SAYS The Grand Forks Herald:
"a Fargo dispatch says that Chair
man Stimmel, of the, Populist State
Central committee: is not feeling very
enthusiastic just now. He had issued
a circular for Populists to organize
local committees last Tuesday and
prepare for the compaign of 1896.
The returns have not been fattering
to the Populistic chairman. Organic
ations were effected in only few iso-
lated cases, and the future Of Popul-
ism in this State is darker than even
their morbid views of the ceuntry's S
condition. The party in this State is
badly disrupted, and there appears to
be disposition to abandon the old
craft and take passage in the new
silver vessel that has recently been
launched on the turbulent political
sea. The recent township elections
held in Cass County show that even
in these the party fight was carried.
Returns show that the Republicans
have been more than usually success
full"

Wheat Feeding Experience.

Since there has been considerable
inquiry concerning feeding some of
my pigs wheat since lass September,
I am willing to say what l know about
it. Last September l bought eight
hogs by the pound | thought to see
how it would pay so 1 shut them up
alone and fed them 80 pounds per
day, 10 pounds each, of crushed wheat,
soaking it in water 5 or hours before
feeding. % days after began feed
ing I sold them and found they had
gained 678 pounds. At first. their
weight was 1872 pounds, and when
sold 1890. This was selling my
wheat for about ~ cent per bushel
and as ! have my own grinder l would
nearly as soon do it as haul it to town.
If pork don't fall below four dollars
per hundred think it will pay to feed
our wheat to the hogs rather than sell
it for 50 cents per bushel. -.
l am wintering 10 pigs now. /
feed them 4 lbs. OF, each or AL
pounds per day with plenty of fresh
pumped water. They are all sizes,
from so pounds to 300 pounds. Will
average about 100 pounds. They are
not fat but in good growing trim.
They have good warm quarters which
is very necessary this season Of the
year. If you think this worth print
ing in you paper l may try it again
when I know something more on this
subject I. for one would be glad te
hear from any of the readers Of the
Farmer any hint they may throw out
concerning stock feeding or planting
of roots or seed. Some Of you might
help us.-Dakota Farmer.

An exchange gets off the follow
ing: Wanted-a friend, who will re-
cognize me when am compelled to
wear patched pants-who will take
my hand as l am sliding down hill
instead of giving me kick to hasten
my descent, who will lend me a dollar
without two dollars security; who will
come to me when I am sick. who will
pull off his coat and fight when odds
are two to one: who will talk of me
behind my back as he talks to my face.
Such friend is wanted by ten million
human beings throughout the world.
We have once or twice in our life
played the part Of such friend as
the above calls for-and now our own
pants need patches, while the other
fellow is in clover.

A MINNEApOLIS TELEGRAM of the 5tl]

A MINNEAPOLIS telegram of the 9TH
says: "Of the alleged detection Of
the populists to the Silver party, un-
der the standard Of ex- x-Attorney
General Standish of North Dakota.
s. NJ. Owen said today: "My infor-
nation is that the Populists are not
embracing the ideas of the silver
party to any extent. Of course, Stand
ish is doing much agitating, aad
naturally has some following, as any
man in such position would. but
there is more noise than, anything
else From what l learn no damage
has been done to our party in North
Dakota. As for Minnesota, l have
not heard a single member advocate
the principles of the silver party, and
l do not believe that it has any foot,
hold at all."

The Village School.

Editor Pioneer: We would be pleased
to have an opportunity through your
columns to call the attention of the Board
of Directors to the condition of the
Village School The success of the
public school is a matter Of general in
terest, particularly to the taxpayer and
while it is eminently desirable that
economy be practiced in the financial
management of the school affairs yet
economy may be carried to such an ex.
treme as to be parsimony.
The general work of the school. under
the circumstances, is quite commendable.
Prof. Mcintosh and Miss Hawker each
possess the ability and have the disposit-
ion to place the school on a high level
But they cannot do what the public ex-
poets of them unless they have the proper
facilities, necessary for the best kind of
workmanship on the part of the teacher.
The blackboards are practically useless.
They are too high to be of service in
teaching smaller pupils; there is not
enough blackboard space, such as it is.
for ordinary class room work; and they
are so torn and warped as to be unfit for
use This matter should receive the at
tention of the school board, and at once
The school furniture also requires at
tention on the part of the board. AS con-
diticns exist at present, with loose seats
and broken desks. it is difficult to pre-
serve the degree of cleanliness, neatness
and orderliness, that is desirable in and
around the school. There is not a chair
in either school room There are no
window blinds. Valuable maps and
charts, costing many times the price of
window shades. are the only things avail
able to protect the heads of the pupils
from the heat and glare of the sun as it
pours through the windows. Broken
window lights are not replaced, and there
are no storm windows. The cloak room
is unfit for use.
We must say, however. that the work
of the pupils is commendable. A spirit of
industry and application pervades the
school, and the progress made by the
pupils appear to be quite satisfactory,
ion given to these details our schools may
socn become the object of our just pride
We think the members of the boarc
should personally inspect these matter:
more frequently than is generally done
The taxpayers of the village and distric
owe it to themselves to see what value
they are getting for their money. anc
every business man also can find at leas
half hour during business hours once o.
twice in a term to step into the school
Parents, in few minutes spent in the
school room. can perform the double dut,
of informing themselves as to the schoo
surroundings and progress and givin
encouragement to the children. In thi
connection we might add that in ou
opinion, a visit to the school is usual,
made in too formal a manner. There j
no occasion for observing the formaitie
usually attendant upon the social call
such as knocking at the door, and forma
reception of the callers by the teacher a
the door, but it should be visited more a:
, visit would be paid to an ordinary plac
of business about town

