A VALUABLE COW

Marion, N. D., Aug. III. j. Six
kink, of Greenland township, has
unusual in the way of a
very prolific COW. About ten weeks
ago the animal gave birth to calf
which was normal in every way, al
though the cows flow of milk did
not seem to increase as it should.
Just about eight weeks after the
first calf made It's appearance the
COW dropped another calf, making
two calves in less than nine weeks.
The COW is about thirteen years OF
age, and has never produced any
thing out of the ordinary heretofore,
but should prove to be a valuable
animal if the present rate of in
crease continues.

PRAIRIE sCHOONERs

The number of covered wagons
going through town says the Steele
Ozone, from the west is remarked
by many, and is a very unusual
thing in this region. All give the
same account of the total failure OF
the crop on account of drouth. Many
are securing quarters for winter.
Others have secured contracts for
haymaking. All are hustlers, and
only the most untoward conditions
have made such men move out and
leave their homesteads or purchased
lands. They desire to remain where
they can reach their. lands easily in
the spring, as most of them will re-
turn and start in again.

INSPECTED INDIAN MOUNDS
Along the James River and Other
Objects of Historical
Interest
Interest

H. c. Fish, curator of the State
Historical Society and c. s. Finch
of LaMoure, returned Saturday ev-
entng from their trip of exploration
down the James river.
They did not find any Of the old
earth lodge villages but were for
tunate in discovering other histori-
cal marks of interest. Most of
these were found within a radius of
ten miles of Dickey. Two very good
effigy mounds were discovered and
also a number of groups of conical
mounds.
Near Grand Rapids, on the east
side of the river very good out
line of breast works we're found and
while their exact origin is unknown,
yet some of the old timers say the
soldiers wintered there before their
excursions into the west. The cell
ars and ditch are clearly defined.
Most all of the historical finds were
on the west side of the river and at
a point where it is the narrowest in
the valley.
Mr.. Fish and Mr.. Finch took the
trip on foot and going from place
to place gathered as much OF the
pioneer history as possible. The
State Historical Society is endeavor-
ing to gather as much data along the
lines of the early settlement of the
Indian tribes in the state which will
serve as a foundation to the occu-
pancy by the white trader and trap

FOUND DEAD
BY THE RAILS
TRAMP KILLED BY TRAIN WEST
OF BERNER. LITTLE KNOWN
CONCERNING HIM

At $3.50 a. NJ, Monday, the
badly mutulated body of a man a.
bout "a years old, was found by
Conductor Shriner and crew, a short
distance west of Berner, between
Jamestown and Eldridge. The
body was yet warm when found, and
showed the results of crushing, the
head being badly battered, one leg
of and the other broken. He was
found lying beside the track, and
the body brought to the city for
undertaker's care, and to await some
Identification by relatives if posi-
BILE. In a leather pocket book on the
body of the man, was found a slip
of paper containing the following:

watch and chain. The man is ap-
parently of Polish descent, had
smooth face, was feet, 8 inches

blue eyes and scar on right cheek.
A handkerchief, tobacco and match
es were also found on the person.
Some further information was OBJ
tanned by party of four "tourists"
who came in the freight train that
stopped where the body was lying.
The men say that. they saw the dead
man Sunday at Dickinson, where he
was cleaning up and where he shaved
himself in the Dickinson jungles and
said he was going to- ride the rods

