Farm Notes,

Wire cloth answers well as protection to
corncrihs against rats and mice. It can be used
as lining to the walls and floors.
An authority on butter making says that if
the crown of the turnip be cut off and only the
bottom of the bulb be given there will be 40
turnlp flavor to milk
Persian insect powder is a good remedy for
destroying ticks on sheep With the little bel
lows that is usually sold with it apply it, all over
the body, 1t should be used ON lambs before the
wool is well grown. On old sheep the application
is more difficult
Many young chickens are killed by being fed
too much water with their meal and especially
if corn meal is fed, which is very concentrated
food. The wet masses are compacted in the
stomach SO that they cannot be well discsted If
corn is fed ii is better for young chickens if
broken into small pieces and fed dry but wheat
without breaking Is better still.
The most satisfactory remedy for cabbage
worm tried IN the New Jersey experiment sta
ton was mixtdre of half a pound each of hard
soap and kerosene, in three gallons of water.
1t was applied near the end of August, and de-
stroyed in a few hours Deally all the worms on
the cabbages to which it was applied. Other
remedies which were not successful were pepper,
saltpeter etc.
The Messenger gives the following as indica-
tors of soil: Broom sedge indicates slicioue,
albnminal soil pig weed and dock, good sub
soil; sap weed, potash soil: poverty grass. a
wornout soil; red piney, barren soil; wire
grass, strong soil; crab grass, rich surface
soil; sassafras and mullen show want of cal
careous elements; sumae indicates potash while
sorrel indicates a deficiency of lime.
Farmers cannot expect to raise choice vege-
tables without labor now, but the garden plat
really pays better than field crops for the time
and labor given it. Weed seeds are terminating
rapidly, and most garden soils well filled with
them. The hoe and the rake must be piled con
stantly weeds will get the bestof the struggle.
Throwing the earth up a little around most
growing vegetables is better than Level culture.

Household Hints.

Vinegar is better than ice for keeping fish over
night in hot weather.
A crimson table cover gives warm look to a
room. and the effect is heightened by making it
long enough to touch the carpet.
Provide yourself with a little strainer before
you begin the operation of putting UP fruit it is
so much more satisfactory to dip with.
To give glass great brilliancy, wash with a
damp sponge dipped IN spirits; then dust with
powdered blue or whiting tied in muslin bag
and polish with chamois skin
The odor of onions can be effectaaIly removed
from the frying pan by boiling little wood as21es

country. Prices many articles are low be-
yond precedent, and merchants complain of
small margins, but are hopeful as to the future
of business Locally there is nothing new to
note. The receipts of eggs continue light, but
the supply is still equal to present wants, which
are also light and prices remain unchanged
Our quotations, it should be borne in mind are
for fresh stock. No improvement in the
demand for butter, and not likely to
be until the weather eools off. There
is a fair business in cheese, but prices
continue of6sh. Cabbage, green beans and pota-
toes were in good demand to-day and easier in
price. New apples berries and cherries were in
fair request at prices quoted. Liberal supplies
of potatoes are locked for from the South within
the next few days. The New York Shipping
List speaks hopefully 1t says With the tinan-
eial situation making daily progress the crop
outlook one of promise and encouragement, the
severe conservatism practiced in every depart
ment of trade and industry, and the steady
elimination of the gambling features of trade,
which. for the sake of suphony, have been
termed speculative operations it is difficult to
perceive how more healthy condition of affairs
could well exist The decline in wheat corn

The Creel Case.

The district court adjourned at Grand
Forks Wednesday noon without reach
ing the trial Of the criminal charges
against H. NJ. Creel, and his case goes
over until the April term. The grand
jury found five indictments against Croel,
as follows:
Two for assault and battery upon his
wife.
One for assault with deadly weapon
upon his brother-law, Edgar In Rue.
One for assault with deadly weapon
upon II. L. Prescott.
One for assault with deadly weapon
upon l.. T. Achenbach.
Tho delays interposed by Creel's coun-
sci prevented a hearing Of either case at
this term, and Creel was placed under
bonds in tho sum of 5000 to appear at
the April term of court. We understand
that Creel's personal and political friend
Col. Ferris and his political and personal
friend George Walsh went on his bond.

