Hillman Mystery Not Vet Solved

Sheriff Bryson Of Houlton went to Is

terest OF the Hillman case. Nothing in
the line Of new Developments were found
up to noon Saturday so far as he knew.
Deputy Guiou left with a crew Friday
and had not returned nor been heard
from UP to that time. They were over
in the vicinity OF Patten. Shinn Pond,
Moro and other places, making a thor
ough search Of the Owlesboro road which
many feel offers the best clew yet. This
warm weather makes hunting easy and
all are making the best Of the opportun-

probably remain on until spring. All

binders are, the nuts readily
work loose and require con-
stant attention.
Attention should be given to
the guards, ledger plates and Sec
tions to see that all are tight
and in proper alignment. The
sickles should give a true shear
ing cut at all points and each
section should be sharp. Note
also that the twine cutting knife
in the binding attachment is sharp
II allowed to get dull it is likely
to cause trouble.
One, Of the most important de-
velophnents Of modern grain har-
vesting is the gasoline binder en-
gine. This is so attached and
geared to the rear Of the ma
chine that it propels the entire
cutting, elevating and binding
operations, leaving only the
drawing Of the machine for the
horses to do. This devise makes
necessary but one-hadf the horse
power otherwise used. Another
and yet more important feature
of the binder engine attachment
is it's value in muddy fields. Pro-
pelling the entire operating me-
chanism, the engine leaves for
the, master or bull wheel only the
carrying Of the machine, and
even if the wheel slides in the
mud the cutting and binding goes
on just the same. Some years
the grain savedby its use would
pay for the engine and more in
a single harvest. One of the
most exasperating experiences
that farmer can have is the
cutting around wet spots in the
grain fields and the consequent
waste Of much good grain.
The binder engine is easily
detached when desired and may
be put to the ordinary small
power uses about the farm for
the balance Of the year. 1t is
splendid thing and is coming
into more general use as its
merits become better known.
All too many good horses are
needlessly sacrificed during the
harvest season. Always hurry
ing hard work and long hours it
is trying period on the horses
in any season. Some years when
the humidity Of the air runs high
the death Of horses in the har-
vest fields of the northwest is
a really awful thing. Some years
they may be counted by the hun
dreds. It is false economy to kill
horses in this way. A good horse
is worth a good lot Of grain, and
it will pay in doila1s and cents
to use them wish judgmert-to
say nothing Of tn. humane fac
tor. Water -hem frequently,

.FAKIRs HAVE THEIR EYES
ON NORTH DAKOTA

Already it is seen that the
prospective big crops of North
Dakota, with the accompanying
money which will be in circ'ala-
ton in the state, have attracted
the attention. Of those parties in
the larger cities who are always
looking for anew field in which
to exploit the people. Peddlers
with cheap goods and fake
schemes of ali kinds will abound
alnd traverse the state from end
to end in automobiles and cn
railroad trains looking for suck
ers and laying tempting bait
before people to get ready money
The experience of the past
in being bitten by those sharks
does not seem to teach the
lesson that might be expected
and every year some new game
and sleek scheme is sprung which
takes the legitimate business
away from legitimate concerns
who pay taxes and are in the
state as permanent institutions.

SUMMER FALLOW
MOISTURE SAVING

The amount of moisture that
the summer fal!ow will conserve
has usually been oyer-estimated.
Careful Investigations have been
carried on at the Edgeley, Dick
inson and Williston substations
to test out the amount Of moist
ure that could be saved by sum-
mer fallOw.
The results Of this investigation
are given IN Bulletin No. ITO of
the n d. Experiment Station.
The data shows that the average
amount of rain and snowfall st0r-
ed in the soil at the Edgeley
sub.ptation for the years 1907
to 1914 was 14A per cent, at the
Dickinson substation 20 per scent,
and at Williston 81 3-4 per cent.
This means that a little oNs :
one4fifth was as much Of I !,
moisture as could be saved j
summer following, and that lp Il
good summer fallow. It was
plowed in good season and X 1t
free from weeds or the amo>. -4ts
of moisture saved would have
been less. 1t was also found
that enough moisture could net
be stored in the soil to make a
crop without some rain duril
the growing season. The stored
moisture was found to be q help
in carrying a crop through a dry
spell.
1t also brought out in the bulle-
tin that practically all the mois-
ture that is removed from Tie
soil is taken out by plants and
that but little evaporates from
the surface. This emphasizs 8
the need Of keeping down weeen
and at the same time growing
crop. This is especially true !. = :.
