Root and Vegetable Storing.

Some crops are much sooner injured
by frost or light freezing than others
and to avoid damage should be har-
vested in good season, says the Or
ange Judd Farmer. 1t is necessary
to store away where they are intend
ed to be Kept all Winter, says an ex-
change, but the safest plan is to store
where they will at least be sale from
injury by frost or light freezing. Sweet
potatoes are generally the first crop
to be dug, after these beets and car
rots and then the Irish potatoes.
Turnips stand considerable frost but
good freeze seriously injuries them
Cabbage will stand a. freeze, while
satisfy and parsnips can be left out all
Winter if desired, although usually
it is best to dig and store supply to
use during the Winter before hard
freezing weather sets in. A very good
plants to dig and sort, carefully taking
out all the small unmarketable speci-
mems and also any that are bruised
or injured. Fruit or vegetables to be
stored for long keeping must be sound.
Store them where there is a good
circulation OF air and yet in a place
where they can be readily protected
In case a sudden change of weather
should make it necessary. In this
way good opportunity will be given
them to dry out before storing away
and they will keep much better than
If they are dug and stored away i'm
mediately. With this work, as with
much else that is done on the farm, it
is better to get it done in good seaso on
than to be even a little behind, as an
early frost often does considerable
damage which a little work in proper
season would have readily avoided.
by sorting when harvesting some
work in handling may be avoided,
and the unmarketable part be fed
out toIthe stock which if left until the
product is either sold or used, would
be lost. Irish potatoes especially
should never be left exposed to the
sun any longer than is strictly
necessary, as they are easily damaged.
But all products will keep better if
they are we'll dried before storing
away. With care in handling much
loss by bruising may be avoided and
when crop has grown it seems only
common prudence to take pains to
save it in best condition possible and
it is therefore best to arrange to
harvest in good season, to sort and
dry carefully and then either mari et
or store away in as good a condition
as possible. But before selling make
sure OF a sufficient supply for home
use as it is rarely profitable to sell
products in the Autumn and then be
obliged to buy the next Spring before
anything CAN be grown to take their
place.

ment last week. He was there by
special invitation, with his staff, to re-
view the parade of the members of the
Firemen's association, in behalf of which
organization he has always taken a
prominent stand. Such a royal re-
ception coming from the people of Grand
Forks was especially gratifying to the
governor, because it demonstrated the
falsity Of the common belief that such
jealous enmity exists between Fargo
and Grand Forks that even social rela-
tions are strained. The governor says
he.could not have been better treated at
his own home. This is as it should be.
AS the states chief executive he was en-
titled to it. BY the way. it seems to be
the general sentiment Of the republicans
of this state that Mr.. Burke has made a
creditable executive and that no good
reason exists why the party should not
honor itself by honoring him with
another term.

The third p~artyites are now at sea for
a presidential candidate. They had
their hearts set upon Judge Gresham,
but the judge wouldn't have it. He told
them plainly that their su]b-treasury and
other hobbies were altogether too vision
airy and silly to be considered for one
moment. Judge Gresham, however, be-
lieves in the greater portion of the plat
form of the peoples party and would
have made a strong candidate. That he
refuses to allow his name to be used is
proof that in his opinion the application
of all the principles advocated by the
third partyites would be decidedly dis
astrous. Judge Gresham is a strong
anti-monopolist, but is practical in his
ideas of reform.

WHEN it is considered that over two
thirds of the republican majorities came
from the region vest of the Red River
valley it will not be argued out of rea.
son for this section to claim some repre-
sentation on the republican state ticket.
That is why Mr.. W. Fl. Bratton of Ster-
ling, is being mentioned as a possible u c
cessor to Mr.. Flittie for secretary of state,
and if that gentleman is not a candidate
then MIR. Bratton's chances seem just as
good as any n else. He is an old
soldier, with an armless sleeve, is a
genuine farmer, but from years of bust
ness training is fully competent for the
most intricate clerical work. He is q
stalwart republican, is not a politician
and has 10 alliances with political fac
tions.

Blaine procession, Senator H%ansbrough
wore a Blaine badge, and Senator Casey

for 1t hat "Blaine would be the

is quite ridiculous. Our Washington

was no discredit to them that their first

fearful eye and q~uivering lip. The
Herald sees no hope; it is disappointed,
and it swallows a huge lump which
sticks in it's throat, with an effort. 1t

the realization. Editorially it says:
We have not favored this (Cleveland's)
nomination and have given ample reasons
for our opposition. Whether the country
will favor it or whether it will be shown
that the democrats have thrown their Op.
portunity away and invited defeat remains
to be seen.

