LARGE POTATO.

Bismarck Tribune: Being truthful
man, Alderman Mckenzie will be be-
lieved. While digging murphies in his
garden with horse scraper yesterday.
when the scraper struck something
solid, throwing Mac clean over the
horses. On investigating the cause of
his aerial trip Mac found the scraper
had stuck what he thought at first was
a big rock, but which proved, on closer
inspection to be a mammoth potato.
The roots of the tuber so large they had
to be chopped off with an ak and it re-
quired an hours hard work on the part
of the sewer crew, whom he called to
his assistance, to get the potato out of
the ground and into the cellar, where it
will furnish Irish stews for tie family
for several months to come Mac re-
grets the discovery was not made earlier
so the potato could have beed sent to
swell the travelling state exhibit in
charge of Jim Marshall This is pro-
badly the largest potato harvested in
the state this year.

about to be established connecting
Ryder with Garrison, by the way of

connecting Minot with the 500 railroad
at it's terminus at Garrison by stage as
we'll as by mail route.
The threshing machine whistles are
being heard in all directions and soon
we will see our crops transferred from
the stacks to the we'll filled granaries,
and consequently we'll filed purses.
1t is pleasure to note the progress
being shown at the new town of CARR
son, the terminus of the 500 road.
Banks being organized and started,
several elevators are in course OF con-
struction, stores butcher shops, no
doubt it's compliment of blind pigs We
think the people of Garrison have in
contemplation the county seat of the
new county to be organized by divid-
ing Mclean county. But they are in
the wrong place. We are going to
swipe two townships off Ward county
adjoin.rg us, and make our county seat
at the junction of the N. P. and the
500 roads, a little farther west and
north, where will grow up new city
that will rival new Chicago.
That's our plan. Ward and Mclean
counties should not forget it.

5000 TRAINS.

Everywhere throughout the county
there is reported shortage ofcars and
elevators to handle the heavy crop of
grains raised this year. Wheat, fax and
oats are running heavy and there are
not enough cars obtainable to handle
the business. And this is not strange
condition when the farmers of this state
in a period Of forty five days present the
railroads with All average Of lOO,OD,00O
bushels of grain. Think of it and fig
ure it out and it represents 5000 trains
of thirty-ive cars each and there is
little surprise that moving single N. D.
crop is gigantic task. The freight re-
ciepts are not less than s1O,OOO,OOO on this
crop, and the crops annually are increas-
ing very rapidly in magnitude.

Harvesting is nearly
at an end among us and fax is yet
standing but that will be finished next
week. Those who had hustle on them
are now reaping the benefit of two years
hard work. AS evidence of this are to
be seen the large stacks of grain on the
farms of Otis j. Marks, Fred Palmer,
the two Fishers, Mr. Pollock, Mr.. Kane,
Mr.. Hanlan, Mr. Moffet, Mr. Sutton and
others. I have been informed that at
least in one instance, it took more than
five pounds of Irvine to bind an acre of
grain. The great stone piles on some
farms, reminds US that it takes some
thing besides a breaking pillow to
improve our farms. But our stone piles
speak volumes for our soil, the stronger
our lands the better our crops, ] believe
will be clearly demonstrated as the
years go by.

Increased steam Flowing.

DR.. Geo. w. Sease from Milan re-
ports eight or ten steam plows In OPP
Grafton In the immediate vicinity Of
Milan. phese steam plows are run by
traction threshing machine engines and
consists OF gangs of from eight to
sixteen plows. II is claimed that much
better blowing can be done in this
manner than with teams, because the
plows run smoctlier and stay in the
ground better and more evenly. Be-
sides, a farmer can have his blowing
done when he wants II. while the
ground is in proper condition. And It
costs even less to pillow by steam than
with teams. More and more of this
knid of blowing is being done each
year and the probabilities are that
within a few years practically all the
blowing done in Sumner county, win
be done by steam.
