Corn in North Dakota.

The following remarks about corn
raising, which are OF interest to all our
farmers, are kindly written in response to
an enquiry from subscriber of this pa
per in Illinois, who is an owner of land
in this county, and who noticed a para
graph relating to the corn crop of Mr..
Duncan. published few weeks ago.
Bruce, N. D., Nov. 9th, 1899. /.
Editors of the PIONEER EXPRESS:
Dear Sir:-In complying with your
inquiry for particulars about my corn
crop of 1898, will say that was very well
pleased with the result of my efforts in
raising corn for fodder and for grain. !
sowed 140 acres for grain, but in the
month of June, 1898, it rained nearly
every day for while and prevented any
cultivation being done, and the weeds
came up SO quick and rank that l feared
l would not be able to keep them down,
SO plowed it up, leaving eighty acres,
which 1 kept nice and clean. The corn
was sown in the first. days Of June, 1898,
and was ripe September lst and yielded
three wagon-box fulls of sixty bushels,
each, to the acre, ofcobs with the husk
on. Ears would average nine inches.
1sot the seed from Oscar HI. Will,
seedman, Bismarck. He called it his
Dakota corn. 1t is of the flint variety
and cobs rather low to cut easily with a
self binder. am trying to get kind
that will. On the same ground that
had in corn, this season l had from 26 to
81 bushels Of wheat to the acre, and the
partly rotted roots are still in the ground
enriching it for future crops. This year
l have nice crop of the same kind of
corn but do not know how many bushels
to the acre it would yield as l did not
husk it. cut it with Deerirg self
binder and shocked the sheaves in the
barnyard and am giving it to the hogs
to husk, the cattle cleaning up the stocks
afterward. would Judge that if it had
been husked that it would have easily
given fifty bushels per acre of corn cobs.
In cultivating it killed five crops Of
French weed and the sixth crop of it beat
me while i was harvesting and stacking.
Ihad to piow it under after the corn was.
off the ground; but in future will try
and have the cultivator going in the corn
while the harvesting is going on. think
that those who have muck stock to feed
should try corn in small way at first. l
am certain no cheaper feed can be
grown. This season had twenty large
loads of dry fodder corn off four acres.
Such fine feed it makes for cattle and so
cheap. ALEX. DUNCAN.

There is a great deal of unnecessary
fuss kicked up about the assessment OF
the government employees for political
purposes. The Times has never been
able to see why man who has fat Of
flee through the success of the republi-
can, or any other old party, should not
contribute Of his salary in aid of future
campaigns. Somebody has to put up
for campaign expenses and why not the
fellow who isreaping the benefits as; we'll
as his party associates who contribute
because they believe their party right
and do not expect to ever get a cent out
ofpolitics. There are too many men
who as soon as they get an Office, forget
that they are put there by the hard and
faithful work of their party associates,
and kick if they are asked 20 contribute
a few cents to help some one else. They
make US very weary. -Mandan Times.

We note that many Of our exchanges
run sort of gossipy, happy-go-lucky
department, gathered from their weekly
researches among their exchanges. In
almost every case the reading matter is
of interest to other-editors; but in some
papers the references are SO slight, that
the comment thereon can be of little in
terest to others than editors-but the
local newspaper is plid for by the local
readers. Then there are a few whose
efforts at humor are somewhat painful,
occasionally. Really it takes talent, and
peculiar talent too, everybody has it not,
to run bright, witty gossip from exchang-
es that is interesting for everybody to
read.

SOUTH AFRICA.

