There is nothing, (unless it
be the Sewing Machine) that
has lightencd woman's labor
as much as Dobbins' Electric
Soap, constantly sold, since
1869. Now, why rub and
toll, and wear out yourself and
your clothes, on washday,
when this perfect soap is pro-
vided, to Tighten your labor,
and save your clothes? If you
have ever used it, in the II
years we have made and sold
it, you kno7O that it is the best,
purest, and most economical
soap made. If you haven't
tried it, ask your grocer for
it no7v. Be sure and get the
genuine, with our name on
the wrapper.
orhn rlIto II is not the selling
hE-HO tTIiS price alone, that must
r,aurr be considered, in mr.
ViNCn irving at knowledge
of the value of an article There is as much
real pure soap in bar of Dobbins' Elec-
trio as in four bars of any other soap made,
and it will if used according to directions,
do four times as much work as any other.
Its cost is but very Sight advance on

The rule in progressive farming should
be to begin where you are and make the
most of your present facilities. 1t is posi-
BILE always by judicious crossing to make
stock better. 1t is also possible to secure
better implements, cultivate better and
thus increase productive capacity of the
soil. When this is done, and not until
then, 1t will pay TO expend money in fer
tilizers. The rule should be to make the
most of what the soil already contains be-
fore asking more.-American Cultivator.

Eggs Taintlng In Cellars.

Owing to the cooness of most cellars
they are favorite places for keeping eggs
in Summer. But unless kept scrupulously
clean, cellars ARE no better than upstairs
for keeping eggs. The egg shell is po-
rous, and If placed anywhere near foul
odors of any kind it will absorb them. I his
is one reason why when hens are allowed
nc, ess to manure pies, and make their
ness surrounded by manure, II eggs will
not keep well. Such eggs are not even
good for setting, as the foul odors peue-
tratins the shell destrots the embryo chick
snd causes the gg to addle rather than to
hatch. But cellars should be kept clean
for even better reas ons th1n this. Health
| If those who live above them demands
that the cellar be not only cleaned but be
thoroughly ventilated as well.

Farmers Will Furnish Beets,

Last year sugar beet seed was distrib-
uted by the agricultural depart
ment among the farmers of North
Dakota. Many Burleigh county farmers
obtained and planted the seed and some
of the beets were sent to the department
to be analysed as to their sugar produc-
ing qualities. The test was entirely sat-
isfactory and showed that the Missouri
slope could raise a good quality of sugar
beet. But there the matter ended. There
being no market for sugar beets,of course
there was no use raising an article for
which there was no sale. And now
comes the announcement from James.
town that Mr.. Henry Oxnard, president
of the Oxnard Beet Sugar company, has
been in that section to see what the in
ducements were for establishing a fac
tsry in this state. Mr.. Oxnard has es-
tablished two large sugar factories in
Nebraska, one at Grand Island, and one
at Norfolk. He is nov on his way to
California, where he has erected a third
factory at Fresno, in the southern part
of the state. Each plant costs about
half a million dollars. The telegram
further states: M
It is MI. Oxnard's purpose to estab.
lish more factories than those now mop.

How to Prevent Frost.

frost by building bonires. Farmer. P P.
Allen has saved his wheat several times
when the grain of his neighbors was
ruined. He had straw distributed at
convenient points and burned it during
cold nights when he anticipated frost.
Some say it is the smoke and some say
it is the heat, it may be both. Another

VIM. Adams of Grand Forks tells the
Herald that a little over two years ago
he with others in this city was induced
to invest his money in the American
Building and Loan association, of St.
Paul, and was to pay into it's treasury
the sum of fifteen dollars per month.
It was a part Of the agreement with the
said American Building and Loan asso-
citation that any of it's members in good
standing could withdraw from the asso-
citation by giving two months notice of
intention to do so. When Billy became
a member he received a certificate
numbered 23,183. Having complied
with all the requirements of the asso-
citation and being a member in good
standing, and wishing to withdraw from
the same, MI. Adams gave the usual
sixty days notice to that effect. When
it had expired he looked a~nxiously
for his money, but it came not.
After waiting for two months or more
longer and receiving no response to his
oft repeated requests, MI. Adams
finally placed the matter in the hands
OF an attorney for collection. Now it

GRAFTON wherever the best inducements
prevail. There is a bounty of 2 cents
per pound for five years on beet sugar by
a state law. Nh. Oxnard was driven to
several sugar beet patches yesterday in
the vicinity OF jamestown and made a
short examination of the results of the
growth of the vegetables so far this sea-
son. He was greatly surprised to find
the conditions for the growth of the beet
80 good. He hardly expected this fact,
as he has been led to believe North Da-
kota was not adapted as fully as other
localities for raising beets, but yester-
days trip removed all doubts on that
score. He says there is a popularity
about sugar beets in their standing both
drouth and rainfall, also that hail does
not destroy them. His chief fear in this
locality would be the lack of sufficient
acreage to keep a factory going. It re-
quires at least $500 acres to supply each
plant and 1900 are preferred. The water
OF the city artesian we'll was examined and
pronounced entirely satisfactory for the
process. The salts in the water are elm
mated by the process of manufacturing.
A plant would require a special artesian
we'll. Forty tons of limestone are re-
quired daily in the Nebraska factories,
which are hauled $50 miles on a low con-
tract with the railroads. It is possible
that quarries nearer than that are to be
found in this state. Mr.. Oxnard's visit
here was particularly encouraging for the
future of this enterprise. He says he
will return again this fall and make a
more thorough examination into the de-
tails of the project and hopes to be able
to establish a factory in the state"
AS will be seen by the above, Mr.. Ok
mard's only fear is that he could not get
enough beets to supply a factory in this
state. He need have no fear on this score.
Ii he can pay a sufficient price for sugar
beets to make it an object for the farmers
to raise them he will get all the beets he
can use. Every farmer would plant a
small patch at least, if he was sure of
sale for them at a sufficient price to re-
munerate him for his labor.

ground was broken up we had prairie
fires in the fall. The steamboat men
used to notice that we had warmer wealth
er after the prairie fires. Sometimes the
ice would form on the river. and some-
times block our boats. Then we would
pray for prairie fires. After the prairie
grass was frozen it was soon in condition
to burn and then we would have several
weeks of open weather. The time will
come in the near future when we will be
able to protect our growing grain entire
ly from frost.
