No lives were lost.
The flames started in barn in the
rear of the Irwin hotel. The fire
spread to the hotel and the structure
was RACED to the ground. In turn the
high wind carried burning cinders and
sparks to the livery barn, pool hall,
general store and were only stopped
at the office of the North Dakota Rec

In the pending political campaign
the democracy of the state is pledged
to the correction Of these abuses, and
restoration to the people of their
freedom of political action, and their
protection in rights and privileges

There is nothing that our people
have more clear right to demand
of those in control of their state gov

Eencino the Earn.

1t costs little money to divide and
subdivide a farm by fencing with a
good fence, and a good woven wire
fence is about as good as al be built.
1t pays the cost and a good profit right
from the start for a farmer to have
the farm fenced so that he can keep
his stock at home and also to keep 9th
er peoples stock away. The farmer
can then work and not spend all his
time in running after his stock, re-
marks Il writer in Farm and Fireside.
In many localities the old rail fence
which has rotted down can be used
for firewood or built into Il fence Oh
some part of the farm where the good
fence is not quite so important. The
rail and board fences harbor weeds,
are subject to decay and are very ex-
pensive in the long run A good wo-
ven wire fence is clean and thoroughly
satisfactory. BY spending a few dol
lars for good fence the farm will in
crease in value, so that after all it is
a method of saving money.

SCOOP board as we uSe-One i'll posi-
ton for use and the other secured
against the end of the box and Serv-
ing as an end gate. From these draw
ings can be gained a clear idea as to
it's construction, so that any nan with
a hammer and a saw, nails and q cou-
pie of pieces of chain can make Il for
himself. In requires but little lumber,
and enough for the purpose may usu-
ally be found lying unused about the
buildings.
The depth Of the scoop should be six
or eight inches more than the height
of the wagon box and wide enough so
that the sides will just pass over and
fit snug against the sides Of the box.
The chain may be fastened, rs indi-
Gated, to pieces nailed as cleats on the
bottom of the scoop, but we find 1T
better to have the chain pass %continu-
ously from side around under the
box to the opposite side. This gives
added support to the scoop when down.
and the greatest weight is on it.
Heavy staples, large enough to 10
ceive a second link fastened with an
iron pin, as shown in the second cut.
should be carefully clinched or bolted
through the wagon box.
From the ''hinge" a bar is bolted I"
the bottom of the box. extending two
or three inches on either side, over
which the end of the scoop side board
is set, the board being followed out to
receive the bar, as is shown, the bar
being rounded at that point to allow it
to work free and firm in turning Zip
and down.

H RATHER.
II Rarely Sounds Its Note Of Warning
Until Attacked.

Contrary to the general belief, the
RATHER rarely gives its characteristic
note of warning until actually attack
ed. In fact. the sharp. vibrant ring Of
it's terminal appendage is probably de-
signed more to assist this very slug
gish serpent to obtain it's food than to
sound defiance or warning. In the
first place. serpents possess but the
most documentary traces Of auditory
apparatus and are practically deaf. the
deficiency in the sense of hearing be-
ing compensated for by an extreme
se]nsitiveness of feeling which makes
them aware of the approach of moving
objects by the vibration of the ground.
Hunters, treading cautiously upon a
soft carpet of moss or leaves to avoid
alarming game, will often step close
to or over a RATHER without disturbing
it or receiving warning. and while
many snakes arc seen and killed by
them it is probable that a far greater
number are passed by unnoticed. All
snakes are timid and would rather run
than fight. and the RATHER is not invit-
ing certain destruction by advertising
Its whereabouts in the brush.-Francis
Metcalfe in Outing Magazine.

The Spleen as Food.

In France and Italy many persons
eat the spleen, what we call in French
"ratte." l have eaten it myself. Cen
orally from a pig it weighs about eight
ounces, and it is situated on the right
side of the pig, touching the liver. A
spleen from a COW or bull weighs
about two pounds, but is a little more
spongy than the pigs spleen, which is
the best. If some one should start the
fashion we would after awhile pay Is
cents a portion in first class restau-
rants, especially if some person of
mark should start the habit.-Chef Va
lere Braguehais in Letter to New York

CAUGHT THE THIEF.
An Incident Which illustrates Japanese
Detective Methods.

