If paper has been laid under the
carpet all dust may be easily removed
with it.
Mortar and paint may be easily re-
moved from window-glass with ho'
sharp vinegar.
Miller to Farmer: How is it on
measuring out those six barrels OF APP
pies you left in my cellar, they were
one barrel short? Farmer: L can
tell; / used one of your barrels 10
measure them in, and heaped them
up every time. Miller: this is 1lhe
day try cigar.
The official census returns OF St.
Paul and Minneapolis were filed with
the Secretary of State Saturday, ana
show the population of st. Paul TO 20
Ill 1897, gain of 50, 924 over the census
of 1850; Minneapolis, 129, 20O,a gain OF
2,4l3. This will settle the question
as to which is the larger city, ana
the daily papers of those two cltles
should give the people at large rest
OH that subject.
Litchfield News Lekger: Itaska
county is very peculiarly situated II
regard to population. In 1889 there
were but 124 persons in the county, ln-
Guiding our copper-faced brothers; IN
1882 at the time of the great struggle
in the fifth district between Kindred
and Nelson, there were 643 votes cast
in the county; and now the census
enumeration cannot find more than 227
inhabitants. Funny, isn't it?
The San Francisco Pacific contro-
verts the prevailing idea that a general
use of light wines prevents intemper-
ance. 1t says: Our impression is
that the lowest, slQwest, most litter
ate, most unimprovable, tfnot vicious
population outside of the great cities
is found in the oldest wine districts of
this State, and that the use ofthe pro-
duct of vineyards has been the most
active cause of this condition of the
population" Further the use OF wine
has not diminished the consumption
of distilled liquors or beer, but on the
contrary has increased it by creating
an appetite for stronger drinks.
Says the Kansas Cow Boy: Some
of our ranchmen are embarking in the
business of raising buffaloes. There
are about fifty head on the range of
the Francklyn Land and Cattle Com
pany, and there are also some buffa-
loes on the Goodnight range. G. j..
Jones of Garden City has also some.
The Francklyn Company are paying
$50 head for buffalo CALVES. There
Is herd of 1900 buffaloes in the
western portion of the Neutral Strip.
When buffalo robes are worth from
SIS to $40 apiece and buffalo steak
twelve and one-half cents pound, in
the Dodge City market, it would seem
as if there was money in buffalo rails
ing. A dozen years ago millions Of
buffaloes roamed at will over these
plains, and they were slaughtered for
fun and for their robes. 1t would
not be surprising if they would yet
be more valuable than beef cattle.
The benefit of clover and manure Oh
all worn soils, especially where there
has been two much wheat cropping, is
Enthusiastically demonstrated on the
farm of w. Boright, adjoining town.
There are ten or twelve aGras that
were In clover couple of years and
were MANFRED, where the wheat is
from four to five feet high, with large
heads, indicating a yield of at least 25
bushels per acre, while in the same
old field where there has not been
clover or manure the wheat is only
from 20 to 90 inches high, and the
yield will be not more than ten BUSH
els per acre. Ifhalf the old land Oh
prairie farms more especially was put
into grass; and alternated over the
farm, the remaining half would yield
more grain with half the labor Of
course, than the whole farm produces,
and the pasturage and hay would be
an additional gain. At any rate, let
every load of manure that can be OBJ
tanned be put upon the farm.-La
