the steamer while returning from

cause he was too feeble to draw on

New York, april 21-The mere
chronology of Mark Twain's life Is
soon told Like most dwellers in
the Imagination, his significance to
posterity lies not, as with men of
action, in how he wrought. Upon
events, but rather in how events
wrought upon him; for from such
reactions resulted his imaginative
output-one of the most consider
able of his time, and, as it now
seems, ione Of the securest.
Briefly, then, Mark Twain was
born Samuel Lanhorne Clemens in
Florida, Mo-, on Nov. 30, 1885.
my parents, he writes in his bur-
lesque autobiography, were neither
very poor nor conspicuously honest"
The earliest ancestor the Twains
have any record OF was a friend OF
the family by the name of Higgins. y
The county chroniclers have it that
the elder Clemens failed in business
and died, leaving his son the ample
world in which to make his fortune
tune.
Accordingly, Mark Twains &C.
quaintance with literature began ii
putting words into type, not ideas
into words. Educated only in the
public schools, he was apprenticed t

Today is Arbor day. Plant for the

ture generations. Look about Bis
marck and see what the efforts of
tree planters in the past have done
for the blessing and comfort Of the

tablished in a treeless area, there
is a wealth of shade and foliage in
the summer season, to the credit of
men who have planted trees.

In commenting upon current ar
ticle with reference to the desira-
bility of briquetting certain kinds of
coal, the St. Paul Dispatch says:
Both bituminous coal and anthra-
cite have long been mined in such a
way that vast amount of refuse
accumulates. With the addition Of
pitch or some other suitable binder
or by pressure alone, this material
can be formed into Observation-Disclosures
of any desired size, possessing near
ly the same heating value as pul e
coal. In California, Texas, NORTH
Dakota and several other states
moreover, there are immense beds
of brown coal, or Ignite, which until
recently had been considered almos:
worthless. Not only does it contain
rather less carbon than the other two
kinds of coal with which the world
is familiar, but it has tendency to
crumble so as to be practically I'M
manageable after a few weeks ex-
posture to the weather Besides, it
absorbs so much water that it burns
with difficulty. But now elaborate
experiments made by the United
States Geological Survey show that
Ignite can worked up into bril-
quotes which, if properly made, will
stand rough handling and shipment
and will burn with ease.
The fact that Ignite coal can be
briquetted has been known for
good many years, and in Germany
the briquetting Of coal has been an
industry for a good many years. In
this state good many experiments
have been made with briquettes,
and good briquettes have been made
but at an expense that would make
the marketing of them impossible.
The state at it's new mining expert
ment station at Hebron is now max
ing some experiments that may
prove it possible to put Ignite bril-
quotes on the market at a reason
able COST But gooc deal of money
has been invested by good many
people in briquetting schemes-and
lost. There are two things neces-
sary in the successful establishment
of briquetting industry-one is to
be able to make good briquettes, and
the other is to make them at a cost
where they can compete with other
fuel, heat unit for heat unit. Until
these problems are solved, the bril-
quoting business in this state will
not progress rapidly.

GOOD CULTIVATION

Farming is becoming science,
and good cultivation of the soil is
an essential to success. II is just
as idle for the farmer to seek to
develop his land without cultivation
as it is for the business man to de-
velop his business without attention
to business details. In recent little
suggestion sent out by President
Worst of the state agricultural COL
lege, We find this valuable hint:
Dry seasons sometimes occur in
every agricultural section, and are
quite likely to occur here, at inter-
walls. This may prove to be one of
those seasons. The way to prepare
for a dry season is to give the

ground very thorough cultivation.
seed bed is formed-and then drag
some more.
If the season should be of the
ordinary sort, all this will pay big
returns at any rate for the extra cul-
tivation. Should it prove to be a
very dry season, this extra cultiva-
ton will undoubtedly represent the
difference between a fair crop and
a partial or total failure. AS it pays
to treat wheat for smut every year,
it will also pay the farmers to pre-
pare for a dry season every year.
The farmer cannot control the tenn
perature or the rainfall, but he can
go a long way toward conserving
the moisture that does fall.
Again, the cultivation necessary to
conserve the moisture puts the
ground into splendid physical condi-
ton, without which maximum crops
cannot be expected. Narrowing is
the best substitute for irrigation. 1t
may be necessary to harrow the
ground after the wheat Is up and

irrigator floods his land at that
period.
On a hot day with the wind blow
ing across field, not less than half
an inch of water is likely to be suck
Gu out of the soil. This means that
100000 gallons would be evaporat-
ed from a ten acre field in ten days.
1t is perhaps less expensive to save
the 100000 gallons from evaporat-
ing than it is to put in 100000
gallons from an irrigation ditch. At
all events, it is the only way North
Dakota farmers have of saving the
moisture. This moisture may be
suddenly needed: There is double
insurance in favor of the extra Gull
tivation. There is a large element
of danger in not giving the land this
extra cultivation.
