The plan adopted by w. C. Hay
iland, near Ft. Dodge, Iowa, of
breaking prairie sod in the fall, Civ
EN- in an Iowa paper, may be of use
to some Of our readers. He uses
two plows, that is, a breaking and
a stirring plow. The breaker runs
first and takes off a slice of sod two
inches thick. The stirring plow
follows, going six inches deep. The
breakers furrow. slice is turned into
the deep furrow made by the stir
ing plow, and the sod is covered to
that depth.
In the spring the ground is in
fine condition for the seed and sub.
sequent growing crop, being light,
mellow, and we'll pulverized. In
Mr.. HIS experience this plan works
admirably. As rule prairie break
ing is done in May, June, and July,
and very few farmers or settlers on
ncw land breaks it in the fall. If
this proves successful, settlers will
find it of great advantage, as it will
give many of them the use of a
much larger acreage than they
could otherwise utilize in raising
crops.

On the farm of Hon. NJ. L. McCor.
mack adjoining the town of Grand
Forks, thirty acres of ground were
carefully measured off by engineers
for the Manitoba road, the wheat cut
and threshed separately and the yield
was forty and halt bushels, machine
measure, which weighed out six
ty-tive and torty-two pounds to the
bushel. This is an average Of four
hundred acres belonging to the same
gentleman. On another portion of
the same farm the yield from fourteen
acres of oats was eleven hundred
bushels, machine measure, and weigh

AS yet it seems that the govern
lnent has taken no steps towards
the reinforcing of Fort A. Lincoln
with troops. 1t is reported, how
ever, that more trops will be sent
to Fort Yates Immediately. AS
not day passes without the report
Of some Indian depreciation, it is
high time for the government to
act in the matter. Although, as
yet, 10 serious complications have
been reported, yet the breaking
out of a dozen young bucks Or more
daily from the agency at Standing
Rock, is no good omen. Yesterday.
a band Of 150 are reported to have
left the agency and were seen after
wards with their ponies and guns,
making to the northwest. It is
supposed that buffalo scalps is all
they are after, but a young bucks
ambition to raise the hair of
white man is so strong, that should
opportunity offer itself they will no
doubt take advantage Of it and
quietly kill a few ranchmen just to
see how natural it will seem. Sutfi-
cient troops should be stationed at
Fort Lincoln to allow the advance
of hundred now and then to head
off these disatfectcd bands. The
Indians at Standing Rock know
that the buffalo are now within
100 miles of there and it will be i'm.
possible with the present force at
Yates and Lincoln to check these
renegade bands, who leave the
agency, strange to say, without
arms, but who, when out fifteen
miles, appear with improved rifles
and plenty Of ammunition. Bis

OUR FIREMEN.

There seems to be little atten.
ton paid to the hook and ladder
company by our village authorities,
or any one else. 1t must appear to
the casual observer that not more
than one out Of a hundred of
the citizens Of Jamestown are aware
of the fact that there is such thing
as firemen's organization in James
town and it is altogether probable
that nothing short of a disastrous
confagration will enlighten them.
The first step that should be taken
by our village trustees is to provide
a suitable shelter for the trucks and
to see that a suitable number of pals
are procured and kept in readiness
for usc.- If we arc going to have a
fire company let us have a live one,
one that will be a benefit as we'll as
an ornament. Again, if our fire COM
pany ever expect to have their
brows covered up with laurels, they
will have to practice little more
than they have since the equipments
arrived. The company is composed
of the most active young men the
city affords and there is no rea son
why they cannot cover themscl yes
with glory.

The wood Of the immense catalaIque Ill
which the remains Of the late President
were laid in state at Cleveland has been
carefully preserved and is being made up
into various ornamental and useful little
articles as souvenirs Of the Garfield fu
neral services. Under the auspices Of Il
t'Garfeld Relic Bureau" the souvenirs
are sold at special agencies in several
Western cities and at Washington and
the money arising from the sales goes to
the monument fund. A single firm is
engaged in the manufacture and is under
heavy bonds to use none but the the gelI
une material Of the catafalque and every
article is marked with a copyright stamp
to preclude the chance Of cOunterfriting.
The demand for the memcntos is large
and handsome amount will be realized
in aid Of the monument.

"When (politicaD rogues fall out,

had another session, this time at the Gil

held such a cOnclave. they would have
Dcen denounced as conSDiratOrs, even
had they decided to recommend the same
political programme as the continental
Congress-" Why not call a joint meeting
Of the cOntcnding factions for counsel,
and thus present an unbroken front to
the enemy when the campaign opens
EeXt season.
The Republican organization means to
the masses something more than an an
cry, selfish struggle for office, and if the
leaders, under any preteXt whatever,
seek to Subvert it to such an end they
ought TO be displaced whether they are
termed "bosses'' or independents.
The people Of the state would be
abundantly satisfied with either Beaver
or Grow for Governor-either would
make a better executive than we have
had lately, and the fact that they are
championed by Cameron and Quay or
Stewart, Davies and Lee should make no
difference.
