2 | | | | | | | L — DON'T The COUNTY SHERIFF A Two Act Comedy Sketch The Hit of the Season FAIL TO ATTEND | INTERESTING EULLETIN ON RAISING STOCK ROOTS A. J. McGuire, Superintendent of Northeast Experiment Station, Gives Some Interesting ‘‘Pointers” as to How Stock Roots Were Raised on the Farm. Stock roots under ordinary field conditions yield from 10 to 15 tons per acre; from 330 to 550 bushels. When the soil is very fertile, and given extra care, they may be made to yield as high as 50 tons, or| 1000 bushels per acre. | The cost of growing roots, taking everything into consideration such as value of, cost of machinery; seed, labor, etc., need not exceed $25 per acre, or from $1 to $1.75 per ton. Two acres of stock roots are| grown on the Experimental Farm} every year. These are grown in a rotation with barley, clover and]| peas. i They are sown with a garden drill | in rows 24 inches apart. When the! plants appear above ground they are | gone over with a wheel hoe, and later with a horse cultivater every | week thruout the growing season. | When the plants are about two inches high they are thinned out, a common hand hoe being used for this purpose. The stock car- rot is thinned to 8 inches, and the| rutabaga and mangle to 12. Thin-| ing the plants early with the hoe, lessens the hand thinning later. ! With the plants well apart they are much easier kept clean, and their yield is greater than when grown thickly. In pulling the roots in the fall they are laid even in the row with the tops all one way. The topping is then done with a corn knife, cut- ting the tops of two and three with a single stroke. The roots that arefed early in the fall before they are put in the root cellar may be fed tops and all thus lessening the labor. In storing the roots for winter a cellar is necessary, and should be in connection with the barn for con- venience in feeding. Roots that are to be fed in October, November and the fore part of December may be piled on the ground near the barn and covered over with straw | and litter sufficiently to keep from freezing. In storing the roots ina cellar care must be taken toremove as |much of the dirt as possible to avoid heating. The more free from dirt the better they will keep. Infeeding carrots and mangles to stock it is desirable to cut them but not necessary. When the fall work is rushing they may be fed whole, but later when time is ample it is advisable to cut them. Mangles, sugar beets, stock car- rots and rutabagas have been com- pared on the Experiment Farm. On high well-drained soil and a favor- able season, mangles give the largest yield, but on low ground and ina cold wet spring are apt to fail. This is also true of the sugar beet. Stock carrots have never failed to produce a crop. Rutabagas are {also very hardy but objectionable for dairy cows. Taking all conditions, the stock carrot is recommended for this section of the state. Rutabagas may be grown for sheep, pigs and young stock, but either the stock carrot or mangle for dairy cows. A sandy loam soil is best for roots. Itshould be well manured. In preparing the seed bed, harrow thoroughly immediately after plow- ing as the soil is most easily pul- verized at that time. It is also well to plank or roll it before seed- ing as the garden drill is difficult to work in uneven ground. A garden drill is the first thing that should be secured in preparing to grow roots. With a garden drill an acre jcan be sown in half a day. A good drill may be bought for $8 or $10. Two or more farmers may buy one in co-operation to good advantage. In seeding sow plenty of seed the surplus may be thinned out easily. For carrots or rutabagas sow from 1% to 2 pounds per acre for mangles 15 to 10 pounds.

All weights, in light and dark materials of different lengths. Overcoats from the 1907 line in two classes. The $22.00 and $20.00 Values Medium weight $12.50. The $15.00 and $18.00 Values $8.50. The time to plant will depend up- on the season, from May 10 to June 10. Carrots and rutabagas may be sown as late as July and a good crop secured, but earlier planted is safer. Grow roots. The money you spend on one ton of bran or shorts produce’from four to five times as much feed. Live stock of all kinds need some succulent feed in winter to" be healthy. - When roots are fed there will be no need for expensive stock foods and medicines. Grow roots. They have a food value not only in themselves but also in the effect they have on other feeds fed in con- nection with them, making them more digestable and nutritious. A. 1.

