date farmer is very much aware OIL
the fact that the regular grooming OF
cows increases the supply of milk
and counts strongly for cleanliness
He now has an electrical device Tor
doing this.
One of the most interesting cleo
trical devices on the modern farm IS
the telephone. In the old days the
men and women we're called from the
fields for dinner by the blowing OF a
horn or by sending the small boy
trudging across the field with the
good news. The modern farmers men
take TO the fields with them tele-
phone which can be rugged up near
where they are working and receive
messages from the house by that
means.
with the installation Of these cleo
trical devices much of the romantic
side of life on the farm passes away
Even n modern poet would have a
hard time getting anything lyrical OUT
OF an electrical mixer, and the beauty
of load of hay somehow fades when
n motor truck goes chugging across
the fields with It. But the American
farmer ceased TO be romantic when

and dairy farming In the east, the modern farmer
has caught the scientific spirit Of the time and
is getting practical results from his realization
OF the fact that methods must accommodate
themselves to changing conditions
AT the annual convention of the American
Institute Of Electrical Engineers held recently
in Boston. the electrical farm was considered in
q paper by Putnam A. Bates. He discussed in
some detail the work being done by farm
ers who developing the arid districts Of the
west, showing that irrigation and electricity are
tho two factors that promise most for the future
where natural conditions are for the most part
against the farmer. Irrigation came first and
then the advantages of electric power pumping
were realized. The so-caled electrical farm has
been IN existence for dozen years or more, but
It is only recently that there has been organ
lied effort to disseminate knowledge on the prac-
teal use of electricity in agriculture.
Referring to the southwest and to the cleo
trio farm as he found it there, Mr.. Bates says:
In some sections of that wonderfully fertile
country, we'll protected by the high mountain
ranges, practically every farm is an electric
farm Thta is to say, the buildings are lighted
by electricity and many of the laborious opera
tons are accomplished by the of electric
power. These really were our first electric farms

FROST IS STILL
in The GROUND
FARMERS SAY THAT FROST LINE
IS SLOW IN WITHDRAWING
CONTINUATION or SUNSHINE
WILL SOON PUT GROUND IN
SHAPE.

Farmers yer parts OF Clay county,
tributary to Moorhead say the frost
is rather slow in disappearing from
the land. With a continuation Of the
sunshine which has prevailed for three
days, they say conditions will soon be
ripe for seeding activities.
Machinery which was put On fields
a few days ago had to be withdrawn
temporarily. One place where condi-
tions are right is the Lamb farm in
Oakport township, two miles north of
Dilworth-there all hands r busy
dragging.
Jacob Kiefer was out on his farm,
a short distance from the agricultural
college, Fargo, yesterday afternoon,
and today was completing arrange
ments for beginning seeding opera
tions tomorrow or first thing Thurs
day morning. He says he found con
ditions in pretty good shape, better
than he expected.
So far there have been no activities
on the Barnes farm at Glyndon, but
a phone message from there this aft
ernoon said that the men were getting
the drags ready to go out on one or
two of the fields. Activities have not
yet begun on the Richards farm at
Kragnes.

Speculative Gossip.

Chicago, April Gossip on wheat
last night was mostly bearish, in fact
almost too much so, according to the
way conservative traders looked at the
market. The local crowd say no good
in buying the deferred futures so long
as the weather conditions continue IA
vorable. AS to May wheat, 1t is re-
garded as everybody's guess, and no
one seemed sure as to what it would
do, neither would they be surprised
to see 1t break 5 cents or so up 10
cents, judging from the tenor of the
talk among operators last night. Sem
timent among corn traders was not so
unanimously bullish late yesterday as
it has been for several days, although
a majority of traders are looking for
higher prices, accompanied by set
backs of Il to 1 cen from time to time.
A number of the commission houses
who have been bullish for 10 cent ad-
vance advised their customers to take
profits at above Is cents yesterday n
and many of them cleaned up hand

game not only in old papyrus, but by
actual boards and men which had
been excayated from the ruins of tho
old Egyptian cities.
Mr.. Limbrey illustrated his lecture
by means of ~water-color sketches and
photographs of draught boards and

British museum, London, and included
one which has lately been received ii

ADVICE FOR The
CORN FARMER
NORTH DAKOTA GROWER SHOULD
NOT USE SEED GROWN SOUTH
OF FoRTY-FoURTH PARALLEL
OF LATITuDE-eooD SEED is
SCARCE.
ADVICE FOR CORN FARMER
IN SEED SHORTAGE YEAR.

Use the best seed obtainable re-
CARELESS of price.
For North Dakota, Minnesota
and northern Wisconsin do not
use seed grown south of the forty
fourth parallel of latitude.
If seed will not test 100 per
cent, plant the best that can be
obtained but make allowances &C.
cordingly.
When an extra amount of seed
has been planted thinning will be
necessary.
1t is better to use seed germi-
mating only so to go per cent on
test, that is adapted to the local
ity than to use 100 per cent seed
foreign to the soil.
