One nj ght SIN art young man, who
lives in certain city, found toad
hopping around in the garden, and
thought it would be capital joke to
put it in table drawer and let it hop
ont suddenly and frighten his wife.
Before he closed the drawer, he was
called into an adjoining room, and
forgot all about the toad, which, dur
ing the night, hoped out on the floor,
and, crawling into vacant boot,
passed pleasant night Of it. The
next morning the household WAS
Mortified by shrieks Of masculine dis
trcss, and an old woman on the other
side ofthe street, going home from mar
ket was knocked nearly senseless by
flying boot that came crashing
through the front window. The smart
man said that this custom of playing
practical jokes on people was as dam
gerous as it was foolish, and if he
ever caught anybody fooling around
his boots again with toads or any
thing else, he would teach them a
stlutary lesson.

Fruit Growing.

Many farmers in this vicinity, look
ing to the future beauty of their
homes as we'll as another source of
profit, are beginning to turn a share
Of their attention to. fruit raising.
Nothing adds more to the attractive-
ness of farm premises than the Or
chard and vinyard, together with
tastefully laid out beds of flowers
which already adorn most of our
farms in the summer months. Nur-
serymen have Of late been expert
menting in by bridizing various kinds
of fruit for the purpose Of propoga-
ting species which would thrive in
this climate, and survive our hardy
winters. Their efforts have in the
main been successful as exemplified
by the young orchards of Messrs,
Langley, Packard, and others, who
are successfully raising various kinds
of apples and small fruit. That their
example will be followed by others
there is not the least doubt, for there
are many intelligent farmers in north
ern Minnesota who have only to be
convinced that certain kinds of fruit
can be raised in this climate when
they will at once take an interest in
producing it. The columns Of THE
FARMER are open to the discussion
OF this topic as we'll as all others per-
tanning to agriculture, and we hope
to see general interest awakened.
Those who have ideas in this connec-
ton are invited to send them in for

An enthusiastic meeting was held
in Fargo on the Oath, on the subject
of improving the Red River of the
North. The main obstruction to
navigation is at Goose Rapids where
there is a fall often feet in a mile. A
lock and dam put in at this point at
an expense of 100000, with some
minor improvements and dredging
will make a navigable river from Far
go to the British line. The Red
River is destined to become sort OF
Erie Canal on an improved scale, and
will have an important influence in
regulating the railroads of that val
ley. Duluth will throw all her intlu-
ence in favor of improving that river.

Resolred. that the agricultural
lands of the company west Of the

at the Government price Of two and
a half dollars. cash, per acre, with an
addition thereto of ten cents per acre
to be paid to the company to reim-

This resolution does not apply to

gions where water is scarce, to lands
containing springs or other natural
supply, where it shall be for the in

Presto lent.
How few of the land grant railroad
companies ofthe United States would
find it possible under their narrow
policies to offer their lands at such q
low price as is quoted in the above
resolution. 1t is not the policy of
the directors of the N. P. R. R. to fill
it's treasury at the expense of those
seeking homes, but rather by encour-
aging the establishment of homsc OF
increase its constituency and provide
for steady, sure profit in the future.
If they desired to make money from
their lands why did they not advance
their prices of lands when preferred
stock fell to nominal price ? And
why did they reduce their land rates
when the stock reached a much high
er value? The cheaper the settler
gets his farm the more he can spend
in improvements and the sooner he
will become source of income to
the railroad. This is the policy of
the n. P. Company in q nut shell.
The rights and privileges of actual
settlers OF the poorer classes are wise
II protected in the above resolution,
rs by it the monopoly of the more de-
sirable tracts are rendered impossi-
bic. That will soon lie q great coun-
try ''way out west.'
