Thought He Knew Him.

A laborer was engaged in the
grounds of an asylum and received
instructions to pay no attention
whatever to the remarks of the pa
tents.
Some little time after he COM
menced to work the governor of the
asylum, a we'll known doctor, look
ing at the progress of the work,
mildly suggested n alteration.
The workman dug steadily on and
never lifted his head.
The doctor raised his voice, but
the man, without answering, went
on digging theoretically. The doc
tor threatened, stormed and finally
Numbered out:
"Do you know who ] ann"
The iaborer Strengthened his back,
looked at him a minute and, shak-
ing his head, s%orrowfully exclaimed
"Poor chap! | am sorry for ye,'
and went on calmly with his work

Punishment from the City of Miller;
and
Whereas such ordinance can have
little effect in serving its purpose
without the earnest and active SUP
port of the people. and particularly
of the householders of the city;
1t is earnestly recommended that
an active, vigilant and early cam
paign be commenced and waged
against this pest;
That a thorough cleaning up and
sanitary treatment be given to all
places which are or may beco ne his
breeding places; that there be a
garbage can, and a general and
early use Of the covered garbage
can, and a general and liberal use of

struction of one fly in April is equi-
valent to the destruction of many
thousands in June.

WILLIAM MANNING
DIES FROM INJURY

William Newton Manning, twenty
one years of age, a brakeman in
charge of switching crew in the
&. N. yards at Great Falls. died al
most instantly after receiving in
juries at about $3.50 OH the morning
of the 2sth of September.
William Manning is a brother of
Jack Manning, formerly we'll known
in this city. Mrs. Jack Manning,
who has been visiting at the home of
her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Z. F. Sui
Ivan, left on Monday for Great Falls
to be in attendance at the funeral.
She was accompanied by her daught-
er, Doris.
The coroner's jury impaneled to
inquire into the circumstances lead.
ing to the death of the young man,
rendered a decision on Tuesday in
which they stated that they did not
consider the Great Northern railway
company blameless, because of the
fact that pile Of stone lay near
where he met his death and it is not
improbable that he stumbled over it
in trying to make coupling. Nu-
merous other refuse lying about the
yards was cited before the jury as ev-
idence upon which the company was
declared to have been negligent.

the proceeds they have paid eight
dollars on last year benevolence aud
ten dollars on the pastors salary.
The people at Straw are ordering a
fine seyenty-tive dollar Epworth or
gan. which will be installed within
the month. The instrument il
beautiful one and will greatly aid in
the excellent music furnished at that
place. Cash in full was sent with
the order, which Is a matter of no
small Importance. Of course the
Ladies Aid Society is to be credited
for practically the whole of this piece
of work. We congratulate them.

MAIN PRINCIPLES
OF CULTIVATION
Conservation Of Soil Moisture
First in Value.
ACT PROMPTLY AFTER RAINS

AS one purpose of cultivation is to
destroy the weeds the cultivating
should be undertaken when the weeds
are small, before they have thrown
out more than two or three leaves.
Another value to be gained by culti-
walton is the increase of fertility In
the formation of nitrates by bacteria.
Cultivation for this purpose should
be undertaken during the early period
of the plants growth, and such cu!.
tivation should be relatively deep, say
two and one-half to four inches.
The third and main necessity for
the cultivation of crops is the con-
servation of soil moisture. Soil mois.
ture should be conserved as soon as
possible after heavy rains. The main
cultivation Of the crop should be In
June, during the early growing portion
of the season, at the time of the heav.
lest rains.
We will suppose that from the rains
of May q quantity of water has been
stored in the soil. This water will
approach near the surface of the
ground, but it will be held in the soil
provided a soil mulch is formed. 1t
now requires but slight rain to form
capillary water between the stored
water and the surface Of the ground.
After the ground is wetted, from the
surface tn where the water is stored,
it takes but very few drying days
for a comparatively large quantity of
water to escape so that the soil may
be drier within say thirty-six hours
after a light rain than it was previous
to the rain, or than it would have been
had no rain occurred.
Later in the season, when the period
between rains is longer, deeper lay
er Of dry soil is naturally formed near
the surface of the ground, with a
consequent more efficient mulch. In
such cases light showers may not act
injuriously in abstracting the stored
water of the deeper layers. 1t is we'll
known in the semi-arid regions that II
the crop has a relative abundance OF
stored moisture upon which to draw
it can pass through comparatively
long periods of drouth without much
injury. 1t should not be forgotten that
the cultivation of the crop in June pro
vides for the storing OF moisture which
will carry it over the drouthy periods
of the growing season.
All cultivation for the purpose o
storing moisture and increasing fer
tility should be as level as other con
ditions permit. Soil which Is LET
rough dries out more rapidly. ]
ohnu1d mt ho f0rpotten Also tina
where the soil is left rough the fer
tility of the increased amount of tn
dry soil is lost to the plant, for whe1
the soil is dry fertility is not avail
able.
