Threshing by Electricity.

Fred Koester witnessed an
unusual spectacle while over
in Manitoba last week-thresh-
ing by electricity. The power
was transmitted from the pow
er house in Brandon to the
farm, about seven miles out, on
wires strung on the telephone
poles, which wires were tapped
at the farm each time the
threshing machine moved and
the tap wires were carried out
to the machine on poles act in
the field at different places on
the farm. Telephone wires are
also carried out, so that the
machine was in constant tele.
phonic communication with
the city.-Cando Herald.

(. BIG FARMS TO GO.

J. II. Carter, superintendent
OF the bonanza Keystone farm,
in Belford township. has an
nounced his intention of resig-
ming his position with the close
OF the present season, aud it 10
reported that the big farm will
be placed on the market for
sale in small lots. In disposing
of the bonanza farm Mr.. ZONES
is but following the example of
the other big farm owners of
the county. It is evidently the
experience of all bonanza farm
ers that even with good aver
age grain yields the enormous
expense of help, machinery,
horses, ETC., eats up most of the
profits. With a small farmer
on every quarter or half section
of the big farm there will be a
considerable increase in the
trade territory of Hankinson.-
Hankinson News.
We have heard a rumor to
the effect that the Adams farm
was to be also sold off in quar-.
ter section lots.

SHOT AT.

This morning about 2:15
O'Clock, two young men, who
have been working here during
harvest and threshing were at
the depot waiting for the train
to take them home, were taken
a shot at by some one. The
young men were leaving the
waiting room to go out on the
platform, just as they were
going out the door two shots
were fired by some one on the
outside, the bullets taking eff
feet in the decreasing within
a few inches of the young men.
The shooting is a mystery as
the action of the shooter could
hardly mean a hold-up. Some
think it was done by some per-
son who had it in for the young
men, others thinks it might
have been intended for the
night agent. There is no tell
ing who the shots were intend
ed for, but the young men had
a very narrow escape and they
were terribly frightened over
the occurrence. - Fairmount

ANOTHER CALLER,

This Office had disting nguish-
ed caller the other day in the
person of U. v. Robbins, high
Sheriff of Richland county this
State. He had gumbo on his
heels and wheels in his hat,
and his actions would cause a
person to think that he had
swallowed a whole blind pig
without greasing, or had rats
in his belfry, he was loud and
noisy, and no doubt had corn
knives in his boots and a ozark
er" under cover. Yes this high
Sheriff wanted to impress on
US that he was the toughest
guy on the pike, and swore
vengeance against US because
we printed the following in our
last issue:
"The blind pigs at Hankinson
and Lidgerwood were raided
last week by the sheriff and his
deputies and closed up. We
have been assured repeatedly
by the officials that if furnished
the papers the places of blind
piggers in this county would
be closed with a snsp but we
have it on good authority that
some of the papers served last
week we're dated as long ago as
last February. To the ordinary
person there is nothing very
snappy about that. Is there?"
You must remember that Mr..
Robbins was elected on that
Simon-pure, God-and- Morality
ticket, and a little article like
the above is very CALLING to
such Cody people. We would
advise him to lay in a supply
=, of wormwood, as the Times is
still doing business at the old
stand.

the yields here turned out good.
Waeat, 10 to 30 bu. per acre;
oats, 35 to 65 bu; barley, 80 to

corn-well, I'd better listen.
hear your readers cay: Go back!
Go back with cornl Only in
Iowa can we raise corn'-I cay,
too, listen! Corn from 10 to 30
bu. to the acre. People here do
not understand raising corn as
ours in Iowa, but there are
some farmers here from Iowa
and Illinois and they produce
as good corn, 1 say as GooD
corn, as in Iowa. Had 1 not
seen it. l would not claim it.
I've seen the big, white dent
corn as good and large as any
of ours in Iowa. Don't Say I
am stretching this. Come up!
1t don't cost. you your farm, and
it you don't believe it, call your
self a -.
This thing of standing on
corners and dabbing in in every
argument. and disputiug, say
ing it is impossible, don't 90.
Not by any means! Further,
I've seen fine fruit raised here,
apples that would measure ls
inches around. Think of North
Dakota! I also seen better
vegetables raised than we raise
in Iowa, very fine potatoes and
cabbage, just the thing for a
Dutchman, pumpkins weighing
80 to 100 pounds, beets weigh.
ing 16 to 20 pounds. 1 could
give you a long list, just simply
everything grows here. Any
one can see as good, and I'll cay
better. timothy grown here
than in Iowa. Also clover does
fine. There happened to be in
the Exhibit building some men
from Illinois, who came out
frank and said: 1T just beats
old Illinois all to pieces Jus,
think of it! Of course, this
county is we'll adapt1d for hold
ling this name, for Il certainly
is a Rich Land country.
And now think of it! Fine
farms here that will produce
all of this, can be had at from
$40 to $50 per acre, aud the
writer also has many othe,
lands as good for $40 to $25 pc,
acre, and can offer same or
almost any terms or can delive,
same on the crop payment plan
Do not delay, but investigate
now, as these prices change
Two years ago these same
lands were selling at from S.
to $40 per acre.

the most suitable place for the boathouse
The ground is to the east of TIE Auueduct

preliminary arrangements for benefit the

gave way to their homeless guests
Several contractors have already anxious
Iy submitted plans for the club house. and
when built it is to be entirely modern
throughout with every Improvement and
perfection.
Manager Gelpi and Assistant Manager
Hayes are considering sending their second
crew TO the American Henley on May 81 to
meet crews from Harvard, Pennsylvania
and Cornell. Although this trip cannot be
said TO be definitely settled yet the man
ayers have sent such satisfactory encour-
agement to the stewards of the Henley that
they are using Georgetowns name as a
very probable entrant. Should they go to
Philadelphia and do well there it would
probably be great thing for Georgetown
crew, since then the colleges graduates
who are very numerous in the Quaker city,
would gladly come forward to help sustain
aquatics at the university.

ever handled.
