Dairy EXHIBIT
AT BISMARCK
Managers Of Exposition Would
Stimulate Interest in This
Branch Of Farm Work.

This is the first year in the history
Of the state that a bumper crop has
not caused a receding of interest in
the dairy industry in North Dakota.
Instead of farmers feeling overly op-
timistic because they have realized
heavy profits on small grain raising,
and planning to try it just once more,
most of them will use a portion of the
money they receive to purchase dairy
stock and modern dairy equipment.
Commissioner w. c. Gilbreath, realiz-
ing this tendency and desiring to slim
ulate interest in dairying so much as
possible, has added a dairy show to
the second annual North Dakota In
dustrial Exposition that will be held
at Bismarck Oct. l to ID.
The principal feature of the dairy
exhibit, that will be CHARTERED in the
capacious new dairy building, will be
a model sanitary dairy barn, with a
herd of pedigreed dairy stock in
charge of state and federal dairy ex-
perts. Two large concrete silos will
be built by the state. One will be
filed with ensilage that will be fed
to the COWS. The other will be built
during the course of the show, SO that
visitors may watch the work of con-
struction. Thus a practical lesson in
dairying and in the use of silos will
be afforded everyone. In the lecture
hall addresses will be delivered daily
by. the experts in attendance, and one
large hall will be devoted to a display
of creamery and dairy equipment and
supplies.
The exposition will also include at
tractive displays of grains and grasses,
seeds, vegetables and other products
of North Dakota soil from every
county in the state. There will be an

The writer has, after a number of
years experimenting with this work,
come to the conclusion that the old
wheat lands of the Red River. valley
and similar wheat areas are no more
exhausted for the growth of wheat
than they We're for the growth of flax.
1t is evident, however, hat such lands
may be said to be, in a good many
cases, wheat-sick in essentially the
same ems as the so called flax ex-
hausted lands are said to be fax-sick.
Such lands are not worn out chemical
ly, but are infested with the various
diseases which wheat is heir to in the
same sense as a stable may be infect
ed by the diseases which attack horses,
for example, glanders. The lands must
be disinfected not only locally, but
quite generally throughout the entire
area of the wheat growing regions be-

the old time yields of heavy, plump
wheat. Our experiments show that
such wheat can be grown by sterliz-
ing the soil and carefully selecting the
seed. Crop rotation, seed selection
and seed distinction is the royal road
to the elimination of wheat-sick soil

the road to the elimination of the fax
tired condition. At present I I'M not
recommending any definite rotation.
Everyone knows that certain types of
rotations do give good results with
wheat. My contention is that these
rotations have never been carried out
with general unanimity among the
farmers in a certain region, and fur
thermore seed selection and seed dis
infection are essentials in the rota-
ton. To explain: If the reader had a
stable full of glandered horses he
would decide that it was a losing
proposition. He would quarantine the
animals which had been exposed to
the disease and kill those which had
the disease. He would then disinfect
the stable, which, if properly done,
would leave the stable essentially as
| good as it was at the start. He would
then be very careful as to what horses
he placed in the stable. He would
not knowingly buy a lot of thorough
bred horses and then introduce one
or two scrubs known to be attacked
by glanders. There would be no use
In di%sinfecting the stable if he
careless in this regard. So it is with
wheat. One cannot expect to reap the
full benefits of expensive methods of
crop rotation and soil cultivation if no
care is taken in selecting the seed. To
get the full benefits of such labors, Sc
lect the best home grown seed avail
able, SOW a pure variety and grade it
to the plumpest, heaviest wheat stuff.
Disinfect that seed by can of the
formaldehyde treatment or other eff.
fective seed treatment, and stick to a
system of rotation which does not call
for wheat more often than nce in
four or five years. Get your neigh
bors to do likewise and see what hap
pens in this land of wheat growing.

The other day a woman threw up
her little hands in despair. She had
written to her dressmaker and had
been refused. So she saw in her i'm
agination summer without new
frocks, for she does not care to sew.
Now, a frockless summer Is no joke,
and as necessity has come to the res
cue in many similar cases, this little
woman went to the stores and
bought three dresses. They looked it,.
too.
The lace was not fine; there was
factory-made stamp in the MT oil
the belts, the adjustment of buckles
and the cut of the collars. Why are
collars on bought dresses always
hopelessly low?
But the little buyer had scheme,
which, if followed by more women
would eliminate dressmaklng worries
and decimate the number of dresses
that are exactly like hundreds OF
others.
Her siax dress cost less than 81. She
first ripped off the belt with an exc
cradle bow. Then she considered the
plain net yoke. This she cut down IN
round line at both front and back
and piped the edge with SILK from the
discarded girdle.
The woke was changed completely
in appearance by a lining of heavy
lace placed underneath and by a
straight line of tiny tailored oows
made from the silk of the girdle.
She then tried to match the SILK
and failed. But she is in touch WIN
fashions and has noticed In the I'M
ported models that girdles OF con-
trasting colors in either satin or vel
vet are the thing. So soft girdle or
royal blue panne velvet was draped
around the waist line, caught hlgn
I'D on the bodice by a row Oh tne
silk bows. You see how the SILK peit
that was impossible on the bought
dress strived to help in the general
change.

