The Wheat Boom.

The wheat boom gives some indications Of
having come to stay. The alarming crop 10
ports which continue to come from Europe
keep the prices Of American grain on a rising
scale, and the probabilities are that the end Of
the year will find wheat and corn quotations at
figures higher than now prevail. There Is a
crumb Of comfort in this upward tendency Of
the grain market, which falls most opportunely
for our Northwestern farmers. With the i'm
mense crops that are being harvested in the
Northwest this season a rise Of only few
cents to the bushel in the price Of grain means
in the aggregate largo sum Of money to be
distributed among our Northwestern farmers,
and at time. too. when money is mighty ac-
ceptable.-St. Paul Globe.

The recent advance in the wheat markets of
the world, caused by shortage In European and
American crops, comes at an opportune mo-
ment for the farmers of North Dakota whose
crops have been injured by an untimely frost.
The outlook is especially good for those who
shall be 80 fortunate as to harvest No. hard
wheat. Under the most favorable conditions
there Is bound to be great deal of low grade
wheat In Dakota this fall, which must ultl-
mately have the effect Of enhancing the pre-
MUM Of the best grade, which the mills must
have to enable them to keep up the standard
Of their best grades of -four.

Disguise the fact as we will, Griggs county
is the principal sufferer by the cold wave Of
the 18th. Hundreds Of our farmers will have
to have seed grain on credit. Some legislation
should and can be made allowing the territory
or county to loan It's credit to these unfortu-
nate people, whereby, by securing this debt
for seed wheat upon the crop, they may be able
to continue business. II the money were a
gift 1t would be better investment for the
people at large than an investment in extrava-
giant appropriations for institutions that are
unnecessary, or which do not need extrava-
giant appropriations to give buncombe to
some callow statesman. II some of the farm
ers do get little wild occasionally, they are
the bone and slnew of the country, and their
interests must be protected above all other In
terests. Unless some relief is had, there are
many Of our best farmers who will become
absolutely discouraged and pull out to new
fields.-Coopersto Courier.

A recent cablegram from London thus sum-
marizes the foreign crop situation: 'This will
be one Of the worst wheat and corn years that
Europe has known In long while. Continued
rain and cold weather have cut the crops down
almost everywhere save In Russia. The coun.
try mi'lers are exceedingly nervous about the
near future There will undoubtedly be an In
ferior wheat and barley crop this year. The
common estimate now is that the British crop
will be rs per cent below the excellent yield of
last year. The deficiency In Western Europe
is almost as marked. France now expects a
harvest Of about 81, 600, 900 hectollters, against
100000 last year. Italy has wheat de-
ficit Of 20 per cent on last year. In Germany
the crops are all very backward. Rye, 1t Is
feared, will be 80 per cent below the average.
Roumania reports wheat crop 80 per cent
under that Of last year. Russia Is said to have
the best yield for the past three years. Iudia's
yield is about the average of the past six years.
But the general story about wheat Is gloomy,
but maize Is even w6rse. It seems almost q
universal complaint too, that the wheat is Of
poor quality"

STAPLES STOPPED.
Charged with Assault with Intent
to Kill.

The Scott City Herald of last Saturday
has this to say of contemplate swim
der, who will be remembered by many
of our readers as having assisted in max
ing times lively in this county in 1886:
G. M. Staples was arrested Thursday
on a telegram from F. Huddleson, of
Chivington, Colorado, Friday morning.
Huddleson came in on the train and fled
a complaint before Justice Jenkins, charg-
ing Staples with assault with intent to
kill one Green at Chivington. The OBJ
ject was to secure requisitiOn. The
case was continued until next Tuesday
for material evidence. Staples then
swore out complaint against Huddle-
son, charging him with unlawfully TAX
ing upon himself in the county of Scott,
State of Kansas, the office of sheriff of
Bent county, Colorado, by sending the
telegram signed as sheriff. Huddleson
was arrested and brought before the
court, when his attorney filed a motion
to dismiss the case for the reason that
the court had no jurisdiction of the Of
fence. The Judge dismissed the case and
entered Judgment against the prosecu-
ton witness for the costs of the prosecu-
ton.

TranSplalting Trees.

Many people admire forest trees and
desire to have them in their yards and
grounds. It is now generally admitted
that our native forest trees are the
best adapted for shade and for beauty and
vigorous health, of any trees that are
available. Exotic trees, as objects OF
study and curiosity, are all right, but fol
an influence that brings rest to the weaned
and overtaxed nerves, and that cultivates
taste for the beautiful, the native forest
trees certainly excel all others.
How may large forest trees be successful.
ly transplanted? Now is the time to make
the preparation for next year. Any one
who will follow the directions here given
will be almost certain to succeed. Select
your tree or trees any time from the mid.
die of May to the middle of June. Dress
the top literally. Prune it back lower
then you would wish it at the time OF
transplanting. Next, dig under the tree
and cut block out of the largest side
roots. If you only cut these roots off with
an az they will grow together and heal
over again. If you take block out OF
the roots, this will be impossible.
Next, put the earth back around the
roots of the tree and wait until the follow
ing winter or early spring, when the tree
can be lifted with safety. Leaving the tree
in its natural bed for a season after the
root and branch pruning allows time for
all scars to heal up and for fbrous roots
to put out.
If the roots are pruned before the
branches are the tree may topple over,
hence the reason for pruning the tops OF
the tree first. If the tree is moved in the
winter, select day when the thermome-
ter is above the freezing point, as freezing
will kill the fbrous roots. Transplant the
tree with care. When you stand the tree
in the pit dug to receive it, stand in by
the side of it smooth stick or pole long
enough to reach a few inches above the
ground. Press the earth in well around
both tree and stick. After the earth has
settled few days around the tree, draw
the stick out. Pour water down the hole
made by the stick. An old funnel or 9
gourd with long handle will be useful
in getting the water into the hole. Dc
not spill the water on top of the ground
for this causes the ground to bake and
also causes the roots of the tree to grow
upward instead of downward.
After the tree is watered, this stick Of
plug can be put back in the hole. The
stick should be drawn and the roots
watered frequently during the first grow
ing season after the tree is moved. In
some instances it will be found profitable
to continue the watering during tn
second season.
