near Devils Lake bought wagon for

wagon purchased and On, his team.
The next spring he renewed and
gave a mortgage on his, growing
crop. Immediately after threshing,
before the mortgage was due, the
shylock deemed himself insecure,
took possession of the property, run
up $40 expenses, bid in the horses
for S25, the wagon tor $40, 100
bushels of wheat for $aS and took
judgment for S35. The wheat would
have paid the debt if the farmer
could have had FIVE days for redemp-
ton. A widows cow worth $40,
was mortgaged for $40 and bid in for
the mortgage and costs. Five days
redemption would have saved it for
her. One man gave . mortgage
when he purchased a team, adding
three other animals. He had two
crop failures; renewed twice, adding
additional security; paid in interest
more than the original debt; lost the
five head of horses originally mort
gagged and seventeen head OF cattle,
on which he had given a second
mortgage as additional security. If
redemption is allowed the property
will be bid in for the full amount of
the debt; the shylecks will not take the
pound Of flesh but will be content
with principal and interest.-Bis-

A GOOD BILL.

Mr.. McCanna's bill, giving five
days tor redemption on chattel mort
gage sales, had narrow escape yes
terday. Though farmers bill and
in their interest, the farmers to a
considerable number voted against
it. Some, not farmers, who voted
no changed to aye in order to save
it. Under the present law there is
no redemption on chattel mortgage
sales, and usually the mortgages con-
tain a provision under which they
may be foreclosed at any time the
mortgage deems himself insecure.
In that part of the state where Mr..
McCanna resides they have been
cursed by cut-throat money loaners
who demand S per cent. per month
for their money. So long as
the interest is paid promptly they re-
gard themselves entirely secure, but
if the crop fails they demand more
security, and often seized the proper.

GOO. Notice that such mort

them must be given by publishing
the same for six successive weeks, at
least once each week in the nearest
newspaper in the county where the
premises intended to be sold or
some of them are situated. it there

est newspaper published in any join
ing county.
Sec. 2. All acts or parts of acts
IN conflict with the provisions of this
act are hereby repealed.
The public will at once see the
justice of this bill, and the the news
paper publishers OF the state, bar
ring the few dailies and county seat
organs that alone reap a benefit
through the present manner of pub
fishing these notices, will all favor
the passage of this bill. The bill
provides that the paper published in
the county nearest the land to be
foreclosed shall be the one to pub
lish the notice, thereby bringing the
notice to the attention Of the party
whose land is about to be sold and
also the attention of his neighbors,
who, as general rule, take their
home papers and are the ones direct
ly interested in such foreclosures.
1t also divides the income from such
publications equally among the
newspapers of the state and offers no
inducement to any paper to cut legal
rates to obtain such publications.
The Sun strongly favors this bill and
hopes the representatives from Ram
sey county will do all in their power
to secure its passage. We would al
SO suggest that all publishers favor

sentatives from their district to use

FARMER TALKS
OTTAWA, Feb. 2, 1898.


The sound advice to farmers
in your last issue Is good ON raising
hogs. Diversified agriculture ard stock
raising is more needed in Griggs coun-
ty. About the time we farmers could
get started in the hog business feed may
get scarce and may 60 up and pork may
take tumble. Grass and hay is cheap
and cattle and sheep do we'll but don't
get to where they ought to without
gram, they must be sold cheap. A feed.
ing steer weighing 1OO0lbs brings 500.
If above steer WAS fed 3Obu. whe.t with
other proper care would weigh 12O0lbs
and would net 4}c per lb or s54. A cow
weighing 10O0lbs can be bought for $l5.
If fed 30bu. of wheat would bring 34c
net or $42, or if our farmers would feed
one bushol Of wheat to fair fresh COW
with other proper care she would pay
the one dollar per busI,cl for the wheat
at present price of butter. We raise
other grain that is cheaper but wheat
has been sold cheap enough for feed Of
late. Charley Colson, Of Lee, told me
Csc wheat is cheap enough to feed chick.
ems when he can sell eggs for 15e per
doz. Mr.. c. is good farmer and hasn't
lost money on chickens and has fed it
when it brought S1-1S9O-91. The Coop
erstown creamery paid annually fully
$2O, 900 for cream two years with butter
cheap at that, and our crop of hay light
and no feed for the cows, and over 100
car loads of cattle shipped out of the
county and several car loads of hogs,
annually. I know it brought about
enough money to feed all in the county
for the two years and had we continued
we could have doubled, but the wheat
crop of 1891 took most all of us off the
balance wheel, which we may get sorry
for, and when you stop to think you
can't really blame us, wheat 3obu. to
the acre at soc, some pieces even more.
Now Mr. Editor you can't expect we
will milk cows, feed pigs, cattle, sheep
or chickens or don't you know how we

SO they will have to do for the short
time we use them. Mowers, rakes and
binders have all spring seats. and are,
as rule, well adjusted. About the
hardest part is to get up and hitch the
horses to them and see the men from
other states do the shocking. When
the grain is cut and shocked we go and
see A or B when he can come and do
the thrcshing. We then agree to pay

all help, board and feed, all for SO
much per bushel, and they elevate all
