An Old Pine Tree.

There was handsome and symmet

that tree for it was among my greatest
ambitions to do SO. [ was, however,
sternly forbidden to essay such an
undertaking and told that the tree
was not strong enough to bear even
nv slight weight
Years ago, know not how many,
perhaps twenty, this tree was felled
to make room for a business block
and I am confident it was full three
feet in diameter, while there were
Two coed lengths of mill saw-logs,

it is evident thatgit requires about one
generation and half, to "grow a

Taught w. A. Peck a Lesson.

w. A. Peck, of the Better Farming
Association, was driving by farm
not far from Minot the other day and
he noticed the owner seeding wheat
on flax ground that had grown mainly
fine crop of thistles last year. No
effort had been made to kill the weed
seeds. Mr.. ePck said to the man, who
was stranger:
II don't want to butt in here, but
I am trying to learn all can about
farming. I'd like to know what you
are doing" The owner replied, II am
sowing a bushel and a half of wheat
to the acre and don't fear these weeds
because the wheat will be so thick
that they will have no chance. By the
way, who are you?" Mr.. Peck in
formed him and he said, "Oh, you are
one of those hot air artists"
Peck was past the farm yesterday
and he saw one of the finest crops Of
Russian thistles the country has ever
grown, with not a sign Of a wheat
plant.

Many Children Will Die This Year.
Scientists tell us that the mortality
list among children will be the great
est this year in history, all on &C
count of the fact that SO many deadly
flies lived thru the last winter, which
was mild. These pests with their
germ laden feet will do the mischief
and scatter the disease that will de-
stroy SO many Of our young. Guard
against it. One Of the best ways to
do this is to refrain from throwing
garbage where the flies may subsist.
Another way is to screen your homes
carefully. Keep every fly out Of the
house. They are not only annoying,
but filthy and positively dangerous.
See us for your screens. We have
