In relation to the crop production
there is no other breed so we'll fitted
to this section Of the United States.
Since the origination of this white ba-
con breed in Yorkshire. England. one
hundred and twenty-five (l25) years
ago, it has been found to be good
grazer. doing best upon the small
grains and grasses.
This fact with his ability and dispo-
sition to cover large fields to pick up
scattered grain makes him a most de-
sirable factor in the North Dakota
farming today.
@. What shrubs can be grown in

Answered by c. B. Waldron. profess
sor horticulture and forestry.
The list Of hardy shrubs that can be
grown In North Dakota is a very long
one and includes all of the lilacs, sew
eral Of the honeysuckles. three or four
OF the spireas, the SNOWFALL, karagana,
red dogwood and many others. All Of
the nurseries offer Z list of hardy or

choice in the varieties without being
in danger Of planting anything which
is not hardy.
Q.-Cen the septic tank be used in a
perfectly level country?
Answered by E. S. keene. dean of
physics and mechanical engineering.
Septic tank may be successfully
used in fiat country, but not SO con-
veniently as where there is a stream
or other form of drainage available in
which to carry away the liquified sew
age. Where no adequate drainage is
possible the efiuent from the septic
tank is discharged into a cistern,
from which it is pumped into a port
able tank and carried to any conven-
lent point for disposal.
@. What is dodder?
Answered by H. F. Bergman, assist
ant biologist.
Dodder is parasitic plant belong
ing to family closely related to the
morning-glory and birdweed. Dodder
grows on many different kinds OF
plants, such as alfalfa, clovers, will
lows and other shrubs and upon vari-
GUS weeds as sunflowers. goldenrod,
smartweed and others, but 1t is a DIFF
ferent kind upon these different plants.
Alfalfa dodder is the only one with
| which the farmer is concerned, since
this dodder is parasitic on alfalfa and
clovers, often doing much damage.
The Godder is introduced with the
alfalfa or clover seed from which it
is not easily distinguished except by
trained observer.
The dodder flower is inconspicuous
but develops seeds as large as clover
or alfalfa seeds, with which it is usu-
ally mixed. ALI samples OF alfalfa or
clover should be sent in to the seed
control laboratory for inspection be-
fore planting to maze sure that dod-
der is not present, Once having a
start in field ttl dodder is killed
out with difficulty.
@. What is the object of using blu
ing?
Answered by domestic science de-
partment.
Bluing is used in laundering because
we have grown to like clothes of a
bluewhite color. The blush tint looks
winter and more attractive to the
eye than yellow tint. The more sun
shine and fresh air the less bluing is
required.

IF reproach may be made of us, it
is only for our exceeding indulgence
and benevolence toward the natives.
A full demonstration Of this is the
order and declaration which advised
the soldiers to treat the Arabs on
friendly terms, respecting their ira

and many soldiers were shot, the am.
bulance corps Of the Red Cross was
attacked and the sick and wounded
were horribly killed in the town by
shots fred from roofs. Women cried,

WON HOT MAYoRALTY FIGHT

The hottest political campaign in
the history of Philadelphia came to
an end in the election Of Rudolph
Blankenburg for mayor.
The campaign really began months
previous to the election, when Will
lam 8. Ware, contractor, announced
his candidacy for the Republican NOM
ination and was beaten by Geo. H.
Earle, who had the support of United
States Senator Penrose. This some
what split the Republican ranks, for
the fight over the nomination left
several sore spots. Blankenburg's en-
try into the race, representing the in
dependent Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, intensified the interest in the
campaign.
There are few better known citi-
zens in Philadelphia than Rudolph

in the reform ranks for thirty years.

several times or until the water shows
no milky color.
@. Is spring or fall blowing best?
Answered by r. c. Doneghue. pro-
lessor Of agronomy.
On the clay and silt soils for most
crops fall blowing is best. In the drier
parts of the state if the soil does not
drift too badly early fall blowing is
best If mulch is maintained to pre-.
vent the loss Of water after blowing.
On lands which drift badly it is often
best to pillow in spring. Clay soils are
usually left in better physical condi-
ton If plowed in the fall.
@. How may odors be removed
from churn?
Answered by G. L. Martin, professor
of dairying.
Wash the churn with hot water in
which salt or lime have been dis
solved. Hot lime water is the best to
keep it sweet and fresh.
@. How do you kill Canada thistles
How do you kill SOW thistles?
Answered by J. X. Shepperd, dean
agricultural department.
Canada thistles usually grow in
small patches at first and can be killed
most easily by smothering. To smoth-
er them, cover them with straw or lit
terry manure and leave it over them for
two years. Tar paper may be laid
over them and weighted down with
stones or dirt to accomplish the same
purpose as the covering of manure. If
the thistles have become widely scat
tered cultivation at frequent intervals
is the only process that will kill them
Many farmers plow the patches with
a walking plow every few weeks dur
ing the entire growing season.
Q. How can pillow shares and mold
board be kept from rusting?
Answered by r. NJ. Dolve, professor
farm mechanics.
In soils that scour with difficulty the
pillow should never be left in the soil
over night, but should be thoroughly
cleaned. When the blowing season is
over the bright parts should be imme-
diately coated with a rust preventa-
tive. If the plows are housed, ma
chine oil or axle grease will insure
protection. If they are to be left ex-
posed to the weather, cover with ma
chine oil or grease and paint over with
linseed oil or paint. The creased sur
face will prevent the oil or paint from
adhering too firmly to the surface.
@. What is the best breed of hogs
for North Dakota?
Answered by Elmer ]. Thompson,
assistant professor of animal husban-
dry.
The results of the swine raising here
at the station for the past five or six
years have shown the Yorkshire breed
to be the most satisfactory Of all the
breeds given tris |.
This breed is OF the bacon type and
pure white in color. They have proven
themselves to be above the average in
prolificacy and are the very best of
mothers.

THE VALUE OF FLOWERS.

Approaching the fact that travellers
delight to patronize railroad lines run
ming through the most beautiful sec
lions of the country, several railroads
have of late years been spending con-
siderable money in carrying out prac-
tical plans for the identifying of the
railroad right of way. A news note
from Montreal gives Information that
more than one hundred thousand pack
ages of flower seeds are being sent out
by the Canadian Pacific Railways
floral department to the agents, sec
ton men and other employees of the
road. 1t is noted that these seeds
comprise thirty-six different varieties
that have been gathered from all parts
of the world as the purest and best of
their kind. The results are marvellous.
Valuable prizes were given last year
for the most attractive station grounds
and sections along the lines, and
there was keen competition.
The Florida climate offers especial
advantages for an improvement of
this kind, and 1t is a fact that the
management of the Florida East Coast
Railway has in view not only the rock
ballasting of the entire length of rail-
road from Jacksonville south, but also
the beautiful of the right of-way. A
profusion of flowers would be very
easy to secure, a feature that would
add to the already exquisite scenery
extending from Ormond south along
the Halifax and Indian rivers. Other
roads in the south will probably take
up a similar plan for improvement, so
that the northern roads will have no
monopoly of this method of adding to
the beauties of nature, and the enjoy
ment of the patrons of the railroad
