cost or growing an acre of fodder
corn, including the rent of land, is
only S1O.52 per acre. With yield of
four tons per acre the cost of fodder
corn would be only s2.63 per ton, a
very great difference between that and
the price of hay when bought on the
market.
How to Grow Fodder Corn.-The
old hay field, if not too low, will pro-
vide the best field for fodder corn.
An application of manure will in
crease the yield. The soil cannot be
too rich for corn.
Plow medium to deep and disk and
harrow till the soil is thoroughly pull
verized
Plant in rows 30 inches apart and
about six inches apart in the row.
The corn should be planted thickly
in the row so that the stalks will be
fine. When planted far apart in the
row the stalks will be coarser and
will not be eaten.
One half bushel of seed per acre in
rows 30 inches apart gives the fodder
corn fine stalk and is about the
right quantity to plant.
Plant from May 20 to June l. The
planting may be delayed till June 20,
and sometimes it may pay to put in a
crop even though it cannot be done
before the first of July, but the earlier
planting is best.
The fodder corn crop is fast gaining
favor in northeastern Minnesota.
Every farmer who gives it fair trial
becomes grower of fodder corn and
invariably a more prosperous farmer.
This spring the price of fodder corn
seed is from $3.50 to $500 per bushel.
When it is not handled on the local
market it can be bought from any of
the numerous seed houses advertising
in the agricultural papers.
It can best be ordered on short
notice through the local merchant
and, if not already provided, should
be ordered at once.
The variety used on the experiment
farm is Minnesota No. 49, Nearly
any of the northern grown varieties,
either in dent or flint, will give good
results for fodder corn.
If you have not grown fodder corn
give it a trial this season. It may be
planted on new breaking but will give
best results on land that has been
cultivated.

SWampland Romance.

The poorest tract may prove a fine
investment. A man bought little
piece Of swamp land for Sll once.
Everybody said he was stung, and he
hadn't lived there over night till he
knew he was. Mosquitoes! Well, q
kind neighbor told him that coal oil
would kill mosquitoes. So he bought
gallons of it, and poured it wherever
he thought they might be breeding.
A few days later a capitalist called
on him. Owner showed him over the
place, and in an hour the capitalist
had given him five times what he had
paid for the land. The investor won
and was happy. He wonders why the
capitalist is drilling wells all over the
place now, but he is satisfied. Boston

How They Try Cases In Isant1

The district court at Cambridge
last week was quiet when compared to
the scene in Justice Morast's court in
Isanti Tuesday afternoon. Upon
complaint of Leonard Olund of Cam
bridge, charging abusive language,
Erick Norine, carpenter, was
brought before Judge Morast at
O'Clock and an adjournment immedi-
ately taken for two hours. When the
case was again called W. D. Oleson
and N. J. Enquist appeared as at
torneys for the defendant and re-
quested another adjournment, stating
that it was desired to secure the SER
vices of Claren CO Darrow, the famous
criminal lawyer of Chicago, to defend
Mr.. Norine. The request was
granted, and after the policeman and
the defendant had treated the crowd,
the case was dismissed, Mr.. Olund
paying the costs of the action. The
only witness to the trouble was Per
Haglund, who had previously made
arrangements to leave for Sweden
early Saturday morning.-Isanti

cost 5000 an acre to clear it's cut-over
land.
According to the story in~the Herald
Saturday, which is of vital interest to
every dweller in northern Minnesota,
the land in question was "average
cut-over land-probably a little more
weathered than the average" Its
owners put crew of men upon it, in
charge of man experienced in the
use of dynamite, and the crew blew
out the stumps, grubbed out the
brush, filed the holes left where the
stumps we're, and even removed the
stones, at a cost of 1927 per acre.
We shall not attempt to convince
anybody that all cut-over land can be
cleared so cheaply. But we do wish to
offer that exhibit as an answer to the
ridiculous statement of the man
Klemer, and to add that even if it
costs five times as much to clear
northern Minnesota lands it still is a
highly profitable Investment and will
work out vast profits to those who do
it and to the state as a whole.-Du-
luth Herald.

Village Council.

At a meeting of the village council
last Thursday evening an ordinance
was passed giving the Eastern Min
nesota Power company the right to
enter this village for the purpose of
supplying light, heat and power for
period of Is years at a stipulated
price, the company to use the streets
for it's poles wheresoever it may deem
fit. The power plant of the company
is at Pine City and a cable will be
laid from that place. Attorney
Dickey reported that he had looked
up the law bearing on the matter and
found that the village council was
vested in the power TO grant such con.
cession.
An ordinance was also passed regu-
lating the hitching of horses on the
streets or at other places in the vii.
lage. -
It was decided to remove all arc
lights in the village excepting those
on Main street and the one at the
depot and to replace them with cluster
and bracket lights.
The council placed an order for 75(
feet of Red Cross hose at one dollar
per foot.
There was discussion as to the al.
legged excessive prices fixed by the
commission for arc lights,7 water and
the use of hydrants, but no action was
taken.

Sheriff Shockley, assisted by 19

and families-from the land which
they occupied at Mozomonie Point.
When the sheriff and his posse ar.

positions behind trees on an eminence
and were resting their gun barrels be-
tween the forks apparently awaiting
the order of Chief Wadena to pour

Undaunted by the hostile reception

gathered Wadena into his clutches.
He dragged the old chief down into

But not a shot was fred-the redmen

Fodder Corn.

The following article, written by A.
j. Mcclure, uperintendent of the
state experiment farm at Grand Rap
ids, will be of especial interest to the
farmers at this time, when another
dry season is threatened:
An acre of ground properly planted
to fodder corn may be made to yield,
under favorable conditions, from four
to six tons of cured fodder. This
fodder is nearly equal to tame hay in
feeding value for cattle.
Hay seldom yields more than four
tons per acre 1.-TWO cuttings) and hay
land that has been in hay for over
two years commonly yields less than
two tons per acre.
High land that has been in hay for
over two years should be broken up
and planted to corn for fodder this
spring. If the season is dry (unfa-
vorable for hay) the yield of fodder
will probably be four or five times as
much as the hay crop would be if the
land we're left in hay.
In 1910 twenty acres of fodder corn
was grown on the experiment farm
and the yield, field cured, was five
tons per acre. It is recommended as
one OF the most valuable crops that
can be grown where there is apt to be
shortage of rough feed. During the
past winter farmers have bought hay
paying from S12 to S18 per ton. The

A Plea for Harmony.

1t is unfortunate that friction should
have arisen between the village coun-
Gil and the water, light, power and
building commission. The best inter-
ests of the village will uffer if such a
condition of affairs long continues.
Princeton is too small place for two
governing boards to be working at
cross purposes. The rate of taxation
is abnormally high in Princeton vii
lage at present. What the taxpayers
want and will insist upon having is
careful, economical and business-like
administration of the affairs of the
village on the part of the village
council and the commission as we'll.
Each and every member of the coun-
Gil and the commission should be in
terested in decreasing the indebted
ness of the village and at the same
time give US as good light and
water service as possible. The streets
also need attention, and the bridges
across Rum river must be kept in
proper order. This can and must be
done without increasing the indebted
ness. On the contrary, with reason
able tax levy, the Indebtedness ought
to be decreased annually, until it is
finally Cancelled. The Union is in
terested in promoting the welfare of
the village. We are not interested in
the likes or dislikes of any man or set
OF men. Let the unseemly pickering
cease. Let the members of the council
and the commission get together and
work for the best interests of all,