Recently in the village Of Tahara-
mura. Japan, all the male inhabitants
above the age Of fifteen years were as
sembled in front of the local Shinto
shrine at the call of the village chief.
A thief had been making depredations
in the local tobacco plantations, and
the chief sought to discover him. Out
lines of the feet of all the villagers
were taken on sheets of paper, and
then these We're compared with the
tracks left by the thief in the tobacco
fields. Nothing resulted from this ex-
pertinent. The next day the inhabit-
ants were called together again. A
great hole was dug in the ground, and
a raging charcoal fire was built in it.
All persons present were ordered to
walk through the fire b~arefooted. it
being declared that no person would
be burned except the guilty one. All
advanced to undergo the ordeal except
one, Shukichi Shibata. a man of evil
reputation. He declined to trust his
feet to the redhot Goals. Accordingly
he was arrested and oon confessed
his guilt.

WIMTERIHG CABBAGE.
Small Heaes, Properly Stored, Con.
tinue to Develop.

AihNS ~
One Of the simplest ways of keeping
cabbage is to store in an orchard or
some sheltered place, often alongside
a fence which has been made tight by
a liberal use of straw. The cabbages
are stored With their stems on and
are placed head down and rs close to-
gethcr as possible. TWO or three tiers
are often made, the heads OF the Sec
ond tier being placed between stems
Of the lower, and so on, the piles being
made of any width and length desired.
The whole is covered with leaves, salt
grass hay or straw and Il little SOIL,
rails, brush or litter. Small unsala-
Bile heads when stored in Ibis way in
November will continue to develop dur
ing winter and frequently sell as well
as any in February.
Packing In Burrows.
Small quantities may he stored by
blowing out two or three burrows ten
or twelve inches deep on a we'll drain
ed site and placing the heads with
their stems up as close together as
possible. Some prefer to lay them
but one or two thick, while others will
pile them up rwo to two and a half
feet high, bringing them to a point.
The pile is thcn covered with straw,
salt grass hay or a thin layer of straw
and thcu several inches of soil. They
are stored before freezing, and when
the soil covering them is frozen it
may be covered with strawy
or any other litter to keep the soil
frozen until the cabbages are needed
for sale.
Again, large quantities are stored in
cabbage houses. this being the best
way commercially for a large part of
the state.-New York Cornell Expert

Corn Selection.

A steady increase in the number of
ears per plant borne by Potter's Excel
sior sweet corn has resulted from Sc
lecting seed with that end in view.
In 1901, the fourth year of the exper-
iment, but the first one in which sutti-
GENTLY detailed records were kept to
show the percentages, only 80 per cent
of the plants bore more than n ear.
In 1905 80 per cent bore more than one
ear, the highest number from a single
plant being thirteen.
Selecting seed from the lower ear
produced on the stalk did not give as
good results as selection from the up
per ear, which is doubtless due to the
fact that such lower ears are often
poorly developed.-Rhode Island Ex-
pertinent Station.

Harold Hoplite looked up at the

"Why:"
"'CHuse YOU made sister cry"

Why didn't you say by-by and kiss

II will! Right now!'
And Harold fastened back to make
up the lovers quarrel.

sowinq Grasses and Grain.

Grasses or grain may be sown either
in September or October. Remember
that deep and thorough breaking pays
and that "each time you harrow the
land will add a hushel to the yield for
each acre." Try mixed grain and
grasses, then when your grain is taken
off the land the grass or clover will
come right along. Remember that
rap arctic grass. bur clover, red clo-
yer and vetch all grow in the winter
and all make good food for stock.
They all save corn, and corn is money.
If you have any to spare you can get
the money for it. So with the above
crops they all will bring money. :
