Editor Independent: I herein send you a few’ lines to publish in your paper for those that would like to hear from North Dakota. We have been having some more dry weather here which is going to make our wheat crop short. As near as I can find out the wheat over onr country will make about half a crop; other crops are in fair condition yet, and it is now raining. If the rain continues until it moistens the ground up well we will have good oats and barley. My potatoes are doing fine; expect a big crop; have all the new potatoes we want to use. I have planted about 1,(100 cabbage plants which are doing fine; in fact everything I planted is

growing nicely. My early corn has tasseled and expect new corn soon. Last Sunday was the warmest day wo have had, it being 91 in the shade. Don’t have many such days; there is some breeze nearly every day. I think the summers are much nicer here than in Indiana. It is the nicest country to raise truck in I ever saw’. We don t have to be fighting potato bugs; haven t seen a potato bug since I have been here. Ail we have to do is to plant our crop and cultivate and it grows right along nicely. But mosquitoes and gophers are too numerous to mention. Gophers are doing considerable damage this year to the crops. — tv VMM- V’ l ’« " X next week. I was out looking after some grass yesterday and found a meadow they claim to bo seven miles long and from one half mile to two miles wide. I walked through it and the grass in many places is four feet high and j ist as thick as it can stand. It makes the finest kind of hay but there are lots of it that will go to waste. I was talking with some of our colony that came here last spring. They are dissatisfied and say they are i going back to Indiana this full. I hey say they did not come hero to stay, . They came hero to gel rich and then go buck to Indiana and buy them a ■ farm. They thought they canid get rich the first year. That kind of men j we have no use for here. Some of the same men worked in Indiana for 15 and 20 years and came up here without anything and expected tv make a big i stake here the first year and now : curse the country because they failed in their calculations. Now if a man wants n home 1 think this is a good place, ns I nch’ Sum will i give yon IGO acres of tine hind and ns ; yon don’t have to fence here yon can go to plowing it up light away and raise u good crop on it the next year.

Lightuiug struck Peter Bodine’s barn near this place about noon on Friday of last week, and killed two horses. Mr. Ihidine was away at the time the accident occurred; Mrs. Bodine happened to look from the house towards the barn and saw a streak of smoke curling up from the roof. She summoned the neighbors by ringing । the dinner bell, and they rushed to the barn in time to put out the tire, but flour. They had been almost instantly killed by the electric shock. * We have seen a number of watch chains ornamented with a pretty charm in the shape of a watch case opener, which obviates the use of a knife or fingernail to opeu the watch. They are sent free on request by the Keystone Watch Case Company, of Philadelphia, Pa. Y'our jeweler here may have one for you; if uot, send to Philadelphia. The Keystoue Watch Case Company is the largest concern of its kind in the world. Its capacity is 2500 watch eases per day. It manufactures every description of case, but its great specialty is that most popular of all watch cases, the Jas. Boss gold filed. These are equal in beauty and wear to solid gold while they cost only about one-half as much. Boss and other Keystone cases are the only cases that have the famous Nou-pull out bow or ring, which saves the watch from theft and accident. The Keystone Company does not retail, but our local jewelers handle the cases and swear by the thief-proof qualifies of the ring.