THE SNAKES At THE 200.

An event has occurred at the ZOO.
Very high among marvels we rank IL
There's reptile residing there who
Accidentally swallowed his blanket.
But that story has now become old,
. And that feat surpassed by another.
There's snake still alive, we are told.
Who by accident swallowed his brother.
One would think such an odd mental At
OF abstraction-excuse the suggestion
Would be followed up tier bit
BY fit Of acute indigestion.
And, moreover, although one pretend
To be free from internal sensations.
Still rupture is apt to attend
Such a straining Of friendly relations.
But there's no such result we can ind,
Though the former has swallowed the lat
ter,
50 we say it's triumph Of mind
Or absence Of mind over matter.
Should there still at the zoo be snake
Who may wish that the record be beaten
He must swallow himself by mistake
And pretend not to know what he's eaten
&C. J. Boden in Spectator.

magnificent, is generally in silk. ex-
cept late planted. Meadows and pas

In the middle division the cool,
cloudy weather has kept the corn
growing nicely. Wheat harvest is
about over, the yield being light.
Oats are making fair crop. Millet,
sorghum, pastures, potatoes and gar
dens in fine shape. Rain is generally
needed in the northern counties.
In the western division the cool,
damp weather has brought all crops
we'll forward, greatly improving the
berry of small grains, interfering
somewhat with harvest, but giving
fine pasturage for stock.

Harvard.s ended Iron Cross.

The iron cross, FURNISHED with gold,
which is over the entrance to Harvard
college library Gore halD was at the
time of the 1745 siege of Louisburg
taken from a Catholic chapel there,
and brought to Massachusetts, as one
of the spoils of the victory. In 1877,
Justin Winsor, the librarian of the
Harvard college library, found it in
the cellar of the library and had it
gilded and placed in the position which
it now occupies. The fact that an en-
trance to one of the main buildings of
the oldest and most distinguished col
lege in once Puritan Massachusetts
should be thus adorned with a re-
ligious symbol which is usually to be
found only on Roman Catholic build
ings or on Anglican churches of an ex-
IRENE type, argues religious liberali-
ty in these days which would make
some of the anti.Catholic crusaders
who took part in the Louisburg expe-
dition lift their voices in stern rebuke
of the degeneracy of their country
men. But the world outgrows such
baneful religious and partisan ZEAL

old Leather Rottles.

Ny father possessed an old leather
bottle, shaped like cask, the purpose
of which was to carry beer to the
laborers in the fields. We had several
of these in wood, varying in size from
a quart to a gallon, but only one "a
very old one) in leather. It was, of
course, possible to drink out of them,
but the usual and fairer way was to
use tots There is at Haxey, near
here, very curious ancient leather
bottle, which was found, 1 believe
during some recent partial restoration
of the church, and is now in the pos
session of the vicar. / have not seen
it; but it has been described to me as
something like tea urn in shape, with
two handles, and large enough to con-
tain from a gallon to a gallon and a
half of liquid. It is believed to have
been used for storing the wine for the
communion; and have been told that
formerly, when wine was scarce, the
custom was to send the bottle abroad
to be replenished whenever a fresh
supply was needed. Notes and Queries.

INFANT LIFE INSURANCE.

PractIced to z Great Extent in Kansas
Said to Lead to Infant Murder.
Topeka. Kan, July 19.-There are
six agents canvassing Topeka for an
infant life insurance company. This
business is allowed by the Kansas
laws, and it is practiced in this state
to an alarming extent, and, it is
charged, opens the way to infant
murder by placing a premium on the
death of the child insured. In Topeka
there are several hundred children
under the age of IS who are insured
by their parents for sums ranging
from SIS to Sis, according to age, and
for which is paid a premium on each
policy of cents a week. The practice
is not confined to the poorer element
alone, but reaches to the middle and
better classes as we'll. State Superin-
tendent of Insurance Anthony said
that an investigation would be made,
and it is probable that the business
will be stopped if the department can
reach the companies operating here.
