THE /, C. FRANCE FARM

Every community needs more set
tiers like II. c. France from north
east Of Belfeld. Mr.. France came to
Stark county from Iowa four years
ago. He had farmed back east and
knew the worth of stock to any
farming community.
Eight cows, including a few heifers,
are being MIXED at the France farm,
and the cream was brought to the
Dickinson Creamery Co. last Friday
and tested for butter fat. The result
was a 5 per cent average for the
eight head, with per cent as the
high mark, which is the best test
ever shown at the local creamery so
far as known.
Mr.. France has been breeding pure
bred Jersey stock mostly at his
place, selling the surplus stock for
breeding purposes. At present he
has about everything disposed of
with the exception of male calf. He
recently shipped in several head of
Gurnsey high grade cattle from Wis
consin, with the idea of crossing them
with his Jersey stock, thus getting a
stronger type Of cows for this
country. He does not expect to get
cows quite up to the Jersey type for
butter fat purposes but they will be
a little more hardy and will also be
better for beef purposes. =
Raising pure bred Duroc Jersey
hogs is also receiving special atten-
ton at this farm. Mr.. France sells
his breeding pigs at six months of
age and gets good prices. He usu-
ally has from rs to 125 on hand and
therefore is able to supply almost
any demand. Pastures are provided
in which rape and barley are grown
for the swine. This year field of
Vetch was started. It grows high
and is claimed to be one of the best
things that can be grown in the hog
pasture.
A high grade of Percheron horses
are also kept on the France farm
and every season sees crop of seven
or eight colts.
Mr.. France is having good success
with alfalfa, cutting ton and a half
to the acre from field seeded two
years ago. He also finds clover a
fine crop for this country.
Mrs. France has the hen business
on this 2,000-acre farm, raising full
blooded Rhode Island Reds. Four
hundred chickens were raised this
year, and about 300 fowls will be
carried through the winter. The
rullets will commence to lay in Sep
tember and will keep it up through
the winter.
The farm is watered by Green
river. So far about a third Of the
place has been put under fence.
What grain is raised on the France
farm is mostly fed to the stock on
the place.

The last eight only shot in all reg
ular events one day. Several others
shot for targets only, no account of
scores at hand. .t, 80
The. special events were very in-
teresting. Each day two double
events were held as well as "Snipe
Shoots" and "Miss and Outs" "The
double events were won both days by
Dr.. FL. =. Saylor of Cogswell. The
Snipe shoot was won the first day by
M. r. Hall. The miss and out the
first day was won by Louis Petricka;
his run was ;19 birds. The miss and
out was won the second day by J. J.
Engelbrecht, his run was 22 birds.
Many of the visitors were heard to
remark that the best Gun Club tour
nament in North Dakota was held at
Dickinson this week. .. . ,.

CONCERNING THE BATTLE

History tells us that the Sully. mill
tary expedition reached a point on
Heart river (not far from the Under
hill farm) on July 24th, 1864. The
,emigrant train Of 260 wagons was
here corralled and on the 26th a
large part Of Sully's command start
ed in a. northwes esterly direction for
Kildeer mountains, distance of
about rs miles. On the 28th at
about 10 a. m. the command came in
sight Of the Indians. This was near
the present site Of the Diamond c
ranch.
"a military man has given the fol-
lowing account of the. battle:
"Our forces were mostly. dismount-
ed and thrown forward deployed as
slxifmishers, one-fourth Of each dis
mounted company leading the horses
of the others. These led horses, with
the train, followed near, the center of
the line Of battle. Heavy reserves Of
cavalry were held on either flank,
and the batteries, with three COM
panies of cavalry as support, marched
near, the center. These Indians, who
are wild and untamed, sWarmed on
every side on their fleet little ponies
in their gaudy ornaments and paint,
with shield and lance, as well as more
formidable weapons, i dashed wildly
together or dispersed on signals
from chiefs. But the whistle Of the
long rifle and the fate Of many
Of their number, taught them that the
white man had weapon far super
.;or to any he had yet sold to them.
"Time and again was the eagle
plumed baton Of the chief waved as
a signal for concentration; then a
dash would be made that was fol-
flowed by an equally rapid retreat,
in which they would be severly pun
[ished, having inflicted but little in
| jury. One large party passed
made enae ds sGyen en & he hga tam sfoua
rear. piece Of artillery, under
command Of Lieut.. Whipple, and a
company Of cavalry were Instantly
ordered in motion, and the first shell
killed FIVE men and ponies, three of
whom were literally torn in pieces.
The right flank being threatened by
a large body OF Indians, Maj. Brad
ley was ordered sto charge with his
battalion, which he did in good style,
pursuing them about one and a half
miles and dispensing them with a loss
of three men killed, seven wounded,
and sixteen horses, twenty-seven In
dians being found dead on the
ground, all Of whom were killed by
the sabre alone. .s. s-z-s s$,s,
+ All the troups acted well without
a sign Of flinching and at sunset the
following evening not a solitary In
dian could be seen on the field of
Tah-kah-o-kut s.

