agricultural college, and w. r. Porter,
superintendent North Dakota expert
ment farms.
Chemistry Department.
The chemistry department will fit
out one of the cars.
The removal of fertility by different
crops will be illustrated. Here one
can learn what the crop actually takes
out of the soil.
The food value and composition of
stock foods will be illustrated. What
they really contain can be learned.
An illustration of the formation Of
soil from rock will be given.
The problem Of alkali soils will be
handled.
An exhibit will be made of fax and
flax poisoning from fiax straw.
Samples OF wheat with their impuri-
ties separated out will be shown.
One exhibit will show the amount
Of screenings in wheat and their feed
ing value, which will give an idea of
what farmers lose by not saving their
screenings and feeding them.
One exhibit will show different va
rieties Of wheat and -four made from
them.
One exhibit will show wheat that
has been bleached, bin burned, rained
on, frosted or soured and the -four

insects, gardening and ornamental
planting.
Everyone should see these exhibits
and put the lessons learned into prac-
tice. 1t will result in both profit and
pleasure. 1t will do much to make
the farm home surroundings more at
tractive and the farm table better sup
piled.
C. B. Waldron, professor OF horti-
culture at the agricultural college, Is
in charge of this exhibit. He is we'll
known to North Dakotans having
spent a good deal Of time in farmers
institute work.
Home Economies.
The car devoted to the home brings
a wealth Of material that will do much
to help solve the problem of country
life. The exhibits are put in by the
home economics n engineering de-
partments Of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college.
Fabrics and Dressmakins..
Fabrics and garments that can be
made from them is an interesting and
important subject. Exhibits will be
made OF this subject beginning with
the fabric and winding up with the
finished dress or whatever the gar
ment. ..E
Foods.
The ever present problem is one of
food: the supplying the table three
times a day. There will be exhibits
of methods of canning fruit and meats,
and charts to show the composition
Of foods. Some attention will be given
to setting the table. Menus will be
given, special attention being given 10
meals for school children.
Home Nursing.
What to do in case of an accident
or how to handle and care for a sick
person is often a ~peTplexing problem.
On this car demonstrations and in
structions will be given in what to do
in such emergencies.
Insects.
Insects are the source Of a good
deal Of annoyance in the home. Moths,
bedbugs, ~cockroaches, ants. etc, are in

ity is offered those who can visit the
train. The fields of agriculture and
he home will be covered. In addition
to the demonstration material lectures
will be given in each car; six half
hour lectures in each car at each
town. BY use, of the demonstration
material it will be possible to cover
a great deal of ground in a short time.
and to present the ideas in an IN
phatic manner.
Time Of Stop at Each Town.
The train will stop three hour at
each town. Either from 9 to IL in
the morning, from 2 to 5 in afternoon,
or from Z to 10 in evening, virtually
giving a half day session. Local pos
tiers will give the exact time when
train will arrive and leave.
The Lecturers.
Two or more lecturers will be as
signed to each car. These will be in
constant attendance to lecture, give
demonstrations OF " kiNS pSASOhNh hl
formation TO any one who may so de-
sire. Pres. J.. H. Worst will be
personally in attendance at the train
whenever his official duties at the coll
e Z will permit him to be absent.
prof. j.. H. Shepperd. dean Of agricul-
tural department and vice director of
the experiment station, will be in at
tendance at the train whenever he
can be absent from the home office.

struction will be given in how to ex-
terminate them.
House Plans.
The proper planning of the home has
a good deal to do with the comfort
that can be taken and the ease with
which the work can be done. The
proper arrangements of rooms and the
range, table and shelves in the kitchen
may ave the housewife walking fifty
to 100 miles g. year. The extra steps
that have to be taken because Of an
unnecessary distance betw cen the
range and table runs into miles faster
than one imagines. Plans will be
shown that illustrate a convenient ar
rangement Of rooms and appliances in
the home.
Modern conveniences have reduced
the ~drudgery and added much to the
comfort of the home. These modern
c~onveniences can be had in the farm
home as well as in the city home, and
often at less expense. Exhibits and
drawings will be made of all these
modern conveniences.
neaSlh9 the HomSs
Heating by hot air furnace, hot
water and steam will be illustrated by
models of these systems showing COM
plete plants on a small scale. The
chimney will be illustrated-how to
make it the most effective.
Lighting.
A complete plant to illustrate light
ing a house by gasoline will be ex-
hibited. Portable mantle, lamps using
kerosine, gasoline and alcohol will be
included in the exhibits.
Another interesting feature will be
an electric lighting plant, This will
also furnish power that can be used
for other purposes as for heating fat
iron, etc.
Water in the House.
This is the most important single
feature in making the farm home
comfortable and in removing drudgery.
Plans will be shown to illustrate how
this car be done, how hot and cold
water can be had in any part of the
house, how bath room and toilet can
be installed.
There will be other illustrative ma
terial as we'll.
No one can afford to fail to visit this
car ana learn of the things that are
within reach of the farm home.
The car will be in charge of Miss
Jessie M. Hoover, head of home eco.

