SOME IMPORTANT COHASSET CHANGES SHOOTING AFFAIR AT BALL CLUB Dunn & Marcia Parchase Six Acre Attempted Assassination of Settler Tract for Site for New Saw Mill. Some important transfers of real estate have taken place in Cohasset during the past week. Joseph Viol- ette, proprietor of the barber shop at that place has purchased the drug store property formerly occupied by C. H. Frees, from H. H. Carrier and others, and has moved his tonsorial parlors to the new location, where ke will fit up a model shop. Dunn & Marcia, lumbermen, who have a yard in Cohasset and a large mill at Weller’s Spur, 10 miles from Cohasset, have closed a deal with the owners of South Cohasset, for a tract of six acres fronting the Mis- sissippi river, on the South side, for the site of their mill which will be moved from Weller’s at once and re- built. They will install a complete saw-mill plant, nicluding planning mill and shingle mifl. The business of Dunn & Marcia is increasing steadily with the devel- opment of the farm lands of the dis- trict, and the new plant will enable them to supply the demands of the before. The new plant will give em- territory in a much better manmer tla ployment to a large number of men the year around. ARE BETTER THAN CANADIAN LANDS, Secretary McKenzie says Northern Mianesota Offers Best Op- portunities. Northern Minnesota has over thir ty million acres of unused) lands in) the northern part of the state, sev- enty-five per cent of which is til- able according to Secretary McKen- zie of the Northern Minmesota, De- velopment association. He believes should active competition with western Can- ‘ada for the tide of settelrs now seek- ing homes in the west and that this section would secure by far the largest percentage were its advan- tages fully realized. With this end dn view it is the intention of the, association to establish! show,rooms in the more thickiy settled] states to the south and east of us, in which will be displayed the products and} set forth the inducements offered to settlers in this part of the state. “The work and products of every county in the state is om display in! our Minneapolis show rooms,” said Mr. Makenzie, “and we now planto open similar show rooms in the larg- er cities of Minois, Indiana and Towa and other states. “Northern Minnesota lands will un- that Minnesota enter into, jdoubtedly attract many buyers when, the advantages are properly adver- tised. Thirty-five counties have pow joined the association and nearly all are giving active help. Every count; in the Red River valley north of Clay; county is included in the work, There, Who Recently Returned from Dakota. Word comes from the little town, of Bell Club over the line in Cass county stating that a shooting affray took place there last week when 4 settler who recently arrived from the Dakotas with money, was shot at as he sat in his home, the bul- let coming through the window, but missed him. The settler then blew out the light and shot through the window at the would-b¢ assassins, and managed to hit one ef them: The fel- law was followed for a distance the next morning by the trail of blood that he Jeft behind him, but nothing: farther can be learned here of the affair, No arrests have been made. ROTATE GROPS--- MORE LIVE STOCK This is the*Advice of H. R. Smith of Minneapolis Univers- ity Farm. Prof. H. R. Smith, professor of ‘animal husbandry at the university farm, has the following to say con- cerning the value of crop rotation and the advisability of farmers de? voting more attention to clover, corn, — and live st@ck: ™ “Minnesota is known as the bread! and butter state. The soil and clix mate seem to pe especially well adapt- ed to the production of wheat in large, quantity and-of superior quantity. No one would be justified in discourag- ing wheat or dairy products because both have undoubtedly peen profit~ able. However, the state has now reached a stage in its development which calls for a slight departure im our system of farming. “In many localities there has been a decline in yields during the past few years which can be safely attribut~ ed to a system of continuous grain growing. Rotation tests made at the Minnesota Experiment Station show that the imtroduction of clover in a three or five year rotation wil? greatly increase the yield of grain. These records show that if one-fifth of a farm is devoted to clover, the remaining four-fifth will produce more grain each year than the entire farm devoted exclusively to grain, As al- falfa belongs to the same family as clover amd is really richer in ni- trogen, its value for the purpose of ‘buildin up the land is even great- er. Farmers should, therefore, turn their attention to the growing of more corn, clover and alfalfa, to increase the fertility of the land and to make it possible to produce more live stock without lessening the total production of wheat, “The dairy industry cannot be ex- tended beyond a certain point be- cause of labor requirements. If, there fore, the number of farm animals isi to be largely increased, this increase yy shoula be for the most pant meat animals. A 1912 Live Stock Census shows that Minnesota has not taken are at least °55,000,000 acres of land|® high rank as a meat producing is not now in use. Less than 25 per, cent of the Minnesota side of the Red River valley is under cultiva- tion.” | Dew Fancy Work for Winter Evenings A large assortment of things in fancy work are arriving for the winter evenings’ © work. Pretty and inexpensive for dainty Christmas gifts, inch ‘ushion Tops, Aprons, Towels, Slips, Gowns, Corset Covers and Ribbun Novel- ties. Call and look them over. and Net Call and See the Dew Chitfon Mrs. W. W. Fletcher Geilings. Minnesota state, In point of numbers, this state is ninth in peef cattle, 13th in swine, alld 26th in sheep, A considerable higher rank could easily be made in all these classes of live stock with out lessening the total production of wheat and dairy products. We would then have a more permanent and profitable agriculture.” The Real Simon Pure. “The real simon pure” is one of those phrases which every one understands and not one in a hundred could account for. Simon Pure was a Pennsylvania Quaker in Mrs. Centlivre’s “A Bold Stroke For a Wife,” produced at Drury Lane theater, London, in February, 1718. One Colonel Feignwell passes himselt off ag Simon and wins the heart of a Bristol heiress, Miss Lovely, after ‘which the real Simon Pure turns up. a All Wrong.

