NORTH DAKOTA FRUIT
President Gearey Of Merchants Bank
Has on Display Some Exceeding
Iy Fine Fruit Specimens.

While H. w. Gearey, president of
the Merchants National bank, does
not set himself up to be a profess
sional fruit raiser, still he has in his
garden in this city a great deal of
fruit growing. He brought a few
samples down to the bank with him
a morning or two ago.
There are some fine specimens of
the Duchess apples, some Of the Ly-
man n the Siberian crabs, some
very fine looking specimens of the
Aitken plums as we'll as of the wild
plums, and he has also growing on
his place some Oakebena. All of this
goes to show that North Dakota can
produce some mighty nice fruit. Mr..
Gearey will take pleasure in showing
these specimens to all who may be
interested, and already quite a number
have inspected them.

ENGINEER KEYE
Home FROM trip
HIS WIFE HE ENJOYED A
VISIT TO DULUTH AND LAKE
suPERIoR-MADE LONG AUTO
TRIP ALONG THE NORTH
SHORE OF THE LAKE.

w. A. Keye, the well known en-
gineer of the Northern Pacific, and
wife, who reside at 1921 Second ave.
nue. south. have returned from a two
weeks trip on Lake Superior and they
are very much pleased with their va
cation outing. After enjoying them
selves on the boat for a time in com
pany with a relative they made a 175-
mile auto trip on the north shore OF
the lake.
1T was one of the finest trips 1
ever had in my life," said Mr.. Keye
to The Forum yesterday, and we en-
joyed every minute of the time. The
scenery is magnificent and we saw
the great ore mines and the ore docks
and the sight was a very interesting
one. We spent a good deal of the
time going over the great copper and
iron ranges and l don't know of a
trip that is SO full of instructions
just such a one as this. The mines
and great machinery that is used
in getting the ore out of the
ground are simply wonderful, n l
wouldn't have missed the ride and
sights for a good deal.
lone thing that / noticed In the city
of Duluth where we visited for some
days and that was the freeness of
the streets from the street loafer. In
all of our travels l did not see a typ
ical street loafer such as may be seen
on the streets of Fargo at any hour
of the day and almost any hour of
the night.
There are no young men standing
about in Duluth smoking cigarettes
and making remarks about passing wo-
men. II such a state of affairs can be
brought about in the large city OF
Duluth 1t seems to me that the same
thing can be done in Fargo and /
would like to see it tried. ] remarked
on the difference between the two
cities in this respect, and hope that
the city officials IL they cannot make
the change here will send to Duluth
and get their methods.
"Am glad to get back home again,
but we certainly did enjoy the trip
very much just the same"

Expert Urges Care of Cattle.

Cow testing association, this move
ment has not gained the impetus,
many believe it should, among the
dairymen and farmers of Wisconsin.
In his report to the Wisconsin state
board of public affairs upon "agricul-
turaI cooperation" in this and other
countries, John F. Sinclair reviews
the work done by the Wisconsin
Dairymen's association to encourage
the testing of COWS for the purpose of
determining their producing capabil>
tiles. and urges it's extension upon a
basis which will meet with more gen.
eral acceptance.
Since the first COW testing associa-
ton organized in Wisconsin wa1
formed at Rosendale in Fond du Lac
county, several years aGo, 1,450 Bad
ger state dairymen have belonged to
them and a few more than 1880
COWS and heifers have completed
years tests. This enrolment may
be regarded as & satisfactory record,
but in spite of its demonstrated value
and usefulness the farmers of the
state have not realized the Importance
of continuing the work year after
year. says Mr. Sinclair. In some in
stances dairymen found their herds
so poor that at the end of six months
they withdrew from their association
quite discouraged with their efforts or
later to start anew with animals of
more profitable production. In other
cases men owning pure breeds found
their herds much below their eXpecta-
tons, thus tending to prevent the
profitable sale of their animals. They
could make better sales by talking
pedigree than by talking pedigree and
record.
It has been thoroughly demonstrate
ed that there are great differences in
COWS. and that the only sure way to
determine these differences is to
weigh and test each cows milk, for it
is not possible to determine the quail
ity of the milk by its color or esti-
mate the amount OF milk that an ami
nal produces by observing how much
she gives at a milking The way to
obtain exact information is to weigl
and test the milk periodically.

