Farmers in this locality are planning
to plant considerable corn this spring
and the sowing of great deal of tame
grasses is predicted This is as it should
be as it means more stock. The next
thing is the sllo of which great deal is
being discussed. Livery farmer, no mat
ter what his circumstances, should have
a slo that would hold from 20 to 100
acres of corn and should have cattle to
consume the fodder.
There is all the reason why the thresh-
ermen Of Cavalier county should organ
ize. The threshing business is coming
to such stage here in North Dakota
that the threshermen should have
some understanding among themselves.
Each township should have its local
thresher club. These township clubs
should organize a county organization.
This should be done in every county in
the state and finally organize a state
threshermen's association, the same as
may be found in Wisconsin, Michigan
Iowa, and other. states. Why is North
Nlakota behind in this matter? | am
thresherman myself and | believe I can
see great deal of good that would come
from such an organization. The hired
help proposition is, [ believe, our great
est trouble today. This could be greatly
eliminated if the threshermen would
understand each other and adopt some
rules and regulations IN regard to labor.
In hundred and one ways the thresh-
efmen could help one another by organ
izing, Let some one start a club
in each sownship so we can have a coun-
ty meeting before the threshing season
starts this fall

Barhers Most in Demand

From the New York Times.
 The labor market has steadier demand for lahorers than for men of any other trade, according to an alysls made by the Russell Sage Foundation of figures given by the 12th census for cities of b0000 or more inhabitants. In practically every one of these cities there are about three bar bers to every 1000 persons. New York rJrz well over the average. according ts'estiz mates made by the oourneymen- isarbers union, which computes that in tho five boroughs there arc in all about 22.oco na,- bers. or, roughly, four to every 100o.
 There are 20 callings for men and seven for women. which average one member to every 1000 population, and some of the occupations that one is apt to think of as having most followers are not in the list. Butchers. physicians, lawyers. clergymen. and dentists do not come into the 20. but printers. plumbers and bakers do.
 The women's ooupations for which there is most demand are those spf thel servant, dressmaker. teacher. safoewo- man, laundress, nurse and houselSeepe4. Tn almost all lines the demand Is very d. ferent in different cities. hut for the bar bers the average of to 1000 holds almost everywhere outside of New York.

Tor school gardening. reported in bulle- tin the Mississippi success: ,Throughout the entire south the lack of thrift has been found particularly conspicuous in the fail ure to grow food supplies--vegetable fruit and meat--needed by the urban and rural population Therefore the statewide progress which demands market outlet for the surplus is a radical step in advance
 one promoting the thrift, happiness and prosperity of hundreds of girls The girls tomato club, organized by counties and connected with the public school system of Mississippi, raised vegetables. tomatoes, corn. squashes, beans and oabbages and canned them with the club labels which are a guarantee as to tbeir quality. Deli cacies appeared last year on farm tables unheard of in many rural families be- fore; empty shelves in the pantry were laden with vegetables and fruits for a years use. The proceeds from the sur plus paid the expenses of some girls through the agricultural high school. oth- CTS bought pianos and paid for music lessons. The gardening and canning is correlated with the regular school work, the former being carried under the d. rection of county agents. who take charge of the work after the school teachers have interested the children and organized the local clubs" Excuse the trespass upon your limited space, but I think you will agree Wltn me that the report may be lald to heart with advantage by our modern restless girl who longs for work and a career MRS.

Formula for . Rose Jar

Please print recipssin the Corner for making rose jars. READER"
 The formula is now in full season, and I give 1t despite its length because scores of girls gather roses while they may and would like to preserve the memories of rose colored hours. Gather the roses as soon as the dew ia off in the morning and drop petals by the handful into a glass or china or stonsware jar. Sprinkle plentifully with salt. Do thig daily until the jar is full or you have used up all tho petals. Turn and toss the salted petals daily to keep them from mating. When you are ready to put them up prepare the following mixture: Half an ounce each of violet powder. powdered orris root. rose powder and heliotrope. o1e-half teaspoon each of cinnamon and mase. one-quartsr teaspoon of cloves. Mix these well. then mcieton with four drops of altar of roses, four of oil of chiris. 20 of oil meIssne and the same of oil of eucalyptus, 10 drops of berga mot and two drams of al- eohoi. Shake the olInsing salty moisture from tho rose petals before stiring in the perfume and oils. Toss all iishtiy and quickly and return to the jar Cover olose- !y and keep in a dark. cool place to rripen" You may turn into fancy jars at tho end of two weeks. If kept niossiy covered 1t will retain its perfume for 20 years, If you cannot get the exact per- fumes herein named substitute something you think will do as well. But any drug s,st or Serfumer in large city can i'll out the list.
