Remember now is the beginning of the commencement of house cleaning. Get all those old hard cotton, hair and moss mattresses out and call up and we will make them over into the latest style, and then when you go to bed you can rest. Half of your life is spent there and why should you sleep on those old hard Jumps, when We can thoroughly renovate the filling and make them into as good bed as If it had cost you $15. All this we will do for the next 30 days as follows: Good clean picking, double side stitched, price $5; good extra fine picking, rolled edge, side stitched, price $6. We clean car
 pets by electricity by putting the carpet into our wheel and start the wheel. It just tumbles over and over and knocks every germ out and the dust must go. Call us up both phones. Turner Bedding Factory, corner Martin avenue and State street.

tered, leaving farm machinery to the
value of $23,250,00O exposed to the sur
and weather
The same authorities, expert maehin-
cry men, assure me that exposed
machinery deterioates not less than Il
per cent annually from the effects OF
weather. This means a loss of an
proximately 81, 100000 annually to the
farmers of North Dakota. This annual
waste would, in five years, erect sheds
enough for all the machinery in the
state and, at the same time, save
millions of dollars. AS the sheds
"SNAAA so w Al q the SdN~
ing would approximate $4,000, OOO
above their cost, in Is years. AS the
number of farms increase, the saving
from properly sheltered farm machin-
cry will be proportionally greater.
Loss from Imperfect TilIage.
Another serious loss results from i'm
perfect or minus tillage. The land is
TOO often plowed very shallow, often a
l6-inch furrow being turned with a
14-1nch plow, and narrowed but once
before seeding, the purpose being to
seed the largest possible number of
acres during the season with a given
amount of labor
Such farm management does no. an
tlcipate large profit per acre, but a
small profit from each one OF many
acres. As matter of fact, however,
there can be no profit from crop
until the cost of production is deducted.
and this includes, among other things
seed, labor depreciation, taxes, insur-
ance, investment, etc.
Let us suppose that it requires 10
bushels of wheat per acre to pay the
cost of production. Should the crop
yield Is bushels per acre, the profit
would have to come out of the s
bushels, the amount each acre yields
above the cos of production. Suppose,
on the other hand, that by doing
good job of blowing, and dragging the
ground three times and discing it cnce,
and using the best of seed, the yield
would be 20 bushels per acre, the
profits would be more than doubled.
In other words, one 20-bushel crop cf
wheat Is more profitable than two Is
bushel crops; besides, a years time and
a years taxes are saved by the two
extra borrowings and one discing.

able laws. rigidly enforced.
Dockaae.
The Minnesota grain inspection de-
partment shows that the average dock
age per bushel ON wheat for two years
70 DC ~ ounces. On our North Dakota
crop or 9OO00,001 bushels it signifies
an annual loss to our farmers Of more
than 100000 bushels. This dockage is
very largely due to the presence of
the weeds not present, instead OF
weed seeds.
will venture the assertion that were
100000 bushels dockage, there would
nave been three bushels of wheat for
every bushel Of dockage, Or an in
creased yield of wheat equal TO 1000 :
5000
This estimate Is based upon the as
sumption that had land been free from
weeds, the same amount of pIant food
moisture, and labor would have con-
Irlouted TO the large yield of wheat
The weeds represent waste of energy
as Wen as waste of moisture and plant
1000 which had as easily been turned
INTO pront. There would also be the
iessened strain on machinery, the saw
ing OF the cost of Irvine to bind up the
weeds, freight charges for shipping
"eeu SEEDS, ETC., together with the
satisfaction of being a good farmer.
ADD to this approximately $4,000 900
bushels of oats, barley, fax, rye, and
speltz, all of which are similarly af-
fected by weeds and the total loss. in
Guiding wheat, will not fail short Of
$4,000, 900.
1t will be observed that the National
Fruit Growers figures are far in ex-
cess Of mine.
This is a severe indictment, however,
for weeds, and believe my estimate
for North Dakota is more than Ger
sentative
However, 1t might prove a.. inter-
esting experiment for the doubter to
disprove either estimate. Blu. the rem
edy is not far to seek. Deep blowing
systematic rotation of crops abundant
and thorough cultivation and clean
seed. Where noxious weeds. such as
Canada thistle, quack grass, sow this
tie or wild oats have already obtained
foothold, they must be given special
treatment, while TIE mustards, king
head, etc. may be destroyed by use of
spraying devices. The farm must be
managed with a view t. the subsection
and final elimination of weeds, and not
merely to create some sort of seed bed
to receive the grain Once it is
cleaned up, the. country can be Kept
clear of troublesome weeds. but as be-
fore stated, all must work together.
Unsheltered Farm Machinery.
Again, who can estimate the annual
loss the farmers of this state sus-
tain on account of machinery exposed
to the open weather? The unsheltered
tarm implements are a tremendous
leak, but easily remedied

Poviau VIII Be Reoaired.

The repairing of the Chestnut
street paving, which has been un-
der consideration by the city adj
ministratiou since shortly after the
acceptance of and payment for
same, bids fair to come to head.
Contractor Mcdonnell, who did
the work, has been repeatedly re-
minded of it's detects, and his bonds
men have also been on his trail. At
the last session of the council, how
ever, a. motion by Alderman Boylan
that the clerk notify the bonding
company that unless. such repairs
were made within thirty days the
city would make same at company
expense met with unanimous favor
of the council.
Mr.. McDountli received an euor-
nous price for the Chestnut street
paving, but the appearance of the
work would indicate an idea that
he was building a Miller Trunk
Road for inspection and acceptance
by former board of county com.
missioners.
