hadn't punctuated her last poem. They
sent a copy, an she said it made her
most sick the way they'd spilled her
beautiful ideas. .--

DIVERSITY THE CROPS.

Any indications of the Investigation
OF farm products is encouraging in
North Dakota. Dairying is gaining
strong foothold in many parts of the
state and is destined to become more
and more profitable as time goes on,
speaking of experience in dairying in
Ramsey county the Penn Hustler saws:
"As proof of the fast that the dairy
business is rapidly forging to the
front in this locality, we call attention
to the figures of the Penn creamery
for the month of May. This institution
for that month paid over $1,000 for but
ter fat alone, with prices ranging from
IL to 81 cents per pound, making the to-
tai pounds purchased between six and
seven thousand.
The fact that North Dakota is prov
ing to be a successful corn state will
gradually encourage the dairving
business and the farmer will soon
cease to worry so much about the un-
certainty Of wheat raising and devote
more of his valuable time to that
crop which will pay the year around"

in other forest reserves will be made.

, County fair is out and is filled witt,
premiums for everything that the peo-
pie of North Dakota can possibly have
to exhibit at a county fair. Stress is
laid upon the amusement and educa-
tional features in connection with the
fair, and Judging from the program
outlined, the Richland County fair for
1911 will surpass anything Of the kind
yet held by the association. The dates
of the fair are September 26, q, %
and 20. R. J. Hughes is the secretary.
The Mclean County fair will not be
held until October 8, 4 and this year.
Mclean county fairs have always been
winners, and special effort is being
put forth this year to make it the big
gest and best ever. Underwood is the
place and ]. T. Hogue is the secretary.
While Bowbells, the county seat Of
Burke county, held big race. meet in
June, the Burke County Fair associa-
ton will hold the annual county fair at
Bowbells on the 5th and 9Th of o.
tober. The premium list is good one,
and while Burke county is one of the
youngest in the state, having been
created only about one year, the county
fair promises to compare favorably
with many of the fairs held in older
counties. H. L. Richardson is the Sec
rotary.
The Ward County fair dates have
not been set, but it is understood that
it will be held about the Goth of Sep
TENDER. The Ward County associa-
tion recently acquired the grounds and
buildings of the Minot Racing associa-
ton, which includes one of the finest
half-mile tracks in the state. A large
premium list has been prepared and the
prizes offered to exhibitors are liberal
A. V. Swanson is the secretary.
The Billings County fair will open
on September 26, and will continue
three days. In addition to the regular
exhibit features, Billings county is
making a special effort in the enter
tainment line, which promises to make
their fair one of the liveliest in the
slope country this year. Beach is the
place and J. M. Baer is the secretary.

While the state fair at Grand Forks
the Interstate fair at Fargo, and sew
eral county fairs and racing meets
have already been held this year, there
are still number of good county fairs
which will be held during the months
of September and October.
The Missouri Slope fair will be held
at Mandan September IL, ID, IA, and
Is. An elaborate premium list, has
been published and the prizes offered
to exhibitors are liberal indeed. 1.-THE
Mandan Fair" as it is familiary
known, is one of the very best county
fairs held in the state, and is looked
forward to each year with much inter-
est by people in the 'slope country
especially. The promoters promise to
eclipse all former efforts this year in
the way of liberal premiums, good
races and varied entertainment. DR.. E.

Dickinson Press-The probabilities
are that North Dakota will soon have
a good sized forest reserve northwest
of and including the historic Kildeer
mountains, where the greatest Indian
battle in American history was fought
on July %. 1864.
The project gets the recommends
ton of c. A. Ballinger, forest SUPER
visor from Camp Cook, S. D., who
spent several days at the Dickinson u.
S. landoffice the past week looking up
records of land filings and completing
his reports, following careful field in
spection of the territory in Dunn and
Mckenzie counties under considera-
ton. Register J. G: Quinlivan and Re-
ceiver w. A. Mcclure went over the
matter carefully with Forester Balm
ger and also favor the setting aside of
285,0O0. acres as included in the report
which is being forwarded to the de-
partment at Washington.
If the department approves of the
report, it is quite likely that the land
will be withdrawn by executive order.
A few months ago John Shaw and
others living along the Little Missouri
river called the attention of Congress-
man L. B. Hanna to the importance Of
creating forest reserve and preserving
the large amount of natural timber; such
as ash, elm, cedar and cottonwood. and
our senior congressman has been giving
the matter good deal of attention and
undoubtedly sees great merit in the pro-
ject.
The forestry department will at
once see the importance of preserving
the timber of which North Dakota has
the smallest amount of any state in the
union. This fact gives rise to the be-
lief that President Taft will issue the
order Immediately withdrawing the land
when his attention is called to the ad-
visibility of the project. 1t will be in
line with the Heinemier resolution in
PRODUCED in the North Dakota legisla-
ture last winter asking the government
to reserve 5000 acres at Kildeer noun
tains.
The land which it is proposed to
withdraw from settlement for forest
reserve is in townships 146, 147 and