AMONG a number of kilograms from
executives of western and northwestern
states, published in last Saturdays
edition of the New York Press, appears
the following from Bismarck, and signed
by A. S. Capehart, as private secretary:
"Governor Burke would say that the re.
publicans look forward to a complete re-
publican victory in this new state this fall.
North Dakota will cast her first electoral
vote for Harrison and Reid. Mr.. Cleve-
lands veto while president of pension bills
and his retention of Land Commissioner
Sparks in defiance of the protest of both
republicans and democrats will gain his
party no votes in North Dakota. Both
parties believe that the Sparks laI d
rulings NATURALLY retarded the growth Of
this State. The republicans are therefore
sanguine IF a sweeping victory this fall.

guarantee that North Dakota would be

On the 22d day of June, Ravachal, the
anarchist vas found guilty of the
murder Of the hermit Brunei, and
sentenced to death. Ravachal admitted
the killing, but gave as an excuse, that
the social system was SO bad that one
had to do a little killing IN order to live.
The jury, it is pleasing to note, was out
but fifteen minutes, and came to the
conclusion that Ravachal's theory was
about right, and that, in order for other
persons to live, they must do a little
killing; accordingly they will have
Ravachal killed. It is a very poor rule
which can't be made to work both
ways.

IT is claimed that cannibalism still
exists, on an island in the track of
vessels, plying between India and
Australia. The natives are seemingly
devoid of any moral sense, killing and
eating animals of all descriptions,
occasionally finding a shipwrecked
sailor of whom, as an article of food,
they are particularly fond. Eastern
journals want the people civilized, but
as very few persons aspire to be eaten by
cannibaIs, "who is to bell the cat?"

statement that "the condition of affairs

rant the immediate exceptance Of his
resignation This statement was the
cause of much discussion throughout
the country. It was interpreted in
many ways, to mean many different
things. And the cloud of mystery which
surrounded the resignation of Blaine
acted greatly to his disadvantage. The
first light thrown upon the resignation,
was by President Harrison's mes

seems from this that the president
and secretary were in entire accord upon

was no such quarrel, and Blaine's resig.

IT is understood that President Sout-
hard of the Worlds Fair board, intends
to resign. II that is his intention he is
serving no good purpose by delaying the
act. North Dakota has a multiplicity
of Worlds Fair directors and commits
s%ioners, but not a single substantial
thing being done looking to a proper
representation of the state at that great
exposition. Not to be properly repre-
sented at Chicago during this event is
nothing short of a calamity. Could
every North Dakotan visit the Worlds
Fair grounds now and see what has
already been done, learn the magnitude
of the undertaking and in q genaral way
acquaint himself with what every other
state and country in the world is doing
and intends to do, there would not be a
man, woman or child in this whole state
who would not rise up in earnest protest
against further delay in this important
matter. In every county in the state
from a dozen to a hundred farmers
ought, at this moment, to be nursing
and caring for growing grain
and other products to be used as samples
Of North Dakota's possibilities. The
best products that can be selected, after
being subjected to the injury of trans
porting and arranging, will not more
than equal the average in this favored
land, and to put off, even for another
month the selection of grain specimens
for the Worlds Fair, will simply be
fatal representation. Let us pray for a
wave of patriotism to sweep over the
whole North Dakota contingent, and
move them ali to resign, and then possi-
bly, the governor can find one, two or
three men, who unhampered by jealous.
les and free from political alliances may
go ahead with the work, devote their
time and united energies to the project
and save the state of North Dakota from
great humiliation next year. Just as
surely as night follows day, every North
Dakotan who goes to the Worlds Fair
next year and finds no exhibit, or a half
exhibit only, from this state, will bow
his head with shame and regret.

THAT PLATFORM,

The democratic platform is essentially
democratic. Not democratic in the
literal sense of the word, but is in the
same manne democratic as is the party
which bears that name. It is not a
platform which boldly what
are the intentions of the party which
formulated it. 1t is not a platform
which specifies intended means Of i'm
provement. 1t is one complete, con-
tinuous wall; a vail of almost as dire
a character as that of the peoples party;
it is a tale of pretended woe, and i'm
agined wrongs. AS the platform of the
democratic party, as that party is
known, it is a success, for, in it's doleful
wailings, it duplicates the party; but as
a platform that people may look up to-,
and in which they may see hopes Of a
better condition, it is a dire and dismal
failure. It is a platform of denunciation
and attempted condemnation. Instead
of 1--WE believe in a certain line of
policy they say 1--WE condemn the
present administration as incompetent,
corrupt, dlsgraceful," etc, lad nauseam.
Such a line Of policy cannot but react to
the ultimate destruction of the party
advancing it. No thinking person will
say that the present administration is in
competent. In the light Of past events,
of the satisfactory adjustments of diff
culties with foreign powers, of the diplo-
matte arrangement of inter-continental
discussions, no n can say that the
present administration Is incompetent.
The statement is ridiculously absurd,
the doleful emanatlon of the brains of
defeated party leaders. The platform
makes some assertions, which at each
opportunity of proving their belief in
them, they have gone squarely back
upon. They say they believe in a
larger navy, and at each opportunity
they object to any bill providing for an
appropriation for a navy, on the grounds
of ECONOMY" The platform would be
a good one for a people bound in the
calling chains of political dishonesty
and physical suffering, but as a platform
for a broad minded, liberal thinking
American people, it is a failure.
