with the grain crop each year. This
will, in a few years, introduce in them
germs to get successful stand. Glow.
er should be sown on we'll prepared
land, disc corn stubble does very well.
When sowing for the first time, SOW
IL to IS pounds to the acre and a
light coating of stable manure should
be applied.
A nurse crop can be sown with it,
and barley has proved to be the best,
although it will do better if sown
alone. The value of clover for hay
is apparent to all. It produces an un.
usual crop of seed in this section
yield of 8 to bushels of see to
the acres being common. When grown
for hay it should be cut back some
time the latter part of June, as the
first crop does not produce very much
seed.
With corn and clover in the rotation
agriculture becomes permanent
thing.

COLE IS GIVEN GOOD
PLACE With The 500

Minot, N. D., June 11.-Effective
June 10, A. B. Cole, who for some
thing over year past has had head
quarters in Minot as assistant divi-
sion superintendent, will be general
agent of the 500 line, with headquar-
tiers in Minot, for a territory covering
North Dakota and everything west.
1t is also regarded as probable that
Mr.. Coles territory may be extended
to give him everything west of Mil
neapolis. However, the details of
this have not yet been arranged.
The new position which Mr.. Cole
will fill has just been created by the
traffic department of the 500 line, and
his choice for the place is a decided
compliment to his ability as a rail-
road man.
Substantially it means that Mr..
Cole will be in charge of all new
business arising in the territory
which his position covers, and will
have general jurisdiction over all
business in the traffic department af-
fected by his district.
Mr.. Cole is a thorough railroad
man. He has been with the 500 line
for over twenty years.

Overcome BY GAS YOUNG
man DIES IN Deep We'll

Richardton, NJ. D., June 11.-Wm.
Helsper, a young man twenty-eight
years of age, was overcome by gas in
a we'll on Peter Cornish's place. They
had blasted rock the night before
and, Mr.. Helsper was lowered into
the we'll early Tuesday morning. He
was heard to strike the rock two or
three times and then to call out
something to his brother Fred and
Peter Cornish, who were above. They
answered, but no response came. They
then became alarmed and ran to
Henry Earns place for help. Mr..
Earn was lowered into the well but
found Helsper dead. Earn was also
overcome by gas, but was pulled out
before it was too late. Grapple hooks
were then used and the body of Hels'
per taken from the well.

is the bare fallow. In fact it is often
thought to be better.
Glover is another crop that is prov
ing itself to be we'll adapted to this
section, and it is also very import
ant crop to grow from the standpoint
Of what it will do for the soil, as it
actually leaves it richer than before
it was grown.
He stated that if clover should fail
that was no sign that it would not
grow, as it might mean that the right
conditions were not present, and also
that where clover has been sown once
it will be easier to get good stand
the second time. The clover plant
must have some germs living on its
roots, the presence of which is indi
Gated by the nodules. 1t happens in
some places that these are not pres
ent and then they have to be intro
duced, which can be done by sowing
clover for a few years, which will
introduce them, or by taking soil from
a field that has been growing it sue
cessfully and sowing it at the rate OF
100 pounds to the acre and harrow it
in thoroughly. One good way is to
SOW a couple of pounds of clover seed

Resume of Work OF Better Farming Special for Week
"BETTER FARMING SPECIAL"
NOTES

| The question now asked so often
is, What is this better farming spe-
ciar and who are the people on the
train? 1t is merely an agricultural
college on wheels, carrying it's teach
ing force, machinery, live stock, lab
oratories, libraries and a hundred
and one other parts of its parapher-
MALTA to the people over the country
that cant 60 to the great central
school.
There was an entire change of
train crews at Jamestown on We'd
lnesday.
The post graduate course between
stations is having reflective action
on the audiences at the next stops
and is of great value to the repre-.
sentatives of the press that are along.
Editor Greedy of the Dakota Farm
err was welcomed arrival at Shey-
enne and from now on he will be
made very useful every day.
The message of the pillow as deliv-
cred by w. J. Brown should be heard
by every man in the northwest and
then printed in full and used in the
text books in every district school
in America. No farmer along the
line can afford to miss this talk.
The people of North Dakota ought
to send some kind of token of ap-
probation to the St. Paul Dispatch
for the manner in which John P. Ed
mison is reporting the doings of the
Better Farming Special" 1t is i'm
possible to calculate the real value
of such work to a state.
If the interest increases as it is
now growing, it will be problem
of how to care care of the people at
the stops.
Turtle Lake has had heavy rains
and the crops are growing very rap
idly.
| Lewis Renfrow, living six miles
northwest of Turtle Lake, has sown
| fifteen acres to timothy. Five acres
seeded in March show perfect stand
and the crop is now several inches
high. That sown later is doing we'll.
The post graduate work is increas-
| ing in interest and value.
j. K. Doran has been appointed by
Prof Bolley the collector of samples
of growing grain along the route for
the purpose of estimating present
crop conditions and for the further
purpose of saving the same and TAX
ing back to the college for closer ex-
| animation relative to the pathological
condition all over the state. Farm
ers and others will confer favor
by bringing samples of growing crops,
weeds, flowers and plants to the train
as it passes through. These samples
are examined by the post graduate
class and then go to the college for
further investigation.

SHEPPARD TALKS
CORNANDCL0VER
cl AIMS THEY ARE THE MOST I'M
PoRTANT CROPS IN THE
STATE.
Seed Should Be Selected and in ths
Field If Possible - Proper CuItjva-
ton Important Part OF Business
Rotate Corn and Glover to Good
ADVANTAGE.

Corn and clover are two important
crops to the North Dakota farmer In
that they both leave the land In a
better condition for producing crop
of grain. They are both weed killers
and also furnish valuable crops and
particularly so for live stock, which
must form part of our farming If 1t
is to be the most successful.
In speaking of corn, he referred to
the fact that historians have lately
discovered that a tribe of Indians in
habited the country between the Mis-
sissippi and the Missouri rivers alto
gether different from the Sioux and
that they raised corn. He also refer
red to the fact that Lewis and Clark
in their expedition, wintered in Nc
Lean county, and stated that if 1t
had not been for the corn they got
from the Indians they would have
starved to death, showing the corn
has been raised in this section be-
fore the white man came. Corn has
been grown enough in this state to
settle that it is one of the coming
crops. He warned against trying to
get too large varieties and to stick
to the early maturing kinds as they
will prove more satisfactory. He re-
ferred to the fact the food value of the
corn crop is taken as one when the
corn is in tassel; it will double by
the time the silks appear, treble when
in milk, quadruple when in the dough
stage and when ripe the food value
will be five times what it was when
tasseling out, which makes it quite
clear that it pays to grow variety
that will be sure of maturing. He en-
phasized the need of selecting the
seed early, preferably in the field, to
dry it thoroughly, which seems to in
crease its terminating power, nor will
it kill the seed if it should freeze as
is the case when it is not dry. He
also stated that it should be planted
early and on we'll prepared land. He
advised cultivating it shallow, but to
cultivate thoroughly. He stated that
the corn seemed to make fully as
much growth in the twenty-four hours
here as in the so-called corn belt,
undoubtedly due to the longer days
and the rich soil. The value of corn
crop as feed is known to all. This,
however, is not the only good from
corn, as it leaves the land in an ideal
condition for the succeeding crop of
grain. The cultivation which is CIV
en- it, prevents evaporation and stores
up moisture so that a crop of corn is
as good a preparation for grain as
