droppings to make the highest grade Of
fertilizer from them,
Rather fictitious value has been
placed on the droppings of FOWLS and
pigeons This is due. to the fact that
many argue that they should be as rich
and valuable as the natural guano which
was so lavishly used for fertilizer at an
earlier period in the history of the solth.
AS matter of fact, the birds producing
the guano secured chiefly from the west
ern coast of South America fed almost
exclusively on fish, which is a highly nj
trogenous foods hence excrements were
rich in this element. Then, in guano
produced in hot, dry climate the mois-
ture is quickly evaporated and the mate
rial preserved IN better condition than
would be the case in our climate. Poul-
try manures In an air-dried state only
contain from to 3 per cent of nitro
gen aud l to 1-3 per cent each of phos-
phorc acid and potash. The nitrogen, Of
course, is in very quickly valuable form

keep Vt dry and sprinkle earth over 1t
as fast as ii is made Volatile materials
of this character should be applied to
the land as soon as possible. They
may be used under the drill row for

is always best TO apply them so they

THE COUNTY SEAT CASE.

The rehearing of the Pembina County
seat case was held before the supreme
court at Bismarck on Saturday, Justice
Morgan presiding. Brief oral argu-
ments we're presented by attorneys
Young and Lawrence of Fargo for Penn
bina and attorney George Bangs of
Grand Forks argued for Cavalier. At
torneys e. w. Conmey of Pembina and
D.J. Laxdal of Cavalier were present.
The principal point argued was whether
the law of North Dakota restricts the
petition for removal and the consequent
vote ffbm its present location to some
other place specific, or whether the
law permits the voter to vote for any
place within the county that be prefers.
The court took the case under advise
mentand will make their decision known
later at such time as suits their conven.
fence.
Pembina thinks it has the best of the
argument in their case, but probably
Cavalier has similar opinion of the
other side, hence we both will have to
wait the verdict Of the supreme tribunal
and accept such verdict with such pat
ience or exultation as it may agree with
our personal feeling and local interests.

his living by his wits, could give him
cards and spades at his own tricks in

There is lonely grave unmarked by
even wooden cross out in lonesome
prairie cemetery not far from where the
Pembina river joins the Red. It is the
grave OF noted frotiersman, buffalo
hunter and fur trader. A pioneer who
stood for his people as leader among
them, and who represented them as such
in legislative halls. Simple hearted,
jovial, Joe Rolette sleeps in grave al
most unknown. Once his string Of
shrieklng Red river carts,was the event
of the year in the little city of st. Paul.
Oace no name was better known or more
often spoken than Joe Rolette, but no
marble slab has that name engraved
upon it.
In the city Of st. Paul on an eminence
which overlooks it, il q magnificent
pile Of polished marble. It is build.
ing costing about s5y 600, 600 and in scope
and detail equals almost any building in
America. It is the pride of every citizen
Of the state and the particular pride Of
the st. Paul people, and the show place
Of the city. Every stranger is conduct
ed through the marble halls and up
the beautiful stairways from one splend-
idly appointed room to another. Port.
rats adorn the walls. beautiful pictures
are painted above the alcoyes, the flags
Of the Civil War veterans are there.
But. nowhere is the picture or the name
OF the man who made the capitol build
ing possible in st. Paul.
The story is we'll known to historians
The capitol Of Minnesota was by act Of
legislature removed from st. Paul to ST.
Peter. but the bill was never signed by
the governor for, during the last ten
days Of tho session the billawhich was in

In the building Of this grand structure
surely one small slab OF marble could
have well been spared from the thou

paused minute undecided, and then
went away.
The witness with the green macaw
feather exclaimed: ooh, John, dear,
I'm glad we've seen the president, but
we mustn't miss the view. Well go
up again tomorrow
The president strolled to the senate
wing of the capitol. The elevator man
took him down in the basement and
he next made his first tour Of inspec.

passage. After having lived in Wash.
