North Dakotans will observe with
a good deal Of interest the proceedings
and deliberations of the National Irri-
cation Congress at Ell Paso, and from
the wisdom that results from multi
tude of counselors those interested in
irrigation in this state may be able
to gather something Of state advan-
tage. Prof. E. F. Chandler, state irri-
cation engineer, is at the meeting rep
resenting North Dakota and! we may
look for him: to bring back the best OF
the ideas advanced that are applicable
to work in this state. Unfortunately
press Of other business prevented the
attendance at this meeting of President
E. A. Williams Of the state irrigation
association, but he is keeping close
watch of the proceedings and will let
nothing escape that can possibly be
of benefit to this state.

Since the law went into effect re-
curing guardians Of estates, and rela-
tives of patisnts committed to the in
sane asylum, to provide for their actu-
al board where such guardians are
financially able to do SO, great many
have cheerfully responded, says the
jamestown Alert. The receipts from
this source since the act was passed
at the last legislature amounted to
over $4,000 and their payments from
other patients are being arranged for
and will come in due time. The law
is not intended to be a hardship in
any case, and it is not meant in that
way. Many Of the relatives of the
patients comply with the act upon
notification, and the sum received
makes quite an addition to the fund
for the maintenance Of patients.

KINDNESS AND MILK SUPPLY.
English Agricultural College Says
Cows Regulate Amount Accord
ing to Treatme emit Received.

If you want your cow to yield milk
of the best quality and greatest quantity
you have only to treat her kindly. This
is the sum and substance of the dis
covery made by the staff Of the county
technical college at Chelmsford, Eng
land.
The cow is nervous animal, suscept-
BILE to kind or harsh treatment. Both
the amount and quality of the milk
she gives depends on her preference for
the persons with whom she has to deal.
Following up the theory rigorous ex-
pertinent was tried on farm in Essex.
Four cows were tried with four different
mixers. The favorite mixer was hon
ored with nearly 10 pounds weight Of
milk one morning, while another less
favored got only a trifle over Is pounds
the next morning, while another COW
which had yielded badly the first morn
ing increased her supply as well as the
quality the second morning, with the
change Of mixer.

Much Pulp Wood.

A large amount Of pulp wood is
being cut along the line of the Du-
luth & Iron Range this winter and
is furnishing employment to large
number of men. Contractors are re-
ceiving $500 per cord loaded on cars.
it is thought the price will go much
higher within very few years. The
Tower News says:
"The Duluth Log company has a
large crew of men at work cutting
pulp wood near Murray siding, as
high as four cars day being ship
ped out from that point. A large
amount Of it is also being hauled to
SOudan by team. where it is loaded
on cars for shipment. The Tower
Lumber company will cut and ship
1000 cords OF pulp wood, 125, 900 rail
road ties and about 100, 900 fence posts,
which they are cutting near Bear
Head lake. N. j. Benson has a con-
tract for 1000 cords of pulp wood, a
part Of which lie will cut near
Athens, some up the lake and the
balance of it will be purchased in
small lots from homesteaders living
near the city. At Rivers, siding
about two miles south of here, several
local people are cutting and loading
pulp wood, ties, telegraph and fence
posts. Gust Lee figures on putting in
nearly 1000 cords of pulp wood, j. w.
Sherman from 300 to 500 cords, Otto
Anderson from 500 to 600 cords and
Hhos. Sandretto will ship about 200
cords. 1t is said that fully fifty men
are employed at this work near Rivers.
j. N. Burgess also has ten or twelve
men at work getting out cord and pulp
wood, ties, posts, ETC., near Athens"

ENJOYS UNIQUE PENSION.
Washington Restaurant-KeeperF Fur.
ntshes Ex-Employe with Three
Square Meals Daily,

ALI men who draw pensions are not
veterans in military sense. The pro.
prietor of one of Washington's leading
restaurants has provided for one Of his
ex-employes in manner most unique.
The pension consists Of three square
meals day and as many drinks. The
old man who draws this pension is an
ex-bartender of the establishment, and
was put on the retired list some time
ago.
AS the pensioner was known to be
fond Of ''the cup that cheers" the en-
ployer found it necessary to add one
clause to the pension, viz: "The drinks
will be given at the appointed time, be-
fore breakfast, dinner, and supper, pro-
vided there are no signs Of having in
dulged in intoxicants elsewhere" It is
very familiar sight to see this old man
comfortably seated at neat looking lit
tie table enjoying his food as much an
he did in the days when he was in &C.
tive service.

Back to Finland.

A Chicago News special cable dis
patch from Stockholm says:
"Three hundred Films passed
through this city yesterday on their
way back to Finland from the United
States. They told the News cores.
pendent that times were so hard in
America they preferred to take
chances in their native land"
1t is likely that all or most all, OF
these Firms have been working in the
Lake Superior mines, and determined
to return to Finland. for the winter
at least, when discharged a couple OF
months ago, says the News Tribune.
They could return to their native land
at small cost for travelling. Living
there is cheap, and those who visit
with relatives will be little or nothing
out. When things open up again on
the Lake Superior ranges, as they will
in the course of a few months, these
Firms will probably return and find
jobs awaiting them.
In 1893 thousands Of miners from
the Lake Superior district went back
to Europe, when thrown out of en-
ployment. immigration dropped
down to its lowest ebb, and the tide
did notrise again for about five years.
No such years as characterized 1893
are expected however. Without a
doubt industrial activity will revive
again in few months.
However, we are inclined to believe
the correspondent at Stockholm was
alittle mistaken in regard to humble
A great many Austrians and Italians
have left but mighty few Firms. The
Finns have gone into the lumber
woods and intend to put in the winter.

Cost of Living.

The cost of living is one of the
things that now confronts US. and we
are told that there must be decrease
in the price of the substahtials needed
for our everyday life. The cost of
living has been subject given much
attention. 1t is an item that worries
us all. The store billsare Invariably
too high. 1t may be that we are not
paying as.much attention to the buy
ing as we should. Too often this i'm
portant mission is intrusted to the
children or the store deliyerer, and it
is an easy matter to run into careless
methods. In times like these the
careful housewife should scrutinize
every purchase, and shonld give it her
personal attention. This should be
done at all times, aud particularly
should it receive consideration during
the periods of good wages, as it is
during such times that we should lay
little money aside for the hard
times. The price of our bread and
butter and meats is largely governed
by the demand for. these. articles.
We send great deal..of flour and
meat abroad. Our export business in
these lines keeps the growers busy,
and so long as this condition exists
we cannot expect lower prices at
home. These are the staples of our
living. The fuel we cannot expect
to get mnch less than at present.
There is keen competition in cloth
ing and dry goods, and few merchants
are making a dollar, while many are
losing. We do not look for lower
prices of these things. Europe pays
more for her meats than we do, which
she mustias great portion of it comes
from the United States. In our cold
climate we demand wooden underwear
and clothing, and the price of wool
and labor regulates this. The cost of
living should come down. We all
need the advantage this will bring,
but we can see that there is not GO
ing to be any sweeping cut in prices
of the staples so long as conditions
are as at present AS we say. we
will have to look after the little
things. trimming wherever we can,
and make our best plea with en-
ployers for the keeping of wages to
IA point commensurate with the cost
of maintenance of our homes. The
subject Of economy is not popular.
We are used to plenty of everything,
and we are entitled to it. or course
there should not be waste. This too
often characterizes our domestic af
fairs, and is Il bad habit possessed
by American people. What we hope
for is an improvement in the iron
trade that will not cause us to beat
our brains SO hard to pull both ends
together.-IronO Ore.
