A good and true story il told
OF a farmer who does not reside
more than forty miles from Park
River. He bucklpd on to the no
ton that he could accumulate
more property by purchasing
most OF his stuff from Chicago
catalogue houses. When his wife
wanted a gasoline stove he sent
to Row, SAwbuck 4 Co. and got
II catalogue. Selecting II stove
from the fine illus;rs' tons, a
stove that suited his better half,
he ordered it sent C. .. ID. When
it arrived he paid his money, aud
took the stove home, supposing
that it was like the gIittering de-
scription in the catalogue. The
next day the farmer, with blood
in his eye, drove up to the sta
ton with the stove, which he de-
posted on the platform. He
next made a demand for his
money, saying that the stove
was no good, and that the tank
leaked already. He was Inform
ed that his coin had been sent to
Sawbuck 4 Co. as per request,
and that he would have to go to
the Windy City If he wanted his
money back. He left the stove

Two maiden sisters living
peacefully in the state Of New
York we're entertaining some
North Dakota relatives. They
were quite home bodies, indulg-
ing in no more violent exercise
than sewing carpet rags and
putting out the cat. They may
have occasionally looked over
the fence and noted that their
neighbors had hung nut more
clothes than they had washed.
If they mentioned these things it
was in a quiet tone of voice which
didn't get into the telephone on
the weekly paper. Dakota was
known to them as a place where
potatoes had to be caught in
traps and cows broke to give
milk. Speaking OF the wants of
the dining room table one Of the
old aunts said she supposed it
was hard to get butter, cream
and eggs. She then hastily cor
rected the last item by saying:
ooh! l know you have no trou-
BILE in getting eggs, you have so
mahy prairie chickens. "-Graf-
ton Record.
A good device for watering
hogs consists of a sled large
enough to hold a barrel. On
this is placed a strong, water
tight floor with sides about four
inches high. Bore a large hole
in the head of the barrel to be
used when filing with water and
provide it with good wooden
plug. Now bore a half inch hole
in the side about three inches
from the bottom and the rig is
ready for use. Plug up the bot
tom hole and fill with water.
Then drive in the large plug at
the top 80 as to make it air
tight. The sled can be drawn to
the pasture and left in the shade
or near the shelter pens and the
small plug removed. The water
will run out in the box around
the bottom of the barrel to the
level of the small opening. The
hogs have plenty OF room to
drink ut the four corners and
fresh water will come down as
fast as they drink it.

IOWA SEED CORN WEEK.
The Department of Agricultural Ex-
tension of the Iowa State College
urges every farmer of the state to OBJ
serve seed corn week, the first week in
October.
If every ear of corn that is to be
used for seed in Iowa next year could
be harvested this fall not later than
October 9TH, and hung up where it
would dry out thoroughly before the
freezing nights of October, Novem-
Der and December have weakened or
killed it, it would add millions of
dollars to the wealth of Iowa.
Do not wait until the time of husk-
ing to save the occasional good ear.
Much of the seed corn planted in
The spring is bad not because it was
not cared for during the winter but
because it was selected when the corn
was husked and had already been
killed or weakened by freezing.
Twelve to fifteen ears will plant
an acre. Gan we afford to leave these
ears in the field until we husk the

ears from the most vigorous stalks,
strip off their husks, tie them into

where the circulation of the air is

and December. On the 300, 900 Iowa
