go, was tried in the Superior Court Of
Cook County, at Chicago, beginning
March 8th and ending On March 10th
with a verdict in favor of Mr.. David

The suits arose out of the serious in
%juries that Mr.. Davidson received on
the 3lst day of December: 1905, by the
explosion of a balance wheel OF a
woodsaw, on the Borden Farm near
Tonti, the saw having been purchased
by Mr.. Borden from Montgomery
Ward & Company.
The jury found by its verdict that
Montgomery Ward g. Company was
in fact the manufacturer of the balance
wheel in question, and that the wheel
contained defects, making itdangerous
and unsafe; and also that Montgomery
Ward & Company represented in its
catalogues that the wheel was made OF
the best material, etc.
They have one cataloguethat is fused,
entitled EARN Implements" and il
was from this catalogue that the wood

DEMONSTRATION
FARMS REPORT

The third annual report of the
demonstration farms is just from
the press. It gives the results
of last years work on each farm.
The twenty-one demonstration
farms are located at the following
places: Beach, New Salem, Bis
marck, Ross, Granville, Lakota,
Bathgate, Larimore, Page, Flax
ton, Darlington. Sanborn, Hazel.
ton, Washburn, jamestown,
Wahpeton, Portland Jet, Hoople,
Starkweather, Rugby, Mcleod.
A great many important state
ments are made, and among
others, this one: THE demon
stration farms indicate that any
farmer angrow an average yield
of wheat to exceed twenty bush
els per acre with ordinary farm
tools such as he is now using, if
he will keep enough stock to eat
up the corn produced on one-fifth
of his land and the hay and oats
produced on another fifth, and
applies the manure to the land.
also that larger yields will be Sc
cured by having one-ffth of the
farm in corn and another one fifth
in clover and the remaining three
tifths in grain" The report also
shows that on the six farms start
ed in 1906 the average yield for
last. year was 263 bushels. On
the six farms started in 1907 the
average yield was 224 bushels,
while on the eight farms started
last spring the average yield was
AZ bushels, all machine measure.
The average for the state was
about thirteen, which shows that
by using a rotation it has been
possible to double the yields in
three years.
It has been demonstrated that
the soil needs to be inoculated
for clover, which can be best
done by applying some soil from
a field growing clover success
fully.
These results will be particu
larly important as they have al
been carried out under actua
farm conditions.
Supt. Porter gives the follow
ing report for this spring: Win
ter wheat was tried on eight O.
the twenty-one farms and has
come through on some in fairly
good condition and has done bes
when sown in stubble. Glove:

where there has been incubation
Alfalfa has in all cases made
fairly good stand.
