How To Set a Hen.

This STORY is not only intend
ed for farmer boys, but for
their sisters, as well. We want
to tell you how to set a hen, so
that she will hatch big, fluffy,
strong peeps. You know that
the larger and stronger the peeps
when they first come out, the
more easily they are raised.
Get clean soil from a field, dry
it until it will not stick together
when you try hard to press it in
to a ball. Break up all Jumps,
same as if you intended to SOW
tomato seed. Put three or four
inches of this clean earth into the
box intended for the nest. Lev
ell off and press down solid, with
the least bit of hollow to keep
the eggs from rolling away from
the hen. Do not make the hol-
low more than a quarter of an
inch deep, or the eggs will pile
up in the middle, or fall together
too hard when the old hen turns
them with her beak. Put about
and inch of fine hay or chaff over
the earth and place your eggs.
In this way the eggs are furnish
ed the conditions necessary to
hatch strong chicks something
you will have to wait until you
are a little older to understand,
as it's scientific explanation re-
quires some knowledge of ply
sizes, as well as some other things
with big, long names.

Wheat yields as high as fifty to
sixty bushels per acre; oats sew.
enty to eighty bushels per acre;

crops. Some farmers plant corn
for fodder only, as the season IS
too short for corn to mature. Mr..
Sharp Is fully corroborated by
Dominion reports which give ev-
en- higher yields. M :. Sharp has

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
A BLANKET PROCESSION.

In 1917 the dissatisfied weav-
ers Of Lancashire, England, got
together and resolved to march
up to London and lay their sriev-
ances before the prince regent.
A It was quite a way to London,
each took a blanket along to
wrap about him at night. About
5000 made the start, and a curl
Gus looking parade II must have
been. One eyewitness described
tho marchers as "a most de-
plorable lot, without food and
without organization" Scarcely
had they begun to move when
they were attacked by the mill
tary and partially dispersed.
Some kepa on, but the desertlons
became o and more frequent.
BY the time the marching COL
umn reached the outskirts Of
London Il had dwlndled to six
persons, and not one reached
the presence Of the prince re-
gent.

AN APPRECIATION
OF FARGO SPIRIT
MINNESOTA PAPER SAYS THIS
CITY IS PRosPERING BECAUSE
OF BOOSTER SPIRIT OF IRIS
LIVE BUSINESS MEN-LEssoN
IN CITY BUILDING.

Battle Lake (Miinn.) Review: Fergus
Falls has lost an important manufact-
urlng industry. The industry is NOV.
ing to q town where rents are higher
power costs more and labor commands
higher wages, and yet 1t will prove tC
De a good move, strange as this may
sound.
The Fergus Falls Knitting mills
manufacturing sweaters. stockings
shaWls, skirts, etc.-are moving tc
Fargo, N. d. The reason they give
for the move is that they will be near
er the center of trade, which is mere
1ap-doodle.
The real reason of the move is the
lack OF home patronage and the ab-
sence of home loyalty in Fergus Fails
Some Fergus Falls people are always
knocking somebody. Some preachers
knock each other instead of the devil
Some merchants knock each other in
stead of boosting for a bigger and
better town; and even some editors,
who ought to know better, cut prices
and strain their intellects attempting
to bankrupt each other, instead of
preaching home loyalty and trying to
build up prosperous and powerful pub
locations and add to the industries that
keep the working people busy.
Fargo is different. The people are
builders and money makers and every
citizen thinks Fargo is a world beater
for it's size, and each man tries to
push trade and prosperity upon his
neighbor. So 1t is that Alex Stern, E.
J. Weiser, J.. B. Folsom and others got
the knitting mills away from Fergus
Falls. These men will push new In
dustry n insist upon every Fargo
merchant selling the knitting mills
product and every Fargo %inhabitant
wearing home. knitted goods, and this
Fargo spirit dominates the whole
blessed state of North Dakota, where
men look forward to the prosperity
they know is coming instead of look
ing backward at the milk that has
been split.
Fergus Falls has cheap water power,
good railroad facilities, reasonable
taxes, admirable sits for manufactur-
ing enterprises, property and rents on
a very low basis, an abundance of
local capital and some mighty nice,
agreeable people, but it allows. the
hammer industry to flourish while the
knitting industry moves to Fargo.
The lesson is plain to people who
care to understand. Why not speak
we'll of your neighbors and patron
ize home industry? Why not rejoice
to see competitor prosper, and charge
a living price for what you do whether
it is laboring by the day or printing a
paper? That sort, of a community will
draw factories all the time.
1t can be done at Battle Lake and at
Fergus Falls and in other Minnesota
towns just as well as it is done in
Fargo and with Fargo results.

After an inspection tour yesterday
Of several Of the proposed sites for the
new country club. .. meeting OF the
site committee was held this afternoon
at the offices of Pres. M. A. Baldwin
Of the Commercial bank, where ali the
sites under consideration were fully
discussed.
Yesterday the trip included a visit
to the well known horseshoe bend,
which is a portion of the Buttles farm,
which has SO often been considered
an appropriate place for q country
club, and to the Resser farm, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Resser delightfully."- en-
tertained the members of the com-
mittae.
At the meeting this afternoon a
number OF propositions were present
ed, which In turn win be brought up
this evening at the meeting of the
club. Among the propositions offered
at the committee meeting this after
noon was one from Moorhead which
carries with it about thirty member
ships from that side OF the river, maxi
ing the club one for both cities. This
will probably also near a site on the
Minnesota side of the river.

No Water an SIGHT.

The prospects of Moorhead people
being supplied with pure artesian
water through the city water mains in
the immediate future are not very
promising just now. The report of the
contractor who is boring an expert
mental well on the site of the city
waterworks is to the effect that he is
down now 200 feet and he is still
working in a g reat body of clay.
However, the water and light com
mission has given ordeks that the
boring be continued for fifty more
feet, then, if no water appears in
sight, his particular well proposition
will be discontinued. 1t may be stat
ed that the work done by the water
and light commission was fully justi-
fed and the undertaking was in the
light of a test. before resorting to the
boring of wells in the east end of
town. The test was made in the eff
fort to prove hat there would be a
saving to the city if the artesian belt
was found near the present water
works.
