ESmond News,

Esmond, N. D., Aug. 8.-Esmond is
just completing six blocks, or 1900
feet, of new cement Or concrete side
walks, eight feet wide, with curb, to-
gether with five crosswalks. F. M.
Haas, Of Rugby was the successful
bidder for the contract for the entire
job, which is being done largely by
machinery. An Interesting feature of
the machinery is the car which carries
the mixed concrete from the mixer to
the place where the sidewalk is being
laid. It is the invention of Mr.. Patter-
son, one Of Mr.. Saas' employees, who
has applied for a patent on same. The
a runs on q small narrow-gauge
track from the mixer to the place
frame and engine are those Of AZ old
automobile, mounted on small iron
car wheels. There is a scoop or spoon
that holds about a barrel or two of
mixed concrete, so adjusted that it
will revolVe on a platform and dump
or pour in any direction. The revolv-
ing platform was taken from an old
wind-Stacker of a threshing machine,
while the dumping apparatus and lever
are from an old traction engine. The
combination is very practical and eff
fective. The a backs up to the mix
er, the spoon or scoop swings around
and takes it's load, her swings back
tosplace; the car runs along the track
to the place the concrete is wanted,
then pours its load just where wanted,
n backs up again to the mixer for
another load. The inventor acts as
engineer and driver of his novel car.

ture OF electrical storms and our read
ers should watch the news columns
for accounts Of such events.
Wheat sowing continues to be the
important feature of agriculture. Win
ter wheat is sown during the winter
months in the southern states and Of
course they will wait till after Sep
TENDER in order to sow in moist soil.
There will be an abundance of mois-
ture later on in the southern states.
In the mid latitude states the winter
wheat is sown in September OF asst of
August. 1t will be best to wait till
middle of September this year. In
some parts of the middle west very
late sowing will be best because of dry
weather till in September.
A successful wheat crop depends so
much on the nature Of the soil Of each
locality that we al not give advice in
a general letter but personal inquiries
from individual farmers who are sub
scribers to the papers in which our
work is published will always receive
attention. 1t is believed that millions
of dollars may be saved by knowing
what and when to plant and SOW.
The European war scares upset
market calculations but with war
prices out Of the way we are still of
opinion that this is not the time to sell
grain or cotton. The crops are not yet
made and our advice for this year has
been to sell nothing till the crops COM
plete their growth.
The spring wheat country will
freeze wet and that will be very en-
couraging for the next years crop.
Half the battle Is Won for the next
crop when the soil lis full Of moisture
at the fall freezing.

YOUTH KILLED
BY LIGHTNING

Berlin, N. D., Aug. S.-During the
storm Steve S~cherbinske, aged II, was
killed, and three others injured by a
bolt of lightning on the Henry J. Pic
ray farm, about eight miles southwest
Of Berlin.
Mr.. Sherbinske and his sons were
helping Mr.. Picray in the harvest field.
the barn, and were busy taking harness
off the horses Then the death bolt
struck.
The barn faces north. The first
horse in the barn on the east side
was killed. Very little damage was
done to the barn. Mr.. SCherbinske
had just removed a harness from the
fated horse, and was but a few feet
away He was struck unconscious
Steve Scherbinske, who was killed,
stood near the center of the barn. A
younger Scherbinske boy and Mr.. Pic
ray were also stricken unconscious
There were two others present, but
some of the horses were loose, and
in the excitement, Steve Scherbinske
was tread upon. However, physicians
are positive that he was struck dead
by the flash. as his body was badly
burned.
Owing to the heavy rain storm, it
was hard to get telephone onnec
tons and call physicians, who did
not arrive until after 8 o'clock. The
accident happened about 6.
Henry Picray, Mr.. SCherhinske, and
his younger son lay unconscious or
somewhat dazed all night. By morn
ing Mr.. Scherbinske was sufficiently
revived to go home. The feet and
lower part Of the limbs Of the in
jured Scherbinske boy are black, but
he may recover.
Henry Picray was quite severely
injured, and although unconscious
all night, and somewhat burned, is
coming through all right.
This tragedy almost equaled or sur
passed the terrible killing by lightning
in the same n~eighborhoOd five years
ago. Eight were sleeping in a tent on

GREEK LABORERS FORCED
TO PAY FOR The LUMBER

E~nglevaIe, N. D, Aug. 8.-A crew of
Greek laborers doing some track work
at Englevale, in the western part of
the county, stole some lumber from
the Finch Lumber Co. to make hunks
in their cars, but neglected to make
at settlement until the strong arm of
the law made it's appearance.
The thirty-eight dagoes stole ten
perfectly good boards and settled with
Sheriff Dwire Saturday for exactly SIS,
about twice What the boa1ds were
worth.
The lumber company made the COM
plaint and rather than arrest the
whole thirty-eight and bring them to
Lisbon, the sheriff got a settlement in
a hurry when he told them what was
up, and they promised to be good from
now or as long as they remain in the
confines of the county.

