I a. .1 t' rf L- GROWTH Of FOfllteE CROPS Earlv and Vigorous Growth of age Crops In This County. Evidence That North Dakota Will Raise Valuable Feed Crops. For- Soil Timothy, Bromis Grass and Alfalfa Can Be Grown With little Difficulty- Although it is early in the season those farmers who have put in is grass and alfalfa are more than pleased with the results of the growth of those crops. On B.

W. Fuller's river pi. north of town can be seen growing in the same field three tine forage crops timothy, bromis grass and alfalfa, showing what cap be raised in this county with a little care and cultivation. The ground consists of about 20 acres divided to cleared and wooded parts. The brush were cleared from the woods and bromis sowed which is thick in most places on the ground and has already headed out, even where it is shady.

The crop resembles ab a tance, as every one knows, an oat field. In the cleared parts of the land most of the bromis is very heavy and Will yield a big crop being lodged in a good many places, the growth is so rank. The Turkish alfalfa in the same field is'mostly over 2 feet high and the bromis nearly four feet high. The latter crop will soon be cut for the first time although it is not yet the middle of June. Another part of the field shows a line growing crop of timothy, which will yield heavy also.

On Mr. Fuller's large farm south of the city there are about 200 acres of bromis which has taken the place of weeds and brush and is growing fully as well as on the older field north of the city. A small field of alfalfa has also been started on tne south farm and bromis is a great weed ator. On the Clark farm south of £1dridge is a ten acre field of alfalfa growing well on the upland, showing that it is not necessary to have tom land to raise the crop. These experiments conducted bv good farmers show the capacity of North Dakota soil to raise valuable feed crops, and every farmer who can get afield of either alfalfa or bromis well started will have a sure dependance for winter or summer feed.

The growth is so vigorous and early that no other feed crop can compare with either of the above crops. KULM CREAMERY. Kulm Messenger: President George W. Brown and Vice President George SamDson of the Kulm Creamery pany were in town the latter part of last week attending to the business affairs of the company. President Brown, on being asked how ery matters stood, spoke tically of the great increase in the butter output and of the unusual terest which had developed in that industry.

He said: "The Kulm creamery is making over 150 tubs of butter per week, HOW. The pay roll for May amounted to $6,000. VVe now have 375' patrons on our list, and new ones are coming every day." Mr. Brown also said that the Jamestown creamery, only started a few weeks ago, was already ing twice a day. TOOK KENSAL MAN'S MONEY CLAIMED THAT JOH1S CARROL TOUCHED kENSAL MAN FOR $60.

Minneapolis, June Carrol was arrested last night and locked up in the central police station on a charge of larceny. Carrol is suspected of being the man who relieved C. E. Richardson of Kensal. N.

The stranger seemed to be very intimate with Baxter and Richardson supposed he was a friend of his and was not- surprised when he came to his bedroom to talk with him one night. He was ished, however, and somewhat ed to find that with the stranger's departure his money was also ing. He asked Baxter if his friend was -11 right, and when ne learned that CASTOR IA For Infiuiti and Children.

I WILL START SHEEP RANCH. J. B. Smith expects to leave in a short time for Montana to ly 2,500 head of sheep to put on the range in tnis county. He, and a partner in the deal, have secured a section of plow land and three sections of wild land about two miles from Ypsiianti, on the west side of the river, and have a lease of the range for five years.

It will be the largest ranch that Mr. Smith will have in the county, and arrangements will be made to care for the sheep during the winter if necessary. STOLE TONY'S HORSE. I Minot Optic: Sheriff Scofield left on last night's northbound Soo train for Portal, where he had succeeded in apprehending a horse thief, who got away from Anamoose a week ago with a horse belonging to Tony Haas. He reacned here about Friday and left the animal in "McDonald's livery barn and hiring a horse from him started out north.

Several clays passed and nothing ing heard of the fellow, the sheriff was put to work on the case and soon found his man located at Portal, but without the team taken from the McDonald barn here. lie was arrested and held by the Portal officers for Scofield's arrival. The stolen horse he evidently disposed of before reaching Portal. The Anamoose man came' to the city Saturday and after iden-' tifying his property returned home with the animal. KILLED BY TRAIN.

