BUTTONS IN PLACE OF COAL.
Woman Finds She Can Heat Der Hcms
with Factory's Waste.

A widow living in one Of the big
tenement houses on The east side has
discovered a novel Substitute for
coal. She is employed by a large
button firm to sew celluloid and COM
position buttons on cards. Large
bags full o. buttons, as hey come
from the factories-some perfect,
some broken or having flaws in the
fnish-are sent h5l home. In
d%iscarding some OF the imperfect
specimens a few days ago she threw
them upon the Me. Lie proportion
Of celluloid contained in them was
sufficient 10 cause the buttons to ig-
mite, but was noi large enough to
cause an explosion. More buttons
were thrown on the dte, and when all
Of the Goa in Ge gfa.e mad been con-
sumed there remained from the
heated buttons a glow sufficient to
boil a kettle Of Na,a.. This was not
entirely extinguialeG hen the wom-

following morning. Since then the
experiment has been tried with
larger numbers Of the Imperfect but
tons, thousands Of which we're stored
in a bedroom, and a FIRE which lasted

NORTH DAKOTA.

People of the east are wont to
think of North Dakota as a land
of wild uncertainty; land of pow
erty and hard toll. The people
of North Dakota can afford to be
thus thought of for the solid bene-
fit is theirs, whatever tradition
about the state may be. North
Dakota, counting the actual pro-
duction of the soil per capita,
which is the best test of a states
agricultural wealth, is one of the
richest spots Oh the face of the
earth. The state raised this year
about fourteen acres of grain for
every man, woman and child in it's
population. It raised 40 bushels
of flax and 235 bushels of wheat
per capita of population this year
which sold for an aggregate of
sl30 per capita. The state has
$50 worth Of live stock per capita
and has more acres of good farm
land per capita than probably any
other state in the union. Look at
the figures of the crop this year,
an average crop of wheat, the re-.
cord crop of fax; 100000 bush
els of wheat, 100000 bushels of
fax raited i. :. state. with a popu-
lation of 3l9, l46. The fax crop of
this state is larger than the crop
of the entire United States has
been in recent years. It is more
than half the oeuntry's crop this
season. Two hundred and thirty
dollars per capita in this state
means more than the same in q
crowded cities because the distribu-
ton is more equal than any other
state in the whole world. The
growth of North Dakota has been
rapid. In 1892 there we're 3,447,-
592 acres of land under cultiva-
ton. In 1900 there were 6, Lee, 946
acres under cultivation. During
this time the live stock values ia
the state have increased 80 per
cent. The state agricultural de.
partment estimates that there are
in the state 251, 401 horses valued
at $5,849, l63, of cattle 307, 1886, val
aed at $5,723.533; of sheep, $751;
028 valued ct $475,08l; of mules,
4,033, valued at $l35,l45 Of hogs,
H,O73. valued at Sl6l,866, and
wool Clipped LAST season TO the
value of el,260,OOO. The acreage
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1902-01-16

Of wheat last year is estimated by
the same authority at 3,77l, 606;
oats, S48,439; barley, 1865; rye,
81, 063: corn, l39,049. The acreage
Of fax was probably about 1,0O0,-
900 acres. A large percentage of
this was raised on newly broken
ground, and a good increase under
cultivation this year. The good
areas of the state have been by no
means fully developed. There are
yet large sections of unbreken soil
that will yield as good returns as
the average already cultivated.