battery will govern the width of the
side and top pieces; the lengths of the
side and top pieces will of course be
determined by the front and back
pieces already cut. Fasten the side
and top pieces to each other and to
the front piece, using f1nishing-nails
for the mailing; then cut the base
piece of the proper size to make a
projection of q inch outside of the
case all around, and fasten the case
to it. The neatness of your work
will depend a great deal upon the &C,
curacy with which the ends of the side
and top pieces are cut, so be careful
in preparing them.
The alarm-clock is supported upon a
narrow shelf fastened to the back
piece CA, Fig. ~. The face of the
alarm-clock should be set flush with
the inside face of the front of the
wooden case, so in fastening the clock
to shelf A, you must take this into
consideration If the clock is exactly
as deep as the wooden clock-case, the
ring at the ts@o Of the back of the clock
can be screwed to the wooden back
(B, Fig. a.; if smaller, it will have
to be blocked out away from the back
piece. The bottom of the clock is held
to the shelf by wiring the legs to
nails, as shown. The back board is
screwed to the case so it can be re-
moved easily when the bell or battery
requires attention.
The battery should be placed in the
bottom of the case, and the electric
bell should be screwed to the inside
of the face, as shown in Fig. 8. Cut
the wooden block c a trife smaller

is TREE CHOPPER
Does the Work of Man in Lumber
Camp in BacE<woods of
Maine

D. Woodbury. Bachelor of this city,
engaged in the lumber business at
Dama1iscotta, Me-, has in his employ
a most remarkable woman as regards
strength and endurance. She is Mary
Gregory, wife of Frank Gregory, says
the Manchester correspondent of the
Boston Globe
She first entered the employ of Mr..
Bachelor to provide meals for the
fourteen men in the camp. This she
was able to do and have half a day
left in which to engage in the work
of the men, and asked permission Of
Mr.. Bachelor to take her place with
the choppers.
Mr.. Bachelor gave his consent and
was astonished to see her perform.
She welded an ak and made a rec
ord one day of chopping, splitting and
piling three cords of wood, a task that
most men, hardened to the service of
the woods, are incapable Of equaling.
Mr.. Bachelor says:
'sShe is the strongest woman l ever
saw. No sooner does she fell a tree
than she is on top of it, limbing it out,
and in every line of work she is the
equal of the men in camp. She handles
a cross-cut saw with all the skill Of
a man and not a laborer in the camp
can surpass her in the amount of work
accomplished"
She is thirty-five years old, weighs
about IT'S pounds, stands feet 8
inches, and is as quick as a flash. She
is fond of sport and expert as a
wrestler. Mr. Bachelor says he has
yet to see man in camp who can
match her at wrestling. She is not
afraid to try conclusions with any Of
them. She has put every man who
has been willing to wrestle her on his
back, and yet is modest in speech and
manner, the mother Of seven children,
native of Nova Scotia, and prior to
making her home in the Maine woods
lived in Massachusetts.
Fer husband works in the woods
with her, but is far from being her
equal in strength.

AN ELECTRIC ALARM CLOCK.

Here is the best kind of an alarm
clock for the sound sleeping boy who
has difficulty in awakening on time.
1t will not only arouse him, but will
keep on ringing until he gets up and
turns the lever that opens the cleo
trio circuit
You will see by examining the de-
tails Of this electric clock that it is
very simple to make. Almost any
kind OF an alarm clock that you own
can be used, but for a clock designed
similar to that in Fig. 1 it should be
of the common round form shown in
Fig. 4. If you own clock Of differ
ent kind, you can change the design of
the wooden case to suit it.
Fig. Z shows the pattern for the
front ard back of the wooden case for
the electric clock illustrated. In or
der to get the sides of these pieces
alike, first draw a center-line as
shown, then each side of this lay off
the measurements given. Box boards
about ss inch thick will do for mate
rial. The opening for the clock should
be cut through each piece before the
pieces themselves are cut out, so as
to leave as much margin around the
hole as possible; this will lessen the
danger of splitting the wood in cutting
the hole. Bevel the face edge of the
hole cut through the front piece Gig.

enough to allow for a dry battery. This
