new CROP RESULTS.
A Few Threshers Started Up Last
Week Are Now Awaiting
Fine Weather.
BETTER THAN A HALF.

Results so far Reported Indicate that the
Yield is Bigger than Expected and Pres
ent Prices Promise Farmers as Good an
Average az Last Year--Barley, Wheat
and Oats About Two-T -Thirds--Flax Prob
ably Better.
Only small percentage of the thresh-
ing machines around Langdon con-
menced their seasons work last week
and the heavy rain of Sunday night pre-
vented the starting up of others that in
tended pulling into the harvest field this
week. Reports of the yield of the new
crop at present are meagre and no fair
estimate of what will be the average can
be estimated. Farmers who are not
crippled through loss by hail, or extreme
drouth, figure that though the yield is
less there will be as much money in their
crop this fall as year ago. South of
Langdon the report is that number of
farmers expect their wheat to average
up with last year. Barley is likely to be
not over half of the average yield, but
even then will be money making crop.
Oats though perhaps the most uneven
crop of all has been improved immense
ly by weather of the past few days. 1t
is too early yet to figure on the yield of
fax, but there is good deal oflate sown
seed that favorable weather of the past
two weeks is helping. The worst feature
regarding fax is the low price prospect
During the week threshing reports from
. few farms in this immediate vicinity
have been obtainable. None Of those
mentioned have completed the task Of
threshing, the result being only the
earlier sown grain.
FEW EARLY RESULTS:
Frank Moran threshed barley on two
Of his farms south of town averaging y
and q bushels.
j. McPhail threshed two hundred
acres Of barley, averaging little better
than l6 bushsls to the acre.
Louis Brunnsll III crop Of barley On tho
Alex Chaput place south oftown, turned
out only,'l5 bushels, being about the
lightsst 80 far heard ot.

The Truthful Pioneer.

Zone day." said the truthful pioneer,
81 was whacking up some wood down,
by the creek, and ten Indians loomed
up. They were pretty thirsty even for
Indians, and they said they knew I
had a jug somewhere, and they want-
ed to sample 1t. had log about half
split at the time, and the ak was stick
ing in 1t. I told them If they would
help me get that log In two would
show them where the jug was. So they
took hold, five on one side and five on
the other, and pulled. And when 1
took the ak out the log sprung together
and held them all by the fingers, Then
walked away to the house and loaded
the shotgun and three or four pistols
and then went back and argued with
them, and they reformed right away"
This story, says the Nebraska State
Journal, was originally told Of Daniel
Boone or Davy Crockett and has done
good service ever since. 1t is not copy
righted, however, and there is no good
reason why Nebraska pioneers should
not use it
Amador ledger., 1903-05-08
Perfect Respiration.

For perfect respiration two things
are necessary-chest capacity and
breath control. The average individual,
woman especially, uses but a limited
portion of the lungs and upper chest
In ordinary breathing. Whenever a
little unusual physical effort makes de-
mand for an extra breathing capacity,
note how she puffs and pants, almost
to a point of gasping. The reason for
this is that the muscles Of the lower
chest, waist and abdomen have become
well nigh atrophied through neglect
and abuse. They are stiff and unre-
sponslve and have now to be coaxed
back to a condition of activity and
obedience.
1t is quite as possible to educate
these muscles so that they shall re-
spond to our slightest demand as 1t is
that our hands are trained to do our
bidding. Different teachers will advo-
cate different forms of breathing-up-
per chest side chest, lower chest and
abnormal breathing-but what we
most want is absolute control, such
control of the muscles as shall enable
us to make use of any desired form of
breathing at the word of command, for
all forms have special values. Full up
per chest breathing is used most, but
lower chest and abdominal breathing
are very valuable in cases of nervous
ness, indigestion, stomach and bowel
troubles.
