THE PURE SEED CONTEST.

EG&
Prof. H. L. Bolley Of the A. c., pure
sseed commissioner Of North Dakota.
has hit on a very clever, and what
promises to be a very successful plan
to work q great improvement in the
seed grain used in North Dakota.
{ Elsewhere in this issue of The Forum
( Professor Bolley outlines the rules
and regulations of the seed contest
that will be held in Fargo. during the
Tri-State Grain Growers convention.
This contest is a big thing but it is
7 only part of the comprehensive plan
which the pure seed commissioner has
7 worked out to raise the standard of
Eseed used in this state.
The most important phase of the
Fwork was the field tests that were
made. Any farmer who had a piece Of
grain that gave promise of turning out
a clean and even yield could ask to
have the field tested. and a man was
| sent who made an examination of that
piece of grain. Then his fall. when
the grain was threshed. a sample was
sent to the pure seed laboratory here
where 1t was examined. If it came up
to a certain standard. the grain was
sacked at the farm under the superti-
sion Of a representative Of the pure
seed commissioner, and each sack was
sealed, showing it to have been tested,
and to AVE come up to a certain
standard. The buyer is thus protect
ted, but what is more important, the
better seed movement gets a big boost.
Professor Bolley means to make the
seed contest that is to be held here in
January, part of this same system. It
is not merely a place where farmers
may win prizes. The seed contestant
must have seed Of sufficient quantity.
SO that he can supply it for sale.
In some of the big corn and other
Egra1n contests, held in the past, both
in North Dakota and throughout the
nation, it has happened that the man
who won first prize for the best BUSH
eP' or the best ten ears had barely
an acre, or just enough land under
cultivation to get in under the rules of
the contest.
after the contest, when others
wanted to buy seed from this man,
they often found he had no more. He
had raised a very small amount un-
der forced and unusual conditions,
and for the sole purpose of WINNING a
prize.
This contest. however, is to be con-
dacted so that it will mean a great
distribution Of first class seed. Pro-
lessor Bolley has received splendid
encouragement and backing from seed
men M millers and others Interested
in raising the standard of grain in
North Dakota and will have a list Of
EpFizes that will insure the greatest
display of good seed ever gathered to-
gether in North Dakota.

THE BUSINESS DAIRY HERD.
IF the Herd 10 to Keep You, Cut out
the Cows You Have to Keep.

IF the Herd 10 to Keep You, Cut Out
the Cows You Have to Keep.
BY F. B. Munford. dean and direc-
tor, University Of Missouri. The
farmer is a manufacturer; he also
produces his own raw material. AS
in the cas- of the manufacturer, he in
vests capital, employs skilled labor
n makes the largest possible use of
machines by which the raw products
able products required for the food
and pleasure Of mankind.
The profits of the manufacturer very
largely depend upon the kind Of ma
chine used in the manufacturing pro-
cesses.
In the manufacturing processes con-
Quoted ON the farm the animal is the
machine and, like the manufacturer,
the profits to the farmer depend large
ly upon the efficiency of the animal
machine. There are some horses that
will eat a bushel of oats and trot a
mile in two minutes. There are other
horses that when fed the same kind
and amount of oats, hitched to the
same sulky, driven by the same driver
over the same track, will do well if
they trot a mile in four minutes. There
is no difference in the oats nor in the
driver or the track. 1t is altogether
due to the difference in the efficiency
of the two animal machines.
There are dairy COWS which when
fed a certain amount of food under
certain conditions will. produce 125
pounds of butter in a year. There are
other cows fed the same food for the
same length of time that will as east
ly produce $50 pounds Of butter in a
year. The profits from the efficient
COW are often ten times greater than
the profits from the inferior animal
in fact, the inferior animal is gener-
ally fed 1T a loss.
If it is true that one cow can be SO
much more profitable than another
cow the question is, How car we
secura the profitable COWS? There is
only n sure way, and that is by
actual test. In any herd of COWS tbs
milk Of each COW should be weighed
separately and a record kept. It will
be found that on the same food sJme
cows produce double. the milk that is
secured from Others. But the invcsti-
cation should be more thorough. =.
There Is a very great difference IN
the richness of the milk from differ
cnt COWS. The per cent of fat in milk
a easily be determined, thanks to
the invention Of the milk tester, No
daslyman can success fully prosecute
his business without a. pair Of scales
and ! milk test..r. With these two
appliances and with a good system of
records it is possible to make over an
Improbable, money losing herd of
cows into a money making herd.

themselves through the air to any Sc
lected point inland. and no surface de-
Tense would present the least OBJ
stacle. @
The summing up Of this most inter
esting article is that the nation whose
coasts r guarded by invisible sub
marine vessels and by abundant fleets
of airships need fear no attack. That
the wars of the near future--if one
should come before further advances
are made in the science Of aeronautics
will be largely fought in the air is
scarcely to be doubted; and as these
aerial weapons a be supplied at far
less cost and with greater speed than
warships or earthworks. it Is to be
expected that the earnest attention
of governments will be turned to
them. A nation whose capital and
centers Of industry are liable to be-
come the targets for aerial bombs is
10 likely to rush into a war save for
the very weightiest reasons, and then
only when every means of honorably
avoiding it has been exhausted.

