The Business Instinct.

An English farmer, taking his little
son with him, was going to the
polling station to give his vote. On
the way he met friend on the same
errand, and the two entered into con-
versation. After an excited and heat
ed argument about the budget they
came to blows. The poor lad was
much frightened, and, seeing that his
father was getting the worst Of 1t,
suddenly called out to him:
"Hit him in the watch, father;
thatll cost him something!"

how to begin them and plant the
seed, etc.
In its paragraph planning the
school garden, the Fower Mission
states that the school garden at
jamestown, N. D., is of a design
that would be difficult to improve
upon; this garden won the first prize
offered by the Mission for the best
photograph OF a school garden last
season. A. G. Crane, superintendent
was the successful manager of the
work at jamestown. Another pic
ture in the magazine shows clear
photograph of all the school children
who worked in the jamestown gar
den together with Prof. Crane, over
sixty Jamestown children are seen
and under the photograph is the
statement 1--WE won first prize for
best photograph of school gardens. :"
Historically, gardens for instructions
have been an educational feature
for many centuries, states the Mis-
sion. Nearly twenty-five hundred
years ago Persian boys received in
structions in agricultural and hor-
icultural, in gardens set auart for the
purpose. Through the middle ages,
gardens for educational purposes ex-
listed throughout central Europe. The
first definite movement in recent
years for establishing school gardens
was in Austria in 1869, when law
was passed instituting gardens in
connection with all schools in coun-
try districts. Statistics on the sub
ject are hard to procure, but an idea
of the extent to which this branch
of education is carried on in Europ-
can countries may be gained from
the statement that in Austria there
are not less than eight thousand
school gardens. In Sweden two
thousand, while in France practical
gardening is taught in twenty-eight
hundred primary and elementary
schools.
The prize was won in competi-
ton with gardens in New York, In
diana, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and Washington, D. G:

we see this great and powerful coun-
try, that but a little more than cen
tury ago there were but a few set
Elements along the Atlantic coast.
It is hard for us to conceive the
difficulties that Washington had to
contend with. We have his life be-
fore us, his name is hung up by all
history as conspicuous as If it spark
eled in one of the consultations of
the sky.
The fame that he enjoyed is the
kind that will last forever. Some
future plutarch will search for a par
allel to his character. 1t is very diff
ficult to compare Washington with
any other man, even with Lincoln,
with Bonaparte, Caesar, Alexander or
'vederick the Great. He lived in a
different time and it is probable that
full justice will never be done to
him. Full justice can never be done
to the memory of man like Wash
ington. The best that we can do is
to keep the history of his life and
his examples in our schools, to teach
future generations to emulate his .ex-
ample and his life; and if we and our
descendants, will emulate the life
Of Washington, and follow his ex-
ample, there is no fear for the fu-
ture of this country. He laid the
foundation of a great union, a union
that was to be>the home of millions
of freemen. He left to us a legacy
of unselfish devotion, of patriotism,
and of an unblemished Christian
life. There is not a stain on his
character. He never had any child
ren. 1t has been beautifully said
that God left him ,childless so that
the whole country might call him
father. I cannot better express the
place he occupies in the hearts of his
countrymen than to respect what has
been so often said. He was first in
war, first in peace, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen.

GROW CORN

Many ci Tie fields in this state are
not raising the number of bushels
OF wheat per acre that they formerly
did Just the whole reason for this
is hard to find. Some say one thing,
and some say another. However,
the fact remains. Nor is this true Of
North Dakota alone. Iowa, Mime
sofa and Wisconsin used to be wheat
The farmers must raise corn. 1t
has been alleged that this is an i'm
possibility, and the same was once
said of Minnesota also of Iowa, yet
Iowa is now one Of the greatest
corn states in the northwest, and
Minnesota is annually raising more
A few made the effort to raise corn
here, and have been rewarded with
conspicuous success. One of these
successful experimenters is Mr.. Rich
ard Pendray, who farms good sized
piece of land some six miles west of
jamestown, and who ably represented
this county last winter in the legisla-
ture. Mr.. Pendray tried a generous
field of corn last spring, planted IT
as early as possible, fulfilled every
condition for its successful growth
that he knew how, and was more
than satisfied with the results: The
fodder is being used as feed for cat
tie, and the corn itself is fattening q
fine bunch of hogs that will come into
the market in time to catch, the $40
per hundred price, that is now pre-
vailing. A few efforts to raise corn,
may fail, but there is no doubt but
that in a few years these prairies
will become some of the greatest corn
fields in the northwest. If Mr., HilI-
If correct in his judgment that we
will be importing wheat for home
consumption in less than five years..
corn will supply the place as a less
expensive food stuff for many a Ia

state read, experiment and grow corn.
