reopened for the season Monday, and the first
churning was done Tuesday. For the present
they will churn only three or four times a
week. Two hundred pounds OF butter was
made Tuesday. The prospects are that tire
creamery will do very successful business
this year. Last season tho proprietors had
larger demand for their product than they
could supply, but now that farmers have con-
vinced themselves that it pays better to sell
cream than 1t does to raise wheat, the cream
cry will be more largely patronized by them
aud the output correspondingly greater.

A company is being organized at Casselton
under the name of the Casselton Land and
Trust company for the purpose Of inducing
Immigration TO this section. 1t is the purpose
Of the company to secure control Of the large
farms in the neighborhood Of Casselton, cut
them up into blocks Of 100 acres and sell to
Immigrants on long time and easy payments.
In this way, 1t is thought over 10000 people
could be located and the trade of the new set
Elements given to Casseltop. The project is a
good one, and might be followed to advantage
by other localities in North Dakota. This
would insure diversified farming and result in
an era Of prosperity that can never be enjoyed
as long as great tracts Of land are devoted en-
tirely TO the raising OF wheat.
There was a great rush at the land Office in
Yankton for school lands one day last week,
and twenty-five filings were made. The
| stampede was started by Chicago l. North
western employees from Huron, who invaded
the land Office and placed declaratory filings
| on eight quarter sections of school lands COIL
| tiguous to tho Chicago d Northwestern rail-
road between Yankton aud Centerviile. This
movement got out and In the course Of the
day fourteen Yankton parties dropped iuto the
land Office and filed their declaratory state
,nents. These filings are made under the min
eral land act, the claim being that the school
sections filed upon are coal lands. II within
| a year proof is made that coal exists, the par
ties filing can purchase the land at $40 per
acre. To do this they must develope the coal
aud furnish substantial proofs. A recent rul-
ing Of the department authorizes these filings.

The farmer who sows frozen grain, whether
he lives in Dakota or In Manitoba, runs a risk
and invites disaster. The proposed Minnesota
plan Of aiding the farmers to secure good seed
for 1889 seems to be the wiser plan. The
farmers cannot afford to waste time and run
risks in planting frozen seed. Grain that may
grow very nicely in specially fertile soil. in
greenhouses, under forcing and codiling pro-
cesses may, and probably will, prove an abso-
Lutte failure when sown on the black soil of the
Northwest and subjected to all the vicissitudes
Of tickle climate. It is yet to be proved that
defective seed can promise perfect maturity,
and until that is proved, or even claimed, it
will be we'll for the wheat growers Of Dakota,
