of flames, which was smothered after
she had run upstairs and had been
wrapped in a blanket. A physician

made their escape without awakening
anyone in the house. That the thiets
are amateurs is probable, for Mr..

on a dresser, was not taken.

To Grow Alfalfa.

L. R. Waldron, superintendent of
the Dickinson sub-station, gives the
following instructions for starting al
falfa:s
: The ground selected should be we'll
manured, .plowed well and planted to
corn or potatoes. This corn or potato
crop should be kept very clean during
the period Of growth. l wish to en-
phasize this point in keeping the land
clean. The extra labor in doing this
wall pay for itself many times over the
following season when the alfalfa is to
be grown.
In the early spring of the year fol-
lowing the corn stubble or potato land
should be disced. Later on the soil
should be worked occasionally untilla
in May. This working Of the soil
serves two purposes. The main thing
is to kill off the young weeds which
will germinate during April and May.
While cultivation helped q great deal
in keeping the previous cultivated crop
in clean condition, yet one invariably
finds plenty Of weeds coming up the
next spring. We find it quite impor-
tant to keep the new alfalfa crop as
free from weeds as possible as the
young alfalfa plants are not good weed
fighters.

County Court.

The September term of the County
Court has been in session since Mon
day, Judge w. S. Wickersham presid-
ing.
There are a number of cases before
the court from Oakes, where the de-
PENDANTS are charged with having frac-
tured the prohibition law. Probably
the most important case, however, and
the one to attract the greatest interest
comes from Fullerton. An important
point of interest to every farmer in the
county and state was brought out
during the hearing.
Edward McKeague, a prominent
farmer of Fullerton, was charged with
having burned straw stacks 'out Of
season" without having either plowed
or burned firebreak. It was the first
case of the kind to be tried in the county
if not in the state. The law specifies
that straw stacks can not be burned
except during the months of July and
August, without firebreak at least
fifty feet wide, having been plowed or
burned around the stack previous to
burning. In the case of Mr.. McKeague
he burned his own straw stacks on his
own land, kept the fire under perfect
control so that it did not spread, but
had not made the firebreak. While
technically he might have been guilty
under the law, the jury failed to agree,
standing six to six at all times. Had
Mr.. McKeague been found guilty al
most every farmer in the county would
have been found equally guilty of the
same offense, as hardly one has COM
piled with the law in this respect. The
matter has now been brought strongly
to the attention of the farmers and it
is hardly likely any of them will violate
it in the future. The result of the
trial gives general satisfaction.
A verdict of not guilty was returned
in the assault and battery charge
against w. "A. Jones who is a resident
Of the'F Forbes vicinity. It appears that
Mrs. Jones has entered an action for
divorce and in discussing the case Jones
was charged with having assaulted her
and beaten her up. From the evidence
submitted the jury could not see it in
that light and so acquitted him.
All of Wednesday the court listened
to the alleged blind pig case against
c. Edward Gnauck of Oakes. The
case was bitterly contested all through.
Many Of the Oakes city officials, in
cluding Mayor Malander, Auditor Smith
and Alderman Siocum, were present
testifying for the state. The prosecu-
tion was conducted by States Attorney
Cassels, while the defendant had re-
tanned Attorneys Youker & Perry Of
this city, and A. P. Guy of Oakes.
The jury retired last evening and re-
manned out until noon today, being un-
able to come to an agreement.

Silo in Operation,

Through the kindness Of A. G. Ram
harter and his car, Ed. Stock, F. C.
Root and the writer were given the
privilege Saturday afternoon of seeing
the silo on the Savold farm south Of
the city. The men were busily en-
gagged in filling the silo with corn.
Three teams were kept busy hauling
the green corn from the field, which
had been cut and tied with twine. The
stalks were thrown on the self feeder
and the way that cutter ate up that
corn was not slow. AS the fodder and
ears, were cut they were elevated by a
blower to the top Of the bin, which
was yet open. Arthur Savold was in
side and was tramping the fodder solid
and once in a while adding a sprink-
ling of salt. The fodder was we'll cut
and the ears sliced into pieces about an
inch thick. The power came from a
gasoline engine. It took two days to
fill the Savold silo, and now the crew
is busy filling the one on the Beckwith
farm.
The silo is coming thing for this
country. It not only saves every part
Of the corn. but it gets it away from
the early frosts. Ensilage is the best
thing there sis to keep up the flow q
milk in cows, as well as making il
richer. It is something cows and
horses relish. The new silos are Of
the panel kind. They will hold about
twenty-five tons and cost each $255.
The cutter costs 5000, but one is al
that is needed for whole neighbor.
hood, 80 the expense Of the cutter car
easily be divided. II would be well fol
our farmers to etudy the question.

Churches Are Indignant.

The church going people, Of Oakes,

terms at last Sundays services when
the two principal churches adopted the
resolutions which we print below.
The question involved in the resolu-
tions, with regard to the alleged attl-
tude Of the administration toward the
International Brewers Congress, is
one that ought to concern not only
church going people but every citizen
who is opposed to the spread Of the
liquor traffic Similar resolutions are
being passed and sent in to the adj
ministration daily by numerous organi-
cations all over the country, and what
ever else may result from the same
it is certain that the president will
have. some interesting reading await
ing him when he returns from his
western political trip.

unanimously by the congregations of
both churches, follow:
Resolved, That we, the members Of
the Methodist Episcopal and Presby-
terian churches Of the city Of Cakes.

the services Of said churches, do here
