HumOr qne Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
PERT PARAGRAPHS.

Sometimes when a man has no
ground for divorce he endeavors to
rent his neighbors.
When you smile at trouble. It some
times takes that as an invitation.
The wrinkles IN our faces are rarely
caused by the hard work we do.
An ounce OF prevention may be worth
pound OF cure but a pound OF cure
is worth a small fortune.

T. K. Moore, wife and daughter Of
New Paris. Ohio, are the guests Of
Mr.. Moore's sister, Mrs. D. H. Fun
derberg Of Surrey. Mr.. Moore told
an Independent representative that he
was surprised at the good qualities OF
North Dakota which have to be seen
in order to be appreciated. and was e.
pecially delighted with hustling Minot.
He is successful farmer, living on
eighty acres of fine land in Ohio. from
which he sells q thousand dollars
worth Of stock a year, mostly hogs.
Mr.. Moore was surprised to learn
that North Dakota farmers could also
raise hogs, by feeding them ground
speltz and macaroni.

short siphtsd Policy.

Senator Hsnsproagh shas certainly
earnsd,a reputation fo1 being bulli
headed. Leaving out the question
whether he Is right or wrong, he In
dulges a spirit OF revengful feeling
&c against all Of those who do not
agree with him, and he has become
SO foolish that he goes to the extreme
Of ignoring .perspnal friends and &C:
quaintances. because they do not bow
to his, dicta. The senator Is, adding to
his unpopnlarity every day by, his ar
,rogant manners in many instances.
The editor, of this paper has a great
deal of respect for the senator, and
has admired q great many things he
has done in the past. but cannot but
notice the fact that he rs making a
fool Of himself. to put it in plain, I'M
vanished English, by playing the
offended boy 40 to a, great~many mat
tiers. A United States senator ought
to be above ouch poor judgment; and
should have his temper under better
control. He among other foolish
things has had, the land Offices of the
state deprive. the newspapers which
fcriticise him Of land office notices
tho, the land Offices, can hardly be
considered his !, private, property.
Among the papers thus personally
treated are the Mipot. Independent
and the Reporter, the. Leeds News
and Rolla Herald. .Anys paper that is
willing to stultfy itself even to the
extent of keeping still about the SEN
ator's record, is considered "a good
republican," whether its politics be
democrat or republican, but the IN.
slant one says anything about that
worthy gentleman that doesn't agree
with him may look for his disfavor.-

puvALL HOME FROM CUBA

r. W. Duvall returned Monday from
"a trip through the south. His. wife
is now visiting friends in Boston.
Mi" Duvall was absent several months
and enjoyed himself thoroughly. He
spent several weeks in Cuba and
talks Of the Island in an Interesting
manner, He says that there is some
good land in the Island, but much OF
it poor, and it is not safe to make an
investment without going there your
self to. see what you are buying. The
growing of sugar cane-is one OF the
principal industries. on the Island. and
this, seems to be done, the most sue
.cessfully. on the level portion of the
island. People from the states are a
little afraid to invest in Cuban propo.
sitions because the .spaniards are
more than likely to !, get IN control

In Florida, Mr. Duvall visited the
great orange orchards, which are just
getting back to where they were be-
fore the big freeze of eighteen years
ago. Money can be made from the
orange industry, tho there is grave
danger Of losing the entire crop by
frosts. The oranges are best preserv
ed on the trees, and are picked just
as needed. Twice while. Mr.. Duvah
was in, Florida the orange growers

STORM AT mANDAN

There was small cyclone Monday
night at Mandan that did consider
able damage to buildings and trees.
Several large trees were blown down
and a caboose attached to train
crossing the N. P. railroad bridge
was blown from the track and the
roof taken off by the force of the
wind. The big steel bridge itself
was in no wise injured it being of
too solid and substantial construc-
tion to be affected by any cyclonic
disturbance, that has ever occurred
in. this part OF the country. The
damage done in Mandan was some
injury to the Inter-O Ocean Hotel, over
turning the dining room tables,
blowing down small brick building,
damaging a butcher shop and over
turning some sidewalk. Several
trees in Bismarck were blown down.
The caboose being wrecked on the
bridge tore the wires down and COM
munciation with Mandan was pre-
vented today.

DEEP AND SHALLOW FLOWING

In commenting upon one phase of
the crop conditions President j. II.
Worst Of the agricultural college
said:
"Seldom during recent years has
the traveller through the state been
able to. discern more clearly the
difference between good and bad
farming. Drouth and hot weather al
ways affect more seriously the grain
that was seeded upon improperly cul-
tivated ground. While there are many
poor fields Of wheat in different sec
.tions Of the state yet in the midst of
these badly damaged farms may be
seen some good fields of grain with
only roadway or section separating
them.
'sDeeply plowed ground which has
been thoroughly dragged before seed
ing seems able to stand week or ten
days more punishment from lack of
moisture than shallow ploWed land
that has had but little dragging.
ssThe farmer that turns a fourteen
inch furrow with fourteen inch plow,
blowing at depth of six inches, and
dragging the ground two or three
times before and after seeding, and
who has been paying some attention
to rotation Of crops and has manured
his land regularly, has nothing to
fear from this years drouth. No
part Of the work Of seeding a field
pays such big dividends as the one or
two. extra draggings given the
ground, even if dragged once or twice
after the wheat is UP and well stooled
out. The latter applies more partic-
ularly to the drier sections of the
state.''
