MOISTURE AND HUMUS.
Prof. J. II. Sheppard.
: *44*$$+*******:i

The retaining of fertility, the de-
struction of insects and obnoxious
weeds, the adding of humus, retain
ing of moisture and the keeping clear
of plant diseases are commonly men.
toned as the essential items of good
resulting IRON crop rotation all Of
which may be applied to limited ex-
tent in this part of North Dakota.
They apply to less extent, however,
than they do to regions of heavier
rainfall as less fertility is carried
away by washing of rain over the sur
face or by the water which seeps in
to the ground to great depths. In
sects will probably not be as severe
in this part of the state as in more
humid countries as they have less
opportunity to protect themselves dur
ing the hard seasons of the year.
Moisture and humus are essential
here even more than in almost any
other portion Of the country. The pre-
ceding speaker showed you how mois.
ture comes up by means OF capilliarity
to the bottom of the furrow and then
stops and will not pass into the fur
row slice unless some special means
is taken to press them together. He
did not tell you what his material
was but will tell you now that it was
loaf sugar and that some coloring H.
quid was used and that it drew up
quickly as you note, to the top of the
lower piece and has not even yet af-
ter an hour of time colored the lower
portion of the upper piece which rep.
resents the portion of soil turned over
by the plow. You will thus see that
the moisture must be given chance
to move to the portion OF the soil
where you want 1t II your crops are to
do we'll. On the second piece, you will
note, there is covering over the top
of pulverized sugar to represent a soil
mulch. The colored liquid passed
through the lump of sugar rapidly un'
til it reached the powdered portion at
the top and you can see from where
you are sitting that it has not yet
proceeded sixteenth Of an inch into
the pulverized covering. Here is a
lesson in a nutshell viz: that the fur
row slice must be put in close contact
with the bottom Of the furrow so as to
let the moisture pass by and that the
surface must be kept covered with
a loose mulch to prevent the moisture
from passing away entirely and from
being lost in the air.
Humus which is partially decayed
vegetable matter in soil holds mois-

Commencing Saturday, March Is,
the Hotel Mckenzie will change over
to the European plan of management
as was originally intended by the pro.
prietor, and it is confidently expected
that this mode Of conducting this
mammoth new hostelry will prove de-
cidedly popular with the travelling
public.
Edward L. Rowen has assumed his
duties as steward and caterer, and
Mine Host Patterson is especially for
tunate In securing his services. Mr..
Rowen came to Bismarck from Minot
where he for the past three years
has been in charge Of the Hotel Le-
land. Prior to his stay In Minot he
was employed as assistant manager
and steward of the Chicago Beach
Hotel at Chicago for six years. He
spent the previous three years in the
hotel business at Los Angeles and 9TH
er California points, and has had Alto
gether over twelve years of valuable
experience.
Mr.. Rowen is determined to make
thu Hotel Mckenzie and its cafe
known over the entire northwest as
the best in this section of the United
States in every respect.

ture like q sponge. The man who
grows corn, potatoes and root crops
to produce soil mulch which will
hold the moisture for his future crops
will be obliged to keep live stock of
some sort to market these products
through. This will result in a consid-
cradle amount of stable manure to be
applied to his land and that makes
one of the best forms of humus ma
terial if applied after it is well rot
ted and will have the effect Of helping
the land to Withstand the dry spells
when they come. On the experiment
station farm lying about mile from
the point where we are meeting We
have found that this plan of having
cultivated crops and keeping soil
mulch over them brings the effect OF
the moisture gradually going deeper
into the ground until we fear that it
will go so deep that it will not all
come back for the use of the growing
crops. We find that it has gone down
to the eighth and ninth foot and it is
probable that it will reach a still
greater depth If the process Is con-
tinued. While / think of it l will men,
ton the fact that such land is the
place to start your alfalfa crop as
this moisture to the depth of eight
feet or more is of considerable advan-
tage to that crop. l will also take
this occasion to say that our super
intendent of this sub-station has Civ.
en- great deal of attention to alfalfa
growing and has made it successful
vrop on this farm. On the sub-sta-
ton at Wiliston we find the same sue
cess following our efforts to grow al
falfa and l want to suggest that you
begin trying it in q small way asking
all the information that you require
and learn to produce this very useful
crop.
Several years ago the Nebraska Elk.
pertinent station found that in throw.
ing down hay for cattle the alfalfa
leaves dropped off in considerable
number and were easily gathered to.
gether and scooped up from the floor.
1t occurred to them to try feeding
these alfalfa leaves to pigs and the
plan was found to be an excellent
one. 1t is almost as valuable as wheat
shorts If mixed with a ration of
ground barley or corn meal for feed
ing pigs. If your wives ever happen
to see the poultry have a chance to
pick up the alfalfa leaves you will be
obliged to save them for that purpose
regularly. might say that it will pay
you very we'll as it proves an excellent
stimulus for poultry during the win
ter. We usually take the leaves and
pour hot water over them, allowing
them to soak few minutes before
we give them to the poultry.

