Subjects of vital interest will be dis
cussed and the work Of the Farm Bur-
eau explained. There are now over
l,5OO, 900 farmers in this organization
extending over nearly forty states.
This federation of farm bureaus gives
greater promise of satisfactorily solv-
ing the agricultural problems of the
day than any other movement yet
started. - *
Most farmers have learned that it
is not safe to depend on any one farm
crop and that live stock; must be Civ
en- more consideration, as we'll as a
greater diversity of crops. One Of the
speakers, ]. G. Haney, for the past 8
years has managed Demonstration
Farms for the Agricultural Extension
Department of the International Har-
vester Company, in North Dakota and
South Dakota, This Company is now
considering the establishment of such
farms in Montana and northern Min
nesota. These farms are conducted
just as ordinary farms in these local
tiles are conducted, growing corn, al
falfa and live stock, with a view to
building up the soil and increasing
grain yields, has been the object. A
systematic rotation of crops is prac-
iced, and has resulted in more than
Doubling the yields Of grain. Corn
and alfalfa have been grown with sat-
isfactory results, the corn siloed in a
pit silo and fed to stock sheltered in
straw sheds. What has been done on
these farms can be done on any half
section farm in this region and there
is no hesitancy in recommending just
what has been done.
Hundreds Of farmers over the North
west have been supplied with improv-
ed corn, alfalfa and sweet clover seed.
A strain Of Minnesota No. 13 corn
has been developed that is earlier and
harder than the southern grown seed.
This strain has never failed to pro-
duce seed at Grand Forks, in the eight
years it has been grown.
On the /. Il. G. Demonstration Farm
at Grand Forks, an old brick yard
and coulee banks have been seeded to
yellow sweet clover, wheat grass and
bronze grass. Last year forty cows
and calves were pastured on less thar
forty acres. Haney believes that the
sweet clover is the greatest find Of
modern times for the farmer.
Hulless barley was sown early last
spring, and on the 9Th Of July, sows
and pigs turned into the barley. Early
Flint corn was in hard roasting ear
stage BY August 18th and the hogs
were turned into the corn. They were
fed no other feed from the time they
were turned-into the barley, July 5th.
until the m6w covered the corn SO
they couid not get II. These hogs made
very rapid growth and were thrifty
and healthy all the time. They. did all
the gathering, threShing, grinding
and feeding, and did not squesl about
:it.
The talks which Haney makes at
these meetings are the results 81 ac-
tual experience and observation. He

Life of Hiram, Maxim,

P. f. Mobtelay, the late private Sec
retary Of Sir Hiram s. Maxim. has
prepared the definitive biography Of the
inventor in Life and Work" The Rt.
Hon. Lord Moulton, X. G. B., f. Il. s.,
has written an appreciative introduc-
ton, who characterizes the subject as
follows: "Sir Hiram Maxim was a born
inventor. His mind was intensely prac-
tical so that there remained in 1t a
complete and accurate picture Of the
potentialities of substances and proc
esses with which he had acquaintance
during his diversified life. In the second
place he was gifted with a lightning =
like rapidity in separating the essentials
of q problem from the non essentials
And in the third place he was gifted
with genuine and remarkable inventive
faculty, by which / mean he had the
imagination which could devise wholly
new grouping Of the means at his com
mand instead of mere notifications Of
that which he saw in use already"
Sir Hiram was born In Maine,
descendant of an old French Huguenot
family which settled in Plymouth coun-
ty. Massachusetts, generations ago. Mr..
Mottelay had the benefit of co operation
of Sir Hiram, who indeed dictated some
of the material in explanation Of GER
tain of his inventions, which included
the automatic gun, smokeless powder,
the electric lamp filament and various
acronautical devices.

the organization responsible for the
death Of the distinguished specialists.
The story moves quickly with thrilling
event following thrilling event in rapid

McMASTER FINISHES
HIS VAR HISTORY
IL Is an Invaluable Record Of
the Part Played by the
United States

The publication Of the second volume
Of Professor McMaster's ''The United
States in the World War" brings TO
an end one Of the most valuable con-
tributions to historical knowledge ever
produced.
Professor McMaster has with pains
taking care gathered information from
all possible sources of what was done
by the United States and in the United
States in the prosecution of the war
and in the negotiation Of peace. The
first volume published year ngo
brought the rtory up to April, 1918.
The second volume ends with the re-
lection Of the treaty by the Senate in
November, 1910. IL contains the story
OF the fighting by American troops In
France. Full details of the signing
Of the armistice are given, along with
the story Of the premature report that
that report came to be sent out. 1t
tells Of the discussion in the Senate re-
garding the propriety of the visit Of
the President to Europe. The COM
ment of the newspapers Is freely quoted,
not only on this but on many other
matters. The history of the first pub
lication Of the text of the Versailles
treaty is recounted and there Is an
exhaustive resume Of the debates on
the treaty in the Senate. An appendix
contains the armistice terms, the first
and second drafts Of the covenant OF
the League of Nations and the resolu-
tion Of ratification rejected by the Sen
ate in November.
The two volumes give complete and
detailed record that will be OF great
value to present day students Of the
part which we took in the war. In
the course of time. when the difficulty
of consulting newspaper reports and
the Congressional Record increases it
will supply to the historian data which
he can find nowhere else assembled In
such convenient form or with such
n full realization of the Importance OF
telling the whole story of what was
done, so far as it Is known at the pres
ent time.

THE ART FIGHTING
Rear admiral Fiske, U. S. ~,
Writes Comprehensive
Monograph

An informative and comprehensive
manual on the military art is com
pressed into the small compass of an
average sized book which the author,
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, U. 8:
n. (retired). entities '"The Art Of
Fighting" Although Admiral Fiske's
practical experience has been in and
with the naval arm Of the service, he
Is widely read and deeply versed in the
theories and history Of the other arm,
to which, Of course, the main sub
stance Of such a general book as he has
written is necessarily devoted.
Admiral Fiske considers war and
combat, strategic and tactical, over a
period that spans human history from
Rameses to Foch. His method Of treat
ment makes his chapters both intelli-
gible and interesting to general readers
as we'll as illuminating and valuable
to those Of more technical concern in the
subject. He foreShadows his method in
the complete title: ''The Art Of Fight
ing: Its Evolution and Progress, With
Illustrations from the Campaigns Of
Great Commanders" He begins with a
discussion Of fighting between individual
the art Of war from that stage to the
present and shows that, although the
weapons and methods of war have
changed, the same principles that gov
crned a fight between two savages, or
two primeval tribes, govern modern bat
ties between the greatest fleets or
armies.
The book is especially timely now
that it is seriously proposed to put at
the head of both our army and navy
men who are trained for that work
instead Of more or less able lawyers,
editors and farmers. Admiral Fiske
could not tell the story of the brain
element in fighting without arriving at
the conclusion he. reaches in the closing
chapters Of his book.
1t is divided into three main parts
Fighting and War in General, Histor
ical Illustrations, and Strategy. Its
scope and character may be indicated
by the following chapter headings
Fighting Between individuals; Fighting
Between Tribes; Gradual Development
of the Art of Fighting; Principles Of
the Art of Fighting; Thutmose III
Rameses II !; Miltiades and Themistocles
Philip Of Macedon and Alexander, his
Son Caesar; Charlemagne. William
and Marlborough Frederick George
