FAMILY DOG BIT LITTLE GIRL.
Several Stitches Necessary to Close
Wound.

The small daughter Of Chas.
Chalker of Carlton was badly bitten
by the family dog last Thursday
noon. The dog was laying in the
yard asleep, and the little girl with
a comb in her hand walked up to
him and began combing his hair
The dog being so rudely awakened,
and being Of a somewhat mean dis
position, sprang at the little child
and bit her frightfully. A wound
requiring several stitches to close
was made just in front of her right
ear as we'll as several minor cuts
and bruises on the same side of the
head. Her left arm was badly
bruised but the skin was not brok-
en- much. DR.. Wilding was called
to treat her wounds He thinks no
serious results will follow. The
child is doing nicely at present.

WATCHING RESULTS OF
THE "CHINCH BUG DAY."
Fragrant Hill Township Is Making
Fight on Pests.

Many OF the farmers Of Dickinson
county are waiting to see what re-
suits the farmers in Fragrant Hill
township have with the chinch bug
question this year. Last fall the

bug day. On that day they burned
all the grass along the roads, in
the pastures and everywhere they
could find a place that would cover
a bug. The township was cleared
of the pest and there is little doubt
but that the work of the farmers
will do some good.

Red Clover.

R. j. Paulk the past week cut
a patch of four acres of Red
Clover from which he got an
excellent yield. Red clover is
rarely planted in this section but
the crop is a valuable one both
in the forage as well as in the
fertilizing qualities.
1t is one of the best soil build
ers we have and nothing yields
more to the acre, unless it is
alfalfa. Red clover, however.
can be grown on land that will
not make alfalfa. There is hard

does not have some land on 1t
that will not grow red clover.

and a half to the acre from his
first cutting. With favorable
weather he should get two more
good cuttings this year. Be
