SKATING The Bemidji Monday Eve., Dec. 7. A cash prize of $5 to the best lady skater; also a prize to the bast gentleman skater THE PUBLIC WILL JUDGE Judging to take place at 9 p. m sharp MR. BURNS IS HERE and will introduce the latest Eastern suc- cess, The Grand March, which wiil be one of the features of the evening’s entertain= ment, AT CONTEST Roller Rink MANY 600D POINTERS AT FARMERS' INSTITUTE Continued from First Page The three most important features of the dairy barn are: First, warmth, The cows must be kept comfortable in winter. Protect them from the cold, if theyare to give profitable returns. The barn should be so warm that water would not freeze at all during the winter. The second feature of the dairy barn is to have it so arranged that the cows can be kept clean, and for this a gutter is absolutely necessary. This need not be expensive, and a good gutter may be made of cement, and with little expense. Another good feature in the dairy barnislight. This can be provided with but little expense, as a window generally costs no more than the material in the wall if the window was not there. For winter feed, roots should be provided. Roots may be grown at a cost of $1.50 per ton, or from $22 to $25 per acre. One acre of land, properly cared for, will yield from fifteen to twenty tons. Five tons of roots are equal in value to a ton of bran or shorts. The five tons of roots will cost $7.50; the ton of bran or shorts will cost, at the present time, $25. Thus the advisibility of growing roots. When roots are fed in winter time there is no need of stock foods, which in reality are only medicines. Roots for winter is very much in the nature of grass in summer. Regularity ip time for milking is also important, in having the cow do her best work, and the result is better than when the work is done with irregularity. Farmers frequently lose a great deal by leaving the cows out-doors in the winter. They should be kept in the barn. If necessary to water them out-doors, the question is, how long should they be left out? The rule to follow in this is to Jeave the ‘Iong as you would care to be out without working or without an over- coat. This is a rule that is easy to remember. Mr. Brown took up the subject of potato-growing, and explained methods of growing potatoes. He advocated the importance of growing the same variety through- out the neighborhood so that they might be shipped in carload lots. This he stated was very important for the reason that buyers would often discriminate to the extent of ten or fifteen cents per bushel be- tween a carload of potatoes of one variety and a mixed lot. Farmers that grew several varie- ties in the same neighborhood al- ways have trouble in getting markets, due to the fact that they do not grow enough individually to ship in carload lots and having a miscellaneous collection the mer- chants cannot handle them to good advantage. Grow the same variety in the neighborhood, and select the best potatoes for seed, as the crop will be as is the seed. Farmers that complain of their potatoes running out, find this trouble due to the fact that they select their seed potatoes from the cellar bin after the best potatoes have been used during the winter. Seed potatoes should be selected in the fall. Select just such potatoes as will bring best prices on the market. Potatoes do best when grown on a clover sod. The best results are obtained when the clover sod is plowed in the fall. Land should be worked thoroughly in the spring before the potatoes are planted. Cultivation is nearly as important then as when the crop isup. The cultivation of the potato after the crop has attained a height of six or more inches should be shallow, as deep cultivation hurts the roots of the potato, and lessens the yield of the crop. He discussed diseases that pota- toes are subject to, such as scab and cows out doors in the winter only as|blight, and told the farmers that i the co-operative specific information as to the use of preventatives, etc.,, could be ob- tained at the Experiment Station, St. Anthony Park. McLaren took up the subject of horticulture and also co-operation among the farmers. He explained the co-operation which they have been practicing in his home neighborhood. This has brought about splendid results. It is based upon community organiza- tion. He believed that before the county or state could co-operate the farmers in each community must co-operate. The meth&d in his community is for not only the.farmers to practice co-operation, but also the farmers’ wives and children. In that way meetings would always be better attended and each member of the family would ‘be interested in going. The meeting in his community, instead of being held in a public hall, were being held at the farmers’ places. Generally, only twelve families consitute an organization, which holds a meeting once a month; thus the meeting could be held at each farmer’s place oncé a year. This concluded the afternoon session and the institute was ad-| journed, sine die. In speaking of the institute held this year, Mr. McGuire said to the Pioneer: “Last year, at the Farfiers’ Insti- tute held in Bemidji, there was only a_total attendance of 44, which was discouraging, owing to the fact that the state had gone to considerable expense in sending speakers for this work. The increased number of 150 reports well for efforts being made towards improvement among the farmers in this section of the state; and the hearty manner in which your businers men co-operated to make the institute a success shows that they are rapidly learning that the progressive farmer, who conducts his place intelligently, is the future bulwark of this northern Minnesota.” Bought a Sawmill. Joe Steidl, a prominent farmer liv- ing about two miles north of this city, spent the last few days in Bemidji closing a deal whereby he becomes the owner of a portable sawmill in the Town of Frohn and 100,000 feet of lumber. Mr. Steidl bought the mill and lumber from James Barr of Peters- berg, N. Dak,, for a consideration of $1450. Mr. Steidl will continue to operate the mill until he has finished plan- ing the lumber and will then set up the machinery on his own farm where he will use it during this win- ter.

