Nearly every one who could get away

are uniformly that plenty OF the birds
we're killed. The bags ranged from 10
or 20 up to so and 60 or more. Several
funny incidents are reported ss usual
and more will no doubt be disclosed
later on. The weather for the opening
of the season was ideal for sportsmen-
cool with a rain the night before and q
gentle wind. The prairles never looked
more attractive. The birds are over
half grown and many covies found were
very large showing the birds came
through the season in good shape.
A number OF fine dogs are reported
as owned by city sports. The number
OF good dogs IS increasing here fast and
soon every one who loves the recreation
will or can secure fairly good dog with
little expense aod care in breaking.
The birds are still eating grasshoppers
but are working into the wheat stubble

store and office there will soon be q

that business house will select boy in
whom they have confidence. When
they want one of these boys they will
not select him fer his ability to talk

cites, or tap a beer keg. These men
may have little to say, and some may
have few OF these habits themselves,
but they are looking for boys who are as
near gentlemen in every sense Of the
word as they can find, and they are able
to give you the character Of every boy
in town. They are not looking for row.

Johnny's S Crushes.

The Melbourne, Australia, Table Talk

S. Consul General. Most Of the distin-
guished people Of the city, including the
foreign officials, the Spanish consul,
their wives and daughters ia swell attire

pleasing personality of the host added
to the popularity OF the stars and stripes
in that far off country made the event
doubly interesting. The refreshments
we're ample and the American flaglets
decorated nearly every callers coat
while the girls wore the emb]ems in pro-

Col. Bray seems to have struck q soft
spot IN the hsarts of the Melbourne
girls. Table Talk says:
"What love be is!' The belle
sighed. "And he really has stacks Of
money!" she queried. He has, was the
response. And the fair one gave final
touch to the stsr-snd.strlpe badge on
the flap OF her coat, before passing on
to give her dainty hand to the handsome
Consul.
"No one need be alarmed in the least
about Mr.. Bray at present. l have
been watching him." said the sweet
blue.eyed caller, "ADd be lends the
same smiling countanoe on everyone

A New Tanning Mill.

A tanning mill Is being exhibited by
P. D. Walsh state agent for the ma
chine, at the warehouse Of Haas &
Blewett which does good work. It
separates completely, wheat, oats, flax,
timothy and clover seed leaving each in
clean condition and doing the work
very rapidly. 1t leaves first and &C.
oond grade of wheat, with screenings
separate and is one of the most useful
of the seed cleaning inventions yet seen.
1t is claimed that farmers who have
sowed only the largest wheat berries in
years past find that nearly all the stools
yield as we'll as the mother stool, and
from to 10 bushels more yield per acre
is secured. While the small berries in
dirty seed, will sprout, yet the stools do
not stand the grief or hard weather that
the stools from plump clean wheat do.
The latter gives the plant strength
that inferior seed cannot inpart The
saving in dockaRe is very large. Farm
ers who have seen the mill pronounce 1t
the best they have ever seen for clean
ing seed grain and say if seed was gen.
orally used which was as clean as that
left by the mill the quality and yield of
the crop could not but be greatly im-
proved.

Struck Water.

At depth Of about 1850 feet water
has been struck in drilling the city arte-
sian we'll. The flow is not very strong
but the water gushes in a small stream
over the top OF the pipe. The general
opinion is that the drill struck the same
vein rs that struck when drilling the old
we'll some years ago and at about the
same depth. The stream was not con-
sidered strong enough and the drill was
forced through the vein. Unless good
strong flow Is secured the drilling will
be continued to the depth OF the old
old we'll or deeper if such thing il
necessary and possible.
Drilling IS becoming more difficult
daily but the contractor is we'll satisfied
that the we'll will be completed in the
reouired time as be is ahead of time in
the work. 1t is probable that good
flow will be secured at depth OF about
1850 feet.

Russian Wheat,

\ variety OF Russian wheat imported
by the eovernmen last year was tried
at the Agricultural college this year. 1t
is soft wheat of the bearded variety,
and shows itself to be money. maker
for the farmer. The beads contain from
60 to 10 grains of twice the size OF aver
age wheat. By way of experiment the
62 grains from one head were weighed
yesterday, showing weight OF g.
grains. Thlrty-six kernels of another
variety Of common hard wheat, the
number found in head. weighed 20
grains. On the tenth of an acre given
up to the experiment OF this kind of
wheat, IS heavy bundles were harvested,
and it is believed that it will yield at
the rate of GU bushels to the acre. Even
if it had to be sold for five cents a BUSH
ell less than the hard wheat usually
grown IN this country it would appear
to be a money-maker for the man who
raised it. The samples measured four
and half feet.-Fargo Argus.
