settled upon orchard garss as pos
sessing greater merit than any other,
for both pasture and meadow, for
fattening animals or for dairystock.
My own experience of twenty years
is with the latter. When cut for
hay, just before its bloom, and
cured with as little sun as possible,
it will make more milk, with better
quality, than any other variety
known to me. If left to ripen, it
is, like all other kinds of grass in
the same stage, worthless. Our
twenty COWS are fed on other hay
during the weather, and, though a
large proportion are in milk, many
of them are fit for beef in the spring,
The yield of butter is far above the
average in quantity and quality; it
is not easy to distinguish butter
made in June and January. For
pasture, orchard grass is as good as
for meadow. l have one lot partly
seeded to this grass; the remainder
is In native grasses, and counted
very good,but the COWS have a pref
erence for the plat of orchard grass,
never allowing one stalk to 90 to
seed, while other portions of the
held can be mown with profit. 1t
is always green and fresh when
other grasses are brown and dry.
1t makes permanent meadows or
pastures; it yields far more than
other grasses. When sown thick
enough, it does not grow in tussocks.
Many weeds, such as the daisy, will
not grow in the same field. 1t
shades the ground in summer, and
if allowed a few weeks rest from
cropping in the fall, will mulch it in
the winter. Wherever it is grown,
the land seems to become richer all
the time. Ilhaye seen it sown on
the ground infected with quack to
such an extent that it could not be
titled to advantage, and in five OF
six years not one quack root could
be found; it was smothered. | was
the first to grow it in this section;
now hundreds of farmers are rails
ing it, and in every instance con-
slider it superior as a forage plant
One OF my neighbors has fine
pasture of this grass, and to my
certain knowledge he stocked three
times during the summer with
store cattle, and in each instance
they were cold to the butcher at the
end of about two months. Hundreds
of bushels Of the seed are being
sown annually in the United States
One scotsman tells me his average
is 600 bushels against twenty fifteer
years ago. There is no delusior
about it; it is the coming grass"

Within the Arctic Circle "the
midnight sum- has now lost his
power, and the forces of congelation
are getting into play. But the first
efforts of this change are small in
our latitudes. The probabilities
now are that, with two or three
"cool waves" intervening, which will
cause frost in the Northwest and
Northern New England (but not SO
heavy as those of last September),
the average temperature Of the
present month will be higher than
it usually is in the sections east of
the Mississippi river. 1t is also
probable that during the next two
or three weeks exceptionally heavy
rainfalls will occur in the Northwest

Missouri valleys,and rather deficient
precipitation on the Atlantic sea-
board, except in the event Of the
passage of more than one hurricane

absence of distinct indications of

anything definite as to when one of

an Irishna,a's Experience.
brooklyn n. j., Eagle. !

For the time being Mr.. James G.. Blaine
is consumed with devotion to Ireland. If
Irish American citizens vote for him it will.
if we do not misunderstood his advocates,
be difficult to prevent him from making war
on England and blowing up London. He
has more than dynamiter's hatred of the
queen and all the royal family because of
the wrongs inflicted by them on the land of
the Barney stone. We judge, however,
from letter published by the San Francisco
Examiner, that there are some Irishmen who
have misgivlngs as to Blaine's sincerity
The author of the letter Is now known TO
fame as an American citizen who by reason
of Mr.. Blaines vigorous foreign policy''
was compelled to inhabit an Irish Jail for
some eighteen months. He was accused of
no crime; he was never tried and he was
discharged without redress of any form. By
the letter before US it appears that he was
naturaliZed in California in 1860, that he
lived and prospered in San Francisco for
many years, and that ne went to Ireland on
The advice OF his physician, Dr. William
Jones, his health having been broken down.
What happened to him on the other side is
told in his own language:
am bona fide citizen of the United States
home or abroad, by which l forfeited my
right to claim the protection of the flag of
my adopted county. icame to this country

and sentenced to eighteen months imprison-
ment without any form of trial. l was con-
fined fourteen months and ten days in a

