THE LOCAL STORE.

The question of advertising
a store situated in the outskirts,
and catering to a sectional
trade, is worth thought.
It is necessary that the mer-
chant shall keep in touch with
his trade, Therefore he must adj
vertise. Questions arise as to
the best methods to follow.
Papers of general circulation
are not entirely worthless, but
there is so much circulation
which the suburban merchant
does not want, and yet must
pay for, that this plan is gener-
ly inpracticable. Many plans
have been tried, and among the
best of them seem to be the
booklet and circular, and the
publishing of small paper Of
local interest. Besides the
many circulars and booklets
furnished by manufacturers
and jobbers, the dealer should
issue some good literature of
his own. This should be dis
tributed in his territory by
trustworthy carriers, or mailed
from a carefully kept list of
Names. The following plan
has been tried by several mer-
chants similarly located, and
proven successful. A small
paper is issued at regular in
tervals. This contains news of
local interest as we'll as the
merchants advertising. Many
times there are other mer-
chants in the same locality
who will bear part of the ex-
pense in order to have adver-
tisements displayed therein.
This paper is distributed free
throughout the section, and
will find ready readers if the
news is carefully gathered and
edited. Many times such
publication can obtain ac-
counts of local interest that
never find their way into the
papers of general circulation.
Such papers are being pub
lished by many merchants who
cater to a sectional trade, and
even those with a more gener-
al patronage often find the
plan remunerative.-Iron Age.

Facts About North Dakota.

C0GSS nOOOl NUTl O0NOI0s
Having been asked by so many
men in Illinois if cattle can b.
raised successfully in North Dakot:
I will write short letter for your
paper so that all may have chance
to hear about as good cattle, sheer
and horse country as there is in the
world. We don feed on all aver
age more than hundred days in {
year, and great many winters MOI
more than sixty days. I have
known five winters in the sixteen
years that | have lived in North
Dakota when no feed was required
other than the native grass, the
cattle running out all winter and
doing better than they do in Iowa
on hay and stalk fields.
Now, for horses, they will live on
range four winters out of five, and
do we'll without shelter or any food
but the range grass which | find
far better than blue grass, as it
seems to help them stand the cold.
All stock do better after the grass
ripens in the fall, and my experience
is that they make larger gains in
October than in June. The grass
cures On the ground before frost,
and having little rain after Septem-
Der it retains all of it's nourishment
through the winter, and the snow
does not injure it as it does in more
southern climates. All the snow is
generally gone by the middle of
March. and the stock is in fair con-
dition to start out onto the range
AS for sheep raising, I have
tried it and found that my profits
were as much for the same amount
of money invested as a COUSIN of
mine, who has sheep ranch in
Texas. The percentage Of increase
and weight in the north fully pays
for extra feed and shelter.
Hay can be put in stock in large
meadows for 25 cents per ton to
feed it out. Two tons will feed a
two-year old steer through the long
est winter. Practical men who
have raised cattle and sheep in this
North Dakota have assured me that
they have made, under all circum-
stances, from % to 80 per cent. on
all money invested, it being possible
to raise a steer at the age of three
years at a cost of SO.
There is plenty of government
land in central and western North
Dakota, and the Northern Pacific
railroad owns every alternate sec
tion forty miles on each side of
their right-of- This land can
be bought from two to five dollars
an acre on ten years time at six
per cent. Most of this land is good
farming land, we'll watered. and
fine for grazing, besides being able
to raise all kind of small grain and
vegetables. The Missouri slope
country has less snow than the
country farther east, where I live.
In central and western North Da-
kota cattle run out all winter, the
country Offering good shelter and
good feed, the percentage OF loss
being very small. The Northern
Pacific railroad runs through this
land, and they will run excursions
through this country this spring,
on the first and third Tuesdays Ct
each month, furnishing tourists
sleepers and stop-over privileges at
all points north and west ofSt. Paul.
For further information I would ad-
wise all men who care to see this
country to write F. W. Wilsey.

fic Ry., St. Paul, Minn.

country, but simply to answer

DR.. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT
IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR Ev-
ERYTHING.
But if You Have Kidney or Bladder
Trouble 1t Will Be Found Just
the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition; beauty
vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear
when the kidneys are out of order or
diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon for child ITO be
born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often, If the urine scads
the flesh, or it, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, and it is yet afflicted with bed
wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the
difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit
as most people suppose.
So we find that women as well as men
are made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists. in fifty-cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a sample bottle by
mail free, also pamphlet telling all about
It, including many of the thousands of
testimoni letters received from sufferers
