All the progress that has been

State is now wrapped up in the

Circular No. just issued by
the North Dakota Experiment Sta

seed corn in a year like this. 1t
has many cuts to illustrate diff
erent methods.
One busllel of corn is enough
for planting 6 to I acres. Fifteen
ears will plant AN acre. Twenty
kernels planted in the spring will
produce enough seed to plant an
acre the following year.
The corn plant puts two thirds
of its food value in the ear when
mature. If it does not have time
to form an ear much of this food
value is lost. 1t takes corn that
natures to produce ears and
home grown seed produces corn
that natures.
The big yields secured by the
boys acre yield corn contest have
all been secured from home grown
seed. From corn that has been
adapted to the soil and climate.
1t takes North Dakota grown corn
to produce big yields in North
Dakota.
100000 acres were planted to
corn this spring. If similar
acreage is put in next spring it
will take nearly one hundred
thousand bushels of we'll cured
seed corn.

ANURIC
The Newest Discovery in chemistr.

The Newest Discovery in Chemistry
This is recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the lnvalids
Hotel and Surgical Institute at But
falo, N. Y. Experiments at Dr.
Pierce's Hospital for several years
proved that there is no other elimina-
tor of uric acid that can be compared
to it.. For those easily recognized
symptoms of infiammation-as back
ache, scalding urine and frequent
urination, as we'll as sediment IN the
urine, or if uric acid in the blood has
caused rheumatism, it is simply Won
derful how surely "Anuric" acts. The
best of results are always obtained
in cases of acute rheumatism in the
joints, in gravel and grout, and invar-
iably the pains and stiffness with so
frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package of
"Anuric" manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write DIR. Pierce for free
sample. If you suspect kidney or
bladder trouble, send him sample OF
your water and describe symptoms,
DR.. Pierce's chemist will examine it,
then DR.. Pierce will report to you
without fee or charge.
NOTE:-"Anuric" is thirty-seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who act
ually wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously US
ing one box-or more in extreme cases
as "Anuric" thanks to Doctor
Pierce's achievement) is by far the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector obtainable.- Advertisement.

Turkeys Unit of Value.

In Turkey the unit of value is the
piastre. which is divided into 40 paras,
while the para is divided into aspes.
AS the piastre is worth only A cents,
the para is worth a little more than a
tenth of cent. and an aspe is worth
. trifle over one twenty-seventh of a
cent. When an American in Turkey
wants to feel rich he goes forth and
buys some 200 aspes. which he

STEEL TRAIN CARRIED F.
RECORD CARGO OF GOLD
Forty Armed Men Guarded
Fifty Millions.

New York.-A special train carrying
$5O,OO000O in treasure, One-third in
gold and twO-thirds in securities, which
had been shipped by the Bank of Eng
land from London via Halifax to this
city, arrived at the terminal of the
American Express company at Thirty
third street and Tenth avenue in sew
en- steel cars garrisoned by forty arm
ed men.
The treasure crossed the Atlantic In
a battle cruiser accompanied by flo
tilla Of torpedo boat destrOyers.
The gold, which is worth about $2O,-
100000 weighs approximately seven
ty-five TONS The cost of shipping it
to this country in the upkeep Of the
naval forces, in the elaborate guard
maintained on it's railway journey and
in loss Of interest is said to amount to
about $4,000. !:
When the armed train left Halifax
it was preceded by a pilot engine for
the purpose Of testing bridges and
trestles and to Illustrate any attempt
to wreck the treasure cars by dyna-
mite. This precaution was suggested
by the exploit of Werner Horn the
German reservist, who attempted to
blow up the st. Croix River Interna-
tional bridge ON Feb to stop ship
ments of munitions for the allies from
this country to Canada over the Cana
dian Pacific railroad.
News Of the arrival of the greatest
cargo of treasure ever carried by a
single ship did not get out Of Halifax
because of the rigOr of the British
censorship. 1t was learned, however,
that before the treasure had been land
ed one days delay ensued, for the rea-
son that Admiral Beatty had orders to
deliver the shipment directly to the
American Express company, which
had no offices Of it's own in Halifax
and was represented there by the Do
minion Express company. Admiral
Beatty cabled back for instructions
and was ordered to make the delivery
to the Dominion Express company.
In this case one days delay means a
cost of thousands of dollars. The In
terest on the valuable shipment at
per cent would be $2,73O a day, which
was lost. The cost Of keeping the feet
on the errand for an extra day and the
expense Of maintaining the express
company's train and guard was also a
heavy one. @>~'