HORSE THIEF LOCATED. Minot Optic: Frank O'Brien, who was doing time in the Ward county jail and took advantage of the porary absence of Sheriff Scofied at Jamestown, to walk away, has been located by the latter at Estavan, Manitoba. Before returning with the.Portal horse thief, it is expected the sheriff will go across the line and induce O'Brien, who is being held there by Canadian officials, to return with him and serve out sentence. In case he should decide to do this, an effort will be made to have him extradited and compel him to return to Ward county.

Taylor, the Held agent of the division of pomological investigation in the depart-' mcnt of agriculture at Washington, aeems to work, says the New York Post, pis idea was abundantly made good when a cargo of russet applea was sent to Paris a month or two ago and sold for prices 40 per cent above what the same fruit would have brought In the home market. It is said to have been the first time that applea were ever taken out of cold storage at that season of the year and marketed in Europe.

Why russets should have been chosen for the experiment has puzzled many observers, but for sons best known to themselves sian apple eaters had taken a great fancy to russet apples and wanted nothing else when these could be got. It was at the suggestion of the pomological division that this kind of fruit was shipped, and the sequel proved the soundness of the Judgment. A large fruit farmer in southern linois complained last fall that he was getting next to nothing for his hard red winter apples. He carried his plaint to Mr. Taylor, whom he knew, and asked for advice about sending them abroad.

"London," said Mr. lor, "has a taste for some other tilings no more wonderful." "Would you be willing to take a car load of my apples and put tliom down in Loudon linden government auspices if I'll guarantee the exepense?" suggested the orchardist. "That is what wo are lusce for." answered tlie pomologist. So a car load was made up. Tlie apples wore eagerly bought in London for what more than $." a barrel, which, after all cost of harvesting, packing with especial care, railroad tion to the seacoast, left a very neat return to the owner of the or chard.

It did not take long for other Illinois farme.rs to catch the idea, and before the winter was over thousands of barrels from that part of the try found their way to the London market. The pomologists at the department had an idea that summer apples, too, would sell in London. We have so many apples in the United States which ripen in midsummer and are delicious to eat, but highly perishable, that it seemed worth while to try to do thing with them, and recent ments of the department with peach shipments had shown that it was sible to send very tender fruit a long distance without spoiling it. Delaware apples wore chosen and were packed In quart baskets like peaches, and the baskets carefully laid in crates, all under the eye of the Washington fessionals. They went safely and brought about double the price the partment people had dared to estimate for them.

The next object lesson was arranged for the benefit of the pear culturists of Niagara county, N. Y. The ment undertook to see that its can clients should receive not less than the best home market price for their Bartletts. The experts supervised the wrapping and packing, personally ducted the cargo to London and put It up at public auction. Once more their expectations were justilied.

The experiments made with Delaware and Georgia peaches not only have been successful in a pecuniary sense, but have taught shippers here a great deal that they had not guessed before about the possibilities of storing such tender fruit In refrigerated warehouses not merely for ten days or a fortnight, but for five or six weeks, and bringing them out hard and bright and fit for all market conditions. It was simply a question of knowing how and knowing the scientific reason of the how. Congress appreciates what the partment has been doing in these lines and has of late kept it supplied with appropriations for Just such work. The fruit shipping demonstrations are to be broadened this season so as to Include strawberries, gooseberries, plums and cherries. There are also to be some experiments with the cold storage of lemons.

The department is now laying its plans for a pretty big attempt in which some lemon growers in California, a transcontinental road with a terminus iu Chicago and a storage company in the latter city will be parties, the government standing loss shall be involved, but the lemon growers getting any profit that may be netted in the end. Later experiments will be made with oranges, which are supposed to be easier to keep than lemons. There i9 an additional interest attaching to the stored orange from the fact that the court honors in Europe are already ginning to be paid to the California ange in competition with the oranges of all pther parts of the world. Cold storage of fruit is comparatively unknown in Europe. We date our great advances in that direction from the Paris exposition of 1900, when in order to exhibit American fresh fruit in perfection our department of culture had a special compartment built for It in a meat storage house at Havre.

The fruit was stored in New York, drawn upon as needed, shipped in refrigerating steamers to Southampton and thence out of storage to Havre. LOW SUMMER TOURIST RATES. Via Cnicago Great Western way.

