The voice Of the threshing machine
is heard in our land.
Grain is turning out fully as well
as expected, and of very good quail
ity although rather damp for market
ing at present.
The farmers are rather behind with
their full blowing, owing to the late
harvest.
Mr.. Albert Strawsburg found his
best horse dead in the stable with his
neck broke few mornings ago.
Pretty hard on Mr.. S. az it takes cash
to buy horse, and lots of wheat to
get little cash.
NJ. S. Morical is building large
granary on the Bonar farm, which.
when completed, will add very ma
terially to the already handsome ap.

1t was reported few days ago that
the R. r. engineer for the Sauk Gen.

old survey running north from Eagle
Bend. lie said they no doubt would
cut out the right of way this fall ano

ing. He said the road would run tc
Wadena without a doubt, and would
be completed early next spring.

A few days in advance of the an
nual meeting Of the. Northern Pacific,
Henry Willard, the ex-president,m ,makes
to the stockholders public statement t
in detail t., the causes which led to
the fiunnc ial troubles Of = year ago.
The main difficulty Mr. Willard ex-
plains, was the fact that the cost of
construction was double the estimates
given by the engineers. This blunder
undoubtedly hastened the completion
OF the road, for, if the cost had beeen
foreseen, the Northern Pacific would
hardly now be doing through bust
ness from Duluth and St. Paul to
Portland. TO the Northwest the
miscalculation of Mr.. Wizards EN-
gincers was blessing in Disguise

Teach them that true lady may
be found in calico as frequently as

Teach them that a common school
education, with common sense is bet

it.
Teach them that one good, honest
trade, we'll mastered, is worth doz-
en- begsarly "prolessions."
Teach them to respect their elders
and themselves.
Teach them that, as they expect to
be men some day, they cannot too
soon learn to protect the weak ones.
Teach them by your own example
that smoking in moderation, though
the least OF vices to which men arc
heirs. is disgusting to others and
hurttul to themselves.

Electric Bouquets.

The latest novelty in bouquets
newer even than pink water lilies or
blue hydrangeas-was carried by the
Princess of Wales at ball after the
races at Goodwood. 1t was Of roses,
and in the middle of it was concealed
a miniature electric lamp, the light
from which could be turned on at
will by means of little switch in the
form ofa lady's brooch. Gentlemen's s
boutonnieres arc also so arranged as
to contain an electric light. These,
if they come generally in use, will
deal a death blow to flirtations in dark
places, rs passing friend has but to
turn on his battery, and 10! forms
and features are revealed with un-
compromising distinctness. Pater-
familias will probably be a willing
patron of the electric boutonniere, as
he can thus not only follow up and
drive away ineligibles and detrimen-
tails, but can collect his scattered
forces as the small hours approach
and gather them under his wings pre-
paratory to odcparturc.-Prairie Farm

Recent developments in Gotham
seem TO show that the fashion of liv-
ing on the ground floor of house is
''too ancient to be of any use." In
fats the third story is usually thought
preferable if the house has no eleva-
tor, but if the latter is one of the ad-
vantages the seventh or eighth seem
70 be the lavoritis. The reasons
urged IRE that the air is better, there
Is no malaria, and such a "charming
view" may be had. Some one sug-
gested that soon the craze would be
to 60 as many feet into the earth that
the noise of tue street would not dis
turb and the sun would not interfere
with sleep during the ,forenoons OF
the larger proportion Of the Gotham
ties who seem to perfer to enjoy the
night and rest during the day.

