at the office one day this week for
the purpose of becoming a sub
scriber and getting acquainted with
those who are responsible for the
weekly appearance of the ADvo-
CATE. Mr.. Krogh comes from
Fargo, N. D., and finds the change
of claim life very agreeable to both
his health and inclination to take
life easy for a time, he having been
connected with a bank at Fargo
for several years and he therefore
enjoys this change OF life from his
former constant indoor work.
In response to the notice in the
ADVOCATE of last week a number
of young men met at Our office
Tuesday night and took the initial
steps toward organizing band.
There are several old players in

ments, which will form a nucleus,
around which a good band may be
built up with few months ofper-
sistent application to study and
practice. There will be another
meeting Monday night at the hall.

The Aberdeen Daily News OBJ
serves:
The Dewey County Advocate
is new paper just starting exis-
tence at Timber Lake, and it is a
creditable addition to the many
bright, handsome appearing week
lies west OF the river.
The Brookings Register says in
part:
while the Advocate is less than
a month old it looks to be pretty
healthy infant and should do much
to promote the growth and pros
perity Of Timber Lake. From it
we learn that there is merry
county seat war on in Dewey
county and Timber Lake is one o.
the contestants, with a very good
chance Of winning out
The Isabel News notices us thus
ly:
THE Dewey County Advocate,
Vol. I, No. 1, published at Timber

to be a cordial feeling between the
two editors which speaks we'll fol

as no doubt he will"
The Marietta (Minn.) News
concludes from Our appearance as
follows:
The Dewey County Advocate
published at Timber Lake, 5. D.,
is the latest addition to Our ex-
change table, and judging from its

That there is some use for the big
hats that are worn by women now

battleship Delaware on last Wednes-
day afternoon.

latter was with another woman friend
and did not know the man In question.
He was taking in the sights and was
much interested In what he saw.
Suddenly his glasses slipped from his
nose and as they did not drop 70 the
deck Of the vessel he surmised that
they had fallen over the side OF the
vessel
Looking down at the water the man
turned away with the remark. there

ing Immediately behind the man bu
they gave the matter only a passiny
thought. On reaching home severa
hours later they took on their hiatt
and both women noticed a pair o
| glasses reposing IN the trimmings Of
one OF the hats. The girls then re-
called the mishap which had befalen
the man on the warship and now they
are trying TO locate him TO return hts
glasses. The owner may have the

Prof. Milton Whitney, chief OF the
Bureau of Soils of the United States
Department of Agriculture, says that
the productivity of the newer agricui-
tural soils of the United States and of
the older agricultural soils of Europe,
taken as a whole and for the nation,
are not declining, as is popularity sup
posed. Individual farming deteriorates
and soils wear out, as they have al
ways done, but as a whole it seems
probable that we are producing more
crops an acre than formerly.
This is undoubtedly due to many
factors-to better and more intelli-
gent cultivation and more and better
systems of rotations of crops, and in
later years to the intelligent use of
fertilizers through measures of control
in the hands of every individual farm
er. In addition we must recognize the
increase in farm animals and stock,
the improvement in seed by selection
and breeding and increased density in
population, which is forcing attention
to more intensive methods. Prof. Whit
ney says that so far as his infOrma-
ton goes there is apparently no signiti-
cant difference at the present time be-
tween the composition Of the old agri-
cultural soils of Europe and the newer
agricultural soils Of the United States
with respect to potash, p%hosphoric
acid, lime and magnesia.
According to a very Die English
work, the course of Roman agriculture
was of the simplest Descriptions
crop of grain and then the land was
untitled or unseeded for a year or
more. Every year one-half of the ara
bic land was in grain and the other
half allowed to remain untitled. A
third of this was sown with a green
crop of some kind, to be given to the
cattle, and this was the only portion
of the idle land that received the bene-
fits of manure The result of this
mode was that the arabic land was
MANFRED once in six years, and, in
that period, produced three crops of
grain and one of green stuff. This sys-
TEN, by degrees, wore out the land. 1t
DOL the very heart out of it, so to
speak, so that, in the time of Varro,
a great falling off had taken place in
the returns for the quantity of seed
sown. Fifty years later Cicero gave
an account of the rich Sicilian lands,
and claimed two and a half bushels to
the statute acre. This we'll cultivated,
seemed to have yielded eight or ten
for one, equal to twenty or twenty-five
bushels. respectively. In another half
century Columella told US that over . |

Census reports tell us that in the
United States we have to-day at least
233, 59S,0S5 chickens, ~6.559.3G7 turkeys,
5~,676,SG3 geese and 4,SO7 ,35S ducks.
Poultry is an asset on at least ssh
per cen Of the farms of this country,
and at least $50, 900, 900 chickens. not
counting other varieties of poultry,
are consumed annually. The sCCre-
tary of the United States Department
of Agriculture says that our hens lay
about 1866, 060, 600 dozens Of eggs a
year, amounting to enough one to
pay the interest on the national debt.
Again, we are confronted with the
fact hat the poultry and egg crops
comprise 1913 per cent of the total
animal products Of this country, and
that, exclusive of the eggs and poultry
consumed by the n Of the hen,
the eggs alone bring annually $225,-
eco, 600 and the poultry crop is worth
$3.50, 600, 900 a year. Still further i'm
provement is shown in the fact that in
ten agricultural colleges poultry hua
bandry is taught.

Schnapps is a dachshund, and the
people who know all about the breed
call the queer looking animal hand
some. In the house in New York
where he is the pet he is credited with
more than ordinary dog sense and with
understanding every word said to him
in English or German. In order to
demonstrate his sagacity his master
said to him a few evenings ago:
"Schnapps, the young people have
been here long enough. Go down II
tell the boys to go home" Downstairs
he waddled and, standing before the
visiting youths, barked and howled,
then ran to the front door and back
again and kept up the performance
until, as his proud master explained,
the young men heard and saw the
point. Pretty smart for a dachS, eh?'

BUYING Trees,

The Ohio Experiment Station be-
lieves that it is a good plan for the
farmer to learn something of a mans
reputation through his neighborhood
before buying trees of him. Then, if
possible, go early in the season INC eX-
anime his trees. If an order is given,
specify that the trees must be of his
own growing and that there must be
no substituting. If ordering from a
distant firm, select those who advertise
in first-class periodicals., and specify,
as before, no substituting. Reputable
nurserymen and seedsmen try to keep
their stock pure and the varieties true
to name, but they often buy of others,
and mistakes may occur in handling.
If nurserymen and seedsmen are to be
censured more than other business
men for lax methods, say the direct
or of the Ohio station, it is because
they get stock from doubtful sources,
by exchange or purchase, and because
they so often substitute a variety which
is lust as good"

Rats.

Many devices have been recommend
ed for driving rate from premises.
Some are based on superstitiOns. but
it must be remembered that nothing
is gained when they are simply driven
from one place to another. Their de
struction must be sure and complete.
Traps are good, but the rats are so
cunning that after a few are caught
the others seem to understand and
stay away. 70 destroy rats. each even
ing when the COWS are MIXED place
a little fresh milk in shallow pans
around where the rats can get it. Keep
this up for a week until they get bold
and impatient for it. Then mix ar
senic in the milk and await results.
1t will kill every rat that likes milk,
and that means almost every one
