to 20 square feet. Capillary attraction
is natures means of bringing the water
to the surface. The speaker illustrated
with Jumps of sugar aud colored water
how the water is stopped at the bottom
of the furt6w when capillary attraction
is destroyed by lack Of discine. He also
showed by using a layer of powdered
gu gar over a lump the use of the dust
or weed mulch in stopping cracks and
preventing evaporation.
The fertility of the soil must not be
overlooked. A plant. like an animal or
a person. needs all the essentials of life
and if any are lacking the plant suffers
or dies. A crop takes from the soil
much that is needed and II nothing is
replaced the ground becomes exhausted
and worthless until built up. It is like
always checking on your bank account
and making no deposit. North Dakota
has q rich soil and care should be taken
to keep it such. Nitrogen, phosphorus and
potash taken from the soil by cropping
must be restored in SOM. way.
Crop rotation is the soil preserver. A
crop of clover or alfalfa stores up nitro
gen from the air and it's roots 60 deep
into the ground, enriching it with
nitrogen and organic matter. This may
be cut and with corn makes a we'll
balanced food for stock, the manure be-
ing put back upon the land, giving back
80 per cent of the plant food consumed +;
or the. alfalfa or clover may be ploughed
under. Phosphorus is returned to the
soil in manure. Here the western farm
er may we'll take counsel from the ex-
perience of others and save and
use manure as q valuable asset.
This leads to diversified farming and
the Introduction of fine stock. Potash
is found in clay and lime rock. No
alfalfa can be grown in a sour soil and
the remedy is lime.
The seed must be plump and strong,
with enough vitality to send strong roots
down for nourishment and a strong shoot
upward to sun and air. Grading seed
pays large returns. By grading soc
bushels of wheat down to so bushels the
yield is increased from Is to SO pei
cent. 1t pays to detassle barren corr
stalks 10 protect the fertile ones.
The system of experiment stations
and farms in North Dakota will surely
make the state a great farming empire
but every child. instead of a small pc
cent, should be taught agriculture.
The United States produces less pc
acre than foreign countries. 1t must b.
made to produce much more than i
does. Our cereal and meat exports ar
falling off. This must not be allowed
1--WE must; produce more and besides tn
commercial there is also the moral side
This land is not ours. 1t is an asset o
the universe. ours to use and not abuse,
ours to hold as a sacred trust, to Guard
protect and maintain and hand down a
rich as when it came to us.

S. W. U%NKENHOLZ, THE GROWING
OF LIVE STOCK IN CONJUNCTION
WITH N. D. FARMING

OOANo A1o4N
WITH N. D. FARMING
The speaker referred to the attitude
of. the Northern Pacific toward the
people CT the Northwest and thought
the road was doing ever more than could
be expected, to assist the farmers.
Mr.. Unkenholz came to Custer Flats,
near Mandan, in 1883, when only eigh-
teen years of age. He spoke, not from
theory or from conditions elsewhere, but
from experience right here.
In 1884 wheat went 81 bushels to the
acre on the Unkenholz farm. Then
came a series of dry years and he began
to think what could be done. Not able
to purchase, he started with a bunch of
cattle on shares in 1887, and has always
had cattle since. He said his first
reason for keeping live stock was to
have something to fall back on in dry
years and he has found that it keeps up
the fertility of the soil and it is the
most profitable way of marketing some
grain and forage crops. He suggested
that in summer stock may be put out
for pasturage in the rough country
and timothy, bronze. alfalfa, clover and
corn raised for winter feed, these also
serving as rotation crops as we'll. MIR.
Unkenholz finds that several varieties
of dent corn mature if put in right but
said it is not well to do everything else
before putting in a corn crop and then
expect it to succeed.

COL. R. A. WILKINSON, THE De.
VELOPMENT OF N. D. FARMING

COL. X. A.. WILLIAMSON, THE DE-
VELOPMENT OF N. D. FARMING"
Col. Wilkinson spoke from personal
experience and his words had weight.
Coming from the Red River valley he
told how that fertile section was first
settled by a few real farmers, some who
wished to be such but knew nothing of
the business, and mostly by the bonanza
farmer, who cared nothing for the
country and knew less about farming.
The farming was all wheat, the settlers
foolishly figuring that the land was
inexhaustible or would at least last their
time and they would make their pile
and 60 back east to spend it. The
Colonel told a good story of one old New
Yorker who enjoyed split pea soup on
his new farm and decided to raise split
peas himself. asking at the store for
split peas to plant. This gentleman
gained health by his farming venture
and had $50, 900 worth of experience. A
COW was a curiosity in those days but
was useful as a sort of guide post. the
Colonel said, directions being given
something like this: Go north until
you come where a COW is staked out,
then east until you come to another
cow"

