Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years. H1r.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

cultural College.
1t is not always possible to state
definitely how much the productive
capacity of the soil has been improved
by crop rotation, because some Of the
results are immediate while others
are carried over for future production,
At the North Dakota Experiment
Station study of the influence of in
dividual crops in a rotation has been
conducted for period of fifteen years.
It has been found that the introduc-
ton of corn in the rotation increases
the yeild of wheat 3S per cent, or an
average of six bushels of wheat per
acre each year wheat was grown. An
addition, of course, of II per cent was
obtained when six tons of manure
was plowed under for corn. The in
PRODUCTION of timothy in the rotation
resulted in an increase of 35 per cent
In the yield of succeeding wheat
crops.
Crop rotation on the state demon.
stration farms has produced a marked
increase in crop yield. In 1909 on the
six farms started in 1906 the wheat
averaged 26.5 bushels per acre ma.
chine measure. On the six started in
1907 the average was 1925 bushels
and on the eight farms started in the
spring of 1909 the average yield was
14.5 bushels. The farms which had
been under rotation for the entire
period yielded much higher than the
ones where the benefit of rotation had
not had time to show results. The
crops that were grown on the farms
which were ntarted in 1909 were seed.
ed on land on which no rotation had
been followed.
At the Edgeley substation four
years. work (1907-10) showed that
the yield of wheat was increased 4.5
bushels, the yield of barley 65 bush
els and the yield of oats So bushels
by placing corn in the rotation.
Quoting from the third annual re-
port of the Dickinson substation, the
establishment of corn crop in pref
erence to a clean summer fallow adds
nearly 81 per acre to the increase.
The addition of manure to the rota-
ton exerts a considerable influence.
This alone adds in the neighborhood
of So per acre to the income and
when a manured corn crop is one of
the crops In the three-year rotation
rather than a clean summer fallow
the increased income per acre
amounts to $3.50.
In this discussion it should be un.
derstood that two of the three years
have been rather more favorable than
the average.

HURT BY SAVAGE HORSE.

DIR. A. N. Currie was summoned
rs miles south of the Missouri on
Sunday, to attend a rather peculiar
case. Mr.. Wayne McRae, young
homesteader of that vicinity was en-
gagged in breaking bronchs" and in
riding an exceptionally vicious one
he was thrown in such a manner
that he fell on his head, being rem
uered unconscious. Believing him
merely stunned, his friends picked
him up and carried him to the house
Here he lay unconscious for over a
day before medical aid was sum-
mOned. DR.. Currie hurried to the
scene of the accident and after an
examination OF McRae, ordered him
taken to the hospital at Glasgow.
Here DR.. Currie reports, thorough
examination was given in an at
tempt to locate the cause of his con-
dition. Up until Friday morning he
has been unconscious all the time
with the exception of a few minutes,

WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

The first three days of the week
ending Saturday, Sept. 4th, were
unusually warm and were followed
by showers and cooler weather the
remainder of the week. There was
an excess in the daily mean tenn
perature as compared with the nor
NAL of 4 degrees. The highest
temperature was 90 degrees on
Monday, August Goth, and the low
est was "A on, Sunday, August 10Th,
making weekly range in tempera-
ture of 40 degrees.
Generally the rain fall in this Sec
ton becomes appreciably less with
the advent of autumn, but the total
rain fall the week was 0.86 inches,
which is twice the average amount
for this period. All this rain fell
during the night of September LIST
and End and was accompanied by a
thunder storm. There were three
clear days, one partly cloudy and
three cloudy days. The wind force
was light to gentle from the west.
The harvesting of some late rip
ening grain continues especially in
the Bear Paw mountain district
where all grains were somewhat
late in maturing. Flowing and

Montana's production of wool for

less than that of the preceding year
If the figures of one of the leading
railroad men who has been closely
in touch with the wool market, are
to be accepted. That this years
production for the whole state has
amounted to 26,0OO,OOO pounds il
the estimate made by F. F. O'Brien
of Milwaukee, commercial agent for
the Western Transit company, who
has routed good share of the Mon
tana wool overhis lines after it
leaves the rails of the western roads
and who has kept very close
watch upon every clip of wool
which has gone out of the state or
which is still in the hands of the

ROAD MANAGEMENT.

