Mr. Smith has big pen of hogs,
which he will butcher as soon as the
weather will suit for saving meat. He
makes about a bale of cotton to the
acre on some of the land that was con-
sidered worn out when he went on the
farm; also from thirty to forty bushels
of corn to the acre. He then cuts fine
crop of peavine hay off of the same land,
blowing the pea stubble under, giving
it good coat of fertilizer Mr.. Smith
also raises a good sweet potato crop,
making from $50 to 400 bushels per acre,
worth rs cents per bushel. He also
raises large sugar cane crops, yielding
from 300 to 400 gallons of the finest
syrup per acre, for table use The mo-
lasses grown here is the finest in tho
country, being grown on light sandy
loan.
"Mr. Smith has bought his own stock
to cultivate the farm, and has bought
other tracts of land near his farm, which
he will get ready for use for next year.
He keeps large stock of fine hogs in
his pasture; he raises all his meat and
bread at home, and has good lot of
mich cows about his place and plenty
of corn, molasses, meat, lard and sweet
potatoes to run him for next year. He

Mrs. James Crooks, First ST., N w. American
Fork, Utah, says, Il had kidney complaint for ten
years or more. Sometimes a twinge darted through
the small of my back and Iofen became SO helpless
that was compelled to go to bed with my clothes
on. The attacks often lasted for days at time
and could not even stoop to put on my shoes.
My condition was certainly alarming. The secre-
tons from my kidneys were irregular in passage
and contained heavy sediment after standing l
causes and can therefore appreciate the merits
of a remedy that this disease. Doans
Kidney Pills lived up to the claims made for them
in my case and effected cure My kidneys were
restored to normal condition and my health
greatly improved" Statement given Aug. Ioo7.)
On Aug. "a 1902 Mrs Crooks interviewed
by one of our representatives and she said TT
gives me pleasure to reendorse Doans Kidney
Pills. They cured my backache and my health
is now good. Other members of my family have
taken this remedy with decided benefit"

The Legislature in Session.

The second session of the Mississippi
Legislature is grinding away at the pres
ent time, dispatching the business be-
fore it. 1t is generally believed that
about sixty days will be necessary to
get through with the business. The mem
bers express themselves as anxious to
expedite matters as fast as possible, Civ.
ing to each the time and attention that
its Importance demands, and get back
home.
A number of measures of Importance
to the agricultural, horticultural and
live stock interests of the state are be-
ing considered. Let it be hoped that all
worthy ones will be enacted into laws.
If as much favorable legislation to these
interests is enacted at this session as at
the last one, the farmers will have lit.
tie or no cause to complain.

J. r. Black. 1905 E. Sixth street, Topeka.
Kansas, says: In the spring of 1899 Doans
Kidney Pills brought me such great relief that
did not hesitate to make the fact known and give
this remedy my most earnest endorsement In
my statement ! said that for three years had
suffered from kidney complaint. had dull
grumbling ache across the small of my back that
greatly inconvenienced me when reaching and
straning in doing my work, An annoying kidney
weakness was also in evidence and it was out of
the question for me TO sleep we'll. In the morning
/ was ala tired out and it can be that
in bad shape. The use of Doans Kidney Pills
quickly and surely drove away these symptoms of
kidney complaint and l have since been in good
health
The foregoing statement was given in March
1905, and when Mr.. Black was interviewed on
Nov. IL, 1908, he said: Il have never had
return attack of kidney complaint and know that
my cure is permanent one. My faith in Doan's
Kidney Pills is stronger than ever.

