QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY
MEMBERS OF THE NORTH DA
kOTA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

What element Of plant food is pres
kota soils?
Ans. by E. F. Ladd.
The element which is present in
smallest amount most generally in
North Dakota soils is phosphoric
acid. In some localities the per cent
of phosphoric acid is fairly high and
averages we'll in most localities; but
there are certain sections of the state
where the per cent of phosphoric acid
Is already as low as 10 per cent; in a
few conditions even less. In the bet
ter class Of North Dakota soils the
amount Is twice the above. When a
soil falls as low as 10 per cent, unless
the conditions are unusually favora
BILE, the amount of plant food in an
available form, as phosphoric acid
or salts of the same, is too small to
insure maximum crop. Therefore.
phosphoric acid in general will, under
good methods of cultivation, be the
ingredient most generally required on
North Dakota farms"
What Is the special advantage OF

Would you plow timothy sod with
breaking or stubble plow-how deep,
and should it be plowed in fall or
spring?
Ans. R. c. Doneghue.
l should plow it with stubble
plow seven inches deep. 1t should be
plowed in the fall on heavy clay
lands and on lands that are sandy
and apt to drift it should be plowed
early in the spring.
Do you advise silo for North Da.

Ans. j. H. Shepperd.
Yes. II man has stock to con.
sumo the silage and has capital SO
that he can build silo and can ar.
range to fill it without going into debt

INFANT LEFT
ON DOORSTEP

Hazelton Republican,: Linton folks
had an exciting topic to discuss last
Friday morning owing to the fact that
some time during the early morning
an infant, apparently not more thar
2 or 3 hours old, had been left
upon the back doorstep of Rev. Mr..
Lovelace's home. The baby was wrap
ped in a sugar sack, a gunny sack
and a piece Of paper, and when dis
covered by Mr.. Lovelace was beginning
to feel the effects of the COO morning
atmosphere.
1t a taken to DR.. Hogue's hos
pital and cared for and is now doing
quite well.
The authorities were Immediately
notified Of the discovery and set to
work to ferret out the mystery. An
examination of the grounds showed the
print of a woman's shoe in the soft
earth leading from the alley fence to
the back door, thence around the
house and out through the front gate.
The clue is being followed up and it
is considered only a matter of a few
days until the perpetrator of the deed
will be discovered and brought to JUS
tice.

JUST MISSED A
HORRIBLE Death

Wilton Globe: one of the closest
escape from death that has ever hap
pened in Milton occurred on Tuesday
of last week at the Great Northern
depot, when Dan Benson was whirled
under the side of a passenger coach
while in the act Of jumping from
the rapidly moving train.
The passenger had just arrived from
the south and had discharged its pas
and express, and had backed
up some hundreds of yards to allow
the southbound freight to back onto
the side track. Quite a number Of
boys and young men jumped onto this
train to ride up to the end Of the
sidetrack and back, but when nearing
the depot on the return trip the pas
senger train had gathered speed and
was dashing past the platform at per-
haps a twenty-m clip. Two of the
boys jumped to the platform and fell
with terrific force. Dan Benson jump
ed a moment later but held onto the
handrail Of the car a moment too long
and was whirled beneath the side of
the car between the platform and the
rails. His body was in the act of
falling squarely over the inner rail
when the corner of one of the coaches
happened to hit him suuarely on the
shoulder and threw him across the
edge of the platform. He seemed in
the act of slipping to the track again
when E. J. Duprey, who was standing
nearby, rushed in and pulled him to
safety. Aside from being somewhat
hr1Iisad and having his clothinp torn
Benson is none the worse after the
experience. When interviewed later
he said he thought his time had come
when he felt himself being hurled be-
meath the lastly moving wheels, and
it seemed almost a miracle hat the
car corner should happen to act as a
means OF saving his life.
About a score Of men witnessed the
miraculous escape and breathed great
signs of relief after being almost GER
tain to see the young mans crushed
and lifeless remains on the track after
the train had sped by. There was still
another young man in the act Of jump
ing off when he saw the accident, but
was so Mortified by the sight that he
intended to stay on the train to the
next station. The train was stopped,
however, and he stepped off without
having to jump or go farther.
Young Benson is a nephew of Gun
ner Christianson and has been staying
on his farm. north Of town. He de-
parted for the Canadian northwest
Tuesday evening, where he will take
up a claim.

"5ut He Was = Leperl"
/ never was more interested in my
life than when hearing about a colonel
-he was a confederate and a stickler
for military etiquette. One time he
had a trifing case of INSTRUMENTATION.
He ordered the soldiers to halt and the
offender shot. They dug his grave,
buried him, the colonel gave the. COM
mand to march, and they had stopped
three minutes by the watch. AT the
close of the war they made him chief
of police, and he was so vile and rot
ten in his life that the citizens arose
en- masse and demanded his dismissal.
When the great earthquake took place
some years ago. and the people rushed
from their homes and from the grog-
shops and houses Of illfame, where
men were propogating their iniquity
with their paramours of vice, they
rushed into their yards and into the
streets and fell on their knees to pray.
The people rushed into the city square.
thousands of them were packed in
there, and there was great excitement.
The police came with their command,
but they were powerless to quell the
riot, when suddenly some one said:
Where is colonel?" One man said:
You will find him in one of two
places" so they looked and they
found him, so drunk that he didn't
realize the danger Of the hour. They
led him out, staggering and cursing.
The mayor came, and on the colonel's
breast pinned a star, symbolic of his
authority. They placed him on a
snow-white charger, put his one-time
regimentals on. on his hat a cockade,
gave him a sword, then the mayor
said: Colonel, as mayor 1 command
You and commission you to quell the
riot in the city square The old col
onel's strength leaped back. He drove
the spurs into the ~quivering sides Of
his snow-white charger and the crim-
son tide spurted. He rode in and out
among that mass Of humanity, his
sabre cleaning in the air. Great tor
rents OF profanity and vileness and
oaths rolled from his lips. A COM
mand here, an order there, until in
