generally for public Illumination. The
1910 ampere magnetic is used in
several cities for street lighting. So
keokuk is to be immensely favored
as regards the brilliancy OF its noctur-

The new system will be introduced
as rapidly as construction may. be
found to be possible This new lamp,
the $3.50 magnetic, has been on
the market for the short period Of six
months. Previous to that time the
1910 ampere magnetic was the stan
dard. 1t will give double the candle
power illumination of the arc lights
that are to be discarded for the new
er and better system. AS Stone &

Keokuk 1t is the desire of the firm
to have the street railway and light
ing systems here fully modernized
and represent the highest develop
ment in that direction.
Increasing Capacity Of Plant.
The capacity Of the electric light
power plant is to be doubled in order
to meet the demands that will be
placed on it from now until the water
power dam shall have been compile
ted. This addition to the equipment
is about installed. It includes 1900
horsepower engine, direct connected
to a 5o0-kilowatt railway generator,
which will furnish power for the arc
lights and the street railway system,
and 300-kilowatt incandescent light
generator, driven by rope drive, for
the private lighting.

New Car Barn.

New Car Barn.
Among the Improvements contem-
plated in the rebuilding Of the street
railway system is modern, com.
modious car barn. 1t will be built of
brick, one story, and provided with
all necessary conveniences for the
employees, such as steel lockers, bath
room and toilets. 1t will be modern
in all its arrangement Some other
than the present location at Thir.
teenth and Main streets is necessary
in order that additional ground may
be purchased to provide room for ex.
tensions that the requirements of the
future may render imperative. At
least six full lots are desired. The
new car barn will be lao feet in
length and have a frontage of 200
feet.

THE VALUE OF DEEP FLOWING
FOR PLANT cULTIvATION-
ILLUSTRATED IN POSTER.
BANKERS ARE INTERESTED
The Bankers and Agricultural Pres.
Will Join in the Campaign for
Systematic Farming-other
Phases Later.

A novel method of imparting infor
nation has been developed by the ex
tension department of the North Da,
kota Agricultural College. 1t consists
of a poster 11x14 inches in size. Most
OF it is taken up with a diagram OF
wheat plants growing in deep and
shallow plowed soil and in the dead
furrow. 1t is made plain that the
plant does most of it's feeding in the
soil turned with the plow. The plant
In the deep plowed soil is much the
largest, while the one in the dead fur
row having no plowed soil to grow in
is much stunted. Below the diagram
instructions are given as to how to
plow deep so as to make it a success.
This demonstrates the value of deep
blowing more emphatically than vol.
umes of mere printed matter. And it
shows it at a glance.
The bankers of the state will have
the posters printed and distributed as
the extension department has nc
funds. The agricultural press will al
so join in the campaign. The plan is
to make a campaign on deep plowing
for four or five months, then to take
up a similar campaign on some other
phase of good farming.
This is the first thing of its kind
ever attempted by an agricultural col
lege.

Historical Society Research.

Jamestown.-The James river and
Pipestem creek are to be explored by
four representatives of the State His
torical society of North Dakota with
an object of ~ascertaining If there are
any evidences of Sheyenne Indian
villages along those streams in this
state, and four men started from
jamestown north and south to go on
foot along the shores of these two
streams. The expedition is in charge
of Herbert G.. Fish, curator of the mu.
scum of the State Historical society.
Mr.. Fish and MI. Lynch Of LaMoure
will work south from jamestown to
the state boundary line, along one
bank, returning on the other, while
Francis .Templeton and Lester Smith
both of Grand Forks, left for the north
along the shores Of the James river
and will work to the source, visiting
Arrowwood, Jim, Alkali and Spirit
wood lakes also, and then come back
the Pipestem to it's mouth at James
town. They expect to find much ma
terial of interest to the state. The aim
OF the society is to help the people Of
North Dakota preserve within this
state all historical data and all his.

MOISTURE CAN BE BOTTLED.
Excellent Substitute for Rain Has
Been Discovered in Farming Soil
Mulch by Stirring Soil.
(By W. G. PALMER,

(By. w. C. PALMER.)
While it has not been found pos
sible to make it rain, something even
better has been discovered. Moisture
can be bottled up in the soil. When
soil Is full of moisture. as in the
spring, the evaporation is rapid, if
the soil is compact, amounting to
about an inch a week. By stirring the
surface, thus forming a soil mulch,
this evaporation is stopped and that
moisture saved in the soil. This is
better than a good rain in the grow
ing season, and has the further ad-
vantage of warming up the soil.

