known Storlie township resident and
brother of John P. Borstad and Ole J..
Borstad. Death followed a lingering
illness of consumption for the cure of
which deceased has tried the climate of

without avail. He was a young man of
less than thirty-fve years and came to

Ont, it is learned that they care OK
%perienclng an unusually backward
spring over there. Some seeding had
been done at the time he wrote, May IA.
but there was no growth in the
ground. He remarks that here in North
Drkota we appear to be experiencing
the most backward season ever known,
but says that his knowledge of what
this country is capable o fsleads him to
urge that no farmershould allow the con
dition to deter him from putting in a
good big crop. Past experiences in
North Dakota having invariably
shown that late spring are followed by
favorable weather during the growing
and harvesting seasons.

Co. Supt B. E. Groom returning last
week from a visit to his farm near Fair
dale stated. that over half the wheat
crop sown on two quarter sections is up
above the ground. The growth this
spring may be considered something
almost phenomenal when the weather
conditions are given due consideration.

day for the sale of the Alex Cameron
48O acre farm east of town to a Mr.. J..
P. Burling, of Hope, N. D. the purchase
price being $25 per acre. The farm is

dition. The mother, Mrs. Newton, was

Chas. LaRocque, whose farm is about
a mile west of Olga took yesterdays
train for st. Paul, Chicago and James
town, Va. At the latter place he expects
to make quite an extended stay during
the progress of the exposition where he
will have on exhibition a working model
of a patent safety railroad switch device,
an invention which Mr.. LaRocque had
patented last January. Within the past
few weeks he has received offers from
several manufactures who are DESTROYS
of placing his invention on the market,
it having the endorsement of a number
of leading railroad men all over the
country. There is little doubt but
what the invention of the switch will be
the means of materially lessening the
frequency Of railroad accidents and
bringing wealth to the inventor.

counsel in a number of court cases IN
which affidavits of prejudice have been
filed.
Perhaps few of our readers are aware
that there lives in Cavalier county a
farmer who keeps no work horses, oxen
or mules, and yet very successfully
cultivates a quarter section farm. This
man diversifes his farming, and besides
the regular grain crops raises tame hay,
corn vegetables and fruit while his
favorite stock consist of sheep and
chickens. The cost of putting in his
crops of wheat, oats and barley this
spring, figured in hay in the stack on
the farm. has been one ton of hay for
each nine acres of crop, and the work
has not only been we'll and properly
I done, but was finished yesterday, May
22nd. What "horsey" farmer can COM
pare, or compete with this record of
time and economy.
