So they won't be afraid to throw their hats in the ring, we opine. x21 — Apropos of the remark made by an illustrious divine recently that few lazy people get into Heaven, the Walker Pilot regretfully haz- ards that “apparently the only way to stand in with the Lord is to work like the devil.” —— The Northome Record appeared this week with two extra pages of patent intestines, also with the frank explanation by the Old Man Hereof that fishin’ is good up North- ome way “and no feller can fish right and get out a big newspaper too.” , ‘ ————__——_— Mr. Roosevelt, in his anxiety to “rescue the country” via the third- term route reminds one of the hen- turkey im the story. This anxious fowl believed herself the only hen- turkey on earth and thought that with her rested the responsibility of perpetuating her race. Accordingly she insisted on “setting’’ on twice a@s many eggs as nature, in drawing the ground-plan of a turkey, meant that she should. The consequence was that every last egg addled, and never one of them hatched out at all. —— The stream of homeseekers in this section of northern Minnesota is steadily increasing, the record for April bidding fair to exceed that of March by a large number. More pec‘ ple are coming to occupy new lands in Itasca county than have been recorded for many years past. Fifty Good morning! ed “girlitis” yet? No, it isn't a new diseese, simply a mew name for an old one. Girlitis is the kind of germ that makes a man stay up nights; spend money for shows, chocolates, form in the spring months. You recognize it? Yes, I thought so. Several young men in Grand Rapids have it in an advanced stage and noticed “in our midst” with simi- lar symptoms. I rather that the lecturer on public didn’t say something apout it the other evening, particularly as the jseason for canoeing, hammocks and moonlit porches is nearly here. A great many of the attacks are said joke. While I am about it, girls, I want to warn you that Lillian Rus- sell has just announced that kissing spoils the shape of the lips. course, any girl who feels that she ought not to trust to mere hearsay on a matter of this kind can in- vestigate the subject persanally.

GLOVER IS BEST OF FERTILIZERS |It Enriches the Soil While Farnish- ing a Valuable Feed | Says Expert Clover is one of the most valuable feeds that the farmer can grow. It | is rich in protein, that muscle-build- ing and milk-producing constituent of feeds, and can to a large extent re- place mill4eeds rich in protein, such | as bran, shorts and oil-meal, in the ration. Alfalfa is slightly richer in protein than red clover, but does not fit so well into a rotation, and is not so generally adapted to the vari- | ous soils of Minnesota. It will pay to grow clover.as a feed j but, in addition to its feeding value, the fertilizing value of the roots and stubble of clover makes the land upon which it was grown richer in both humus and nitrogen than it was be- fore. The fact that larger crops could be grown after clover than af- ter grasses.or.other crops,.was known long before the exact reason.for the fact was determined. It wag finally discovered, in the latter part of the 19th century, that certain bacteria, present on the roots of clover, and evidenced by the presence of swell- ings or nodules, had the power of tak ing the free nitrogen of the air (about four-fifths by volume of the air is nitrogen), and making it avail- | RED TAG STOCK REDUCTION SALE In going through the stock we find hundreds, yes, thousands of dollars worth of merchandise that must be sold at once in order to bring the stock down to the size it ought to be.

Since this discovery, the growing of clover has vastly increased, until now the | growing of clover or other legumes | is recognized as the corner stone of | any permanent system of agriculture. Nitrogen is one of the three most ; most expensive, and the first to be- come deficient in our soils. The.oth two are phosphorus and potassium. | Commercial] fertilizers contain one or more of these three elements. You can buy nitrogen in the form of nitrate of soda, and the nitrogen will cost you 18 cents a pound, or | you can buy it as dried blood, and it will cost you about 16 cents a.pound. | A crop of 20 bushels of wheat, to- | gether with the straw, removes about 35 pounds of nitrogen from the soil. | To replace this by means cf commer- | cial fertilizer, so as to keep up the fertility of the soil, would cost $6.30 per acre. Clover, if grown in rotation, once in three to five years, and when cut for hay, will leave enough nitrogen in its roots to keep up the nitrogen content of the soil, replacing all that has been removed by the other crops grown in the rotation; and, in addition, it keeps up the humus con- tent of the soil and furnishes the farmer with one of the most valu- experiments, conducted.over long peri- ods of time at different experiment stations, prove conclusively the above statement- Bulletin 109, Minnesota Experiment Station, reports field ex- periments on forty-four plots, with different systems of rotation, and covering a period of ten years, in which it is shown that, on those plots | at the beginning of the experiment; Where field peas were grown continuously, there was a decided increase in the NEW LAUNDRY WILL BE OPEN MONDAY A new laundry is being started in the McAlpine building on Fourth ttreet, opposite the Itasca Merexn- ttile store Sam Chew is the proprie- tor of the new establishment, com- ing here from Hibbing recently.
