Owing to the low price of wheat
farmers are becoming less careful to
keep it free from rye. The two grains
vary little in value by weight, and
there are many farmers who think that
they produce better crops when grown
together than either would separately.
1t looks sloyenly to see wheat and rye
growing together; but if rye gets in
the farm, more or less will appear in
the wheatfield every season. Years
ago, farmers used to cut out the rye
lust as its tall stalks peered above the
wheat; but little of that is done now.
This scattering rye does not detraet
enough from the price to make it
worth while to remove it. But rye is
much harder than wheat, and in bad
seasons will rapidly increase in pro-
portion to the finer grain. 1t is worth
while to get pure seed wheat. This is
The only way to prevent rye from COM
ing in.

The ChiIdren's Fashionable Pet.

The fashionable pet for children
this year seems to be the Mexican
burro, or donkey. not The English
donkey, which is one of the most vie
ious of brutes. These little animals
are at all times perfectly gentle and
harmless. and are entirely free from
that characteristic propensity of tho
donkey tribe Of kicking and biting.
They may be somewhat slow and de-
liberate M their movements, but they
are never known To develop vicious
ness. and for this reason they may be
used by children with perfect safety.
1t is only short time that they have
been used for this purpose, but now
they are to be seen at all the large
Watering-places, and many are the
CITY BOYS who own these homely bat
interesting pets which they take with
them on their summer vacations

How Grant Was Amused.

Gen. Grant was rarely known to
smile, and the occasions were few in
deed when his dignity SO far broke
down as to permit him to laugh out
rght-though he was far from being
devoid of a relish for good story OF
joke. There was one time in his life,
however, when he INDUCED i'm roar
of laughter that might have been heard
for a quarter of mile. Ii was while
he was filing the Presidential cuair
and made his trip to Des Moines, Ia,
and delivered the famous speech on
education-the first time il was dis
covered that he really could make "a
good speech. He had been in St.
Louis, and came up the old Northern
Missori Railroad into Iowa. He passed
through the little town of Bloomfield,
twelve miles from the Missouri line. at
8 clock ut night. A crowd had ~
sembled, conspicuous among them ne
ing the village topper. who always filled
up on great occasions, and had there
fore risen to the emergency, and was
in a condition on the arrival of the
Presidential party to hObnob with n
King. The train halted at the station
for several minutes, and i'm response to
cheers President Grant appeared on
the platform and lifted his hat i'm stiff,
schoolboy fashion. The old topper
looked at him with blinking eyes, and
t. en- deliberately clambered up on the
platform, steadied himself by the rail
ing, and deliberately thrust his face
close to the sphinX-like countenance
before him. There was a dead silence,
the audacity of the act causing the
townspeOple to stare in dumb amaze
ment, while the few persons surround
ing Grant were equally astounded.
For a moment the drunken man
swayed and stared, and then said:
s'Isn zis Presh'dunt Grant,"
The features of the hero of Appomat-
tox relaxed a little as he nodded affirm
atively.
Come. now, homes, pardner," per-
sisted the topper. SHAY, OF man, y
amt tryin' to fool Teller, are you?"
The scene was cut short by the
town marshal reaching up and yank-
ing the intruder to the ground; but it
had such an inexpressibly funny side
that the ''silent man" bust into u
hearty outlaw, in which those around
him Joined as the train moved away.

An ANALYSIS Of a dozen brands of

An analysis of dozen brands of
cigarettes has been made in Chicago,
and the results are such that cigar
etto-smokers cannot regard them with
complacency. Almost every brand
was found to have been ''doctored'
to a greater or less degree. While
the injuri US ingredients (apart from
the tobacco itself) vary somewhat,
there is enough in each variety to iu-
duce smoke who value their health
to give up cigarettes altogether. OF
all the forms in which tobacco is used,
this is doubtless the most harmful,
especially as the cigarette abit has

What Am I To Do?

The symptoms of biliousness are unhap.
PLY too we'll known. They differ in differ
ent individuals to some extent. A bilious
man is seldom breakfast eater. Too fire.
quently, alas, he has an excellent appetite
for liquids but none for solids Of morning.
His tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furrcd, it is
rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order, and diarrhea or constipation may be a
symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often hemorrhoids or even loss of blood
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or fatulence and tenderness in
the pit of the stomach. TO correct all this,
if not effect q cure, try Green's August
Flower; it costs but trihe, and thousands
attest its efficiency.

Excursion.

We take special pleasure in calling atten-
ton to the excursions to points in Mime
sofa and Dakota, via the st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba railway, from St. Paul
or Minneapolis and points south and east,
which have been announced, leaving St..
Paul May 9th and 23d, and June 9th and
goth, and points south one day later,
when tickets are to be sold at the low rate
of one fare for the round trip. These tickets
will be limited to thirty days from date of
issue, good ten days going and five for re-
turn, with stop over within limits.
This will enable friends or intending
settlers to visit this country during the
early spring and summer, at very small
cost.

How to Run Your Town,

Either run it with vim or sell out, and
leave it. Men who are always slow to sup
port home institutions, and do little or moth
ing to induce new business to be located
where they live, will never do much toward
building up town. One or two things must
be done; either run the town for al it is
worth-get up steam and keep itup-or quit
the whole thing, slide out, and let nature take
its course. Ifyou want business men to come
to your town, encourage those who are a.
ready here. If you want prosperous town
where people can come who are disposed to
make homes, do away with and bury from
sight jealousy and spite; work together for
common prosperity and mutual benefit.
Work up, rub your eyes, and go to work.
Don't work with fear and trembling, but
take it for granted that blood will tell, and
leave results to themselves.-MinotR Rustaer

1t is not generally known and ii is quite
important that it should be, that we have

It is as follows:

in charge stallion bull, shall have a lien for
the service Of the stallion or bull, upon the

upon the offspring OF the mare or COW served
by any stallion or bull; provided, that in case
the owner Of such stallion or bull desire to re-.
tain a lien upon any mare or COW served in the
manner above mentioned, the owner of such
stallion or bull shall within ninety days after
such service, file with the register of deeds of
the county where such mare or COW are situ-
ated, notice in writing, containg particular
served, and the amount Of lien claimed upon
the same, which notice when filed as aforesaid,
shall operate as notice to SUBSEQUENT purchasers
and incumbrancers in good faith for the term
of one year from filing of such notice.

It's Own Track All The Way.

The day for patronizing railroads which
start from some country crossroads, and end
somewhere in cow pasture, unable to enter
cities of any size except over the track of
some other company, has gone by. If there
are any such railroads still trying to do busi-
ness, don't waste yonr time on them, but
take "The Burlington" which has its own
track all the way, and runs its own solid
trains into such business and railroad CEN
tres as Chicago and st. Louis. Secure your
tickets via the "Chicago, Burlington &
Northern Railroad" thereby taking trunk
line and securing great many advantages
we have not time to mention here, as you
will find by sending to W.. c Kenyon.
