he would take to allow the u. S. to
use his jars. but his figures we're too
large, and the government officials
would not pay the amount asked, be-
lieving it to be exhorbitant. The in
ventor is dead, and his son, +. O.

for using the iars. His mission here
was to find out how many of the said
jars have been used in the fish hatch

Cool Weather,

Mandan Pioneer: 1t is true that the
weather is cold in D akota for the time of
year, but it is cold IN the east, also, and
there the crops are suffering because of
the cold So far none Of the crops here
have suffered. They are simply little
backward, which is not necessarily an
evil. In Chicago the weather has been so
cold that thousands OF birds that came to
that latitude little too early have been
picked up in the streets and upon the
lawns, chilled to death. In this region
the man who put in his crop last year and
had it up early got left. The lazy man
who was late in sowing came out ahead.
This year everybody is necessarily late in
sowing, and it looks very much as if il
it would be a good thing for the country
that they are late. In the mean time the
crops in the cast are looking very rocky,
and it is very probable that the Dakota
farmer will be the one to reap the advan.
tage that will come from high prices.

Milk.EQd Pumpkins.

A Bismarck correspondent of the Pho.
neer Press not long ago told how Farm
ers Field and Wallace produced the prize
pumpkins that made Burleigh county IA
nous in '83. The following from an
eastern paper shows that knowledge of
"the milk treatment" is not confined to
the Northwest: A pumpkin was on exhi-
bition at the Orange county IN. W fair
last fall that provoked much wonder. It
was grown in Putnam county, N. Y, and
it brought down the scales at $50 pounds.
From the day Of its blossom to being cut
frsm the vine exactly twenty. eight days
elapsed. Curiously enough, this enor-
nous pumpkin has drawn it's sustenancc
from an artificial source it absorved for
several weeks more than pint of milk
daily. Near the pumpkin a root is sent
out from the vine which, if unmolested,
would find It's way to the ground for sus-
tenance. Experience has shown that by
leading this root to basin containing
milk causes the material for frst-class
Thanksgiving pies to ripen much quicker
and attain larger size than by permit
ting it to feed from the earth. After
awhile no doubt the gardener will bring
the cultivation of vegetables up to such
science that the pumpkin will absorb
milk enough in growing to need none in
preparing it for pies

A Brighter Prospect for Wheat.

Hope Pioneer There has been quite A
boom in the price OF wheat within the
last few weeks and it is now higher than
it has been since the month of December,
1885, when it was 70 cents, and gradually
recedcd until the price for No. 1 Hard, In
November, 1886, touched SO cents The
outlook at the present time is more en-
couraging for better prices IN the fall
than it has been for several years. At
present everything seems to favor the
Dakota farmer The soil is in fine condi-
tion, and, with anything like average
conditions from this time forward, good
crop will be insured. The one thing nee
essarY to stimulate activity in all depart
ments of trade and commerce in Dakota
remunerative price for our great staple
seems on the point of being realized.
1t is not necessary nor is it desirable that