Where a county builds good
road and soon let's it become rutty,
washed out, or uneven, who or
what is principally to blame? AS a
result of a study of conditions in
a number of counties, road special
lists of the department are inclined
to place the responsibility upon the
following defects in road manage
ment, some or all of which are
sound in all counties where good
roads are not properly repaired and
maintained:
/. County boards, although hav-
ing full administrative authority,
appear not to attach to their official
action in road matters the impart-
have. 0..
2. County boards do not gen.
orally have sufficient accounting
control of road funds to know what
is available for any particular pro-
ject, where funds have been or
where existing balances are to be
expended.
8. Lack of any systematic prac-
t1ce in handling road funds among
most counties makes it very diff
cult to carry out over even single
year any persistent maintenance
policy, because funds officially OBJ
liged for maintenance purposes are
hot protected against sporadic and
irregular drafts for miscellaneous
purposes. The greatest likelihood
consequently exists everywhere that
there will be no balance in the
maintenance fund in the last half
or third of the year, although only
Ia part of the fund allotted may have
been spent.
4. Local labor available for
maintenance work is made dissatis-
fed by the constant, unintelligent,
land unfavorable criticism of those
using the road.
S. Maintenance continuing over
Ia. period of years-the ultimate in
Indispensable condition of effective
maintenance-is jeopardised by the
lack Of accounting control that will
prevent spending next years cur
trent income in this year.
6. The lack of skilled supervis-
ion in construction and the effect of
this In increasing the cost of max
ling effective maintenance impossi-
IDLY expensive is everywhere seen.
Z. The county authorities are
commonly opposed to following sug-
|gestions for maintenance that in
|volve tying up road funds in any
way, such as purchasing material in

ADMIRABLE 11TERTRY GEM

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The other day well-meaning
friend handed me an anti-liquor
tract entitled "The Two Crowns. -

of Adolphus Busch, wherein he pre-
sents his wife with golden crown
said to cost 100000. Among the
presents were those from ex-Presi-
dents Taft and Roosevelt.
The rest of the tract is shrek.
What has the brewers wife done,
more than poorer women,to deserve

For one thing she has shown SUPER

to their own political standing they
would find that defective parentage,
bad reading and miserable home
environment are the factors which

FIRST NATIONAL CORN SHOW

The First National Corn Show to
be held at st. Paul, December l to
81, 1915, under the auspices of the
First National Bank and Northwest
ern Trust Company of St. Paul and
bankers OF the Northwest, has a
clear field to attract the undivided
attention or growers of corn, the
nations greatest crop, from coast
to coast this Year. While cornpe-
tition at the show will be limited to
entries from the Northwestern
states, interest in the project will be
national, due to the fact that no
other large corn show will be staged
during 1915. In past years. the
National Corn Shows, open to all
states, have been the biggest agri-
cultural events of the year.
The promoters of the First Nat
ional Corn Show have prepared to
take every advantage of this fact,
realizing the exceptional opportu-
nifty of directing the attention of
corn growers throughout the United
States to the splendid resources of
the Northwest for the production of
this and kindred crops in connection
with the growing of livestock.
The First National Coin Show
for which entries will be received up
to December 1st, will be open COM
petition for Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho. There will
be no competition between states,
each state being divided into dis
tricts in such a manner that corn
growers may compete with associ-
ates on an equal basis, so far as soil
climatic conditions, etc., are con-
cerned. One hundred and twenty
eight silver and "Goldyn Bronze
loving cups valued at 100000 will
be awarded as prizes at the show.
A distinctive feature of the First
National Corn Show will be the
Boys Corn Contest" open to en-
tries by boy corn growers through
out the Northwest, eighteen years
of age or under. boys submitting
prize winning corn will be awarded
the same attractive trophies as are
offered the adult exhibitor.
Farmers and farmers sons in the
corn contest territory are urged to
enter exhibits, not only from a
standpoint of competing for the in
trinsic value of the prizes offered,
and the honors that go to winners
but also in spirit of cooperation
with the management, thus enab-
ling them to prepare display
which will demonstrate to the en-
tire United States the fact that corn
can be, and is being successfully
produced in every county of the en-
tire Northwest.
