We would like to take map of
Minnesota and show you the counties
of Roseau, Beltrami, Marshall and
Kittson, an area of 100000 square
miles. We would like to call your. at
tention to what was done in Denmark,
country of 100000 square miles.
Forty years ago Denmark was a
bankrupt nation. 1t was a grain-grow-
ing country. From necessity the peo-
pie of Denmark formed small farm
ers' clubs of from six to a dozen IA
miles. The first thing they talked of
was a COW, then chickens and pigs.
What has been the result? In the
year 1914 Denmark exported to the
British empire $5O,0OO,000 worth of
butter alone. Their total exports is
worth nearly one billion dollars year

DRY FARMING AND
CAPILLARITY.

Most people have heard of dry
farming, but very few know exactly
what it is and how it is possible to
carry it on. Yet it depends upon one
Of the most common principles Of
physics. Of course all plants have to
have moisture about their roots in or
der to live; so even in dry farming
this has to be the case. The expedi-
ent necessary then is to retain near
the roots what rain does fall on the
ground. One good rain-if all the
water could be kept on hand would
be sufficient to raise crop.
In order to understand how the wa
ter absorbed by the ground is retain
ed by the dry farmer to great ex-
tent, the subject Of capillarity will
have to be studied somewhat. If a
blotter be placed at one end in an ink
we'll, we all know that the ink will
rise up into the blotter by what is
known as capillary attraction-and
the finer the holes in the blotter the
farther will the ink rise; that is, to a
certain extent. A wick in oil or wa
Ter will do the same thing. Imagine
such a wick in bottle of water with
the end just sticking out of the neck
Of the bottle and the other end at the

The power of habit is we'll illustrat-
ed by the unfortunate individuals who
have acquired the drug habit, and
now find their supply of heroin, NOR
phine and other drugs cut short by
the stringent federal law which regu-
lates the sale of these poisons. In
every large city or town, dope fends
by the score and by the hundreds are
forced to appeal to the authorities for
help to satisfy or cure the abnormal
craving. It seems that the habit
leaves its victims, physical, mental
and moral wrecks. It behooves every
person therefore to guard against bad
habits and foster good habits, remem-
bering always that it is easier to ac-
quire bad habit than to get rid of it.;

bottom Of the bottle-what will take
place? Why, the top end immediate
~ becomes very wet, and the water
there is soon evaporated, but just as
often as it is evaporated some comes
up from the bottom to take its place
so finally the whole bottle of water
is lost by evaporation.
This is exactly what happens in a
dry country after rainfall. The
water at the surface is evaporated.
and the water from beneath comes up
to the surface and is evaporated, till
finally the ground for several feet
down is as dry as a chip, but firm.
The whole secret Of dry farming is in
preventing this top evaporation from
taking place. The only way to do it
is either to put a waterproof layer on
top, which is impracticable because
the plants have to have air also, or
else cover the surface with a dry
mulch of such coarseness that the in
terstices or passageways are too
large for capillary attraction to raise
the water from the smaller ones be-
low. Of course this latter method is
the one that is followed, and on look
ing at dry farm one would think
from the looks Of the top soil that no
rain had ever fallen-but on scraping/
away the dirt or mulch for a few
inches he would find the lower earth
moist and all right L. Hodges.

A LEGEND OF EASTER.

The story runs that when Adam
felt death approach he called his son
Seth to his side and babe him ask the
archangel, the keeper of the garden,
for a balsam that should save him
from death.
The time of pardon is not yet GOMEZ
said the archangel -Four thousand
years must pass. But as a token that
his future pardon is assured the wood
whereon redemption shall be won shall
grow from Adams tomb"
He then gave three seeds to Seth
and babe him place them in his ia
theirs mouth when he died. Adam died
three days later. Seth obeyed the di-,
rectiOns of the archangel, and the place
Of his fathers sepulcher was Golgotha,
where in course Of time three trees
grew from the seeds. One was cedar,
another cypress and the third pine.
1t was with a bough from one Of these
trees that Moses performed his mira
cles in Egypt, brought water out of
the rock and healed those whom the
serpents had bitten in the wilderness.
After a time the three trees incorpo-
rated themselves with each other and
became a single tree, beneath which
David sat when he bewailed his sins.
In the days of Solomon the tree had
become the finest of all trees, so was
cut down to assist in the building of
the temple. But magic seemed to have
taken possession Of the wood, for
nothing which it was wanted to serve
for would answer until at last Solo
mon cast the tree over Cedron so that
all might trample on it as they crossed
the brook.
There it was discovered by the queen
of Sheba, and she, recognizing it's vir-
| tue, had it raised. It was then buried,
| but the spot where it lay became the
| pool Of Bethesda and healed all the
sick who focked to it. When the time
of the crucifxion drew near the beam
of wood rose to the surface and was
brought out of the water, and when
the executioners sought for a beam for
the cross they discovered this and
found that it fitted their purpose. So
the prophecy was fulfilled.

