The state board Of equalization was in
session at Pierre last week and reports
come from there that there is a strong
probability OF the board boosting the
real estate assessment clear out of sight,

A correspondent OF the Dakota Farmer
says: II often picket horses by a for
ward leg, buckling a leather strap
around just above the foot to fasten the
picket rope to. l lead them forward
carefully at first to teach them that they
are fastened and have no trouble, after
wards. They never get tangled in the
picket-rope. A rope without II leather
strap is often very hard to unfasten, es-
pecially when wet. The strap may al.
ways be easily u%nbucklel.
A reporter on a newspaper dreamed
the other night that the edito: decided
to get out a paper for once in his life
that was entirely satisfactory to all, says
an exchange. Every item was carried to
different houses and If any objections
we're made, it was killed. At four
o'clock the paper went to press as usual,
and when the patrons unfolded it they
found only a blank sheet. The editor
slept sweetly that night, realizing that
he had printed nothing to offend any
body and that he was for once entirely
satisfactory.

a few nights ago who had wandered
away from home in his tight clothes

So there isn't one in the house,
Creamery checks for July milk ar
now ready-three days ahead OF tim
this month. The payment is not quit
so good as last month, due in part t
a lower price for butter during July, en-
largely to milk less rich in butter-fa
and a corresponding poorer yield fror

600 pounds more milk in July than il
, June, but made 2l2 pounds lees butter
showing that the average test was no
as good. As a cold lard fact, not hal
the milk received at the factory durin,

and we think they will have to go n goo,
ways to find one paying as much.
