A WHEAT MARKET.
During 1892 Langdon Shipped
100000 Bushels
BANNER WHEAT MARKET
Figures From the Agricultural
Bureau of Commissioner
Helgesen.
BANNER WHEAT MARKET

Agent Stevenson, of the Great
Northern railroad, has been giving
considerable time and attention for
several days past to the computation
of how much grain has actually been
shipped from this point during the
year that has just closed. After going
carefully over the records of cars ship
ped by him during 1892 he states that
a conservative estimate will place the
amount at little over million and a
quarter bushels. This consists of
wheat, oats and barley in the follow
ing proportions, wheat 1,007 cars, OF
about 604 800 bushels; oats 237 cars, or
about 2S5,250 bushels; barley 800 cars,
or about 225,36O bushels; the whole
amounting to, as stated above, in
round numbers about a million and a
quarter bushels OF grain raised within
the marketing radius of this city. 1t
is estimated, by parties who are placed
in IL position to know, that quite Il
large portion of this years crop in sew
eral localities is. as yet not marketed
SO it is safe to say that to these figures
we might easily add several thous-
and bushels, still leaving out the
amount that the farmers are reserving
for seed this spring.
Thus during the year of 1892 Lang
don has not only distanced every other
city in the northern tier of counties,
of this state, but has eXcelled the re-
cord Of several past years; and has
placed herself in the front ranks as Il
first-class wheat market. Being situa-
ted in the midst of one of the finest
wheat raising districts, and the bust
ness of wheat buying being conducted
by liberal minded business men, both
public and private buyers, is what has
gained for this city the position she
holds today among the wheat markets
of the state. In connection with this
we do not consider it will be out of
place to give Il few facts from the re-
port of Commissioner Helgesen of the
agricultural, bureau regarding the
yield of the several grain crops in this
county during the past season.

From the above table it is easily
seen that Langdon has received over
$1,000 bushels of the wheat marketed
out of the 100000, which Commission
Ell Helgesen estimates as the amount
raised in this county. His figures can
be relied upon as they are based upon
returns sent him by farmers who re-

would have each township organize
into a municipality for road purposes.
Then. when two-thirds Of the taxpaying
citizens of a township should vote to tax
themselves for road purposes, the state
should furnish an equal amount, not to
exceed in the aggregate 8 per cent on the
assessed value of the taxable property Of
the township. Let the state issue its
bonds at 3 per cent to cover one-half of
the indebtedness and loan its credit for
the township half of Indebtedness, limit
ing the aggregate indebtedness to $780,

township property would Don liquidate

cost of rock and gravel roads and find
that the cost will not exceed s., 900 per

assessed value of a township property is
81, 0O0. 900. An Indebtedness of $50. 900
can be created, Of which the state pays
$e5, 900 and the township $25, 900. This
will build % miles of road.
As 10 the justice and equity of this
proposition, it will be remembered that
TIE bulk of the recent Indebtedness of
the state, now so Lo4r,y liquidated, vas
contracted by loaning the credit of the
state for building railroads; that the lien
was subsequently released. and the

How COUNTRY ROADS ARg "fIxep.
After Much Flowing and ~Scraping the Re-
suit L. an Accumulation.

After Much Flowing and scraping the Re-
suit L. an Accumulation.
The general discussion in regard to
roadways, the hue and cry for improve
ments, has led to some changes not an
ticipated or desired, says The C~ultivator
and Country Gentleman, and there is a
great deal Of truth in its remarks, as any
one who has had any experience in rid
ing over country roads after they have
been fixed" can attest.
Here is a stretch of road with a turf
strip on each side between the road and
fences. The winding way. hemmed by
greensward and shaded by trees, is pic
turesque at least. 1t is hat people like
to see in the country. They do not ex-
pect q curbed street with tagged gut
ters. The turfed sides provide a walk
for those who go on foot-for all people
in the country do not ride. This bit Of
road has not been mended for years; it
needs no mending; it is hard, smooth,
with a sandy substratum that keeps it
we'll drained; it cannot be improved in
any way, and If all roads were as good
a it nothing would be said about bad
roads.
But the highway surveyor" Gas the
town official who mends roads is called),
perhaps spurred on by the discussion, at
tacks the strip Of road in question and
spoils it. He plows up the roadside turf
and scrapes all turf, loan and sand into
the middle of the road, rounds it up'
and believes that he has rebuilt and i'm
proved it. This is a mistake. A clean,
hard, road is changed into a mudholA
and a quagmire. Persons on foot have
only the middle Of the way, and when
they meet teams they are driven into the
gutter ankle deep in mud, for the sur
veyor plowed deep and made a gutter
which gullies whenever the rain falls.
The road will not be molested again fof
several years and will gradually wear
down and be safe to travel over again
about the time the surveyor or his sue
cessor appears and ''mends' again.
In some places farmers work out a
part of their taxes by working on the
highways, and in other places the town
makes a contract with a farmer to keep
the roads in repair. The farmer has no
time for roads until his farm work is
done in the fall, the worst time in the
year to repair roads, when he plows and
scrapes and rounds up. During the fall
and spring and perhaps all winter, If
the winter is open, the new road is the
worst on the circuit-a stretch of mud
through which all teams and foot passen-
gers must go. And they call this road
Improvement 1t is not. 1t is roadda
aging, pure and simple, and the more
this kind Of roadbuilding is practiced
the greater is the Inconvenience, the
greater the wear and tear and the cost of
maintaining all wagon and harness gear,
and, forsooth, the greater the hue and
cry about bad roads.

