Wheat and Barley Fed Hogs.
In last weeks issue the Leader contained
an article on converting wheat into pork.
The following from the Pioneer Press is
an excellent article on the same subject
"The most profitable purpose to which
wheat can be put at the present low prices
is to feed it to the hogs. A good manv
hogs have recently come into tho St. Paul
market fattened on wheat, and the re-
suit has been that the farmer has got
more than twice as much for
his wheat in this form as he could have
realized for it by selling the grain itself
When hogs are only ~ cents pound the
farmer can get at least 81 bushel for his
wheat converted into pork. This has
been demonstrated by 80 many expert
rnents IN this state and in Illinois that il
is sqfe to set it down as Il rule. Moreover
in this way the farmer can escape very
large share Of the charges for transport
ing his wheat to market.
In recent instance North Dakots
farmer got nearly 81 400 for car load ol
wheat-fed hogs at the South st. Paul stoci
yards, when he couldn't have realized more
than $3.50 at Minneapolis for car load
of wheat. So that it IL the most pr0fita
BILE business now within the reach of tht
farmer to condense his wheat into pork
But barley, which is surer crop, will an
swer exactly the same purpose. Hogs fec
on wheat or barley command higher
price than the corn-fed animals. The
quality of the pork is many degrees bet
ter. If eur Northwestern farmers would
get into the general practice of raising
hogs on these cerae,s, Minnesota porl
would soon have As wide reputstioI,s al
it's hard wheat and would command tn.
same relatively higher prices in the mar
;ket. There is no question of farm econ
omy of such substantial importance tt

I1ncendiary Fire In stanton.

On Friday night of last week the store
of A. B. Strickler, of Stanton, Mercer
county, was burned to the ground with all
it's contents. In the ruins the safe was
found to have been blown open which
clearly point out the fire as of incendiary
origin. The store had been robbed and
safe blown open and looted and the torch
applied. The loss Is total one to Auditor
Strickler he having no insurance. He
had large stock of goods for a general
country store, and its destruction at this
time will be severely felt by the commu-
nity around Stanton.

Economy a Good watchword.

Free Press: Business men and farmers
are alike coming to the confusion
that crdit is dangerous and that
business conducted on cash basis is the
safer and in the end the more profitable.
The proper use of credit presupposes 80
small amount of business training-and
the farmer is no move exempt from strict
adherence to business principles than any
one else. 1t will be found that tn ose of
our farmers who have conducted their af-
fairs in conservative manner and hBve
extended their farming operations only
when they could see their way clear, and
who have titled their land in rational
manner are fast becoming wealthy in
spite of the hard times. 1t is those who
are undertaking to speculate and who are
times most keenly. Credit easily obtained
leads to extravaganza, unless checked by
experience and rational training. We
again reiterate what we have said before
that North Dahota would have had more
actual settlers and fewer tenantless home
steads had it been more difficult to bor-
row money on land. Machine companies
could sell their goods for less than half of
their present profit If they did not have
to chare those that pay the debts incurred
by those who are unable to do SO. More
care and greater economy should be the
watchword of the North Dakota farmer.

The Magpies Return.

One of the mysteries to local ornitholo-
gists was the sudden disappearance about
the year 1878, of the magpie hosts which
had, before that time been SO plentiful in
this section of country. The birds were
natives here, and dweller through all
sea sons. over twelve years these, birds
made other lands their homes, but about
one year ago they commenced to reappear
here, and are now found in considerable
numbers among the. groves along the Mis-
souri,. The magpie is welcome to ITS old
timbered haunts, not 50 much for its chat
tering noise as its good looks, for they are
beautiful and intelligent birds,

Hunt Them Down.

For several weeks past series of bur.
glaries and petty thefts have been going
on i'll various places in this section. First
some one broke into Geo. L. Robinson's
stable at Coal Harbor and two saddles
stolen, and others in that neighborhood
suffered from various petty and annoying
thefts. However, the evil instead of less
lining is growing-from petty thefts to
the midnight torch and the masked foot
pad and robber, as witness the recent fire
at Stanton and robbery at the Painted
Woods.
The perpetrators of these dastardly
outrages though they may not be residents
are no strangers. The system of their
work, their knowledge of the premises
they rob and loot show that. The blow
ing open of the safe at Stanton show they
have some inkling Of the burRlals art II
That they have means of travel other
than ponies or team il made clear by the
facility which they appear on either side
of the MISSOURI.
Whatever may be said IN other sections
about hard times being an excuse for this
this kind of work-in these parts at least,
there is none. For months past employ
ment has been offered at good wages for
those who will work in hay camp, harvest
field and VITA the treshing machines
Food is plenty and easily obtained for
man or for beast.
But these Williams do not want work
They prefer to pilfer, loot and steal
strike down the unguarded, the weak and
the unsuspicious, and it is the duty of this
community to organize and hunt these
criminals down.

urged it little.