variety of wheat does not make good
flour there is no object in raising it.
The pure food and drug exhibits are
of vital interest to all. All have to
make use of food and many have to
use drugs and medicines. These ex-
hibits will pull back the curtain of
sham and deception behind which the
true nature of many foods n medi-
cines have been hidden.
This car will be in charge of e. r.
Laid, chemist, North Dakota expert
ment station and pure food commits
sionsr. After DR.. Wiley, Professor
Ladd is the most prominent Of the
pure food workers.
HortieuIture.
The car devoted to horticulture has
a big mission. The planting Of trees
and the growing OF fruit and vege-
tables needs to be given a big impetus.
One exhibit will consist Of varieties
Of the different kinds of trees adapted
to the conditions in the state.
The varieties Of fruit that do well in
the state will be shown.
Tn0 nanollnS OIL Such plautS dS
celery, tomatoes, cabbage, etc, will be
illustrated from the time the seed is
sown in boxes till they are big
enough to set out.
A number of hardy ornamental
plants will be shown.
Demonstrations will be made In

raising of beef cattle appeals to many
who do not like the dairy business. "A
good type of a beef animal will be on
the train. The good beef animal
brings a good price On the market,
while the scrub does not bring enough
to pay for fooling with. SO learn what
the good type is, learn how to feed
and manage the beef herd.
Dairy Cow.
North Dakota is fast becoming a
dairy state. No state produces better
dairy products. "A good type of dairy
COW will be carried on the train. There
are certain points in a COW from which
one can tell whether the COW is best
for beef or dairy or neither. From
the COW on the train one can learn
what the points are that indicate good
dairy FORM. The COW not of the dairy
type, If kept for milk, will be a losing
proposition.
Hogs.
Several hogs will be carried on the
train. The hog has been well called

Botany and Pure Seed Department.
The botany department at the North
Dakota experiment station has done a
monumental work in it's Investigations
on plant diseases.
The nature OF and methods for Grad
icating potato scab, fax wilt and root
rot have been worked out there. So
the whole world is indebted to North
Dakota for this information. North
Dakota farmers have received 1t first
hand, and now another opportunity
is offered the farmers to learn more OF
these crop reducers. Illustrative ma
terIaI will be used to show how these
diseases work, and how to best Grad
icate them.
The pure seed laboratory has done
a very extensive business during the
past two years, and an effort VIII be
made to have a lee exhibit of the
work Of this laboratory, and in the
talks complete explanations Will be
given regarding the methods by which
the farmers and seedsmen can best
make use of the facilities of the labor
atory. There will also be on this car
an exhibit of all the different kinds
Of aids which the department Of boz
tany sends out for the use Of teachers,
rural school work, helps for seedsmen,
etc. There will be press bulletins and
other publications for distribution.
There will be an extensive exhibit OF
weeds and weed seeds with directions
as to how to handle the same, clearly
printed so that anybody who takes
time to read may understand. There
will be neat exhibits Of the various
root diseases of wheat, fax and other
crops, illustrated by the actual speci-
mens.
There will be a good display OF
terminating apparatus and men there
to explain how to make proper germ
ination tests. There will be at least
two or three types Of seed grading
machinery which will illustrate how

win be on the train. Here one can
learn the best type and the good points
OF the breeds. A few sheep could be
kept on every farm with no expense
for food, as they will eat up what
would otherwise go to waste. They
often do even better than that; by
eating up weeds they do a positive
good. Sheep return two ~profits-wool
and lambs.
Charts and illustrative Material.
There will be a good many charts
to illustrate balanced rotations. sta
tistics from the stallion registration
board will be shown. The proper way
to tie wool with a wool box. Rations
from North Dakota, food stufs, ETC.,
etc.
In charge of this exhibit will be w.
B. Richards, professor of animal hus-
bandry, North Dakota Agricultural
college. He is one of the most sue
cessful live stock instructors and has
been called to Canada and many of
the state fair to act as live stock
judge.
Dairying.
The dairy industry turns the farm
into a factory. 1t brings to the farm
two profits, the profit from grow ing
the food products and the profit from
converting this food into a more con
centrated form. To be profitable the
dairy business needs to be handled
with a good deal of care.
Dairy Equipment.
On the train will be found a good
deal Of material to illustrate how to
handle the dairy business. The Bah
cock tester and scales are a very i'm
portant part of the dairy equipment.
Samples will be shown, their points of
excellence explained as well as how
simple it all it, yet how much it tells.
The Weighing of hay and feed will be
explained and simple ways of doing 1t
demonstrated.
Several makes of sanitary milk pals
will be exhibited. To secure good milk
or butter the first step is to keep out
the dirt. With the use of n OF these
| pals a large part Of dirt gets into the
milk when milking is kept out.
Different types Of milk coolers will
be shown, The barrel cooler costs
very little, yet is wonderfully effective
in cooling the milk and keeping il
cool. Better see how simple it is.
Illustrations will be made of how t.
take the composite sample. Mill
sheets and feeding sheets will bt

well known men ia the dairy profes,
sion. He will be assisted by r. f
Flint, state dairy commissioner, whC
has done much to furnish the NORTH

to properly select and grade seed.
There will be put on at each OF the
institutes a seed treating demonstra-
ton by an expert who can answer all
Of the questions necessary to explaLl
why certain steps are taken in the
selection and treatment. Indeed, a
view of this a should leave the Wis
itor with a rather clear understanding
of why every farmer should grow his
own seed; why he should select it and
harvest 1t dry; why he should grade it
to the plumpest, brightest colored
stuff, freeing it from weed seeds n
also from the diseases by proper
treatment, and last but not least a
good reason why he should follow out
a consistent system of crop rotation.
This exhibit is in charge Of H. L.
Bolley, botanist, North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, as well as pure seed
commissioner. Professor Bolley ranks
among the leading men in his line of
Investigations. The grain raising
countries Of the world are all making
use of Professor Bolley's discoveries
in eradicating plant diseases.

Who Should Visit Train.
The train will cover every phase OF
the home and of farm enterprise, SO
that it will have lessons for all, bat
it is not intended simply for country
people alone. Business and profess
sionaI men, ONE and children, tows

Boiled Down Essence.
The lectures have been boiled down
till they contain the essence OF the
subjects. The exhibits have been
planned to give the greatest amount
of information in the ~clearest mannsr

Encyclopedia Of Agriculture.
The train is a veritable encycIo-
pedia of agriculture, on wheels, with
the real things for illustration, in
