Net profit on crop. G,l39 rs
In addition to which Mr.. Shear raised
leO bushels potatoes, fine garden and
quantity Of poultry.
The results in the other counties in
this great valley are equally satisfactory
and show a remarkable state of prosperity
among the farmers wherever the facts
have been reported. There are repeated
instances OF men raising enough produce
on their land, from this one crop, to pay
for the land itself.
A specimen of the success and profit in
sheep raising-one of the new industries
OF the state-is also given, as follows:
JAMESTOWN, N. D., Dec. %, 1891.
l came from Ontario county, New
York, five years ago. 1 have 32O acres of
land, which took from the United
States. 1t did not cost me anything; I
had to live on it and improve it, which I
would have had to do anyhow. l have
made more money here farming than I
did when farmed in new York, and did
not have to work so hard. This is the
best stock country ever saw. There is
plenty of wild hay that can be put in
stacks at cost of 81 ton, and stock
only need to be fed about four months in
the year. started in sheep two years
ago with 800 head. costing $3.50, and have
raised 81 per cent of lambs and sold 81 200
worth OF wool, and being burned out this
fall, sold the remainder of my sheep for
over $4,000. They only cost me "a cents
per year to keep them and they shear
more here than they do east or west by
one to three pounds. They are also freer
from disease than usual. Western horses
will live out doors all winter without any
feed or shelter. had four horses and
$444 when I came here, and now have
$500 IN bank; stock worth $3.50, n,achin-
cry worth $500, and land worth 81 500.
There is plenty of government land free
near here. JEROME SAB1N.
A cattle showing is as follows: A. G..
Sanford, Sykeston, shipped twenty-four
head of cattle to Chicago on September
5, 1891, including seven year-old steers,
nine 3.year.olds, three 4-year-olds and
two cows. The average weight was 1885
pounds. They were taken off grass and
had never been granted day. They
sold for $3.50 per hundred-Sl, 1856;
freight and all expenses of selling,
1923 .65; net proceeds. 1922, or $1,000
per head
Thousands of acres OF these lands can
be had very cheap. on long time, with
small cash payments, or without any
cash, simply crop payments. North Da-
kota contains the last of the good lands
untaken in the United States. Each
year is bound to see them increase in
value.

Asylum Brevlties.

Christmas at the asylum was one Of
the happiest seasons ever spent in the
institution. Extensive decorations of
evergreen and holly told the patients
that Xmas had arrived. It was amusing
to see some of the patients shake hands
with Santa Claus. The dinner served
might have satisfied the appetite of a
Louis, the Fourteenth. In the evening,
Dr.. Archibald gave reception to the en-
ployes in the administration building. A
most enjoyable evening was spent in
dancing and varions amusements.
Sumptuous refreshments we're served.
DR.. Archibald was presented with an ele-
giant road wagon by the male employees.
The lady employees presented him beau
tiful bear skin rug for his Office. DR..
Moore and Major Lowell had presents of
handsome cuff buttons from male en-
ployes.
Edward Webb, who has been employed
here for two or three years, has received
a situation in Ottumwa, Iowa.
The ladies of the institution are pre-
pairing to give a leap year party next
Monday evening.

And so at this time OF all others;-at

than ever before since the buffalo drank
the waters of the Pipeatem; when real
estate has begun to move and substan-
tisl improvement of property has recon-
menced; when every sign points to new
life and energy in all directions-is
jamestown at such O time determined to
discard its fine system Of electric street
lights and begin investing in kerosene
and lamp chimneys?
Costs more? Yes, of course, and il g
worth more too. Costs too much? No.,
it never costs too much to have city
clean, orderly and well lighted 1t pays
pays in money and more than pays in
comfort. The street lamps now cost
Sl25OO a year each. Even If the city
must pay next year $4,000 each for six-
teen of them, that would he cheaper than
any other town IN Moth or South Da-
kota or Montana gets the same light, and
there are over twenty towns in the three
states lighted by electricity.
70 go back to coal oil now would be
worse than never to have used something
better; this not being case where tits
better to have loved and lost than never
to have loved at all. Bismarck went
beck, and certainly that town is not a
shining example for jamestown to imi-

Does Farming Pay?