Worth Emulating.
The following from Alderman, Miss.
is good record for an aged veteran and
a small boy:
"The farmers of this country can profit
by the example set by W. c. Coleman,
who lives three miles south of town.
He is living on place he settled when
he first came to this country, and which
would be considered by some as worn
out. Mr. Coleman is Confederate vet
eran, and is &c years of age, and while
this year was one of the worst for farm
ers in years, he, with the help of 12-
year-old boy, made and gathered three
bales of cotton and $50 bushels of corn
and other things in proportion. While
other farmers with richer lands are ship
ping corn in here from the Northwest,
Mr.. Coleman has it to sell. He works
each year to build up his land, looks
after the bitches and saves all his ma
nures, and lives at home. Mr.. Coleman,
one day this week, killed hog that
weighed 4Ss pounds, and has two young
mules to place on exhibition here on
Trades Day, which takes place on the
18th. What this old gentleman has done
this year, others could do each and every
year."
Corara1 - L. l..
have taken place in Mississippi during
the past few weeks, and if thorough
search was made as to starting point of
each affair, it would no doubt be found
in some slight infarction in the past that
little or no attention was paid to. Slack
enforcement and the belief that able law
yers and plenty of money can clear the
criminal are responsible for the greater
portion of the crimes committed in our
State.
Inc Importance of this matter demands
the attention of every man who would
see his county prosper and the sanctity
of his home protected. Small infractions
allowed to pass by are succeeded by
more serious ones. Teach it to the chill
dren and preach it to the older people,
that the law is supreme and must be
obeyed. The future prosperity and
greatness of Mississippi depends more
upon this than anything else.
The legislative committee of the
Farmers Union could no doubt secure
some valuable pointers by watching tho
tactics of corporations when their inter-
ests are in jeopardy. Every interest
heretofore has had representatives at
legislative sessions to look after them,
but not so the tanner. The Union real
lied this necessity and had such COM
mittee two years ago and another for
the present session. To this can be at
tributed a goodly portion of the favor
able laws enacted last session. The legis-
lator will generally do his best for the
agricultural interests If he knows what
is for the best. There is still work for
the committee, and st should by all
means get busy and perform the duties
for which it was named.
1t looks like thirty fairs for 1910 will

SUIClDED AT BILLINGS

From Billings Mont, comes the report
of horrible suicide in that city by
John Meyer. who lived in Dickinson for
several years and moved to Billings
about two years ago. 1t seems that he
had become demented over some re-
lieious books, which he had been read
ing and with knife one evening he
attempted to murder his wife and
daughter.
The girls collar pin protected her
from the first stroke of the knife across
her throat and she wrenched herself
from him and with her mother ran for
help. He set fire to all his buildings
and was attempting to cut his own
throat when the sheriff arrived. The
officer shot at him and he died instantly.
The buildings were all burned 20 the
report goes.

RAlls0N HORSE SALES CO.
have 4 CLEAN UP SALE

Considerind the weather conditions
over the northwest. the Railson Horse
Sales Co. sales last Friday and Saturday
were very good. The company had
clean up sale which amounted to about
SIS, 600.
The drouth in Iowa. Minnesota, South
Dakota and Wisconsin kept many of the
usual buyers out of the market and yet
Mr.. Mcdonald of Hawley, Minn., took
carload of mares at $1O2. so per round.
They were little under weight but
very smooth and clean. Seventeen head
of heavy draft horses sold in pair and
singles at little better than 5000 per
head.
MANAGER E. E. Railson says that he
has no fault to find with the sale. The
dry weather came on just at that time
and ii was out of the question to expect
eastern buyers to do business. If the
dry spell in the northwest is broken, the
second monthly sale on July 1913 will
be hummer. 1t will be just the time
when horses are wanted for the harvest.

ST. MARY'S
CHURCH
Formal Dedication of Magnificent
Structure at Richardton Occurs
July 6. A Monument to Rt.
Rev. Bishop Wehrle.

st. Mary's Abbey at Richardton will
be formally dedicated on Wednesday,
the 9th of July. The first services or
blessing of the church occurred on the
oath of December, 1908, when the build
ing proper was completed and regular
services began to be held there. In the
meantime every delicate piece of work
manship on the entire building has
been finished and the church stands
complete, a model of perfect architecture.
The building itself is the finest in the
state, and the most splendid house of
worship in the entire northwest Active
work was commenced in the spring of
1906. The building is 174 feet long and
Sc feet wide. and to the tip of the
highest cross is 100 feet in height. A
fine detailed description of the interior
of this beautiful building with its rare
statues, mural paintings and rich de-
corations was given in the PRESS at
the time of the blessing of the Abbey.
The monastery at Richardton was
founded in the spring of 1899 by Rev.
Fr. Vincent Wehrle, assisted by only
four Fathers and Brothers. They have
now nearly so Fathers, clerks and lay
brothers and have an attendance of
nearly 100 students at the college in
connection with the church. This ad-
vancement in church work. together with
the splendid building. will be lasting
monument to Rev. Vincent Wehrle, who
has lately been made bishop of the
newly-made diocese of Bismarck, an
honor which he certainly merited.
The dedication services will be very
impressive, and many visiting prelates
and bishops will assist in the cere-
monies,

