The weather of the last few days has
been disappointing after the satisfac-
tory way in which spring opened up.
Sunday and Monday nights the ther-
mometer dropped below freezing point.
Yesterday there was just enough of the
"beautiful" to remind one that extremes
in weather is something in which North
Dakota can hold it's own. with any of
them.

LAST week Editor Boyd announced

LAST week Editor Boyd announced
that the exterior of the Moon print shop
had been given surprise in the form a
coat of paint. Conditions were further
revolutionized by the installing of q
clean office towel. The Man in the
Moon no doubt gives publicity to the
item with the idea of creating profes-
sional jealousy.

Mating.-One gander to three fe-
males. Mate with large. vigorous
birds.
Management.-1n spring make large,
comfortable nests. In most cases two
clutches of eggs are laid, sometimes
three. Collect the eggs soon after being
laid, as they are easily chilled.
Hatching.-Some breeders who hatch
geese OH large scale use incubators.
One of these breeders says: II incubate
their first laying with chicken hens
and frequently let old mother goose
care for her second hatch. Be sure
to have the hens that are chosen for
sitters free from lice. Sprinkle the
eggs with warm water twice during
the last week. Oftener in dry weather
will do no harm. Remove the goslings
from the nest as they are Matched, for
they are easily mashed. Keep them in
flannel cloth in a basket in a good
warm place until all are hatched.
Sometimes the goslings will have to be
helped out of the shells.''
Concerning Ducks.
Weights of ducks are as follows:
Pounds. Pounds
Pekin drake....... Pekin duck....... z
Young drake...... Z Young duck.......
Aylesbury drake. 9 Aylesbury duck... 8
Young drake...... 8 Young duck....... Z
Rouen drake...... 8 Rouen duck. ........
Young drake...... s Young duck....... 2
Early in the season three to five
ducks are allowed to a drake; later
in the season. when running outside,
eight to twelve. The drake should not
be over two years of age.
Ducks lay from 100 to 40 eggs in a
season. The eggs take twenty eight
days to hatch. Duck eggs are Matched
by hens or ducks. They hatch we'll by
incubator.-A Canadian Poultryman.
EARLY Hotbeds and Plant Protectors.
Excavating for hotbeds will he pref
~ hard work for the diggers, as Jack
Frost has not been idle in these re-
gions, says Michigan writer in Rural
New Yorker.
The first early beds are far better
made thus on account of the extra
amount of manure required for long
pull With the preparation Of the beds
comes also the repairing of sash or
glazing and painting new ones.
Plant protectors are another fndfs-
pensable convenience. Made of heavy
tarred paper, they cost but little either
in time or money, and their worth is
hard to estimate. Other kinds of pro-
tectors, as plain boxes, boxes with
glass tops, etc., are all practical and
useful and for those who can afford
them are good investment To 9TH
ers. however, the cost is prohibitive,
but the tar paper is in reach of all.
Agricultural Brevities.
The early freeze-up spoiled the plans
Of many who wanted to grow rhubarb
in the dark. They could not dig out
the roots.
Let a farmer limit his study to the
experiment station bulletins, and would
he have all the agricultural informa-
ton" he needs?

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

From time to time in the col.
kumns of the BANNER, wa have
been enable to express. our views
on the judiciary amendment rela-
tive to our new Circuit Courts or
Courts Of Appeal, as they are to
be remodeled under the amenda-
tory provisions of our constitu-
ton. We have shown the reason
why We endorse and strongly ia
vor this amendment also. We
have shown that these Courts will
expedite justice and will relieve
the parishes of much of the pre-
sent needless expense In many
quarters.
The recommendation and sub
sequent crystallizing of the Judi
ciary defects into amendment to
our constitution, was the work of
the best legal lights of our State.
and hence the intelligent voter
should not refrain from ratifying
that which has been done for the
better administration of justice by
the men Of experience in that par
ticular branch. The judiciary
amendment has not been attacked
in any quarter that we have seen;
It is of recognized public necessity
Ind its ratification or passage is
IN assured fact.
We urge every voter to support
Ind vote for 1t next Tuesday.

