HAPPENINGS
_ERE_AN_D THERE
St. Cloud—John Lang has
tiled as a candidate for re-election to the office of register of
deeds of Stearns county.
St. Cloud—Andrew Anderson,
pioneer resident of this section,
died Saturday, after a short illness, death being due to cerebal
hemorrage. He was 88 years
of age, having observed his anniversary only the   day   before.
The state commissioner of
immigration says that 445 land
agents in Minnesota sold farms
to 2,853 persons from other
states who moved here in 1913.
Land business seems to be a
paying occupation.
Vineland—Old settlers in this
section, state that they have
never seen the ice pile up on the
south shore of Mille Lacs lake
as it did this year. Huge mountains of ice blocade the Vineland
lake shore road in places to an
extent that the road is almost
impassable.
Milaca—The state department
of education has again placed
Mille Lacs county on the list
for a teacher's training school.
The term will open at the High
school building at Milaca on
June 25 and will be in session
until July 25. Teachers' examinations will be held on July
27, 28 and 29.
Swanville—While removing
bananas from a bunch hanging
in the show window at the
Golden Rule store Monday, Mrs.
Glantz routed out one of the
largest tarantalas ever seen
here. The creature was killed
by Charles Smith, and is now on
exhibition at the store. It
measures about two inches in
length and was quite active
when disturbed from its home
in the banana bunch-

Canada Field Peas.
The Canada Field Pea is a
crop that deserves more atten
tion on many farms in Minnesota. A ten-year average yield
of twenty-one bushels of seed
per acre has been secured on
University Farm. The weight
per bushel is 60 pounds. Mixed
in the proper proportions with
other feeds, ground peas make
a good feed for live stock. They
are higher in protein content
than the grains commonly grown
on the farm and can be used in
some mixed feeds to take the
place of bran. For the production of an annual hay crop, peas
and oats mixed at the rate of
two bushels of peas and one
bushel of oats and drilled early
in spring give good results.
From one and a half to three
and a half tons of hay can be
secured. Oat and pea hay can
be fed to an advantage to all
Classes of farm animals. Oats
and peas drilled early in spring
at the same rate as recommended for hay, make an excellent
hog pasture crop, ready for use
about Julv 1st. Twenty bushels
of White Canada Field Peas
produced in 1913 are on hand at
University Farm. They can be
procured for use as seed at $1.50
per bushel.— ^. C. Amy, Assistant Agriculturist, . University
Farm, St. Paul.
(From the Litte Falls Transcript.)
J. P.Leigh received a message
Friday evening stating that
Mrs. Leigh had died in a hospital at Fergus Falls. During
the early part of the winter Mrs.
Leigh underwent a serious surgical operation at St. Cloud,
and for a short time improved
wonderfully, but the shock was
more than she could withstand,
owing to her age. About a
month ago, she was taken to a
hospital at Fergus Falls where
it was hoped she could be re
stored to health again. Deceased leaves a husband and several
children to mourn her death,
who have the sympathy of a
large number of friends.
Few people realize the amount
of material that is going into
the new dam which is being constructed by the Water Power
company this summer. When
the company advertised for rock
for the dam they asked for
1,000 cords and got that amount
or nearly that. They have
opened their own gravel pit
south of the paper mill. The
amount of cement to be used in
mixing the concrete for the east
wing of the dam alone will be
48,000 sacks of one cubic foot to
a sack. Sixteen cars have already been delivered, each car
containing 600 sacks. This
makes a total of 80 carloads to
be delivered, and these 80 cars
would make four minimum train
loads.
13 FILED FOR
COUNTY OFFICE.
5,000 More Farmers.
Minnesota has approximately
5,000 more farmers this year
than she had last, according
to figures compiled by Fred D.
Sherman, commissioner of immigration. Taking these 5,000
farmers and calculating on the
usual basis of five to each family
it means that 25,000 immigrants
have come to Minnesota during
the past year.
Carried Their Samples.
Yesterday W. S. O'Brien and
his deputy, Christ Grest were in
•Buckman town endeavoring to
insure a lady's property against
cyclones. While they were
thus engaged a small whirl wind
passed their way picking up
bits of wood, etc. The lady
exclaimed, "what was that?"
Whereupon Mr. Grest replied:
"That madam, is a young cyclone, and we are the only
cyclone insurance agents in the
state who carry their samples
with them.-'

Math Eisel Sr., Passes Away,
One Sow Mother ot 24 Pigs,
A thoroughbred Yorkshire sow
owned by A. C. Wilson gave
birth ten or twelve days ago to
a litter of twelve pigs and Wednesday she became the mother
of another litter of twelve pigs,
at his farm near this place.
Twenty out of the twenty-four
pigs lived and are getting along
nicely, but owing tosuch a large
number of pigs being too many
for one mother to care for properly, the last litter has been
given to the care of a foster
mother. This circumstance is
something extremely out of the
ordinary and shows what
thoroughbred sows are capable
of. There will undoubtedly be
all kinds of buyers after these
pigs in order to raise them for
breeding purposes only.—Royalton Banner.

When I lived at Lake Minne-
tonka I had a neighbor by the
name of Peter Gideon, who took
a great deal of interest in apple
trees. One spring he planted
the seeds of a Duchess apple.
These seeds grew into trees
which bore apples of devious
color, size and flavor. One of
the many trees from the seed of j

This apple is about the finest
and sweetest thing in the world
excepting my wife. My wile's
family name is Wealthy; and
this luscious fruit shall henceforth bear that name and symbolize and perpetuate her virtues and sweetness to generations yet unborn."
Thus originated what is today
known as the Wealthy apple
From this tree came the original
graftings of all the Wealthy
apple trees in the country.
There is more call for Wealthy
apple trees than for any other
variety. The demand in proportion to the supply, is ten to
one. Grafting from one original tree, like graftings of the
pecuniary sort, is slow in the
beginning, and gains size, speed
and strength only after a number of lieutenants have been
firmly rooted and established in
support of the main trunk.
