the remains The principal witness
Tor the defense In the Churches Ferry
Incident was John Anderson, conYics
ted blind-pig ger,, a man who has mo
scruples about the violation ofs the pro
hfbition law and whose Idea Of drunk
:enness belongs to past generate Ion IL he
ever had any on that, subject, Men
who are soaked a good part Of the time
are not supposed to discriminate when
a man is drunk and when he ID sober.
When the judge tells the Senate and
the whole State that he would 60 into
Drug Stores and would buy whiskey
and would drink it there, and went in
there as plain John F. Cowan and not
as Judge, that he had a right to 60 in
theer and that he violated no law In
going in there, he can not expect to
have the respect Of the Law abiding
element of the state and as the Senate
are presumed to belong to that element
we can not expect them to Justify such
shameless defense " 0 "a 4. Y Y

a valuable asset to the Dacotah. Some

Several influences have been at wor.

Several influences have been at WORK
to bring about the assurance of the
success of the advocates of the mea-
sure in the senate. In the last con-
gress 1t came so near passing that
there was some uncertainty until the
last votes were in. Since that time
there have been several changes in
that body and nearly every change
was such as to change the vote from
a particular state from that of opposi-
ton to one of agreement.
Also there have been some serious
and startling Developments in the
Lorimer case that are sure to have
an effect on the vote on that propo-
sition, at least if the members Of that
body pay heed to the attitude of their
various constituencies The testimony
OF Mr.. Funk, however it may be denied
by men directly implicated by him, will
not be wholly discredited in the minds
of the people of the nation, particularly
since 1t has been sustained, at least in
substance, by the afidavits and the
statements of other men. 1t is hard
to see how Mr.. Funk would have any
thing to gain by representing matters
in this instance especially since he had
cause to say what he said would be
put to severe investigation. His time
ly assistance to Mr.. Kohlsaat caught
the popular fancy, and this, too
helps to establish his story in the pop
ular mind.
With all this in view,. the senat is
not likely to turn deaf ear to the
demands of the people. There will
be fight in all probability, but it does
not seem likely that it will be possible
even to tack upon the bill an amend
ment like the Sutherland amendment
of the last session, which aroused the
opposition of certain southern. mem
bers.
There is great reason to expect
| that the direct election plan will meet
with the approval of the present body,
and that one of the means of grossest
corruption in our national politics will
be removed.

PROHIBITED SEEDS,

l call your attnetion to the fact that
the North Dakota Pure Seed Law pro-
hibits the sale and distribution of agri.
cultural seeds which contain the seeds
either Quack-grass, Canada Thistle,
Sow-thistle, of of Dodder. Therefore
In submitting samples of seeds for pur.
chase in this state you will facilitate
your work if pou submit only samples
which represent bulks of seed which
you can furnish free from these types
Of weed seeds.
Our investigations show that Quack.
grass seed is most commonly found in
Bronze Grass seed, Dodder in Alfalfa
seed, and Canada Thistle seed in Can.
ada Blue Grass seed. These sorts OF
forage seeds should, therefore, receive
very careful scrutiny before being sent
into North Dakota.
AS the law was new on the books
and as we desired to give everyone
an opportunity to boone familiar with
its provisions we have not our various
publications, or In our annual report
published names o.; firms who have
offered seeds In this state which were
of low, quality. We shall, however
during the present year, put the public
clauses of the law into effect; and in
order that the distribution Of weed
seeds shall be reduced to a minimum
we shall, in all cases Of evidence neg
hgence or disregard Of the law, have
the parties concerned in the distribu
ton Of such seeds made responsible
for the penalties as called for in the
law whether they are agents for you
or dealers in and distributors Of your
seeds. s# 81 5 j. : .5s
T would, therefore, respectfully sug
:gest that you sell or submit for con
stderation in this state only such seeds
as can meet this requirement s:$s.s .5,z;

QUACK.GRASS.

Since the pure seed law went into
effect, there has been persistent com.
plant on the part Of number OF
wholesale seed houses that it is very
difficult to find Bronze grass seed !:
which does not contain Quack-grass
seed. ~ '#SEiA
My invariable reply to these letters
has been: IF 1t is not possible to pro
cure Bronze grass seed free from Quack
grass seed, believe that the North
Dakota farmers will agree with me
that it Is better not to SOW or sell such
seed" I know it to be essentially a
fact that there are many fields OF
Bronze grass inwhich it would be diff
cult to find Quack grass. 1 also know
that many fields contain small patches
OF Quack grass and it is these that are
supplying most of the Quackgrass seed
on the market. + -
On account of the drouth last year
the supply of Bronze grass was great
ly reduced. If you have good Bronze
grass sod in which you are sure there
is no Quack grass, it will be worth
while to allow it to go to seed. The
crop ought to pay well as a seed pro-
Queer for anyone who will see that his
field is free from Quack grass. If not,
you should in no case think of cutting
it for sale as seed as practically all of
the Northwestern states have laws pro-:
h1biting the sale of such quack infested
seed. All should take an interest In
this matter or else quack grass will
soon become a curse to this grain
growing region ~
II any farmer who has a field Of
Brome-grass which he thinks he will
let stand for seed the coming year will
communicate with me, will make ar.
rangements to have the field inspected
during the growth season. If there is
no Quack-grass and the seed is proper
ly saved, there should be good sale
for it, In respect to this matter, will
be glad to here from any one and if
during the coming season, you are III
you are in doubt as to whether YOU
have quack grass growing on your
lands send us in portion of the stem,
roots and leaves, and we will tell you
whether or not the plant you send is
quack grass Address

APPEALS TO ANIMAL NATURE.

