One man whom we know has made
great success of hauling cut corn
fodder by waiting until early winter
and taking spell Of cold, dry
weather, hauling the corn to the home
stead and running alternate bundles Of
corn and oat sheaves through an old
thrashing machine. This plan entire
ly prevented the heating Of the fodder
and the shelled corn, and where the
grain is fed out on the farm the plan
has much to recommend it.

How the Wreck Occurred.

Passenger train No j, south-bound,
which should have arrived at Exline
at l o'clock this afternoon was piled
up two miles north of EXline Repairs
to the track were being made at this
point and the right-of-way was soft.
New rails had been placed in position
and it is supposed the work was not
properly done. AT any rate the speed
at which the train was running was too
fast for the improvements.
The engine passed safely over the
place where the repairs were made
but the baggage car mail car and one
chair car left the rails and are now
piled in the ditch with it's load of dead
and dying humanity.
1t is stated here that thirty-six PEG.
pie are injured, eleven of them fatal
ly.

LITTLE WATER AND GOOD WHEAT.

1t is being thoroughly demonstrated
in western North Dakota that where
the rainfall Is as scant as twelve inches
per annum fine crops Of wheat may be
grown by putting the land into sum-
mer fallow every other year. The sys-
TEN implies very deep blowing in the
early spring and sufficient cultivation
of the fallow surface in the off year to
keep down the weeds. Five dollar land
SO treated is being made to produce
thirty bushels of "No. / hard" to the
acre every other year. We have seen
the wheat growing on fields so treated
and believe this statement is the truth.

division of labor, because chore work
and Sunday cleanliness and clothing