The Minneapolis Tribune comments
editorially on recent circular prepared
by Mr.. E. p. Wells Of this city, showing
the results of farming in the James River
valley in 1891. The document will at
tract attention in other quarters where
1t is being circulated. Referring to sew
eral sample specimens of wheat yields,
from widely separated areas, given in the
circular, the Tribune says: "These crops.
worth from s15 to $50 per acre, were raised
on land which Is valued at from SIS to Sl5
per acre. The cost OF raising the crop
was from 81 to 81 per acre, much of which
was returned to the farmer as wages for
himself, team and machinery. In a very
large number of cases the net profit on
the crop more than paid for the farm"
Thousands of these circulars are now
finding their way to the homes of eastern
farmers, where they will be read with
keen interest. All who have friends in
terested in this new country should send
them leaflet, which can be had free at
this Office, the postage being but trit1le
The statements are the actual results
obtained from farmers themselves and in
nowlse exaggerated. The circular is
prefaced with the statement that one
fact Is worth a thousand theories, and
that North Dakota in 1891, with popu.
lation of $4,000, produced grain, wool,
cattle and sheep to the value Of s50,O0O,-
600, or an average value for tie one
years product, OF s274.72 for each man,
woman and child in the state. The
reader is invited to.write direct to any
farmer whose name appears in the circu.
lar for confirmation, and further partlcu.
lars.
The actual results OF farming are given
in number of cases taken from Stuts.
man, Benson, Eddy, Wells, Griggs and
Kldder counties. They illustrate the
general success of all the farmers and are
not selected as the very best. The fol.

An Old.fashiOned Christmas.
Cold and stormy outside, warm and
comfortable within-made Friday a
typical Christmas day. and one which
was generally observed and enjoyed by
the people of jamestown and Stutsman
county. With fires blazing and good
cheer prevailing, the blessings of che day
we're recounted around tho home circle,
and the evening spent in pastimes appro-
pirate to the great festival. Many at
tended church services during the day,
in spite of the cold weather, and the
play at the Opera rink at night was we'll
patronized. As rule, however, a prefer
ence was shown for the pleasures of an
hour spent with the children or friends
at home, and numerous private parties
made merry until a late hour.
Most Of the stores and shops closed at
noon, and except for an occasional sleigh
ing party, the streets we're deserted after
dinner. Around railroad headquarters
only few employees were on duty, the
superintendent giving holiday to as
many as could be spared. In common
with the rest OF mankind. The Alert force
abandoned work for the day, and feasted
upon the good things provided for the
eplcurean man.
The entertainments given on Christ
mas eve were all vel! attended, and fur
nished ample amusement for old and
young. Beautiful trees were laden with
gifts for the Sunday school children, and
all were sent home happy. Those who
took par: in the literary and musical ex-
ercises acquitted themselves most credit
ably. Large crowds assembled at each Of
the churches, Notwithstanding the storm
which came up during the afternoon.
At the Methodist church long and in
teresting program was rendered. At the
Baptist church a cantata was given, and
much ability was shown by the young
folks who took part. The usual exercises
were we'll carried ont at the Congrega-
tional and Presbyterian churches, and the
Catholics held their customary services
at the pro.cathedral. In addition to these
public observances, many private trees
were decorated in various homes. A
large number Of trees were taken into
the country by farmers who deemed it
wise to enjoy their Christmas festivities
in the old-fashioned way. Upon the
whole, it was joyous occasion, and will
leave many pleasant memories in the
hearts of those to whom Christmas
brings a sense OF rest and gladstone feel.

The mirrors of the ancient Greeks and
Romans were thin disks of bronze, high
ly polished and usually fashioned with
handles, though sometimes they vert
set upright on stands. Later on silver
was used, and the first mirror of solid
silver is said to have been made by
Praxiteles in the time of julius Caesar.
Subsequently silver mirrors took the
place of brass or bronze ones almost al
together, though steel, copper and even
gold were also employed. Looking
