A Willow windbreak.

them. Oh In locating the windbreak,
one needs to look to the future. A.
good deal Of live stock will necessa-
rily be kept on the North Dakota
farms. This stock will do much bet
ter in the protection Of hedge than
II subjected to the prairie winds. 1t
Will also be much easier to feed and
care for stock in the protection Of .
good windbreak. So make the wind
break include space that will likely
be used for carrying the live stock
through the winter. (c) In the pro-
lection OF windbreak great many
varieties OF trees and fruits that can
not endure the wind will flourish.
Therefore considerable space should
be Enclosed by the windbreak for this
purpose. The space thus provided for
the stock and for trees and fruit will
not be waste. even II not used for
these purposes for some time. More
snow will gather here than on the
unprotected prairie. which will mean
that this space will be well watered
and that larger crops Of grain,
grasses and alfalfa can be grown here
than elsewhere on the farm. This
will also be an ideal place for the
garden.
From this 1t is plain that the wind
break should inclose a considerable
area. The windbreak will also have
considerable influence In checking
the effects OF hot winds through
checking the winds velocity and
through cooling 1t through the mois-
ture that transpires from the leaves.
10 plant the windbreak will depend
some on the prevailing winds. The
north and west sides will need pro-
lection and che other sides to a less
extent. 1t might be well to plant two
rows on the north and west sides and
single row on the south and east.
Broken rows might answer on these
two sides
Trees to do we'll should be planted
on land that has raised at least one
crop. Well titled cosn or potato
ground is usually in an ideal condition.

Electric Line for North Dakota.

From eastern sources yesterday
came the announcement that the
Great Northern railroad would elec-
trify its new route, now under con-
struction from Lewiston. Mont. to
New Rockford. N. ID. The project
is one Of the biggest proposed in
railroad circles recently and would
represent an expenditure of approxi-
mately 100000
1t is understood that the improve
ment will be made next year. Con-
struction gangs are now building the
Lewiston-New Rockford line. The
road is being built by the Montana
& Eastern railway. which is con-
trolled by the Great Northern inter-
ests. The eastern report names as
the men who are promoting the
classification. Louis Hill; c. r.
Gray, president of the Great North
ern; r. A. jackson: j. p. Veasey,
Jr.: and L. f. Katzenbach. Each
Of these men is St. Paul resident.
Railroad men declare that the
announcement of this project is q
solution. in part at least, Of the
Great Northern's move few days
ago, when it increased its capital by
S2l 100000. 1t is now thought that
practically all of this WILDE utilized
