GARDEN WORK IN SEASON

have never had such good results
from summer fertilizing in the garden
as I have this season. In the first
place have splendid place for gar
den. Not many years ago it was the
bottom Of big slough on an Illinois
prairie, with deep soil made up of
humus from long line of decayed
roots or water-growing grasses and
plants.
The land was put in cultivation a
good many years ago and not long
after put down to grass and kept in
pasture until last year when it was ap-
propriated for garden back Of the
new house.
Last year splendid crop Of weeds
was grown in the garden. Not by me,
please understand, for have consti-
tutional antipathy for weeds, inherited
from long line of farmer ancestors.
might have expected very good
garden this year without special at
tention further than good cultivation,
but know that garden vegetables are
voraclous feeders and concluded to
supply mine with all they could take
care Of by putting on commercial fer
tilizer.
The land was plowed last fall,
turned under the weeds which were
from waist to shoulder high. This
spring beautiful crop came on and
was worked into the soil before the
garden was planted.
Then a good grade of commercial
fertilizer was used in row and hill of
everything that was planted except
the corn and beans. / was afraid to
feed these crops too we'll.
AS check, pieces Of rows were left
unfertilized. 1 planned to keep these
without fertilizer during the summer,
but when saw how far they were
falling behind, began to work the fer
tilizer in around the rows and hills
which had been left unfertilized.
also worked it in the other crops
as I cultivated them and from the
start that garden has grown until the
neighbors asked what kind Of seeds
planted.
have pretty good check by having
a neighbor's garden near enough to
observe, the land being the same as
mine. I have used commercial fer
tilizer at the rate of almost four
pounds to the acre.
Lettuce and onions have responded
in surprising way. When one can
grow heads of lettuce which are two
feet across, one need not ask for any
thing more. Onions from seeds made
a growth such as I had never seen
anywhere.
Every time these crops have been
cultivated very light coat of fertil-
izer has been scattered along each
side of the rows and worked into the
soil.
Peas, of the same sort a neighbor
planted, were twice as high and load
ed with pods filed to bursting.
Squashes, beets, potatoes, melons,
came as near growing fast enough to
see as any ever did.
/ know perfectly well that / over
dosed this garden, but the part Of the
fertilizer that the crops of this year
have not used will not get away but
will remain for next year. I believe

GIVE ATTENTION TO CALVES
Sour Milk, Irregular Feeding and Vary.
Ing Temperatures viii Not
Make Good Animals.

If you have spring calves you need
give them attention in order to keep
them growing. Sour milk, irregular
feeding, and varying temperatures of
the milk will not make good calves.
After the calves have been changed
to skim milk the temperature Of the
milk can gradually be reduced until
cold milk is fed all the time. It had
best be cold all the time than warm
one feed, cold another and hot an
other. If farm separator is used,
Of course the milk should be fed as
soon as SKINNED.

REASON FOR LESS CHICKENS
High Price of Grain Has Caused Many
Farmers to Part With Fowls
Eggs Also Higher.

Because of the present prices Of
grain, there is tendency this year on
the part of poultrymen to keep fewer
hens and to raise fewer chickens. The
price of grain is higher now than for
years. Many farmers killed off their
flocks last year and many are keeping
a smaller percentage than ever before
They have not stopped to consider the
poultry situation seriously. While feed
has gone up go to 20 per cent during
the past year, eggs also have increased
In price.

ACTIVITY IS LIFE OF FOWLS
Best Results Obtained by Feeding
sparinoIy in Morning and Heavily
In the Evening.

A very common practice with many
fiocks is to feed the same quantity of
scratch feed both morning and evening.
Better results have been obtained by
feeding quite sparingly in the morn
ing and heavily at night. A hen likes
to scratch and work for her food.
Don't make it too easy for her. Re
member activity is the life of the hen.