USE: CORN AS
FORAGE CROP
Many States Will Be Short
Of Feed for Their Stock
This Year

In many states the todder question
this year is serious one, so serious
that the government has taken note
of the situation and has sent out a
circular advising what should be done
regarding the. planting of "emerg-
ency" crops to fill out the needed
forage supply. In this circular there
is a valuable suggestion as to the best
way to preserve corn in the stalk for
use as fodder after the ears have been
removed, and while there will be no
shortage of animal food this year in
North Dakota, the advice given is
worth printing. The circular says:
Every farmer knows the value of
corn as supplement to pasture
crop late in summer, for which pur-
pose it may be used for cattle as soon
as it is tassled out and for hogs as
soon as the ears have reached the
roasting stage. Not so many realize
that an acre of corn stover-the crop
left standing after the ears have been
taken-is as valuable for feeding to
cattle and horses as an acre of tim
othy hay. Ton for ton, corn slower
has nearly the same feeding value as
timothy. With short hay crop,
therefore, every effort should be made
to carefully handle the corn crop.
The feeding value in the stalk and
leaves of the corn plant increases up
to maturity, but if the stalks are al
lowed to stand in the field after ripen-
ing there is considerable loss. This
loss at the Iowa experiment station
two months after ripening amounted
to more than one-half of the value of
the stalk
investigations snow that of the
feeding value of corn slower about q
per cent is in the stalk and leaves
above the ear, 26 per cent in the husks,
and A per cent in the stalk and blades
below the ear. When left standing in
the field many Of the lower leaves
dry up and are blown away or beaten
down by rains into the ground and
lost. Farmers are urged to cut corn
for, grain as soon as the ears are we'll
denied and few dry blades appear.
Thus handled the maximum feeding
value of the crop with reference both
to grain and slower will be secured.
Put the corn in good sized shocks and
after husking out the ears put a
number of shocks together. Large
shocks lose less food constituents by
weather and fermentation than small
shocks. If the slower is put into the
barn it must be thoroughly dry to
prevent molding. Except for convent
ence of handling it is not necessary to
shred corn slower, as apparently its
feeding value is little if any increased
thereby. By cutting and shocking the
feed value of slower in increased one
third to one-half over what it would
be if left standing in the field. With
short hay crop this loss should be
by gathering and shocking

There is no attempt to disguise that. Il
will be worth seeing, from the cooking
and lighting with gas from Ignite coal
in the basement, to the sheaves OF
wheat at the top.
But aside from this there is no city
in the state that has more points OF
interest in and around it than Bismarck.
You could spend a week just taking
them in. For instance:
Bismarck is the capital city. In the
center of pretty park, we'll shaded
with tres, stands to states capitol-a
comfortable and commodious building.
Take the states street car up to it.
Visit the various offices, learn how
things are done and where they are
done. Meet the men who do them and
you'll find them anxious to see that you
get acquainted. There's a good days
seeing in the Historical department,
with its Indian relics and historical ex-
hibits. The states library is worth
proving through for the bookish man.
The chambers of the Supreme Court,
of the Senate, of the House are to be
seen. And lunch on the lawn will be
as good picnic on nice day as you'll
want.
Hike to Fort Lincoln and see the
boys of Uncle Sam, at work and at
play. See the drills and hear the re-
veille and the taps on the bugle.
Go out to the penitentiary and see
how the men make the Irvine you use
on your binder; see the big brick plant !;
see the printing establishment; the
farm; the garden. Know what your
state is doing.
Trot out to the Indian school and
see the boys and girls whose fathers or
grandfathers slew Custer and mastered
settlers-and watch them learn the
white mans ways. Keep step with
progress.
Chase off to the Big Muddy and get
some idea of the size of the tawnv
monster. Yes, an excursion is possible
on one of the river boats.
And Bismarck herself is NO Door
show-place. You are going to be sur
prised at the avenues of trees that mark
her streets, at the pretty views from
the tops OF bluffs down onto the river:
the handsome residences; the COM
portable homes; the industries. It isn't
a bit wild-westy. Somehow the wild
and woody days die when come cement
walks, electric lights and city water.
