vania, where he spent the winter, stock
has been fed for about five months, and
have to be fed for another month. The
pastures were all cropped close last fall;
and, even if it were otherwise and old
grass was plenty, it would do them no
good in the spring, as 1t rots, instead of
curing as it does in this part of the
world.

THE greased-llghtnlng divorce laws Of
the Dakotas are already beginning to
bear fruit. The appellate court in Chi
cago annulled a decree granted in South
Dakota, extracts from the decision being
as follows:
"When a dissatisfied husband or wife,
flying to tie uttermost part of the earth
or the republic, procurca there, upon ser>
vice by publication only, divorce from
conjugal partner never within 1000
miles of the sovereign state under whose
authority the degree was granted, the le-
galaity of the divorce thug made will de-
pend upon law and public policy.
The evidence in the case disclosed the
fact that the South Dakota court knew
nothing of the divorce proceedings here.
1t had not been Informed that the wife
had been sued for divorce and had fled
an answer. The South Dakota tribunal
did not even know that the wife was a
citizen OF this state. What the western
court would have done had 1t been ap
prised of these facts is matter of con-
jecture.''
The court holds that the wife went ia
South Dakota for the sole purpose of
procuring divorce. The proceedings in
South Dakota are characterized as fraud
upon the public, the object of which was
to evade the divorce proceedings in ILL.

TENS Of thousands Of dollars are sent
out of the state every year for hog pro-
ducts, and,for other products of the farm
which should be raised here, says the
Mandan Times. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of butter, eggs, hams,
etc., are skipped through Mandan every
year to the western states, that should
have their starting point in North
Dakota. The hard times that we have
been having should teach our people the
doctrine of protection. We must go back
to old. fashioned methods. Farmers half
aeentury ago raised pretty nearly every
Ming they ate. They must raise more,
buy. less, and sell more to their neighbors.
There is no other way for them to achieve
and maintain prosperity.
