Kept in mind that progress in any IN.
dustry is dependent upon the individ-
ual. This is especially true in agri-
culture, where the unit group en-
gagged in production consists usually
OF a family and an employe. seldom
two employees. Hence the plan OF
work has been based on personal con-
tract with the individual who is actu-
ally engaged in production.
The plan of work as formulated
consists Of demonstrations which will
illustrate certain agricultural facts as
they apply to the locality. eliminating
finally, in a general advisory work In
regard TO the management Of the
which may exist. The work NAV be
broadly classified as. first. field demon
strations: second, live stock demon
STATIONS; third, farm management
advisory work.
Field Demonstrations.
Field demonstrations have been in
stituted in the following forms:
(a) Demonstration plats. areas Of
sWenty to $50 acres on which a rota-
ton has been adopted involving
methods Of culture, and tillage, thai
are applicable to the local conditions.
(bl Demonstration fields. areas Of
one-third to several acres on which
the growing Of new and special crops
is demonstrated.
(c) Demonstration farms. in which
the farm as a whole, including its
livestock and all it's operations is used
to demonstrate the application Of
modern agricultural knowledge.
Livestock Demonstrations.
The demonstrations in livestock
consist in assistance in compounding
rations; the breeding. selection. or
methods OF care Of the various classes
of stock now found in the state.
Advisory Farm Management Work.
Farmers In districts where work is
carried ON find hat with the Develop
ment of the specific field and live.
stock demonstrations there is need for
farther information in regard to the
development Of the farm as a unit or
in the solving Of some particular prob.
lem which may not be definitely cor.
nected with the demonstrations az
given. Hence, there arises a demand
for forms of advisory work which
shall deal with the specific problems
at hand on the individual farm. This
form Of work is born VI II the con-
fidence that has developed from
through systems of demonstration and
will eventually be found most useful
to the community and the state, al
though it must first be based upon
careful demonstration work which

POLITICAL WAR MAP.

Assistant State Engineer Completes
New Map of State.
Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 2.-Assistant
State Engineer J. W. Bliss has just
completed what is termed a political
war map of the state. It outlines the
counties in light line, with the legis-
lative districts in heavier line. The
names Of the senator and the repre-
sentatives are written in each dis
trict. and the only towns shown are
those at which the legislators reside.
The numbers Of the districts are quite
large and the map as a whole is quite
comprehensive. They are to be used
by the legislature and will be a great
convenience to those who have oc-
casion to consult them.

A brief portion Of the service ,va =

A brief portion of the service was
devoted to appreciations, in reading
and song, of that noble woman whose
works will live down through the age
inspiring hundreds of thousands to
carry out her teachings. Today her
name is spoken of in greatest rever-
ence the world over. Surely when a
name has in this day of changing
ideals and fleeting ambitions, with
stood the test of time for fifteen
years, the power of its influence is
beyond question.
The principal part of last night s
service was devoted as Miss Willard
would have had it devoted, to the plans
for and necessity of carrying on the
work for which the w. C. I. U. is
formed.
To this end Rev. Mr.. Crozier gave
an address on the church and sa-
looms, comparing their essential fea-
lures, ideals, influences and finished
products, Rev. Mr.. McKelvay spoke
en- Morals and the Saloon, and Rev.
Mr.. Vermillion on. the Saloon in Poll
tics. AS the reverend gentleman is
evidently an experienced politician he
was able to give save advice quite
different than is usually given from
the pulpit regarding the question on
which he spoke.

DISTRIBUTION OF
SOUTHERN PACIFIC STOCK

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 24.-The divorce
Of the Hartman railroads, as de-
creed by the supreme court Of the
United States, was brought a step
nearing its accomplishment today,
when attorneys representing the rail-
reads and the government appeared
before the United States circuit court
judges in this city and argued in sup
port of the plan for the distribution Of
Southern Pacific stock held by the Un-
ion Pacific railroad. The plan, as al
ready announced, allows stockholders
in the Union Pacific to subscribe for
one share in the Southern Pacific for
every four shares of Union Pacific
stock they hold. A syndicate headed
by Kuhn, Loeb and company Of New
York has been formed to subscribe
all stock not taken over by share
holders in the two roads. The Union
Pacific will take over the Central Pa
cific, from Ogden to San Francisco,
if the plan is approved by the court.

A set of false teeth that were worn
by Washington are preserved in the
nationa! museum at Washington. One
is surprised when one examines them
to find that there is no trade mark
or other sign upon them to indicate
that they were "made in Germany"
If all the men and boy who have
been named for George Washington
could be drilled and armed and gath
cred into cohesive force they could
whip any army in the world.
Washington was the richest man
in America when he retired from
public office, and large majority of
the office holders who have followed
him seem to have had desire to claim
the same distinction.
The Father of his Country possess
ed small ability as a public speaker.
When it was necessary for him to
deliver an address he read it from
manuscript and became so nervous
that he could hardly keep the pages
from eluding his grasp. He never
had the advantage of early practice at
a high school commencement.
Some men think that inability to
sign their names so that they may
be deciphered is an indication of great
ness Washington does not appear
to have regarded that as an infallible
sign.
When Washington was candidate
for the presidency there were many
people who feared that he would upset
business and wreck the government
owing to his inexperience as chief
magistrate. He insisted, however
that it would be impossible to have u

| somewhere.
We have no proof that Washington
ever rolled cigarette or tasted grape
fruit, or bought on margins or hat

write play or attempted TO become
fiddler or posed as village cut-ur
