Sunday, August 28,1910. Special Service HOG BRINGS Medina, N. D., Aug. 27 —George of Roundlake, brought in Dahlst:*om a hog last Saturday and sold it to the! Stewart meat market, that tipped the scales at 480 pounds. The hog was 15 months old and this spring gave birth to ten pigs, which taking into consideration their selling price will bring the value of that individual up to over $50. Mr. Dahlstrom lets hisI hogs run on pasture and feeds themj speltz, baney and oats and is firmly convinced that hog raising can be sue-1 cessfully carried on in North Dakota, He always has a bunch of hogs about his place and they are always good ones.

D.( Aug. 27.—In regard to the report that has been circulated among the democratic organs through out the state that C. A. Johnson, re publican nominee for governor of North Dakota, held an extended con ference at a Bismarck hotel, Mr. John son said today: "Yes, I met Alex McKenzie in Bis marck in the same capacity as I met a large number of other residents of Bismarck, and as I am meeting a large number of people about the state. As a free American citizen I believe that I have the right to meet, I talk and shake hands with any and ail 'people that I may meet, and I state further that whether after next No vember I am governor-elect of North Dakota or merely a private citizen, I shall be glad to meet and talk with John Burke, Tom Marshall, George B.

As the republican nominee for governor of this state, a honor which was conferred upon me by the people, and not by any oneothere man, I believe that it is not only my privilege, but also my duty, to talk with all the voters that I may meet during this campaign. "The reported details of my alleged visit with McKenzie, however, are en-teeth tirely false. The statement that I arrived in Bismarck on the same train, that I had an extended confer ence with Mr. McKenzie at a hotel, that I went out driving with him anding Mr. Poole, and that we met in ac cordance with a pre-arranged plan, are tissue of falsehoods.

D., Aug. 27.—Recently while excavating rock for a foundation to his dwelling house that he is erect ing, S. D. Gregg found entombed in the sandstone rock a lilliputian skele ton. The find was made north of Glad stone in the sandstone ridge. The skeleton was In a verv poor condition and there was nothing but a few bones left, one tooth and the jaw bone and a portion of the skull and a thigh bone, comprised the re mains. Some ten or twelve years ago a similar skeleton was found by R. J. Turner while quarrying stone on the hill south of town. Both skeletons were walled into the sandstone the one that Mr. Turner found had a remnant of a rude cof fin also in the tomb the coffin was simply two boards, one underneath and the other over the skeleton. These boards had been bound togeth er by thongs having been passed through the boards. Both the little skeletons gave about the same meas urements, say about three feet high, and both were of mature beings. The one that Mr. Turner found had the lower Jaw in a pretty fair state of preservation, showing a full set of teeth (none were missing, nor were any decayed.) The jaws of both sub jects bore strong resemblance to each being very square and strong. Th skull of the Turner find was pretty well preserved, and was shap ed very much like the Indian skulls, that is the facial angle and high cheek bones bore out the resemblance, al though somewhat diminutive. The of Mr. Turner's find were what is termed double teeth, they were not Ilk the ordinary set of white men's teeth had no eye teeth nor incisiors, properly speaking, although occupy the places that these teeth of the human animal usually occupy. Neith er of these skeletons could be pre served any length of time. The writer of this article was given the skeleton that Mr. Turner found and an attempt was made to keep the remains, but the bones and the wood of which the coffin was made, alike crumbled to dust and had to be cast away before many years had elapsed.

D., Aug. 27.—From to 12 bushels to the acre is the way the wheat crop in the northeastern part of the state is going, according to a well known professional man who has just returned from an extend ed trip over that section of the state. In the vicinity of Forest River the crop*, are especially good and the wheat is running 7 to 12 bushels with an occasional yield of IS bushels. From BowesTnont comes the report that the crop on the farm of W. II. Tait is averaging 10 bushels. John Halerow, one of the largest farmers in that vicinity, reports 12 bushels, while E. P. Coff threshed a piece of river bottom land that went 24 bush els, and another 12 acre tract of scrub that yielded 32 bushels, the prem ier yield reported up to date. The general run in the vicinity of Bowes is from 7 to 12 bushels. At Crystal the crop is considered espe good and is running around 12 bushels. At .Toilette the crop is also generally very good, going from 10 to 14 bushels. a!land Mrs.mont over the down stairs department The infant child of Mr. and Mrs.cially John Lunde, pioneer setters living twelve miles west of Braddock, died of what was supposed to be infantile paralysis Wednesday morning. The remains were laid to rest in the Haz elton cemetery. The North Dakota yield shows up much stronger than that in southern Manitoba, where wheat is going from 8 to 9 bushels. Osnabrock and Mil ton promise yields of from 8 to 10 bushels, while around Langdon and Hannah the crop is very poor and the average will not exceed 6 bushels. East of Park River wheat and all crops are better than in the west. The crop in that vicinity is now being threshed and yields from 6 to 10 bushels. It is also interesting to note that there are many pieces of wheat in all this territory that have not been cut at all. Many flax yields will never see the reapers. Oats and barley are uni jformly poor, barley in most instances yielding from to 10 bushels. The Nielsen company's Hair Dressing Parlors are open for business. They are In charge of Miss L.

Motors, wagons, buggies it's all the same, Every time they turn to the left it gets them into trouble —makes a inix-up—they don't know where they're at. They should turn to the right where the road is known to be open and clear for best travel. Same way in hardware.

Thre* TESTNG FIRE CLAY. The Moat Practical Method la to Lit* •rally Eat It. Fire clay hus been in use for cen turies, and yet I believe the Industry is one which lucks detlnite laws more than uny other, including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence. You can go to a manufacturer of steel and specify what you wunt by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod net by chcmluil analysis or mechanical tests nml thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine in order to get a result at least very closely approaching what you call for. but not so in the fire clay business. In the past the most skilled and highest salaried chemists have been employed to make testa, to promote and carry through Investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated I articles derived therefrom. The result lias been, generally speaking, confusion worse coufounded. Two professors. working at similar times on brick or i-luy obtained from the same source ud manufactured under exactly equal conditions, have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions! The same scien tists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder if a promi nent fire clay manufacturer should ex claim, as heard one on an occasion after having the above experience, "All tests of tire clay are empirical, and I would sooner trust our superintend ent to pick ami select his clays in the old fashioned way than pay a high fee for a highbrow's recommendations?" The chief method of testing fire clay by a practical man Is literally to eat it Ue can detect grit and sand best by that method, and a good fire clay (free from silica, quartzite or flint clay) is free from grit His only other personal test Is by experiment—En gineering Magazine.
