North and South Road.

If the 500 road does not extend to Bis

sour! slope will make overures to General
W. d. Washburn for q continuation of his
road north from Washburn to Bismarck.
south to- Aberdeen along the Old survey
made some time ago from. Bismarck to
that place, there to connect with the Mil
wnukee road or one of the three other
roads there for the twin cities. This would
give the Missouri slope a competitive line
to the twin Cities shorter than the present
line. and afford another outlet for the IN
creasiug trade D the Missouri slope.
With the present increase in settlement of
the lands in Burleigh and Mclean coun-
ties. the wheat shipments each fall will
soon be measured III millions Of bushels.
This will be an important factor of freight
for north and south road In addition
to this, it is probable that one of the con-
xartins plants for the new Ignite fuel
process Will be establ ished in northern
Bnrleigh county and ths will be another
important fenture for the consideration of
road. ferry across the river at Wash
t,nru will also tap the cattle country west
of the river and afford another item of
freight of no. small Significance. With the
500 road extended to Bismarck from
Braddock. as it seems probable will be
done next year. there would be p line from
the Missoari river south to the twin cities.
II is understood that the American stock
holders of the 500 are in favor of the ex-
tension, while the Canadian stockholders
and directors oppose it, The. city has
granted right of way. contingent upon
com pletion of the road by December l,
1900 II the road is not extended by that

Abou "BilI" Bryan.

Paraphrase on Leigh Hunts "Abou Ben Ad-
hem" Contributed.
Abou "Bill" Bryan, may his tribe decrease,
Awoke one night from deep dream of peace,
And seated in the moonlight in his room,
Making it bright and silverlike in gloom,
He saw an angel writing in book of gold.
Exceeding "gall'' had made "Bill' Bryan bold
And to the presence in his room he said,
what writest thou?" the vision raised its
head,
And with look of what he might expect,
Answered their names who'll get it in the
neck"
"''And am ?" asked Abou, 81 don't know"
Replied the Angel. Abou spake more low
But cheerily still and said, 81 pray you sir
write me as one not liable to err"
The angel wrote and vanished. The next night
1t came again in all the white November light,
And showed the names of those knocked "gally-
west"
And 10, "Bnl" Bryan's name led all the rest.

PIG-PEN POINTERS.

A sour swill is often the
cause of scours i'll pigs.
Does the SOW have to climb a
steep plank to get to her pen?
Small, unsuitable cooked pota-
toes are good for the logs; mix
with skim-lnilk and little corn
meal.
Lice can be driven from hogs
by taking a paint brush and
with it applying kerosene or
fish oil.
Don't forget to see that the
brood sows have plenty of clean
waite to drink while they are
raising their pigs.
Don't expect a clover field
pastured by pigs to produce hay
the next season. Too many
roots will be rooted out and
eaten.
The first time a pig follows
it's dam from the nest, let it see
grass in its walk and have it
before it as soon as it will eat.
Pigs need no litter for a bed
in summer. After the ground is
warm a dry knoll is better than
straw. A clover field is the best
pasture.
AS pigs increase in age it may
be we'll to increase slightly the
proportion of corn in order to
