The Brighter Side.

1t was a beautiful barometer. It
glistened from it's splendid wooden
case with a spick-and-spanness that
boasted of its newness. Its rich
framework clearly advertised the
large price that had been paid for 1t,
Its owner was justly proud.
But it possessed one drGwback-it
wouldn't work. Ever since 1t had
been purchased 1t had remained at
set Fair" whatever the weather had
happened to be. And the weather had
happened to be particularly wet.
At last its owner grew weary Of
it's external beauty, and e~xasperated
over its internal stupidity. One day,
when the rain was pouring extra
hard, he tore the weather indicator
from the wall. and took it out into the
road.
Now. then" he cried, shaking 1t
angrily. cant you see it's raining?"
For a moment the needle hesitated.
Then, as the raindrops began to dim
the glass, it made up It's mind and
moved slowly round to Very Dry"

FROM G. w. LATIN

X. A. Boast is in receipt of a
letter from our former fellow towns.
man, g. w. Latin, now located near
Fallen, New, and we are given per.
mission to print that part of it giving
Mr. Lattin's experience in farming
this year. 1t shows that all localities
have their drawbacks, not even ex,
cepting irrigated sections, which are
generally supposed by people in these
parts TO be crop sure every year.
4 part OF his letter is as follows:
"We expected to raise some crop
this year but have not done much
better than we could have done 10
South Dakota; our land is so full
of alkali that we can not do much for
the first year and. may be not the
second. 1t has to be flooded repeat
eddy TO wash out the alkali and then
it bakes too badly for grain to grow.
Alfalfa is about the only crop that
will stand the flooding, and that will
not give a crop the first year. We
sowed ten acres of alfalfa last year
and that will cut two tons per acre
this year. We have a good garden,
however, as that was put in ground
that is free from alkali.
"We took the word of the experts
that sugar beets would do we'll on
new ground even if it had alkali in
1t and put in ten acres of beets on
new ground that we leveled last
winter. 1 worked all summer On the
beets, but the crop is a failure. They
started and then turned yellow and
failed togrow any more. The beet
men say that they are affected with
a blight that has destroyed the crop
IL Utah and Colorado in the same
way and that it is no fault of the land
or the working of the beets. Most OF
the beets in this sections are as bad
as mine, so ! suppose it is a blight
that ails them. but am out of my
beets and work for the summer, ex
cept that | think | have the alkali
worked out of the ground SO that il
will raise a crop next year.
MRS. l.. is expecting to go down
to Los Angles to get her mother, who
is visiting there, some time this win
ter, so If you can send us the ad.
dress Of any Of the De Smet people
who are there she may be able tc
look them up. We thought MIR.
Couse might have some Of them.
Zone Of our neighbors who is eighty
rods carer town has just refused five
thousand dollars for his place Of
forty acres, which is mostly in alfalfa
so that this land will bring a good
price after II Is put in crop, although
il takes time to get IL started. This
man has been on his place six years
and II il yielding five tons per acre.
We are all we'll rs usual"

He will not surface pillow, but will put

The success of this plan will be

"A peculiar thing happened on the
Minneapolis grain exchange Tuesday
Sept. 9Th, when the bulk of sales OF
Durum wheat sold at a higher figure
than the bulk of sales of No. 2 North
ern. This is the first time such a con-
dition has existed since the writer
had anything to do with the grain
business, % going on eight years,
just what is the cause we will not
attempt to say. The receipts OF
Durum are very light this year, but il
would hardly seem that the demand
for that class of wheat would be so
great as to overcome an ordinary
difference of about twenty cents per
bushel. If the relative price level
would hold good during the year il
would pay to SOW Durum almost ex-
clusively, but that is hardly possible,
