BEAM CROP VERY PROFITABLE
North Dakota Farmer Has Given
Il TrlaI Of Eighteen Years
with Good Results,

Hillsboro, N. D., Nov. 9-Rais-
ing beans in North Dakota is very
profitable farming, according to
John Eitman Of Mapleton, who
has had eighteen years experien-
ce and during that time has lost
but two crops from frost. Mr..
Eitman says beans can be made q
very profitable crop. He suggests
however, that they should be rails
ed in connection with sheep,
which consume the by-products.
''The worst enemy to the bean
crop in this state," said Mr.. Fit
man, "is the pigeon grass, the
growth of which makes it neces-
sary to hand pull the CROP" In
the eighteen years he has been
raising from ten to seventy acres
of beans, preparing the soil care
fully and selling his product for
seed. The largest yield prior to
this season was eighteen bushels
to the acre. The prices have
ranged in the past eighteen years
from $1.25 to 50 per bushel.

Of the reportorial force of the
New York Sun, under the auspi-
ces Of the Young Ladies' society
Of the Congregational church, at
the Grand opera house, last eve
ming, was one of the most instruc

EXIT ~ the POISON ROUTE

A binder expert by the name of
Joseph Smith, who for a number
Of years has been employed on
the Adams farm during harvest
and threshing time, committed
suicide in Breckenridge last Mon
day afternoon, by taking poison.
But little is known about the man
here, except that he came from
Michigan, and it is believed that
he has a brother in Grand Rapids.
Smith came to town over a month
ago from the Adams farm with
over two hundred dollars. He
was man that drank heavily.
At the time Of his death there
was not a cent found on him. He
was known and identified by a
number of people in Breckenrid-
ge and Wahpeton. His brother
has been notified.

TWO PUBLISHERS
WERE ARRESTED
Publishers OF Jim Jam Jems Arc
Indicted BY Federal Jury
Realeased On Bonds.

Indictments were returned on
Saturday afternoon against Sam
H. Clark and C. H. Crockard, the
publishers of Jim Jam Jems mag
azine, by the federal grand jury,
which is in session at Fargo. Both
the editor of that periodical and
his business partner were appre-
hnded a few moments later at the
Gardner hotel. An arrangement
was Immediately given before U.
S. Commissioner Montgomery and
they we're released under bonds
of $4,000 each.
The indictments charge the
publishers of Jim Jam Jems with
sending obscene and immoral
reading matter in interstate COM
merce. Neither of the two de-
PENDANTS were called before the
grand jury, it is understood, most
of the evidence being furnished
that body by newsdealers from
Minnapolis and st. Paul who were
called as witnesses.
The publishers of the maga-
zine have taken the precaution
not to send copies of the periodi-
cal through the mails but have
sent consignments by express.
The interstate commerce regula-
tions governing the shipment OF
literature by express are the same
as the United States mails.
1t is understood that Mr.. Clark
and Mr.. Crockard have retained
counsel and at the time OF the
trial, either here in January or
in Bismarck in April, Dudley
Nash of Minot will represent
them. Neither of the defendants
has made any statement concern
ing the action taken by the grand
jury.

LIBRARY NOTES

The six fine volumes on Eng
lish literature which were dona-
ted by the Fortnightly club are
now catalogued and ready for
reference.
There were thirty callers at the
library Saturday afternoon. The
crate fire, the sunshine and the
we'll filled bookcases, a few choice
pictures and numerous interest
ing magazines make the room
quite attractive. Remember, all
are welcome every Saturday af-
ternoon from $3.50 to $3.50 and
every Wednesday evening from
1880 to Q o'clock.
The library committee is CRATE
full to another Wahpeton man
Mr.. OppenheiIner-for the ten per
cent of his cas- hsales on Satur-
day last.
The opera house management
generously offered the public Ii
brary 25 per cent of all tickets
sold by the ladies for the Paul
Gilmore entertainment, but as the
"event of the season" occurred
the same evening at the Armory
there were few purchasers for the
tickets.
We wish to thank Mr.. Braun
for the free slide advertising he
has given the library these past
few months at his theatre. The
Literary club ladies have apprec-
lated the occasional French his
torical pictures at this theatre as
they are having programs on

MORE RAILROAD BUILDING
Forecast 10 For Another Good
Year In North Dakota.