WASH THAT ITCH AWAY.
It is said that there are certain
springs in Europe that give relief and
cure to Eczema and other skin dis
eases. II you knew that by washing
in these waters you could be relieved
from that awful itch, wouldn't you
make every effort to take q trip to
Europe at once? Would you not be
willing to spend your last cent to find
the cure?
But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief Is right
here in your own home town.
A simple wash Of OIL Of Winter
green, Thymol and other ingredients
as compounded only in D. D. D. Pre-
scription will bring instant relief to
that terrible burning itch, and leave
the skin as smooth and healthy as that
of a child.
If you have not already tried It, get
at least q 25-cent bottle today. We
assure you Of instant relief.

or blow, the growing OF grass and
forage crops tends to relieve this con-
dition and where the drifting has &C.
tually started the spreading of straw
litter or even wet straw from an old
stack bottom will check it and very
largely prevent it from doing serious
damage. 1t must be applied quickly,
however, and distributed thinly in or
der not to smother the crop. When
land starts to drift the trouble is u.s.
ually found to be more or less contag-
ious and some method for quickly pre-
venting it is necessary if the crop Is
to be saved.

MI|'kENz|E HOTEL To BE
RUN ON EUROPEAN PLAN
EDWARD RoWEN THE NEW ST EwARo AND CATERER HAS Been
BUSINESS FOR THE PAST TWELVE YEARS, AND
EMINENTLY QUALIFIED T o MAKE THE CAFE AND DINING
ROOM SERVICE OF THE Mex ENzE eEsT-IN NORTH


Commencing with Saturday morning
when the hotel and cafe start on the
European plan, the cafe will be
thrown open to the public at $3.50 a.
m. and will be open until nine o'clock
in the evening without closing. Short
orders will be served all day. There
will be many innovations in the SER
vice offered the guests.
One of the first of these will be
the club breakfasts which viii be
served from $3.50 until II a. m. at
prices ranging from Is cents to Is
cents. From IL m. to 200 p. m. the
management will continue to serve
luncheon at so cents. In the evening
a special bill will be offered for din
ner, and in addition to the regular
short orders there will be a large
number of special dishes served from

Sunday evening dinners will con-
tinue to be a feature of the service,
at special price of IS cents, and
during the dinner hour there will be
Z musical program each Sunday even
ing by Lochner's Harp Orchestra.
These dinners have for the past few
weeks constantly increased in attrac-
tiveness for capital city residents.
One of the new innovations will be
the catering to private dinner par
ties, luncheons, and banquets. A fea.
ture which will in time become unus-
ually popular with capital city host:
esses, will be the facilities offered by
the Hotel Mckenzie for card parties
and other social functions followed by
luncheons. Ladies wishing to give
card parties in the afternoon will be
interested to learn that there have
been rooms provided by the manage
ment which are capable OF seating
fifty guests, and luncheon will also be
served.
After the first of April there will be
another feature added to the service
which will grow in popularity with the
large number of shoppers who are

E. D. Bartle has sold his farm north
west of Sentinel Butte. to Charles Carl
son at $45 per acre. The price probably
includes good improvements. MIR. Bartle
will sell his personal property effects at
auction on the oath.
The PRESS has already mentioned
the Commissioner Stoddard and Senator
Martin cattle sales, but here is q report
more in detail from the Billings County
Republican: ~. B. Stoddard and AL.
Martin got back Saturday night from
their stock shipping trip to Chicaeo-and
they struck a good market. 26 of Mr..
Martins steers sold for $7.15 and
brought him $103. 20 each. gross, and II
of Mr.. Stoddard's sold al the same price
and brought him $780, 90 each. gross.
Mr.. Stoddard's whole shipment of 70
head of steers brought him an AVERAGE
price of S.. 81 and netted him SIS. 90 per
head. Mr.. Martins shipment of 14s
steers brought him ar average of $3.50
and netted him $73. so per head. When
you ship a bunch of 148 steers to Chi
caeo and they give an average weight
of I. 246 pounds as did. Mr.. Martins,
you have to raise good cattle. Mr.. Stod-
dard's bunch of 70 head showed an aver
age weight of ,272 pounds. From these
figures it will readily be seen that these
gentlemen r raising a high class of
CATTLE
In a recent issue of the Hetlineer
County Herald is an account of the 2
horse and two 4-horse loads of flax be-
ing hauled to market by P. H. Rumble,
who spends his winters hutchinson. An
account of the owner s farm is given
as follows: Mount Pleasant farm n
tains 1, 200 acres and is located in one
of the richest farming communities in
the state. Only $50 acres were in crop
this year but the result was very crafty
ing to the proprietor. and this is rather
unusual as Mr.. Rumble is an old time
rancher. The ranchers were put out of
business by the homesteader farmers,
but every rancher who has taken up
farming is making the business pay a
handsome profit. They have the advan-
tage of knowing the conditions of the
country and, by watching the work of
the early settlers, have learned many
things that would have cost much
money to have found out by exeriment-
ing. With thousands of acres of range
it was easy for the rancher to make
money and it has been a hard matter
for most of them 10 change to farming.
Mr.. Rumble still has a good sized bunch
of sheep on his farm and says it would
be impossible for him to feel at home
if he could not see or hear a bunch of
the woody fellows. Until a few days ago
Mr.. Rumble had two breaking outfits at
work on his farm. If the conditions are
as favorable in the spring as at the
present time he will nearly double his
crop acreage mex season. With wheat
close to the dollar mark and flax a little
better than two dollars, farming appeals
even to the ranchers, and although
they fought hard to discourage the early
farmers, they are right in the game now
and seem to enjoy it.