A Tippler's Stratagem,

Sanerant relates the following
anecdote of Schwartz famous
German painter Having been en-
gagged to paint the ceiling OF the town
hall at Munich, by the day. his love
OF dissipation induced him to neglect
his work, and the magistrates and
Overseers of the work were frequently
obliged to hunt him out at the tavern.
AS he could no longer drink in quiet,
he stuffed an image Of himself, left
the legs hanging down between the
staging where he was accustomed to
work, and sent one of his boon COM
panlons to move the image a little
two or three times day, and to take
it away at noon and night. BY means
Of this deception, he drank, without
the least disturbance, whole fort
night together, the inkeeper being
aware of the plot. The officers came
round twice day to look after him,
and seeing the well-known stockings
which he was accustomed to wear,
suspected nothing wrong, and went
their way greatly extolling tt.rir new
convert as the most industrious and
conscientious painter in the world.

Who SpOilS the Sons?

Men are reproached 70: allowing
their daughter to grow up unbusiness-
like and incompetent, and to the
father should truly be attributed this
failure upon the part of the daughter.
But upon the other side much may
be said. If fathers neglect their duty
towards their daughters in this re.
spect, to the mother alone is most
due the spelling of the sons. Just
why this should be no one can tell
but the fact remains. sit is women, "
says some one. who in the retire.
ment Of home, serve their sons and
husbands into a state of helplessness
that cannot distinguish a hair brush
from a clean shirt at twenty PAGES "
The woman who trots up and down
after her sons, giving them this, find
ing them that, saying all the time to
her friends with that deprecating
smile which is SO eXasperating to the
outsider, 'Men are so helpless" is
not only taking great many unneces-
sary steps, but is laying UP future
trouble for all concerned. When a
young man has been so trained that
he cannot find his own pocket hand
kerchief when it is lying directly be-
fore his eyes in his bureau drawer,
when he goes into business how can
he be expected to be of any real serv-
ice to his employer, who probably re-
qulreS an alert, observing assistant?
If his mother and sisters wait upon
him for every little thing, how he is
lifted for noting when those over him
require his services unasKed? What
training has he had which would tend
to make him of any real value to an
employer? Women are preached to
and preached at, and are exhorted to
so train their girls that they shall be
desirable wives; but we would like to
add word Of eXhortation on our own
account upon the other side, and beg
our mother readers to look to it that
their sons are also trained to be
thoughtful, kind, desirable husbands.

HOW BARNUM WON HIS WIFE.
Figured as "Lord Mayor of Bridgeport" as
Well as Prince of Showmer,

Figured as "Lord Mayor Of bridgeport" as
Well as Prince of ShowmeN.
The late illustrious 2. T. Barnum
OF pleasant memory was certainly the
prince OF humbugS 1t is said to
have been a settled theory with him
that people like to be humbugged,
and II his acquisition of several dis
tinct fortunes may be taken as any
indication the facts sustain this
theory. Few people would imagine
that even he could carry his theory
so far in his private life as he is said
to have done in securing for a wife
the estimable lady who is now his
widow.
Barnum was Mayor Of Bridgeport
and widOwer lie was lonesome
and his beautiful home, Waldemere,
on the shore OF Long Island SQUAD,
was not much visited except by sight
seerS He became interested in the
beautiful daughter of John Fish, of
Southport England, IA retired manu-
facturer, and solicited her hand in
marriage. Barnum was we'll ad-
vanced in years and knew his fame as
the prince of showmen was not sut,i.
Gent to win the prize In fact, that
fame might have hurt his suit rather
than help it, for Miss Fish greatly
disliked the nOtOricty attached to the
greatest show on earth" and after
she had married its owner always
managed to hold herself aloor from
the publicity her husband loved so
we'll.
But the old showman's knowledge
Of the English love for official cele-
brity led him to play a winning card.
He had his photograph taken, with
Waldemere as a background. The
picture represented him seated in a
snowy landau, Larnessed to four
beautiful black horses, his coachman
on the box and two footmen up be-
hind. Under the photograph were
the words, Lord Mayor of Bridge
port" A copy of this picture was
forwarded to Miss Fish, and Rarnum
always thought it did the business. 4"
Mrs Barnum probably never re-
GREETED if she ever knew the little
trick that had been played on her.
Life at Waldemere became all gayety
after her advent, and there was COM
ing and going of distinguished people
continually. Mr.. Barnum's will pro-
vided very literally for his widow.
Resides an income of $40. 900 annually
for life and S25, 900 in cash he be-
Queathed to her Wademere, the
name OF which she has changed to
Marina, and considerable other real
estate. She thoroughly enjoys her
good fortune, spending great deal Of
her time riding, driving, and walking
with all the fondness of an English
woman for out of door life and devot-
ing an hour or two daily to her piano.
She is an exceptionally clever woman
and has done considerable writing for
periodicals both in England and
America

Marked Fishes.

People are so accustomed to look
upon the "Finnan haddie" as a
toothsome breakfast relish, that it
will be news to them that the fish
has associations of a highly romantic
character. If you look at fresh had.
dock, you will notice dark patches on
its shoulders Sometimes these are
Joined together by dark line, from
which feature the Romans gave them
the name of Asinus, or Ass, because
1T resembled the stripe on the don,
keys withers. But other folk ac
count for these dark spots in quite
another way. They say the haddock
was the fish that Peter caught in the
sea of Galilee, when he was hidden
(St. Matthew xvii. i27) capture the
first fish that came UP and take tho
tribute money out of its mouth In
doing this the apostle marked it's
sides with his thumb and finger, and
these marks afterward became the
permanent decoration of the haddock
tribe in commemoration of the
event. Unfortunately for this story,
the haddOck is not found in the Sea
of Galilee.
