If the example.
The First Land Show.

With the exposition this year comes
a new development. The element
which is bringing Saginaw to the
front so rapidly has not been slow to
recognize the fact that all the atten-
ton must not be devoted to the city
The development of the rural com
nfanities Is seen to be as important
in the comprehensive scheme of de-
velopment, and for this reason the
products of the soil will be arranged
in an additional building where Sagi-
nav county may point with pride at
the things her sun and soil can pro-
duce. More than that, there will be
liberal education along with the ex-
hibit. Not only will 1t show what the
farmer can do, but how he does it.
There will be shown all the modern
appliances which the progressive
farmer finds valuable aids to him.
There will be shown all the pests
which assai him, the manner of de-
termining their treatment, the method
of treating together with illustrated
lectures on the ways and means of
prevention and cure.

Burton Farmerx' Club.

Thursday, Sept. the members of
the Burton Farmers club were cor
daily welcomed by Mrs. Clara Auil-
er and family.
President Putnam called the meet
| ing to order and after the usual pre-
liminaries of music and devotions,
conducted by Mrs. Hammond, a very
profitable program was carried out.
How may we Make Farm Life
More Attractive?"-Mrs. Putnam
and others gave many good ideas
on this subject. Each one is trying
to work out his ideals. Well kept
and tidy lawns with nicely painted
of the surroundings, while music
and good literature help in the
homes. Then we must have conven-
fences to help make life easier about
the house, barn and farm. The mode
of conveyance, be it auto or a gentle
horse which is not too old, makes
life more pleasant and lastly we
must have a due regard for each
others rights and privileges.
Does it pay to Feed Lambs for
Five Cents for the Barn Yard Fer
tilizer?"-Mr. Putnam thinks if
feed is not too high that it can be
done, and receive a fair profit, but
it would be rather slow way to get
rich.
Should not the Farmers and
Farmers Clubs Enforce the law Rel
alive to Getting rid of Weeds? "-Mr
Hammond says it should be enforc-
ed, but weeds always grow best
when the farmer is the busiest. Mrs.
Auiler thinks if the farmer is taxed
for the cutting of the weeds, the
same as in the city, he would see
that they are cut next season. G.. G.
Potter says if the weeds are cut ev-
cry season there wouldn't be so
many to cut.
Mrs. G.. G.. Potter and Mrs. Peter
son each read a fine selection.
After music, Good Night Ladies"
and the announcement of the pro-
gram for the next meeting, the club
adjourned to meet the first Thurs
day in October with Mr.. and Mrs.
Claud Spiess.

HEROISM REWARDED

Hans Olson, the mason of Oriska,
will receive Carnegie medal for
rescuing Miss Schmidt from attempt
ed suicide in well at that place.
Olson happened to be passing by and
saw the act. He hurried to the res
cue and as the we'll was so narrow
that it was impossible to extricate
the girl by going down feet first, he
was obliged to make the descent
head first. His attempt failed but
he Immediately made another effort
which resulted successfully. From
being in a position with his head
downward for so long and under such
a strain, Olson had severe hemorrh-
ages, but has fully recovered. Be-
sides a Carnegie medal, which will
probably be given him, Olson re-
ceived 500 from Minneapolis man
in recognition of his heroism.

A GIANT HORSE

A new gas traction engine for farm
work has been received by John Wat
son of Beaver Creek farm, and was
unloaded at the jamestown yards to-
day. The rig is known as the Giant
Horse" 80 horse power engine ac-
tual. The engine will pull eight
breaking plows in sod and twelve
stubble plows. From 20 to 40 acres
a day breaking can be done accord
ing to the different conditions of soil,
the stone in the land, etc. 1t is
claimed that the work of breaking
is better than that done by hand and
horse power. Stones are removed
from the land wherever they are
seen in using the traction engine,
but the plows are made very heavy
and it is not often that lathe is
broken even when striking stone. 1t
is claimed that the manufacturers
have improved the working of the
plows equally with the development
of the engine, which is also used for
power for threshing and for other
farm purposes besides plowing. The
wheels are eight feet in height and
although the engine weighs 1900
pounds, the wheels cut into the
ground less than other machinery
used on account of the wide tread.
Mr.. Watson is agent for the engine
and is expecting to sell number to
Stutsman county farmers this season.
He uses one on his own farm and is
able to do extra work for neighbors.

the COWAN
Grind RESUMED
REBUTTAL TESTIMONY TAKEN
UP BY PROSECUTION. EX-

Bismarck, N. D., April 25.-The
senate had no quorum Monday and
an adjournment was taken until to-
day, when the case will again be TAX
en- up for a final hearing. The pro-
secution had about 35 witnesses
subpoened for rebuttal testimony.
The case seems to be good for ten
days additional time before it's COM
pletion.
Up to Saturday night there had
been incurred an expense of $4,000.
The average daily expense is nearly
$500 and the total cost OF the trial
will be close to $4,000. Many of
the witnesses receive between $40
and $50, and some as high as SIS,
which is accounted for by the large
mileage that is paid, being cents
mile each way from Bismarck.
Every charge and specification
must be voted upon, and as there are
S5 specifications all told there will
be IS roll calls. Some Of these
charges are of no consequence and
the voting upon them will be merely
formal, because no testimony has
been introduced by the prosecution
to support them. Should Judge Co.
wan be impeached the court can pre-
scribe the punishment. He can be
disqualified from ever holding Of
flee in the state, or disbarred from
law practice and conviction would
mean removal from the bench.
No evidence was introduced by the
defense and there was very little by
the prosecution in regard to pE-
chasing liquor or drinking liquor in
drug stores. 1t is said that this
charge is not considered an impeach-
able offense. Many other features
have been brought up in the trial
and practically the history of the big
political row in Ramsey county, dat
ing back many years, has had an air
ing. There are already 1850 print
ed pages of the journal.
The committee investigating sever
al newspapers have been studying
precedents regarding the powers OF
the court of Impeachment to punish
for contempt publishers who have
made false insinuations or charges
regarding the members of the court.
What will be done with these news
paper cases is not known.

