Native pastures in North Dakota
will soon be a thing Of the past, save
In few instances where lands are
found too rough to be titled. Other
pastures must be introduced. Which
are the plants that will furnish them?
That is a question that must soon be
answered. .'8 55f}s
# The best single pasture plant for
North Dakota conditions Is Russian

in the spring fully two weeks earlier
than any other grass. It grows during
longer period and will furnish more
pasture than any other grass plant It

stands drouth much better than tim
othy. It may be drilled in on prepared
land any time from the opening of
spring until early July. The seed may
be drilled in with nurse crop Of thin
sowing, as oats or barley. About ten
pounds of seed may be sown per acre.

The second best single pasture is

When sown thus it will provide pas

moist season. In, the spring 1t may be

In few, days now the marsh hawk
will be seen in North Dakota coarsing
up and down the fields, meadows and
sloughs, flying low and looking for
mice and gophers. It is particularly
important that attention be called to
this valuable bird at this time for ere

shoot geese. in accordance with the
unfortunate provisions Of the recent
amendment to the game laws. The
unfortunate feature Of this amend

the shooting and frightening Of the
lean, hungry and fish favored north
ward flying geese, which are on their
way to their nest grounds. s In spite
of game wardens, and intelligent pub
lie sentiment thousands of other birds
are sure to be shot by both the sue
cessful and the disappointed hunters
because of the Unsuitable desire to
shoot SON ething which is alive and
on the wing. .%. ,.. &. Z.
The marsh hawk is especially likely
to fall a victim to this sort Of reck-
less, thoughtlessl shooting. Large
numbers of hunters who do not dis
eliminate between the different kinds
OF hawks still believe that every hawk
should be shot at sight and act ac-
eordingly, frequently not even going
20 see what bird they have killed or
wounded. The fact that the marsh
hawk flies slowly, low down over
marshes and meadows, intently look
ing for mice and gophers makes it an
easy target for. concealed gunners. It
10 no indication of skill as a marksman
to be able to drop marsh hawk under
these conditions. It indicates instead
ignorance of the usefulness OF this
bird or culpable desire to kill some
thing regardless of its value.

and spared by every man or boy who

cESSFUL RESULTS WITH ALEAL--
"a. Time spent in experimenting on
this point is the same as time wasted.
u The simplest and surest method Of
incubation is to secure dirt from some
successful alfalfa field and scatter it
broadcast over the land Intended for
alfalfa. There are two or three sim.
pie directions that should be observed
here. The amount OF dirt necessary
for incubation Is 100. to 200 pounds
per acre. To 8 aid I'M dist ibuti ion the
alfalfa dirt may be mixed with its
volume Of other dirt, to increase the
bulk. The soil to be used for inocu.
lation should not be allowed TO dry
out. The application should be made
on a cloudy day, and the inoculating
soil should be narrowed in soon after
being applied. If the soil containing
the germs is allowed to dry out, or ii
exposed to sunshine, the germs will
be killed.. s.3 q;
Pure culture can be purchased OF
dealers, but these generally require
more careful treatment than the aver.

four pounds Of alfalfa. This may be
mixed and drilled in lightly with a,
very light seeding Of oats. The merit
from the rye grass comes from its
great power to withstand drouth- Its
weakness consists in its growing only
for a comparatively short period in
May, June and early July. The alfalfa
should furnish a large amount Of pas.
ture for a couple of years, after which
it would probably fail But ordinarily
none of the pastures should be main
tanned for long period. It is much
better to break them up occasionally

soldier to attempt. Through acquiring a
knowledge of the redskins language
Standsh assisted Winslow in treating
with the natives.
Although he was not a member of the
council, because not of the Pilgrim
Church, he was treasurer of the colony
for six years, and assistant treasurer for
twenty years. At his death the In
ventory of his estate showed him to be
worth as much as the man Of today who
has $4,000 to his credit in bank. Little
Is known of Standish's fair wife, Rose
who died soon after coming to America,
but Longfellow beautifully describes tie
stern soldiers wooing of Priscilla Null
lins through young John Alden. AS Miles
Standish lost his suit on account of his
em.ssary, he persuaded his sister-in-law.
Rachel, to come to the new world and
become his second wife.
Priscilla and John Alden had probably
first met at Southampton, where Alden
was induced to join the Pilgrims because
he was a cooper. and no ship could leave
port without such workman AS great
as Bradford and Standish were, another
man was needed to complete their work
or to form the triumvirate of the Pilgrim
republic. That man was WinsloW, who
served Plymouth for many years. He was
the able diplomat, with rare courage ana
Judgment. Ii is probable that there never
was any mission of Importance about the
colony that did not include Winslow.
He accompanied Standish on his first
trip of exploration, after the landing OF
the Mayflower. He went with the mill
tary leader to make terms with Massa-
soft when the chief and his many war
riors stood on the hill and asked that
some one be sent to them. Much of the
credit of that first treaty of friendship
between the white men and natives was
due to the management of Winslow. In
his wisdom this diplomatist wore his
breastplate and sword when treating
with Massasoit. He carried gifts of
knives to the chief and his brother. who
was SO impressed with the splendor or

with his neck and heels tied together
When the recalcitrant begged for par

able position. Had this punishment taught
Ellington that the law Of the colony
would be enforced perhaps he might not
have fatally wounded John Newcomer
execution. After his death his wife
seems to have fallen within the clutches
of the strict laws, for there is record
that she was made to sit in the stocks
and was publicly whipped for the crime
of slander.
Another member Of the Plymouth colony
who was not of the Pilgrim church was
the brave Miles Standish. Without him
1t is probable that the new colony could
not have stood. Standish was of an old
English family with knightly honors. He
had indirectly assisted his own country
by fighting with the Dutch against Spain.
In England he had position and means
yet he left these advantages to cast his
lot with the Pilgrim exiles From the
very landing in the new world he became
commander-in-chief of the small colonial
forces. His strength and wisdom proved
more than a match for the Indians, who
soon realized that nothing was too dan
gerouS for him to undertake.

he was the most valuable man in the new
town His power in the colony surpassed
that of the governor, but as he was the
truest of characters he never caused any
trouble by his strength or by his taste
for authority. 1t was Standish who led the
first party of explorers that left the May
flower 1t was he who went out with his
musket to meet the first band of un-
friendly Indians. He 1t was who well
