surance company.
The meeting was conducted by Supt
Hoverstad who was assisted by E..
H. Pierce, assistant Dairy Commits
sioner. w. r. Porter !supt. of Demon
strations Farms and w. c. Palmer,
Ayr. editor Of the Ayr College.
1t was learned that several of the
farmers had raised fine crops of corn
this year, corn that had matured
enough so as to be alright for seed.
That is fine demonstration of what
can be done in an adverse season
Late frost, dry weather, and early
frost. This is a test that certainly
demonstrates what can be done with
corn here. ..-. ... . ...
Prof. Palmer then took up discus
sion of the corn crop. He stated that
the Indians grew corn ever further
north than here and that it is the
same corn that we are growing to-
day, that has been improved: Fall
blowing was recommended, narrowing
early in the spring to warm it UP so
as to warm up the sell to let the weeds
ger1nlinate, harrow a couple of times,
then disc, thoroughly before planting.
This will Xiii the weeds that have
started. On spring blowing there are
more weeds to kill in the corn. Har-
row as soon as the corn is planted,
and harrow at intervals Of every ten
days till the corn is four to five inches
high. Then cultivate, and shallow as
the roots go quite near the surface.
Whether the corn is to be used for
fodder, for ensilage or for the ears 1t
should be allowed to get amost ripe
before cutting as 1t increases In food
value till It Is ripe. He thought the
the most valuable thing about the
corn crop for the present was the good
effect that it mas in preparing the
soil for crop of grain.
Keep an account with the cows az
to the feed fed and as to the mill
given was the burden of talk by
Mr. Pierce. He related how he had
assisted in checking up on herds and
1t was found that there could be con
siderable saving by feeding the COW
in proportion to the feed given. One
pound of feed to three pounds Of mill
was the ratio given. To warn
the water will enable the cows t
drink more and thus to increase the
milk flow. The COWS should not b
worried by dogs, this h one Of tn.

Just there agents securing the country
representing eastern seed houses. These concerns
may be prosperous enough--they charge enough for
what they sell the people-but it is fact we'll
known, though too seldom considered by our far
mers that one of the main reasons for the spread
of noxous weeds in this state, is through the agency
of these foreign seed houses, selling impure seed
1t is strange fact that North Dakota seed house
does not dare to sell seed unless it has first been
tested by the pure seed commissioner as to its
purity and It's other qualities, yet the North Dakota
farmer can send out of tine state and buy any old
kind of inferior seed. The Independent for many
reasons would like to see farmers stick to the
home seed dealer He's here to make good II for
any reason the seed is not right. and besides on
account of North Dakotas very strict seed law he
is compelled to test every lot OF seed before plac-
ing It on the market. Minot has a seed concern
which is perfectly reliable. YouW get perfectly

Prof. Hoverstad discussed the silc,
or making sour krout tor the COWS.
He discussed the merits of this way
of curing feed for the COW. A silo
16 feet in diameter and 80 feet high
will hold 1875 tons and will cost from
$3.50. to $500. and it requires a cutter
to put the ensilage into It and an en-.
CINE to drive the cutter. When put
ting it into the silo it should be tramp
ed, he suggested that it would he

fellow as it would keep him moving
to keep from being covered up. When
asked as to whether the cows would
eat it at first, said that they would as
far as he had tried, but that if they
would not he thought that they would
not be thought that they would be
like the pigs THAT were being fed a
new kind of feed that the farmer pull
ed their ears of getting them to it and
them pulled their tails of trying to
get them away from it. Freezing will
not hunt tine ensilage. When it thaws
out, it seems to be as good as ever.
If the corn is frosted before putting
into the silo, that does not seen to
hurt it either.
Supt. Porter in his talk on rotation,
brought out the increase in yield
that he had secured on the Demon
stration farms by rotating the crops.
The fields that had been in the ro-
tan0n for three years gave an aver
age of 261k bushel last year, those
that had been rotated two years 22A
bushel, first year 141s, while the aver
age for the state was 10 bushel. This
year tine average on the demonstration
farms was bushel while the average
of the state was but AZ. The rota-
ton that is practised, is corn follow
ed by two crops Of wheat followed by
a crop Of timothy and clover when ne
can get a stand. When it fails, he
puts in peas and oats, then grain
crop and back to corn again. He
manures the corn crop. For half
section farm this would mean 60 acres
of corn, $50 acres of grain, wheat,
oats or barley and 60 acres Of clover
and Timothy or peas and oats in case
tine other failed. Leaving 20 acres for

to spend it in.
g. The best citizens in this community are those
who believe in and practice home patronage. Be
one Of the best
8. The merchants in the distant city give YOU
nothing valuable that the home merchants cannot
give you.
10. Every dollar kept in circulation IN this conn.,
munity helps increase property values Every
dollar sent out of the community that could have
been spent here binders the wheels of progress and
helps build up other community at your ex
pense.-Exchange.
TEN REASONS.
Why Merchants Should Patronize Home Printers.

those who practice, well as preach, home pat
ronage. Are you one of them?

If there is one baleful, blighting octupus that is
doing more than any other to cause our farmers to
grind their lives out in ceaseless effort to con-
tribute their share to the golden stream that flows
INCREASINGLY in never various stream into it's bulg-
ing Golfers that one is the harvester trust through
courtesy more often called the International Har-
,vester company. If such thing is possible the
making of machine that, all told costs less than
fifty dollars and sells for one hundred and eighty
should be prohibited. If there are no laws suth
GENTLY powerful to grapple with this monster, why
not urge representatives to make laws that will
be powerful and wide enoughto carry the fight to the
supreme court any way OF course, the people will
probably lose out in that case, but they are used
to that anway-Rugby Optimist.
In recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post
writer deals with the two years that president Taft
has been in power, and the question is asked "Will
Taft Come Back?" TAFT, all know, is not a pop
ular President and it cannot be said that ne is
particularly unpopular. The people as rule look
upon him man who has not made good, though
at heart he's all right. He simply has gotten in
wrong" He's listened to such leaders as Cannon,
and Aldrich, until the American people have little
confidence in his ability. About the best thing that
conduct his affairs during the next two years indie
pendent of the men vino have advised him poorly.
If he doesn't the Republican party will go down
and out with him. He's the only man who can
rescue the party from it's present chaotic state.
Governor Burkes position is not to be enved at
this time. The Governor has a good many appoint
ments to make and in this capacity he has always
been dismal failure. It always seems to worry
the Governor, the selection OF fill the various
appointive Offices Honest John" is too accom-
modating tor his own good He'd like to please all
Of those who have worked untiringly for him, but
there simply not offices enough to go round.
WeM have to create some offices, that's all.
If the Governor would just get the habit of appoint
ing the best men for the places to be filed and
then send the other fellows back to their homes
he'd satisfy his constituents better and he would
the disappointed fellows a lot of worry and
unnecessary expense.
The editor of the Bottineau News writes of the
proposed constitutional amendment in no uncertain
tones, follows:
An amendment has been proposed to the state
constitution to elect the state supreme judges for
term of 10 years instead of six years. This should
be voted down. 1t is easy enough to get a crook
the bench, but 10 years is too long to keep him
there Even six years is too long. The farther you
the courts from the people, the less justice
the people will get and the more decisions will be
courts for instance where the judges appointed
for life. How much justice can poor laborer get
from these courts?
