-:>HMEkS' CAUCUS.
Believe That They are Ones to De-
eide County Seat Site.

Minot-Fully 300 farmers, residents
and taxpayers Of the new county Of
Renville, gathered at a grove short
distance from Greene Wednesday and
the county seat was the general theme
Of discussion.
The farmers believe that they are the
ones directly interested in the loca-
ton Of the county seat, and that the
petty jealousies Of the various towns
should not enter into the fight. They
believe that the county seat should be
located at point where it will be Of
the greatest benefit and convenience
to the greatest number Of people. ii
The farmers selected the three dele
gates from each township, and the idea
was to hold caucus and decide what
point the majority favored for the To-
cation Of the seat of government.
Thirteen townships were represented
at the meeting by thirty EIGHT dele
gates, one delegate being unable to
attend the caucus; q secret ballot was
suggested to determine the sentiments
Of the delegates as to what point they
believed the most advantageous for the
location of the new county seat. The
ballot showed thirty-s seven votes for
Greene and one for Mckinney. ,

CONSERVE MOISTURE IN SOIL
tors In Saving Rain - Il
Falls On Our Land.

By w. c. PALMER, Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Cojlege.)
Weather is one Of the things that Is
looked upon as being beyond the reach
Of mans manipulation, and It 10 one
Of the important factors in crop pro-
duction. Experiments have been con-
Quoted to try to make It rain. but end
ed in failure. It has been found that
the same end can be accomplished In
q different way, that is by saving the
rain that falls on our land and not
letting 1t escape except as the crops
need It. This ia not as attractive q
way as the other one, which was to
be accomplished by the shooting of
cannons, the sending up Of explosives
to startle the heavens. There Is not
SO much glamor i. ed to t.,-e use
Of the plow and the I row, yet they
are mighty tools that are at the very
foundation Of our exie. .-lca Id ciyiE-
zation. and as wish to advance and
on q substantial basis it via !cye to
come largely through the more intelli-
gent use of these two simple tools,
and they are the ones we will use In
controlling the weather. .#
AS the soil lays it compacts. The
particles making it up gradually tit
closer to each other, good deal like
the bricks in the wall. Flowing
loosens UP the SOIL a good deal like
throwing bricks into pile. The CON-
pact soil does not allow the water that
falls as rain to soak in rapidly. and
some of it will run off,. If this run
off can be saved it will be the equiva-
lent of making it rain. Deep plowing
makes more room for taking in rain
fall than shallow blowing; hence, one
reason for deep plowing. The plow-
ing, however, leaves the surface Of the
soil so that some of the moisture al
ready in it will evaporate, and especi'
ally will this be true In the spring.
This can be prevented by narrowing
the soil as soon as it Is plowed. When
plowing in the fall there usually is
not much moisture in the soil, so it
is best not to harrow it, as 1t is bet
tor to leave it rough to 60 through
! the winter, unless a crop Is to be put
/ on in the fall.
! Prof. King of Wisconsin found that
as much as one-half to one inch OF
soil moisture might evaporate from
the plowed ground in the spring, so
that this would be the amount that
could be saved by narrowing, which
would be the equivalent Of rainfall
of one-half to one inch little later
in the season, as when the rain once
gets into the soil it can be held there
until the crops need It, Narrowing
loosens up the surface, but when left
! for some time, settles back again and
| then allows the moisture to pass up
! through the surface 50 that another
narrowing may become necessary.
The cultivation given corn is ideal
;, for saving moisture. While the corn
crops use as much moisture as any
crop, yet it leaves more in the ground
than grain crops on account Of the oul.
tivation given 1t, which both keeps
moisture from evaporating and also
kills weeds, which would evaporate
large amounts Of moisture.
Moisture is the most uncertain part
of the weather. yet by using the plow
and the harrow it can to a large ex.
tent be controlled. Thus man Is be-
ginning more and more to make use
| of nature and to control it.

Mrs. CLARA FRANKS, Il. +. D., No. 3,
Knoxville, Iowa.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. 1t may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, inflam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indi-
gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra-
tion.
For thirty years Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe it to themselves
to at least give this medicine a trial
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should it

The Growth of seamssd.

Seaweeds vary surprisingly in
their habits of life. Some species
grow altogether beneath the water,
attaching themselves below the low
esttide level; others frequent heights
where they are left dry at every re-
treating tide, while others yet are
found in situations where they are
scarcely ever covered by water
Whereas most of them attach them
selves to rocks or solid bottom,
keeping to the shadows, there are
exceptions to the rule, among which
the most remarkable is the sargasso
or gulf weed, which floats on the
surface of the ocean. Immense
fields of it are seen by the navigator,
extending as far as the eye can
reach. 1t is sometimes so abundant
as seriously to interfere with the
progress of ships, and it was this
which so alarmed the crew of Co.
lumbus on his first voyage of dis
coYery.

a Genius That Touched the Line Oi-
vidins Sanity From Madness.

vidins Sanity From Madness.
If ever there was a genius it was
Paganini. the yiolinist, and proba-
bly, no one has ever approached so
near without crossing the border
line that divides sanity and mad
ness. The stories Of his antics and
eccentricities are endless. His up
bringing was atrocious, but it will
not explain everything. AT sixteen
he was d gambler, roue and-a
genius. Everything seemed to turn
to gold under his marvellous fingers.
Money poured in upon him like wa
ter. Yet he was at one time reduced
to the point Of selling his fiddle.
He had got down to his last 80
francs. He took them to the rou-
lette table, staked the whole sum on
one fling and-won.
The violin thus opportunely res
cued came into his possession very
curiously. When he was a lad. Par
SIM, the painter, came one day to
his fathers house and, putting into
the lads hand a priceless Stradi-
varius and the score of a concerto
of great difficulty, said:
"This," indicating the violin,
shall be yours if you play this" in
dicating the sheet of music, cat
sight without fault
"You have lost your instrument,
sir" said the youthful Nicolo and
proceeded to play the concerto
through.
Here is pen picture of the great
violinist by one who was present at
one of his triumphs
"He looked" saws this eyewit-
ness, '9ike an indilferently dressed
skeleton. His figure was Of aston
ishing gauntness and angularity and
his walk shambling and awkward
But his face, lit up by a pair of
great, dark, flaming eyes, was of
a pallor quite extraordinary, even
CHASTITY, and had a look of almost
eagle sharpness, sometimes varied
by sardonic grin or a look of al
most demoniacal fury. He came on
to the stage limping, having run a
nail into his heel. At all times odd |
looking, his appearance in these cir
was ludicrous, and there
was some tittering among the audi
ence.
GAS he stood, he settled himself
IN one hip at a gaunt angle, and
me found oneself wondering how
le could hold his violin, much less
LAY it. Just as he began a candle
ell on his desk-more laughter
Presently his first string broke
more laughter. But he played the
est of the piece through on three
strings, and now the laughter was
changed into tumultuous applause,
which as the evening wore on be-
,ame simply frantic"

less near allied.-London Family

How to Lisht a Solid Body.

Cadogan Morgan was the first
electrician to experiment with elec-
trio light in solid bodies. This was
in 1885. He first inserted two
wires into a stick Of wood and caus-
ed the spark to pass between them.
This had the effect Of illuminating
the stick a beautiful blood red. An
ivory ball, an orange or an apple
may be lighted in the same manner.
Some experimenters prefer the lem
on for this purpose, it being very
susceptible to the electric discharge,
flashing forth at every spark as a
spheroid Of brilliant golden light.
The wires used for this purpose
should be brought within about
half an inch of each other inside
the lemon.
