.ELKS HONOR
THEIR DEPARTED
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES HELD
AT ELKs CLUB ROOMS YEsTER-
DAY AFTERNOON - BEAUTIFUL
TALKS MADE BY PRESIDENT
WORST AND JUDGE MILLER.

! The annual memorial service of the
Elks yesterday afternoon at their club
rooms on Second avenue north were
beautiful and impressive. The cere-
monies were largely attended and the
appealing music and beautiful talks
by President Worst of the Agricultural
college and Judge Miller were deeply
appreciated.
The programme Of the afternoon was
opened at o'clock by selection rem
dered by Rupert's orchestra, under the
special direction of Bro. A. o. Rupert.
Rev. r. A. Beard offered prayer ap-
propriate to the occasion, which was
followed by the opening ode by the
order Of Elks. The names OF the de-
parted members of Fargo lodge NO.
260 We're read. The deceased brothers
for 1910 are j. f. Thompson. Martin
Ryan, f. e. Dibley and William Soren-
son.
Wagner's Sublime Evening Star
from Tannhauser, was the next number
rendered by the Rupert orchestra. Bro.
j. Fl. Worst followed with his address
on the work of the order and touched
upon the lives of those who had
passed away, in whose honor the serv-
ices were held. He spoke Of the me-
cessity of human endeavor, the every.
day life Of men and their contact with
their fellows, and the need for upright
and moral energy and activity in all
lines.
Mrs. e. r. Wright rendered with
great feeling a vocal number in which
she was accompanied by Miss Minnie
Carpenter with violin obligato and Miss
Mae Elliott on the piano. Bro. H. f.
Miller followed with the eulogy, which
was given in his usual impressive ana
happy manner. Bro. Ernest r. Or
ehard's vocal selection delighted his
audience. He was accompanied on the
piano by Miss Ivy Conant.
The services closed with special ex-
ercises by the order used only for
Memorial day, which was followed by
the singing of the doxoIogy and final
benediction by Judge Miller. Beautifur
souvenir programmes were presented
with white carnations.

INTERPRETATIVE
RECITAL GIVEN
A LARGE CROWD HEARD MUsl-
CAL FAIRY OPERA AT GRAND
FREE LECTURE ASSOCIATION
HAENsEL AND GRETEL, THE
PRODUCTION.

! The Grand theatre was packed last
night and the S. r. o. sign was in
B evidence, when Prof E A Boehmor
gave an interpretative recital of En-
gerlbert Humperdinck's fairy opera
Haensel and Gretel. He was assisted
in the production Of the musicale by
Mrs. E. r. Wright. Miss Lancetta
Steele and Miss Marguerite Beard
Proceeding the introduction of the
programme Professor Boehmer gave a
history Of the opera and told of the
wonderful success that it had won in
tho hearts OF the Germans, as well as
other nationalities. The opera was
originally written by sister OF the
composer to be used as a little play
to be given at home party. The
sister asked her brother. Englebert, to
write few short melodies for the
piece.
Humperdinck started to work on the
musical elements of the play and he
became so enthused over the posi-
bilities Of the little plot that he set
to work to make a grand opera of the
fairy story which was to be staged
In two years he had finished the score
which as judged by Strause to be one
Of the most remarkable musical pro-
auctions of the stage.
The plot of the play and the move
ment of the music and character was
carefully explained as the opera pro-
crossed. by Professor Boehmer. At
the different places the vocal num-
bers were cleverly produced by the
ladies caring for the different char
acters OF the play. Miss Steele car
rled the part of Gretel in a most able
manner and Mrs. Wright handled the
character Haensel in very nice fash
ion. Miss Beard interchangably took
the part of the other characters and
did so with much credit.
The music of the production was
very fine and the large audience
showed it's appreciation of the score
by the enthusiastic applause given the |
artists.

cestors, Who Grasped Prey
With Their Teeth.

