FARGO WILL BE ON
MERIDIAN ROAD
GREAT HIGHWAY TO PASS FROM
GULF OF MEXICO FOLLOWING
COURSE OF MERIDIAN, WILL
PASS DIRECTLY THROUGH
FARGO.

Fargo is to get one OF the proposed
national roads which the government
is going to build. AT the recent ses-
sion OF congress Senator collum Of
Illinois started legislation in this di-
rection, calling for a number Of ma
tional highways to lead out from
Washington to all parts Of the coun-
try.
A movement suggested by this idea
has led TO the plan for road direct
ly down the middle OF the continent,
running from Winnipeg, Canada. TO
the Gulf Of Mexico, following the
course Of the ninety seventh meridian
which passes just west Of the city.
Thus Fargo will be included in the
national highway proposition.
Decision TO that effect has been
made by the findings OF II. p. AL
who was through this country a few
weeks ago. This movement is one
that extends through all of the west
ern Mississippi valley states.
1t will pass through Texas, oklaho-
ma, Kansas, Nebraska and will just
skirt the two Dakotas On their east
ern borders. An of the southern
states which the meridian road will
pass have endorsed the movement, and
II Is probable that legislation in that
direction at the next session of con-
gress and in the next sessions Of the
respective state legislatures OF those
states through which the highway
will pass.
Meetings have been held to a great
extent throughout the south, where
the movement has been given its
greatest impetus. Plans have been
perfected in the building Of the road
and routes have practically been de-
cided upon as far north as the South
Dakota boundary line.

CRIMINALS GAIN SYMPATHY
mans Inhumanity to Man" Doesn't
Apply to Women and Criminals,
Ii Seems.

st. Louis, Mo-"Mans inhumanity
to man" seems in the way of being Off
set in st. Louis and other southwest
ern cities by the treatment some wom-
en- accord him-if he be a criminal.
Everyone is familiar with the occa-
sional outburst which results in flow
ers and other delicacies being sent by
women to men convicted of crimes,
even when all they knew of the prison
er is what they have read in the
newspapers.
In st. Louis recently another phase
of this hysteria, as many term it, has
developed to an unusual degree. A
number of women, having gotten their
husbands into court on one charge or
another, have refused to prosecute. In
one case the husband was returned
several different times, and in each
instance the wife relented at the last
moment. Finally he appeared charged
with wife-beating, and the court arbi-
trarily ordered the offender to prison.

Culture of Currants.

For varieties the President Wilder
is probably the best liked as it clings
to the bushes the longest. The Cher
ry, Fay's Prolific and Perfection are
also very good varieties. The soil for
currants should be very well prepared
and enriched. Practice deep blowing
before planting the currants and then
put them 6x4 feet Practice shallow
cultivation and mulch If need be. Put
in a cover crop the first Of July such
as buckwheat. This can be cultivated
into the soil in the spring, thus keep
ing up the amount of humus in the

produces the best crops, care should
be taken to see that no wood is over
two years old. Prune out old wood as

Female Scab Mite.

the mite cause intense itching. The
Irritation is much more noticeable
when the sheep are warmed up by
driving than when they remain quiet
Infection generally begins on some
portion of the side or back, and is
usually confined to these parts of the
! body.
The infected spot first consists of
a moist, yellowish, dandruff-like sub
stance, often no larger than a pin
head, and unless careful examination
be made, may easily escape detection.
If this place is scratched, the sheep
will respond by nibbling-like mo-
ton Of the mouth. Large patches are
formed either by small infected spots
located on different parts of the back
growing and uniting, or by the gradual
enlargement of a single spot. In OBJ
tanning their food, the parasites in
these patches irritate the skin of the
sheep to such an extent as to cause
the secretion of large amount Of
serum which, in drying, first takes
on the form of dandruff, and upon
extended irritation the dandruff is re-
placed by thick scabs. Where the
SCANS first form, the wool seems to be
more firmly attached to the skin than
before infection, and stands out in
tufts, giving the fleece an uneven
appearance. In time, however, being
deprived of nutrition, the wool loosens
and drops from the skin; the sheep
loses flesh and presents, on the whole,
q very uncanny appearance; and
eventually, If untreated, dies. Proper
treatment will, however destroy the
scab mite and renew the growth of
the wool.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

