When people arrived at Regent, in
the very heart of the famous Black butte
country, and saw 30 business houses,
including three banks and four lumber
yards. on the ground as squatters, they
could not but realize the grand oppor-

Regent is nearly the geographical
center of Hettinger county. is miles
west of Mott and a like distance east
of New England, on the Cannon Ball
river branch of the Milwaukee Coast
line, already graded this far, and is
destined to become an important place.
The country tributary is probably the
richest spot of the Cannon Ball river
valley and hundreds of settlers are
already raising wheat, flax and other
crops in great abundance in this locality.
The railroad will be ironed this far
within a few months, which will be q

Moles are built particularly for

A mole's only true home, fortress

A mole will consume the weight OF

how soon mole will succumb without

Red Cross Christmas seals date
back in their origin to charity
stamps" FIRST used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1862, during
the Civil war After the war, this
method of raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a genera
ton, although it found vogue in Por-
tugal, Switzerland, Australia, France,
Spain, Denmark. Norway, Russia.
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types of charity stamps
used in all parts of the world.
Stamps OF seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade In Norway and Sweden in
1894. After being used in these coun-
tries for three years, as direct re-
suit of the interest of Jacob Riis in
this movement. the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis association, headed by
Miss Emily p. Bissell, and the Red
Cross society of Delaware combined
in issuing a tuberculosis stamp. So
successful was this campaign that

Cross was induced to issue a national

is organized on comprehensive
basis, taking in ALI parts of the

VALUE OF PROPER DRAINAGE
In FleIds-Few Dollars Will Make
Valuable Yields of Corn.
By PROF. E. f. JONES'

(By PROF. E. Il. jONES.1
No farmer should dodge the wet
spots in his fields. A few dollars
spent in drainage will make these
spots yield valuable crops, and will
make the cultivation of the whole
field more convenient
Don't wait for nature to drain the
wet lands without assistance. Ma
ture alone did not remove the stumps
and stones from the wooded, stony
lands.
Don't let the damaging water get
on to land, If 1t can be prevented. An
ounce. of preventive is worth a pound
of cure in drainage.
Don't think 1t takes a wizard to lay
tile properly. Have a survey made
sufficient in detail to show that there
is sufficient fall An intelligent use of
this fall will then insure success.
Don't install part of a drainage
system to which the remainder of the
system cannot later be joined with
advantage.
Don't let the waste banks of bitches
grow up to weeds. Get them sodded
and make them both valuable and at
tractive.
Don't let outlet bitches remain idle
when they should be working. Have
surface bitches and tile to keep them
busy.
Don't spend dollor for small
bitches or tile on a marsh until an
outlet is assured.

RETURNING Fertility TO the Soil.


IN the wheat and corn belts farm
ers have long ago discovered that the
continuous sale OF their crops could
not be carried on indefinitely with
out impairing the fertility of the soil
Snd that they must have recourse to
live stock of some kind to return to
the land some of tn elements of
plant food taken from 1t by the crops
grown, thus preserving thier farms
in state of productivity more nearly
resembling the original condition Of
the soil. In the cotton belt the beef
breeds of cattle are only beginning
to take their rightful place among
other farm live stock. This is largely
owing to the prevailing idea among
farmers that raising beef steers for
market is not profitable.

shown that the mole effects detri-

and gardener. Indeed, 1t can be prov

When, however, the mole is charged
with disfiguring lawns and parks, de-
stroying flower beds, tearing up the

general nuisance in small garden

The diet of moles consists almost
exclusively of the various insects,
grubs and worms to be found In the
soil. The amount of vegetable sub
stance found in stomach examinations
is usually no more than might have
been taken in incidental to the inges-
ton of other food.
In the course of two years investi-
cations concerning the ways of the
mole, about 200 specimens were used.
From this number 100 were selected
SO as to include some from each
month in the year, in an examination
of the contents of their stomachs
Following is a summary of table of
contents resulting from this examina-
ton:
White grubs, 64 stomachs; earth
worms, 40; beetles, 81; beetle larvae,
"A; other larvae, %; centipedes, rs;
ants, 10; wasps, z; flies, 2; plant
fibers and rootlets, AZ; seed pods or
husks, 8; crickets, 10; insect frag-
ments, 81; puparia. 81; cocoons, 10;
spiders, %; grasshoppers, 2; bugs, !;
skin or grain of roots, 6; hair-worm, 1.
1t win be seen that a large item in
the stomach contents of moles is made
up Of white grubs, those scourges of
grass and other valuable plant roots,
the table showing that nearly two
thirds Of the moles had eaten white
grubs. One had performed the as
tonishing feat of eating IT'S, another
70, and another So. For his good
work in destroying grubs alone, there
fore, the mole deserves much credit.
