TO BE RATIFIED MAY II.
Expectation Regarding st. Paul &
Duluth Sale.


General Counsel Bum, of the Northern
Pacific will return from the East early
this week, in time to attend the annual
meeting of the st. Paul & Duluth road,
Of which he IS now q director.
Mr. Bunns absence is said to have been
made necessary by matters IN connection
with the pending action Of the Duluth
board, by which the Duluth property Will
be sold out to the Northern Pacific.
Until after this meeting, which will be
May 81, no announcement is to be made
Of the plans under consideration. 1t is
learned that the transfers and changes
in the Duluth staff which are to occur
are now arranged in detail, and that the
Northern Pacific, the day after the Du-
luth annual meeting, will be able to an
nOunce the personnel Of the different de-
partments Of that road and the manner
in which they are to be handled. The de
lay is OccasiOned from the fact that no
action ratifying the sale has yet been had
by Duluth directors, and consequently the
Northern Pacific is not in technical pos
session Of the property.
General Freight Agent w W. BrOugh
ton, of the Duluth, issued a circular yes
terday announcing that on June 1 the
freight Offices of the road at Duluth will
be consolidated with those Of the North
ern Pacific, in charge of F. c. Jackson.

A New Departure.

We have been watching an attempt
of the publishers of the Practical Farm
En- to produce library for farmers, one
that would be practical, cheap, attract
i've, and meet the needs of the farmers
Tor handy reference library. We
must say we have been agreeably sur.
prised at the way these enterprising
publishers have taken hold of this mat
ter. The volumes of the Practical
Farmer library are issued quarterly.
The first numbers of last year and this
year have been "Year Books" each
containing vast amount of condensed
information, making the two issues
veritable cyclopedias of information on
general subjects. For the other num-
bers the columns of the Practical
Farmer were drawn upon. First came
a volume of "Short Cuts" these being,
in other words, labor-saving ways of
doing things about the house, farm,
barn and garden. For years the read
ers of the Practical Farmer have been
sending in to that paper descriptions of
shorter ways of doing all kinds of work,
and in this book nearly 1000 of these
"Short Cuts" are printed, and illustrat-
ed with more than 500 pictures. There
is in these scarcely any kind of work
on the farm or in the house which is
not discussed briefly, and practical sug-
gestions made for shorter methods of
performing it.
The next volume was one of the
most practical cook books ever printed,
being made up Of recipes from farm
homes all over the country. This also
contains many medical hints and direc-
tons for the treatment of common dis
eases. The fourth volume is ''Practi-
cal Experience" in farming, and is
written by farmers and their wives, in
every part of the country, giving their
actual experiences in growing various
crops, different methods of cultivation,
success or failure with every line of
farm operations. No such book was
ever compiled before, and it must be
seen to be rightly appreciated. The
numbers for the present year are to be
fully as valuable, and we feel that we
do our readers service in calling their
attention to this series of books. They
contain about 400 pages each, and are
sent for 80 cents per volume. Address

teenth streets, Philadelphia, Pa.

Live Stock Market.

There were offered at Brighton last Tues
day POOP cattle, 205 sheep and lambs, 5S2
swine and 207 calves.
There were very few northern and east
ern beef cattle on offer, but this was rather
fortunate az the demand was slow, cir
cumstance attributed largely to purchases
recently made by butchers in the West

lbs, 51c; beef cows, average 815 lbs, &c.
There was a good deal of negotiation
about mich COWS and springers which,
however, was unproductive of much bust
ness, buyers and sellers being apart as to
prices.

light receipts. In one instance Tic was
reached. Sales: u calves, average 10 lbs,

Farmers and the Census.

The census to be taken this year ia
laid out on a more elaborate scale than
those preceding it and apparently
greater effort is to be made to secure
accuracy. Considerable preliminary
work has already been done for pro-
noting better knowledge of what the
census enumerator will inquire about
and it will be no fault of the census
bureau if the people are not somewhat
prepared for the enumerator's ques-

will study the list of questions care
fully and make out at their leisure the
answers as correct as possible, they will
save both themselves and the enumer-
ator much valuable time and aid in OBJ
tanning more accurate census of agri-
culture.
There is hardly another industry
where there will be 30 much guess

as in farming. This is due partly to
the impossibility of keeping so accu-

other business, and partly to neglect
on the part of the farmers in general
to keep any record at all. Probably
not one farmer in three tries to keep

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send
