weeks visit to his folks at Roosevelt

at Heneman's. His father expects to
prove up on his claim in a short time
and move to Pembina for the winter.
Some light f"ost was observed on
Monday morning, but the thermometer
was not low enough for freezing. Con-
siderable late barley and fax are feeling
more comfortable for the hold-off. Gar
den stuff was not affected. Very favor
able weather for threshing so far this
week.

weeks visit with his folks at Smiley

friends will be pleased to learn.

w. b. Kelley of Neche and w. J
Burke OF Bathgate were in the city on
Saturday on legal business. They came
via auto-and returned four miles, then
happened to think they had forgotten
their supper. so they left the machine by
the side of the road and walked back,
finding an excellent appetite along the
way. After supper they returned-tak-
ing an expert with them.
A flock of about dozen honkers made
a detour over town early Sunday morn
ing, and disturbed the slumbering in
habitants by their "honk." They we're
the first of the Canadian goose family
heard since their flight last spring, and
were evidently brood from some marsh
to the east of here around looking for
feeding grounds. 1t made one feel that
in short month we will have cold
weather.

ing for preliminary work, promotions
and lesson assignments-and will then
be dismissed until Tuesday. The follow
ing is the roll of teachers e. T. Fitch,

cipal Grace Van Meter, Z and sth

f. @. Morris threshed 1866 bushels ma
chine measure of ''Lincoln" oats from
26 acres adjoining the townsite. They
will weigh "a pounds to the bush. !
which will bring the yield up to 1876
bushels or " bushels to the acre. He
will keep them for seed. w. B. Han
cock also has very fine field of selected
oats from two bushels of seed sowed last
yea ar which he expects will go at least
100 bushels to the acre. Everyone who
saw them growing said they were very
fine. He will sell the crop for seed. By
the way this shows the value of seed
selection which ought to mean much to
farmers. Perhaps there is no grain that
needs good seed more than oats, though
all grains and vegetables need the same.
Mr.. Hancock has furnished bushel Of
fine early Ohio potatoes for exhibition
at the Minnesota fair. The yield prom.
ises to be good for potatoes this year
Mr.. Hancock has farm that would pay
many of our farmers to visit. He is us.
ing lot of brains in his farming-and
brains make the best fertilizer.