The Hibbing Daily Tribune reports: ‘that the business men of Bovey and Coleraine in the Canisteo district; vare rejoicing over the excellent pros~ \pects for the coming winter, and) the following year. The district promises: to be one of the livliest on the range, and apparently the Wsetern Mesabe is to be favored more than the most of the new ranges, The past few. months the villages have been picking up owing to the amount of work tin the district, and the on- ly setback they have to contend with, has been, the scarcity of labor. There has been a vague rumor that the, mines were to be closed that has done the district a hardship. There is plenty of work in the two villages for all who wish to apply, a condi- tion possible throughout the winter. At Taconite, the Judd mine, a small proposition is being newly opened up. Other work, it is expected, will keep, the full equipment in operation. Therq is a spirit of optimism among the business men that looks like old times FERTILIZERS AND MULGHES Prof. Bovey Writes Instructive Pap- er on Fall Preparatlon of Garden Soils. Prof. A. G. Bovey, agricultural jn- structor at the Marble schools has written an article for the press om “Fertilization and Mulches” which we republish here as it is of inter- est to those having gardens: By fertilizing is meant the incor- poration of organic materials or plant foods among the soil part- icles. There are two kinds of fer~ tilizers, viz, barn manures and commercial fertilizers. For our prac- tical purpose, I favor the use of the former for the following reasons: 1. It is less expensive. 2. Coprtains all essential plant foods. 3. Much more convenient to get. 4 Supplies a greater amount of organic materials Which have a great capacity for holding moisture, The sreatest objection raised against the use of manures is that it distributes weed seeds. This is a gocd, one, for by the growth of weeds a greater amount of tillage is insured), thus increasing the soil fertility. The coarse manure may be used this fall by plowing it under or by scattering on the plowed surface. Both metihody have merits. If the gar-j den soi] is a heavy clay, it would be a good practice to plow the ma- nure under, thus giving the weath- ering agents a more direct action up- | on the soil. On the other hand, these weathering agents would have a great effect upon the vitality of the weed seeds contained in the manure, if left on top. Another good use may be made of coarse manure if the garden is sandy or has a tendency) to wash away. By applying a good! layer op the surafce, it serves a douple purpose in furnishing the fer- tility and a preventative against ero- sion or wearing away of the surface soil. By winter mulching is meant the supplying of materials that will pre- vent the penetrating of frost and too great change in temperatures. The coarse materials, as straw» marsh hay, ete., are the best for early applica~ tions and around evergreen shrubs and trees. Manures should never be used in mulching the latter. In any case, a great quantity of mulching is not necessary, for it is a wrong idea to prevent freezing entirely. The main, purpose is to prevent sudden, changes. A mulch of 3 to 5 inches is yery efficient in this regard. } McGee-Phinney. A quiet home wedding took place Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McGee of Deer River, when their daughter, Miss Irene, and Bren- ton H. Phinney of International Falls were united in marriage. py Rev. H. J.

A Piain Statement of I H C Wagon Value OME farmer saves money every time an IHC wagon is sold. Not because it costs less money to begin with, but be- cause of the length of service it gives, an IH C wagon is the cheapest wagon you can buy. The longer a wagon lasts the cheaver itis. That is why it is economy to Luy the best wagon — one that will outlast any ordinary wagon. When you buy anI H C wagon Weber New Bettendorf Columbus Steel King you invest in a wagon built of the highest grade material which experience and care can select or money can buy, built in the most thorough, painstaking manner, by skilled work- men, in factories which have modern appli- ances for doing work of the highest standard at the lowest possible cost. All lumber used is air-dried in sheds with concrete floors. This insures toughness a resiliency. All metal parts are made of espec- jally prepared steel, guaranteeing the longest service. Each wagon undergoes four inspec- tions before being shipped so that it reaches the purchaser in first class condition, ready to be put to work at once, and able to carry any reasonable load over any road where a wagon should go. Weber and Columbus wagons have wood gears, New Bettendorf and Steel King have steel gears. The I HC dealer knows which ‘wagon is best suited to your work.
