FARM NOTES.

There Is never any harm done soil
IN working the surface in dry state.
Winter rains and SHOWS and sum-
Rsr rains fill the hills and other land
Nll of water.
When the soil crumbles In the hand,
and does not pack, is the time to start
the cultivator.
Although the watermelon is a sue.
culent fruit, wet is more damaging to
1t than drouth.
To manipulate colonies SO as not to
swarm at all when run fol- comb honey
is thing yet to be discovered.
Implement dealers report difficulty
in getting pumping gasoline engines
fast enough to supply the demand.
The best time to kill the weeds is
before they come up and before they
have robbed the corn of moisture and
nourishment.
Keeping the pasture clean of unde-
sirable growth means more grass for
the animals, which means more sure
and easy money.
Pleasant surroundings and modern
conveniences, easily obtainable. will
go long way In keeping the boys and
girls on the farm.
When the seeds are sown and the
transplanting is mostly done in the
family fruit and vegetable garden, one
must begin cultivation.
When the disk turns dry soil 1t al
ways leaves 1t in a more or less dust
form, which is the best condition for
leaving any soil for seeding.
When a day comes SO that regular
field work cannot be done, take the ak
brush scythe and grubbing hoe and
work In the permanent pasture.
| Buckwheat is the most widely
known source of the dark honeys, and
perhaps the only one which has eyel
become popular as table honey.
The gospel of corn improvement Is
now spreading rapidly among the
farmers and the younger generation
through the agency of natural forces
The most valuable farms were a
one time sloughs and swamps. anC
considered worthless. Drainage hal
made them what they are now-yalu
able.
We should cultivate to aerate th'
soil, and to make use of the principle
Of capillary attraction, to bring up tn
water in the water veins under tn
soil, where plants can use 1t.

Load-Lifting Device.

actuated bar when 1t is desired to
grip the load, When the burden is to
be dropped the pawl is released and
the wheel rotates and allows the bar
rel to slide out easily. The device
works on the principle of ice-tongs,
too, as when the vertical portions OF
the arms are drawn together by
means Of cables at the top, the curved
portions close together and engage
the load. OF course it will be under
stood that an apparatus Of this nature
must be operated by some power en-

COINAGE WITHOUT A FLAW
Assay Commission Finds Work of the
Various Mints to Be Beyond
Crticiem.

The government of the United
States no longer tests its coinage by
having a congressman bite silver
dollar and then ring 1t on bar, ac-
cording to William B. Mckinley, of
the house of representatives for Illi-
nois. who is in the city as member
of the annual assay commission,
which began its work at the Phlladel-
phia mint yesterday, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger.
The commission for the examination
of the currency is appointed yearly
by the prea Int, and meets in this
city. Amon those on the commit
tee is Dr. g .shinn, of this city.

GOOD LoAD-LIFTlNG DEVICE
Barrels, Boxes or Loads Of Hay
Handy on Any Farm.

A device for lifting heavy objects,
sucn as barrels, large boxes and bales
Of hay, has been invented by Cali
fornia man. By means Of it these
articles can be swung into wagon
or ship as man would lift a satchel.
In appearance the implement resem-
bles a huge pair of ice-tongs, the arms
of the tongs being curved in a semi
circle so as to engage a barrel At
the bottom of these arms are spiked
wheels which are locked by spring.

In an Interview a few days ago
said it was about time the western
part of the state do something to Sc
cure at least one representative in
congress, as We had been the tail end
Of the Fargo kite about long enough
The recent order cutting 361> town
ships of the Bismarck land office and
adding them to the Fargo district
certainly proves this. Every man in
those thirty-six townships who is
compelled to visit the land Office, must
pay double the amount of expense and
consume three times az much time as
heretofore, and ALI Because Fargo
must have more territory. Their dis
trict is now 1862 miles wide. Is it not
about time We DO something to pro-
tect the homesteaders who live within
40 miles Of Bismarck, and 100 miles
from Fargo

Heariag Of Commission.

The matter of express rates in the

the Western and the Dominion Elk
press companies; Messrs Bennett and
Collins of the Northern Express CON-

sion of the matter of rates between
the members of the commission and
the express men.
Another matter that is to come up
today is the question of point freight
rates between Grand Forks and
points on the 500 line north and

0000~SUtT35Ss
Herbert Spencer offered a character
istically original system of reckoning
He chung to the dlodecimal system,
mainly because twelve can be divided
by three and four as ten cannot. But
he suggested that all the advantages
Of both systems might be combined by
making twelve the basis Of calculation,
inventing two new digits to take the
places Of ten and eleven and making
twelve times twelve the hundred.
Spencer scornfully remarked that the
decimal system rests solely on the fact
that man has ten fingers and ten toes.

"Who owns the geese, my man?

Again the question was asked, with
the. same reply. Somewhat annoyed
the traveller called the station maste,
and told him the story, stating that he
full well knew the difference between
geese and ducks.