That there will be no let up in
railroad construction in North
Dakota next season is indicated
by the attitude of the railroad
companies. The Great Northern
has filed resolutions for a new
line from New Rockford into Mon
tana, while the 500 is contemplat
ing an extension from Plaza west
into new territory into western
North Dakota. The latest move
is that Of the Northern Pacific
in filing resolutions for an extern
sion Of the proposed cutoff from
Edgeley to Cannonball.
The completion of this cutoff
connecting Wadena, Minn., and
Miles City, Mon, has been contem
plated. for some time. The new
line will relieve the traffic on the
main line, as many of the fast
trains will be routed over the
shorter road. It will also give
the cities in the southern tier
Of counties better service. AL
though for the time being the new
cutoff may mean a loss to Fargo
jobbing interests and an advan-
tage to the Minnesota centers, the
ultimate result should be the
building up in Wahpeton and
other southern border North Da-
kota cities of extensive jobbing
interests.

WILD DUCKS ARE tanned
Movement to Save and Restore
0ame Promises to be Very
Successful.

Winnipeg, Nov. 9.-The agri-
cultural experiment station at the
Connecticut state college is tam
ing wild ducks. The station was
enabled this season, through the
funds supplied by sportsmen, to
send an expedition to the Cana
dian northwest to study methods
of increasing wild ducks and get
ting breeding stock for experimen
tai purposes. The exposition was
in charge of state Ornithologist
Herbert X. Job.
Most species of wild ducks have
not been persuaded to breed un-
der restraint, but it has been be-
lieved they would do so if stock
could be secured that was hand
reared from the egg and had new
er learned wild ways. Job estab-
lished a camp on the shore of
Lake Manitoba. Wild duck eggs
were collected in the surround
ing wilderness, and hatched out
in incubators. Twelve species of
wild ducks nests in that region
and eggs or young of all these
were secured.
In the majority of cases every
egg hatched. The average forthe
season was 90 per cent, far bet
ter than poultry men often at
tain. Most Of the young, except
of two peculiar maritime species
the white winged scooter and
the ruddy duck-were reared with
little loss. Even such supposedly
wild natures as the redhead, can
vasback, bluebill and various
others proved perfectly docile and
thrived in confinement.
On the 1000 mile journey back
Job personally cared for and
tended the consignment in the ex-
press cars. A fine, large stock,
representing eleven species ar
rived in good condition and are
now thriving at one of the large
preserves affiliated with the ex-
pertinent station. Experiments
with them will be conducted at
that place. On the trip only one
duckling, some three weeks old,
died.
The achievement is expected to
prove the beginning of an import
ant movement to save and restore
the wild fowl, while demonstrat-
ing the effect of environment ON
even the widest creatures.

LIVESTOCK PAYS
MORE THAN WHEAT
North Dakota Farm School Grad
uate is Satisfied with tho
Experiment.

One North Dakota farmer has
satisfied himself that the produc
tion of livestock is more profit
able than the production of bump
er wheat crops, according to re-
suits reported to the Better Farm
ing special service bureau. o. A.
Schollander, a graduate of the
agricultural college, raised 22O
head of hogs. Last week he mar
keted eighty-nine head of last
winters pigs, topping the market
at S8.15 a hundred weight. This
carload of hogs, while not heavy
in weight, brought over $1,000.
They were wintered cheaply and
grown last summer chiefly on the
pasture crops, supplemented by
screenings from his last years
grain crop, or screenings purch-
ased from the elevators. Seven
teen acres of mixed small grains,
planted thickly, were more than
sufficient to pasture 22O head of
hogs for the season. On Sept. 10
they were turned into a field of
corn for finishing.
Considering the rental value of
the land as an acre, and fair
price for all labor required in pro
duction of corn, it cost Sc an acre
and averaged close to forty BUSH
els. The hogs harvested it them
selves. While complete figures
are not available at this time, it
is probable that the first car of
hogs paid a net profit of over $500
The area required to produce
the grain, pasture and corn nee
essary to grow those hogs and
feed the dams was less than forty
acres. With wheat at twenty
bushels to the acre, fair aver
age yield this year, not less than
100 acres would have been requir
ed to have produced the same
cash income as was ODtalneQ 1fOm
the eighty-nine head Of hogs.
The labor requirements and other
items of cost would have been
fully as large.
At the time the hogs we're mar
keted, Mr.. Schollander marketed
a car Of steers that averaged$6.5O
a hundred-weight. These steers
were grazed during the summer
on pasture and finished the past
four weeks on corn. They har-
vested their own corn as did the
hogs.
Livestock affords a splendid
market for the early varities Of
corn, such as can be grown in
this state, and the man using live
stock for harvesters can be assur
ed that he will not have any trou-
BILE with labor.
