As cheap, snug and handy a stable as
one would want is that Of Mr.. John
Goushinor, of Buchanan. 1t is large, dry
comfortable, and well drained. being Of
the "dug-out" pattern, partially. It is
built into steep hill, and one side and
parts of both ends are Of pure Dakota
dirt. Where the soil ends walls Of
dressed logs begin, and these, together
with the front side wall of the same ma
terial, are carefully chinksd and plas-
tered, and no warmer building for stock
could be desired, Being. built on side
hill, the drainage is Of course perfect
The roof, though inexpensively built is
also put on with view to warmth,
But this is not all. In the side wall Of /
dirt is door opening from the stable into
\ large cellar or cave, in which rutabagas,
potatoes and other vegetables wintered

.cellar is quite a distance under ground.
Any one with hill on his claim near the
point whore he wants to build stable,
would be repaid for taking the trouble to
look at Mr.. Goughinor's building.

Sheriff Wade Hits Back Hard.
GAyroN Morcl, On

To the Editor of the RECORD:
DEAR SIR: 1t is now too late to say
anything for or against division through
your paper but would like to say one
word to the party who wrote to the REC
ORD last week over the signature of "a
Subscriber We would like to know
who he is; but l have bet a span of mules
against pair of canary birds that we
never will. He simply signs his name,
"a Subscriber" but don't even go so far
as to tell whether he has paid his sub
scription or not. He says wrote letter
which no one seems to understand but
at the same time. he has put it on. and 1t
seems to tit him very we'll. Now. this is
what | meant in my letter Last fall
when | chose sides and supported the
present county seat, was promised that
Williamsport, its namesake and its intiu-
ence should stand with us solidly against
division. And how have these promises
been kept2 Here is = subscriber (and, as
understood before I wrote the letter in
question, many more) who are in favor of
division. He has gone back on his word,
which 10 probably all he has got, for, if
he had anything to pay taxes on, he
would never say division" Then, again,
he says: ut is all moonshine about high
taxes, and people going to leave the coun-
ty." Now, perhaps he will not have to
pay high tax; ; and, as for his leaving
the county, l will bet 25 cents, and put
the money up if can borrow it, that he
has not got money enough to leave the
county. But tell you, fellow citizens,
that own thousands of dollars worth of
property who will leave the county in
case it is divided. Now, again, this
county splitter says: eve want decent
courthouse at Willlamsport. He cannot
be very sharp. If he was, he would not
say anything about county buildings at
present. We know we are not very nu-
mcrous around Glencoe, Livona and Gay
ton; but We can prevent any immediate
courthouse building scheme. Ihave been
criticized and found fault with because 1
wrote the letter in question; but it hit
the mark, and am not sorry wrote it.
am opposed to paying taxes to build up
any town, no, matter where it is located.
| say, let us have good roads, good
schools, and good bridges, and the money
we pay for taxes will be of some benefit
to each taxpayer. And, when our county
becomes more populous and wealthy, then
we will vote for county buildings Now,
it may be no one will understand the
above but I have written rs plainly as
my humble thoughts can run. In con-,
clusion will say In the future, when
any one writes on so important question
as county division, let him sign his name
in full, SO that the readers of the RECORD
and the voters of the county may know
whether the writer il a townsite boomer,
an office seeker, or a nonresident who
writes in favor of some scheme" Twill
say, finally, that I am yours, very truly,

An Interesting Relic.

Recently traveller between Fort Yates
and Bismarck found upon the prairie not
far from Gayton the skull of squaw.
The novelty OF the relic lies in the fact
that all the hair and skin remains on the
skull, and is permanently attached
thereto. The scalp and the skin of the
face have been preserved by the drying
process of the sun and cling to the bone.
The scalp having retained its fiber and

A Dakota Farmer ON Flax-Raising.
The following communication gives
some good practical points for fax-rais-9
ing in Dakota. A correspondent of the
Grand Forks Herald says:
"Sow best Russian seed upon spring
breaking Immediately after breaking Ito
allow seed to have good start over weeds)
and harrow we'll, also lightly after seed
ing, but rolling is preferred. Sow about
20 quarts to the acre, and it should not be
put in later than June 10, with broad
cast sceder without hose. Cut when the
bolls are brown, with an ordinary har-
vester with straight knife, not using the
binder. as flax does not need binding after
day 8 cutting. Have two rows placed
in one to make room sufficient for wagon
to pass between (as the flax shells very
easily and it is necessary to use all proper
precaution to save the seed), then collect
with wagon with man on each side to
load but no loader on wagon to trample
the fax then place in stack same as hay,
and thresh with flax attachments to the
thresher, from the stack. The flax straw
can be used as fodder for stock, and /
would give it the preference for cattle
over hay. Ordinary wet weather will not
hurt flax the same as wheat, and in my
estimation raising of flax is preferable
to wheat. The above is my experience
in raising fax in Iowa. The yield aver
aged % bushels, and think the soil Of
Northern Dakota is specially adapted to
raising fax, and intend to SOW 200 acres
the coming season."
