similar in general characteristics,
studying one closely will give a fair
understanding of others.
The common white bean is easy to
get, and to study, so we will take in
as an example.
Soak a few beans in water over
night. Then take one and cut the
tough outer covering around the edge
with the point of pin. The halves
can then be easily spread apart, and
the tiny plant discovered. 1t lies
snugly Graded in one end of the bean.
You will see that it has two parts,
a small waxen point, and tiny. yell
lowish, folded leaf. The point is the
root, and a tender, delicate thing it is.
This little root must work its way
down into the ground, both to feed
and to hold in place the little plant.
If the ground is not we'll prepared. If
it is too hard and cloddy, the little
root may become so broken and
bruised as to hinder, or perhaps en-
tirely check, its growth
The tiny leaf, too, which must push
upward, needs soil that is soft and
loose, If it is not to be injured.
Plant a few seeds in a bed of wet
sawdust, and you will soon see,
branching out from the main root
many little rootlets. A little later, q
set of fine hairs, called root-hairs, will
appear on the rootlets.
1t is through these that the plant

FLOODS IN NORTH DAKOTA.
Great Damage Done to Stock and
Property.

Williston, N. D.-Flood conditions
were much relieved Saturday, but Mon
day the water was still at the highest
point ever registered here. 1t was
20 feet, or two feet above the flood
stage. Thousands of acres of bottom
lands are inundated and many horses
and cattle have been drowned, caught
in the fences like fish in net. The
loss of live stock and damage to farm
buildings and fields can not be closely
estimated, but in this county, Williams,
and the county opposite, Mckenzie, it
will easily reach $4,000. This loss
will be offset in part by benefits from
the flooding of the benches. The re-
ported loss of life can not be confirmed
and it is believed that all in this vicin-
ity have escaped. Several Indians
have been drowned on the Fort Peck
reservation in Montana. The Missouri
is now entirely free from ice.

FROM MINING CAMPS

During a quarrel at a miners board
ing house in Butte, Charles Cox stabbed
and probably fatally wounded his
brother Patrick.
Henry Perman was rescued Sunday
from the Manitou mine, 20 miles from
Globe, Ariz., after having been en-
tombed for 81 hours.
The Boundary mines shipping dur
ing last week were the CRANKY, 24,224
tons; Mother Lode, 1886 tons; Rawhide,
$3.50 tons; Jackpot, 554 tons, making
total shipment for the week of 1864
tons, or grand total for the year to
date of 432, 100 tons.
The decision of the British miners
federation to order the men to resume
work has brought intense relief to the
whole country. The termination of
the coal strike virtually amounts to
raising a ruinous siege of the nation Is
industries which has inflicted financial
loss far larger than would have been
caused by war of similar duration
against great power.
A new record was made by the
CRANKY company during the past week
in the shipments of blister copper from
the smelter. During the past seven
days the copper shipped. amounted tc
439, 500 pounds, bringing the total
copper shipments for the year to date
up to 5,622,5OO pounds. During the
same period the smelter treated 1884;
tons of ore from the company's OWE
mines, as well as 5ss tons of foreign
ore, making a total for the week Of
4,431 tons, and a grand total for the
year to date of 3O9,6O9 tons.

CAR CLAIMS The TURKS ARE
COVERING TOO Much OF
PERSIA'S DOMAIN.
Relations Between Russians and the
Ottomans May Reach an Acute Stage
Sultan Denies Charge-Anglo-Rus
sian Commission, However, Upholds
Contention of the Northerners.