less than 81. Its lines were gooo'

tion for handwork in royal blue
thread. The padding was already
supplied, and it was the work of a
few leisure hours to give touch to
the frock that added dollars to the
value.
Cheap lace that edged the sleeves
and collar line was removed and a
piping of blue silk was substituted.
To give an unusual touch a silk
girdle took the place of the plain
stitched belt. This latter was used
as bias pipings on the silk girdle
and round buckle of cardboard was
covered with linen and fastened the
girdle at the side.

in the way of adding little touches

STRAWBERRY DISHES

Strawberries a La Pavlova.-Cut
very large strawberries in half and
lay them in a glass bowl. Sprinkle
them with sugar and tiny fragments
of cinnamon and few chopped pink
candied rose petals, bits of pineapple
and next dash of maraschino. Cover

chill it before serving it.
Marshmallow Strawberry Fluff
Chill pint of cream and whip it un-

beaten white of one egg and sweeten
it to taste. Take cupful and one
half of strawberries and half cupful
of finely cut marshmallows and mix
them with the cream. Arrange them
in cold strawberry dish.
Strawberry Charm.-Take one and
one-fourth cupfuls of perfect straw
berries. Put them in a bowl with one
cupful of powdered sugar and the
white of one egg. Beat it with wire
whisk until the mixture holds its
shape (about half an hour). Pile it
lightly on a dish and serve it with a
boiled custard that is nicely favored
with vanilla.

ART OF COOKING FRITTERS

Fritter cooking is in many house,
holds an unknown branch of cookery.
Many artistic and tasty dishes are
at the command of the cook who
masters the art of fritter making,
the charm Of which is its simplicity.
The four important points to remem-
Der to insure success are: /, to make
a good batter; 2. to have a proper
pan; 3, to have plenty of frying
medium; 4, TO cook over bright and
brisk fire. Fritters can be made
sweet and savory. using fruit, vege-
tables, fish, remains of cold meat or
chicken, etc.
The Batter-Plaee four tablespoon
fuls of flour in pan, add Il tea
spoonful salt and the yolks of two
eggs and three tablespoonfuls of
salad oil. Work this to a smooth
paste and add warm water to make a
thick sauce. Beat the mixture for
at least ten minutes. The batter must
coat the spoon thickly when lifted
out of ii. The mixture must stand
an hour or so before required, and
just before using the white of the
eggs must be beaten to a stiff froth
and added. Milk may be used in
place OF the salad oil, If preferred.

A PRETTY LITTLE FROCK
BY MAY MANTON

Here is a frock that little girls are
very apt to like. There is a big fancy
collar. and the panel in the front and
the box plait in the back of both the
blouse and the skirt are so joined at
the waistline that they give the effect
of being continuous, though the
blouse and the skirt are cut sepa-
rately. The skirt has an inverted
plait at each side. In the illustration
the dress is made of embroidered
batiste and trimmed with tucked
white batiste banding and buttons.
The neck is square and the sleeves
are in three-quarter length. In the
back view the model Is shown made
of gingham in solid color and
trimmed with plaid. The sleeves are
long and finished with pointed cuffs,
and the neck is made high With
standing collar attached. In place of
the plaid trimming striped material
could be used, or plaid or striped MA
terial could be trimmed with a solid
color If a dress of white 's pre-
ferred, this same model could he used
for white linen or lawn, with the
trimming portions of all-over em7'
broidery and banding to match.
Linen in natural color, too, would
be both pretty and serviceabIe. In
this case the dress could be all # the

trimmed with brown buttons, or with

Boarding Place for Dogs
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear MISS D00n.
l am going to ask you for some Of
your good advice concerning our large
female shepherd dog. 1t is this: There
are only my mother, the dog and myself
in the family, and we do not, know where
to leave our pet when we spend few
days or weeks away from home. Will
you kindly suggest where we could learn
of good boarding house for doggie,
where she will be taken care of and not
let mingle with other dogs.
ANXIOUS ONE.
Some of the bird stores take in
summer dog boarders, but, as your
pet is large dog, it may be well to
have him looked after at a good
boarding kennel, where he can have
regular exercise, etc. The rules of
this paper do not permit me to recon-
mend any particular dog hotel. but
you can doubtless get the address of
one or more from some bird store
near you and can then call upon tho
proprietor, look him and his place
over, and decide whether or not 1t
would be safe to entrust your dog
with him. You can make it a con-
dition of her board that the dog be
kept separate from others in the ken
mel and give any other directions that
you wish concerning her. Sometimes
one has a relative or friend who is
fond of dogs and would look after
ones pet while absent from the city
but in such a case the dog is more
apt to stray or be stolen than when
left in the care of the keeper of a
kennel, whose interests lie in keep
ing the dog safe and well. Perhaps
some of your friends have had occa-
sion to board their dogs and can
recommend a suitable place for yours

BACKACHE
BY a Physician.

Baoxache, the quack doctors tell
you in advertising their nostrums,
means kidney trouble. In reality it
generally means nervous exhaustion.
Nervous people who work under
great mental strain are almost sure
to have more or less backaehe. It's
a warning. 1t means that you are
working too hard or too long, or
under bad conditions
When you get the warning let up.
Take 1t easy; take more exercise; get
more fresh air; play more. Otherwise
the backache may develop into a case
of nervous prostration.