THE ANNIVERSARY S. :. +:
CELEBRATION At
E|L|DEER |N|TS,

The hftieth anniversary OF the
great Kildeer battle will. be celebrat-
ed at Oakdale Tuesday, July 28th.
This historical expe edition will be in
the form Of big basket picnic and
q good program lis assured those who,
attend. The races, ball game and
other sports will be held just west Of.
Oakdale on the grounds where the
cold Settlers" picniced last summer.
Curator H. g. Fish returned to
Bismarck July 9th from the Kildeers
where he was consulting the local
committee, Messrs. Curry, Cuskelly
and Richards concerning the event.
This battle took place near Oakdsle,
on the Diamond G ranch, owned by,
w. L. Richards Of Dickinson. The
great spring which supplied the 1000
teepee of the Sioux, supplies the
ranch and the ranch house with the.
purest of water.
The old trails where the Indians
disappeared over into the breaks be-
syond the mountains are very plain to-
day. That MYSTERIOUS cavern which
breathes forth a continuous stream
Of cool air and which was reverenced
by the Indians is there on top Of
the mountains. g 80 zs s.
81 Dead Mans Gulch is so. deep that
the highest tops Of the elms just
throw their tips to the sun, is there
and no doubt contains many remains
of the Indian dead of fifty years ago.
Those great oak and elm and birch
so often spoken Of by the leg weary
soldier Of fifty years ago still shade
the tired man and make the noun
tains beautiful beyond description.
And that great pile Of white lime
stone rock covered with trees, bushes,
grass creeping cedar looms up 500
have not changed very much in fifty
years" The Kildeer mountain is a
beautiful place. Y .s.::sz :.
The mountains are As miles north
of Dickinson and lie in a very rich
agricultural country.
There were only two men killed in
and Horatio Austin. The govern

where the picnic will be held and it
! placed ON 18th. They were
shipped to Dickinson last fall and Mr.
Richards transpo ported them to the

The battle of the Kildeer is: con-
sidered BY the historian as the big
gest battle ever fought between the
white soldier and the Indian. There
were from 10000 to $4,000 Indians
camping on the slopes of the Kildeer

ONE MANS OPINIONS

and since then have made it more
or less my Day. Book. am grateful
toSyou for putting out paper that is
a great improvement over the adver-
tisers' bulletins published in the
loop.
have been reading the Tribune for
20 years and have seen the men and
things it attacks grow fat and -four
ish. It has bemoaned the evils of the
loop, and the evils of the loop grow
apace.
The Day Book is very satisfactory
to me because in several cases l have
sentpeople with stories to you and l
have noticed that you publish the
stories TRUTHFULLY without ex-
aggeration. Hence believe all your
stories.
i agree with you that the city
should take over the Automatic tele-
phone because it is entitled to, and
because it could then give us better
telephone service than we now get at
a lower rate.
agree with you that the only way
to improve transportation service is
to scatter the overcrowded loop and
build up all parts of Chicago alike.
Let each ward become a municipal
center.
lam not sure that the labor unions
are doing for the working people
more than the churches, because
have spent great deal of time
among the working people and have
done some sociological work, and
found in it that the most useful peo-
pie in settlement and social work are
members of evangelical churches
who gained their Inspiration to treat
the poor as brothers and sisters be-
cause they had learned in their
church that God was their Father
and therefore all men were their
brothers.

menians, disciples of Confucius and
with men who deny any regard for

manity.
1 think the labor unions need more
religion. The flerceness of industrial
warfare has forced them sometimes
to emphasize their rights and neglect
their duties. My experience has been
that if we would gain our RIGHTS
we must do our DUTIES. This is
merely the Golden Rule in another
form.
| should like to see the unions take
hold of store and make it co-opera-
tive, sell honest goods, pay fair wages
and be a concrete, living illustration
OF the Golden Rule at work. Such an
enterprise on State street would do a
great deal to improve conditions in
all the stores, should think that
union labor could finance and sup
port such an enterprise. You, of
course, know that the workingmen of
England and Belgium have a great
deal OF cooperative enterprise.
Good luck to you and more power
to your hand and heart and brain.

