OBITUARY.

DIED-Monday, Apr,l6, 1896 at 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon, Hamlin Eaton Brown,
aged ten months, only son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. S. Brown.
The angel Of death which has Wis
tied the city SO often of late has come
again into our midst and this time it
has taken very dear member of the
family of the senior editor of this
paper.
About the middle of January the
little child was taken seriously ill
with pneumonia. Skillful medical
assistance and careful nursing
brought him through this but it was
Immediately followed by a brain af-
fection, chronic menengitis, from the
effects of which he has been slowly
failing and which was the immediate
cause Of his death last Monday. The
funeral was held at the residence
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.
A couple Of touching duets were sung
by Mrs. Boardman and Miss Helen
Harris and short but beautiful
funeral service was conducted by the
Rev. G. S. Vincent. The body was
laid at rest in the Oakes cemetery.
Many kind friends assisted, by
handsome floral contributions and
expressions of sympathy, to lessen
the feeling Of loss and loneliness ex-
perienced by the bereaved family.
The little one had been on earth only
ten short months but only those who
have loved and parted with such an
one can know how great the loss can
seem.

The Oakes creamery is running
along in good shape and the quantity
is increasing daily. Twenty one
hundred pounds were taken in We'd
Desday morning and it is estimated
that this will increase TO 1000 pounds
by next week, AS routes have not
yet been fully established it is not
expected that they will receive this
full amount of milk tributary to this
creamery until the roads and weather
improve. Everything is running
smoothly at the manufactory and
new improvements are in contempla-
tion by the manager. Mr.. Mayhem.

the market just right for a. prime
article of seed and command good
price.
The Jewell nursery, a Minnesota
enterprise, has leased five acres of us,
and will at once begin to plant about
every variety of fo rest, ornamental;
fruit and shade tree known to the
northwest. The result of this cult
walton and experiment are likely to
be of the greatest value to the state
and shall be greatly disappointed
if the seasons work in this direction
does not create the liveliest interest.
We have other projects of some
what similar character which we
hope to bring to focus without Sc
rious loss of time"

I,1O0 Dunkards dropped down in a
bunch lately in Bottineau, Ramsey.
and adjoining counties i'll North
Dakota. They occupied IL sleeping
cars, and two freight trains of 80
cars each. AS the Dunkards are an
energetic, thrifty, law abiding people,
as class, North Dakota will be much
benefited by the settlement of this
colony in our state. North Dakota
is receiving quite large immigra-
ton this spring who ara attracted
by the many advantages which our
state offers. Other Dunkards will
follow this COLONY
The funeral of Elgen r. the little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Weston
was held last Friday afternoon. The
death of the little one occurred after
but very short illness with scarlet
fever. 1t was only the Sunday be-
fore that it was noticed that the
child was at all unwell and then it
played about as usual the greater
part of the day. On Monday and
Tuesday it grew rapidly worse and
passed quietly away on Thursday at
4:3O p. m. Little Eigen would have
been three years old next July and
was very bright and attractive child
and having reached that age when
they notice and talk brightly and
innocently, it makes it doubly hard
for the parents, especially as they
were unprepared for such a change
on account of the suddenness of the
death.
Old MIR. Winter returned this week
and quietly esconsed himself square

MILLINERY.

Always has been one of the lea d.
ing departments and this season is
no exception. In fact it shows our
steady growth in this department as
well as all others. Miss Sloan will
again have charge of this depart
meut which is ample guarantee that
all who purchase their head gear
from us will be fitted out in perfect
and satisfactory manner.
The styles this spring are univer-
sally admired.
What has been heretofore tedi-
GUS task to find hat to please is now
only a pleasure to purchase and at
prices within the reach of all.
The Belle of New York, May
Queen, Diamond, and Tam O'Shanter
are some Of the leading shapes for
the coming season. Tams are popu-
lar as ever, as well as the lively little
poem after which they we're named
is positive proof Of their popularity.
Don't fail to attend our Grand
Opening on May 1st.
Our city is rather small to attempt
millinery opening but we are
bound to keep pace with the times,
and all who favor us with visit will
surely be we'll paid for their trouble.
Do not forget the day and date,
In case of bad weather we will con-
ti,lue tho following day.

seemed thoroughly contented. Snow
fell very easily several days with one
or two intermissions when there was
dished up moisture in the form Of
rain, At this time last year seeding
was well under way. Although It
will be several days later this year
the North Dakota agrioulturlst is
making active preparations for tho
hour OF seed time. Tools are being
overhauled and horses are being we'll
fed preparatory to entering a hard
campaign so that when it does open
the work may go forward with full
speed. The outlook for good crops
was never brighter than this spring.
With all the rains and snow falls it is
impossible to imagine more favorable
conditions for the spring opening aud
with timely precipitations of moist
ure hereafter the heart of the North
Dakota farmer will be light and his
grain heavy and many bushels of it.
1t is reported that Rev. Erick Thu

glowing accounts OF the Northwest
Territory is now writing to his init
mate friends here asking for little

in Norway and considerable money
raised for that purpose. Largely on
the strength of his representations of
the country two of Norway's settlers,
Jake Elness and o. Ravensburg

profit by the experience of the hun
dreds who have gone into that coun-
try and left it again or are writing to
friends for help to get out.

The most careful, thresh and
grind the grain for animals, as a
matter of convenience rather than
because of the hardness Of the grain,
the seed being very small may es-
cape mastication and not digest.
The ground grain also makes very
palatable flour ard meal for the ia
bic, while the nstural seed is cooked
and served like rice.
Mr.. Hutchinson, Of Kansas, an ex-
tentive and experienced grower Of
Katfir corn, presented paper to the
State Board of Agriculture at its
last meeting in January, in which he
he says :"Those who have tried it
once like it, those who have tried it
two years praise it, those who have
tried it three to five years pity your
ignorance if you have never found
out about it, and the men who have
had the full courage of their convict
ions and pushed the business have
got their eyes open to its possibili-
ties. They see money and success
within their reacE4 and you can find
some who do not care to advertise
their discovery.
Kaffir corn fodder waits for the
farmer. The seed get perfectly ripe
early in the fall and the stalks and
leaves stay perfectly green until
frost comes. If it rains it is all right,
the seeds take no harm: if it is dry
it simply stands still and keeps
green like an evergreen tree. Cut
off the seeds and it makes no diffe-
renee. The field is still green when
nothing else is green. 1t STAYS when
everything else goes. 1t is a hope
aud an aspiration to the farmer.
People have learned from past ex.
perience that they must have feed
for cattle during storms and when
snow covers the ground. Cattle will
live Oh this fodder corn and keep up
in fact they will make gain during
the winter.
Farmers who have tried everything
that could be suggested are generally
adopting the Katfir corn as the best
fodder plant they can get"
Fertility of soil determines the dis
tanCe between Nils anu rows aul
the amount of seed to be used. Fo
grain on good land SOW in row:
three feet apart, three to five pounds
of seeds to acre; for fodder SOW one,
half to one bushel broadcast in drills
and cut stalks when the first seet
plumes come into bloom. II eli
mates like Central Kansas the secont
growth springing from the root
will yet mature full crop of grain
and second crop of forage belor
the middle of October.
Vaughan's seed stores. Chicag
and New York, are distributing tn
seed for this valuable plant this sea
sou. Write them for catalogue ant
prices of seed of every description.