London.-The relations of Russia and
Turkey, which few weeks ago caused
the circulation of alarming reports,
may at any moment reach an acute
stage, and again the bone of conten-
ton will be Persia.
At the close of the Russo-Japanese
war Turkey moved troops into the Per-
sian province of Azerbaijan, a strip OF
which has been in dispute for upward
of 200 years.
Turkey claims this strip; Persia holds
it; but the ownership is to be de-
cided The question has been the sub
ject of negotiations, but while these
have been going on Russia asserts that
Turkey slowly has been advancing her
forces until they have gone even be-
You'd the disputed strip, and now com
mand the western part of AzerbaiJan
from Lake Urumiah to the frontier and
can attack the Russian province OF
Erivan.
Turkey Denies Aggression.
Turkey denies any aggressive inten
tions. She has informed the Russian
minister to the Porte that she has
troops in the disputed territory only as
a temporary expedient, waiting the out
come of the friendly negotiations and
if necessary, a reference to The Hague
tribunal.
An Anglo Russian commission, on thu
other hand, has reported that the Rus
sian assertion is correct, and has ISSUED
a map showing that Turkey has takel
possession of about 10000 square mile
of Persian territory.
Turkeys frmness in supporting he
contention, and in not only placing
troops in the disputed strip, blu
moving them forward, has given ris
in Russia to suspicion that som
other power is behind the Ottoma
government. 1t is pointed out tina
the acquisition of territory on tn
Persian frontier might be accom-
plished as compensation by Turke
for the loss of Tripoli and the powe
that could bring about this exchang
would please Italy. Germany, whic
before has tried to secure conce'
sions on Lake Urumiah, is the powe
suspected.
The movement of Russian an
Turkish troops along the frontier he
given cause for frequent alarms latel
and Russia IS action in taking a lea'
ing part in the effort to bring I'll
Turkish-Italian war to an end is sal
to have been suggested by the fa'
that in this frontier dispute she ca
use an argument that will give
weak power, such as Turkey, cause
think before engaging against tv
strong powers at the same time.

During Severe Cold
Mont

If the ground is too light and loose,
the water will all drain and dry away,
and no matter how rich the soil may
be, the plant will die for want OF
food.
So an important thing to keep In
mind, when preparing the seed-bed.
is that the top soil, to the depth OF
several inches, should be worked up
lightly and loosely enough so that the
root can readily push through. and
still be pressed firmly enough so that
the moisture can not all escape.
All over the stem and leaves are
little openings, called "pores." 1t
takes a microscope of quite high
power to detect them. These are the
plants lungs. Through them it gets
the air it needs to live on.
If you cover a plant so tightly that
it cannot get air, it will smother just
as surely as you would with blan-
ket over your head. That is what will
happen if you get your seeds In too
deep, or if you let the ground get hard
above them before they come up.
If you wish to be sure just how
deep to plant your seeds, try this lit
tie experiment.
Take a tall glass tumbler, or pint
fruit-jar, and fill it with earth. Press
down into it, next the glass, three
seeds of any kind you wish to test.
Press the first clear to the bottom,
: the second about half way to the bot

inch of the top. Do not put them
directly over one another. Wrap a
heavy paper around the glass to keep
out the light, and keep the earth in
it moist and warm.
Every day slip off the paper, and
note how the seeds are doing. Which
ever one thrives the best is the one
you want to take as your guide In the
matter of depth. What do you think
will happen to the one at the bottom?
You have noticed that there is
great part of the seed that is not
filled up by the baby plant. This
part is filled with food upon which
the plant lives until it gets roots long
enough to feed itself
After the food in the seed is all
used up, there must be other food In
the soil ready for 1t to live on. This
is the critical time in a young plants
life. If it Is starved and stunted now,
it will never make up for 1t.
Remember, then, that good seed, a

food in the right shape for the young
plant to use, are the first things to
look after, II you wish to make good
profit on your seasons work.

When Miss Jenkins, after spending ffty-sk years in the city of her birth, decided to buy small farm in the country she determined to miss none of the delights of farming life.
 'I'm going to have a steady horse and two cows and some hens," she an- nounced to her brother, to whom she proudly displayed her new property. ''The Adams boy from the next house will help me about everything. He'll drive the cows and milk and teach me how to harness, and of course shall feed the hens and the little pig"
 .The little pig" echoed her brother. Do you propose to keep pig? And where, should like to knowY
 There's room for a small pigpen back of the barn, away from the road and everything" said Miss Jenkins calmly. "Mr. Adams has some cun- ming little pigs, and that is what I wish. And asked the Adams boy if he thought when the pig had outgrown the pen could find some one to take him and give me another little one in exchange, and he seemed sure could.