Jim Hills Sense Condensed

While the st. Paul jebbers excursion train was
running through the Dalrymple farm in Dakota a
Pioneer Press reporter WAS given, by President
Hill, lecture on dome estic economy that we be
lieve will be of interest to every farmer in the
Northwest:
"But how much better'' he said, ''if all these
vast farms cut up into smaller ones Of 160 or
so each better for the farmers, better for the rail
roads. Where there il 50 much land In grain the
farmers operations are crowded into five months of
the year. The other seven he lies idle. If his
VIII eat fails, his year is lost. By and by even his
fertile soil will be worn out without rotation of
crops If he raised fewer acres of wheat and culti-
waited it t.bettcr he would make more money. Crowd
ing all his operations into the brief simmer
months, his teams are worn out and his expenses
for labor greatly Increased It is not carelessness
but too great haste that lets these weeds out there
grow; but wheat growing need not interfere with
the raising offs took Or other crops.
The true economy is for all to go hand in hand.
But they tell you this is not stock raising couR-
try. There is no better in the world. Hogs, sheep
aad cattle all do well. 1t is true they must be
housed in winter, but they must in any place.
AS for feed hay enough is burned of every year,
wheat brings. Enormous crops Of turnips, pota-
toes and other roots can be raised and you see,
corn can be cultivated to some extent. Compare
the relative profit of grain and stock raising. AL
ways in new country they raise wheat as long
as they CAM because it is easier and quickest turn
ed into money.
"Once Tennessee was a wheat state. Now they
are buying Minneapolis bran. How do English
farmers manage to pay fifteen to twenty five shil-
ilngs rent per acre for land each year? More than
this, land here is made m ore valuable by stock
raising Why, they buy our cattle and buy oil
cake to feed them and still make money, because
they turn into high class beef and mutton Do
you know the Windsor hotel. New York, pays
forty cents pound for Its beefs =:
'The only real economy for the farmer is to raise
stock with his field crops, and the best stock OBJ
tainable. Then all waste is worked up and q fail
ure or drop in the price Of wheat is not ruin. The
true rolicy of the railroad is to promote popula-
tion Some sixteen per cent of our receipts are
from hauling wheat-about half the passengers
receipts. So firmly am convinced that this is
the true policy for both railroad and psoI le that
have spe Mt $50, 900 i'll placing one or two thor
oaghbrsd bulls In most of the counties through
which our lines pass and think it the invest

VESPER.

Mr.. Geo. Smith gave a dance at
his new house last week. All report
having a good time and of going home
quite elected. We think, if more of
the people of Vesper would follow the
example of Mr.. Smith and make these
occasions more prevalent, it would do
honor to themselves and the commu-
ity. Also have tendancy to dis
prejudice our people and unite them.
A few young people from Grand
Rapids and Centralia attended the
dance last week
We anticipate little dullness in
town for some time hense. The mill
has shut down and good many of the
boys are going off.
The planning mills are running, how
ever, and Sherry & Go. are shipping
an unusal amount of lumber, lath and

shipped from any other station on the

its teminous has no depot save box

SOME SUGGESTIONS.

The REPORTER and all sensible Re-
publicans will accord with the follow
ing from the Evening Wisconsin
The effectiveness of Republican cam
paign work must depend largely upon
the thoroughness with which three or
four practical political lessons are
learned by Republican workers:
The campaign should be one of clean
and manly methods. There is no call
for dirty work anywhere. The men
who as speakers or editors or workers
in the ranks, seek to advance Republi-
can interests by any methods that are
"below grade. should be bluntly re-
buked by Republicans. The Buffalo
and Detroit papers which have lately
sought to serve Blaine by filthy details
concerning the morality of Cleveland.
do gross wrong not only, but an i'm
polite thing; it is to the credit Of the
average American that he will stand
up and defend even an enemy, who is
made the victim of an unmanly attack
There is enough that is rotten In the
Democratic party to condemn /; its
candidates, as to their private charac-
~ No lat oIa foa IL
they are given the honor of nomina-
tion to high office, affords a reasonable
guarantee that they are morally clean.
The blunder of recklessiy charging
unworthy motives upon those who
choose to be Independents or Green
hackers or Prohibitionists, is also to be
avoided 1t is matter of fact that
the Prohibitionists now assembled in
convention at Pittsburg, will exert
some influence against the Republican
party. But on that account it is not
to be assumed that they are deliber-
ately and vindictively conspiring to
injure Republicans. Many of them
are as devoted to principle as men or
women can be; and, though they
champion through a mistake, such
persons are to be credited with abso-
Lutte honesty of purpose. The man
who stands conscientiously for any
principle, right or wrong, in the face
of certain defeat, is to be respected.
Republicans are to avoid the blu n
der also of expanding their time and
effort in ''proselyting." In Wiscon-
sin, for example, the German Republi-
cans will vote for Blaine, every man
of them. But it is sheer waste OF
powder to try and win over the Ger
man Democrats any faster than they
are willing to come, impelled by the
pressure of public opinion. Let Re
publican campaign workers in
Wisconsin, and in all the states, give
themselves to the task Of awakening and
