WHEN the farmers of tn e Red rive

WHEN the farmers of tn Red river
valley come to realizing sense of
the Importance of abandoning the
production of wheat exclusively and
devote themselves to the cultivation
of other cereals as we'll, and to the
production of vegetables and the
raising of poultry, hogs and stock, a
new era of prosperity will dawn upon
this region. The farmer who raises
wheat exclusively is making that one
crop alone feed, warm and clothe his
family. BY persisting in such a
course he is bound to fail and see his
homestead sold out by the sheriff to
satisfy his creditors. BY adopting
the other line of policy he Will be in
dependent and happy in few years
Fargo Republican.
The above editorial from the Re-
publican will apply as we'll to this
part of the territory as to the Red
river valley and should be needed by
our farmers, great many of whom
are just starting i'll this section.
Mixed farming can be successfully
and profitably carried OH in the West
Missouri country and our farmers
will find it more profitable thar
wheat alone. The farmer who raises
wheat, oats, corn, barley, potatoes
and other crops and has stock around
him will always be independent ant
prosperous, When he comes to tow1
to trade he will always have som'
corn, potatoes, a hog or q steer fo
sale which will bring him the read,
cash without depending entirely o,
his wheat crop. Mixed farming i
what the West Missouri eountr,

A BILL for the admission of south
ern Dakota under the name of Dakota
and the naming of the northern half
of the territory Lincoln has been
recommended by the senate commit
tee on territories. This brings the
sauestfon to the front, "what's in a
name!" There is IL great deal i'll it,
for North Dakota, which is known
the world over rs the producer Of the
best wheat ever grown and as one of
the richest and best farming coun-
tries in the United States. To
change the name now means great
damage to this prosperous and grow
ing territory. Dakota. as it is pro-
posed to call the southern half, would
be benefited by the name while the
northern half, if the name Dakota or
North Dakota, be taken from it
would be this loser. There is that
much in a name. Congr ess treats us
in regard to our wishes and rights, as
though we we were children and
should bow to it's superior wisdom.
which in reality is it's thorough ig-
norance and disregard for what is
right. What possible difference can
it make to any member of congress.
il the northern half should be called
North Dakota, while to us it is so
greatly to be desired? Give us North
Dakota or give lis nothing, is the
sentiment of every citizen of North
Dakota.

Per Cent.-Eftect of the War in
Rates-Business Depression
at Numerous Points.

New YORK, Dee 5-The Times says:
Statements made before the directors of tbs
New York Central railroad at their meeting
Wednesday, showed earnings for the fiscal
year ended Sept. 30, amounting to 52l per
cent, ON the capital stock The amount paid in
dividends was ~ per cent. The reports were
criticised because taxes to the amount of
$3O0, 900 and 9th er items amounting to $60O,
100 were omitted from the debit account
The capital stock being s9O,OO0,00O,
the omissions amount to l per
cent, making the actual earning ap-
plicable to dividends only 4.21 per cent.
Mr. Vanderbilt, who. from information
given him of the roads operations, expected
that per cent dividend had been earned,
Is said to have expressed strong dis
approval of the omission of the two
items mentioned. 1t was also developed
at the meeting that the business of the
| road for November shows gross
| decrease of S400, 900 from the same month
| in 1888. The tonnage is maintained, but tht
| deficiency is caused by lower rates. Th'
whole financial statement is accepted a
showing the serious decentralization caused
by the war in passenger and freight rate
during the past few months.
The New York Central road has reduced
rates to Cleveland and Detroit to 50. Thi
was done to meet the last cut made by thu
