There is good deal of sound ad-
vice in the little editorial that we
clipped from the Minneapolis Mar
ket Record in regard to raising hogs.
Two years ago, when our farmers
had large crop, they thought there
was not enough money in hog rails
ing, so they disposed OF all their
hogs. This was not very wise
move on the part OF our farmers.
Last fall we had an average crop,
but the price was exceedingly low.
If our farmers had kept some young
pigs and have fed them ON this 45c.
wheat, it would have been money in
their pockets. They can hardly af-
ford to haul this wheat to town and
sell it for such low price, but by
converting it into pork, which they
could have sold at good price, they
would be making money. There is
considerable in this hog-raising busi-
ness, and If, as the Minneapolis
Market Record suggests, they diver
sify their farming interests in this
way, and raise less wheat, they will
help materially to solve the great
problem of low prices for breadstuffs.
Of course we don't pretend to know
more about farming than the farm
ers, but the suggestion Of the Min
neapolis paper struck us as being
good one and we reprint it for what
good there is in it. Any time that
our farmers feel like writing articles
on these subjects that in any way af-
feet their prosperity, we should be
pleased to hear from them and will
gladly give them space in our COL
umns for that purpose.

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature making it necessary for a
nine months residence in the state
before an action for divorce can be
commenced. Only a three months
residence is required under the OLD
law. This bill certainly ought to
pass the Legislature and be signed by
the governor. It does not sound
we'll to have people say that North
Dakota is the Mecca for person:
wanting a divorce.

thai we, and likely the readers Of your
paper, will have to take it for granted
that we are all in the same boat, Lame-
ly, the charges or inslnuations made
against the county officers in your is
sue Of Jan. 18th and Feb. 5rd, 1898. If
You haye said nothing to reflect on us,
we do not certainly understand the
English language. We shall, in Justice
to ourselves and the taxpayers, ask the
board of county commissioners, at
their first meeting, to investigate the
matter and make report thereon; or,
if they fail TO do 60, which we hope
they will not, we snail ask the public
examiner of this state, Mr.. Wallace, of
Jamesto or yourself or any ether
person to do SO. We have no further
statement to make until the Hon.
Board of Commissioners have been in
session, which is set for the 25th of this
month. VIII the editor please attend
the meeting and prove charges. and see
about "thc rake.off" and other matters.

The above answer is SO mild and
respectful that we can see nothing in
it that needs an answer or explana-
ton. The letter reads as though
Register Berg was trying to get off
one Of his dry jokes, written with one
of those 0oc. per dozen lead pencils.
We will rest our case here until Mr..
Berg gets his report in from the
public examiner. In the meantime
the taxpayers are much amused and
await further developments.

played the baby act, they are devoid
of party principle. Even Mr.. Casey's
withdrawal didn't seem to do much
towards uniting the republicans. For
the first few days after Casey pulled
out of the race, they went into eau
Gus to try and nominate his success
sor, and out of the forty odd iegisla-
tors present, thirty-five were voted
for. That is way our legislators are
doing. North Dakota. now has the
championship belt for having the
most candidates for Office than any

One or two ladies who are nothing If
they are not thorough have adopted the
forehead ornament of a single jewel or
pendant arrangement of smaller jewels,
with which our Observation-Disclosures
used to put the finishing touch to their
young beauty long ago. A very becom-
ing touch it is in some instances. With
empire gowns, which are supposed to be
more or less classical decidedly less, we
should say, the hair should be worn a
la Grecque, modernized, however, as
much as the wearer chooses with feather
tips, jewels and ribbons.
You will notice, moreover, that the
empire lady o very long glovesth
meet the sleeves, which, by the way, are
the latest things in that line, having the
fullness divided into two puffs. The
1880 dame has comparatively short
gloves, which leave the arms bare from
the elbow. And while in the empire
style the skirts are somewhat clinging,
she other has full, gathered petticoats,
which expand at the bottom in a way
that suggests crinoline.
A very charming toilet for a ball can
be made like the accompanying sketch,
which represents a model of the latest
style. 1t consists Of a slip and bodice of
canary colored satin covered with dra-

CONFLICT OF STYLES.
Empire Versus Restoration Cheap
Evening Toilette.

Here are the Scylla and Charybdis OF
the season-the rival styles of 1880 and
the empire-so take your choice of the
two evils, mesdames, if you wish to be
fashionable. But whatever you do be
consistent and do not try to serve two
mistresses. Do not "do" your hair in
empire fashion and wear an 1880 gown.
For the latter style the hair should be
slightly curled over the forehead and
worn with a high comb and loops of
hair or ribbon on the top of the head.