period. ! committed no crime known to the
laws of this country, was charged with
none. appealed to James G.. Blaine, secre-
tary of state for the United States, to protect
me. Ny wife appealed to him on my behalf.
He created our appeals with cold indifference.
He did not condescend even to reply. This
was Mr.. Blaine's vigorous foreign policy"
when he was in a position to demand and
procure the release of the American suspects
imprisoned In this country. Under these
circumstances would ask the freemen of our
great, glorious and free republic: Will they
trust the man who suffered the spotless emb-
lem Of liberty, the Stars and Stripes, to be
disgraced and trampled on by Queen Vic
toria's hirelings! d. MCSwEENEY.
CARRow CANNON HOUSE, Ireland, September
6, 1884. -.a,E
It would appear from this that Mr.. Blaine's
devotion to Ireland has developed with great
rapidity under the influence of the Irish vote
in the United States.

At the recent dedication of the new Metho-
dist church at Blunt debt of 81, 200 was en-
tirely liQuidated, which speaks well for the
enterprise and prosperity of the place.
Parties who have occasion to visit south
Dakota are enthusiastic over the fact that the
Fargo Southern makes close connection with
the Milwaukee at OrtOnville and saves many
hundred miles travel and days time. 1t
brings the sections into neighborng rela-
tions. If there had been more acquaintance
between the south and north, there would be
less desire for division.
The Watertown Courier rejoices with good
reason in this: The new roads will be com
pleted to this city by Nov. LIST. This is the
best piece or luck that ever befel any western
city. The day they arrive will mark an epoch
in our history. Let us celebrate it in a man
ner becoming the magnitude of the benefit
the roads will confer upon the city. Saturday
November 1st, 1884, should be celebrated in
Watertown in a manner that will make it a
day never to be forgotten.
The Aberdeen Republican says that the as
sistant engineer of the Chicago 81 Milwaukee
road has been in the county west of here for
more than six weeks for the purpose of as
ccrtalnlnS the best route from one OF the
four terminal routes of that company in this
territory to the Black Hills. There is every
indication, it says, that the company intends
to extend one of its roads to the Hills, but
which is probably not determined.
The first settlement in Mcintosh county
was made in May. Col Lounsberry saws of its
pretty lacustrine metropolis: Hoskins is about
eighty-fve miles southeast Of Bismarck, and is
forty-two west of Glendale, on direct line
for the Rock Island railroad from Aberdeen
to Bismarck. The rapid development seems
to be due to the fact that there is a larger
body of smooth land there than is usually
found in one county, where every section is
open to settlement at Sl.25 per acre. Seven
townships have been surveyed and plats
filed, and surveyors will complete the county
this fall.
The Deuel. County Adyocdte says of the new
roads: The two new lines of railway now
being constructed through this country are
being vigorously pushed. The Minneapolis
IL st. Louis, running through the northern
portion of our county, now has the iron laid
to within about thirty miles from Watertown
and expect TO reach there about November
LIST. The Burlington, Cedar Rapids IL North
ern, running through the southern and CEN
trail portion of the county, now have the iron
laid within about fifteen miles of Clear Lake,
and expect to reach Watcrtown about the
18th or Goth of November.

No trace is found in Fargo of this party
reported by the Fergus Falls telegram, nor is
learned that the kind of ''farm girls'' sought
has diminished of late: VIII Slack, recently
night clerk at the Bell house, on THURSDAY
left the town for trip to Fargo ostensibely
for the purpose of sending down a detach-
ment of girls for ''the farm in the suburbs
of the city here. He sent message to the
proprietors to the effect that If they would
telegraph him S15 for the railroad expenses
the girls would be shipped by return train.
carriage was in waiting for the return train
and in fact for two or three return trains.
but the girls failed to materialize.
Upon inquiring it was found out
that Mr.. Slack had hardly been
acting upon the straight ticket. Before leav-
ing he had been generous in his borrowings.
From Jim Hill, the other clerk, he borrowed
d gold watch, an old family relic, from
Harry Slocum, another man around the hotel.
he borrowed revolver aud S11 To buy un-
derclothing with. The Undertaking he
bought alright, but unfortunately for the
store keeper be had it charged to his account
He also borrowed gold ring worth sis from
Ole Harris, ruu up good sized bill at Hays
saloon and made sundry little loans from
every available friend Whether he will sue
coed so well in his next field
remains TO be seen. His
friends and Fergus are well rid of him.

