Insuring a Family

THISconsumptivegi girl lived in a little
II house with her parents and four
brothers and a sister When the
visiting nurse Of the city called upon
her she found the whole family in dan
ger Of contracting tuberculosis from
the young woman through ignorance
Of the proper methods of caring for the
patient. The nurse instructed the
members of the family about the prep
aratiOn of the girls food and the care
Of her room, so as to give her every
chance for life Most important Of all,
the nurse showed how the disease
tuberculosis-is spread from one per
son to another through the spit and
spray from the mouth of a consump-
tive. They were taught that all of the
approximations should be caught in pa
per boxes or napkins and burned.
Those instructions practically insure
the lives Of the other members Of tbs
family.

taking care Of increased horizontal or
surface acreage are all right in their
way. but to go deeper into the farm.
to increase its fertility and productive
ness by increasing its depth, Is mat
ter that the practice Of vertical farm
ing accomplishes quickly and econom-
ically, and very often a single car
fridge Of explosive will convert several
yards of otherwise useless subsoil into
half an acre Of new root feeding sur
face. Thus, instead Of spreading out
and embracing more territory, vertical
farming enables the farmer to really
concentrate and by intensive methods
conserves in both labor and expense.
At the same time the resulting in
crease in crops emphasizes the profit
able features Of the process.
And there is a practical reason for
this. By breaking up the subsoil oxy-

Deepening the Farm For Bigger Crops
The Third Dimension of the Farm Important Factor to Greater
Crops and Bigger Dividends.

Of the lower soils are released and
utilized. A reservoir for the storage Of
water Is created, and a good home for
the roots Is produced. Good roots
are essential to good plants. Men
who look below the surface realize
these facts. They know also that Q
plant produces only in proportion 70

ment given its roots. Thus Is the new

A representative OF the Independent

see so much fine looking stock: We did

had been grown right here in North

the front ranks as producer Of ped
igreed horses and blooded cattle and
hogs.
Mr.. Peters of the agricultural COL
legt has about completed judging the
stock. Friday will be the last day of
the show and the stock sale will be
held Saturday. The crowd has not been
as large as the show deserved. Friday
is Minot day and an effort is being
made to encourage large number Of
cur citizens to see this show. 1t is an
opportunity they cannot afford to pass
up.
Lenton & Roth have a fine bunch Of
horses on display, consisting Of ten
registered Percherons. They received
first and second on aged stations, first
and second on brood mares with foal
at side; first and second on foals alone;
first on 3year-old flly and second on
produce Of mare. They have nice
