The Devils Lake Inter- Ocean, speaking
of the late trouble Mt Minot with the First
National Bank of that place, says the
whole affair originated in a disagreement
between Mr.. Mcars and the county officials.
1t seems that there was some irregularity
in the assessment against the bank. As
reported, the takes, amounting to about
$1,000, were assessed against the bank
instead of against the individual stock
holders (Which the Inter-O Ocean says is the
way it should have been done) and Mr..
Mears attempted to evade their payment.
The county treasurer retaliated by with
drawing the county's funds which were on
deposit in the bank, and this in turn
frightened other depositors, who kept
checking out until Cachier Salyards had
no more money OH hand.

The new tread power threshing machine.
recently introduced in the northwest seems
to be a success and will no doubt be used
quite extensively by our farmers before
long. Speaking of these machines the
jamestown Alert says: Zone of these
small .separators is now at work on the
Darlington e. Casey farm in Foster county,
md Senator Casey, always on the lookout
for improvements in farm machinery, has
been about the first to try this substitute
for the expensive steam thresher. The
tread power machine is worked by three
horses or oxen, with five or six men, and
costs about $3.50 Or 5000, and threshes
from 800 to 400 bushels a day. For small
farmers. an outfit of this kind is badly
needed in every part of the state and the
probabilities arc that a good many
machines will be in operation next year.
In every case reported these small separ-
ators have given the greatest satisfaction
The expense of boarding from 20 to 81
men, the difficulties i'll getting crews
together and the greatest trouble of keep
ing them sober in bad weather or on
Sunday, will be avoided by the substitution
of the tread-power. The threshing item
of an expensive steam outfit is also too
great, as the price charged this year, from
IL to Is cents, shows. Delays, danger of
fires and other objections to the steam
power machine are prevented by the use
of the smaller plant"

grass keeps them i'll health and produces
far better pork than grain fed swine. The
large increase in our export of pork should
be followed by a universal effort to make
better pork. The best pork is the lean,
or at least where the lean predominates,
and this is not obtained by feeding the
animal on rich grain. Grass is the most

cheapest. Next to this vegetables are the

third. The corn and grain swine are the
