OF Interest to Book Lovers.

This is an age of books, and
every intelligent reader feels
the need of keeping informed
on the best among the thou
sands of new volumes that
come from the press every
year. The best way to do this
is to subscribe for a good met
ropolitan newspaper that prints
daily reviews of the most inn
portant books as fast as they
appear. The Chicago Record
Herald is generally conceded
to be the leading literary daily
west of New York. It gives
more attention to books than
any other Chicago paper treat
ing them as legitimate theme
of everyday news and covering
the whole range of current lit
erature as if it believed books
were actually as interesting to
its readers as, say, the pork
market or the latest murder
It's literary department, under
the editorship of Edward L.
Shuman, is undoubtedly the
most complete and the most
ably conducted in the west.
Mr.. Shuman's literary judg-
ments are eagerly sought by
authors themselves and are
quoted all over the country,
and so fale those Of his able
corps Of skilled assistants.

Bottineau Defeats RoIette.

A picked team of the School
of Forestry and high school
went to Rolette Tuesday to
play the team of that town,
which resulted in victory for
the home boys by score of 43
to rs.
Our boys had disbanded over
ten days ago but put up the
usual strong game. The fea-
ture of the game was the free
throwing of Lennon of the
Rolette team who threw II out
of 16 chances.
The Bottineau team was
composed of Minkel. Smith,
Leveille. Dinwoodie, Meighen
and Macarthur. ID. A. Nc
Arthur accompanied them and
acted as referee.

Walter Littlefield's weekly
news letter from New York

literary tastes prefer the Rec
ord-Herald to all other Chicago
morning papers.

The Farmers Institute

Palmer made the following e
statements: A seed is COM
posed CT two parts the little
plant and the store of food.
This can be seen in a bean very
nicely. Separate the two
Ihalyes and one can see the lit
tie plant and the halves are the
store of food. If the seed is
plump there is good store of
food and the little plant will
Iget good start. While on the
other hand if the seed is
shrunken it means that there
is but small store Of food and
the plant will get a poor start,
will be runt plant. He ad-
|vised selecting out the largest
seeds by carefully tanning the
grain and to fan it several
time if necessary to get the
very best of it.
In talking of corn Mr.. Gregg
said that he had been all over
the state and had found that it
is being grown successfully all
over the state, and predicts
that it will be one of the promi-
nent crops of the state. The
corn has a double value. 1t
produces valuable crop and
then it has as good an effect on
the soil as the bare fallow as
far as the following crop is
soncerned; thus giving a good
crop and at the same time inn
proving the soil. He stated
the seed corn should be select
ed in the field before frost, and
fire dried. This gives the corn
more vitality and it will not
then be hurt if it should freeze.
Corn thus selected and cured
can be frozen back twice in the
spring and will still come. 1t
is we'll to plant early when one
has such seed. He prefers to
Eplant on fall blowing as that
gives a chance to kill weeds
before the corn is planted.
Bothspeakers discussed trees.
They made the following state
ments: There is not enough
moisture here to grow both
trees and grass and weeds.
But that if the trees are given
full possession of the ground
they will grow very we'll.
They also showed how the tree
roots extend out as far as the
branches and in many cases
farther, so in cultivating go
out from the trunk a little
farther than the branches, and
do not let any weeds grow as
they pump out moisture and
the tree will suffer. They ad-
vised planting a windbreak of
willows and to have it at least
ten rods from the buildings
and yards. Plant the wind
break on the north, west and
south sides and enclose a large
enough space, as back of the
windbreak a good many trees
as we'll as fruit can be grown.
The sooner the hedge is started
the soner these other things
can be started.
In the evening Mr.. Gregg
gave talk on the South and
the conditions that he found
there
