 80
