USEFUL BIRCH. TRER
Of Value In Mixed Plantations
and as a Nurse.
Found Scattered All Over Manitoba
Saskatchewan and Other Western
Canadian TorrItorles-Sow
the Seed In Fall.

(By NORMAN M. ROSS, Chief Of Tred
Planting Division, Canada,) (
This tree, known as the canoe OF
white birch, has the widest range OF
any northern tree. In western Canada
1t is found scattered all over Manitoi
ba, Saskatchewan. Alberta and the
territories, extending as far north ad
the limit Of deciduous tree growth. In
habit it is an upright tree. reaching
often go or 70 feet in height and a
trunk diameter Of over two feet. It il
found growing amongst other hard
wood and coniferous trees, especially
on the moister and richer soila all
though it adapts itself to much drier
conditions. When transplanted, It
seems to be a rapid grower in mixed
plantations. Az it has very open
crown and is very light demanding, II
should never. be planted alone IN
large numbers.
The white birch will probably
prove Of value In mixed plantations
and as a nurse for other broad-leaved
trees or conifers. It is an exceptions
ally pretty tree and largely used for
ornamental planting. The wood, when
green. makes excellent fuel. but If left
lying In the open very quickly decays.
The birch Is grown from seed. The
catkins ripens about the middle Of
August, but will often hang on the
trees for some months. If not exposed
to violent winds. The seed Is excep'
tionally small and light. there being
over 100000 grains to the pound.
From our experience in raising birch,
1t would seem that the best time to
SOW the seed is in the fall Of the year.
The seed should be sown in beds. as
described for conifers, as the young
plants require shading during the first
season hsthe first summer they Will
probably grow about three or four
inches. IN the fall they may estaken
sup and hseled in ready for transplant
ing next spring. or they may be left
In the beds over winter. In the spring
they should be planted out IN nursery

The growing Of trees on lawns

Q.-Can the butterfat content Of
milk be changed by feeding? =. !
A.-G. L. Martin, professor Of dairy
ing. !;
It Is impossible to change the guam.
tity Of butter fat In milk for any length
Of time. As a cow is very fat at time
Of calving it is claimed that her milk
will test somewhat higher for q few
weeks until the body fat has been re-
duced to good working condition and
then the test will be normal again.
This condition lasts but short time,
usually, for good dairy cows seldom
carry much natural body fat. How
ever, 1t is quite possible to change the
character of the butter fat in the milk
feeding. In case a cow is fed grass or.
other succulent feed like roots or si79
lage the butter will be quite soft and
the cream will churn easier as in sum-
mer, but fed Upon cottonseed meal
gluten or the dry grains more Of the
hard fats will appear in the butter fat,
which make the cream harder to churn.

Q.-How does agriculture compare
with other subjects from the educa!
tional standpoint, aside from any fu-
ture value that it may have? !
A.-A. D. Weeks, professor Of educa-
ton. !:
Agriculture, aside from its utility
value, Is desirable school subject. It
is science and has the same adj
vantage from an educational stand,
point as other sciences. It deals with
nature and therefore requires observa;
ton and reasoning-in fact. as a scien,
tito subject It has distinct advantages
In that it appeals to SO many interestsl
Comparing agriculture with mathe.
matics, physics or chemistry, one does
not need to argue its valuable features!
Agriculture is usually taught perhaps
for bread-and-butter purposes, but any
subject may be taught for this same
purpose. For example, If one studies
Latin in order to teach Latin, he is
studying the subject for q bread-and-
butter purpose. Inasmuch as agricul-
ture includes the beginnings Of large
number Of different sciences as geolo.
gy, botany. physics and chemistry, its
appeal is unusually comprehensive.
The day has passed when any apollo.
gies are needed for the inclusion of
this science in any modern curriculum.
There are few studies which are
capable Of producing more general
development Of interests, observations
and reasoning.

Reno, Sept. 14.-Rooseyelts appeal

day when he passed through the state
on his way to the Pacific coast.
Since the colonel left Spokane Mon
day he has been travelling constantly,
except for stay of few hours IN

at few other points. Through Ore

an effort to keep up with the schedule

Oyster Bay. Most of the time he has
been late and special trains have been
ararnged to make up for lost time. The
DELAYS have been due largely to the
fact that, the colonel was called upon
to make more speeches than We're on

The members of the First Baptist
church of this city have been busy
the past few days in completing ar
rangements for the meeting of the
North Dakota Baptist State conven-
ton, which is to convene with the
local church next week. beginning on
Tuesday afternoon and continuing over
Friday night. A record breaking at
tendance is anticipated
The work of the Baptist denomina-
ton has been developed in this state
with marked success during the last
year or two under the direction Of the
general missionary, Rev. C.. Il. Henans,
Phi. %. When Or. Hemans assumed
the leadership sof missionary work in
the state, the work was quite disor-
ganized in many OF the smaller
churches, Crop failures and talk of
hard times, had discoura ged many and
the churches were without pastoral
leadership. DIR. Hemans, coming from
the east as he did, and acquainted with
efficient men, immediately proceeded
to secure their services in the churches
of this state, and today every import
ant church has a good pastor. The last
year the missionary force has been
augmented by. the coming of Rev. E.

American Baptist Publication society.
These two men have labored together
the last year, in assisting the weak
churches and opening up new fields
through the organization of Sunday
schools and churches.
The convention this year gives
promise of being especially inspiring
in view of the number of strong
speakers coming from within the state.
DIR. W. Riley pastor of the First Bap-
tist church of Minneapolis is to be the
convention preacher. Last year, at
the annual meeting at Grafton, DR..

that the pastors over the state have
been asking for DR.. Riley again. and
a successful effort has been made TO
secure him. Dr. Riley is pastor Of the
largest Baptist church between Chica-
go and the Pacific coast. and so far
as employed workers and money con-
Itributed for missionary purposes are
concerned the First church of Mime
apolis exceeds any in Chicago. This
church has six men and women en-
ployed for the local work, besides two

Minot, N d., Sept 14.--From now
on Minot police viii wage war on ped
dlers who insist upon coming into
town and making a house to house
canvass without a license. AS a start
to the campaign, Joseph Meller, an
Italian, peddling linen, was arrested
by Officer William Brakeman and
brought before Judge Murray. AS
Meller professed to be unable to un-
derstand English he was given a short
time to get in touch with some one
who could put him on the right track,
so that he would know what the pro-
ceedings were about. Meller later
waived preliminary hearing and was
held to the county court.
Peddlers and transient merchants
are required to take out Ia license
costing $75 if they want to peddle
their wares in North Dakota. Upon
arrest and conviction for failure to do
so they are liable to a fine of not less
than $25 and not more than $100 or
thirty to ninety days in the county