4 Hot Chase.

The Glendive Times gives this account of
the arrest of Que of the gangs of illegal horse
thieves after the chase: The officers met
Mclaughlin and Tom Allen just above Scots
ranch and ordered Glands up" McLaugh-
lin complied, but the kid wheeled and run
for SCOTS, with two of the deputies, King
and Zall, in pursuit and firing The kid
could not manage his horse and shoot TOO.
or there is no doubt he would have returned
the FIRE, as he pulled his gun. The horse
struck for the herd when they arrived at
Scott's, and the kid jumped off and ran into
the house where Hayden and Anderson were.
The deputies arriving surrounded the house
and ordered those inside to come out with
out arms, which they did. The kid has only
been with the party few weeks as herder.
and we understand IS held for evidence.
Whether these men are horse thieves or no;
remains for the court to decide, but it is GER
tain they were arrested as such.

sio,,n Fnlls Constitution.

South Dakota will not probably ask to be
admitted under the Sioux Falls constitution
that was nominalIy voted on and adopted
last year. The legislature will be asked to
initiate movement for the south, giving it
something of legal form and shape. The
north, however, will object to having the ex-
pense come out of the common treasury, as
they don't feel like paying for state that
does not include them. While there is ap-
parent unanimity in favor of division, there
is perceptible undercurrent in favor of the
admission of the entire territory as one grand
state, with the population and congressman
of Nebraska In regard to the 1888 consti-
tuition, the Billings Press says:
Some men with no respect whatever for
the dead, still persist in trying to dig up the
old Sioux Falls constitution. Dakota don't
want constitution which says the legisla-
ture may regulate corporations, but one
which says the legislature shall regulate
them.

Smash fUe Mirror

This amusing incident related by the Can
ton NeloS as occurring in that place, in some
of its features, is believed to have been
known in other localities, and is valuable for
the moral: A young lady went to a neigh
boris to sit up with sick child. The beau
of the neighborhood was also present aud
late in the evening he urged her to retire.
She replied, lit would be too bad for you to
sit up alone, but he said, sob, 1 will call
, naming sister of the sick child.
which he did. The young lady then went in
to the room adjoining and laid down, but
from her position she could see large mir
ror which hung so that it reflected the move
ments Of the beau aud ''his girl" Motion
ing with his hand, he beckoned her to come
and sit on his knee and she Immediately
obeyed. Such billing and cooling the young
lady never saw before and the couple in
stead of watching the child seemed utterly
oblivious of everything except themselves.
MORAL: Smash the mirror before you en-
brace your girl.

Hnnd IkelIlS.

This incident by the Hand Press has been
referred to: Monday morning the citizens
of Miller were Mortified with the news that
B. F. Aver, of 1909, had committed suicide
10y hanging. Mr.. Aver was well and fayora-
bly, known by several of our towns people,
and was highly respected citizen of the
township in which he lived. He has for
some time been sufferer with what is known
as Brights disease. About the first of last
June and again six weeks later he made at
tempts to hang himself. At various times
since he has had spells of mental alteration
Deceased was widower and leaves five chill
dren, all young men.
The Hand Press says: A noble specimen
of a gray eagle, that measured nine feet from
tip to tip, was captured last week about seven
miles northwest of Miller by Geo. Mitten-
berger. 1t was caught in wolf trap by one
toe and even that toe when loosened was not
broken. He was tied in the blacksmith shop
one night with an inch leather strap wrapped
around one leg twice. In the morning he
was running loose in the shop, having torn
the leather to pieces with his beak. He
is splendid bird, and is in good con
dition to be sent to the New Orleans ex-
position.

