1t would be rude, unjust and un-
safe to claim that Norway Lake
harbors blind pig. Never the
less it is safe to say that judging
by the roofing the country is infest-
ed with some kind Of an animal
which has a very close resemblance
to pig. But those who claim to
be experts at the analyzing of the
atmosphere lay it to a skunk, so to
Judge by this it is evidently speci-

From Rhame, n. D.

Rhame, N. D.. Sept. 5.-Thresh-
ing has now begun around Rhame,
and the yields Of different grains is
most satisfactory. The following
clipping from the Rhame Review
Of Aug ..26. may be Of interest to
our Kandiyohi county relatives and
friends:
The Hanson thresher moved
down to c. F. Garbush's farm last
Friday, and Saturday threshed out
a field of oats for him, which
turned out 70 bushels to the acre.
A small field Of barley was also
threshed, and it yielded about IS
bushels to the acre. Monday and
Tuesday the same rig threshed for
Elliot & Lamb, 38 acres Of blue
stem wheat, Oil bushels, or "a
bushels to the acre. This wheat
was tested and would grade No. l
Northern. It weighed 81 pounds to
the bushel. Nineteen acres of oats
they had on Jim Lindgren's home
stead turned out 937 bushels. or q
little less than 50 bushels to the
acre. Their barley made IS bushels
per acre. These are all the fields
that have been threshed in this
vicinity, and would certainly show
that this has turned out to be a
pretty fair farming country"
Flax has not been threshed yet
but we also expect good yielt
from that.

In an interview with D. N. Tall
man regarding his great sale Of
live stock at Minnesota State Fair
the Tribune learned that all the an
imals taken down were disposed of
at the sale.
The Shorthorn sale was satisfac-
tory as % head were sold for
$2300.0O, averaging little over
$4,000 per head. The Hereford
sale was somewhat disappointing as
they averaged only $65 per head
but the Percheron horse sale was
more than satisfactory as IA head
brought S., 76O, averaging $412
each.
In this horse sale is a good illus
tration of what could be done, in
fact, what has been done in the
breeding of horses. Having pur-
chased a ten year old mare five
years ago, that was, in fact, a little
undersized for a Percheron and