IT wish to let you know of a couple
of recent cures which I have made
by the use Of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. - OF this city
came to my ONCE, troubled with
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
IN its worst form. 1t started with
slight eruption and would affect most
parts Of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest. back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. recommended all
the various treatments I could think
Of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
"In the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them fair trial.
But as I did not know much about
Cuticura at that time / was doubtful
whether It would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths Of Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in few days she was COM
pletely cured.
IT lost no time IN recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -,
and this was two months ago. told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use Of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he Is completely
cured through their use. I have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that I am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.

man giving the name Of John Trask
bought an empty box, which had con.

day he hired an expressman to haul
the box to the American Express Of

to have it shipped to Galveston. Mel
Their the expressman nor the company

about the box, which was securely
nailed and weighed more than 300

EXCELLENCE OF
CLOVER FEEDS
While Most Farmers Recognize
That Red Clover Is Admir-
able for Swine Few Under
stand How to Utilize.
CBy WALTER B. LEUTZ.)

Glover Is the greatest pasture for
hogs-provided it is not allowed to
make pigs thrive at top notch.
The clover blossom Is a very pretty
flower but 1t is about as much out Of
place in the hog pasture as a rose
bush in the corn field.
While most farmers recognize that
red clover is an admirable food for
swine, few of them, comparatively, un-
derstand how to utilize clover pas
ture for hogs. We make this asser-
ton In view of the fact that clover
Is, in many instances, allowed to bios
som in the field devoted to hog-graz-
ing.
If the reader will bear in mind for
q moment that the purpose of every
plant is>to flower and 'go to seed" he
will understand that when the flower
and the seed have formed in success
sion, the seasons work of the plant
is practically over aid plant growth
gives place to plant ripening, and de-
cay.
Soon ripe soon rotten" is an old
saying and it indicates what we have
in mind in this discussion.
What we are after in pasturing hogs
on clover is feed not posies. If the
clover plants are allowed to ripen
the food-producing capacity of the
plant Is reduced.
IT, on the other hand, the plants
can be prevented from poisoning to
any great degree, they keep trying to
blossom right along, provided suffi-
cient rains descend and in doing so
the hogs are fed.
In districts where clover luxuriates,
and we find such places in many parts
of the country, swine of the right age
may be pastured upon this green food
from about June right up to early fall,
should timely rains maintain a steady
growth of the clover plant.

Historically, sheep scab Is one of
the Oldest diseases of sheep, but it's
cause was not discovered until about
the middle Of the nineteenth century
CS35), when the agent producing the
disease was found to be a very small
mite This mite is light gray in color
and the female is one-fortieth and the
MAJ one-siXtieth of an inch in length.
lNtsneral appearance the mite re-
sembles tiny spider. 1t has four
pairs Of legs, the last being very
small, and the third pair having long
thread-like appendages which are
longer in the female than in the male.
The mite crawls very slowly, showing
that its power of locomotion is weak
A female will lay from ten to twenty
eggs during her lifetime. These eggs
are SO small that they cannot be dis
tinguisheH With the naked eye. The
period of incubation is from four to
ten days, depending mainly upon tenn
perature. Gerlach, a noted authority,
estimates the descendants of single
female to be 100000 females and
100000 males at the end of 80 days.
He estimates the average number of
eggs from single female to be Is,
ten of which hatch females and five
males, and allows 15 days for each
generation.
The first symptom that attracts
ones attention to the affected animal
is its rubbing certain parts of it's back,
sides or tail against some object. or
biting at these parts, as the bites OF
