of pulverized nitrate of ammonia, and
dissolve them all in sixty grams Of
alcohol. Pour the whole lotion in a
long and slender bottle, the top Of

rain is about to visit you the solid par

tend gradually to mount, little star
crystals forming in the liquid, which
otherwise would remain clear. Should
high winds be approaching your barom-

ABOUT EARLY SETTLERS

Schafer Record:-The majority of
the real old timers in a new country
are the best of good fellows. The
reason for this is said to be that
only those who had plenty of back
bone, bodily strength, firmness, cour-
age and GOODNESS could live in a
country where a call for help could
not be heard. In other words in
order to live in a new country a man
must be able to take care of him
self at all times. Sometimes it is diff
ficult to do this as in the case of
Louis Berkhart, an uncle of Bob
Meyers of Dickinson.
Berkhart was n of the very
first settlers at the base of Killdeer
mountain. He lived a few miles
northeast of Oakdale at what is now
the old Sperber place. In the latter
SOS Berkhart was riding horseback
down the mountain towards his home
when his horse started bucking and
fell with him over a steep bank.
When Berkhart came to he made the
discovery that both Of his legs were
broken and that he suffered a num-
Der of severe bruises. He managed
in some manner to crawl to his home
and family where he was nursed back
to health.

He feared an operation and in seek

After he had gained back his
strength he wrote:

how I was benefited by Mayr's Won
derful Remedy. I took it some time

permanent results for stomach, liver

IMPROVING POTATO VARIETIES

The tendency to develop potato grow

TO PRODUCE CLEAN MILK.

Methods Are More Important Than
Equipment For Good Results.
Prepared by New York State College Of
Agricultural
Methods are more important than
equipment in producing high grade
milk, according to a reading course les
son entitled "The Production Of Clean
Milk" recently issued by the New York
State College Of Agriculture. A man
may have an inexpensive COW stable,
but if he keeps it clean, grooms and
feeds his COWS long enough before
milking to allow the dust to settle,
wipes the cows udders with a damp
cloth before milking and handles the
milk in a sanitary way in sterilized
utensils he can produce clean milk.
These facts, so the college says, are
Of particular Importance to milk pro
ducers in the state because Of the re-
quirements Of the milk ordinance that
went into effect Jan. 1, 1915. This Or
dinance requires all milk intended for
retail delivery in any city or village to
be graded according to the health of
cows, the sanitary condition in the
dairy barn and in the milkhouse, as de-
termined by the dairy score, the bac-
terra content Of the milk or ear and
whether the milk or cream has been
pa%steurized.
The college lays particular emphasis
on the construction and the care of
dairy utensils and gives figures to show
that at least two-thirds of the bacteria
sometimes present in milk may be ex-
cluded by using a small top milkpail.
All crevices and seams in dairy uten-
sils should be well flushed with solder.
it is stated; otherwise bacteria will col
lect in these places and contaminate
each fresh lot of milk put into the
utensils. All utensils used should be
rinsed in lukewarm water, then wash
ed with q brush, not a cloth, in a
strong solution Of washing powder and
hot water and then either thoroughly
scalded with boiling water or, better
still, sterilized in steam.

ping communities frequently has work.
ed severe losses. This fact has caused
many inquiries to be made regarding
the possibility Of developing new varie-
ties OF strains of potatoes possessing
certain specific qualities not embodied,
at least to the same degree, in those
varieties now under cultivation.
This demand upon the plant breeder
has served to emphasize the desirable
ity Of attempting to develop either
through breeding Or selection new vari-
cites or strains Of potatoes which shall
possess a greater degree Of resistance
to the parasitic fungi which now prey
upon the plants and tubers.
Another fruitful field Of investigation
well worth the attention Of the plant
breeder is the development Of potato
varieties that are better adapted to GER
tain sections Of u country. Their
characteristics may be either earliness
or lateness, drought resistance or heat
resistance or an ability to succeed in
heavy or light soil; they may be pro-
ductiveness, shape Of tuber, quality of
tuber, starch content or, in fact, any
distinct quality which would make a
variety especially desirable for cultiva-
ton in a given locality.
Every progressive potato grower
should have a selection plot" in which
to grow bis yearly selections and also
an increase plot" where the promising
selections may be increased for the
field crop planting. The deterioration
Of our cultivated varieties Of potato
through lack of proper care and
through disease makes it necessary
that varieties be improved by greater
care in the selection of the seed and
through the development Of new seed
ling varieties possessing greater resist
ance to disease or better commercial
qualities.

"THE ITALIAN"

In the character of Beppo Donnetti,
George Beban gives a mastery ex-
ample of what an actor who is alive
to his role and can feel his part, can
do in the way Of holding an audience
in sustained tension.
By facial expression and the natur-
al gestures with the hands he is
capable of depicting so many diff
ferent phases, so many different emo
lions, that though the action is only
on the screen, we wonder why it is
said that the screen has it's limitations.
1t is nothing less than wonderful.
Coupled with good clear photo
graphy, well-chosen interior settings,
and a few startling innovations, such
as hanging on the running-board of a
rapidly-moving automobile, being
thrown off by a kick in the face, and
50 on, the acting Of Behan makes a
rather pleasing and interesting pro-
duction out Of a story whose plot is
nothing out of the ordinary.
The story Of the immigrant toiling
in a foreign land to earn enough to
bring his prospective bride to his
side from their native land, and their
subsequent struggles to subsist on
the barest living wage, has been used
over and over again.
On his release from prison, where
he has been sent for trying to get
milk for his dying child, Beppo learns
of the child's death and holds the
political boss indirectly responsible.
Remembering past favors rendered
by him to the boss,. he had ex-
pected help from that quarter only to
be literally thrown in the gutter.

SAVE HAIRY VETCH SEED.
European Mar Damages Prospects Of
Growing Important Crop.

European War Damages Prospects Of
Growing Important Crop.
Prepared by the United States depart
ment Of agricultural
The greater part Of the hairy vetch
seed used in the United States has
been imported from Russia and Ger
many, the annual importations increas-
ing from less than 100000 pounds in
1906 to over 100000 pounds in 1914.
Because Of the European war there
Seems little prospect of more seed be-
ing imported before this fall. For this
reason farmers who have hairy vetch
growing are urged by the specialists
of the United States department Of
agriculture to saw their WI supply Of
seed this year, SO they may be able to
continue the use of this valuable crop.
1t is not to be expected, however. that
prices higher than those of last year
will be obtained, as the high price Of
the seed under normal conditions in
recent years has been the chief factor
in limiting the use of hairy vetch in
the past.
In harvesting the seed crop it should
be cut with a moving machine when
the oldest pods are fully ripe. The
wheels Of the mower as well as the
horses must not be allowed to pass
over the cut vetch, as otherwise much
Of the seed will be shattered out. AS
the pods break open readily when dry
the greatest al should be taken in
curing and handling to avoid loss of
seed. 1t can be thrashed with an or
binary grain thrasher by lowering the
concaves sufficiently to avoid cracking
the seed. Yields of from three to ten
bushels per acre OF hairy vetch seed
may be expected in addition to the rye
or other grain with which it Is grown.
A complete separation Of the hairy
vetch seed from rye OF wheat is best
made by use of a spiral separating ma
chine known in Europe as a "schnec-
tentrieur," which is nov manufactured
for sale in this country. For local
seeding, however, a complete separa'
ton is not. necessary, and the desired
proportions Of vetch and rye or wheat
can be obtained by the use Of an ordi-
nary flaming mill.