BILLY PAPKE GIVEN THE DECISION OVER KELLY Winning Entities Papke to Fight Stan- ley Ketchell for the Middle- weight Championship. Milwaukee, Wis., 17.—Billy Papke of Spring Valley, Ill, was awarded the decision over Hugh Kelley of Chicago in a ten round bout at the Hippodrome under the auspices of the Milwaukee Boxing club last night. The bout went the limit. Papke’s win over Kelly entitles him to battle with Stantley Ketchell of Grand Rapids, Mich., for the mid- dleweight championship. The fight was almost a succession of clinching and infighting from the start tothe finish. Papke earned his victory principally by knocking Kelly down in the first round for a couwnt of twb, and in the infighting thereatter was the agaressor. He carried the fight to Kelly and worked his famous’ corkscrew uppercut with considerable frequency. No Case on Record.

PRESIDENT'S ACT VETOED House Restores “In God We Trust” to Coins. ‘Washington, March 17.—Under sus- pension of the rules the house of rep- resentatives passed the bill providing for the restoration of the motto “In God We Trust” on gold and silver coins of the United States. The bill Wwas passed by a vote of 255 to 5. The debate on the subject excited the liveliest interest of members. Mr. Carlin (Va.) sald that in the issuance of his order abolishing the motto Pres- 1dent Roosevelt had acted unwisely and in violation of the spirit of the law. Mr. Ollie James (Ky.) declared that in the judgment of the Christlan peo- ple of the United States the president had made a great mistake. In opposing the bill Mr. Kuster- mann (Wis.) said that the motto smacked of irreverence which went dangerously close to sacrilege. “Its & piece of farcical hypocrisy,” ejaculated Mr. Gordon (Ga.). One minute spesches in favor of the bill ‘were made by Messrs. Moore (Pa.), Shephard (Tex.), Edwards (Ga.), El- lerbe (S. C.), Pearre (Md.) and Gard- ner (Mich.). i NOTICE ON SPECIAL ELECTION of Independent School District of Bemidji. ‘Whereas a petition has been presented to the undersigned, as clerk of said district, re- questing that a special meeting of the legal voters of sald district be called at the time m"d'nl:fia. and for the purposes hereinafter set; forth, Now therefore, notice is hereby given, that a special election of the legal voters of Inde- fiendenn school district of Bemidji will be eld at the Central school he block four (4) of the First Addition to Be- midjf, in the city of Bemidji, Beltrami county, Minnesota, on Friday, the 27th day of March, 1908, at four o’clock p. m. for the. pur- pose of voting upon the proposition of pur- chasing the tract of land hereinafter de- Seribed for & sohool site aAd. the erecton of & high school building thereon, in said school district, and that the bonds of said school district. in the amount of thirty-five thous- and dollars (835,000), in_denominations of one thousand dollars (§1,000) each. bearing interest, at the rate of five (5) per cent per annum, payable in fifteen years from date of issue, interest payable semi-annually, be issued for the purchase of said site and the erection of the sald high school building thereon..

Bpokane, Wash.,, March 17.—Dis- guising himself and claiming to be a postoffice inspector a bandit obtained admittance to the postal car on the Great Northern Oriental limited at Bonners Ferry, Ida., overpowered the clerks at the point of a gun, locked one in a closet, bound the other and put him under the'table and calmly robbed the through registered mail pouches while the train was proceed- ing to Spokane. During the run to Seattle of over 100 miles, which required over six hours’ riding, the robber received the mail at the three stations where the train stopped and threw off the paper mail. Just before the train entered the yards of Spokane the bandit leaped from the car and with his booty in a small satchel, which he carried when he entered the coach at Bonners Ferry, made his escape. Six registered malil sacks were cut and their contents taken. All were for points on the coast, the sacks for Spokane not being disturbed. It is not known how much money and other valuables the bandit obtained, but he is supposed to have made & big haul. HOLD UP PURSUERS. Oklahoma Bandits Disarm Three Men Who Were After Them.
