ed and conducted as q first class 90 room

to Devils Lake was abandoned as I'M
practicable. The house is a fine one and

Good Advice for Dakota Farmers.

Good Advice FOR Dakota Farmers.
The following excellent advice to Da,
kota farmers is from letter written by
Mr.. Richard Sykes, the Manchester, Eng
land, manufacturer, to Mr.. l.. r. Casey
of this city:
The price of cattle has risen fully %
per cent this year in England and there
appears to be a scarcity. Butchers have
advanced prices y Zone cent? per pound
but this advance does not cover the ad-
vance on the price of fat cattle. The con-
sequences of bad harvests and rise in
price OF meat, are that prices of farm pro-
duce in America will rise and the needed
improvement in Dakota will follow. Ii
Dakota farmers will act prudently and,
instead of breaking additional land, will
raise stock and sell butter and encourage
butter and cheese factories they will ben
eft themselves Additional land will be
broken and the area Of cultivation in
creased by the new comers, but the poll
CIV of farmers now in the country is TO
raise stock and pay off or redeem mort
cages and not TO purchase new machln-
cry and, by increasing the acreage of
grain. assist to reduce the price.
The near connections with the eastern
states and the Atlantic seaboard by way
of SAINT st. Marie will benefit North Da-
kota enormously and will bring it as near
to the markets of the east as are Iowa
and western and southern Illinois at the
present time.
From all appearances North Dakota
farmers east of the 1902 Of longitude
will before very long find themselves
well fixed

Good Goose Hunting.

White geese and brant are now plenti-
full in all parts of the county and the prom
ises OF fine fall shooting seem about to
be fulfilled. The uncut wheat offers
great attractions to the birds, but fools
them in many cases, as there is "nothing
in it," They decoy readily and the pros
.pect for glut in the goose market is ex-
cellent jamestown hunters should
take advantage Of this season and get in
their work.
Messrs. Winslow, Adams, Kellogg and
Crossley brought in, Thursday night, "a
Canada geese and brant in two days
shooting near Corinne.. Both stubble
and lake were found to be good points.
Besides the, Gig geese killed the wag-
on load of game was completed by addi-
ton of prairie chicken, duck, snipe and
plover, Including a long cared jack rabbit
which was tied on behind for luck.
The bag was hung in front OF Mr..
Winslow's office this morning, and made
fine display, attracting general atten.
ton. Festoons of geese, boquets of chick
ems and rosettes of duck decorated the
entire front of'the building The whole
was photographed, including the men
and dogs who did the work and had the
fun.
Duck and geese will remain here all
this month and part OF the cext. Their
name is legion.

Farm and Crop Mention.

The barley raised by T. J. Jones Of
Rio, this year. is said to be of the finest
quality, and the samples sent to the North
Dakota fair, attracted a good deal Of at
tention.
William Olson, a farmer of the Spirit
wood neighborhood, was selling some
grain in the market here last week. He
reports fair crop, and has the courage
to try it again. -..
John Peterson has fine farm and
buildings north of Spirltwood lake, and
with bis brother are old time farmers and
good ones. They sowed good deal of
their grain on the highest ground. Stock
and other products make good showing
at their farm. .'.. d.
George Wright has an excellent place
a couple of miles this side of Corinne,
with good buildings and fine location.
His farm has a blacksmith shop attached
and the same is in great demand among
the neighbors. Mr.. and Mrs. Wright are
very hospitable people, and live in the
goose country extraordinary.
The Horn place, at which great many
farmers get their mail, is one of tie best
known farms in the county. Mr. Horn has
between six and seven hundred sheep,
that have done very Well. The grass
around the ranch has not been burned off
for some I've years, and the difference is
noticeable between that pasturage and
the prairie where fires have annually
swept. Mr.. Horns crop, like all of his
neighbors, was only $3.50, this year. He
expects sheep and stock to make up all
differences, however.

\. Horse Suicide.

Occasionally the disposition Of an un-
broken western horse shows how equine
depravity can take entire possession Of
tie animal A horse lately sold to a
farmer Of the county, refused to submit
to harness or to be handled in any way.
After the last attempt to break him had
failed, he was hitched 10 a post and left
alone for time. On returning 1t was
found chat the perverted animal had de-
Iiberately committed suicide by pounding
its head against the post until dead.

Water Works Delayed.

The Defiance water works will be delayed
in building on account of the failure of 5. X.
Bullock, waite" works contractor, of New
York, who has the contract for the work.
Much anxiety is felt in Defiance over the fail
ure. The Crescent says:
Mr.. Sam. Stevens, the superintendent here,
said IN an interview this morning: 'You can
rest assured that the assignment will scarcely
be noticed here. The works as they are now
of no value to any one and will not be, of
course, until they are finished. There are but
six weeks work needed on them now and it
would be total loss to abandon them.
"Will they be completed?" queried the re-
porter.
Certainly" was the answer.
sHis bondsmen will be compelled to finish
them if he is not able. Defiance and the De-
fance Water Works Co. are all right They
will not be affected in the least"
"Will they be completed in 6weeks?" asked
the reporter. ...-..-..
''No, hardly" he replied, because we will
have to wait for some material, but ii will be
here soon. Two months will see the whole
thing completed"
The men here have not been paid for two
months and Mr.. Bullock owes them at least
$4,000. None of them seemed uneasy, or as
though they did not expect their money,
but just the contrary. ALI that remains now
is to wait few months more and the Def
ance water works will be completed just the
same as though there never had been any as
signment.
Just what effect this suspension will have
upon the projected water works of this city,
We are not informed.

A young man in Ironton has what would
at first thought be considered the softest, not
to say the sweetest, election bet yet made. A
young lady is to call at his Office and kiss him
once square in the mouth for as many con-
secutiye days as Harrison has electoral votes.
just think of 233 days Of long drawn out of
sweetness! One Of the peculiar stipulations
which makes ita one-sided affair is that the
young man isn't to return the salute, which
leads us to predict that the bet will be de-
clared off until the young couple get married
and kissing trust can be formed and the
winner and loser Of the bet as equal share in
its profits.
