Threshing.
IAN ordinary grain separator can
be used quite satisfactorily, depending
on the skill and care of the operator.
Under ordinary conditions the high
sped of the cylinder will crack the
peas. This can be overcome by re-
moving the concaves and substituting
blanks Of hard wood or iron. A larger
pulley should be used on the right sidA
of the cylinder shaft to reduce the
speed of the cylinder. A larger pulley
on the opposite side will maintain the
speed OF the separator. The following
method could be used If only a small
acreage were grown: Run the ma
chine slowly till full of vines and peas,
then stop feeding, speed up the ma
chine and separate the peas. Bean
and pea bullers will thresh peas as
successfully as grain separator will
thresh wheat. They can be purchased
for from $500 to $500 and run with a
five or ten-horsepower gasoline en-
CINE. A few farmers in a vicinity
could purchase one of these machines
for their own use If threshers do not
get them.
Yields.
Average yields are better than
wheat. Reports from North Dakota
are twenty to thirty bushels per acre.
Indian Head, Saskatchewan, reports
yield of forty to sixty bushels.
Benefits From the Crop.
LAS peas belong to the family Le-
gumo, they are in the same class with
clover as soil improver and are
nearly equal to it for that purpose.
Vines, if properly cured, make very
good feed. The crop can be harvested
before wild oats and mustard get ripe.
Pea stubble makes an excellent seed
bed for wheat without any prepare
ton, and makes it possible to grow
two profitable crops with one blowing.
Better crops of small grain usually
follow peas, in some cases yields be-
ing double. A friend of mine in Mich
igan sowed One-half field to peas and
one-half to oats. He harvested forty.
six bushels of peas per acre, followed
with wheat, and harvested seven BUSH
els more wheat per acre on pea stub.
BILE than on oat stubble."

The cost of manufacturing harvest
ing machines has been reduced to a
minimum, so that if their cost, which
lis often complained of by the farmer,
is to be materially reduced, some other
means than that of lowering the cost
|of production must be resorted to. 1t
is conservatively estimated that it
costs more to sell a binder and to COL
lect the money for it than it does to
manufacture it. The farmer is to a
large extent responsible for this state
of affairs, for by his attitude he forces
the companies who wish to do bust
ness with him to maintain an exten.
sive and complicated sales and col
lecting department when he might as

rectly. The companies are also forced
to maintain a large corps of experts
to not only set up and start new ma
chimes, but to repair old ones. During

ONE REASON FOR HIGH PRICE
OF MODERN FARMING MACHINERY

the months of harvest these men may
be found in every town and village
where an agency is maintained. Each
expert costs the company employing
them on an average Of Sc per day, and
it often costs the company several dol
lars to have these men drive out only
to replace worn knotter pinion or
tighten a few loose bolts. The COM
panies pay for the services of these
men, but it is ultimately collected
from the farmer by being added to the
price of his machinery. Binders are
now so simple and effective that there
is little excuse for calling on experts,
and the farmer who habitually does so
reflects on his own intelligence. I'm.
der the present system the farmer
who repairs his own machines is justly
entitled to rebate, and if all farmers,
by studying the mechanism of their
binders, would become their own bin
der experts, a substantial reduction
in the present price of harvesting ma
chinery could be justly expected.

OTHER CITIES FORCED TO ABAN.
DON SPRlNKLiNG AND OTHER
MOVES.
Bismarck Has Never Looked Greener
Or Fresher Than at the Present
Season - Water TOR All.

Bismarck is one OF the few cities
in the country that has not had to cur
tail the use of water because Of the
dry weather. In the various cities
Of the state there has been a shortage
of water. and in some instances lawn,
sprinkling has been limited to an
hour each day and street sprinkling
abandoned altogether. In the larger
cities of the country there has been
shortage of water and consequen,
limitation of use by consumers. Bis
marck never looked greener and
fresher than this year, and lawns
and gardens have thriven during the
dry spell because Of the abundant
water supply.
The following from the St. Paul
Dispatch snowy conditions in some
Of the larger cities:
Beware You men who sprinkle
the lawn!
II you are caught using water for
this purpose between the hours of s

water will be shut off by order of the
board Of water commissioners.
This is the mandate which has gon.
forth from the water board:
Whereas, owing to the eXtraord
mary dry weather and increased con-
sumption Of water, which reduces the
pressure in the water mains to such
an extent as to render it imperative
to limit lawn sprinkling; therefore,
be it
Resolved, that lawn sprinkling be

this order by any person, the secre-
tary is instructed to cause the water

Therefore. beginning today. there
will be no sprinkling excepting for
one hour out of the twenty-four.

Secretary Caulfield yesterday, land it

Representatives of the Western

the state and how that little was done
at a loss. A number OF county audi

is expected that the actual work of
the board will be started today.
There is not much likelihood that
there will be any change in the per.
centage of various classes of proper
ty and there will be no change in the
levy and the natural increase in the
amount OF taxable property in the
state will be allowed to take care of

INTERESTING PAPER READ
BEFORE v. {. 7. j. MEET
HELD At M'KENzIE RECENTLY

Is the individual voter responsible
for existing conditions?
The question of the responsibility.
Of the individual voter has been dis
cussed by able men and women fol
ages and still remains a debatable
question.
The placing of responsibility begar
in the Garden of Eden, when Adam
sat under tree and ate of the forbid
den fruit Eve brought to him. What
a difference it might have made tc
their descendants if Eve had sat under
the tree and sent Adam after the ap
pie! If he was like the Adams Of
today he would have hunted around
a while, then come back and handed
her persimmon or lemon, of which
she would have partaken, and We
might yet be living the simple life.
+ That there is a grave responsibility
connected with every privilege OF the
voter all concede. There are very few
natural born American voters who dc
not realize and appreciate the right OF
franchise, proud of his part In the
d
mite to secure good government in
county, state and nation; ever ready
to give his time and money to the
cause. Nevertheless it is never end
ing fight and at times seems utterly
useless to longer strive against such
odds as the irresponsible voter.
Many of them exist-lgnorant for.

our language, who care nothing for
our laws only so far as the immigra-
ton and naturalization laws affect
them in landing and becoming part
of this great nation. They help to
swell the majority in county, state and
national affairs of the greatest import
ance to every man, woman and child
within its boundaries.
Does the responsibility fall on the
irresponsible men or on the men who
make the laws or the voters who elect
them? You might 60 around these
questions for all time and there would
be complications to be explained, but
come straight at the question, every
man is responsible for his vote or
the right to vote should be withheld.
There has always been men with
the power to scheme and to manage
men with less intelligence, who take
no thought of how they will vote only
to sell to the highest bidder. Men
who control this class of illiterates do
harm only to gain the cleo
ton of their candidates, who reward
them by giving them positions of trust
and honor, which they are not capable
of filling.

politics in county for years, ignor-
ing the wishes of the people in the
selection of men for office, to further

vancement, does the responsibility res;
with him or with the voters who, by
working as faithfully as he in securing
votes, exposing the illegal methods he
employs, meteing out the punishment
prescribed by law for such offences?

politics a cleaner, nobler and purer
method of placing before the voters

men would feel that they were placed

the people for the peoples good and

1t takes men with great strength OF

The machine made candidate often
forgets the oath he took, his obliga-

Where each individual voter is
made to feel the power he Yields for

though he has but one vote. that one
vote may decide for the right man in

time to look into the character and
lives of men running for office and be
able to judge of their fitness to fill
their positions.
Men elected by means of money fur