Bemidg” basketball team defeated Floodwood last even- ing for the second time in the series of two games which were oh Be- midji’s schedule for the basketball championship of northern Minne- sota. The score of the game was 15 to 9, in favor of Be- midji, and the play was fast and furious, all the way through, Bemidji winning by superior team work as well as individual play. Joe Markham acted as referee the first half, with C. L. Warren as um- pire. The second half was refereed by Roy Lindsey, while Markham played with Bemidji. All officiated very fairly. The following was the line-un of the two teams: Floodwood—H. Brandmire and J? Brandmire, forwards; Carey, center; Butler and Cranbrook, guards. “Big Bemidg”—Geil and Heffron and Markham, forwards; Brown, center; Petterson and Biddinger, guards. Before the game the visiting players asserted that they would play a much stronger game than was played the previous evening, and they certainly put forth every effort to win the game. In the first half Bemidji made 11 points. Heffron threw two nice field baskets; Harry Geil threw a fine field basket and three fouls, and Biddinger put the ball in the basket after a long throw. For Floodwood H. Brandmire threw a splendid field basket and Carey, the big center, got one over Brown’s head. The half ended 11 to 6, in favor of Bemidji. In the second half, Heffron was yanked out of the game and Mark-| ham was put in as forward to play with Geil. Tke game in this half developed into a desperate struggle for supremacy and many times the play resembled football more than basketbill, and many fouls were committed. B Bemidji made only four points in this half, Geil throwing one field basket and two fouls. No other member of the team scored a point, in this half. The visiting players made three points in the second half, all of which were free from fouls. The final score of the game was 15 to 9 in favor of “Big Bemidg.” Married by H. A. Simons. Judge H. A. Simons last evening officiated as a “knot-tier” in uniting in the holy bonds of matrimony Albert J. Orr and Miss Jane E. Lovejoy, both of Bemidji. W. R. Mackenzie and the editor of this great family necessity acted inthe capacity of witnesses and we can trulysay that the judge with that benign countenence of his cer- tainly did the job in a very exped- ious manner. We surmise that Brother Macken- zie would like to haveusurped the judge’s prerogative(?)—he didn’t. Mr. and Mrs. Orr will make their home'in this vicinity. THE ELKS’ GHARITY BALL WILL BE HELD DEC. 16 Date Changed from Dec. 11th.—Fam- ous Ainsworth Orchestra Secured to Play for Dance. The committees, who are arrang- ing for the Elks’ Annual Charity ball, have decided to give the ball on December 16, instead of Decem- ber 11, as was originally intended. The changing of the date was made in order that the Elks might have the services of the famous Ainsworth orchestra of Minneapolis. This famous musical organization is touring the northwest and as they are to play at Crookston and other cities near here, it was ascertained that they could so arrange their dates that they could play at a ball to be given here on the night of December 16. The organization will give several selections (a sort of concert) before the dance and they wiil furnish music for the ball. The committees are working together very harmonously and from present indications the Elk’s Annual Charity Ball promises to be one of the most successful events of the kind ever held in this city. As there are 126 members of the local lodge and as undoubtedly all of them will take tickets, it is .cer- tain that there: will be a splendid attendance at the dance. The invitations are being issued today and each Elk is allowed to invite a friend, but any one who attends the ball must produce an invitation, together with a numbered ticket, before they will be allowed to participate in the dance. The following are the committees who have charge of the dance: Executive Committee—]. O. Har- ris, J. C. Parker, W. J. Markham. Printing Committee—A. G. Rut- ledge A. B. Allen, W. N. Bowser. Decorating Committee—]. C. Parker, J. H. Foss, Bert Barker, A. L. Wyler, Eric Ives, Dr. Palmer. Music—E. H, Jerrard, A. P. White, W. L. Brooks, F. S. Lycan. Floor—Bert Barker, Oscar Ervig, W. L.

ARGUMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE IN INDIAN SUIT An InJunction Is Sought to Prevent the Patenting of Swamp Lands in Minnesota. Washington, Dec. 4.—The case of Beaulieu against Garfield, an injunc- tion suit brought by C. E. Richard- son, an attorney for the Indians, to prevent the secretary of the interior from patenting to the state of Min- nesota swamp lands in ceded reser- vations, . was argued today, extra time having been allowed the attor- neys on account of the importance of the interests involved. The full bench of the court of appeals heard the arzument, but refused to hear a discussion of points of jurisdiction, capacity of appellant to sue, and whether or not the state should be a party, practically dis- missed the demurrer upon which the court below rendered its decision. The court of appeals took the case under advisement on its merits, and Mr. Richardson is -hopeful of ulti- mate success. Bereman Cafe Opens Monday.