publican and Democratic tickets and sup
ports them about equally.

by the Republicans in Grant county, was
gallant soldier and always stanch Demo-
crat until he left Illinois for Dakota.
The county conventions called to meet at
Bookings have been deferred, as the city
council have prohibited any public gather
lngs on account of the small poX.
The Grand Forks Herald wants the egisla-
ture to abolish the Dakota grain inspector
ship, which it pronounces a humbug and an
mex to Minneapolis and Duluth. The Herald
supports the anti-Walsh legislative ticket.
Col. Tyner, the postmaster, has been
urged by the Republican committees to
stump Indiana. He went there and made
one speech, powerful effort, and could
hardly get away from the enthusiastic hoo
siers.
The Dakota Herald, the Oldest Democratic
organ, suggests: Democrats throughout the
territory should make it personal matter to
see that tickets headed with the name of John
b. Wilson are in every election precinct in
their respective counties on election day.
This note by the Brookings Press will apply
to almost every county in Dakota: The po-
litical fences all over the territory seem to be
in very bad state of repair, and strange
cattle are found browsing in almost every
pasture. The ldoseness in the matter of
branding for the past year or so has created
a large number Of ''Masricks,' - which to-
gether with the fact that large number seem
inclined TO try and hide their brand, makes
great confusion at the 'roundups."
The combination county ticket prepared for
Cass by the caucus on the 18th, has some of
the best and strongest men upon it, and it is
probable some of them will be elected if The
alleged Democratic ticket can be absorbed in
it. The conclave that day which got the
Legislative ticket, blundered evidently in
selecting three out of the six members from
Cass. This may aid to carry Cass county,
but there are five other counties who will be
likely to kick at it and vote it down.
1t looks as if a visit from Mr. Blaine would
be necessary at Moorhead TO save the g. o. p.
from great shrinkage. Some well informed
parties claim that most of the Republican
ticket will be beaten in Clay county, and
even a majority secured for Cleveland.
Knute Nelson viii carry it, however, without
a doubt. 1t is probable that there will be a
change in the management of the Daily NeUS
after election. Mr.. Lamphere desires to
retire as he has acquired fortune, and there
is strong desire for Mr.. Foote to take it.

Raymond's Arous Interview.

In his Argus interview Delegate Raymond
expresses these views which are of more in
terest than the political opinions he failed to
indicate: Rep.-Whatis your opinion of the
prospects for wheat growing in the north
west!
Mr.. R.-My personal experience proves to
me that it can and will be done successfully.
Even at sixty cents bushel / will make a
fair margin on my grain this year. Farmers,
l believe, must learn to raise their own pork
vegetables, stock, poultry, ETC., all of which
L have demon strated to my own satisfaction
can be raised probably, before they can OBJ
tain the best results from Dakota farming.
1t is nonsense to be sending money out of
the territory for the above mentioned com
modities when We all know they can be
proftably raised here. Summer following
is proftably way to treat land that has been
sown to wheat several years, and will be
practiced more by farmers as its merits be-
come known.
Rep.-What about wheat grades, cap
tain!
Mr.. R.-There seems to be no doubt that
the work of grading the wheat at many points
is in the hands of incompetent parties, and
would favor any measure that would seem
to be in the direction of righting the injus-
tice, which l understand is done the wheat
raisers in many localities. The construction
of the elevators at Duluth and Minneapolis
by farmers companies and operated in their
interest, would, think, be move in the
right direction.
Rep.-Do you think, Captain Raymond,
that wheat. will soon command better
figure!
Mr.. R.-Emphatically yes; 1 am holding
all my grain, and will do so for several
months yet if the prices do not improve.
If this could be generally done think it
would have the effect of forcing prices up to
point much more satisfactory to the wheat
raiser.
