Total Value of all property 1898. 22O
A deal was made here Tuesday
whereby two of our business houses
changed hands. Theo. Hopperstad has
sold his restaurant business to Erick
Albertson. They began invoicing
yesterday, and he will take possession
at once. Theodore has built mp good
business here, and we are sure the
new proprietor will be able to hold the
same amount of trade. On the same
day, Tuesday, a deal was also made
with A. Kaplan for the purchase of
his general store by Theo. Hopperstad
and Albert Bakken. Both of these
young men are well known here, and
also have many relatives as well as
friends in this vicinity. This store
has had good BUSINESS the past year,
and that the new firm which will be
known as Hopperstad and Bakken
will do we'll is foregone conclusion.
We understand Mr.. Kaplan intends to
go into business in Indiana, and that
he will do well there is the wish of
his many friends here. Mr.. Kaplan
has been connected with business in
Ridgeway for the past ten years, and
has i'll this time made many warm
friends here who will regret to see
him leave.

Advice to Hog RaiserS.

Every year there is more or less
trouble on the farm with narrowing
sows. AS result much advice has
been given as TO proper care and feed
ing. The most recent, believe, and
as far as my observation gees, the
most successful, way is to give the
sows plenty of field to run in. with
plenty of slop and oats, containing
small amount of flax. Several, in
Guiding T. Thompson, northeast of
DEBORAH, have tried this way of feed
ing and care this year with the most
happy results, losing no sows and
saving all the pigs. DR.. S. S. Whit