SCIENCE AS P~EAcEMAkER.

In the September issue of Casters
Engineering Magazine, Henry Harri-
son Suplee had an article entitled
The Peacemakers," in which he de-
cares that the aeroplane, the SUBJ
marine, and the dirigible airshiu have
peen perfected to very nearly the de-
gree that they render war impos-
sible.
: pr. Suplee asserts that the great
capitals OF the World-Washington.
London, Berlin, and Paris-would
even now be unable to preserve their
existence against the attacks Of a fleet
of faeroplanes, and of course fleets and
armies would be useless after their
governments had been wiped out
Even the most unscientific person can
understand that it would be the
easiest thing in the world for an air
ship to soar above a city, drop explo-
siVes upon any chosen point. and es-
cape without injury. The only de-
Tense possible in such an event lies
IN an opposing fleet of airships. Guns
have been cast that are supposed to
be capable of ~disposing Of one Of these
air devils, but neither the range of
such weapons nor the accuracy of aim
has reached a point hat renders such
defense Of more than theoretical
value Already a big dirigible bal
loon has made the journey from the
northern limit of Germany to Vienna
at a speed Of fifty miles an hour while
carrying twenty-five passengers. High
up in the air, this balloon passed over
the most jealousy guarded frontiers
III the world, and every fertilization
and strategic point was under the
eyes of its passengers. In a state OF
war, Of course, there would be active
efforts to prevent anything Of this
sort, but the suggestion of air po-
lices in time of peace is secuted by
Mr.. Suplee. who says truly that one
might as well attempt to protect the
moon from the cameras of a~strono-
mers as to protect such fortresses as
Metz or Belfort from the prying eyes
OF military ayiators. There is not and
can never be any way to thoroughly
protect a large city against alta cks
from above.
In the development Of the hydro
aeroplane, MI. SupIee sees the most
potent of p~eacemakers. This machine,
which can take the air by rising from
the water or being projected from the
deck Of a battleship, renders it prac-
ticable for every war vessel to carry
a number Of these aerial fighters to
WitlsD y few score asiles Of the
erernS's coast and eIsaaee launch them.

RATTLE-HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

Mine eye have seen the glory Of the
coming Of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored;
he hath loosed the fateful lightning
of his terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
L have seen him in the watch-fres Of
a hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the
evening deWs and damps;
l can read his righteous sentence by
the dim and tlaring lamps.
His day Is marching on.
L have read the fiery gospel, writ in
FURNISHED rows of steel:
AS we deal with my Contemners, so
with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born OF woman, crush
the serpen- with his heel,
Since God is marching on"
He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never call retreat:
He is sitting out the hearts Of men be-
fore his judgment-seat:
Oh! be swift, my soul, to answer
Him! be %pubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching or.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that trans
figures you and me:
And he died to make men holy, let us
die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

MAKE TRAVEL SAFE.

Great progress is being made along
economical and political lines in the
United States. Under the commission
form of government, cities are being
better governed, and his form Of
municipal government is spreading,
may be applied to state legislatures in
the not far distant future.
There have been many other i'm
provements lately. With the passing
Of the old caucus system. and it's re-
placement with the direct primary,
politics has lost much of its old time
unsavory odor. Progressiveness is IN
the air-and don't make the mistake
of thinking it is merely a passing fad
these reforms have come to stay.
One of the most important reforms,
has been in railroad regulation. The
day when the railroads could adopt a
public be damned" policy has passed.
State laws, upheld by the highest
tribunal in the land, and the inter-
state ommerce have worked a mar
Velous change in the past decade.
There is still much to be desired,
however, and one of the most i'm
portant reforms needed is in a better
safeguarding of passenger traffic. A
dispatch to The Forum last evening
states that there is crystalizing at
Washington a sentiment to take up at
the regular session of congress in
December, the subject Of regulation
for train safety.
The democrats have proved to be
quite successful in putting through
legislation that the people want. They
have, or will have before the week is
out. lowered the tariff very material
ly. They are in a fair way to put
through a very much improved cur
rency system. They will add greatly
to their popularity, if at the December
session, they work out some compre-
hensive system for train safety.
