/: When Howells was a cub reporter
in his Ohio youth he was sent by his
paper to the state capital to report
very tense and very bitter legislative
proceedings there. When he arrived
late in the afternoon the session had
turned into a riot. with need of ambu-
lances to carry OF the disabled mem.
bers and militia to sit on those still
in the ring. As the legislative pro
ceedings we're interrupted by the
grand shindy, and as they were not
likely to be resumed for some days.
Nowells, having no legislative pro.
eeedings to report, az instructed,
strolled OF behind the Capitol and
watched a very lovely sunset. writing
q charming description Of it, which he
fled early at the telegraph ONCE, with
the note to his managing editor that,
there being no legislative proceed.

Grand FORKS. w Two or three hun
-dred Grand Forks County farmers Will
work with the North Dakota Better
Farming association this year under
the direction OF o. D. Center. former
head OF the agricultural work in ILL
nois, who has begun his work here
as county expert. That number Of
farmers will establish so-called dem
onstration fields, and on those fields,
which will range from one to ten
acres, they will raise alfalfa.
North Dakota can raise alfalfa"
Mr.. Center says, "and there is no rea-
son why Grand Forks should not be
to the fore in that enterprise"
Corn, too, will be given close at
tention by the farming expert, and he
expects to have several thousand
acres Of corn in various parts of the
county, grown under his direction.
The breeding and production Of corn
on q scale which will make 1t possible
for Grand Forks not only to supply its
own farmers with seed, but also to
place it in q position to supply the

of which there will be about eight.
There are four different kinds of soils
in Grand Forks county, and it is the
plan Of the association officials to
have two of the demonstration plats
on each of those soils. Farmers sup,
plying the ground for those plats are
required to operate the farming on
the plan that will be laid down by the
county expert. I.
But the association expert will not
confine his operations to the education
Of the grown-ups alone. He will also
take up the promotion of corn and
potato growing among the boys of the
county. They will be asked to organ
.ize corn growing associations. aud
there bids fair to be much interest
in that feature. It is expected that
the association will have some big
III prizes to give away next fall,
and the prizes will be awarded on the
acre-yield. There Of course will be
prizes for the quality Of corn, al well,
but the acre yield department will be
featured strong.

Farm and Keep a Large
Family.

Bel1eld. pm. For several years tie
main cry coming from the North Da7
kota agricultural college is diver
sify," and since having q short Aalk
with Alex. Monty, one Of the makhy
we'll known bonanza farmers in the
great Belfield county, we are more
fully convinced than ever, that any
man-who knows anything at all
about farming-caa be successful If
he will but add a few: mich cows to
his farm stock. Hard times may come
and hard times may go, but the farm
er who turns a small number of his
ceres into pasture for dairy purposes
becomes acquainted with the fact, apd
not by reading it in the several peri
odicals that come to him through the
mails; his purse II well replenished at
the first Of every month by the pro-
ceeds from his COWS.
Mr.. Monty is by no e a small
farmer-operating in all 800 acres
To properly farm an acreage of such
proportion, considerable help is need
ed, and to feed such help substantial
meals must be prepared; capable men
demand good wages and as a rule
want their stipend monthly. All their
expense, besides raising a good sized
family, Mr.. Monty has been able to
meet, without any extra exertion, with
nothing more than the money he re-
ceived in. return for the butter made
from the milk of ten cows, besides
always having a little Cow money
as he calls ito his credit in the
bank,
Last year was poor for the man who
sowed his last acre to grain, and this
spring found many without sufficient
cash to purchase the necessities Of
life for themselves and families. How
different it is with men like Mr.. Mon
ty; they are able to hitch up their
drivers and come to town with the in
dependence Of q man who can walk
up to the merchant and say Il want
SO and So and have the cash to pay
for it. And The Times would like to
see every farmer in this fertile dis
trict follow the example, and next
year at this time each and every farm

DELICATE BUT KEEN THRUST
English Lawyers Method Of Handling
Witness SO az to Discredit Him
With Jury.

