SEEDS WITH GAS ENGINE

The first gasoline tractor seeding
and cultivating outfit ever seen in
Polk county started operations on a
farm four miles southeast of Crooks
ton and operated by J. A. Mcmillan
last week. It is a 3O-horse power en-
CINE and Immediately following this
comes a disc harrow. Hitched next
are two 22-shoe drills and in the rear
was dragged two AKA timbers to
smooth the surface. These will be
changed to smoothing harrows for bet
ter results. The outfit has a capacity
of SO acres seeded and dragged pei
day, running regular hours, or rs
acres if run over time, and is operated
| by two men. The work is done fol
less than half the cost of doing it with
horsetlesh and when the ground is in
the condition it is now, the work done
is ideal.

BOUGHT CHOICE LOT OF STALL
FED BEEF CATTLE
Farmer from Eastern Polk Supplied
crookston Butchers with Two
Carloads

K. Q. Bolstad, prominent farmer
from the county southeast of McIn-
tosh, seems to be entitled to the
champ ionship for the production of
choice beef, in Polk county at least.
On Tuesday morning two carloads of
S3hoice stalled cattle from the Boil
stad farm were unloaded in Crookston
to be slaughtered by the Crookston
butchers and sold over their counters
to Crookston people.
Ed Erickson bought the cattle from
Mr.. Bolstad and sold % head out OF
Al to 10 Leblanc and Paul Miethke
The. total price received by Mr.. Boil
stad was p3,055 for the lot A short
time ago he sold another carload at
Fosston for $1,000. That is getting
some returns for properly caring for
stock. Mr.. Bolstad and his sons
two of whom are students at the
Crookston School of Agriculture p-
crate big stock farm and turn out a
lot of beef cattle, mostly Shorthorns
and Herefords. They set a splendid
example of what can be done in Nor

STATE RECLAMATION !
BOARD MEETING
VIM !. Brown, of this City, is the
Chairman Of the Board, and w. r.
Mckenzie, OF Bemidji, the secre-
tary-A Good Move for State DeveI-
opnent.

There are vast possibilities in the
line OF development and settlement Of
Northern Minnesota, if the expert
ment involved in the work of the Re-
clamation board is successful. The
board held it's first meeting and organ
lied by the election of VIM. j. Brown,
OF this city, as chairman, and w. R..
Mackenzie, of Bemidji, as secretary.
1t is the duty of the Board to select
ten forty-acre tracts of state swamp
or rutover lands and to cause the
tracts to be appraised and one-half
thereof to be cleared and prepared for
cultivation, and to cause the land,
thereafter to be sold at auction. The
purchaser has forty years time within
which to pay the cost of the land and
the cost Of the improvement.
The Board is composed of VIM. j.
Brown, of this city, w. R. Mackenzie,
OF Bemidji, and A. J. Mcclure of the
State Experimental Farm at Grand
Rapids, all northern men, who are in
tensely interested in the development
OF the northern part of the state. It
is hoped that this experiment will be
such success and that the next leg
lslature will appropriate sufficient
money to begin the reclamation of
the state lands on a commercial basis.

THE POULTRY YARD

Good, clean runs are a delight tc
the hens.
Sometimes litter gets so filthy thai
it is worse than none.
Turkey eggs set this month should
give good salable carcasses for the
Christmas feasts.
Leave it to the old hen to pick ou
the best nest to lay in. She can do il
better than you can.
Two sprinklings week with kero
sene old should keep the house free
from insect pests. But be thorough.
Get the screens over the windows
now, so that intruders will not dis
turb your favorites while they are
asleep at night
Are you troubled with crows abou
your chicken yards? Cover the pens
with wire netting. That will foo
the thieves.
Overlooking must be avoided, as
must also undertaking. Either ex
IRENE will stunt the growth of the
young stock.
Can't expect to succeed with broody
hens, incubators and little chicks
these days, '-nless we stay close al
home to meet all emergencies.
Feed very little soft feed and yor
will raise more chicks. If you mus
feed soft stuff, don t throw it upon the
ground. Feed it in small trough OF
on clean board.
In heavy-soil localities, gapes are
apt to attack young chicks, especially
when quartered on damp, heavy
ground. In light, sandy soils this dis
ease is practically unknown.
Look suspiciously at eggs that have
been laid in stolen nest They
may be all right, but test them care
fully, lest you lead some one who
buys them to say things that will
make your ears burn

NARROWING GRAIN

Prof. Thomas Shaw states that he
thought the four borrowings he gave
grain after it was up saved his crop
last year. 1t was so dry that the grass
never got green, yet the yields went
from twenty to thirty bushels. The
borrowings were given when the grain
was just coming up, when it was four
to- five inches high; six to seven inches
and when eight to nine inches high.