dickinson Lost LUCK
TO WIBAUx AeeREaArlon

Dickinson was badly beaten Sunday
in the baseball game with Wibaux, the
final scores being is to S.
Our boys were out of sorts and played
so unlike their usual selves that the fans
were almost dumbfounded with the
result. They started in without snap
and were no better as the game ad-
vanced. and finished weak.
Wibaux played classy baseball all
the way through and had our boys been
playing their usual gait the game would
have been fast and furious, for no better
aggregation has come to Dickinson this
season.
The batting of Dorfler for the locals
was easily the feature. Three times he
struck for 3-bagger, always bringing
in score but dying on the base. His
splendid work on third base was also
creditable. Late in the game Manager
Hughes donned red cap and did some
heavy stick work. Davis pitched fairly
we'll but had no support. 1t was purely
an off color day all around for the home
team and the fans were anything but
enthusiastic. the only occasions for
cheering was when Dorfier tripled. but
the champions of the Missouri Slope
met their defeat amicably.
The score by innings was:

ranchers and farmers have turned their
attention to blooded stock and dairy in
terests, and now there are creameries in
nearly every town throughout the country.
Though the production of wheat, oats.
fax, barley and other cereals are the
sources of the main wealth of the
''Slope Country. these are by no means
its only resources. There are vast veins
of the best grade Ignite coal underlying
a large portion of the land and many of
the farmers and settlers obtain their
fuel from this source without leaving
their premises. Those people, not so
fortunate as to have it on their land,
can obtain it in the near vicinity for
about SIS per ton.
While this Ignite is in it's natural
state, it is not very we'll adapted for
shipping any great distance owing to its
tendency to disintegrate or slack when
exposed to sun and air this defect to
it's commercial value will doubtless
soon be overcome, as experiments to-
wards compressing it into briquettes are
nearing successful solution. Then our
Ignite coal will be able to compete with
the anthracite coal of Pennsylvania and
the bituminous Goals of Illinois and
Iowa. 1t will probably be used in St.
Paul. Minneapolis, Duluth and all inter-
mediate cities almost wholly for manu-
featuring purposes as it will be much
cheaper. and can be transported to those
centers more economically than the
eastern Goals. This, of course, will
bring even Greater wealth to our
country.

DEDICATION SERVICES OF
NEW CHURCH At Center

The good people of Center, the thriv-
ing county seat of Oliver county. dedi-
Gated their new Methodist Episcopal
church Sunday with imposing ceremon-
les.
The services were in. charge Of the
pastor. Rev. A. w. Brown, assisted
by Rev. E. P. Robertson, D. D., presi-
dent of the Wesleyan university, Grand
Forks; Rev. James Anderson of Valley
City, and Rev. F. L. Watkins of this
city. Ben Hauer of Faribault, Mimi,
had charge of the music.
The exercises of the day began at
10 80 in the morning with a praise
service at which DR.. Robertson preached.
A basket dinner, provided by the
ladies of the church, followed. At 3
o'clock in the afternoon the dedication
service was held. Rev. Anderson
preached and DR.. Robertson was in
charge of the dedication ceremonies.
Rev. F. L. Watkins preached at the
evening service.
The organization of the Methodist
Episcopal church at Center was effected
about six months ago by the present
pastor, Rev. A. W. Brown. During all
these years they have worshipped in the
court house. but have been looking to-
ward a church building for some time.
About year ago ground was broken
for the new house of worship, which has
been completed within the past few
weeks. 1t is a frame structure with q
seating capacity of about $50, costing
Sc, 600. 1t is so constructed that other
rooms can be added when necessary.
The membership at present is abo vi
sixty, but they are a progressive and
active people and are to be congra tu
lated on the results of their labor.
