OPPORTUNITIES FOR SMALL
FARMING.

1t is beginning to dawn on the man
in moderate circumstances that North
Dakota is the best place for him on the
earth.
The state has to some extent been
injured by the advertisements of
great farms, equal to an English
estate that have been sent out. They
have created the impression that all
the farming was on the same gigantic
scale, and that the man who could
only hope to own a small tract of land
would have no more show of doing
business than man without money
would have of operating in Wall
Street.
There are places where man may
by investing in few acres, get a
larger return than he can bear if the
marketing is not considered.
With ten acres devoted to truck
farming in the south a small fortune
could be realized in few years if the
products could be put into the market
without loss or damage This, how
ever, is impossible.
The vegetables which must neces-
sarily be raised are all of perishable
character, and to realize good prices
they must be gotten into market in
prime condition. This means that
they must be rushed for only short
time intervenes between maturity and
consumption.
Rapid transportation means high
freight rates and cold storage facili-
ties.
These eat up the profit on the crop.
The grower cannot store his crop in
bins and wait his convenience for
marketing. He must market at ma
turity or not at all.
1t is therefore evident that the only
way to successfully engage in this
work is to do so on a scale large
enough to put the grower in control
of shipping facilities, so that he may
ship in large quantities and without
waiting for part of the consignment
to ripen while the other part is in
ir,rod hSy 1T
For this reason the small grower is
practically shut out of the business in
the south.
The same conditions are true in the
fruit growing regions, except that the
long wait for trees to reach the fruit
producing stage will send the average
man to the poor house by fast freight.
In North Dakota he can turn every
day in the year into money as labor
er, and on small farm, the cash pay
ment Of which is no more than the
cost Of his ten or twenty acres in a
FOOLS paradise. he can raise a crop
which he can store in bins and, like
all wine, 1t becomes better with age.
He suffers no loss from the perish
able character Of his crop and It COM
mands q cash market every day in the
year. "
There i no better place In the world
4 for the man Of small means than
North Dakota. K

IntrIcacies Of the Language.

A story which illustrates the diff

endeavoring to master the English
language, is told of Frenchman who
was guest at the English Alpine
club. This Frenchman said enthusiast

man, with calves as big as barrels:
"Ah, you have climbed re Matter

A Sharples Tubular

meeting of Captain ConneIl, an old
friend of schoolboy days and comrade
during the civil war, both having en-
listed and served together. Their last
previous meeting was in Fort Reno in
1885, and it is not surprising that the
time at their disposal for reminiscent
communion was entirely too brief
Another gratifying incident was OF
an official nature. General McCaskey
is now commanding the department of
Texas, with headquarters in San An
tonic. and is in temporary command of
the southwestern division with head
quarters at oklahoma City. Okla. He
was therefore the central figure in the
recent encampment at Camp, Mabry
where the Arizona nation guard wen
the compliments of the encampment
officers for its exemplary department
and fine military bearing. Not the
least pleasing incident of yesterday was
the meeting of General McCaskey with
the territorial officials and Adjutant
General LeavelI and others of the local
military organization.
General McCas1ey expressed himself
as highly pleased with Arizona, the
improved conditions at Fort Whipple
and the attractiveness of this valley at
present, as well as its evidently prom
Using future.

SQUIRREL BEAT THE LIGHTNING.


The red squirrel is a lively. destruc
tive and pestiferous wretch. There is
no other animal of his inches so full
of the devil.
Old Tom Weaver used to tell a story
that we'll illustrates the impishness of
the red squirrel. one day he was out
in the edge of the clearing when he
heard a red squirrel chattering,
screaming and whistling for all he was
worth. Weaver soon located him in
the tip top of a tall cottonwood tree
He was in high glee twisting and turn
ing and audaciously defying the whole
world
4 thunderstorm was approaching
and soon out of a dark cloud bolt of
lightning made directly for the tree
top where sat the squirrel. The red
imp evidently saw it coming and he
darted down the tree with the light
ming after him. 1t was nip and tuck
as to which would get down first
When within three OF feet of the
ground the squirrel gave a spring and
landed some distance from the foot of
the tree. The lightning went straight
into the ground.
"Chitter-r-r," said the squirrel. you
didn't catch me that time. New York

Lindsey Cooke was all insurance agent in New Haven to within Il short time ago.

Cooke then came to Waterbury and the fact |ethat his license was withdrawn did not prevent lMm from continuing busi- ness hero. Italians were his prilcipal clients and he claimed to represent lile Continental Casualty Co of New Ha. ven. According to report. he was do; ing great business. charging $1 for whnt the company charged SJ. But he went the company one better. He was satisfied with collecting on the time payment system whereas the company always required the full amount Town. He delved into accident insurance also and his average policy was for 1900 to $400 ct death and in case of acci- dent from $1O to $3O a week. On these figures he did a great business and the home office of the Continental woa- dered why business fell off. Inquiries led to Cooke's operations and his ar rest in consequence. The case was called in the city court this morning before Judge Burpee. but Prosecutor Meigs was not ready to proceed and it was continued to tomorrow morning under ball of S2O0. Cooke is charged with acting as an insurance agent without having license to do so.