Chicago, 111. mwm RAILWAY MOTOR COACHES. Latent Development of Locomotive EnicfneeriiMr Iu Llffht Truffle. The announcement that steam motor I coaches an to bo introduced on tlie I Great Western railway of England In July points to an interesting ment in locomotive engineering, says I the London Daily Mail. The London and Southwestern Steam company already built and tried a steam motor Coach, and a vehicle of a somewhat similar character will apparently be adopted by the Great Western pany.

The London and Southwestern I Bteam motor coach is destined for use on suburban or main lines at those I periods of the day when there is great rush of traffic. Heavy morning and evening trallic will bo disposed of by the usual trains, but when passengers are lew in ber the motor coach will be used. The Great Western motor coaches will ry iifty-t wo persons of one class only, but the L. and S. W.

vehicle will be vided into two compartments, first and third, carrying ten passengers in the former and thirty-two in the latter. Access may be had to the coach at both ends from wide platforms, which have openings on either side, these ing closed when running by ble gates. There is a luggage van ble of holding one ton of luggage, and immediately in front of this is the gine. This is of exceedingly compact design. The boiler is placed on the center line and is of the vertical type, with vertical and cross tubes.

The cylinders are inclined, aiul the ing rods drive direct on to pins on 11 front wheels. A separate drag link serves to work the valve gear. There are no flexible steam couplings, tho boiler and the cylinders being on the same frame. The wheel base is eight feet, and the wheels are soiid. The cylinders, of which there are two.

are seven inches in diameter, with a ten inch stroke. It is calculated that in service the rate of acceleration will give the coach a velocity of thirty miles an hour in thirty seconds. TRIUMPH OF OUR HENS. Have a Biff Lead In International Ekk Luylng Tournament. Wofd comes from Australia that the eighteen hens sent from the United States to compete with the hens of that land in an egg laying contest have distanced their rivals and are still ing, says a Chicago special to the New York Times.

Three coops of six hens each were sent from Chicago in February and rived in Sydney on March 18 after a particularly trying voyage. They were immediately set to laying in tion with some sixty-five others. Miller Purvis, editor of Commercial Poultry, recently received a report of the progress of the contest from A. A. Dunnicliffe, of the Sydney graph.

The report states that the three pens of American hens stand first, second and fourth respectively on the tally sheet, the leaders having such a start of their rivals that it is ful if the latter can catch up. The test will last one year, and the owners of winners will receive appropriate prizes. PIANO PLAYING MATCH. 3t. LOUIH anil Mnsiclnnn to Thump the Ke on Sf-'IOI) GENUINE Uet.

A ooiitust in sharps and Hats, ragtime und waltz, popular and classical music, is to be hold in St. Louis this summer to decide the long endurance piano playing championship of the world, says'the'Chicago IJecord-IIerald. fessor J. M. Waterbury of St.

Louis and Paul Scheiderer of Milwaukee, who recently claimed he had played twenty-eight hours without a break, will be the competitors. The match is to be for $300 a side. Waterbury made his first record in 1893 at the club. New York, playing eighteen hours. He soon after made a record of twenty-five hours.

Waterbury then met all comers when the forfeit money was deposited. Only once has he stopped to hear his nent play. For Over Sixty Tears.

Necessity for Their Existence Being Looked Into. Washington, June sistant Postmaster General Bristow has instituted an investigation of the circumstances governing the lishment and maintenance of all the branch stations and sub-stations of postoffices throughout the country. The object is to determine the sity of such stations and whether fluence or collusion of any sort tween officials and outside parties are responsible for their existence. The recent acknowledgment of General SVilliam W.

Postmaster Van Cott of New York has been called upon for a report on the apparently excessive number of cashiers and similar employes in the New York office. The department cials want information as to the duties of the incumbents of the New York office and other data with a view to correcting any abuses that may exist. BIG STRIKE THREATENED. New York Bricklayers Will Press Their Demands. New York, June first eral strike of bricklayers this city has seen in twenty years is now ened.

There are 8,000 men belonging to the eight unions. The latter inally demanded of all the employers an increase from 65 to 70 cents an hour and that all men should join the union. After some exchanges the first demand was withdrawn. The ers have now refused to have their foremen become unionists and, at a meeting of the eight lodges, it has been decided to press both of the original demands. Until this clash occurred an annual agreement on all matters has been made between the bricklayers and the Mason Builders' association through a joint arbitration board, sisting of eight bricklayers and eight mason builders.
