THURSDAY - OCTOBER 6, 1910 Duringtbo pa3t year or two folks lu North Dakota have been biting very hard on the grocery peddler's bait. lirlefly, the agent goes through tho country districts, shows excellent sam ples of staple groceries and on the utrength of these takes orders. Later those who have ordered goods are sent notices that on a certain day the car containing the groceries will be at the depot. When tho purchases arrive the patrons are told that the distribut ing agent Is in n great hurry and that the railway folks havo ordered the car off the sidetrack within a specllled tluie. This means that the stuff bought hi loaded on to the wagon, without careful iuspection. On arriving home the housewife looks Into the purcbuses aud flnds, along with some fulrly good stuff, a lot that Is cheap and shoddy a good deal cheaper than the price paid. These -chaps never visit the same place a second time, as their victims usually remember their pre vious experience. However, lu the Dakota case there was another good reason. The state pure food com 111 Is- Blpner. got after these fakers and found that the bulk of the stuff sold was in direct violation of the pure food law, which fipeks to prevent the ndul teratlon of food products, when the flues assessed against them soon out- tan their profits. The same game has been tried in other states with about the same results. It would seem that it was about time for rural Inhabitants to get wise to the game. The extensive part that the Oregon Trunk Line will take in developing sections of country traversed by its railway lines is shown in a letter re ceived yesterday by Ora VanTassel, who with others had taken up with the company 'the matter of assistance in constructing a road ofT the northwest portion of the Agency Plains to the Oregon Trunk. Chief Engineer Kyle, in the letter to Mr. VanTassel, says that the company will donate $1,000 for the extension of the Gard road to Vanora, the name of the station which will be on the railway lines, and that he will instruct the Oregon Trunk en gineers to assist the residents of that section in establishing a grade. Such assistance as this means very much where good roads are difficult of con struction, and there is no question but that the railway company's generosity I will be appreciated by the settlers. Delicious Fruit Can Be Produced by Cultivation Under Glass. . In the summer melons are plentiful on the market, but few. there are who know the delicious flavor, not to men tion size, of n fully developed and well ilpeurd fruit grown under glass. Nor Is the season of such fruit limited, for melons can be produced all (ho year around. During the summer they can be produced in fourteen weeks from time of sowing, winter mouths tnklug a few weeks longer. To keep tip u steady supply four small houses mii3t be devoted to them. These must have adequate pipe heat to maintain the temperature through the cold weather and also to furnish bottom beu't for the plants. Raised benches with pipes underneath answer both purposes well. When sowing the seed use n good open compost and place very lightly in three Inch pots, Inserting one seed lu each pot and water lu. Place the whole in a house having n temperature' of 70 to 75 decrees nlcht nml rnvpr with paper to maintain the moisture. Good seed should germinate In about four days. When seedlings are through prepare bed for permanent planting. Good, heavy loam with old lime rubble mixed into It i.s all they require. Cov er bottom of bench with sod. adding more with lime rubble and ramming as firm ns possible until the whole is four Inches thick. Mix more of same compost and also add a little charcoal for the mounds. These should be placed on the bed twenty Inches apart and the seedlings planted In. Maintain n nlglft temperature of 70 to 75 degrees and syringe twice dally. Take one shoot up until the plants are three quarters up trellis and then stop. Laterals will now appear bearing fe male flowers. Stop these one leaf be yond the flower. If possible three or four of these should be fertilized the same day to insure an even crop. As the fruit swells It will need support. Nets made for the purpose should be used. During the time the fruit Is swelling the plants will .take lots of water and feed, which can be given In the form of light top dressing and quick acting manures. As soon as fruit shows signs of rip enlng cease syringing and keep a drier atmosphere and give all air possible Quality Is usually to be preferred to size, especially as medium sized fruit Is easier to serve on table, being cut through and cracked Ice placed In center. Scarlet fleshed varieties usuolly are of best flavor, but there are good green and white fleshed varieties. Hortlcul ture.

There are all kinds of boys In their teens today who misuse or at least waste their spare hours who when they get to be forty will be blaming Providence or the government or some body else because they have not fared better In a financial way. These same boys overlook the fact that the men who achieve and make good tomorrow are the boys today who, while they have their playtime, and very rightly bo, devote the hours not given to healthful recreation to self improve ment by reading, thinking and storing their minds with a fund of Informa tion which will stand them In good stead In future days. And usually It Is these same level headed boys who tend to business in school and make the study hours of their schoolmates and the work of their teachers a pleas ure Instead of a bane and bugbear. 4 o FOLDING WORKBENCH. Here Is One That Does Away With Objections to Ordinary Kind. In the tool house or stable there Is always a need at times for a work bench, with a safe place to keep the tools needed fi r any repair jobs that mny be needed. This Is greatly need ed many times In the year, but when not In use Is, If stationary, often In the way. By hinging tlie tnble or top of bench to the studding, as shown in illustrn- -HrV IFF DRY FARMING CONGRESS HAS OPENING SESSION Spokane, Wash., Oct. 4. Exactly as the hands of the big clock on the walls of the Armory pointed to 7:55 o'clock Monday evening, Alfred Atkinson, chairman of the international board of control of the Dry Farming congress, called the meeting to order and instant ly a hush reigned over the vast audi ence that had gathered at the initial meeting of the Fifth Dry Farming Conirress Following Mr. Atkinson, came H. W. Newton, who gave a short address of welcome, and toll of the objects to be accomplished by the congress. It was at the close of his address that a small bell behind the platform struck, announcing that a message was at hand from President Taft. C. M. Fassett followed 'Mayor Pratt with a talk which was short and to the point, but In it was embodied all the fine points of a welcome from the busi ness men of Spokane. When it was announced that a message of good will had been received from Theodore Roose velt there was a cheering. The ex- president's dispatch stated that tho conquest of what was once called the "dried west" was among the notable American achievements, and that his good wishes were for the succcbs of tho meeting. WORKBENCH AGAINST WALT. From Orange JuUd Farmer. tion, It may bo folded up against the wall, where It Is held by hooka, entire ly out of the way and ready for use In a moment's lime. When lowered the legs, which are hinged to the top. let down to the floor, nnd the hlngc3 against board on studding hold bench firmly. The space behind the top Is an ex cellent place to keep all the small tools, as boards may be placed be tween studding at top and bottom, thus making It a tight box when top Is raised, nnd when lowered your tools are all within easy reach just where you wont them.

Never at any time should honey be left open around the nplary, for It al ways leads to robbing. Bees cannot carry on their wonder ful work wltfiout water. If they have not access to natural sources In the vicinity of the nplary 1 water should be given to them. A thousand colonies of bees aro used annually In tho cucumber greenhouses of Massachusetts to carry fertilizing pollen. There are 2.1O0 persons in tho slate who keep bees. Taking off honey Is easy and simple with the right equipment, which In cludes Inexpensive tools-n bee smoker, bee veil, chisel or knife for n hive tool or pry nnu pernaps ueo gioves or wristlets. Bees like to work better,, probably, than any other living thing. They aro perfectly willing to work for nothing, board themselves and pay uanusomeiy for tho privilege of occupying an old box. There Is room for n few hJves of bees on every farm. Fruit, poul try and bees make a splendid combina tion when properly mixed.