Said John B. Curtis, the well known
lawyer and president Of the Indiana
Society of New York, speaking about
the recent heckling Of Detective Burns
when he was on the witness stand in
q memorable ase I'm afraid that
sometimes we get a little too personal
and severe with witnesses. How much
better was the handling Of a famous
detective who was testifying in a Lon
don court. 1t was a divorce case and
Mr.. Frank Lockwood was the opposing
counsel. The detective witness came
to the stand dressed in black broad
cloth, wore a gold fob and seals and
looked much like a respectable
middle-aged solicitor than a member
of the. police force. The mans ties.
timony was likely to be damaging to
his client, SO Mr.. lockwood began his
cross-examination very gently and
was excessively polite.
"1 believe you are John Blank Of
the firm of Blank & Co., the eminent
detectives?
(, "'Yes, SIR said the witness, 4 rep
resent that firm.'
":And 1 presume continued the
counsel. that in the course of your
duties as a detective you have, at
times. to assume many disguises?'
ayes, SIR a. ~
F.. ""Then.' said Lockwood, smiling,
twill you have the goodness to tell the
court just what you are disguised as
now3'"

sets delegations to the republican and
democratic national conventions will
be selected at a statewide primary,
when al opportunity will be given to
each voter also to express a pref
erence between three republican and
two democratic candidates for the
presidency.
OF the SO delegates to each Of the
conventions. eight will be chosen at
large and two from each of the IA
congressional districts.
With the departure. Of President
Taft and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
from the state, the campaign leaders
gave their attention to figuring up the
net results of the speaking tours.
Both sides were confident that the
final visits of. the candidates meant
more votes, and neither side wal will
ing to admit the possibility Of any
thing but victory in the primaries.
Rival Tours Unique. 4
Interest conferred during the cam
paign in the Eight between President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, whose RI
val speaking tours we're unique in the
history Of American politics and did
not cease until voting time was less
than 10 hours away.
Senator La Toilette also is reckoned
as q factor in the contest, in relation
to the preferential vote.
On the democratic side the contest
between Governor Wilson and Speaker
Clark never attained the activities
that marked the Taft and Roosevelt
campaigns. As no other democratic
candidates have appeared in the field
except Governor Foss, of whom there
has been no concerted movement, the
party vote is expected to fall consid-
erably below that for the republican
candidates.
At the state election last November,
1852 democrats and republicans
voted. About so per cent Of the re-
publicans and 20 per cent of the demo-
Gratis are enrolled for primaries. and
unless they have given previous no
tice cannot change their political al
legiance. But of the 2l4.897 democrats
who voted for Governor Foss. 36,160
were progressive democrats, and I'M
der a bill which became q law on last
Saturday, have no enrolment and may
vote either the republican or demo-
cratic ticket today.
The same applies to those who did
not attend the party primaries last
fall, but if they vote for either Taft
or Roosevelt they will become en-
rolled republicans.
Under the Massachusetts presiden-
tial preferential primary law, the state
may show a preference for Roosevelt
and yet choose pledged Taft delegates.

To Change Hangman's Knot.

Atlanta, Oct. 12.-The next man
who is legally hanged in Atlanta may
enjoy the unique experience of dying
with the knot adjusted under his
right jaw instead of against the Jug
ular vein on the left.
County officials are much interest
ed in the announcement of the British
scientists who have investigated
hanging, to the effect that while the
old-fashioned system of having the
knot on the left may or may not
break the neck, that the knot adjust
ed under the right part of the chin,
at the point of the jaw, is invariably
certain to, produce immediate uncon-
sciousness through the same process
as the boxers Knockout blow on
the point of the jaw.
This method has never been tried
in Georgia or anywhere else in the
South so far as is known in the Full
ton county sheriff's Office.
A full investigation of the scien-
tifc accuracy of these, statements will
be made, and. if they prove true, the
new method will probably be adopt

Columbia, Oct 12.-John ]. Jones,
who is under sentence of ten years