MAIL ORDER BUSINESS ExPEN-
SivE DRUMMERs

noticed what you had to say about
people patronizing the mail order
houses, turning cold shoulder to the
nome merchants. We know that every
thing you say is true and there is no
one that regrets this more than I do:
We have noticed it going on for some
TIME, but, you do not bit upon the
cause OF all this trouble, or the reason
Why the mail order houses can under
sell the village merchant. The way
see it, is this: Every wholesale house
has hundreds Of drllmmers running all
over the country selling its goods. You
take all the large concerns of Chicago
and the number of drummers they
send out is something terrible, they
are like a swarm of lOcusts feeding on
the country all the tice. They get
Dig pay, and OF course, that all has to
be reckoned in by the wholesaler in
the price he charges for his goods.
and the consumers have to pay an ex-
ira price for what they buy in the
country to feed and clothe this swarm
OF starched-up gentry that is eternal
ly swarming and nagging at the coun-
try merchants to buy and in many
cases they overload them with their
trash until they are swamped and go
down Now the mail order houses
are paying no drummers and that is
the main reason why they can sell so
cheap, and another reason is they sell
for cash and have no bad accounts.
Now we contend that these drulnmers
are curse to the country, and if I
had the power I would drive every
one of them Off the road The mer-
chants do not need them. Let each one
have a book and make list of what
he needs as he goes along, then send
his orders direct to the wholesale
house for his goods. There is hardly a
day but there are from one to four or
five Of these starched up gentlemen in
the city of Warren. / have never
bought but very little from the mail
order houses, have always been loyal
to the home stores, and if every one
would do that, the small town mer-
chants could keep a much better stock
1of goods, and if they could get all the
big Jumps Of cash that go to the city
for goods they could sell much cheap
er too.
Down with the swarm of locusts
that are eating up the country people
to no purpose.

LADIES' READING CIRCLE

The Ladies Reading Circle held
their last meeting of the season at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs c. A. Tul-
lar, Friday evening, April %. The
spacious rooms OF their home, one
particularly adapted to entertainments
on large scale, and on this evening,
bore evidence that the event was to
be Dutch in character. The charming
hostess, assisted by the Circle officers
and entertainment committee receiv-
ed their members and guests pre-
senting each with Dutch cap which
was worn throughout the evening.
Then the good time began and lasted
long and late. An exceptionally inter
esting program was rendered during
the evening The address of wei.
come was happily worded by the re-
firing president, Mrs. D. Bernard,
who was followed by Mesdames w.
F. Powell and c.. L. Spaulding in
pretty duet, responding to an encore
with another which rivaled the first.
Miss Powell read an interesting pa
per on Our Obligation to the Neither
lands The hit of the evening was
a Dutch dialect rendering of s'Mary
Had a Little Lamb by Mrs Gross
who responded to her encore with a
Dutch song. Mrs. W. N. Powell gave
a remarkably able and Interesting
talk on .'The bikes and Canals OF
Holland Mrs. Lundquist and Mrs
Farrell rendered beautiful German
song 'sLiches Bite" (Love's Request)
which was thoroughly enjoyed, the
encore being responded to with ode
Wacht am Rhine Germany's nation
al song. A geographical contest fol-
lowed the program. Tables Of num-
bered articles representing Dutch and
German countries, rivers, cities, peo-
pie, ETC., were placed about the rooms
and every one worked his brains hard
and fast for half hour. The prize,
small silver stein, which Mr.. Farrell
had kindly presented to the Circle,
was awarded to Miss Clara Hanson,
who with three others of her asso-
ciate teachers showed perfect cards.
The supper was genuinely Dutch,
served by four pretty Dutch capped
maids, found great favor in the eyes
and palates of all present The place
cards were in the form of Dutch
shoes and bore Dutch scenes sketch
ed in water colors. By each plate was
found tulip, the national flower of
Holland. Response to roll call was
funny Dutch stories. The Circle has
spent an exceedingly prosperous and
profitable year. The work has been
on Norway, Sweden and Holland and
many social as we'll as studious hours
have been passed. The Circle has
not been wholly selfish in its work,
having sold Red Cross stamps, pro-
ceeds given to the Tuberculosis
association The following able Of
flcers were elected for the coming
year: Mrs. w. N. Powell, Pres; Mrs.