ton. Not long after one of the

along h street, saw the young mans
face and was struck by his intelligence
and wondered what had brought him

snow. He stopped. spoke to him, re-
ceived a prompt and courteous answer.

getting a few facts about his history, and
then asked the young man tocall at his
office. That night the shovel era end
ed, and the next day at the appointed
time the young man was closeted with
the millionaire. In one of the latter's
many enterprises there was a vacant
place, and the young man who was
willing to shovel got it. 1t was a small
place at a small salary, but he more
than filed it; he filled il so well in
deed, that in a few months he was pro-
NOTED, and at the end Of three years he

PlN-MONEY.

Came into Use.

Uncle Hugh Tells How This Term First
Came into Use.
Here is your pin-money, Maud"
said Uncle Hugh, as he handed his
niece a bright silver dollar.
THANK you. uncle; ! was just wish
ing for some spare change" and Maud's
eyes fairly beamed as she took the
offered money.
"Uncle Hugh, when you give me
money to spend just as l please, why
do you always call it ''pin-money?'
Maud asked.
'Well my dear, 1 will tell you the
origin of the term 'pin-money.' Pins
were introduced into England by
Catharine, first wife of Henry VIII.
They were not, however, the we'll
known small-pointed instruments such
as we use, but were made of gold,
silver. ivory and brass, many of
them weighing as much as
six or eight ounces. Such pins
as those were worn in the hair and
used on different parts of the clothing
to fasten folds or drapery, and were
quite ornamental. Thus, you see, the
first pins were much more useful to la
dies than gentlemen. The Spanish
manufacturers were permitted to sell
their pins only during the Christmas
holidays. and in hat way gentlemen
began to give the ladies of their respec-
tive families money at Christmas-time
with which to buy pins. At first they
were very expensive, costing as much
as we now have to pay for a valuable
piece of jewelry. However, after pins
had become common and cheap,
gentlemen continued the practice of
giving their wives, daughters and sis
ters money to buy pins; in that way
the term 'pin-momey' originated. and it
is now applied to an allowance cade to
a lady to buy any small articles she
may need or desire"
81 am glad YOU told me all about 1T,
uncle said Maud; "and | thank You
very much."1Harper's Young People

rhe Enternal Appearanee OF jesus.

| have often wondered what the ex-
ternal appearance of Jesus was like
whether He was tall and slender or short
of stature, and whether He was emaciated
on account of His frequent fasts and the
great burdens resting upon Him. Espe-
cially have wondered what His face was
like-whether it was a sweet face which
once seen could never be forgotten, or
whether, as some tradition says, there
never was a smile u.pon it.
Is there anything wrong in such a
thought as lis? Does it not seem nat
ural that when one reads SO much about
the words and acts Of Jesus, and knows
that a noblcr, kinder being never lived,
he should ' onder as to the expression of
His face, the color of His eyes and hair,
and meeting LiIl upon the highway
would men be attracted by the beauty of
His face or would they be impressed by
His homelinesss
While going up and down the Holy
Land | thought much about the external
appearance of Jesus and wondered
whether anywhere in that country /
should meet a face that would in some
measure answer to my idea of the Christ.
In the crowded streets of Jerusalem, in
the Garden of Gethsemane, at the Pool
of Sloan, at the supposed site of Calvary
north of the Damascus gate, at Bethle-
hem, Nazareth, and as we wound along
the beaten paths of travel among the hills
and over the plains, | kept my eyes open
for a picture of the Christ.
Leaving the camp at Tiberias early
one morning fora walk northward along
the sea l came upon a man standing APP
parently in deep meditation upon a rock.
His hair was long, his figure slight, his
countenance sad, his eyes piercing and
yet full Of tenderness. There seemed to
be something about him that aroused
strange feelings within my heart. Had
/ seen the Christ? have tried to forget
that face and form, and yet it clings to
me. Whatever the form of Jesus may
have been, l know this-that there never
was n that came so near my ideal as
this. Rev. E. Herbruck, Phi. d.

Cut Away The brush at bends.

An excellent ~prcc1Ction. but Z rare
" attended 10. is the cutting away of
brush and weed growth along the road,
particularly around the inside of a sharp
turn or bend. in order TO enable one to
see if any traps are coming from the OPP
posite direction. for in these days of fast
driving, when every man i,nagines he
owns a t%rotter, a narrow winding road
becomes dangerous unless means are
provided to get out of the way of the
''old mare" as she tears around the cor
ner.
Brrsh when not cut down every sea-
son encroaches with incredible rapidity
and spreads so fast into the cutters that
if neglected it narrows the roads percep-
tibly, and the same thing is true of
weeds and grass, although in a lesser
degree; they also should be removed at
least every year. not. however, by the
following reprehensible process, which
finds great favor in the eyes of road
masters and farmers, and consists in
sending out the hoy" with a yoke Of
oxen, or the hired man" with a team
to run a couple of burrows M and down
the cutters with a plow, thereby loosen
ing but not destroying all this vegetable
growth, which is then either left TO OBJ
struct the cutters with useless ridges
or flung out over the road to pack down
in all sorts of unequal masses.-Har-
