The "Diversified" Farmer.
Shreveport Journal:

Shreveport journal:
This is the season of the year when
the farmer returns home after a visit
to the trading center, almost empty
handed. The children do not crowd
joyously round to inspect the unwont-
ed Injuries that are always brought
home on market days, turning the
plenteous days that come as a Sc
ouence to the harvest time. The house
mother feels obliged to curtail some
of the table dainties, with the GER
tainty that no more may be produced
until the harvest moor shines again.
To the farmer himself it is the pes
simistic time of the year, when he
ponders over his scant supply OF du-
cats and the poor array of
and decides that a farmer leads a
dogs life anyway.
Now in some states, where farming
Is followed as a rather more sclentl-
6c vocation than in Louisiana, this is
the time when the rotund, hail and
hearty agriculturist, whose success
has rendered him capable of almost
approximating the position OF the old
time country gentlemen, takes a sat
isfed glance at harness and granaries,
containing secure reenforcements in
the shape OF a portion Of the plethora OF
the harvests, at fat swine and pOrkers
shaking their well filled sides and

men are" as for instance his school
mate who is a lawyer, with an expen
siye house and family to keep up, OF
another, a dealer in dry goods, who is
staggering under a mortgage witt
hundreds Of dollars out on credit, thai
he cannot recall.
Our friend, the farmer, on the con
trary, has a neat system of banking al
his own. Some fine two-year-old steers
provide fresh meat for his W family
and bring in a gratifying sum of ready
money besides. The sleek porkers
are ready to market to the same ad
vantage. There is also a poultr.
house fitted up with an incubator
which will be supplying tender broil
ers to the towns people at a late
date.
Knowing well that the price of ha,
and feed stuffs is ire to rise in tn
spring, he has prepared to supply tn
extra demand, which paves the way t
another source of income. He has ais
arranged to have fresh mich COW
from which he can make from IL to 1

Elephant Turned of Water.

julie. one of the elephants at the
Central park zoo in New York, gave a
clever demonstration the other day OF
the wisdom of her tribe. There is a
hydrant just outside of Jules cage
and until Saturday it had been fitted
with a round handle to turn on and
off the flow of water. On Saturday
William Walker, the o plumber, fit
ted a new spigot or the hydrant and
put it on a permanent T-shaped handle.
julie carefully examined the handle
several times Sunday. She looked 1t
over again, and after much fumbling,
turned it and produced a flow OF
water. Then she put her trunk under
the stream, filled it and drank copi'
ously. What pleased Keeper Snyder
more than anything else was that she
carefully turned off the flow Of water
after drinking.

Reed Receivers Stolen Horse
Arrested Farmer Christianson at Ambrose Who
is Charged with Concealine Stolen Property
--Ment Thru Minot to WilIiston Monday

John Reed has located the horse
which was stolen from him last
spring by young McVey, six miles
southeast of Ambrose. The animal
was sold by McVey to a farmer nam
ed Black, it is said, who in turn dis
posed Of it to o. N. Chritianson. Reed
went to Ambrose and located his
horse, but Christianson would not
give up the animal, saying that he
had paid $135 for it and that he would
have to be recompensed before he
would part with the horse Reed,
seeing that there would be trouble
before he got his horse, came back to
Minot, and went to Williston, where
he swore out warrant for Christ
ianson, who was charged with con-

cealing stolen property. The man
was arrested, and was taken thru
Minot to Williston Monday. Reed
says that as soon as he left Ambrose,
Christianson became alarmed and
started for Montana with the horse.
where he hoped to trade the animal
with the man from whom he purchas-
ed it, for another, and thus save him
the price of the animal. Reed says
the horse has been worked hard and
looks thin.
It appears that a good many of the
horses stolen in Minot were disposed
of to gang of farmers in the vicinity
of Ambrose, and they are likely to
answer to some serious charges be-
fore they are thru with it.
