1t appears to be notable fact that the
best farmers, and the best stockmen are
the very best friends of newspapers.
1t is generally the old fogy and the
nc'er-do-wells, that scott at "book and
newspaper larnln," and if they are in
duced to take their home county PAPER
they never read it. The progressive
farmers, those who get thirty bushels of
wheat to the acre, and own fine, fat.
sleek cattle and horses, are invariably
men whose sitting room table will be
generously supplied with, not only local
newspapers, but agricultural Journals.
books relating to stock, to feeding ami
mails, which contain the thoughts and
experiments of able men, who devote
their time and energies to advance the
cause of agriculture and to learn how TO
produce more abundant crops, as well as
to surround their stock with the best
conditions for raising them successfully
and probably.
Every farmer in the Northwest will be-
benefited greatly by subscribing to one
or more good agricultural papers, and if
one is published near by it certainly
should be regular visitor in the family.
The Northwestern Farmer, published
at Fargo, Dakota, is doing good work
Throughout the Northwest, and We have
decided to offer il to every old subscriber
as well as to all new subscribers in con.
nectlon with the PIONEER ExprEss for
" year, the subscription being paid in
advance. Or, YOU can order the North
western Farmer direct from Fargo for
one dollar per year in advance. We will
have sample copies sent to any address
on application,

A Word to the Wise.

George Thompson, Grocer. of the old
Express Office, Pelnbina, says he does
not beliye in blowing his horn to loudly
through the press. He would advise
purchasers to look around them and sec
for themselves, should they drop into his
store, lie can do all the blowing himself
by serving them we'll and at moderate
prices. Folks begin to look out, not in
the way Patrick did it on passing
through tunnel on board the cars. He
unfortunately stuck his head out and il
came in contact with u rock which, caused
him q confusion; he said thesei Yankees
were queer folks 7; when they said look
out, they meant to look IN. Ct