MAKE PROGRESS
IN DAIRYING

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 8.-That the
farmers in the Gooseneck country OF
Ward county are progressing in the
dairy business, is evident from a letter
received by Dairy Commissioner Flint

Bank of DonnybrOok.
This bank is taking much interest
in the advancement of dairy interests
among the farmers of that Vicinity
and as a boost for diversified farming,
it issues a calendar each month, bear

HARVEST HELP
IS In DEMAND

Langdon, N. D., Aug. 8.-With the
early harvest and threshing, and with
la great bulk Of the harvest coming in
a bunch, it looks as if the help propo-
sltlon this year might be quite a seri-
Gus one. While there are perhaps a
Large number of men hat plan to
Icome this ray at the usual time, and
many farmers who have friends that
helped them in former years, the fact
OF the harvest being so early has
changed the whole program, and LIS

the next two weeks. Some have not
completed their haying, and with the

PECULIAR ACTIONS OF

Wheatland. N. D., Aug. 8. - John
Johnson was the name given by a
stranger who has been wandering

strangely. 1t is thought he was a
transient laborer in this part Of the

by local officers and sem to Fargo,
where he was taken to a hospital for
treatment and observation. Nothing

Earning a Livelihood on a single
Acre.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside Charles "A. Byers writes an
interesting article in which he
shows how certain farmers in Califor-
MIA are making a comfortable living
from en- acre of ground and in some
cases from a fraction of an acre.
Following is an extract from the ar
ticle:
Sometimes a lot will be planted ex-
clusively to some one vegetable or
to marketable flowers, but in most
cases a variety of garden truck is
grown. AS an illustration, the tiller
of a half-acre lot at Monte Vista dur
ing the past season tells me that
he planted potatoes, sweet corn,
peas, three kinds of beans, cucum-
hers, melons, squash Several varie-
tles), tomatoes, sweet potatoes,
beets, carrots, onions, lettuce, and
kale. Rotation of crops is carefully
planned, and in this way the produc,
tiveness of the soil is utilized to the
greatest degree.
Many Of the farmers devote con-
siderable attention to raising chick
ems and eggs for the market, and
the milk, cream, and butter produced
by the colonies are supplied by the
Toggenburg Or Nubian goats"

a Valuable Idea.

In the course of one of his periodi-
cal letters to- owners of and prospect
i've investors in st. Elmo property,
President e. P Brady of the Allu-
vial Land Purchase Company makes
the following remarks:
During the past week the writer
paid a very pleasant visit to st. Eli
mo with a party of his friends, among
whom was Col. %. W. Crawford. In
the evening a fine meeting Of the
Producers Association, presided over
by H. Arthur Morgan, was held in
the Hermitage Hotel. At a guess, |
will say there were Is persons there,
at least one-half of them ladies. Col
Crawford delivered splendid talk
to this assemblage. | would like. to
tell you the many things he said
about the thorough cultivation OF
land necessary to produce good yields
of corn, potatoes and other crops;
| and how enthused he was over the
raising. of hogs and cattle.
He closed with little statement
which ! want to bring to your atten-
| ton. as I think it means the success
| O1 every 'A~N>NN
adopt it as a watch-word. He SAID
he was raised a Missouri farmer
10y and the battle cry OF his fathers
farm was, Go to town and bring
back some money; do not take your
money to town to spend He said it
they wanted a pair of shoes, a new
hat, some sugar or flour or such gro
ceries as they might need, they al
ways planned to take to town pro-
duce, such as potatoes, onions, CAB
bage, melons or other truck, fresh
pork, sugar cured meat, pure lard,
or dressed lamb, and sold the pro-
duce to bring in enough money to
buy what they needed and then re-
1 turned with some money in their
pockets. Their motto was never to
go to town and leave money, but take
something to town to sell and bring
back some money to the farm II
every farmer in Louisiana would
adopt this policy, in a little while
Louisiana would be one of the rich
est states in the Union. Col. CraW-
ford's speech was received with a
great deal of interest and apprecia-
ton at St. Elmo, but nothing he said
or could say can ever have as much
value as this one idea"

Newspaper Don'9s.

| Don't take your home paper. 1t is
the most active and powerful factor
in building up your town, and to sup
port it would involve you in the
| work.
Don't pay for it if you take it.
| Newspapers are run on wind, and
the editor wouldn't keep the money
anyway. He'd most likely pay it on
his bills.
Don't fail to tell the editor how to
run the paper. He has nothing to
do but to listen and keep his temper
sweet.
Don't put your name to what you
want published. It's the editors
business to espouse unpopular causes
and take your chestnuts out of the
fire. What hurts your business might
also hurt his-but that's different.
Don't notify the editor when you
change your postoffice address. He
may lose track of you and you will
escape paying the last two or three
years of your subscription.
Don't forget to write on both sides
Of the paper. The printers might
forget how to swear.
Don't write your communications
legibly. Deciphering them keeps the
editor busy and he is able to make
an occasional blunder, which promotes
good feeling all around
Don't imagine the newspaper man
has anything to do. Newspapers
print themselves and the ravens
feed the printers-Alexandria Demo
