Milking Reindeex.

The process of milking herd Of rein
deer is singular, and we have often
watched it with interest especially when
after long tramp across the fields we
looked forward to share Of it ourselves.
Attended by the sharp n66AI apland
dogs, the herd appears, 6enbers
packed closely together and forming a
compact mass, in which the horns are
prominent feature. AS they approach
nearer, one hears grunting exactly like
swine, and a curious, cracking sound,
produced by the contact of innumerable
horns and limbs They are then driven
into an inclosure, each animal is lassoed
in it's turn over the horns and dragged
up to an erection in the middle, where
it is MIXED The quantity afforded by
each is only about as much as would
ill claret glass, but the milk is ex-
tremely rich and nourishing.-Black

That known as the Crystal island is
one of the small islands Of which so
many are dotted about in the Pacific
ocean. II received its name owing to
its being one mass Of beautiful crystal
lied carbonate of lime. One Of the most
remarkable features Of the Pacific ocean,
and one that distinguishes it from every
other, is the vast assemblage of small
islands with which, on the map, it ap-
pears to be crowded, particularly in the
portion situated between the tropics.
These islands are of three distinct forms
the coral, the crystal and the volcan-
ic. Of these the first formation greatly
predominates, out the largest islands
are of the last description. Of the crys-
tai formation Crystal island is one of
the few specimens known. There is a
mountain known as Crystal hill on the
coast of the Caspian near Baku. It is
described as sparkling like huge dia-
mond, on account of the sea glass and
crystals with which it abounds. Brook

Chairman KiAf has issued a call
for an Independent Prohibition con-
vention to be held at Fargo, N. D.,
on July 31st, 1894, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for state
officers to be supported at the polls
at the next election. The object of
said convention being to endorse the
nominees of the other parties who
are in favor and will use their efforts
for the retention of our state consti-
tuition prohibiting the sale and man
ufacture of intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes and are opposed
to the repeal Of the penalty clause OF
the prohibitory law as embodied now
in our statute law, and the rigid en-
torcement of the same. If the other
parties do not nominate such men
this convention will place men in
nomination in accord with these
ideas.

Parties in this neighborhood have
received letters from Hon. ]. M.
Devine, Of LaMoure county, stating
that he will not be candidate for
superintendent of public instruction,
and that he is in favor of Miss Emma
Bates for that position. Miss Bates
candidacy is growing every day and
now that Mr.. Devine is not a candi-
date, it looks as if the lady would
have clear field for the nomination
in the republican convention, and it
she is nominated she will be elected.
Letters have been received from
nine different county superintendents
from different counties, and all are
IN favor of Miss Bates and the coun
ties will in all probability send dele
cations in her favor to the state con-
vention. Steele county holds its
convention to-day and Griggs county

The income of every North Dako

The income of every North Dako-
ia farmer can be materially increased
by attention to poultry. The returns
may not be on a grand scale but they
are sure. The state is a natural
poultry yard, prairie chickens finding
in the native grains, seeds and
insects abundant food. Domestic
fowls of all kinds almost raise them
selves, on the prairie farm. Many
families during the close times cf the
past few years have greatly helped
their income by selling poultry,
butter and eggs, and in numerous
instances have given up wheat raising
entirely depending on the small pro-
duce of the farm for living.
Itis estimated by the census that
in 1889 there were nearly 2S6,ooo, :
600 fowls of all kinds in this country
the greatest increase coming from
the state of Mississippi. The in
crease in production of eggs was 7o
per cent. Poultry supplies the
cheapest and most varied food a
civilized community can produce
and its profits are bound to attract
the attention of men who have here
tofore regarded the business as to
small to engage in.-Alert.

The Fargo Sun in commenting on
School elections says that in only
two counties were party lines drawn
and Dickey counties, and
that the fight was between repub-
licans and populists and the latter
won in both counties. The Sun, in
its desire to set itself up as a labor
organ, does not hesitate to garble up
matters a little when it sees an oppor-
tunity. The fight in Griggs county
was not between populists and repub-
licans, neither was it a populist
victory, although we admit Griggs
county is populist. The indepen-

For several long, tiresome months
the people of these United States
have been waiting for our national
senate to do something. This earnest
waiting has been born by the people
with a patience bordering on mar
tyrdom and unless the people storm
the capitol and shoot the whole gang
of senators they will have to prolong
this martyrdom. The United States
senate is about as useless thing as
is the English house of lords and
ought to be wiped out. If this same
senate would pass a bill letting the
people elect their senators by the
direct vote of the people, senators
could and would be elected who
would do something besides monkey
with sugar trusts. The utter disre-
gard for the work demanded of them
by the people is exciting the people
more and more every day, and the
United States senate today is respon.
sible for considerable of the labor
troubles that are agitating the public