PLOW UNDER
GRASSHOPPER EGGS
How Millions of the Pests Can be
Killed-PlOw Deep

inquiries ana complaints are still
coming in regarding the grasshopper.
In some places the destruction has
been almost complete while in others
it has been only partial. The time
has now arrived when the grasshop-
pers have commenced to lay their
eggs for next years brood and it is
none too early to provide for their
destruction.
Wherever grasshoppers are found
in any number at the present time
it is safe to assume that they are
laying eggs. The land selected for
this purpose is ordinarily the grain
fields. They avoid grass lands but
lay freely along the roadsides. They
prefer a firm soil free from grass
roots. Any grain field provides an
ideal condition.
Many of the grasshoppers are in
tested with red mite. It has been
thought by some that this would de-
stroy the grasshoppers but this is
not wholly true. A grasshopper that
is badly infested will be somewhat
weakened by this parasite but the
chances are that the majority Of
them will lay the normal number of
eggs.
The parasite as it is found upon
the grasshoppers is the larval form
of small red spider. Later in the
season as these larvae develop they
release themselves from the grass
hoppers and in the adult stage feed
upon the grasshopper eggs. M ost
everyone has noticed in early spring
while working in the gardens or
fields very small bright red spider;
this Is the adult fom of the parasite.
This spider as has been said feeds
upon the eggs of the grasshopper
exclusively. At the same time she
lays about three hundred eggs which
hatch into the form which is found
upon the wings of the grasshopper
during the summer. These mites
eventually become numerous enough
to reduce the numbers of the grass
hoppers to a point where they are
not longer destructive but this may
take two or three years and it is not
wise to allow our crops to be DESTROY
ed by the grasshoppers during that
period.
AS has been stated before on sew
eral occasions thru the press of tho
state the one perfect remedy for
grasshoppers is to plow under their
eggs either in the fall or very early
in the spring. For this purpose the
plowing must be done to depth not
less than five inches. Many of the
farmers have complained that even
where the land was plowed the
grasshoppers are numerous. This is
due to the fact that the land was on
ly plowed 2 or 3 inches deep: There
are many other reasons for plowing
to depth of or inches but the
one that has been mentioned should
be sufficient at this time.
The means of destroying these In
sects are so simple and so directly
in line with our general practice Of
farming that there is no reason why
we should have any loss from this
source.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

again, and possesses a think tank whief works without encourageme
 It Is generally admitted that Birming- ham is the best baseball town in the league.
 Everybody appreciates that fact, and rival cities come across with the free admission.
 And but for the fact that there are exceptional circumstances this year which furnish additional proof of the love of Birmingham's people for the great national game we would refrain from again mentioning the subject.
 These exceptional circumstances are that in the very worst weather that can be sent, fans. in large numbers, flock to the games. In the games against Atlanta Saturday, 1t rained freely. and the thunder was loud and threatening. Yet the grandstand' was occupied by a crowd which in eonsld- eration of weather conditions, caused one to marvel. The same was true yesterday
 In reference to Birmingham crowds, there are other features which might be mentioned One of these is the fact that Birmingham women are fond Of the sport In every crowd, there is large percentage of the gentler sex, and the gentler sex. like the stronger is indifferent to weather conditions.
 Another interesting truth in eonnec- ton with Birmingham crowds is the faithfulness and interest of the colored Every game draws large number of the colored population, and among them are some of the most vo- ciferous "rooters" in the world.
 
 It seems that better day is coming for Birmingham. It is hoped that mis- fortune has reaped a satisfactory har- vest.
 The team is intact at last and will be- gin playing better ball. The associa- ton is planning to make the aggrega- tion stronger, and the people are in

SPORTING NEWS
 AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

Some days ago. Jess Tannehill noti- fled the local baseball association that, in his opinion he was unable to pitch winning baseball in the Southern league.
 He was honest with the club.
 T simply believe I can't win" said he, and do not feel at liberty to draw money for nothing. However, of course. I will remain on the job and do the best l can until you get another flinger"
 Since then Jess has sat on the bench. Yesterday afternoon. however, on account of the failure of Maxwell to return on schedule and on account of the sudden illness of Wagner, the veteran was sent to the hill.
 What he accomplished is history known to all. It didn't appear that he was "aii in" or even a little way in" Instead he was strong with curve and control and headwork.
 It Is our opinion that Jess Is far from having seen the last of his good days as a pitcher.
 As is remembered, he won three of his first four games and then he be- came i'll. Then he lost three in a row. It was after these defeats that he had his conversation with owner Wood7 ward and President Baugh. It is prob able that the veteran was little blue over his reverses, and forgot to figure as the cause for his beating lack of strength following week of slow fever.
 It is very probably true that Jess Is not strong enough to pitch every third or fourth day. But in case he is sent to the hill once a week only, he will probably on those occasions, come trot- ting home with the bacon.
 In addition to being quite capable pitcher, Tannehill is good stieker, and can play in the outfield in pinch. And on his feet, he is fast. He knows the game from top to bottom and back