eyes, development at and about
Devils Lake beats the record this year,"
remarked young Mr.. Dana, Of the
thrifty town by the north shore of d.
kota's sailed sea, as he shed his ulster
and prepared to tell q Day mon all
about it. "From 10 to 20 emigrant
wagons, prairie schooners you would
call them perhaps, come trailing into
the country every day and that has
been the rule all season. There has
been no cold weather to check the tide
vet. Never saw brighter or more con-
genial weather in the state. A great
many people are coming in on the rail-
roads and they will continue TO come
all winter while the weather will even
tually be q little too squally for the
schooners. As pro<'f Of the volume of
new emigration and the thrifty charac-
ter of the new comers, I need but cite
the fact that since the land Office was
opened. up at Devils Lake there have
been 10000 entries in that district.
'The fire at Devils Lake city which
burned the greater part of the town last
spring was blessing in disguise, for the
cheap frame buildings destroyed have
given place to substantial brick struc-
lures. The rapid development of the
rich lands in the tributary territory
warranted permanent improvements.
One store in the town averages from
$500 to $1,000 worth of retail trade a
day. Admonished by the big fire and
justified by the business and improve
ments Of the town, Devils Lake has now
an organized fire department, with one
engine and four cisterns. A quarter OF
a million bushels Of wheat have already
been marketed at the city this season at
prices ranging from AZ to 63 cents, with
much more held in the hope that higher
prices may yet prevail. There was
double the breaking this year that there
was last and 80 per cent. more ofstubble
backset. Now don't laugh and look in
credulous when l add that we raised
some we'll developed and matured early
Dent corn. Squaw corn had been
grown there before, as you are aware.
The idea that our nights are too cold
and the season too short for corn grow
! ing is popular delusion which we have
| dispelled. Here have a memoranda
Of the weather for June, July, August
and September which shows that Y
days were clear and As rainy or cloudy
During the year there was q inches o.
rainfall. The first frost came October
l, and the frost disappeared from the
ground last spring on May Z. So yor
see we have had five months free from
frost this season. We will be shipping
hogs to St. Paul some bright day."

solomon IN tho Sna0e.

When Solomon was asked to decide
which of two women child belonged
to hs called for his sword and proposed
to cut the child in two and give half
to each; the real mother went into hys-
terics, and Solomon decided in her fav-
or. But at the mixed court, a few
mornings ago, an actual division was
made, and Solomon's judgment was
put in the shade. The chattel in dis
pute was black dog, with his tail
clipped bare except at the extremity,
which retained some long hair. The
dog was quite unconcerned, and went
snufing around the arena and under
the court table at the magistrates feet,
or wherever his tether would allow him
to extend his explorations. The claim
ants for the dog were butcher and
a washerman. The butchers assistant
held string, with the dog at the end of
it. The washerman held a basket in
his hand containing hair which he had
clipped from the, dogs tail, and which
he produced in proof of ownership. MIR.
Howes, inspector of markets, stated
that he had known the butcher for many
ears, and that he had seen the dog at
his place; and that he believed the dog
belonged to the butcher. 1t was also
stated by the police that an experiment
had been tried at Hongkow police sta
ton; the washerman called on the dog
but it would not follow him; but
when the butcher called, the dog heard
his masters voice and knew the sound
thereof. As a last resort to prove that
the dog loved him and belonged to hip,
the washerman pulled off his jacket and
showed plaster stuck between his
shoulder blades, saying that the dog
had bit him there. The magistrate de-
cided in favor of the washerman so fal
that he was allowed to keep the basket.

Life in Uruguay.

: Uruguay has a delightful climate,
temperate and pleasant. The mercury
does not rise above eighty-five degrees.
The climate is salubrious and the peo-
pie are subject to no disease in particu-
lar. There are thirty-four Americans
in Uruguay. The natives are remarka-
BILE for their refinement and intelligence.
They have a large number of good
schools and colleges. The revenue of
the country is $4,0O0,000. Their ex-
ports amount to 81, 100000 and their
imports to 100000. Twenty steamers
a day enter and depart from theport at
Montevideo. The people are engaged
largely in manufacturing and cattle
herding. Half million dollars worth
of cattle are killed each year for the
hides. 1t is a strange thing, but the
people there will not use mare in any
way. The street railway company put
them before the cars and the people re-
fused to ride in the cars. Fine animals
of this kind, which would sell here for
$50, are sold there for $5 and killed
for their hides. The natives are enter
prising and progressive. Ten years
ago they imported all of their wheat;
to-day they export 100000 bushels Of
their own production. Uruguay is a
beautiful, blooming country, and its
scenery is source Of perpetual light
to traveller within its bounds. / at