The further away we journey from
the days of Eve, the more a~ssiduously
the world seems to have cultivated
the habit of kissing; in other words,
kissing is a mark and a test of civil
ization. Before the coming of the
white man it apparently was totally
unknown among the Indians Of Amer
lea and the savages of Africa and
Australia; but who shall trace its be-
ginning among the peoples of Europe
and Asia? AS far Is we may go
among these ancient white nations
we shall find no age when this highly
unhygienic practise was not popular.
Indeed, Darwin attempts to trace 1t
back to the habit our detailed an
cestors had of grasping prey with
their teeth!
This business of ~osculating became
so popular among the Greeks that it
is said many husbands, before start
ing out for the days work, compelled
their wives to eat garlic-a most eff
fective preventive, we cannot doubt.
The Romans attempted to be
cold-blooded and dignified. They were
at least more systematic, for they d.
vided all kisses into three kinds-the
osculum, the kiss of friendship; the
basium, the kiss Of ceremony. and the

simply implies that the Romans had
three chances to our one. The an
clients, however, were not in favor
of a public display of the business;
spooning was decidedly bad form.
Plutarch says that Cato expelled the
Senator Manlius for kissing his wife
in the daytime and in the presence
of his daughter.
This same Plutarch is our author

founded the now antiquated custom

che disk off the ground. If the disk
has a solid tongue without joint, a
small buck can be put under the
tongue and the whole machine lifted
by leverage on the tongue. 1t can be
held off the ground by a couple of
pieces of two-by-six with a piece OF
two-by-four nailed under them, to keep
them from tipping. Put the crank
over the nut at the end of the disk. A
buggy wrench can be used, or If you
have none that fits, make a wooden
handle, as shown in the small sketch,
with the end sawed out to fit over the
unit. Put a small bolt across the jaw
of the handle to tighten it over the
nut. One does the turning and the
other holds an old wet broom against
the revolving disks until they are
clean. When they are dry hold an
old paint brush dipped in oil against
the disks and revolve them. It takes

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Bone meal is an excellent fertilizer
for garden plants, and its use is high
ly recommended.
The Tunis sheep is entirely free
from Objectionable flavor, as are all
breeds of fat-tailed sheep.
Rape, in addition to making a fine
pasture for the pigs, is not so easily
destroyed as an alfalfa field.
If the vines make too rapid growth,
pinch off the ends. This will strength
en- the vines and increase the fruit
age.
If the apple trees in the old orchard
have good, sound trunks, do not de-
stroy them, but renew them by top
grating.
After all that may be said in favor
of other pastures, clover stands at the
head when it comes to the right thing
for pigs.
A Missouri man says he uses bone
meal literally around his melon vines
and 1t effectually keeps away the
striped bugs.
The very earliest varieties of sweet
corn are usually small and unsatisfac-
tory. Better wait a week for the bet
ter varieties.
While goats are hardy, the best re-
suits cannot be obtained unless they
receive as good care as sheep. They
must have good feed and shelter and
dry land to live upon.
Cultivate your garden plants con-
stantly, no matter If the weeds are
not abundant. Cultivation keeps the
surface fine and prevents the escape
of moisture from the soil.
The sleepy taste often found In NUT
ton does not come from contact Of the
flesh with the wool, but from some
peculiar flavor in the inner or Sec
ondary skin, which is released by cook
ing.
Don't forget to plant the gladiolus
every two weeks for succession. Plant
ed among roses, or with a background
of evergreen trees, the beauty and
grace of these tall flowers no one will
deny.
Arkansas authorities are encoura-
ging cultivation Of rice. In the little
towns of Weiner, Stuttgart and Walden
burg, a large German colony for this
purpose is being formed. Its mem
bers come from all parts of the Union.

HUMUS IN THE SOIL
Wretched Condition Of Farms
Caused by Lack Of Vital
Attribute.
Failure to Realize Importance Of This
Most Vital Question, Restoration
Of Plant Food, Responsible for
L~essening Production.

tBy PROF. G. W. SHAW. CALIFORNIA
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE.)
The minus quality Of our soils lies
not SO much on the chemical side OF
the soil as upon the wretchedly poor
physical condition induced through
the lack of any attempt to return to
the soil that vital attribute which
makes for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
which, together with rational tillage
and use of manures, constitutes the
best key for unlocking the storage Of
latent plant-food contained in the
soil.
Failure to realize the Importance of
this most vital question, the r%estora-
ton Of humus, Is responsible for les
sening the retentiveness Of u soils
for moisture, especially in the upper
layers. a very serious matter In our
climate of tickle rainfall; a ~lessening
of our available plant-food; the ma
king of the soil colder, and the in
creas of the cementing action in the
case of heavy soils, and increasing the
tendency of light soils to drift.

