under cultivation, and that is that
each year brings more bountiful
yield, and crop failure is unknown.
In our sister states, Wisconsin and
Michigan, where they have thousands
of acres Of this type Of soil under
cultivation, with many different
kinds of crops, the grasses seem to
be the most satisfactory. Many of
these fields are yielding from three
to four tons of timothy hay each
year. There is no reason why Bel
trami county, with her vast acreage
of these lands, cannot become the
leader of the state in the raising of
fine grasses.
In conclusion, find that there is
only one procedure with these lands.
First, carefully drain your land in
to the large laterals already provided.
Second, burn the moss, clear from
stumps, roots and grubs, and then
disc, harrow, and plow until a good
seed bed is obtained Third, use
plenty of manure, mari and other fer
tilizers to sweten and enrich the
muck. Fourth, the selection of the
proper crop to be grown This done,
and Beltrami county will fulfill the
prophecy. made by those who had
faith in her when reclamation was
started, that Beltrami county in.
Northern Minnesota, was destined to
become the land of certainty and the
greatest of dairying counties of the
state.

SECURE SIS BUSHELS OF
POTATOES FROM THREE ACRES

w. G. Schroeder of Bemidji dug
more than 875 bushels of Burbank
potatoes on his farm~four miles west
of Bemidii. The potatoes averaged
$50 bushels to the acre and at 40
cents bushel the value of the crop
would be not less than $3.50.

yet they are as true as gospel. The
stories of failures are few and far

a cause for which the country is in

British Battleship Triumph Hit

MAJORITY OF CREW ESCAPE
Destroyers and Other Small Graf
Make Unsuccessful Pursuit of
the Submarine.

London, May 27.-The British bat
tleship Triumph has been sunk in the
Dardanelles, according to an official
announcement.
The majority of the officers and
men, numbering about 700, were res
cued. The war Office statement says
the captain and commander are
among those saved.
The submarine was chased by de-
stroyers and patrolling small craft.
The disaster to the Triumph is de-
scribed in brief statement by tho
admiralty, which says that. while op-
Grating in support of the Australian
and New Zealand forces on the shore
of the Gallipoli peninsula the Triumph
was torpedoed by a submarine and
sank shortly afterward.
The official announcement does not
say whether the submarine was Turk
ish or German, but it probably was Of
the latter nationality, as the British
legation at Athens recently offered a
reward for the sinking of German
submarines supposed to be in the
Mediterranean

ty in the following statement:
An enemy submarine torpedoed
and sank H. M. s. Majestic, Captain
H. G. G. Talbot, while 1t was support

sula.
Nearly all the officers and men
were saved"
The battleship Majestic was q vessel
of $4,000 tons and of 10000 horse
power. Her officers and crew, on a
peace footing, aggregated 757.
The sinking of the Majestic makes
the fifth British battleship lost in the
Dardanelies campaign and the second
by hostile submarine, the Triumph
having been sent to the bottom in the
Gulf of Saros Wednesday. The
French also have lost one battleship
in the Turkish campaign-the Bouvet.

work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has

herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
