The pastures have been over stocked and as a result the grasses in the pas ture have decreased in quantity while certain native plants, particularly the small sages, have become very abundant. This holds true in any lo cality indeed it is not difficult to find pastures w-ftere the useless native plants,—useless from a grazing stand point, compose 75 per cent or more of the total vegetation. Certainly such pastures are carried at a decided loss. Many farmers believe that the av erage hay meadow is no longer an asset because tame hay plants yield so much more. If this be true in re gard to a native hay meadow in good condition, how much more true must it be of a native pasture less than 50 per cent normal. The conclusion so far then is that a large number of na tive pastures which can be plowed and which have grown more or less weeds, become a liability rather than an as set. There is a practical method for the improvement of such pastures used somewhat in North Dakota. If a man has say ten acres of fenced pasture, the amount of such pasture which he wants to improve can be manured, and then broken when in good condition for such work, say in June. Discing and harrowing the land will put it in fair condition. Further work on the land may be needed in the fall and again in the spring following, pre paratory to seeding. The pasture is to be seeded to a mixture of brome grass and alfalfa. Care should be taken to secure good brome seed, free from quack. This is a matter of much importance. The al falfa seed should be the Grimm, or equal to that in hardiness. The rate of seeding may be at the rate of 15 pounds of brome and 2 or 3 pounds of alfalfa seed per acre. It is best to seed without a nurse crop and seed ing is perhaps best accomplished by means of a wheelbarrow type of broad cast seeder, followed by a peg tooth harrow. In following this method the stock may remain on both the old and new pastures during the first and fol lowing seasons. If the foregoing work ewell done the farmer will find the carrying ca pacity of the new pasture to be sev eral times that of the old and the new pasture will become an important as set of the farm.

VELVA FARMER DRANK CARBOLIC ACID AND DIED Sam Sanderson, a farmer residing north of Velva. died at his home Mon day morning of last week from the ef fects of drinking carbolic acid.

A BOOSTER FOR THE NORWEGIANS Referring to the numerous Norweg ian "Lags" which met in Fargo re cently, the Blade, of that city, com ments as follows: "As you walk up and down Broadway during the pres ence of so many Scandinavians in this city, did you stop to think what these people have meant to this common wealth? These grey haired men and women have done more to open up and develop this state than any oxher nationality. Naturally a hardy race of people, they came out onto what was, in the early days, a comparatively bleak, unbroken prairie country, took up their claims, worked hard, suffered many of the privations incident to a Halvor Halvorson, Pres. G. W. McWilliams, Vice Pres. pioneer's life, living within their means, gradually improving their holdings until today we are pleased to note, they are among the thriftiest, most valuable residents this state has. Without this class of immigrants in the pioneer days, this state would by no means be so far advanced in ag riculture and stock raising as we are. And while many of the older repre sentatives are gradually laying down their arduous labors, their sons and daughters are stepping into their plac es to still carry forward the work, which has made the once barren prai ries to blossom as the rose. Fargo is proud to be honored with their pres ence."
