The Kind Of Seeds thatiYield.

AS everybody knows there are good
seeds and bad seeds, seeds that grow
and seeds that don't grow. seeds that
yield and seeds that don't yield and q
little thought given now to the selec.
tion of The seed you'll need, will be
found at harvest time to have been we'll
spent if you select the world famed
Ferry's Seeds-the kind that always
yields. For nearly half century
Ferry's Seeds have been known and
sown wherever good crops are grown,
until farmer and gardener alike, have
learned to depend upon their wonder
fully reliable growing land yielding
qualities, year after year. to the ex-
clusion of all others.
1 Unfortunately the seed business
seems to afford a means for many un-
scrbpulous people, who aim to blind
the unwary to quality, through little
ness of price and boastful claims, who
in reality have nothing to substantiate
their claims, no reputation at stake
no past record a, proof. 1t is better to
pay "a little more for the seed and be
assured of a great deal more at the
harvest by sowing Ferry's Seeds. The
Seed Annual which is sent free, post
paid, will be found unusually interest
ing aud instructive. Write for it to
day. Address d. NJ. Ferry & 90, De

a NEW RAILROAD
AND Still. hey Build !!
N. P. EXTENSION.

The Northern Pacific has two surveying
crews in the field, one south of Windsor
and the other at LaMoure. In the latter
town the lines have been run through
door yards. and the surveying going on
has set people all to guessing. The men
are sleeping in tents and say they are
more comfortable than in some farmers
houses. There are all sorts of rumors as
to the object of the rush of work going on
and many think that it means the building
of another Northern Pacific branch across
the southern part of Stutsman county this
season. AS far as known no Milwaukee
surveyors have been in the field at all in
this county this winter, although farmers
have so reported. The preliminary sur
veying work is being done, as far as
known by the Northern Pacific surveyors.
The rumors point to an extension north or
northwest from Edgeley by the N. P
Jamestown Alert. (Kulm, Messenger,

Pacific.

Dawson, N. D., March e.-Surveyors
have just completed setting the grade
stakes for the Edgeley extension of the

additional coaling dock of double the
capacity of the one at present, which will
necessitate the moving of the depot and

sion of side tracks that are contemplated
and will be made necessary by the COM

State Should Distribute School
Money Now.

State Treasurer Knox has ust
made another report of money bal
ances in the different state funos and
these show u total of $649, ,299, ,66.
Balances, when on the credit side of
the ledger, are good things to have
in any state, but they do not, in the
form of balances, always indicate
prosperity.
For instance: The financial condi-
tion of majority of the county
schools of Florida are not prosper
Gus, although there is a balance of
$07, ,033, 90 in the one mill school fund
andan additional balance of $l7,574,1
known as ''interest of the state
school fund" These make total of
$685. S,607,2 which should be distri-
buted among the counties of the
state for the benefit of the primary
schools.
That is the specific purpose for
which these funds were created, and
the present, of all timesil the year,
is the time when its distribution
among the counties of the state
would do the most good.
Salaries for teachers will soon be
coming due, and many of the eoun-
ties may be obliged to issue warrants
which teachers can only cash at a
discount. The distribution of these
funds among the several counties,
while it might just at this time put
additional burdens upon some OF the
state officers, would nevertheless
save much embarrassment to the
several county school boards.

Baron HOwth's Rat.

The story of the luck Of the Howths
is well known, and down to very recent
times no member of that family would
permit rat to be put TO death. 1t was
said that about the year 1850 the twen-
ty-sixth Baron Howth was giving a
banquet to his friends when rat rush
ed into the hall, followed by several
dogs, and, jumping on the table, sat up
before Lord Howth as If appealing for
protection. He saved its life, and from
that moment it never quilted him. AT
last he set out on a foreign tour, accom-
panied by his brother, who persuaded
him to leave the rat behind.
Sitting in a hotel at Marseilles, the
door suddenly flew open, and the rat,
dripping wet,' came crawling in and
went straight to the fire to dry itself.
Lord Howth's brother enraged at the
intrusion, seized the poker and dashed
out the rats brains. You have MUIR
dered mew exclaimed Lord HOwth and
instantly fell down and eXpired.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

If you poke about the corners of a
garden you will soon understand, says
the Garden, how the, stories of toads
imprisoned in a solid rock arise. You
hardly ever find a toad in its chosen
retreat without wondering how it man
aged to get in and how it proposes to
get out again, and our ancestors en-
shrined this batrachian habit in the
phrase toad in hole" as the name of
a dish in which piece of meat is
baked inside batter, with no visible
means of entrance or exit. This pecul-
lar faculty of the toad for burying him
self without leaving a trace behind is
due to his trick Of burrOwing back
ward, as crab does, his strong hind
legs shOveling the earth forward until
he is covered.
