As To Hydro phobla.

Mayville Tribune: Albert Andrew,
the 7-year-old son Of O. T. Andrew,
was badly bitten BY dog belonging
to William Peabody the first Of the
week. The dog is in durance vile,
pending the time necessary to show
whether he had rabies Or not. In
cases: Of dog bites the general tend
ency is to kill the dog at once. when
as a matter Of fact nothing worse
could be done. 1t should at once be
tied and keps somewhere. A dog
that has hydrophobia will invariably
die within three weeks Of the time
it has first shown symptoms, other
wise it will be alright and the victim
of its bite has absolutely nothing to
fear on that score. Kill the dog and
you have the uncertainty Of whether
or not the bite was dangerous. The
bite OF q dog, unless affected b
hydrophobia, is no worse than the
bite Of . sheep or any other animal. !.

The Globe Will Suspend.

The announcement of the st. Paul
Globe that it will suspend publication
after May l, after thirty years of
more or less successful business, comes
as a surprise to the public and dis
appointment to northwestern people
generally. The Globe assigns as
reason for its retirement the fact
that st. Paul business interests can.
not, or at least do not, support two
morning dailies. The Globe has of
late years been an exceptionally good
paper, and its suspension will be re-
gretted, especially by those who have
felt the nee1 OF at least one demo-
cratic daily in this section.

Evaporated Creams.

b Agricultural College. N. D.,
April "a. 1905.
For the past three months We have
warned the wholesalers, jobbers and
retailers that the term "Evaporated
Cream" as applied to milk from
which the water has been partially
removed can not be considered
proper labelling. Our annual report,
now in the hands of the state printer.
deals fully with the matter.
I wish again at this time to warn
the public that after July lst the
term Evaporated Cream as applied to
the class Of products named will be
deemed sufficient reason for marking
the product as illegal in this state.
The term Evaporated Milk might be
considered proper labelling, provid-
ed none of the fat has been removed
from the milk and the can is labeled
so as to show the net weight of its
contents. E. F.; Ladd, =.

soon take up the work of his Office at
the state capital. Mr.. Hegge is an
old timer IN the state. and will pro-
seoute the work with ability and ex-
perience. In case the crop season
materlizes as Is now anticipated, he
says there will be large number of
school land sales made this fall, as
the demand for such land is increas-
ing and the land can be sold for the
same prices or even better than other
lands in the same localities.

difficult to estimate. 1t has been
five years since q census was taken
and the last two years have been
noticeable for steady and rapid influx
o. immigration. The next five years,
when the government will enumerate
all citizens, will show a greater In

now a days and that lands have ad-
vanced as a whole Of about five dollars
an acre in the last two years and are
now selling at from $40 to s1o. The
new settlers are advised not TO de-
pend entirely upon grain, but to get
sheep. horses, cattle and to diversity
their crops, and the real estate men
,wro have lived in the county many
years, are giving.all the new settlers
practical information in regard to

In western North Dakota to sell their

Crop Bulletin Summary.

The weather during the fore part
Of lasG week was cold, but it warmed
up somewhat toward the latter part,
although frosts occurred every night
in all sections. No rain is reported
as having fallen at any place and the
ground has generally become dry
so there is practically no growth,
except Id parts of the Red river
valley, where there was previously
enough moisture to cause the grain
to sprout. Seeding was possible
only in the afternoon, owing to the
ground being frozen in the morning,
but considerable progress was mace.
Wheat seeding In some sections is
practically finished. In others from
one-halr to three-fourths of the crop
has been sown, but In few scattered
localities this work is still very back
ward. In parts Of the Red river val
ley, some early sown wheat Is sprout-
ing. Some complaint. is made of
early sown wheat rotting, and it
will have to be resown.
Oats seeding is we'll under way in
some localities, and some Of this
work has been completed, while In
others it has either not yet started
or is just commencing.
Some fax has been sown, but this
work has not generally commenced.
Flowing for rye, barley and speltz Is
in prorgess, and a little seeding has
already been done. f&
The growth of grass has been great
ly retarded by the cold, dry weather,
and very few meadows show green at
all. .."

Farmers were blowing considerably
more than month ago. Steam
plcws are being used to advantage In

know OF having already contracted to
tdrn over 800 acres of virgin prairie
'with his steam plow. I venture to
sav that more steam plows have
been sold In the state this year than
ia all previous history of North
Dakota. One advantage of the
steam plow is that it may be set to
pillow the ground at any depth, and
deeper the better, especially In a dry
season. S,s}r% -
'sWe are bonud to have plenty of
rain and the delay ia It's coming has
given the farmers an opportunity to
do much more spring blowing than
usual. There is no trouble about
wheat being brought to maturity In
our state. The grave danger is that
the growing grain is sometimes SUBJ
feet 70 long seasons of hot dry winds.

kick ON Minnesota Wheat Grading.

Minneapolis Times: Complaints
regarding the manner ii which wheat
is graded at Minneapolis and Duluth
have been lodged with Governor
johnson. 1t was not known that
such complaints had been made until
Governor Johnson hastily called a
conference of all the members of the
state board of grain appeals whom he
could get together.
It is charged that the same wheat
which is graded No. northern at
Duluth is graded No. 2 northern at
Minneapolis and vice versa. 1t has
been suggested by Governor Johnson
that the members of the board OF
grain appeals alternate between
Duluth and Minneapolis in the hear
ing Of the cases appealed from the
decision Of the inspectors.
This precedure,i 1t is thought, would
equalize the grading of the wheat
between the two points and the deal
ers- OF neither city could then have
any complaint. --'.-
Those complaining against the
present system are all Minneapolis
shippers. Seven cars of grain we're
graded by the board at Duluth as No.
l northern, but when it reached Min
neapolis it was graded No.2 northern
by which the grain dealers lost $40.
1T is thought that If member OF
the Minneapolis board and a member
of the Duluth board could be present
at each others sitting occasionally,
that the procedure of the two boards
might be harmonized. It is under
stood that the Minneapolis grain
dealers have been dissatisfie! with
the discrepancies between the Duluth
boards grading and that Of the Min
neapolis board for some time.

jerseys career of trust making is
on the decline. The trusts have
abused her frailty, and discredited
her corporation laws. 'Such scan

cleanest corporations in the country,
the other a corporation lawyer of
national reputation. They said they
would furnish the facts If I would

were being wrecked Why we're they

Better knowledgs Of State.

Every years experience OF the re-
sources OF North Dakota. not only
in agricultural but also in other
lines, makes this state more attrac-
tive to the settler, while the popula-
tion already here finds the possible
titles far more amazing than were
understood even a year ago. Even
apparent reverses are found to be
blessings in disguise. Every loss
turns out to be smaller than expected,
to be due not to.soil or climate con-
ditions, but 70 mistakes incident to
farming in: new country and easily
corrected. Every loss results in man.
ifold gain By revealing new methods
and resources of profitable work.
The people are just learning how
to utilize to the best advantage this
Incompatible soil.
Wealth and population are growing
in this state almost three times as
fast as In South Dakota. This north.
ern land is proving the land almost
above all others for those finer ele-
ments of civilization which can be
built upon property.
Many can remember when North
Dakota meant the Red River Valley,
everything to the west being re.
garded as unified to husbandry.
Now the whole interior from the
Red River to the Missouri is known
IA scarcely less productive than the
eastern tier of counties. The soil
to q considerable distance from the
valley Is Of essentially the same char
acter as that along the Red River. --

WALKING NOW IN VOGUE
English Habit of Professionalism is Tall

Americans are just beginning to learn
what the English people have known for

railroad travellers are in sympathy with its
