Does Flax Pay Best,

The following is an interview with
a Minnesota farmer which appeared
in the American Agriculturist:
"Wheat" he said, did not pay.
Flax best crop. Brings n dollar
and twelve cents per bushel." An
other man condemned writers; they
exaggerate. Instead Of wheat yield
ing twenty to thirty bushels per acre,
eight to ten is nearer the mark. In
stead of one dollar per bushel, sixty
and eighty cents, and this year thirty
and fifty cents. Best No. 2, hard
wheat at elevator in Tracey, forty
eight cents; very little as good as this.
Oats, eighteen cents. Goats, this
year pay better than wheat said Mr..
Nevins, ''last year 1 sold my wheat
from the machine for eighty cents
per bushel, this year it will not bring
fifty cents. Oats, last year, sold for
seventeen cents, this year, eighteen
cents. 1t is easier to raise fifty bush
els of oats per acre, than eighteen
bushels of wheat" "Flax seed,''
said Mr.. Walsh, sis being grown ex-
tensively. 1t is a convenient ami
profitable crop on the ~ prairies
which when broken up in May and
Immediately sown to flax, broadcast.
three pecks to one bushel of seed per
acre, yield eight to twelve bushels
per acre. On old land, yield fifteen
to twenty bushels, sometimes twenty
five bushels. Sells readily ut n dol
lar and twelve cents per bushel."
Landlord,-sIf farmers will take
the money they get for the flax and
pay their debts, and then if they will
put any money they get afterwards,
in stock, they will get rich. Four years
ago any number of two-year-old
steers could have been bought fol
fifteen dollars a head, now they AT
worth twenty to twenty-five dollars

THE bill now before the legislature
for the repeal of the herd law is II
that should not be passed in haste
and without the most careful consid-
Grafton. The eastern portion of Bill
lings county from a few miles west
of Belfeld is a strictly agricultural
country and the farmers there need
protection against the herds of the
Bad Lands. One Of the substantial
farmers of South Heart informed
lis this week that the repeal of this
law for the whole of Billings county
would ruin the farmers there and
that if he had no protection from the
roaming herds Of cattle he would
abandon his homestead and leave the
country. He claimed this was the
feeling of most of the farmers in his
neighborhood. The farmers do not
object to its repeal for the Bad Lands,
but the line should he drawn there.
The question for the legislature to de-
eide is simply this; "shall we turn the
farming lands of the West Missouri
country rel to the cattle kings or re-
serve them for the honest tilllers OF
the SOIL The farmers ask protec
tion at the hands of their representa-
lives and it should be granted regard
less of the lobby now at the capita
Murking in the interest Of the foreign
m%onopolists and cattle kings.

Frontier Poverty.

The poverty of the frontier, where
all are engaged in a common struggle.
and wlsers a common sympathy and
hearty cooperation tighten the bur-
dens of each, is a very different pow.
erty. different in kind, different in in
t1uence, and effect. from that con
scious and humiliating indulgence
which is every day forced to con.
trast itself with neighboring wealth
on which it feels a sense of grinding
dependence. The poverty of the
frontier is indeed no poverty, 1t is
but the beginning of wealth, and has
the boundless possibilities of the
future always opening before it.

The following is the decision of
Judge Francis in the cast involving
the tenure of office of the old justices
OF the peace:
Territory of Dakota VS.. VIM. II.
Cuskelly. Submitted upon facts
agreed upon, in place of proceedings
on writ of habeus corpus.
The real point presented for decis.
ion is, the tenure Of office of justice,
of the peace appointed by the county
commissioners, in the first instance,
on the organization of Stark county
in 1883. The words "the officers
specified in the next section of this
act" in section | of chapter 2l of the
political code, refer to county COM
missioners appointed by the governor
which were the only officers named
in said section 2 rs originally enacted.
The words sail officers" in the amend
ment to said section 2, laws of 81
chapter 10 embraced in the words be-
eiiiilA1S WALL plOSANCN dloO lCl1CO
only to such county commissioners.
Such = construction and reasoning
leaves section 3 of said chapter q
intact and avoids an irr%econcilahle
conflict between it and said amend.
ment Of 1881. Justices of the peace,
then, appointed by county commits
sioners OH the organization of a coun.
ty ''hold their office until the next
general election, and until their sue.
cessors shall have been elected and
qualified" us provided in section 8.
Therefore Geo. Aud, who was ap
pointed a justice Of the peace by the
county commissioners of Stark coun
ty soon after the organization Of tina
county in 1883, there having been n,
justices Of the peace elected at tn,
next general election, in 1884, hold
his office until tho next general cleo
tion, 1888, and until his successor i
elected and qualified. Should hi
office become vacant by reason of hi
resignation or death, or otherwis,
the vacancy can be filled as provide
by law.
