The Notice to Hunters.

Elsewhere in these columns may be
found All advertisement by several
property owners warning hunters against
entry upon their lands. These no.
tees. we think, are the legitimate re-
suit of the stock law, and land owners
are beginning to insist upon their bound
arv lines being a proper stopping place.
Notices similar to the n which we pub
lish to-day may be found in many of our
exchanges, and in a little while it would
seem that the habit of hunting will be
very seriously interfered with. These
notices, so far as we Sre Informed are
prompted from various reasons. A few
Of the farmers may object to fox hunt
ing, while many others Object to the
hunting of game at night when torches
are necessary, and when the risk from
fire is to be considered. Many fences
have been destroyed by this means at
different times in different places. and
this fact has caused others to take steps
which might prevent the possibility OF
such IN occurrence on their farms. 9th
ers object to hunting on the places from
The fact that hunters too often cut the fin
est specimens of the forest in order to
secure a poor little opossum, worth per-
haps ten cents, when 4 dollar tree was
destroyed in it's capture. Besides the loss
happens that trees are felled in the water
courses, from which place it is necessary
to remov them at much expense TO the
farmer. Others do not object for their
friends to enjoy a hunt for game on their
places, but because of certain intrusion by
a few persons, they make the notice gen.
eral without any desire to enfore the law
against their friends. Others do not like
the privacy of their farms interrupted
whereby their cattle. sheep or other ami
mails are frightened and sometimes SUBJ
iected to the ravages of vicious dogs.
Then again it sometimes happens that
fences are laid down which enclose stock.
Others feel that they are themselves en-
titled to whatever game or fish may be
upon their own farms.
These and many other reasons have
prompted the publication Of the adyer-
tisen'ents of which we speak. Each man
is legally entitled to the full enjoyment
of whatever Land he may own, and none
will dispute the right, and we know that
no hunter will disregard the notice,
though if any Of them should accidental
~ get over on forbidden ground, we feel
sure that landowner would not
prosecute them for an uintentiona vio-
lation of the notice. We hope that the
hunters may regard the rights Of the
landowner, and that the landowner
may be n~eighborly and clever with those
who may happen to violate the notice.

CASH business in town is very dull just
now. On some days the merchants are
kept busy distributing out the necessary
provisions to make another crop. our
farmers have advanced II step in the
road to permanent success. Nearly all
of them have sown plenty of oats to feed
their stock after the first Of May, and we
shall expect them to begin to pay atsen-
ton to their pastures. Every farmer
should have a large per cent. of his farm
under fence, which he can build at odd
times, when not pushed by needed work
in the crop.
The indications are that Our farmers
will be we'll up with their work, and it is
quite probable that they will pitch q
large crop.

OF the victims were terribly bruised and cut.
The force OF the wind was such that two mill.
stones were moved one hundred feet. Chick

cept the feathers On their heads. The largest
trees we're uprootcd, and smaller ones had all

Ridges or Bottoms

We think our farmers are beginning to
learn wisdom from experience, and arc
beginning to set a higher estimate upon
the Importance of a careful preparation
and cultivation of their bottom lands.
The rule once was, to plant all upland
before beginning to work on tho low
lands. Now, among the progressive
farmers, the rule seems to be to cam
mence work on the bottoms as soon as
they are in proper condition, irrespective
of the condition of the ridges. A major
ity of our farmers arc thoroughly con.
yinced that of a given amount of boz
toms the crop is worth treble the crop
on the same amount Of ridge land.
Ridges and "backbones' may do very
we'll sometimes, but bottoms we'll work
cd always yield a fair return for all
work expended on them.

One OF the important advantages
destined to aid the growth and pros.
pslity OF this country in the near
fHt'ire is the development of the rich
coal deposits known to exist Ill various
sections, especially in the vicinity of
Turtle Mountains. The building of
railroads to these districts, which is
not likely to be delayed much longer,
VIII se!ve the question of cheap fuel.
especially for those who are not sit,at.
Ell convenient to timber. The follow.
ing is but sample of what we fire.
qnently hear from various parts. We
clip the following from the Emerson
international: From Mr.. ID. Potter. of
Crystal City, we learn that a valuable
discovery of tirst.class coal was made
some time ago in township l, range %,
on the homestead of man named
sommers, ut the northwest end of
Turtle Mountain. Although the set.
tiers in the vicinity have been using
the coal for some time, the fact of the
discovery does not appear to have got
into the newspapers. The coal is pro.

TREE PLANTING

We disire again to urge the impor.
lance of tree planting especially to
hose living on open prairie. Perhaps
in no other way can the prairie farmer,
with SO small an investment of labor,
add so much to the attractiveness of
his surroundings as by planting shade
trees. No one living on the paririe
should allow a year to pass without
planting at least one tree. In this
connection it may be observed that
some over do the matter when they do
get started and plantso many that they
can not give them the proper care and
attention to keep them alive the first
season. 1t is better to plant three trees
10 live tnan thirty to die. We should
like to see the custom introduced into
Dakota of observing an arbor day when
every body would feel called upon to
plant one OF more trees. The first year
that Minnesota adopted this custom
over million of trees were planted.
Let our own favored county of Penn
hina lead off in q movement in this
direction. A trihing effort followed
:'y Il little patience will bring most
gratifying return.
