There is at present an enrollment Of over 480, a marked increase over last year, and a promise of fully 1,200 students for the present year. i i One of the most interesting class room talks the visitor ever listened to was given recently by Mr. Tlbert, who spoke to the wood-working class upon the classification and use of tools.. This class is now large, and composed for the moat part of Farm Husbandry men. One of the best features of last Saturday's game, which, by the way, was a good game, with no quitters present, was the around-the-field lharch between the halves. It helped to keep up the enthusiasm tq the end, knd it helps mightily to get UM'Tm part-of-the-team" feeling. Professor Willard, who spoke at the X}rand last Sunday evening, will be *Ke next speaker '^efore the Poly Technic society. It is understood that he will discuss the geology of the Stump Lake region. The Polytechnic meets next Wednesday evening at 7:80 in the chemical building. All visitors are cordially welcome. President Worst has boon eboten "by Governor Burke to act as the offi cial representative ht the state of North Dakota at the launching of the battleship North Dakota, to take place in Boston on the 10th of Nov. A spe cial train will carry the North Da kota party to the east, and the presi dent will stop off on his way back to attend a conference of agricultural col leges in session at Washington D. C. on Nov. 17th. Bulletin 74 of the Dickinson sub-ex periment station published last year bv L». R. Waldfon the superintendent is a very valuable guide to homestead ers, in the western half of North Da kota. The bulletin treats largely of grains, grasses and woody plants, that is, it gives suggestions for the prepara tion of the seed bed, the rate of seed ing and cultivation of small grains and graa0es that will yield the best results in the semi-arid portions of the .state. It al^o tells the kinds and how to successfully grow, shade trees, shel ter belts, ornamental hardy shrubs and small fruits. It contains si valua ble, formula for poisoning of gophers and prairie dogs, and gives data on weather conditions in the western part of the sta,te. This bulletin may be had free of charge by addressing the Ex periment Station at Fargo, or the au thor at Dickinson, N. D. W. R. Porter, superintendent of the North Dakota demonstration firms, has this to say about clover growing in this state: How a Stand of Clover is Obtained. Prof. Thomas Shaw claims that clo ver can be grown successfully from the Red river to the Montana line, and from South Dakota as far north us the Canadian boundary. No doubt, Professor Shaw is correct if the right method of growing clover is practiced. Such a method has not been worked out yet but all the indications are t'-at it is to be found in the practice of growing clover without a nurse crop on land that has been previously manured. Perhaps the best possible condition to grow clover would be to put it oi} corn or potato land which Kad been manured with a manure spreader which had about twenty-five pounds of soil evenly scattered on each load of manure from a clover field that is well inoculated with clover bacteria. This method gives a seed bed that is in the right mechanical condition, has an abundant supply of water stored up in the soil, contains an abundance of available food, and becomes thor oughly inoculated with the special bacteria without clover cannot do well. I if a man wantB to make big money and at the same time increase the fe»* tllity of his soil, if he is west of the Red River Valley, he should sow a few acres of clover without a nurse crop on soil that has been manured, prefera bly corn or potato ground. If weeds come up, he should cut them with the rnower with the bar set high enough to pass over the clover plant# be i neath. The second year the clover should be cut for hay the latter part of June and the second crop for seed. This crop should be cut about the mid dle of September and can be threshed in an ordinary separator fairly well corrugated teeth be used, and the cylinder be set up tight. To get all the clover seed, and clover straw It should be run through the separator twice. Clover has been yielding from two to six bushels per acre In the state, and when is worth from 810 per bushel, it actually beats dollar wheat as a paying crop, and at the s»me time It increases the fertility of the land. Any farmer in the state west of the valley will make no mis take if he tries a smJl field of medi um red clover, without a nurse crop In the spring of 1909. CONCLUSION. These experiments with clover on the demonstration farms seem to indicate that it is not wise to sow clover with a nurse crop in North Dakota outside of the Red river Valley. Even then nurse crop i hat cpmes off the ground quickly and does not offer too heavy shade, such as barley should be used.

C. granted five applicant papers as registered pharma cists and gave assistants' papers to six others. The Agricultural club hold the first meeting of the fall term last Saturday evening. This being t£c tenth anni versary every effort was made to se cure a strong program. Dean Shep perd of the agricultural department was the principal speaker of the even ing. The club was organized for the bene fit of the agricultural students to familiarize them with some of the most important subjects of debate, and also to give them parliamentary training. This club is an unusually active or ganization, made up chiefly of farm husbandry students, although agricul tural men from any department of the school may enter Its membership. It takes uji and discusses practical farm questions, during cach year of its ten years growth it has gained In strength and Influence, until now it is one of the most valued of the stu dent organisations. Professor Bolley's speech before the Polytechnic society upon the retarda tion of weed growth by means of chemical sprays, was most interesting and timely. While along certain lines the experiments begun over a decade ago are not yet concluded, along oth ers, notably that of the use of sprays for the killinge of mustard and king head, the results are such as to war rant extensive field use. Sprayers capable of covering frtwn 30 to 40 acres per day are now c'n the market, and the coming spring will see many Dako ta farms provided with this latest means of fighting weeds. This is the time of the year when every good poultry keeper is planning for winter. By November 1st, at the latest, the winter quarters for the hens should be prepared and the fowls made thoroughly comfortable for their five month's confinement. This hen house, the battening up of cracks, replacing of broken windows, the removal all filth, and the ap plication of a disinfectant is necessary and expedient. Most poultry houses in our North Dakota climate should be well banked with stable manure and many of them in addition should receive a coat of tar paper to keep out the piercing windffHhat sweep across our prairies. Culling the flock tyj.tts proper sise so-that it may be av&ecpmodated in the poultry house Is a task requiring much thought and cam. The flock has been greatly augmented in numbers by the year's crop of chicks. A severe i yet careful selection should be practiced as only the best birds deserve places in the laying pens. Too many farmers I are in the habit of retaining the old I stock and letcing most of the young pullets go. Such a course may insure a good breeding flock but from the standpoint of egg production it is poor practice. Only the best of the two and three year old hens should be reserved for breeders. The most pro fitable year for the hen is her first one and as any rf the best pullets as there is room for should be kept for winter laying. The older hens can not be depended upon to lay during the winter months when egg prices are high and egg production Is at a low ebb. Overcrowding in the pens, however, should be guarded against as each laying hen should have ap proximately five square feet of room. Given dry well-lighted, roomy quar ters with plenty of olean wholesome food and the hen will show her appre ciation with an ever ready cackle and regular contribution to the egg bas ket.
