WORK OF AN INCENDIARY
OTTO wALL1N RESIDENCE BURNED

OTTO WALLIN RESIDENCE BURNED.
By an lncendiary's bad work
about 2 O'Clock Friday morning
one of the neatest residence
dwellings in Washburn, was
burned, together with most of
the household effects of it's late
occupants
The dwelling destroyed is here
known as the Otto Wallin resi-
dence and wss built by it's own
er about six years ago. Tie
dwelling has been occupied the
past year by Rev. H. j. Spe]ker
and'family. While suburan, the
dwelling was a neat one, con.
tanning six rooms in all. The
location was picturesque.
Since the death of their child
under the unfortunate circum-
stances already we'll known,the
place has been occupied but by
their two selves. On Wednes-
day morning Rev. Spelker went
down to Bismarck leaving his
wife and her guest of a few
days-Mrs. Charles Billows, of
Turtle Lake-to await his re-
turn. About half past 12 O'Clock
the ladies heard some one at the
window, the hastily arose and
grasping a rusted revolver near
by and in attempting to use it,
the intruder took alarm and fed,
not, however, before the ladies
recognized him and called his
name-Fred Bixby. They told
him they would attend to his
case when daylight came.
After watching him disappear
in the direction of his quarters
at McGinley's place, the ladies
again retired to bed. About 2
O'Clock Mrs. Spelker awoke
from a strong smell of burning
kerocene, and arose to find the
outshed attached to the dwell
ing, aflame. Mrs. Billows went
out to give the alarrn-Mrs. S.
to save what she could of fher
household objects and furniture.
A crowd collected but little
could be done. On the state
ment of the two ladiAs-Bixby
who was among the crowd
watching the fire arrested
and taken to Jail
Bixby had a hearing before
Justice Ranard, Friiar after
noon at 4 o'clock. but no deci-
sion reached as we go to press.

Cooperation in Agriculture,

The farmers comparative isolation
has thus far kept him and his neigh
bors mile apart in business and So
cial relations as well as in location Of
dwelling place, and this fact has kept
him thinking that cooperation with his
fellow craftsman is impracticable as
well as undesirable. And yet, every day
Of his life, he sees practical illustra-
tions of the cooperative principle-the
work Of cooperation actually going on
within range OF his personal view.
Whereas once he cut his grain alone
with a sickle and threshed. it with
fail, now one machine cuts as much as
fifteen men did then, and single sep
arator threshes for a. whole township.
When he hauls load Of grain to the
railway station, or loads bunch of
cattle, he sees others Of his kind doing
the same thing; then waiting an hour,
he sees train load of farm produce on
It's way to market. And IL he goes to
one of the great cities he may witness
the loading OF an ocean steamer with
grain for Europe or South Africa grain
brought from dozen States.
He sees cooperation In his family,
on his farm, in the village, in the city
everywhere.
What the farmers now need most to
know is how to unite with their fellow
farmers in the business of cooperative
agriculture. They are learning how to
trade at cooperative stores; they are
studying cooperative insurance and
transportation; let them study coop
eratlve farming.
The Advocate and news., 1897-12-22
Ooburn on the Hog.

Mr.. Secretary Coburn, in his address
at the Newton farmers institute,
touched upon the hog, as the following
extracts will show:
1T has been said that In the Ameri-
can hog we have an automatic COM
bined machine for reducing the bulk
in corn and enhancing It's value A
machine that feeds itself; puts ten
bushels of corn into less space than
a bushel measure, and in so doing quad
ruples the value OF the grain. Corn
loaned to a well-bred hog is cash at
big interest A good brood SOW Is an
incarnation of safe Investments sort
Of bucolic bond, the coupons Of which
materialize in big litters of pigs, con-
vertible into cash ON demand. Harvest
ers, combined mowers and reapers,
when compared with the complicated
and multiform machinery which is
wrapped up In the bTistly integuments
of healthy, well-bred pig, are insig-
niflcant inventions.
Nowhere else as in this broad CEN
trail basin Of southern North America,
filled with the silt OF the centuries, does
corn grow in such opulence. Where this
cereal most abounds, there the pig -four
ishes and wakes fat. He sometimes
squeals, but like Jeshuron Of old, who
waxed fat, he never kicks. A region
of monopoly Of these can have all the
other good things added unto 1t and
there the seat Of future empire will be
established, around and from which,
radiating afar, will be civilization and
learning; comfort, health and wealth,
through rightly-directed industry; peace