Things have frightened up for the
British in Ladysmith. While the Beers
have completely surrounded the CITY
General White sent force which in two
days, Friday and Saturday, achieved
distinct successes and it is claimed took
1000 Beers as prisoners. The Beers
have moved back from the CITY at a
greater distance than before. They are
supposed. to. be-, getting in heavy seiee
guns before making a final assault
u Meantime General. Butler, commander
in-c chief has arriveda Cape Town and
large numbers Of British troops have ar
rived and are arriving. A division of
about 8, 500 men are reported as on their
way to Ladysmith along the railway line
from Darban to that city.
Kimberly and Mateking, the two cities
to the west of the Transvaal, are still be-
fseiged but seem to hold out.
Rumors Of expeditions from Cape
Town up through Orange Free State and
taking the Boer forces in the rear at
Ladysmith are prevalent. All news of
the movement Of troops seems to be
censored out Of dispatches and news
comes slowly and unsatisfactory. Many
rumors Of Euro Intervention are per-
sistent. and just as persistently denied BY
the authorities.

MORE CHINESE.

Some IS more Cinnamon who have
been at Portal this summer, have come
across the line and been arrested by the
U. S. Custom authorities.
These Immigrants" seem to have a
pretty soft thing. Under the late decis.
ion OF Judge Amidon in former cases.
they have pretty fair chance of having
the opportunity given them of remaining
here in spite of the custom officers, and
if it should happen that the court decides
against them, then the United States
Will take charge of them, pay their
board and passage money back to China.
One of the interesting things about
the present lotis the fact that the names
OF the sixty-fve were transmitted from
Portal to the headquarters here by tele.
graph, and as the operators were not fa-
miliar with Chinese names, the result
was "Chinese puzzle" that took Depu-
ty Collector Morrison several hours to
make tally with the list that he previous
ly had made on their first application to
enter.
If this party is also successful, there is
liable to be an avalanche of Chinese be-
fore the U. S. Courts during the next few
years. as they are bound to get in if
money or artifice will do it.

MACHINE VOTING.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. THE Standard
voting machine was used in this city to.
day for the first time and accomplished
all that was expected of it. The result in
the city was known four minutes after the
polls closed on the head of the ticket,
which was computed first.
The above is clipped from the tele'
graphic reports of the election. 1t tells
its story of convenience and Of ce'erity ir
election process. One of the curious
things about this matter is the evident re-
luctance of the people to take up the ad
vantages of this new process. The new
system works something like the cash
registers used in stores, and the old sys'
tenn is about as slow and uncertain as
credit business.

choose about the government and it.

choose about the government and its
policies.
When ''free speech" becomes men
ace to the government, it becomes
treason, and t.'the punishment of treason
is death" In time Of peace it is rare
that anybody's utterances are of sufic-
lent Importance to interfere with the
government, but in wartime little pa
tience is exercised for anyone who at
tempts by word or. deed to create an
archy, by thwarting or destroying the
government.
The United States is the freest govern
ment on earth and liberty Of speech is
guaranteed by the constitution, but there
are thousands of persons yet alive, who
can remember when this free govern
ment suspended habeas corpus, and doz-
ems of individuals who claimed the right
of ''free speech, found themselves be-
hind the walls of Fort Lafayette and 9TH
] er prisons, without the formality OF trial
/ by judge or jury, and whose terms of i'm
prisonment were only limited to the time
when the government was satisfied
that when liberated, they would know
the difference between liberty and H.
cence, between free speech and treason.
Governments are the creation of hu-
manity; they are fully liable to the errors
OF humanity, but the preservation of gov
ernment is necessity, and the law of
self-preservation is the first law of nature
and takes precedence over the law offree
speech. However, or whatever, errors
may have been committed in the begin.
. ming, in the opinion of some, yet there
remains the present fact that we are at
war; there is now only one issue, defeat
!: or victory, and he who by word or deed,
assists to defeat this government, is a
traitor to that government.
/ If a soldier i'll the Philippines should
argue that the "free speech" of Petit.
grew or Atkinson Was right and proper,
then it would be only carrying that free
speech into logical conclusion, for him
to desert and go over and assist the
"prtriotic" Aggy. But if such soldier
should be captured by our troops, the
logic of Pettigrew's "free speech" would
not save him from deserved traitors
death; and to our minds, the soldier is a
little less blame-worthy, because he
would have carried out his convictions
and there at least, showed courage. The
soldier would only do, what Pettigrev

ably strong in Hamilton and to some ex-

feeling arising from the complications of