What can be done for crabapple
trees which: are blighted?
Answered by G. B. Waldron, profess
sor of horticulture and forestry.
The apple blight is a bacterial dis
ease that gains entrance to the tree
through the blossoms and usually by
the agency of honey bees. When once
introduced 1t spreads with consider
able rapidity. working back towards
the trunk of the tree. Its appearance
is usually first detected by the brown
leaves attached to the diseased twigs.
The bark on the twig is at the same
time brown and shrunken. All of
these diseased branches should be cut
off and burned as soon as they are
noticed. In order to make the opera
ton safe the limbs should be cut off
two or three inches below where the
bark is shriveled. The -Transcendant
crabapple blight so badly that it
should not be planted, as it is sure to
succumb to the blight at an early age,
and is a source of danger to the other
varieties. The safest varieties to plant
are the Martha, Florence and Whitney.

Questions answered by members of
the faculty of the North Dakota Agri-
ricultural college:
the best adapted for dairying in North
Dakota?
Answered by w. B. Richards. profes-
Of animal husbandry.
There are four breeds Of dairy cattle
that will give good results If properly
fed and cared for. They are the Hol-
stems. Jerseys. Guernseys and Ayr
shires. The Jerseys and Holstein
breeds are easier obtainable in the
state at present. The number breed

lis very small.
Many eem to favor dairying with a
dual purpose breed, me to produce
milk and beef both. For this purpose,
I would recommend the Red Polled or
the milking strain of Shorthorn, al
though the latter are rather scarce
at present.
Can corn be cut by a grain binder?
Answered by ]. H. Sheppard, dean
of agricultural department.
Only thick-planted corn, which is
somewhat dwarfed, can be cut with
a grain binder with any degree of sue
cess. Cutting corn with a grain binder
is very hard on the machine and is
hardly an advisable practice under any
circumstances.
What is the proper amount Of salt
to add to butter?
Answered by G. L. Martin. professor
of dairying.
Use from one-half to one and one
half ounces Of salt to the pound of
butter-fat. This will vary to suit the
taste of the customer. Salt should be
evenly distributed, dissolved and well
worked into the butter to prevent
formation of notifies or streaks.

What is the best way of putting

Answered by r. G. Doneghue, pro.
lessor of agronomy.
The most practical way is to follow
a system of crop rotation, growing
clover for hay or seed one year in five,
feeding all the feed grown on the farm
or its equivalent to live stock. All
manure should be saved and re
turned to the land with the least pos
sible loss.

How deep should lille be laidq

How deep should tile be laid?
Answered by R. M. Dolve, professor
of farm engineering.
The depth of the tile depends upon
the permeability of the soil. In a very
close-grained soil the tile, if laid too
deep. will act too slowly after a heavy
rain. The drying out of the soil usual
ly forms shrinkage cracks varying In
depth in different soils so that in some
If the tile is laid only slightly below
the depth of these cracks then action
is greatly retarded. Deep drainage is
desirable in soil where it can be ac-

WILL APPEAL RATE CASES.
Trunk Lines to Go Before United
States Court of Commerce.

Kansas City, Oct. 5.-Transconti-
mental railroads virtually have decided
to appeal the so-called intermountain
rate cases to the new United States
court of commerce. Conferences re-
garding the situation have been going
on in Chicago for several weeks.
The decision of the interstate COM
merce commission which the railroads
claim would mean a loss to them in
freight revenue of approximately $10,-
OOO,O00 becomes effective November Is.
BY October 10 the railroads either must
file new traffic governing the rates int
question or else take the case to the
commerce court
The probable methods to be pursued
by the railroads, according to promi-
nent Kansas City freight traffic Official
Will be to ask an injunction restrain
ing the commission from enforcing its
order. The railroad traffic men have
decided that they cannot stand the re-
ductfon of rates, and it is up to the at
torneys to determine definitely the
method to be pursued in fighting the
commissions ruling.
The rates affected are freight rates
between all points east of the Missouri
river and the intermountain cities be-
tween the Rockies and the coast range.
These cities include Spokane, Sal-
Lake City, Reno and Phoenix.
Shippers in Chicago and other cities
have complained for several years re-
garding the situation and three differ
ent decisions have been rendered by
the interstate commerce commission,
the last one being handed down about
two months ago.
