Looks Like a Potato Famine.

1t begins now to look as though
North Dakota was fabout to face q
potato famine. Tie potato crop Of
last season was very fair, aud the
tubers could be obtained in the fall
at reasonable prizes, but merchants
as rule did notf put in nearly as
large stock as in l897, as the expert
ence of that year twas very discour-
ing. Then everyhvailab!e basement
in the city was utilized for the stor-
age OF potatoes, @yers expecting, in
the spring, to rSalize large profits.
Spring came anN potatoes were a
drug on the marAet. There was no
outside demand fpr them and the To-
cal demand was rot nearly sufficient
to use up the supply.
Last fall few merchants put in
large stocks, but immense quantities
were pitted by the farmers for spring
trade. The continued and intense
cold of the early part of the year, to-
gether with the lack of snow have
proven too much for many of these
pits and thousands of bushels OF po-
tatoes have been frozen. Of course
there are many pits which have not
yet been opened and which may
prove to be all right, but such large
proportion of those already opened
have been frozen, that a sharp adj
vance in prices is looked for.-Grand
Forks Herald.

Of Interest to Farmers.

In late bulletin issued from the
experiment station at the Fargo Ag-
r'cultural college is given a compen
dium of results obtained by two sea-
sons experiments with the Campbell
system of soil cultivation of wheat on
land sown by ordinary methods. The
report states that:
Fall plowed land gave one bushel
per acre heavier yield than spring
blowing as all average for seven years
trial. E
Wheat sown in drills and cultivat-
ed gave yieldsof 10 bushels and ID
pounds less per acre than wheat sown
in the ordinary way.
Ground plowed with the Secretary
disk gang plow yielded so pounds
less per acre than that plowed with
an ordinary mouldboard plow,
Sub-solled land gave an increase of
81 pounds per acre at greater cost,
making the net profits 42 cents less
per acre upon sub soiled land,
narrowing land Immediately after
plowlng gave an increase of 80
pounds per acre in yield and an in
acre. # r.
Land subsurface packed gave 1
bushel ands6 pounds greater weld
than land not packed and 81 cents
greater net profit per acre.
Deep plpwing gave 43 pounds
greater yield than shallow and 81
cents greater net profit.
Rolling and narrowing land after
seeding gave an increase of 3 bushels
and II pounds per acre in yield and
$l.25 in net profit as result of a
single trialin the season of 1898.
narrowing wheat one week after
seeding caused an increase in yield
of 2 bashels and l pound and an in
crease in net profit of " cents per
acre.

The Evils of Filtration.

"ln Irritation there is the same dis
slpated element pf excitement so be-
guiling in gambing-uncertainty; in
fact we might add to the dictionary
definition still later one: To flrt,
gambling in heakts'" :" writes Frances
Evans in the April Ladies' Home
Journal. "The 4irt like the gambler
feeds upon the sintoxication of his
passions. In faw years he becomes
incapable OF stead fast, enduring love,
that feeling which IN civilized man is
separated from tHe love of the barba-
rian by the elem ient of ideality, Of
spiritual sympathy as distinct from
merely the attract Eon of brute nature.
The open -minded5 open-souled, man
ly man is apt to sexpress himself in
abrupt praise of Nhat he likes, but
the flrt knows better than to take the
edge off Of conf pliment by giving it
publicity. The / flirt is invariably
confidential in hi manner. A hirt
becomes unscrupnlous in his rela-
tions with womh, no matter how
high code of honor he may abide
by in other mattefs. His conscience
is calloused on ons side beyond REM
edy. There is nogerm which devel-
apps more rapidly than the 6irtatious.
bacteria. Given d young man or wo-
man whose pride fis wounded more
deeply than his pr her love by
member of the opposite sex, then if
there be slight firtatious tendency
to begin with, IT. will be but over
night before the weed has grown to
surprising proportions, choking out
conscience and kindness, while it
supports and strengthens vanity
which stands close by the wounded
affections in the human heart.'
