When the time for planting the tree
had arrived as each member's named
was called he stepped forward to
put in his shovel of dirt. Walter
Murphy was absent at this time and
wheD his name was called no one re
sponded but this was fixed up so the
best murphy (potato) that Pres. Fur
long could tiod in the potato bin was
thrown into the hole to be burled in
the dirt by Hildah Qualee the next
name called. Among other articles
putin the hole were the class colors,
bug, programs of orations and the last
relic of the explosion of the gasome
ter. The future life of each person
could
be measured by the amount
of dirt put in around the tree as many
arms were too sore.

Climate and Crop Bulle
tin for Week Ending
April 29th.
The early part of the week was cool,
with the morning temp3ratures reach
ing to about the freezing point .in
many places, but the middle and lat
ter pirts were warm, the midday tem
peratures on the 26th being about 80
degrees in most parts of the state.
The sky was generally clear till the
evening of the 26rjh, when there were
showers, except in southeastern
counties, which were heavy enough
north of Norman county to delay
work, in some places for/,several days,
but in other portions they were so
light that work was resumed on the
27th. Telegrams from, corn and wheat
region stations report moderate rains
on the 28th in all but southeastern
and
south-central portions. There
were high southerly winds on the 25th
and 26oh which caused inconvenience,
but not much injury by soil drifting.
Wheat seeding is advancing satisfac
torily in the Red River valley, except
UU the IJW lands. In central, south
western and south-central portions
practically all the wheat, oats and
barley are sown. In southeastern
counties the week has been the first
really favorable period of the season,
and advantage has been taken of
good weather and excellent soil condi
tions for rapid progress with seeding
of wheat, oats, barley, and also some
flax. Prepirations are being made in
the southern half of the state for
planting corn and potatoes and for
sowing flax. Early sown wheat is
coming up nicely, with a good stand
The soft wood trees are beginning to
show leaves, and such vegetables as
asparagus and rhubard are coming up.
Pastures are growing nicely, and
some are being grazed lightly

surrounded with convenient barns

woods, an4 b^s a large family of
bright and industrious children com
ing up to help him. He works one
section of land himself, renting the
balance. Four of these rented farms
he has stocked, mostly with Short
horns. Mr." King is a noted breeder
of thoroughbred horses. He is the.
owner of the celebrated stallion,
Itburiel, and has this spring twelve
standard bred trotting and pacing

Gentlemen: I must say iu regard to GRAIN*
O that there is nothing better or healthier.
Wehave used it for years. My brother was a
great coffee drinker. He was taken sick and
the doctor said coffee was the cause of it, and
told'us to use GBAlN-O. We got a package
but did not like it at first, but now would not
be without it. My brother has been well ever
since we started to use it.
Yours truly, LILLIE SOCHOB.

NOVEL CORN CUTTER.
A Clev«r Device, Attached to the Foot
of the Operator, Invented by a
Michigan Farmer,
The old method of cutting corn
with a sickle has been use for
years, and many an acre of stalks
has been cut with it without any
thought on the part of the user of
how to improve on the implement,
until Charley O. Eberhn, of fahawano,
Mich., concluded that the work should
be done with the foot instead of
the hand. .It is understood that it
is at all times more convenient to
have two hands to work with instead
CUTTER ATTACHED TO FOOT,
of one, and as the improved cutter
permits this it should have at least
-this advantage to recommend it over
the old pattern of sickle. The draw
ing shows the new cutter in the act
of severing a hiil of corn^ and il
lustrates the mann.eX-of attaching the
device, to the foot. It consists of a
metallic plate, which is. curved to fit
the under surface to the forward end
to be used as the cutter. The op
erator grasps the stalks, with his
hands and gives a kick with the toe
Against the butts, which outs., the
corn off close to the grounds The
plate is of such light weight that it
,wjll not interfere with the walking,
and a skillful cutter should, be'able
with this implement to do much more
work than with the old implement.
