regulated Conservatives are not
only necessary but absolutely in

the Wahpeton Conservatory of
Music enthusiastically supported
by an able faculty are determin-

school Of musical art a deserving
seat of learning not only worthy
of our own city but equal to those
established in the larger cities.
The foremost advantage of a

its musical atmosphere, so in

classes and lectures in Harmony.
History and dEher branches
which lie outside the scope of any

THAT col pARnEp FOND

Old Zeke Perkins sold his hogs
one day;
That gosh darn fool threw his
money away
Rode into town settin' straddle of
board,
And he came ridin' home in a
darn little Ford.
When he came to the house and
got to the gate,
He grabbed for the throttle and
he put on the brake;
Tried to pull on the lines, got the
throttle instead.
And that gol darn Ford kept a.
chuggin right ahead.
Zeke pulled the levers and cut off
the gas,
He kicked every pedal, then broke
out the glass,
He cut all the wires and he pull
led Off the top,
But the gosh dinged Ford it just
wouldn't stop.
He hauled out his knife and then
smiled serene,
Put hole in the tank and then
drained the gasoline;
He pulled out a gun and shot the
tires full of lead,
But the gol darned Ford kept "a
chuggim' right ahead.
Went through the fence and up
through the lane,
Miranda saw him comm and
thought him insane.
She ran down the road and then
stopped to see.
And the Ford struck her squarely
where the belt used to be
She reached out her arms as she
went up in the air,
just as Zeke went by she grabbed
him by the nair;
She bounced on the seat, landed
down in the bed,
And the gosh darned Ford kept
a-chuggin' right ahead.
He steered for the shed and just
missed the hole,
Struck on old sow and you ought
to see her roll.
Out in the yard then they landed
in a heap,
In a big muddy pool about six
feet deep.
Zeke grabbed Miranda and they
waded to the shore
He was glad they had stopped
and couldn't go no more.
He pricked up his ears, then
looked back and said;
'Why that gol darned Ford is a.
chuggin' right ahead

AlkAll LAND /.

8; GrandsFe Forks, Aug.s 30th-.L G.
Haney, in charge Of the Agricul-
tural Extension Department of
the International Harvester Go.
at Grand Forks returned to this
city yesterday from a trip to the
Crystal Springs Stock Farm, own.
ed by A. Stonehouse and located
between Lairmore and Grand
Forks.
An experiment with q pit silo
is being carried on at the Crystal
Springs farm and Mr.. Haney is ell
thusiastic in the belief that it will
be a great boom to the dairyman
of the state in making valuable
a large amount of waste land. He
reports that Mr.. Stonehouse is
highly. elated over the success at
tanned thus far.
The silo was constructed in the
early part of July and filled up
with sweet clover, the purpose
being to make ensilage from it.
an innovation i'm the northwest.
Sweet clover will thrive on al
kali soil and other land where
little else will grow, Mr.. Haney
points out, and if the experiment
turns out the success that is hep
ed for, il will make a vast amount
of sO-called bad land in the state
of value.
About three days before Mr..
Haney went to the Crystal Springs
farm, Mr. Stonehonse had COM
menced feeding the sweet clover
ensilage to his cows each night
after they came in from the fields
when they were not particularly
hungry. The animals ate upI
every bit Of the ensilage and ev-
cry evening following their first
feed came around earlier than
usual in order to get the choice
morsel. Mr.. Stonehouse missedj
feeding the ensilage to the cows
one evening and the next day their
milk. supply showed falling off
indicating that the animals had
come to rely on the new food for
nourishment.
rms Is an excellent lndica-
ton that the new ensilage will
prove a big success, says Mr..
Haney last evening. ut is very
much like corn ensilage and ap-
parently is just as valuable"
Mr.. Stonehouse measured the
area of sweet clover cut and then
weighed the new product, show
ing that he had obtained an aver
age of Is tons of sweet clover
ensilage per acre.
Mr.. Haney states that sweet,
clover not only thrives on poor
land, but also helps to build up|
the soil. He is of the opinion
that the sweet clover scheme
marks a great step forward i'm
scientific farming and will proveI
of inestimable value to farmers
and dairymen.

1t has been noticed that Wal-

lilies this summer, and people
have remarked thereat. The rea-

addition to the agitation of sew

schools, ETC., the Housewives Lea
que has greatly helped bring
about this happy denouement.
The one matter of garbage dis

Praises BUILDING

"A day OF two later a party told
me to visit the North Dakota
building as there was something
of interest to see. The building
and exhibits We're in charge of
VIM. E. Holbein. And say, there
was a building of ample size and
all the exhibits from the state
were here on display. Mr.. Hol-
bein introduced me to Mr.. John
Freyberger of La Moure, N. d.,
and l had full hour chat with
him. He not only arranged the
grain and the grasses, but COL
lected then himself. There was
not only the produce on display,
but in sacks and i'm bins. A farm
er wants to get his hands on the
grain and corn, and does not
care so much for the display; but
he did put a whole lot of work
on his Flower of Conn., The
pottery display made from clay
mined near the Missouri river
was fine when displayed by itself;
also it is an industry that will be
developed in time. Products can
be made, from the finest vase to
the hardest building brick. The
Ignite coal display was interest,",
ing to a Dakotan. Ignite coal
will not stand shipping-it dries
out and falls into dust. They
are now treating it by compress
ing it into briquettes about the
size and shape of cake of laund
ry soap and is fully equal to hard
coal for fuel, and the by-products
OF the process pays for the re-
ducing.
