account of the weather conditions
which prevail, selling in the city at 81

Wholesale Butter Market.
Creamery butter took an unexpected
squirt this morning and raised to 2Skc,
jump of one cent per pound. The
local market has been steadily raising
at one and two cent jumps ever since
the warm weather struck the country.
and it is thought that 1t has now
reached almost the maximum. The
market in the city is governed by the
quotations of the Spokane people, the
raise being due to the scarcity of the
product in the vicinity. Butter fat is
this morning quoted at 26hc per
pound, a raise of a cent along with the
butter.

Successful Berry Kaisers

During the last week so many per-
sons around this county have tod the
writer of their success with straw
berries that the wonder grows why so
many of us neglect to provide our
families with abundance o. this lus-
cious fruit. The eminent horticultur-
lists who gathered last week at Groton
all agreed that the Senator Dunlap is
the best all around berry to plant. 1t
is an exceptionally strong grower,
hardy, productive, very sweet and is
a perfect plant. 1t is being almost
exclusively grown at the North Dako-
ia agricultural college. Strawberry
plants are sold by reliable nurserymen
in our own state, only one days run
by express distant from us at 81 per
hundred or Sc per thousand. They
dig them from the ground just before
shipment and can be secured in the
best of order. Two or three neighbors
clubbing together could get them at
Thousand rate, go cents per hundred,
and save something on express. A
third of a thousand plants will set
four rows over so feet long, a pretty
good patch.

Cement Fence Posts

Last week in this column mention
was made of cement..fence posts in re-
lation to the bulletin issued by the
agricultural department. In the
last number of Wallaces' Farmer in
regard to to such posts the following
appears: A great many concrete posts
have been put in use in the west dur
ing the past two years. In some coun-
ties they have been used for a good
many years. Wallaces' Farmer gave
directions for making.such posts four
or five years ago. Different firms now
manufacture molds which they have
patented and which they sell, together
with the farm right. The patents on
these cover the methods. Of fastening
the wire to them. All cement posts
should be reinforced by wire running
the long way of the post. Some use
four fence wires, one in each corner
of the post; others use three wires,
arranged in the form of a triangle
and held in position by fiat pieces of
metal. Some are making posts with
a larger percentage of cement at the
point where the greatest strain comes
in practical fencing, that is, at the
surface of the ground.

Farm Mutual Insurance

A large number of farmers in this
county are paying out to insurance
companies a lot more money than
they need to pay for insurance against
loss by fire and lightning, and very
many more. are drifting along without
any insurance at all, a thing they an
not afford to do. In a number of
counties in this state the farmers have
organized their own insurance COM
panies, thereby securing protec-.
tion against loss by fire and lightning
not only to their buildings but their
live stock at a rate so low that it
seems incredible. The experience Of
the county mutuals in this state is
that q very small proportion Of losses
incurred results from fire not caused
by lightning. The Union county
company. carrying over three million
dollars risks, sustained this last year
ls326s losses, s26O5, five sixths OF it,
caused by lightning. or this latter
amount $3.50, 2 quarter Of the entire
losses, Was paid on loss of livestock.

Old Ned started and cast an injured,
reproachfui glance back at his mis-
tress.
There, Neddy; there!' she apollo
gized. ~ didn't really mean to strike
YOU. but I'm that worried in mind
what are we going to do, with. Your
young master gone, I'd like to know.
She gazed with wet eyes acros the
meadow, where the young master,
her only child. and she a widow, was
at work with the hired man. lie
waved his hand in response to her sig
nal, and her grief overlooked, antici-
patlng the blank loneliness that would
be hers when the far west had swai-
lowed up her boy, victim OF a girls
weakness and her fathers obstinacy.
"Oh, why did he set his heart upon
that spirit1ess Lizzie Clark when there
are so many girls just as pretty and
every bit as good?" she groaned.
She had put the question to her son,
and he had answered by a look only,
but a look that somehow entirely pre-
