OUR CELEBRATION,


A BRIGHT DAY IN JAMEsTowN's HISTORY.
Many feared Friday evening, that the
weather would prove unfavorable on Sat-
urday, for our celebration; but old Satur-
day ushered in one of those perfect days
to be found only in Northern Dakota
Tho exercises OF the day were opened
by national salute fred from Klaus's
Battery. At 10a. m. the procession was
organized and moved to Elliott's grove.
The parade was very nice affair. First
came the music, followed by the James,
town Turnverein, then the children Of
tho public school, followed by the dis
play of reapers and mowers, then horse
brigade, citizens in carriages bringing up
the rear. d. 81. .+#,.'~
The 'Noble Red man" who was the
conspicuous feature Of the parade was not
a "Standing Rock Agency Indian on
his way to scalp the editor of the Bis
marck Sun; but if Maltby only knew
what child of the plains he does make,
when rugged out as full blooded Sioux
chieftain, scalps other than sheep and
calves would dangle at his belt.
The appearance Of the public school
under command of Mr.. Foley, principal,
brought out compliments from all.
Exercises at the grove in the afternoon
consisted of an opening address by Mr..
A. Steinbach, the reading Of declaration
by Major Lyon, and the rendering of
some string National odes, by the choir
under the leadership Of Mr.. Boynton.
The first Item on the program in the
afternoon was performances by the
Turner's. Then came the tub race
There were two entries, and Joe Eyotte
was the victor. At the close of the tub
race, Mr.. Kurtz introduced the orator of
the day, Albert A. Allen, Esq. The gen.
telman's orstion was very fine effort and
both deserved and received universal
praise. At the close OF the address and
another performance by the turner's,
we repaired to tue race track, where
Major Lyons pony won the pony race
and Geo. Vennum's horse distanccd his
competitor in the horse race. Following
that performance came the foot race.
Here Mr.. Jack McKinzie was
winner, and the same lucky individual
carried off the the honors Of the sack
race. The fireworks at night was very
creditable display and the celebration
closed with ball in the evening
which was very largely attended.
The whole proceedings from the very
beginning to the close reflects the greatest
kind Of credit upon the association of
Turner'S and the various committees. It
was success in every sense of the term.
A more quiet and and orderly crowd was
never seen, and it was not our misfortune
to encounter q drunken man all day.
Everybody seemed tQ,bs happy and filed
with laudable desire to make his neigh.
Dor feel SO. The Sd day Of July, 1880, will
long be remembered in jamestown.

AGRICULTURAL SELECTIONS.

MERITS OF THE SUFFOLK HoG.-The Suf-
folk hog, as it was generally known fifteen or
twenty years ago, was a very diminutive an
imal, scarcely weighing in most cases two
hundred pounds at maturity, being nearly
devoid of hair, and very apt to choke up
while being fattened and it was represented
by those who were unfavorable to the breed,
that it was almost useless for breeding pur-
poses The sows were said to have been poor
mixers, giving birth to very small filters. A
great many people throughout the country
seem to have an idea that while other breeds
of hogs have been changed by breeding, the
Suffolk is still the same animal it was years
ago. The fact is, that the Suffolk has been
improved as much as any other breed. ihe
Suffolk of the present day, while retaining
all its easy fattening qualities, is good deal
larger than formerly, weighing at maturity
from three hundred to four hundred and nifty
pounds, and in some instances as high as i've
or six hundred pounds. They now, gener-
ally, have good covering of soft halr' al
though once IN a while an individual specl-
men of the breed will be thin-haired. They
do not choke up by getting excessively tat
any more than any other breed. When not
allowed to get too fat, the sows breed well,
and are proverbially kind and gentle mothers,
allowing their pigs to be handled without re-
senting it.
ORGANIZATION OF AGRICULTURAL IMrLE-
MENT MEN-The agricultural implement
men of the Northwest met in council at Rock
Island on the 10th of December and organ
lied permanently. The officers elected are
as follows: S. II. Velie, President; w. B.
Boyd, Vice President; Ira NJ. Clifford, Sec
rotary; J. II. Bradley, Treasurer. The out
look for the trade was considered, and an in
terchange of views had in regard to the stu
alton. The unanimous sentiment, at least so
far as expressed, was that considerable adj
vance in prices over last season was neees-
sany and imperative, in view of the cost of
material and labor. This meeting was some
what of preliminary character. Further
consultation and comparison of views was
desirable, and the Convention adjourned to
meet in Chicago on the 18th of January.
BRAINwoRK IN FARMING. = In farming
thinking is as necessary as working. The
highest results are obtained by those wBo
farm intelligently Brain, not less than
Drawn, is required, and there is no calling
which requires more careful thought, COM
bined with practical skill, than the various
branches of rural pursuits. As a rule, farm
ers should devote less hours to daily labor and
more to rest, thoughtful recreation and good
reading, especially upon the business in which
they are engaged.

DAMP AND WET.

While the winter so far may well be called
damp, it has lacked considerable of being
wet The rains have been so timed that the
water falling has had sufficient time to run
off before the next rain, consequently the
water has at no time been at high stage in
the creeks and rivers. 1t has, therefore, been
very favorable to the low river bottoms.
Notwithstanding this favorable circumstance
farmers on these lands have, up to this time.
done but very little in the way of cultivation,
and less in the way of sowing. They have
learned by the experience of the past few sea-
sons that it is more prudent to wait till later
in the season before riskiDg much time, labor
and seed on these lands. Those who plant
after the spring foods on these low lands
generally do the best. It may be
that the damp season may turn into
,Wet one at any time, and liz
that case those who have DELAYED
work will lose nothing by delay. Last
season we had but little rain and
no high water till the last of February, and
when the rivers did fill up and the waters
flow over their banks they covered up thou
sands of acres of growing crops and did
great damage and caused great loss. We
think the damage this season will be much
less even should we have wet winter at
last. We do not think, however that the
prospects are good for very high water
this spring. We would not advise farmers
whose lands are subject to overflow to take
much stock in this opinion.