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1917-04-28

Of the most important events which
took place in the year 1777 or have
failed to read it, and that is the part
am giving. Hawthorne says:
"A feature in the scheme which
was relied upon to insure its success
was the engagement of the Indian
tribes Of the locality to spread terror
and death along the margin OF the
march. This was insisted on by
King George and German, who wish
ed no restraint to be put upon the
natural impulses of the red men.
They agreed with the savages that
war upon women and children was
legitimate.
"' His majesty. German again and
again repeated, wishes to take ad.
vantage of every means which Provi-
dence places in his hands,
God, according to these gentlemen,
approved of scalping mothers, and
dashing out the brains of their babes.
Neither Burgoyne nor Carleton were
so advanced as this, and the former,
in his address to the Indians, enjoin-
ed upon them not to scalp their enc
mics unless they we're dead.
"The Indians promised, rejecting
that there need be no trouble about
the killing. AS matter of fact,
however, when they got to work,
with no red-coat officer to look after
them, they went on in the old famil-
lar way, and it must be added that
when Burgoyne began to find himself
in danger from despised husbandmer,
he was no longer in the least partic-
ular about asking whether the scalps
brought in were living or dead ones
"These children of nature, he per-
ceived, were better left to their own
device. When pretty Jane Maccrae,
imagining herself safe under the es-
cort of two indians. was on her way
to join her betrothed lover at Fort
Edward. the escort quarreled about
her, and as the easiest way to settle
it. drove an axe into her skull. The
deed, committed under such circum-
stances, sent a thrill of horror
through the country, but Burgoyne,
when the murderers were brought be-
fore him, thought they would best be
pardoned.

NEW FEATURE.

+ Attention Of travelling men is called
to a new feature which will appear
on this page each Saturday devoted
solely to the interests and activities
of the Commercial Travellers of
North Dakota.
These men do more promotion
work for the state than possibly any
other one class. They are optimists.
Bismarck owes much to their boost
ing in and out of season.
The Tribune hopes the members Of
the u. C. T. will make this feature a
success by frequent contributions of
general interest to the knights Of the
grip.
II there are any scribes among
your number here is the challenge
to get busy. When humping over
the ties on local freight. if you have
an inspiration just get your pad out,
jOt it down and fire it into the edi-
torial department of The Tribune.
Even verse will be table-and
stories if the vintage is not too an
cient.

" SPRING fever
Not Due to Germs From Without But

(By DR.. Valentine MOTIF


(By Dr. Valentine MOTIF
At this time of year most people
suffer from what we term "spring
fever" because of a. stagnant condi-
ton of the blood, because of the toxic
poisons stored up within the body
during the long winter. We eat too
much meat, with little or no green
vegetables. Spinach should be eaten
often because it contains 80 percent.
of iron and makes for better. nutri.
ton of the blood.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic peo-
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips.
who have poor appetite and feel
that tired, worn or feverish condition
in the springtime of the year, should
try the refreshing tonic powers of a
good Alternative and blood purifier.
Such a one, which can heartily rec

root, Golden Seal and Stone root,
Queens root and Oregon Grape root,
made up with chemically pure glycer-

sold it for fifty years as Doctor

A good purge should be taken once
week even by persons who have a
movement daily, in order to elimin-

cause a condition of auto.intoxica-

once week is to practice preventive
measures. There is nothing so good

MUST BE FIRM ALLIANCE.

1t is not conceivable that in Inc
conference at Washington between
the American, British and French Of
ficials, differences will develop seri-
GUS enough to prevent a hard and
fast alliance not only for the prose-
CutiOn of the war against Germany
but also for Its continuation until
permanent world peace has been
achieved.
The United States was forced into
the great conflict because the free
dom of the world was menaced by
Germany.
For more than two years we pa
tiently endured German attacks on
our people and our property because
we did not fully appreciate that they
were merely symptomatic of Ger
many's determination to strike at the
very vitals of the democratic princi-
pie.
When Germany finally openly de,
clared war on humanity two courses
were open to us. ...-r
We had to fight or submit.
The question was not merely one
Of honor or dishonor. r-..-
The future of the whole world was
involved in our decision.
II we submitted and stood aside,
the chances were better than even
that Germany would win. And a
German victory would mean the con-
troll of the seas and the domination
of the world by the Hohenzollern
autOcracy.
Such victory would be blow to
democracy from which it could not

If we accepted the challenge and
drew the saber in defense of the
worlds freedom, we should have
known il we did not that we must
make common cause with the ma
tons which had been forced to ac-
cept the challenge two and half
years earlier.
1t was inevitable and necessary
that we fight Germany; it is inevita-
bile and necessary that we fight her

cCratic nations; it is inevitable and

1t is unthinkable that Great Britain
and France should ever consider a
peace with Germany without us.
Whether or not the arrangements
and understandings that result from

that by insisting on the letter of the
