Alexander Chronicle: While A. Nj.
Rhodes was cutting hay on Miss
Anna Simonson's place on Camp
creek. one day last week, the mower
on which he was riding ran over
what Mr.. Rhodes at first thought
was stick; but a second look re-
vealed the form of a gun. Upon in
vestigation the find proved % be an
old army rifle. The stock was con-
siderably rotted and the other parts
were very rusty. 1t was imbedded in
the earth. and the weapon had
probably been there at least twenty
FIVE years. Mr.. Rhodes says it
is no doubt fire-arm carried by
General Custer men when they
were fighting Indians in these
parts. The finder will keep the old
gnn as a relic.

What a "Bite" 1t Could Take.

Operator Allen. few days ago,
left a fossil tooth at the office of
the Medora Herald that he found in
a gravel pit at Horton, Montana, at
a depth Of nearly two hundred feet.
1t is but a fragment of the original
molar, but measures six inches
from crown to root, five inches
across at the widest part, and is
three and one-haIf inches thick.
What the whole tooth measured can
only pc conjectured. The structure
can be plainly seen at the fracture,
and the enamel in the crown and
sides is evident. Nerve passages
are seen at the broken parts.

Teeth In rhaie stomach.,

Whatever 1t may be that the lobster
and the crab, rapacious, never dainty,
are eating they always see something
else that they want and can't wait un-
til they have musticated the first be-
fore attacking the second. But they
don't give up tho first, not by any
manner OF means. Nature, humoring
this rapacious bent, has fitted the lob
stcr and the crab with teeth In their
stomachs, and they swallow their half
masticated food and finish the chew
ing process with their stomachs while
they seize and chew tho other thing
that has attracted them. HOLSTERS ana
crabs have no teeth in their mouths.
They chew with their claws what they
have time to and hand tho unfinished

rest of the chewing.

From cholera.,nfested Country

Fessenden Free Press: According
to reports from Washington City,
fifteen families from cholera in
tested countries arrived in North
Dakota during the last ten days.
Two out of the fifteen were the pro-
portion that fell to the lot of Wells
county. Wells county has received
six such families during the present
year. Eleven cases are quarantined
in New York, three being caught at
the hospitals. Careful watching on
the part of the immigration bureau
has resulted in preventing many
cholera cases from entering the
United States during the past ear.

Make More Butter,

Mandan Pioneer The Bismarck
Tribune says editonallv in a recent
issue that North Dakota butter
makers continue to pull down first
premiums on the quality of their
product; but they do not make
enough. - We might add that
Morton county hutter-makers are
to pull down first pre-
NUNS in the state of North Dako-
ia, which should be pretty good
boost for Morton county. And we
might say of the county as the Trib-
une does of the state, But they do
not make enough. =
The prize winning feats of the
Morton county butter makers at
the inter safe fair at Fargo and the
state fair at Grand Forks this year
should be an Inspiration to dozens
of communities and hundreds of
farmers within the confines Of this
big, populous county, the county
that now leads the state in thequali-
ty of the product.

Judging from the reports in our
exchanges during the past two or
three crop-seasons, there is another
product besides cream. eggs and
poultry that viii bring a roll of
sure cash TO the farmers in years of
low wheat-yieIds, and that is winter
rye. While in only isolated instances
has winter wheat proved hardy in this
state, and its hardness is governed
entirely by the matter of its being
covered with snow. winter rye has
proved hardy in every instance we
have seen reported in every one of
the Records exchanges. There is
going to be large acreage of win
ter rye sown in North Dakota next
month. 1t seems to get SO far along
that it is less injured by hot winds
or lack of rainfall than any other
crop. Furthermore, it can be cut
along about the first of July and
gotten out of the way before the
other harvest work begins.

Another Old Weapon.

Ambrose Newsman: Elmer Bodin
of Robson recently found an old flint
lock musket near the state line. The
gun was in good condition, and the
date 1909. which was stamped on
the barrel, was plainly visible, as is
the name of the makers. Parker,
Field & Co. The gun has been fired
several times by Mr.. Bodin, who
says the working parts are i'm excel
lent condition. How the piece came
to be on the prairie, and how long
it has been there, are matters of
considerable speculation.

The advance in aeroplane travel is

The advance in aeroplane travel is
more rapid than was that of the
automobile during its first years.
Only a few months ago the reading
world opened its mouth in astonish-
ment when the news reached it that
Bleriot had flown across the English
channel. Now. they sail over it by
dozens. A year or so ago, no great
height had been reached, and the
motor would not allow the birdman
to stay in the air long at a time.
The other day, tombstone, at Mime
ola, in York State, staid up continu-
ously more than four hours;
and word comes to the American
metropolitan press that a French
man, one day last week, assembled to
a height of more than two miles.
