A Beautiful Pest.

The maybe, which is prevalent in
Nevada, is the meanest bird that flies.
This carnivorous pest will pick the
flesh from the backs of hogs, cattle or
horses, especially where they can find
an animal afflicted with any kind of a
sore. The Central Nevadan says:
at has always been a mystery to
us why the accursed magpie was
placed or the earth. Now that 30
many cattle are becoming weak, after
the long Winter, they no sooner get
down, before this pest magpie almost

no life, nor energy, nor interest in the
Blair bill save that which the Senator
constantly engenders by his enthusi-

Chandler is a nervous, active, busy

County Official Paper.
SHOULD STICK 10 HIS LAST.

Bill Nye in a recent interview states
that it is his intention, when he has
completed his present tour, to aban-
don humorous writing and devote
himself to serious literature. He
thinks it was the mistake OF his life
time when he allowed himself to drift
into the funny style. There never
yet was successful comedian who
didn't think he would have developed
into a still greater tragedian, if he
had followed that branch of the the
atrical profession. Several have
made the change, which in every
Instance resulted in dismal failure.
1t would be the same with Nye. He
has gained reputation as a humor-
ist, which will remain with him, and
which he can never rid himself of as
long as he lives. 1t would fatally
handicap him in any other. field of
literature, for if he possessed the
talent and genius Of a dozen Emer-
sons, Tennysons and Hawthornes,
he could never disconnect himself, in
the mind of the public, with the cap
and bells which he has 80 long and
successfully worn. 1t would indeed
be the mistake of his lifetime if he
should abandon the vein which he
discovered and located and which
still continues to yield him profitable
returns, to prospect for another lode
of an entirely different quality of
literary metal, which if found he
could probably never successfully
work.-[Times-R Review.

The Farmers Review Reports a De.
crease in Percentage for Nearly
All Crops

MINNEAPOLIS, July 31.-An Evening
Journal special from Grand Forks, N.
D., says: From Tintah, where you
strike the Red River valley proper,
north to st. Vincent, covering a strip
sixty to seventy-five miles in width, the
crops look very fair and will probably
produce an average yield, though the
grade cannot but be low" said an exper-
fenced Dakota wheat grower, who has
just returned from a tour of inspection
of the grain fields of North Dakota.
From Grands Forks west to Larimore,"
lie added, land from there on through
Devils Lake and beyond to Church's
Ferry, the latter place being about the
western limit of the wheat growing belt,
Tho Crop Is Seriously Injured.
In the immediate vicinity of Devils
Lake and Church's Ferry the yield will
only be fair, while in many districts be-
tween the two places the farmers will
scarcely be able to regain their seed.
The average crop in these parts cannot
possibly exceed eight to twelve bushels
per acre.
The crop has been injured all over the
''oSS ny YIN NNtASll4C 1lOO weather oI UIle
past ten days. The grade will be low,
and the grain will show a shrunken and
shriveled condition.
In some particular spots in the Red
River valley section. around Grand
Forks. Hillboro and Fargo. the grain
never looked or promised a better Weld
than it does to-day, but if the hot winds
keep up any length of time, this vicinity
will suffer in low grade if not in abso-
Lutte yield.
A Different View.
Editor Fred Falley, of The Wahpe-
ton Globe, said: North Dakota will
have the largest wheat crop this year it
has had in several years. The average
yield of the state will be increased over
that of last year, while the favorable
prospects a much wider territory.
Last year almost the entire crop of the
state was grown in the counties border
ing on the Red river. This year average
crops will be harvested in every county
except, possibly, Sargent and Dickey.
Jud La Moure. of Pembina county,
said that the prospect for a fair wheat
crop wa excellent in that county. He
declared that he believed that the aver
age yield would be no less than twenty
five bushels per acre.

FROM THE FARMERS REVIEW.

The Averages for All Kinds of Crops Re-

CHICAGO, July 31.-The following ap-
pears in this weeks Farmers Review:
The ma ority of u correspondents in
Missouri, Kentucky and Minnesota re-
port local showers that have in q meas
ure revived parched fields. Drouth is
general throughout Illinois, Indiana.
Nebraska, Iowa and the Dakotas. The
effect of this widespread drouth is most
marked upon the potato crop, the pres
ent condition of which is 40 per cent.
lower thar last year at this season.
From the present outlook the Dakotas
and Minnesota are the only states that
promise anything like u fair crop.
Corn Prospects Decline.
A great decline has taken place in the
condition of corn during the past two
weeks. The Dakotas are the only states
that apparently maintain a higher aver
age and in these states conditions are
not uniform. No marked change is OBJ
servable III the Nebraska and Iowa re-
ports relative to spring wheat, but in
Minnesota and the Dakotas the averages
of condition have declined several points,

The product of North Dakota's
flour mills is gaining in reputation
for excellence every day. Its name
and fame will soon be ~co.extensive
with the Minneapolis brands, and
there is every reason to believe that
it will be, in time, the first choice in
the list of patent flours. Competition
in flour manufacturing is so great,
and the margin of profit so little,
that every small mill is required to
use the latest improved milling ma
chinery. This is not only demanded
by local patronage but is an absolute
necessity to secure and retain foreign
customers. North Dakota has the
cheap coal for fuel, and the best hard
wheat in the world for flour, both at
the doors of every mill. North Da.
kota mills are already running day
and night. and shipping flour to Liver.
pool, New York, New Orleans, Port.
land-to all the markets of the world.
The business is hardly in its infancy.
Yet according to its last report there
are twelve mills in the state of over
200 barrels a day capacity. the value
of whose annual product is nearly
$2,000.00O, and % mills under zoo
barrels capacity whose annual output
amounts to over a million dollars.
AS yet the capital employed in this
manufacturing industry is small, but
the inducements for its profitable in.
crease will grow stronger each year.
