Taking Newspaper Advicc.-A North
Dakota farmer who read in the papers
the constant advice to northwestern
farmers to diversity their crops and
not run down the prices by raising
nothing but wheat took the counsel.
lie put some of his land into corn and
raised Il fine crop-none bctter-but he
had to pay Il high price 10 laborers
who knew nothing Of any crop but
wheat, and when he had finally har-
vested the golden ears and stored
them away In his barns he discovered
that ii would have been cheaper for
him to buy Iowa corn as it came in
ut the railway station.
Then he tried potatoes. As before,
there was Il grand crop. The price Of
potatoes In St Paul was good that year.
and he thought now he had struck IT,
He went into the little grocery and
post0iiice town TO get men TO come
and dig the potatoes when at last these
were ready for market. Plenty OF idle
fellows were hanging about the gro
cery-Lumbers Of men. He invited
them 10 come home with him and have
n potato digging picnic at 80 much Il
day and found. Would they come Z
Not one. They would work at wheat
thrashing. That was in their rut, di.
rectly under their stupid noses They
had done that all their lives and were
used to it; but dig potatoes? No. They
vowed by all the dignity Of free-born
agricultural labor that they would not,
and they did not. The potato froze In
the ground, and the farmer went back
to wheat raising. The story shows that
when "A newspaper advises farmer
to adopt diversified agriculture 1t
should also advise him how TO raise
a crop Of laborers VINO will harvest his
diversified products.

Small Fruit Farming.--To make Il
specially Of small fruits Is TO use less
land, give the best Of cultivation, and
apply manure and fertilizers literally.
Instances have been known where as
much as $1,000 per acre have been Sc
cured from one acre Of strawberries,
but such results are an exception. In
this section the experienced growers
do not wait until the season opens,
but begin 10 work as soon as the con-
dition Of the ground permits. II ma
nure is TO be used, nothing that is
coarse is placed on the ground, only
the finest and most perfectly rottcd
material being used. III fertilizers are
rcsorted 10 they are used before the
young plants begin 10 shoot out. and,
If possible, the rows are cultivated, the

HIGH TIMES IN ALARAnA,

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. l.-KoIb has
arrived here and says that he will be sworn
in this afternoon. There is grave appre-
hension of trouble. The advance guard
of Kolbites arrived last night. ana they
arc talking very bitterly to-day. The
Kolbite members of the Legislature now
admit a possible conflict and last night
held caucus at which they passed strong
resolutions disclalming any responsibility
for any lawlessnsss that may occur,
There 10 fear that some crank, laboring
under excitement, may attempt to assassi-
nate Oates or Jones, and extra preca dtions
will be taken to protect both.
A prominent leader of the Populists
Hon. Frank Baltzel. editor of the Alliance
Herald, and who is in position to speak
for Kolb, said to-day that he did not ex-
pect any overt acts or revolutionary
course by the Peopls's party followers for
t..e reason that the party has spoken
q gainst it and everything uufavorabe for
such a movement. Several ,honsand
militiamsn are here. Armed Kolbites are
pouring INTO sowa, and it vii! 90 wonder
if blood is not shed. Kelb's plansy. not
be made known until afternoon.

A Plea For the Preservation of Wild Eirds

"A Plea For the Preservation of Wild Eirtls
and Game of North Dakota.
There is nos season passes over but,
can see and hear of the indescriminate
destruction of all classes Of gamd, and no
one seems to lift their voice against it. 1
cannot designate man who will shoot
game during the close season sports
man, neither cen classify him
as man of very humane principles,
but such there are in North Dakota.
Where is the spos, shooting prairie
chickens as they droop '..e.ir covering
wings in the leaaess boughs of a tree,
seeking what shelter they can find from
the wintery winds. till some pot hunter
brings his murder aiming eye" to bear
an them and down they fail, NO more to
rise to grace Our fertile plains.
At the early dawn of another year we wilI
hayc assembled at the capita! city all the
men of light ana aiding from every
corner of the state. Surely out of all tho
members some one will come forward and
frame a proper hill for the protection OF
game OF every desc ption. Also levy Il
tax of five dollars upon every person who
carries and uses gun or other engine of
destruction. The tax thus produced would
employ suitable number of game
wardens for each county and pay them
reasonable remuneration for their services.

the land allotments to the Indlans this

SIN the light of experience. and consid-

with the secretary of the interior in the
opinion that when allotments are made
the balance of reservations land remaining
after Yllot1uent, instead of being bought
by<he government from rhe Indians and
open for settlement with such scandals
and nnfair practices as seem Unavoidable

About Black Lies,

/ The Reporter Journal of Nov Both, cop

county auditor of this county and which
was published in Reporter Journal i'll Its

136 and J. S. Murphy 41s making total
of 554 votes. The total vote cast for the
Office of Sheriff was 592 or 3S more than

The above statement is in direct line,
with the many others he made both before

skeptically inclined.
In those returns published by himself
we find that Herman Hanson secured 1SG.

total of 6O4. votes cast for Representative.

Murphy will shortly be on the outlook for
a new liar. We freely admit that we have
not been so unfortunate as to have had
our schooling under Johnson's chic ftain
nor did We expect when making state
ment taken wholly from the Reporter
Journal that the editor there would shout
liar. This is evidence that at least one
Murphyite has not paid strict attention
to the teaching of his chieftain. 1t seems
to be an easy thing for the Editor of the
Reporter Journal to howl liar at every
thing which does not fit in his small
groove, we h! v. known men before who
could be bought sold and traded around
