this time last year The butter is
shipped to Alaska. where there is a
great demand.

dry season is the scarcity of mos
quitoes. These little pests need lots
of wet weather to thrive at thei,
best. and the Dakotas are not a good
place for them now Their cute
little songs and nasty little stings
are not missed in the least.
Bernard Hanson. the thirteen
year old adopted boy Of Carl Thon,
from the North Dakota children 5
home at Fargo, had his right arm
cut off in header sickle. recently,
near Edgeley. Young Hanson was
driving the header on the Thon
farm. The wind was very strong
and IN turning corner the sweep of
the gale blew the boy off the seal,
and he fell in front of the sickle,
his arm being completely severed at
the shoulder.
| Lorenz kowalski. blacksmith at
Leipsig, had the toothache. He had
1t badly if we may Judge by the rem
edy he resorted to. This is what he
| did. He set one end Of buggy
spoke against the offending tooth.
then seizing a large hammer he
| struck heavy blow against the
other end. The tooth yielded all
right, but Lorenz's troubles were
not yet over, for a piece of the tooth
stuck in the gum so that he had to
consult a dentist after all. Incl
dentally LorenZ has very much
swollen face.
| An example of what can be done
IN this country. says the Courtenay
Gazette. by changing the old time
methods of farming only for wheat
alone, was seen the other day when
X. II. Reid sold wagon load of
hogs, raised on his farm, which
| netted him over 5000. Coming as il
does, during time when business is
slack, it looks like a package from
home. y and Mr.. Reid has good rea-
son to feel that by using diversified
methods of farming one does not
need to lie awake nights worrying
about the wheat crop.
To be strangled to death under a
window was the terrible fate of the
child OF w. Walden. living four miles
north of New Leipsig. The accident
happened thus: The father was at
work half mile from the house and
the mother had gone to take his
dinner to him, leaving the child in
| the house A window set close to
the floor was left open with only a
knife set under by way of a prop.
| The child tried to crawl out of the
window when the sash fell and
caught it like trap. A doctor
was called during the afternoon. but
the child had been dead for some
| time.
