Special and Important
Announcement I 1
Great Reduction in Price.
To all Present Healers of the Farmer
and to All Others.
Wo are happy to
state that, by Special Arrange'
ment, Ave are able to offer one of the most valu"
able Journals in the country, in combination
with the NORTHERN PACIFIC FARMER, at a price
but little above the cost of either of them when
taken alone.
For over forty years the AMERICAN AGRICUL
TURIST lias been everywhere rocognized not
only as authority on all Agricultural and Horti
cultural subjects, and of great value to all culti
vators of the soil, but also as a most valuable help
to every Housekeeper, and a source of entertain
ment and instruction to all Young People.
It has been taken and read with interest and
profit by scores of thousands ia CITIES and VIL
LAGES, in short, by people of all pursuits and
professions.
Orer a TMnil CMce, Original £1-
CRAVINGS adorn every Volume, and gives not
only pleasure, but impart information far better
than words can do, about all departments ot OUT
DOOR and IN-JSOOR work—new labor-saving de
vices and methods, Animals, Plants, Buildings,
etc., and many beautiful Pictures for Young and
Old.
It is a marvel of condensed and useful, trust
worthy information for EVERYBODY, and begins
it« 42d year with most valuable new featur&s, far
surpassing all former issues.
Its plans of Houses, Barns and Out-Buildings,
with lull specifications, are exceedingly useful.
THE EXPOSURE OF HUMBUGS
has been a marked feature of the AMERICAN
AGRICULTURIST for a quarter of a century, and
this is now pushed with increased enorgy and
vigilance. This department has saved its readers
and the country many MILLIONS or DOLLARS, and
it is worth to EVERY reader far more than the cost
of the pajier.
Although supplied, post paid, at S1.50 a year,
its preparation is more costly, and its reading
matter and engravings more valnable than most
of the 83 and 84 magazines.
A Magnificent Picture CTree
TO EVERY SUBSCRIBER.
All subscribers to the AMERICAN AGRICUL
TURIST for the year 1883 are presented with a
superb Plate copy of Dupre's last Groat Painting,
"IN THE
MEADOW."
The eminent artist, F. 8.
Church, writing to a friend, thus alludes to this
Picture: "I was delighted this morning to see
oftered as a premium with the AMERICAN AG
RICULTURIST, a reproduction of a very beauti
ful Picture, "In the Meadow," by Dupre. This
picture is an educator."
Those desiring a tpjcimen Copy of the AMERI
CAN AGRICULTURIST can obtain one, postpaid,
by sending 15 cents to the publishers, Orange
Judd Co., 751 Broadway, New York.
OUR GREAT OFFER.
The AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST (above describ
ed), together with the NORTHERN PACIFIC FAR
MER, will be sent, post paid, one year at the re
duced combination rate of only
$2.50 FOR BOTH JOURNALS!
And IN ADDITION, we will secure to every
such combination subscriber a copy of Dupre's
Great Painting, as above decribod. This Superb
Engraving (17% tjy-T2-4iicA^eSKBrv«ttf
border), is worth more than the cost of both
Journals. It is on heavy Plate Paper, and sent
seeurely packed in Tubes made expressly for the
purpose. When to be mailed, 10 cents extra is
required for Packing, Postage, etc.

Senator Windom showed very bad
tase in leaving St. Paul without pay
ing his respects to Senator-elect
Sabiu, who had always been his
frieiul and supporter. He should not
have incrnascd the sorrows of the
mourners at his own funeral.
The New Hampshire delegation
ind th» Maine senators have recom
mended O. C. Moore, for many years
editor of the Nashua (N. II.) Tele
raph, for president of the civil ser
vice commission. This is one of the
best appointments that could be
nade. Mr. Moore is one of the ablest
men in the New England States, and
ibove any suspicion or jobbery or
political chicanery.
The result of the senatorial contest
it St. Paul is better than could have
teen expected under the circumstan
es. Mr. Sabin, the senator eleot, is
one of the ablest business men in the
State, and has had considerable exp
ience in the local legislature, which
will enable him more easily to master
the details of legislation in the
larger sphere of national legislation.
The election of Mr. Windom, we
believe, was desired by a large ma
jority of the Republican party in the
State, and his election would have
bsep for the best interests of the
State and nation. On account of his
long experience in public affairs, and
his wide acquaintance with public
men, he would have been able to
exert a larger influence than any new
man can possibly do, however able he
nay be. We hear it often said that
ho has had the place long enough,
and there are other men just as good
as he is. Of the latter statement we
have no doubt, but of the former it
may be said that experience counts
for as much in public affairs as it
doljj^in business, and that the people
as a whole desire the services of him
who canbest'ftffrve them j»nd tothem
It makes no aiireiTgnc6"\raitiier n^nas
served one term or more, and it is
only those who desire to excite sym
pathy for some fellow who wants to
succeed him, or hopes to receive
from his successor some benefit in the
way of a place at the public crib,
that make tluit plea. Now
it'!?,seems to us that a man
should be elected to office on the
same principle that we would use in
employing men to do business, and
net on account of any favor we might
wish to do them, but to get the best
to do the work in hand that is, as
would get the most experienced
attorney to do our law business, and
in like manner, the architect, car
penter, bridge builder, book-keeper,
etc., and when we do this the public
will be much better served than they
are at present.

great joy and give thee greeting.
We desire to impress upon your
minds the fact that a grand good time
is to be had at McNair's Hall Satur
day evening, February 10, in tin
shape of a school exhibition to be
given by the schools of this placr.*
An excellent programme has been
prepared, and with the unexcelled
music to be furnished by Ormsby's
orchestra, there is no doubt but th
all will be well pleased with the ev
ening's entertainment. Such plays
as "Out in the Streets," and "Ara
bella's Poor Relations," speak
themselves. We hope to see a good
delegation from Wadena. The ob
ject of the exhibition is to procure a
bell for the seliool house. Admission,
children, 15c adults, 25c reserved
seats, 35c.
And now just one word in regard to
the weather. It is, moderately speak
ing, slightly chilly down here. The
thermometers can't stand it,and have
taken up winter quarters in the eel
ar the sun dogs have frozen off their
ears and noses, while the subtle in
fluence of our remarkable climate
maketh the terrier of this mundane
sphere howl with rage and wander
into pxroxysn of wrath Yes, Mi.
Editor, it is so cold that our hotel
keepers are obligee! to pour hot lead
down their horses' throats to keep
them from freezing up solid. Snow
drifts are high, but they are no com
parison to the mountains of congealed
air that are to be met with at every
point
of the compass. We have an
idea that the earth is frozen clear
through to China, and that volcano
and earthquakes area thing ol the
past. Well, come to thinl", it i«
"right smart" milder, and with a few
more sunny days the back-bone of
old winter will be bent if not broken4
Our Literary Society still lives.
Meetings are held in the hall now.
The lust meeting (Monday evening)
was a very pleasant affair. The ques
tion, Resolved, That Lakota Territory
should be divided and the southern
half admitted as a State during the
present
session of congress, was dis
cussed by J. Drawz ?nd S. L. Fiazier
in the affirmative, and J. W. Speel
man and E. M. Lane in the negative.
After a lively discussion, abounding
in logic and great eloquence, the
judges decided in favoi of ,»ffirma*
ive.
Ofllcers were elected for the ensu
ing two months, as follows: Presi-^
dent, E. N. Smith vice president, C.
