MAY MAKE CHAIRS HERE
Automatic Chair Company Incorpo-
rates With $4,000 Capital. Local
Man Interested.

With a capitalization Of $4,000 the
Automatic Opera Chair company was
incorporated last week with e. I'll.
Smith and Karl Siese, of Portland,
and Chrales w Minnich, of Dallas,
as incorporators. The principal place
Of the company is to manufacture
the automatic chairs for which Mr..
Smith holds a patent. According to
Mr.. Minnich an effort will at once be
made to dispose of stock in the con-
cern, and if successful, a factory will
be erected here.
The chair is so arranged that 1t
will close automatically Immediately
one arises. The benefit of such an ar
rangement may readily be understood
by all who have visited a theater and
attempted to pass out through long
row of opera chairs, about half OF
which were unfolded Many panics
and great loss of life have resulted
from the fact that opera chairs re-
mained open, thus preventing the
rapid egress of the audience to the
aisles One or two theaters have al
ready been equipped with the chairs
and experiments have demonstrated
that the audience may pass out rap
idlye and without confusion. The
patentee of the chair and his associ-
ates point out that, once the chair Is
adopted by a theater in any city
popular demand will require that they
be generally adopted.
E. H. Smith. the patentee of the
chair is also the inventor of the
Adjustable Electric Socket which
company is endeavoring to arrange to
erect a factory for manufacturing
here.

MAY USE OIL ON STREETS
TO ALLAY DUST EVIL
Citv Council Has New Plan Under
Consideration; Believe Oh
Cheaper Than Water.

The question of the substitution OF
crude oil, or ''tarvie'' for street
dressing to do away with the dust nu-
isance, has been seriously considered
by. the city council and is now being
Investigated. 1t is believed that with
a dressing of the ''tarvie" on the
principal business streets, the neces-
sity of sprinkling may be eliminated
and the dust effectually laid for the
entire season. Other municipalities
that have experimental with the ma
terial generally report very fiattsrirs
success. Although the figures nave
not been verified, it is said that the
total cost for the year of dressing OF
this kind, compared with street
sprinkling during the dry months
win show a saving in favor OF the
former. 1t is possible that some OF
the common dirt streets of the city
may be sprinkled with crude oil ano
thus do away with the dust nuisance
in the residence districts which, dur
ing the very dry months, grows very
annoying.

A common three-horss evener

Sometimes it is necessary in working
young animals, or light horses, to give
them an advantage. This can be done
by increasing the length of the lever
arm. There Is no set rule for deter.
mining the amount of advantage to be
given in the case Of small horses. The
most satisfactory way is to use mum.
Der of holes and simply shift the clevis
until the small horse is able to carry
the load the entire day without be.
coming more fatigued than the other
horses. Some claim that the amount of
lever arm or advantage given the small
horse should be in proportion to the
weight, but this is not always satisfac-
tory because it is not taking into con.
sideration the physical condition OF
the horses, which is very important
factor. However, to begin with, this
method OF adjustment does very we'll;
other changes can be made as occasion
requires.

Ry q. b. WALDRON, Hortioulturist.
North Dakota Agricultural College)
The success that the experiment
station and many private growers
have had with small fruits has led to
numerous inquiries a. to the methods
employed and the varieties that may
be recommended. We do not advise
any one to attempt the cultivation Of
fruits without providing for their
shelter by means Of windbreaks. This
Is particularly true Of strawberries
that suffer greatly through the effects
Of drying south winds and applies in .
greater or less degree to all fruits.
The shelter should be along the
south az the destructive winds come
from that quarter. For the location
Of the fruit plantation select north
or northeast Mope, WHARF it can be OBJ
tanned and at any rate avoid south
or west one.
Provision must also be made such
that water will not remain on the
ground for any length of time during
the spring thaws or after heavy rains.
Where the rainfall is not heavy, as
In North Dakota, one should avoid q
sandy or gravelly soil. In mellow soil
the roots of strawberries extend down
two and one-half feet and of the other
fruits probably as deep. From this
fact will be seen the necessity of pro

DISEASES Of cUcUMBERS
Reply to c. v. Fox

II have trouble with my cucumbers
dying too early. They get some kind
Of yellow spots In the leaves and the
vines die before they get done bearing.
I have been using Bordeaux mixture.
I used blue stone. Is this the same
Is copper sulphateP When should
lime be added to the soil2"
The disease attacking our CORE
spondent's cucumber vines is known as
"downy mildew,"a a parasitic fungus
Bordeaux mixture Is the best remedy
you can use; bat this will have no
effect If the fungus has gained con-
siderable headway. Bordeaux mixture
should be made as follows:
For young plants-3 lbs. copper sui
phate, 6 lbs. lime to 50gallons of water.
When the plants get older, use lbs.
copper sulphate, 6 lbs. lime to so gal
Ions Of water.
for copper sulphate.
The beneficial element in lime is
calcium, and it should be applied on
soils that are acid in nature. On soils
that are not in this condition, lime
will be of little or no benefit. The
acidity Of the soil may be determined
by the use Of litmus paper, which may
be obtained at almost any drug store.
Press the moist soil around the blue
litmus paper for ten or fifteen minutes.
II the paper is now red or pink in color
u will indicate that your soil is acid.
There are eight or ten different kinds
Of commercial lime, but where it Is
possible to obtain finely ground lime
stone, this is the most desirable form
TO use. It supplies the necessary cal
eium, and yet the action on the vege-
table matter Is not as severe as 1T Is
with other forms Of lime.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY MEMBERS NORTH DAKOTA
RcULTURAL COLLEGE,

Q.-What is the best method of cur
Ing seed corn?
Ans.-J. H. shepperd. Dean Agricul-
tural Department.
Seed corn should be husked before
freezing weather occurs in the fall
and put into a dry place where the air
oirou1ates well. The ears are placed
or hung 30 that they do not touch
zach other, at least 10 that they are
not more than two ears deep in layers
until they are dry. After that If they
are kept In place where there is no
moisture coming from live stock shell
tered below or from bin of grain,
they should keep satisfactorily until
ht Ia time to plant.
Q.-What effect does aerating have
upon milk?
Ans.-Q. L. Martin, Prof. of Dairy
ing.
II aerating is done In clean air it
|oools the milk and allows the animal
gases to pass OF. but If done in dirty
or dusty surroundings many undesir-
able bacteria enter to cause the milk
TO sour and to develop bad flavors.
Q.-Should corn be drilled or check
ed7
Ans.-R. G. Dcneghue, Prof. of Ag-
ronomy.
1nasmuch as corn is grown largely
to clean the land and our farming op-
!erations are carried on with machin-
|ery, the only rational way to plant
corn is to check it. On land that is
quite weedy it is impossible to get all
