Comparative Farming.

Jacob Smith, the Montpelier merchant,
postmaster and farmer, was selling bis
last falls wheat crop Tuesday. He received
80 cents for 1t, and ut one time could
have obtained 55 cents. As to farming
Mr.. Smith says he does not know where
he could 60 now to improve the advant-
ages q farmer has right here in North
Dakota. In the older states the farmers
have to fertllize and use a good part of
other land for pasture and have to raise
or buy all the feed for their stock. Here
the hay is free for the cutting of 1t, and
pasture during the season is also free for
the herding of the stock. Free pastur-
age and Lay for putting it up, IS where
the Jim river valley farmer has big
advantage over the eastern man. Land
is cheap also, and two acres here can be
worked as easily as one in the states
where it is cut Up in small patches by
fences. Short turns there and fencing
lake time and ground. Here the land
works easy and with good machinery
| about twice the acreage in actual crops
can be put in and cared for, per man. as
in the older states. This is another big
gain. In eastern states farmer by his
own labor raises, perhaps, 300 bushels Of
wheat. That would be considered very
little for a farmer here. Mr.. Smith has
about 100 acres 10 cultivation. which he
works himself, except in harvest when he
employs man or two. These he man
ages to pay for by turning other work
for nelghbors. 1T takes close figuring

Profitable Cows.

Some of the farmers around Oakes are
making the discovery that a few COWS
can easily be made to furnish all the
groceries used in the family so that the
profits from grain raising, when there are
any, are almost clear gain, says the Re
publican. Thos. Hady. living southeast
of Oakes, has kept an account OF the
receipts from his sales OF butter and in
1892 he sold 800 worth OF butter from
six COWS, while last year four cows paid
him over $40. Why cant every farmer

yesterday was that of H. A. Owen, ap-

the case is remarkable and said to be

in the trial OF the case, the appellee
was given judgment. At subsequent
term of court the judgment was multi

in dispute. The supreme court affirms
the finding of the district court as to

district court establishing lien be
vacated.
