Secrets of the Sen

There are two styles of dredges by means of which the animals and fish of the great depths are captured-the nets
 which are dragged over the bottom and those trawled just below the surface. says Popular Mechanics. The bottom dredge consists of pair of heavy iron running frames connected by one or two cross-
 bars, 12 feet in length. Fastened to this frame is a cone shaped bag 30 feet long,
 made of heavy web, the end of which is closed by a flashing. The dredge is hung over the starboard side of the ship on long boom and by means of steel cable is slowly lowered to the ocean bottom A dial indicates the number of feet of wire out, and pointer on a scale shows the strain, which often amounts to five or six tons, upon the cable When the dredge has reached the bottom the ship steams ahead at about two-thirds of a mile an hour. dragging the net over the ocean floor. It remains down for an hour or so, and is then slowly lifted to the surfact. The deepest haul which the Albatross has ever made was five and half miles. and it was IT hours from the time the dredge was first lowered until it again appeared. The net is lowed beside the ship for few minutes. then it is swung on board, the Iashings at the bottom unfastened and the con- tents dropped upon table, The ice-cold mud is carefully washed away and the specimens carried to the laboratory
 It is like opening a Christmas package for a naturalist to watch the dredge come to the surface bringing unknown treas ures from the hidden depths. Strange fish are found which carry incandescent lamps far in front of them to light their way in the inky blackness miles below the surface; others with phosphorescent spots along their sides which must glow like the portholes of a steamer at night: still others with their eyes upon long stalks or with no eyes at alL And, poor things, when released from the terrible pressure to which they have become ac- their eyes often pop from their heads and their stomachs turn inside out.

Coffee Market

New York, October 1.-The coffee mar ket continued very quiet today. Cost and freight from Brazil were unchanged and the local spot markets were more than nominal in the absence of any important business. Rios quoted at 64c and Santos As at 10hc.
 The voluntary liquidation committee of the exchange will extend it's session from one to two hours daily beginning with Monday, supposedly in anticipation of increased transactions as a result of accepting fresh buying orders and sales of December contracts reported at $500 today, comparing with 5.36c yesterday morning.

BY GEO. n. HooPLE, HoopIe, N. q.
My father and / work his farm to-
gether. Father is manager Of the
state demonstration farm for Walsh
county, established on his farm, and
1t was the superintendent of the DEM
%onstration farms, Mr.. Porter, who
started us raising alfalfa.
He had us seed the lanes between
plats to alfalfa. There is about three
acres adjoining the demonstration
farm, for which he obtained Montana
seed for US four years ago. He ship
ped dirt from the agricultural college
to inoculate with. We did not get this
field and the lanes very we'll inocu-
lated. There is still q little alfalfa in
lanes, but it does not amount to much
as it is too thin.
We cut the first field once the first
year getting about one ton per acre
of alfalfa and weeds. The second year
in two cuttings, we got about three
tons good alfalfa hay per acre. There
was very little snow on 1t the next
winter and 1t partly winter killed, and
we disked 1t a little too strong In the
spring, l think. 1t did not look very
good so we broke it and put 1t into
potatoes.
The seed was poor, having heated in
the bin. We had bought the seed and
did not know about II till the pota-
toes came UP. l do not think there
was half a stand but We got two hun
dred bushels of Irish cobblers. This
spring VIZ put 1t back into Grimm al
falfa. The spring being SO cold, we
could not get the weeds started be-
fore it was time to seed alfalfa, and
SO It is very weedy. 1t has also been
very dry here all summer. Just about
FIVE inches Of rain fell from April 1st
up to date, but we have clipped weeds
and we believe we have a good catch
OF alfalfa. We will not cut what we
put in this year for hay.-just clip the
weeds.
We put in about even acres Of
Grimm alfalfa on potato ground this
year. 1t is all good stand. We seeded
eight pounds per acre, and inoculated
with about two hundred pounds Of
dirt per acre. scattered broadcast and

The School Board

For this district is publishing a
notice to parents of pupils in
which they point out several bad
practices which need rectifying.
When children come late to school
without giving an excuse from
their parents it is the duty of such
parents to make an inquiry. Fur
Their more there is no valid reason
why children should not come on
time to their studies. This habit
is a nuisance at least, insofar as it
makes the work for the teachers
more difficult and interrupts the
entire class. As to the children
which instead of attending school
regularly stay at home half of the
time, we believe that everyone is
well acquainted with the laws
which prescribe a fine for the pa
rents of such children. Children
should stay at home in the even
ing and study instead of going to
pool halls and dances, as properly
pointed out in the notice. Such
places are decidedly detrimental
to the morals of such children and
parents having the moral welfare
of their children at heart should
keep them at home where they be-
long 1t should be borne in mind
that rearing of children common
ces at home; the parents should
help the teachers in every way.
Some people have an idea that it
is the teachers sole duty to look
after their children without Civ
,ug ohem slightest assistance, and
when something goes wrong throw
.u whole blame upon tn tea, her.
no would take more interest in
the child than the parenisg The
teacher is certainly doing his or
her share.
