RAISING NINE
FORAGE CROPS
IN SINGLE YEAR
Telegram by United Press.

Aeiesldm Dy United Press.
Milan, Italy June Bone dry and
grayeily soil farmers Of this district
harvest as many as nine forage crops
In a single years, according to state
ments made by agricultural experts
to members Of the American Commits
sion on Agricultural Cooperation to.
day The secret Of the extreme fer
tiIity Of this region lies in the system
or irrigation, which was shown to the
Americans.
In the days when Milan was a pow
erful Independent power, the victories
of the Milanese troops were celebrated
not by statues, but by the more sensi-
BILE idea Of building canals or irrigat-
ing systems AS a consequence the
country about this city is honeyeomb-
ed with irrigation bitches. About 20
years ago a plant was erected by the
government to carry the sewage Of
the city into these bitches From the
main canals the sewage charged water
is carried through the irrlgating
bitches into the fields
This water spreads thinly over the
fields and since it has a comparative
ly high temperature the fields are
kept green and productive for all ex-
eept about forty days Of the year de-
sRte the fact that the winters are
comparatively severe. The heavy for
age crop which this system makes
possible is responsible for the great
development Of the dairy industry Of
this district Large quantities of
cheese and condensed milk are export
ed each year to countries which have
better natural facilities for dairy pro
ducts than the country about Milan.
Even the street sweeplngs Of the
city are used to increase the produc-
tiRfty Of the neighboring farms. Bones
and other refuse matter Of a similar
character are used in the manufac-
ture Of fertilizers, and the manure is
sold to the farmers engaged in exten-
siye agriculture, principally in raising
worms. The fertilizer sales are insult
ficient to meet the expense Of operat.
ing the system The cost balance is
made up through taxes.
Abundant labor is needed to obtain
the agricultural results which the sta.
tistics Of this district show. But pro
gressive methods are also depended /
upon. American farm machinery is (
frequently seen by the American Wis
itors to northern Italy. Where such I
intensive cultivation is practiced it is
to use large quantities Of
and manure. To the south
1f Milan where most Of the irrigated
allds are situated the farms are about
l5O acres The principal industry of
.hese farms is dairying. the herds av,
araging from 100 to 150 cows. The
milk is used in cheese making chiefly.
The American commissioners were
shown some excellent types Of cooper
tive dairies which are peculiarly fit n
ed to the type Of farmer in that dis \
rict who can not profitably make his
'utter and market his produce alone 4
Is his farming is on too small scale
The fact must not be lost sight OF \
hat the Italian farmers are progress n
ng and that their progress is based
ipon thrift The lesson learned by II
he American commission in Italy has
'een a lesson in industry and thrift.

Teach Concentration.

Z The greatest thing that parents can
do for their children is to teach them
concentration Of the mind as soon as
their intelligence begins to bud-and
that is very early. The mind of a
child generally takes its bent long
before the school days begin The
proper education Of children begins
from the cradle. and If 1t were pur-
sued as it ought to be the mental
force Of mankind might be quadrup-

LOST Home, CASH
and STOCK IN FIRE

Valley City, N. D., April 17.-Word
reached here that E. M. Larson, a
prosperous farmer Of Daily, had lost
all Of his buildings in a fire yesterday
morning. caused, it is supposed, by a
defective chimney. The wife and
daughter were in Valley City at a hos
pital and Mr.. Larson was alone at the
time. He left the house and went to
the barn to do some chores and in a
short time noticed the house on fire.
Nothing in the house was saved and
it was with difficulty that he managed
to get the horses out of the barn be-
for 1t o o fire from the burning house.
The contents of the house were a
total loss, including all of the family
clothing and some jewelry and $58 in
money.
A considerable lot of grain was
burned as we'll as ten yearlings which
refused to leave the building although
ate liberty to do So. 1t is estimated
that the loss will be about $1,000 above
what the insurance covers.

1.-THE Nose" in Minnesota.

The Pathfinder: How did the
United States come to get that small
corner Of land which juts out from
the extreme northern boundary Of
Minnesota? History of that little
nose" which sticks put into Canada
from Minnesota and which constitutes
the n~orthernmost point of the United
States, Is very interesting. Under
the treaty of 1888 boundary between
the United States and British posses
sions was fixed. A certain point on
the Lake Of the Woods was mutually
agreed to as one starting point, this
being considered the headwaters Of
the st. Lawrence river and Great
Lakes system. AT that time it was
not known whether this point was
north or south of the forty-ninth par
allel, but it was known to be close to
it. Understanding was that from that
point the boundary should go north
Or south to the forty-ninth parallel as
the case might be. Later and more
accurate. surveys showed that point
was about twenty-five miles north Of

N. D.. Man FINED
FOR SNORING IN
OMAHA COURT

Omaha, April 17.-George Jones Of
Balfour. N. D.. went to sleep in police
court here yesterday, snored too loudly
and was fined SO and costs by Judge
Foster, the charge being contempt of
court. Jones dropped nto the court
apparently to watch proceedings. He
sat in the seat with nearly 100 others
to see what would happen to those
caught in the restaurant raids of last
night.
When the court session was nearly
concluded, the peace OF the room was
suddenly disturbed by a loud and long
snore. This was followed by another
and yet another.
Sergeant Glover, bailiff Of the court,
went into the audience, grabbed Jones
by the collar and brought him before
Judge Foster. Jones explained he had
been up late last night, but this did
not save him from a SO fine, which
he paid.

DISAPPEARED
FROM FREIGEI
Feared N. P. Brakeman Fell
Into River
Resident Of Jamestown Can't
Be Found

! Bismarck, N. D., April 17.-Up to
this afternoon there had been no trace
found Of Brakeman Rutherford who
disappeared from a freight train be-
tween here and Mandan yesterday aft
ernoon. The young man was on the
train when it left the station here,
but was mot to be found when the
train pulled into the terminal at Man
dan A searching party was at once
sent out and spent the entire night
and until late in the morning making
a search along the track for the body
or any trace of it. Some hold the
. theory that he was brushed off the
top Of a car while crossing the bridge
over the Missouri river and If that is
the case and the body is in the river
it viii never be recovered as persons
falling into the Missouri at this point
never have been known to come to the
top again. Rutherford was a resident
of jamestown, where he lived with. his
parents.
