Daddy; sBedtirne
c., The Butterfly That
- Was Beautiful
And Useful.

- SAW the most gorgeous butterflies today, daddy" said Evelyn one even
Ing. They had more coors than Solomon Or Josephs coat"
N I'm much obliged to you, Evelyn" said daddy. "You have put me
in MIND # a story. and L didn't really know what I ws going to tell
you children tonight.
"Wen, thss story is about how a butterfly brought good luck tt a little girl.
This little girl was about three years old, and shewas an only child. She
lived with her papa and mamma O. a farm out in the beautiful country, for
I thnk the country is beautiful whether it's in the summer o rim the winter.
Besides winter gives that great artist Jack Frost a opportunity to draw
funny pictures or the panes
When this story happened, however, it a in the summer, when the
grain stood up golden and tall and the birds sang and the sky a . lovely
blue 1t was early in the afternoon, and everything was 81 beautiful out Of
doors that this naughty little girl ran away, Is little girls will and little boys
too.
Her mamma was busy with the homework. IS mammas are apt to be
most Of the time, and didn't see her go. She wandered down in the field near
the house and through the tall grass and she picked the yellow buttercups
and the white daisies and listened to the breeze singing the sweetest song
that " was and by and by she found SOL little red berres-lucky they
were lot poisonous berfes-and ate them, and she vas so little that you
just see the top of her pink sunbonnet in the tall grass. and none of the
working in the field noticed her at ALL
"She went o n and O. forever so long a time till the III had begun to get
and then she came to the edge of a deep brook hidden in the tall grass
and eersO far from her home, and in another instant she would have stepped
off into it.
But just 1T that moment a beautiful butterfly flew past her; futterng to-
ward her home. She turned and followed it. Every little while it rested IN
a flower. and then it would sail away again, and it led her home. What do
you think of that? Her mother had been very much frightened and a so
glad when she told Ter she had followed the butterfly home. But her mamma
didn't know that the butterfly had saved her life"
Jack looked puzzled. But. daddy" he said, Hf the mamma didn't know
1t and the little girl didn't know it. how did you know ttT'
"Oh" said daddy, laughing. perhaps the butterfly told me-"
"Now I've got your gigged Jack. Butterflies can't talk. Daddy, that's
madeup story"

GOOD YIELDS REPORTED

this years crop Of grain in the vicin-
ity of Minot vas on in full blast last
week but Mondays heavy rain delay
ed the resumption of operations until
the latter part Of the week.
Comparatively little grain has been
marketed as yet. Thus far wheat is
yielding on an average OF from eigh-
teen to twenty bushels per acre. Much
better and poorer returns are reported
from various sections. The mea3er
marketing done so far gives averages
on oats and rye as follows:

The first wheat marketed in Minot
this season was brought to the Farm

five miles north of Minot, last Tues

The stand of late grain this year in
some sections around Minct Is not
as good as was expected earlier in the
season. However,, it is estimated that
the crop will be above the average
and will be better than last year. The
late crops did not do so we'll owing
to the lack of moisture at the right
time. The grade Of wheat generally
is of excellent quality.

about these experiments and are o

putting in alfalfa according to direc-

A good increase has been made in
the corn acreage. and many seed cora
plots are being grown.
On many farms fields have been laid
out for rotations; the following is the
most common: Corn followed by
wheat, seeded to clover and timothy
for hay the third year, followed by
flax and a grain crop, or by two grain
crops. The clover and timothy is do

Many OF the farmers are trying out
pastures for hogs. These include al
talfa, mixed grains, peas and corn; the
farmers gre finding that this is the
most satisfactory method of feeding
the hogs. They are finding too, that
the hcgs are making splendid use Of
the corn when hOgglng is down.
1t is hard to realize the progress that

The Milwaukee News calls attention
to a fact not generally kncwE that
King Albert I. of Belgium, when a
prince, spent a long time in the Unit
ed States. He lived for a time in the
middle west and made his headquar-
tiers in st. Paul. He saw much of the
west as the guest Of James J. Hill. but
devoted his time to studying engineer
ing n doing practical ork along
this line.
The king is a big man-more than
six feet tall. He has rosy caeeks and
golden hair. He is athletic and very
fond of horseback riding: IL with all
his love Of outdoor sport he IS a good
engineer. and under his direction the

Desperate, are you, over trying to

To use knives, files, scissors and RAE

make it grow faster and bigger. It al

Finishing Cutting Soon.
The James H. Scofeld farm, ten
miles southwest of Minot, will finish
cutting in about three days. Some

P. j. McKone's farm, one-half mile

Crops in Good Shape.
Cutting has been finished on the

Rust Does Damage.
Two days more of cutting remains
to b done on the o. r. Brown farm,
six miles north of the city, and the
grain crop will not be as good as was
expected on account of rust. Wheat
is expected to go from twelve to ff-
teen bushels to the acre.
Wheat has all been cut on the
Frank Linha, sr., farm, three miles
north of Minot, and %threshing will be
started about the middle of the week.
Early wheat will go between fifteen
