The Practical Side OF Farming Pre-.
sented...P0inters for Theorists.
Editor Alert:-Some time ago an srti-
Gle appeard in The Alert. entitled "Com-
psrative Farming" giving the views of
our postmaster and neighbor, Jacob
Smith, which in the light as presented
would, 1t seems to me, give farming q
rather rosy hue. think that a careful
examination of the following statement
OF my farming operations the past year
will convince any candid thinker that
the $3.50. year that Mr.. Smith says "he
could have laid by If he had not spent
it," must have been the profits from his
mercantile establishment instead of his
farm. This would seem quite probable
considering that merchants generally,
would consider even that sum small
amount for years profits.
Like Mr.. S., l do nearly all Of the
labor on my farm myself, hiring as little
as possible, although | handle more land
tutu I1o uOcS--lIU aCEe6-dll my own oA
cept "a acres, for which I give one-i fifth
rent. 1 take S84O, the assessed valua-
ton of 32O acres of land, as a basis to
figure interest on; stock value at 546S,
they having cost me 57S5 cash. My farm
machinery and tools I value at $3.50
They consist of a horse power thresher, a
binder, press drill, gang plow and all
other tools necessary on farm, except
mower; they have cost me IN cash from
time to time during period OF II years,
$3.50.
A perusal OF what follows will convince
any one that have given the farm credit
for all there Is in it, not allowing any
thing for board Of family, but credit all
produced to farm, whether sold or con-
sumed by family, as consider that farm
ing ana keeping house are two separate
undertakings.
Following is the statement:

CHINA LOSING GROUND.
European Nations Are Rapidly Absorbing
Her Territory.

European Nations Are Rapidly Absorbing
Her Territory.
Vast and populou> as China is, the
experience of the present century
shows that she is weak for aggressive
purposes. She has not the hold on ter
ritorv adjacent 70 her borders which
she could claim Il hundred years ago.
European nations are pressing on her,
both on the south and on the north.
She has been forced TO cede portion
of her territory to England, and she
has been compelled to avail herself OF
the help of Englishmcn, both for civil
administration and for military COM
mand.
All these things, says the Edinburgh
Review. show that an expansion of the
Chinese race does not necessarily in
volve an extension of Chinese domln-
ion. On the contrary. they tend to
prove that it is the order introduced by
European administration which. leads
to the multiplication of these industri-
Gus people; and there is. therefore, at
least as much ground for saying that,
though Borneo, Sumatra and New
Guinea and the great islands of the
Eastern Archipelago may be ultimately
peopled by yellow races, they will be
governed by the white races, as for
believing that new Chinese empire
is in process Of formation; Chinese
India may, in other words, be devel-
oped in these great and fertile islands.

This amount represents the earnings

would seem needless. as any reader eau
plainly see where the North Dakota
farmer stands today. All our city friends
who have SO much advice for farmers on
matters they know little or nothing
about, can find food for reflection here.
The one who shouts, farm no more

see his pet theory carried out in this,
and the result.
The diversified farming crank finds

unquestionably is the best state in the
Union for raising wheat. Some other
farm pruducts can be raised to advaut
age, to limited extent, IN connection
with wheat but not many, as other parts
of the United States have special ad-
vantages for the production OF nearly all
other farm products which the North
Dakota farmer cannot compete with at
profit. except in that way. 1t seems like
folly to try to. compete in cattle raising
with country where cattle can Craze
the year round, and just as near market
as we are. We 1bave seen more special
cattle raisers fail here than special wheat
raisers, compared with number engaged
IN those persuits.

Additional Arrests.


The Northern Pacific burglary case
has increased in interest Ivy the arrest
last evening OF Chas Hanks and this
morning OF Clifford Brown, both thought
to be especially interested 10 the case.
A preliminary hearing was had before
Justice Bigelow this morning, and upon
aseries of objections being introduced
by Attorney Baldwin, who is defending
the prisoners. a change of venue was
taken to Justice Eager's court. Attor-
ney Baldwin objected to any one prose-
cutting the case except the states attor-
ney, and particularly to Attorney Conk'
lln as be is tha attorney OF the Northern
Pacific at this point. He also objected
to The warrant on the grounds that it did
not show that the crime was committed
IN the state or in the county; that it does
not contain the statement OF any crime
whatever and that the warrant does not
conform to section 81 of the constitution
OF the state, in that it does not conclude
with the words against the peace and
dignity Of the state of North Dakota"
These objections were all overruled by
the court.
Proceedings began before Justice
Eager this afternoon and number OF
Witnesses were examined. among which
we're Agent J. E. Squirting, Night Watch

From the knowledge l have of the situa-

Debs did much talking a week ago, but
was set right when informed of the true
situation on the road. There are yet some
labor leaders who consider there is no
weapon for labor to use but the strike.
"A better way is just what the Union
Pacific employees are now trying to utilize:
that is, the establishment of real arbitra-
tion through the courts as they now exist,
holding that labor has established rights
that courts must recognize. There will
be no strike on the Union Pacific no mat
ter how much outsiders may try to stir up
one, ut least not until the courts have
been fully tried.'