VOTE FOR THE SCHOOL BOND
AMENDMENT.

First on the ballot among the
first amendments to be voted for on
next Tuesday will be found the
amendment relative to the million
dollar school bond issue for the
betterment of our public school
SYSTEM We desire to urge upon
the intelligent voter the necessity
and patriotism Of casting his vote
for this amendment as much de-
ponds upon it's ratification for the
veal and enlightenment of future
generations.
It has been said that no neces-
sity exists for the adoption OF this
amendment to the State Constitu-
ton, and yet it has been pointed
out in speeches made by
some of the best educators in the
State, as well as by published
communications, louisiana enjoys
and has for years enjoyed the
proud distinction of being the
lowest State in the Union in point.
of illiteracy, and this shameful
fact is not held under cover when
Louisianians journey to other
States and their cheeks are made
to suffuse with the blood of shame
on this account.
We are perfectly willing to
grant, and honestly believe, that
the public school system through
out our State has improved won
derfully in the past few years.
The objects of the bond amend
ment seeks to attain, the great ex-
listing need for assistance that will
make our public educational sys-
TEN one above reproach and crit
icism and many other laudable
and worthy considerations, make
the amendment to our mind one
of the greatest benefactories of the
age and the voters ought to think
very seriously and well before
they cast single vote against it.
BY all means, for the future good
and welfare of those who are to
come after you, register your vote
id favor of the public school
amendment on next Tuesday.

We. your committee. further report
that upon elimination Of The books
Of the Secretary, we find that the Par
ISL nOws owes the banks in the town
OF Franklin about $l5. ZOO. co. which
sum has been borrowed for the pur-
pose of defraying the current expenses
of the year 1904. 1t will take about
four or five thousand dollars to run
the parish from now until the 1st of
January, 1905, at which time the taxes
Of 1904 are collected. BY the LIST of
February, 1905, the tax collector will
collect Of parish taxes, exclusive of
the three mills appropriated for pub
lie schools, $40, 10000 From this
$50, 900. 90 will be deducted the $40, 600
90, above shown, and would leave in
the treasury a surplus of about $lO,-
900. Oh to assist in defrayin the ex-
penses of the year 1905.
The parish will likely collect about
$40, 600. 90 of parish licenses for the
year 1905, the most of which will be
collected by the LIST of March of said
year. This wOusl then put in the
treasury about E. 10000, with which
to pay the expen IS of the year 1905.
This would leave deficit of cash on
hand of about slV,OoO.OO, which will
have to be borrowed from the banks
if the parish continues to pay it's in
debtedness promptly as it accrues.
Therefore, your committee would re-
specially recommend that the expen-
ditures of the parish I've SO adjusted,
and a sufficient amount of taxes col /!
.ected to create surplus sufficient to |
pay the expenses of the parish as they /!
accrue, without being. forced to bor-
row money and pay interest.

WORLDS SUPPLY OF OPIUM.

Few persons have any idea of the vast areas given over wholly to the cultivation Of opium. The consumption and the manufacture of this drug. far from being on the decline. are on the increase to an almost incredible eX- tent. The greed for god is far more predominant Tn the human makerD than is the philanthropic spirit wh ch seeks to elevate mankind, though it's purse may suffer in so doing. Eng land reaps more benefit from the culti- vation of opium than all other nations put together.
 In the district of Bengal alone there are nearly 100000 acres devoted ex- clusively to the cultivation of the r1p- py. It's cultivation is legalized and in every way encouraged by the British government, which has an absolute monopoly of this industry in Ind a. The two principal districts are presided over by and under the direct control of Eng fish officers residing at Pstna and Ghazipur. The BIhar agency em- braces an opium field of 500,00O acres and that of Benares is a close secoEd with 473,5OO acres.
 There is a fierce dispute going Cn just now as to the relative merits or demerits of opium. Many eminent men In the scientific world openly declare that opium is a blessing. The govern inert experts ir the country where it grows go so far as to say that opium is a blessing instead of a curse to the na- tives. However, the vast majority of
