r. L. Seigle died at his home in this county
this morning at o'clock. He had been
suffering with heart-disease for some time.

eases, made his friends despair of his re-
covery. Captain Seigle himself was fully
aware Of the inevitable, and he gave in
structions concerning his funeral, select
ing tho ministers who were to Officiate.
He was a native of Lincoln county, served
in Brcm's Charlotte battery during the war,
and was several times promoted. Soon
after the close of the war no began mer-
chandising here, and at the time of his
death was ono of the largest dry-goods
merchants as well es ono of the most intiu-
entail citizens of this city.

The Corner Stone Laid.

The Cornerstone exercises, trans

were most impressive and instructive.

pleased with President Fradenburgh.
lie will not only be an immense ac-
QUESTION to the professional and ora

His lecture, Wednesday evening, be-
fore the teachers instl tute, was
mastery.
The exercises being concluded at
the opera house, the cornet band, fol-
lowed by the building conference and
people, repaired to the building site
and concluded the exercises, deposit.
ing publications, etc., under the
corner stone.
1t was an interesting occasion in the
history of Wahpeton.

BREEDING SOWs.

1t is rot well 10 .llow a sow to brood
until she is at least six months old. and
then she saould have made a Good
growth. 1t is true that MANY would
breed earlier than that, but the result is
apt TO be small pigs, OF weak constitu.
tons, and usually inferior in every way
to the true standard of the breed. if they
are OF any particular breed, and if not.
scarcely fitted to fatten, and certainly
untitled to breed from. 1t would be
much better for those who are irving to
grow good stock that they should let the
sows go at least eight months before al
lowing them TO run with the male, or an
April pig could be used in December. 50
that she might also farrow in April.
Then, If the pigs are good and she proves
good mother, she might be kept until
SIN or seven years old and give two lit
tiers year. They usually run 112 DAYS.
and some times old sOws 90 day or
two over, while very young SOW NAV
not go quite as long. But they are usu-
ally punctual TO the day, and almost to
the hour, after the first litter. Breeding
too young and then fattening, almost
without regard to the value for breeding
mas been one great cause OF deterioration

BIGGEST Is NOT BEST.

1t is well for farmer to test the CT.

out 1t is not always the best system of
agriculture. The size of crop is one
thlng, and the profit Of it another. The

investments IN money and time aud an
ply only enough of manure, seed. labor
ano attention to give the best returns for

cesslve trials, decide what this amount

CHANCE FOR BETTER SWEET CORN.

Sweet corn is merely an improvement
from field corn by careful selection Of the
choice ears, asserts HOLSTER Sage. OF
course the process has been kept up for
conIse of years. But sweet corn is to-
day very Tar from being the ptrfect pro.
duct which it should be. Even a single
variety varies in character to larre de.
gree. Take the Larry Minnesota or the
Evergreen, for Instance, and notice the
difference of two cars from the same
planting, the seed having been procured
IN one package. While one ear is sweet,
tender and delicious, the other will per-
haps be coarse, tough, tasteiess and far
from desirable. Cultivation has not pro-
duced this marked difference, and it
must exist in the variety. Still further,
ibelievc some corn plants have a tendency
to hold the tenderness of their kernels
for longer time than others. Here is
an interesting field for experiment which
may result in more than increased earli-
ness and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which
are not of greatest importance to gar
dencrs for the home table. In picking
corn it will pay to break in two and
label several ears each time, leaving one