Test Your Seed Corn.

In spite Of all the agitation about
testing seed corn there are literally
thousands of acres planted with dead or
weak corn every year. Less than half
the farmers of the great corn belt make
any attempt to get rid of the weak and
dead ears in their seed. Many are con-
tent to take one hundred kernels from
as many ears, or from the seed corn
after it is shelled, and if eighty-fye or
ninety per cent of these kernels grow
they plant the seed and feel that it is
all right.
Are you one of the men who are con-
tent to plant one-tenth or one-seVenth
Of your land with dead corn? II so, this
is not for you. We are talking to the
men who want every acre and every hill
to produce crop.
During the stormy days of February
and early part of March is the time to
get rid of the ears which, If planted,
will produce bare spots in your corn
field.
IL for each days time spent in testing
you succeed in throwing out one dead
or weak ear, you have earned fair wage.
When corn yields sixty bushels to the
acre, each ear of seed produces at least
four bushels Of corn At 80 cents a
bushel this is worth 81. 1t takes but
very little time to test few kernels
from each ear and know that you are
planting corn which will produce strong
sprouts.
II your landlord added So an acre rent
to your cornfied you would revolt; but
many are taxing that much to them
selves by careless seed selection Kick
Yourself, then.

Merchants Met Tuesday.

The Watertown Business Mems assOcia-
tiOn held its regular meeting at the city
hall Tuesday evening. A communica-
tion was read from a Mr.. HenwOOd of
Angola, Ind, who offers to put general
delivery system in operation for local
grOcers, butchers and others. The as
sociation is only few months old and
already has the ratings Of 1907 persons,
the number of ratings being $500.
Mr.. M. Slattery, state secretary of the
association gave an interesting talk on
what the association has done in secur-
ing legislation favorable to the mer-
chants and in preventing unfavorable
legislation He stated that law was
now in force which required a man who
sold retail business to make an in
ventory of the same and give a sworn
statement of his creditors and that
notice had to be given them Of the sale.
The mail order houses are doing one
fifth of all the retail business in Ameri
ca and Mr.. Slattery stated that the best
thing for the local merchants to do to
counteract this business was for the
local merchant to use the advertising
columns of the home newspapers. The
meeting was enthusiastic and all present
enjoyed the talk by Mr.. Slattery.

The Best Advertiser.

No business man in any town should
allow newspaper published at his town
to go even one week without his name
and the business mentioned somewhere
in it's columns. This does not mean
or>even quarter page add in every issue
of the paper, but your name and business
should be able to tell just what business
is represented in town by looking at
the business lineup in the local paper.
This is the best possible town adver-
tiser, and if carried out newspapers
in small places would not find it neces-
sary to accept outside advertising in
order to help meet expenses.-Ex.

Scarlet Fever.

Scarlet fever is prevalent. 1t is one
of the most infectious diseases. Scarlet
fever is fatal on an average of one in IL
cases. Indirectly it is responsible for a
large proportion of chronic Bright's
disease which is not fatal until adult
life. Scarlet fever is preventable
While unquestionably germ disease,
the specific germ has not, as yet, been
discovered. Scarlet fever is character
lied by sore throat and characteristic
skin rash. The onset is commonly
abrupt, There is likely to be sick head
ache, chilliness, vomiting and slightly
sore throat. 1t occurs most commonly
two to four days after contact. The
eruption usually appears within twenty
four hours of first symptoms. Any case
of sore throat accompanied by rash
should be viewed with suspicion Many
severe epidemics have resulted from
cases SO mild as to pass unrecognized.
Prevention consists in early discovery
and absolute isolation of patients.
Many epidemics have been unquestion-
ably traced to dairy farm and milk
route infection. Obviously detection
and careful surveillance on the part of
the health oficar offers the anly nro-
lection from this source of danger.
Quarantine should never be less than
twentY-one days : frequently much
longer.
Inasmuch as scarlet fever is disease
most common during school age, is in
fectious from beginning, is due to con-
tact of victim with patient, adequate
school inspection, careful attention to
instances Of sore throat, rash, etc., offer
great promise of preventing spread and
hence individual cases of disease.
Diagnosis is frequently very difficult
for even the most skillful physicians.
In case there is any doubt as to nature,
suspicious cases should be absolutely
quarantined. School teachers and par
ents should take notice of first COM
plant of sore throat and be on guard
when scarlet fever is in the neighbor-
hood. Never mind records of school
attendance "Health before every
thing elSe.'
