UNRELIyBLE FIGURES.

The census bureau of the interior
department sends the governor gan
interesting list of the Valuations of
lands in North Dakota, by counties,
for the census year 1890. The list
contains an estimate of the true
value of the real estate III North
Dakota, as furnished the census
bureau by persons who are compe-
tent to Judge. 1t also contains a list
of the assessed values of real proper
ty, and comparison of the two
would be interesting if they gave
any evidence of being Of value. But
they are, like every other compila-
ton that eminated from the Repub-
lican census manipulators, practical
~ worthless. Only the most casual
glance is necessary to CONVINCE one
of that fact.
In but one particular do they seem
to strike an estimate that is even
reasonable their estimate Of the
true value of the real estate Of Cass
county, which is placed at the head
of the list with real value of $l6,-
100000 as against an assessed value
of over Sc, 100000.
Coming to Barnes county we find
an assessed value of only $3,ooo,goo
turned IN as having real value of
over $l2, 100000, while an assessed
value Of 81, 100000 in Grand Forks
county is only given real value Of
100000, comparison, as
against Barnes county, that is ridic.
ulous. Dickey county, with all
assessed value of So, o,ooO.is given
real value Of $6,2oo,ooo, while
Pembina county, one Of the richest
counties in the state, with an, as
sessed valuation Of almost $4,000
600 is given real value of but; &c..
100000. Further comparisons are
not necessary-the figures are all OF
a piece, mere guess work, which is
about all there is to most ofp the
census statistics prepared. by the

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.


That the farmers of North Dakota
must diversity their crops has been
SO often andfso thoroughly advo-
Gated that there is nothing new to
be said on the subject. 1t is prac-
tically settled that farmer who
does not try to raise his own pork,
and keep cows and poultry, is be-
hind the times, and is almost certain
to fail. The farmer can no longer
depend wholly upon wheat. Even
an enormous yield of this cereal
with the market price less than
fifty cents a bushel does not pay
and a small crop at the present
price is absolutely ruinous. The
farmers should endeavor to
supply the wants Of his family from
something except wheat. Many far
mers are now doing this, and many
more should begin to do it. But the
average farmer must do more than
this. He must raise something
that will bring him cash above the
bare necessities of living, and very
important and practical problem for
him to solve this time of the year is
what crop will be best for this pur-
pose. 1t has been suggested that
fax promises the best and surest re-
turns. The demand of fax for
seed is said to be almost unprece-
dented, and the price has gone up
in consequence. The Minneapolis
quotation the first of the month was
$l.3s, At this price ten bushels of
fax per acre will pay better than
thirty bushels of wheat. There are
of course some drawbacks to flax
growing. 1t deteriorates the value
of the land rapidly and wild mustard
is frequently found in connection
with it. But in spite of these
things, would it not be well for
our farmers to give this subject a
careful examination? There is no
better time in the year for a far
mer to lay his plans, and it is
hoped that the problem of the
best paying crop will be fully
solved before the FLOWERS bloom
in the spring''-Rolla Times.

VARIETIES OF FLAX.

Belgian flax was grown at Fargo
and at Power. 1t stood thirty.fve
to forty inches tall and yielded
about $500 pounds of unthreshed
straw per acre. A small plot was
grown for fibre. 1t grew forty-three
inches tall on the average, and matte
most excellent, fine. long linen fibre.
In years of not too great drought
this soil will raise most excellent
fibre flax. When a machine has
been perfected which will rapidly
and economically thresh flax without
tearing the fibre into pieces, as does
the ordinary spike cylinder machine,
it will pay o. farmers to raise flax
for both fibre and seed. Our state
can then produce at home all needed
binding twine, coarse cordage and
also common grades of linen, as
crash. The writer's acquaintance
with the efforts of several inventors
and enterprising manufacturing firms
who are now building such machines
leads to the belief that we will soon
have fax threshing machine which
will provide straw for twine, ropes,
etc., cheaper than it can now be pro-
duced, and that the farmer will get
large enough price for fax straw
to pay him to raise more of this crop
for seed and fibre. That flax brings
mustard into the land is not true if
due care be taken to get seed raised
on land free of that foul weed. That
fax is harder on land than is wheat
is much over-estimated, if not en-.
tirely false theory, except that flax
is not good to precede fax. The
so-called Russian or Belgian seed is
usually preferable to sow both for
seed and for seed and fibre or fol
fibre alone, than seed from flax not
recently imported. White blossomed
Dutch flax is not SO large yielde1

Iu a newsy letter from Wash

about offices reminds me that
Senator Bidlake is now in the city
awaiting his appointment, that
was promised him in person, by
Cleveland some months ago. He
is booked for the place made va
cant-and still vacant by John

me the Baranquilla mission is a
good one, barring the climate.
and that Nickeus made lot of
money out of it--sent his children
abroad to be educated, gathered
together from $4,000 to $1,000
and is now able to go to Califor-

count of Baranquilla. It is only
a question of time. Bidlake will
get the place. He wanted Brazil

DOES ARmING PAY?

Editor URlER-DEMOCRAT;-
SAY M1sTER:-Our little unpreten-
tious hamlet is recognizing the bene-
tit of diversified farming. Some of the
more enterprising citizens have launch
ed into the pork husbandry. But the
s'moss-backs" seem to have Job-like
scourge hanging over them. No SOON
er had they embarked in the swinish
industry than several porker's eyes be-
came dimned. TO counteract the
baneful effect of the impressionless op-
tic nerve it was deemed expedient to
procure quantity of eyewater of the
brand known as RED Eye" The hog
physicians have resorted to new mode
of treatment by which the patients vi
sitors must partake of the medicines.
In human medicine such a departure
would tend to diminish the visitors of
the afflicted, but the novelty of the new
tangled idea in therapeutics, together
with the nature Of those stomachs
which renders the pig remedies agree
able. has secured the roofing brute from
lonesomeness. Blindness having been
provided for another obstacles presents
itself which will be more difficult to
obviate. One of our dispensaries in
those palliative drugs has been recently
entered by a pair of transient sports

The difference between the pre-
sent state administration and the
past republican administrations
can best be seen in the handling of
the states finances. In order to
make both ends meet the republi-
cans had to issue bonds up to the
full debt limit. This administra-
tion received $l25, 900 less money
from taxes, and had to pay $685.
600 interest on the bonds issued
by the republicans, and yet they
are only three months in arrears in
the payment of bills against the
state, and it is expected that this
year the receipts will equal the ex-
penditure. This is an economical
a1 ministration-there,s the differ