ELECTED TO GO TO JAIL

C. w. Temple, manager of one of
the local theatres at Bismarck, was
sentenced to serve 25 days in the
county Jail for alleged violation of
the Sunday theatre law. The jury
before whom the case was tried, re-
turned verdict that Temple be fined
$50 and costs, and upon failure to
pay the same to be imprisoned for 25
days. =. Mr.. Temple, in order to hast
en-. the proceedings and secure a
quicker decision on the case from
the supreme court, chose to go to
Jail in order that writ of habeas
corpus might be issued and by this
means get the case at once before the
supreme court on appeal.

HORsEWHIPPED MAN HAS PUB
Lie SYMPATHY

The Hurdsfield Banner referring
to the assault on Brakeman Wasson,
by Ethel Haws, a Turtle Lake music
teacher, comments as follows:
Turtle Lake received a black eye
as we'll as Brakeman WATSON. The
disreputable affair that took place
last week is not rejecting much cred
it on the citizens of that place and
certainly not on the woman who con-
stituted herself a court, jury and exc
cutioner. Sympathy all along the
line is very strong with Wasson and
we hope he will be diligent In his
efforts to bring the rowdies to JUS
tice. Turtle Lake seems to be In
class with a lawless mining camp.

new York, April 26.-Fignres which
throw light on what various nation
alities are doing in the way Of increas:
ing the population of the city of New
York have just been issued by the
health department. In the Jewish dis
trict the birth rate is the highest, ave-
aging b per 1000 Of the population
there. IN typically Italian sections tn
rate is 505. In the negro districts the
birth rate averages 26.6. But in the
high class native American private
residence districts the rate Is le'
than per 1000.
The number of children resulting
from mixed marriages indicates, the

TO PREVENT LAND BLOWING
Prof. Shepherd, Agricultural Col
lege Suggests Remedy

There being considerable trouble
experienced from land blowing, Prot.
Shepherd says as an emergency
measure to spread straw t.linly over
the field. This will keep soil from
blowing off with the least injury to
crops of anything that can be done.
This will have to be done after the
seed is in. as the straw and litter
will clog the drill or narrow or what
ever is being used on the land. The
harder the wind blows the better
the straw will be dislriL:ted and
the more easily will it ne put on the
land. Often, simply strips of it thru
the fields will be sufficient. How
much will have to be put on will de-
pend upon how determined the field
is to blow.
Stable manure scattered thinly
with spreader will also serve the
purpose Of preventing the blowing.
Fresh stable manure which is full!
of litter from bedding or partially
rotted stack bottoms will serve the
purpose very we'll and will cause lit
tie damage to the grain. Clean bed
ding, straw or litter should be used,
of course, as good many weeds will
be started in the field otherwise.
Spring p1owed land, and land disc
ed deeply and left rough does not
blow away to compare with fall plow-
ing and summer following is the
worst of all. It Is q good practice
to SOW, a couple Of quarts of timothy
seed with the grain per acre, as it
will make roots enough to keep down
the blowing Considerably in future
years.

BAKED POTATOES, WITH ONION
GRAVY

wherever possible, all vegetables
may be baked with advantage, for
they are best in that form, potatoes
particularly. Many people, however,
are at loss to know how to make
gravy without meat. This onion
gravy will be found more satisfying
than any meat gravy. Chop up very
fine two medium onions and brown in
four tablespoonfuls of olive Oil.
(Pure cotton seed oil, often sold as
"salad oil" is cheaper and Will do
Just as well.) When onions are
brown, add one level teaspoon OF
salt and a full tablespoon of whole

this is also Drowned and then add
cold water gradually. stirring, mean
while, until proper consistency 10

Guiding North Dakota
Members

Washington, D. c., April 22.-Last
evening the Canadian reciprocity bill
was called up in the house of rep
resentatives and passed that body by
a vote of 265 to SO. The bill was
almoH identical with that which
passed the house at the last con-
gress. The bill had been fought for
days in heated debate.
Ten Democrats Against
Ten democrats voted against the
bill on it's passage while 1877 dem
ocrats voted for it. AS in the case
when the bill passed at the proceed
ing session of congress majority of
republicans were found against it,
the party vote being 67 for and 78
opposed. Among those who voted
against the bill were:
Republicans-Ande Minneso-
ia; Burke, South Dakota; Davis, Min
nesota; Hanna, North Dakota; Hell
gesen, North Dakota; Lindberg, Min
neSOta; Martin, south DaKOta; Steen-
erson, Minnesota; Volstead, Mime
sofa.
Democrats Minnesota.
The republicans claim that the
democrats are expecting to put in and
pass free trade bill later on. 1t
was claimed by Rep. Underwood, !,
democratic leader, that the country
demands free trade with Canada and
possibly a much enlarged free trade
program will be started in the next
regular session of congress. The
action of the senate on the bill pass
ed by the house is uncertain. The
fight to defeat it or amend it will be
made before that body.
