honey 50 that the grade Of the pro-
duct would be accepted universally.
With the adoption otbthe new grader
1t is now possible to take uniform
sample Of honey from any apiary and
have it graded locally, the grade Of
which viii be accepted on any domes-
tic or foreign market.
Beekeepers should keep in mind,
points out Mr.. Munro, that the grad
err grades for color only. Color is
an important thing for both the bee
keeper. and the purchaser, since most
honey of the western states rates
uniformly high in flavor and body.
The, purchase Of this honey grader
is due largely to requests from bee
keepers in the state. They suggested
that a central office purchase the
grader which might be Of service to
all beekeepers. This suggestion was
made by large number Of beemen
since the summer meeting Of the bee
keepers at Cando, N. D. Due to the
original cost of the grading instru-
ment it would be rather expensive
for the individual beekeeper to grade
his own honey. Mr.. Munro adds.
Beekeepers who wish to know the
grades on their honey can have it
by sending samples containing Mt
least four ounces to the department
of entomology at the North Dakota
Agricultural college. This service is
free.

Select Plants in
Saving Tomato Seed

Select the tomato plant instead
of the individual tomato when saw
ing tomatoes for seed" says Prof. A..
+. Yeager. horticulturist at the North
Dakota Agricultural college. IF the
plant is desirable, then the tomatoes.
even though some Of them are small,
will reproduce good plants the fol-
lowing year." he adds.
"The tomatoes must be ripe before
taken for seed Each tomato is cut
in two and the seed and pulp are
squeezed out into dish. The seeds
and pulp are left in warm place to
ferment for three days. They are
then stirred until some Of the pulp
separates from the seeds. Pour off
some Of the top pulp and then add
water to the seeds, This process is
repeated for several days until all
the pulp has been d3canted from the
seeds. The seedSs may then be
spread out on paper to dry in read
mess for the following spring." con-
cludes Mr.. Yeager.

BY o. &. LIBBY
President Jefferson planned the
Lewis and Clark expedition for three
principal reasons He wished to take
actual possession Of the Louisiana
purchase and give notice to France,
Spain and England that the transfer
Of ownership was reality and not
mere form. He planned, also, to
enter into friendly relations with
the Indian tribes Of the -'egion and
make it plain TO them that there had
been a transfer Of authority to
a new power
He was espec tally anxious that the
Missouri tribes be given to under
stand what had happened and that
the English fur trading companies
cease their active propaganda among
their Indian customers in favor OF
England and against the United
States.
The third purpose that President
Jefferson had in mind was that Of
having the expedition cross the
Rockies to the Pacific and establish
claim to the Columbia valley and
thus checkmate any move England
might make of this kind through her
fur traders or explorers like Alex
Mackenzie and Simon Fraser.
All three Of these purposes were
admirable carried out by the two
leaders Of the expedition. The Eng
fish fur traders at the Five Villages
on the Missouri river were warned
that their political activities were
not to be continued. Fort Clatsop
on the west coast was built and occu-
pied by the members Of the expedf-
ton during the winter Of l805-O6.
The Indians throughout the entire
territory traversed by the expedition
were met in council, treaties were
planned and the authority VI the
y. s. was extended over them.
Jefferson Was Keen Observer
President Jefferson was more than
merely the head Of government, he
was also q keen scientific observer
