Planting Sugar Cans.

Sugar cane is planted, 0 sown. A
small piece of the cane, long enough
to include two or three of the rings,
or nodes, is laid lengthwise, or stuck
in a slanting direction, along a fur
row which runs the length of the
field. In some sections the primitive
fashion of planting in holes is still EN-.
ployed. When the trench is planted
the pieces Of ane are lightly covered
with earth. In a few weeks they show
growth above the ground, the germ
buds at the rings having begun to
shoot out in the form of young cane,
the ring having at the same time
thrown OF rootlets into the soil. The
parallel trenches are made far enough
apart, say at least three feet, to en-
able the workers, when the wide.
spreading canes are getting ripe, to
go between the rows and remove the
dying leaves which burden the ripen'
ing cane, thereby enabling the naked
cane to mature faster.

Million Bushsl Crop.

Bowman.-This territory adjacent to
the Milwaukee road west to Marmarth
and east to Reeder, will market A.
100000 bushels of grain this year.
about o%ne-fourth OF which will be
handled from Bowman, is the conserv-
alive estimate of the current issue Of
the Bowman Citizen. In collecting
and arranging this data, the crop fig
ures for 1912 are used as a basis for
calculations. That year 700, 600 bush
els of grain were marketed at this
station, and this year the conservative
estimate placed al twice the yield per
acre in 1912 with an equal acreage in
crop this year. From estimates fur
nished by farmers all through this Sec
ton, there is every Indication that
wheat will average generally % bush
els per acre, oats 60 bushels, rye %,
fax Is and barley 40. Estimates on
corn, of which there will be a large
acreage this year, have not yet been
made up, the season not being far
enough advanced yet to warrant a
forecast, but with a late fall and warm
weather from now on this crop will
yield heavily.

HAS BATTLE WITH TRAMP.
Marion Man Wins Bout and Saves His
Clothes.


Marion.-Eugene Griffin, a Marion
man, had a thrilling adventure with a
tramp while bathing at a dam on a
farm some miles from town. The ho-
DO was an interested spectator, while
Griffin and his dog enjoyed a plunge
in the water. When they emerged

fin, which was refused by the latter.
While Griffin was donning his cloth
ing, the tramp attacked him with a
club, striking him a hard blow. With
only his underclothing on Griffin took
a sprint to a safer location. The tramp
then drew a knife and took possession
of Griffin's clothing. Not being prop
erly clothed to go for assistance. Grif-
fin seized a whisky bottle. the proper
ty of the tramp, and struck the tramp
so hard a blow over the head with it
that the bottle was dashed to pieces
and The tramp was severely cut. Grit
fin took advantage OF this TO seize the
remainder OF his clothing and make
his escape.

GOES THROUGH THE MOTIONS
But Smokers win Wonder How That
Tobaccoless Pipe Must Taste
to Him.

NJ. Maeterlinck is among those who
have freed themselves from the bond
age of tobacco by means of a curious
a~rtifice. According to his b~iographer.
NJ. Gerard Harry, without the help
of tobacco he seemed incapable of re.
ceiving inspiration or crystallizing 1t
in words. II he has not overcome the
need, he has outfianked it. Smoking.
he noticed. had lost its virtue as "a
stimulant, and instead of rousing the
brain to activity, as at first. had come
to disturb its functions; SO now. in
lieu OF ordinary tobacco. he fills his
bowl with a denicotinized preparation.
tasteless indeed. but harmless. His
pipe is still always alight when the
pen is busy. but it is hardly more now
than a mere subterfuge intended TO
cheat and so satisfy an irresistible
mechanical craving."-London Chron'

Fat Steers Stolen?

Summit.-Twelve head of fat steers
have disappeared from pastures in the
vicinity Of Summit within the past
week. In each instance the wires were
all up, and there was apparently no
place at which the cattle could have
escaped of their own accord. The
hills in this section of the state offer
good places for hiding if cattle rus
tiers are operating hereabout, and the
men who have lost cattle suspect they
were stolen.

WOULD NEED 2e4 SUBMARINES
Germans Would Require That Num-
Der to E~feetualIy Blockade
All British Ports.

Assuming that the German subma-
rines are based at ~Zeebrugge. the time
required for the passage TO and from
blockading stations off the ports OF
Great Britain would be about four
days. The average time necessary for
overhauling at the base between trips
may be estimated at six days, and the
time which may be spent at sea be-
tween visits to the base cannot well
exceed twenty days. Consequently it
would be impracticahle TO maintain
more than about half Of the total force
of submarines on blockading stations,
There are forty-nine ports on the
coasts Of England. Scotland and
Wales which it would be necessary for
the German submarines to blockade IL
all supplies are to be cut off.
An effective blockade of any port
could scarcely be maintained in the
face of defensive operations. which
must be expected, with less than three
submarines, and double that number
would be non too many. II the min
imum number OF three boats be al,
lowed for each port. the Germans
would require at least 147 constantly
on station to close all the ports OF
Great Britain; that is, allowing for the
necessary passage time to and from
the base and the essential overhaul.