In the Cowan Impeachment proceed
ings the statement of the Judge in his
defense ought to be enough to satisfy
an up-to-date community that the
judge Is out Of touch with respectable
civilization. He makes light of Incl
dents that for the ordinary Judge
would be considered disgraceful and
aims to appeal to the animal nature Of
the senate and the audience to secure
support in his trial. Those who heard
the testimony in the Hansboro incident
the Bisbee incident, and the Churches
Ferry incident may easily recognize
all three as part Of one long glorious
spree. The whole community is not
going to testify falsely against a man
for political reasons. Men from all
stations in life and belonging to differ
zent political parties have testified In
support Of the charges in the impeach-
ment articles governing the incidents
mentioned. The Judge admits that a
party OF eight went out on the Hans
boro occasion and had twelve bottles
OF beer with them, and had a high old
time, were intending to go over to Can
ada to where lived q Scotch piper
where they all expected, Of course. to

CARE OF THE PIG CROP.

The annual pig crop is beginning to
arrive at the agricultural College. The
pigs are coming in filters of II and IL,
and even IL and practically all of them
are being saved and reared. How few
farmers succeed in raising a high per
Ecent Of pigs from their sow? They
keep SOW whole season for litter
| of pigs and then fail to raise but three
or four pigs Of the crop narrowed and
and in many cases lose them all and
! then complain it does not pay to raise
hogs. The facts are it will not pay to
raise hogs unless one. can succeed in
raising fair size filters. If this Is
accomplished one of the big steps in
producing swine economically has been
attained >E ssse ~ G<Si; - 5!sE::r
OF course the size and vigor Of the
filters narrowed by the brood sows will
depend very largely upon how they
have been feed and handled during the
time of pregnancy. Unless SOW is
$500 q At+eASA AApS1 Oh IL pAOCClu dIu COu-
pelledto take exercise, large vigorous
litters can not be looked for. If the
soWs have not been properly cared for
during pregnancy, there is all tn more
need for greater vigilance during far
rowing time, or the period covered by
this discussion. >>@.,5 %s% n ..
We place the sows that are to far

a. week before narrowing time and we
get them accustomed to having us go

HORTON is THERE.

Hurrah for Horton We sing his
praise, and can reach the highest note
In doing so. If Mr.. Horton knew this
, was to happen he would probably say
"cut 1t, ''but he has it coming for no
= man has ever done so much for Devils
Lake in a musical way as has the
president of the Commercial Club who
is responsible in large measure for
: the wonderful success of the first must
cal festival held in this city.
i, The fact that the St. Paul Symphony
orchestra has come and gone and left
a lasting impression not only in the
rendition of the most excellent music
lever heard in this city, but also in
dollars and cents, is indeed significant
land we can trace the cause for all this
to no. other parsonage than W. H.
Horton. His untiring efforts have won
fame for Devils Lake and this city is
! now placed on the map in the musical
world to such an extent that the best
i'm the business will come here and
will pay the way in.
The institution of the elaborate affair
which was greeted by packed house
last Tuesday evening has paved way
ito an annual event which is bound to
bring results. The every detail was
cared for and the visitors from out of
the city are still talking about it, while
the St. Paul Symphony orchestra ap-
preciate the fact that this is the best
place that the organization has struck
on it's tour not only in matter of at
tendance but in appreciation of their
efforts.
s, Why Mr.. Horton should receive all
the praise can not be imagined by all,
but when the matter was preached
1t looked like one of the impossible
things and it remained for Mr.. Horton
: to show Devils Lake that it was not,
and he did. We give it to him and
trust that in so doing that it will en-
courage him to greater effort in doing
for Devils Lake all that he has map.
ped out which if accomplished will
4 bring this city in the front rank.
s .5 What Devils Lake has accomplished
In a musical way means that it can
accomplish just as much along other
81 lines and with. the success of the
musical undertaking the centre Com.
mercial Club has been inspired with
4 broader ideals and the spirit is such
that the next census can not help but
reach the II, 900 mark. It looks big
but watch Devils Lake grow.
5tS The Commercial Club secured $500
The visitors left $500 more while the
orchestra left$250 more. Devils Lake
mas received over $1,000 worth of adver
stising az result of the concert
The event has demonstrated to our