The Yves, Missouri Slope has bette,
farmers than the valley had-men who
know their business and who are here
to stay and the broken country is better

on the eve Of a decision that will mear

perience of the Valley and decide right

THOMAS COOPER

Supt. Waldron very pleasantly intro
duced Thomas Cooper, of the land de-
partnent of the Northern Pacific. who
spoke briefly of the necessity of the
people and the railroads working to-
gether, for the interest of mi is the
interest of the other. Admitting that
possibly the railroads had not always
taken that view Of the case, he said
they were now trying to make amends
and to help the farmers in the develop
ment Of the country in every way
possible. He said the difficulties of the
railroad may not be appreciated. That
they are regulated by the people
through their commissioners as no other
business is. Capital is needed to main
tain existing lines and to build new
ones and this must come from the east
and these people expect a reasonable
return on their investment. If the rail-
roads are unable to satisfy them that
all is we'll, then capital goes to cover.
Mr.. Cooper suggested it might be we'll
10 regulate with a little less high hand
until the roads necessary to develop the
state are secured.
He said he first became interested in
farm development farther west in 1895
and decided that North Dakota could do
better. Accordingly the railro ad lands
were withdrawn from the market and
the N. P. set about finding out what
they were good for, establishing and
maintaining demonstration farms and
working with the agricultural stations
of the state. To provide the necessary
means for moving crops. the Northern
Pacific planned the system of branch
lines already begun. Capital became
frightened and work had to be tempo
rarily stopped.
He said the N. P. was the friend of
the people. ready at any time to discuss
grievances and remedy them If possible.

LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT

LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT
Tuesday evening a short musical and
literary program was given before the
regular address for the entertainment of
the visitors.
The Davey orchestra gave several
selections that were very pleasing.
Miss Marjorie Lyle recited THE Gypsy
Flower Girl" in her usual easy and
pleasing manner. The piano and
violin duet by little Thora and frederic
Jessen brought loud applause and an
encore. The quartette by Messrs. Price,
Hughes. Selden and Zetzman was also
encored.

PROF. SHEPHERDS. PRACTICAL
TALK ON CROP ROTATION

PROF. SHEPHERDS PRACTICAL
TALK ON CROP ROTATION"
Prof. shepperd began his talk BY ask-
ing how many present grew corn and
the question fdet with quite a liberal
showing of hands: Corn fits in nicely
in getting ready for wheat and flax, the
money crops. If corn 10 raised on q field
mi year, fax next and wheat the third
year. more grain is harvested than
would be the case if no corn had been
raised and the corn crop is clear profit
besides. Corn causes moisture to 20
down. At the Dickinson station ION
corr land moisture is now found at a
depth of nine or ten feet. This is an
excellent preparation for alfalfa. For
feeding, corn has more value than any
other crop. and has been found equally
good for all kinds of stock.
Clover, alfalfa and field peas, or
peas with oats, are good crops to pre-
pare the land for grain. They return
i NITROGEN to the soil and their long roots
furnish a necessary soil binder. At
the Fargo station alfalfa cut green and
dried is being fed to poultry with good
results. the dry leaves being first
softened with warm water.
Another rotation to prepare for grain
is grass, or grass and grain together,
ploughed under; and q crop of manIel
wurzels produces almost as good results
! as one of alfalfa.
! Along with the consideration of these
forage crops comes the question and
the necessity of stock for the farm to
take the corn fodder and pea hay to
market on foot.
Pigs thrive on grain and pasturage.
They like variety and do especially well
on an acre planted with one bushel Of
peas, one bushel If barley, one bushel
of milIet, and two pounds of rape. Lei
the forage get some eight inches high
before turning the pigs in. Two sucf
fields to use alternately are better thar

those fed solely IN grain.
Mixed farming encourages economy
and economy is infectious. When Their
is cream money or butter money it il
not long until the family begins t.
wonder if that will not pay the runnin,
,expenses and n economy leads t
another. Money comes in from moi
sources and the farmer is able to pay
cash rather than run a bill until he get
returns from his one grain crop. Oath
cash basis he isemore careful tooGa6ou
spending so much as he would if :havin!
his purchases CHARGED. !
In closing, Prof. Shepherd urged th
farmers to put in a corn patch for hogs
to try alfalfa. to grow field peas an
root crops for feed, and to raise s'oc
but not to attempt fancy stock until the
had learned how to handle comma
stock successfully.
