Northern Dakota's Wheat Crop.
rom the American BanIpr


Governor Burke of North Dakota, in
answer to Il question as to the crop out
look in that state, is reported to have
said: ''The indications are the best for
seven years and believe the wheat
crop in North Dakota this year will be
the largest ever known there. The
present conditions are very similar to
the spring OF 1883, when we had the
big crop. There is no dirt flying
this year. The farmers are waiting
to get on the ground, instead Of
the ground waiting for the farmers.
There is plenty of moisture. The
Jim river country is in good condition.
Seeding has already commencedi in Ran
som, Barnes and LaMoure counties;
also in the country between jamestown
and the Missouri river. 1t will be quite
general in the Red river valley and
elsewhere by Monday next. 1t is diff
cult now to get at the acreage as COM
pared with last year. 1t will be an in
crease In the far west counties, where
the farmers are engaged in stock rails
ing, which think will prove very pro-
titable. Thousands of sheep have been
shipped into North Dakota in the last
six months. AS to the all around CON
ditions as compared with last year ]
will say that at this time last season the
prospect was never poorer, and it has
not been better for the past seven years
than at present. North Dakota will be
very prosperous this season."

His Faithful wife rubbed him with Ink

A young man of York, Pa, who is
somewhat afflicted with acute rheuma-
tism suffered SO much pain that he was
unable to sleep, SO he aroused his good
wife, who was sleeping by his side, and
asked her to rub him with coal oil. The
wife, who was not more than half
awake, arose and got what she supposed
was the coal oil bottle which they kept
for that purpose, and began to rub, the
aching limb. After rubbing for some
time, she asked whether he did not feel
better. He replied that he believed that
he did feel somewhat better, but not
much, so the honest toiler continued to
apply the fluid and rub with even more
earnestness. Suddenly the husband no.
ticed that the coal oil did not give forth
that nauseating smell, and remarked:
THAT is the funniest coal oil | ever
saw; it has no SMELL" The sleepy wife
raised the bottle to her nose and found
that the bottle did not smell of coal oil,
but ink. She had made a mistake, and
had taken the ink bottle and applied the
ink, instead of the oil. After the ink
was washed from the swollen limb, the
coal oil was applied, which soon gave
relief.