A bill is now before the state legis-

upon women the right to vote for
presidential electors. There is no
good reason why this bill should not
become law and we hope the senator

will show their gallantry to the ladies
by voting for it. Women in some 9th
er states vote for presidential elect
ors, then why not the fine women of

Projects for High School
Home
Students;

Instruction in agriculture differs
a great deal from any other high
school science in that so much Of the
Laboratory work must be done outside
of school, Unless the theoTe tiical in
struction given is followed up with
actual practice the work in agricul-
ture will lose much in effectiveness.
Studying manual training out of
books alone would not bring one very
far. Book-learning, so called, is all
right in it's place and should be- thot
of only as help and guide in prac-
tice. Heretofore the home work %of
the boys and girls that attend our
high schools has not been connected
with the work that they do in the
class room but | firmly believe that
this much neglected feature Of our
work will be attended to thru the
home projects that are now offered
by so many Of the high schools all
over the country.
There are three essentials to the
success Of home project: i,
/. Classroom study.
2. Laboratory exercises at school
related thereto. a,Sz
3. Home. work, where the theory is
applied and the knowledge made use
of.
List Of Home Projects that will be
offered:
I. Plant production.
1. Growing an acre of corn.
2. Developing an acre of alfalfa or
clover.
8. Growing an acre Of any Of the
small grains, each a separate project.
4. Establishing an orchard on the
home farm.
5. The culture of 100 of an acre
Of all the truck crops, each separ-
ate project.
6. Growing 18 Of an acre of pota-
toes.
II. Animal Husbandry.
l. The keeping of feed and milk
production records Of the home herd.
2. The calculations and feeding of
improved rations, with records of re-
suits obtained from their use.
3. The care and management of the
home herd Of cattle, sheep, or swine,
each in itself separate project.
4, The care and management of
horses used on the farm for four
months.
s.. Care of dairy COW,
6. Care of rs hens for egg produc-
tion..
Z. Care of brood SOW and litter.
III. Farm Management and Agri-
cultural Engineering.
1. Replanning the home farm.
I 2: Submitting plans and drawings
for the construction of house and
barn on the home farm.
3. Keeping the farm accounts for
FIVE months on home farm.
4. Laying out and building drain
age. system for the home farm.
Others will be worked out to meet
the need.
Each student should select his or
her project as soon as possible and
send in application to the High
School at once. Each project will be
carefully supervised and each student
will receive one half credit for every
project successfully carried out. The
work must be of high grade and the
awards will be made to comply with
the rules sent out by the United
States No student will be per-
mitted to enroll for more than one
project each: year.

THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS.

DR. l. H. Coriat, nerve specialist at
BostOn's city hospital, would have us
believe that every dream is fulfilment
book TO prove it. Or. COriat's theory
may be cOnsoling 10 him and many
others, but it doesn't fit our case. Our
dreams don't seem TO be loaded with
fulhlment so you could notice it, and
we're still chnging to the theory that
dreams are due to pie, cheese, rank
cigars. roast pork and other old fash
toned promoters.
Last week we had been wishing,
with all our strength and patriotism,
that fate would knock at our doc,
and leave enough money to pay the
tax bills. and one night. we dreamed.
tO-wit:
We were walking. east on Colfax av.
with those tax bills tangoing around in
our brain when, right ahead of the
corner of Main St, we saw bag
labeled S1.0OO.OOO upon the sidewalk.
our monogram was on the bag Hail
! ing a jitney bus, we put the bag into
it and resumed our walk. At Wash
ington st. we found two similar bags,
each for $1,OO0.O0O and properly
stamped with our initials. With what
! fulfllment of wishes did we enter the
county treasurers office, with those
bags each labeled $1.OOO.OOO! Our
| night-cap was sweat clear through
and we haven't got over the ache in
I our shoulders yet. Bowling to the door
the treasurer opened one of those
/ bass 1t contained blue and Write
poker chips, and Chief Kerr came in
and took us TO the city Jail for rnakins
the false pretense of having money
/ Doggone fine "fulfllment.' wasn't
it? But, maybe we made a mistake in
not just riding around town with all
| those bags. The pleasure of their
] mere presence was indescribable and
should have been enough, without any
effort at fulhllment.
