The Town Cow Discussed.

One OF the most snnoying things that
the country people have to contend with
is the ordinary town COW When the tar

OF bis sleigh or sled;a bountiful srmful

pose Of oeat and to keep the feet Of
himself and the good wife warm. He
arrives at town, uulosds his wife in front
of some store and proceeds 10 hitch his
ho,ss at some poiot about the public
square. M sooner is bis hack turned
than dozen starved cows Immediately
surround his sled, and before be can say
Jack Robinson with bis mouth open"
every straw in his sled has gone through
the gastric ori6ces OF the Aforesaid cows.
We noticed one particularly careful fell
low the other day. Alter hitching. his
team he took his hay and carried it into
the court house yard. He was going to
have the dead wood on that bunch OF hay
and departed for the store With grin on
bis face. We watched the proceeding
with considerable interest. He Was not

the pile and chewed il up. Clubbing these
lean kline does no goei; In fact they
rather enjoy the fun. You can take an
ordinary stick OF cord wood and bounce
1t of their carcssses City feet high and
they will turn around and smile ct you
They don't even grunt when you hit them
hard enough to stave in their ribs. Such
punish nent only seems to act as tonic !;
il wheis their appetites and makes tbem
enjoy the repsst which the farmer has
bsuld to them from bis home many miles
defiant And after 1t is all over, just no.

so troublesome that neither myself nor

cleared out Of the cabin and store rooms.

the desired effect, the rats taking shelter

A Farmers Institute will be held at Mayville,
d. T., June under the auspices
Of the Trail County Agricultural Society, and
under the personal supervision Of Prof. E. D.
Porter, Of the State University, of Minneapolis.
An effort will be made to make this institute
the the most profitable agricultural meeting
ever held in Northern Dakota. The unbound
cd success which has attended tho Institutes
throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota is evil
dence Of the benefits to be derived and the es-
timation in which they are held by the farming
community. They are not only calculated to
advance the interests Of practical agriculture,
but are destined to elevate and ennoble the oc-
cupation until 1t stands, where 1t should, on
level with other professions. Practical infor,
nation will be given in plain, concise man.
ner; questions will be answered by men CON-
peteHt to answer.
Prof. Porter is unquestionably tho aDlest man
in his profession in the Northwest. He is not
only scientist, but practical farmer, full Of
enthusiasm, and wllole-souled, genial gen.
tleman, whose acquaintance you will be de.
lighted to make. You will meet at this insti
tnte many Of the most intelligent farmers O.
the Red river valley. Farmers Of Trail ant
adjoining counties, you are most cordially in
vited to attend this institute.

The NuDtial Event.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2.-The president
and Miss Folsom were duly married this even-
ing. About half past elk The wedding guests
began to arrive, their carriages rolling up to
the main door of the mansion through the
great iron gates on Pennsylvania avenue. For
a few moments the gu. SITS chatted gaiy, but
conversation was quickly suspended at quar-
ter past seven, when a selected orchestra from
the marine band stationed in the corridor struck
up the familiar strains of the wedding march
from Mendelsohn's 'Midsummer's Night
Dream" and all eyes were turned to the door,
way to catch the first glimpse the coming
bride and groom starting from the western
corridor on the upper floor. The president
came slowly down the western staircase with
his bride leaning on his arm. They were un-
accompanied, even the brides mother await
ing her with the other guests. Passing through
the central corridor, tho bride and groom en-
tered the blue room and took position uear
it's southern wall, which was completely hid
den from sight by the mass Of nodding palms,
tropical grasses and an endless variety Of choice
flowers. The president was in full evening
dress, with turn down collar, white lawn neck
tie and white enameled studs. The impressive
but brief marriage ceremony was then admin
istered, after which all present rendered con-
gratulations and the band played. The SOU
venirs were numerous and very elegant and
the repast fitting the occasion.
