Improving u Farm.

An Ohio farmer gives his expert
encence in improving farm that
was i'm poor condition when he bought
it. ut was difficult" he says, "for
me to get from twelve to fifteen
bushels of wheat per acre, but by
saving all my manure and carefully
applying it l have raised, for the past
six years. thirty-three bushels per
acre on an average. My manner of
rotation is a: Break to sod, plant to
corn, follow with Oaths. / apply all
my manure OH the stubble and plow
it under at least eight inches then
roll and harrow, and drag and harrow
and roll and drill at least three inches

The Flood Of immigration.
One Hundred and Eighty-Sine Stean

One Hundred and Eighty-Nine Steamers
In tn. Emigrant Carrying Trade.
The Commissioners of Emigration are
stirred with unwonted activity, and well
they may be, as the receipts of this year
bid fair to cast in the shade those of
1881. 1t is understood that bookings
are already secured by the agents for
the several steamship lines to the enor-
nous extent of 100000 emigrants, and
it is reasonable supposition that the
army of new corners will be still further
increased. That such is the belief and
anticipation of the carriers is evident
from the fact that the great fleet of
steamers at present working is to be
supplemented by new vessels now build
ing.
An idea of the carrying tonnage in
volved will be gathered by perusal of
the following carefully prepared official
tables:

State and County Taxes
FOR YEAR 1881.
Special Notice TO Taxpayers.

OFFICE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS oFl
ALLEaANY County,
CUMBERLAND, ND, Nov. 10, 1881.
THE ATTENTION OF TAXPAYERS
l is especially called to the provision of
the New Code of Public General Laws
which says emphatically that the Collector
shall collect and pay over the taxes within
six months after receiving the books, and
in the event Of his failure to do so he shall
be liable to prosecution and severe pun
lshment.
This means that the Collector, baving
received the books on the 9th day OF July,
1881, is obliged by law, by his oath OF
office, and tho bond he has given for the
faithful prformance of his duty, according
to law, to collect and pay over the taxes
within six months, that is, by the 10th day
of January, 1882.
The Collector has no discretion in the
matter. Having accepted the office he is
bound to execute its duties in accordance
with the law, and he will therefore be
obliged to collect by the summary process
OF distress or execution all taxes that are
unpaid on the 10th day of January, 1889.
Notice is hereby given, That
all tax hills for 1881 in arrears on the 10th
day OF January, 1882, will be collected at
once by legal process.
Taxpayers should therefore make rro-
vision to comply with the requirements OF
law, SO as to pay their taxes for 1881 before
January 10th, 1882, ar d thereby save costs,
trouble &c.
The taxes are to be paid at the Collect
or's office.