cally complex, sometimes highly nj
%trogenous and sometimes nearly nj
trogen free, composed of mixed animal
and vegetable matter-mostly the lat
term it's intermediate forms of de-
composition, but not complete.
1t is the result of the partial de-
composition of the organic matter of
soil, leaves, sticks, straw, stubble,
roots, sod, green crops turned under
and the like. During the process of
its final destruction and while being
made into mold, this material is useful
to the soil. 1t was that which gave
the lightness and filth to it in the
earlier days through its accumulation
for countless years, and which when
man began to cultivate the soil was
rapidly destroyed. During its forma-
physical capacity.
1t benefits the soil chemically by
supplying nitrogen directly; by sup
plying phosphoric acid, potash and
lime directly.
1t benefits the soil physically by
augmenting it's water-holding capa-
city; by increasing it's warmth; by
lettering its texture, and biologically
by affording food materials for micro
organic growth.
Humus may be- maintained and
augmented by three procedures, /. e..
crop rotation, the use of farm manures
and the practise of green manuring.
If the supply of humus material is
kept up In any soil, the crop can use
to the fullest extent, the mineral in
gradients of fertility, and there will be
less demand and less need for COM
mercial fertilizers.

5000, 900 square miles covered by gla-
cial ice in North America and Europe
to the depth Of n mile (probably
an UNDERESTIMATE would furnish
5000, 900 cubic miles of ice, all OF
which is formed by water distracted
from the ocean. This would reduce
the level of the ocean the world over
$50 feet and add to the northern part
of the continents two to three times
the weight of the entire land surfaces
of North America and Europe which
are above sea level. This additional
weight would be such a powerful at
tracing force that it would lower the
general level of the ocean so feet
more.
The weight of this ice over every
square mile would be 4,000,0 900, 900
tons, which would have to be multi
piled by 5000, 900 to get the total
amount. This is probably enough to
cause the crust of the earth to sink
under it when the ice accumulated
and to allow 1t to rise again when it
had melted off. This perhaps of itself
accounts for the great changes of
level in the northern hemisphere
which have taken place since the be-
ginning of the glacial period.
The spring freshets of this glacial
period were of enormous dimensions,
causing, as I have recently ascer-
tanned, the Missouri river to rise an
nually 200 feet instead of 40, as it
sometimes does now.

The glaciers of the world are now
nearly all %retreating. The front OF the

North America" Is now three miles
farther back than it was at that time
and, according to all accounts, 1t is
80 miles farther back than 1t was
when Vancouver discovered it 100
years ago.
We are not so far separated from
the glacial period as it would seem
to the casual observer. Probably it
would require but a slight increase of
snowfall, combined with a slight low
ering of the temperature, to cause
glaciers again to form on the White
mountains and in Labrador and the
already existing glaciers to begin a

would stop, for glaciers of them
selves tend to lower the temperature
and to increase the snowfall. When
we reflect upon the way the heat OF
the tropics is distributed by the Gulf
stream and the Japanese current, it
is not difficult to see how compare
lively slight changes in land level af-
fecting the course of the oceanic cur
rents might bring on a glacial period
again. But of any tendency in this
direction we have no evidence.

Good Milk Feeds.

Cottonseed meal, faxseed meal, bran
sorts, or other feeds rich in protein
are necessary for a full flow Of milk.
Glover or alfalfa hay are enough
feeds rich in protein. Corn, rich In
starch, produces heat, energy and fat,
but little milk. Silage and green
roots furnish water and are good ap-
petizers and promoters of general
health for winter feeding. Bran and
laxseed meal are good bowel regula-
tors.
Salt is a very necessary condiment
for dairy cows. 1t costs about half
a cent a pound and has a feeding
value of from two to five times that
value. Always keep a barrel OF 1t on
hand.
