Tree and Fish Inspection.

Professor George L. Clothier,
agent forestry division of the agri-
cultural department of Washing
ton, D. c., is now actively engaged
in the examination of the trees
and woods of North Dakota. He
is a scholarly scientist and until of
late, for a period of twenty-one
years, he has been connected with
the agricultural college of Kansas,
where he occupied the chair of
botany for a series of years. He
is thoroughly conversant with
trees, their functions, habits and
uses. He has taken many photo
graphic views of our domestic and
native trees and woods for the use
of the officials at Washington.
He is assisting individual farmers
in the way of providing plans for
tree lots about the home place, and
as to the best methods of planting
and cultivating trees. He also
furnishes literature free of charge
treating of such subjects. State
Forestry commissioner w. w.
Barrett, of Churchs Ferry, N. D.,
is taking an active interest in
these matters, and will most will
ingly assist any individual farmer
to secure the advantage of the CO.
operation of the U. S. forestry
division, Offering advice and pract-
ical assistance to farmers and
others in the line of tree culture.
Commissioner Barrett has asso-
ciated Mr. Clothier in his investi-
cations. It is worthy of mention
that the latter gentleman is highly
pleased with the progress of
forestry in North Dakota, and he
states the trees, domestic and
native, are equal in every respect
as to hardness, enduring qualities,
health and growths to like trees
grown in any western state. Mr..
Clothier carries on his work in
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South
Dakota, North Dakota, Wisconsin,
and Michigan.
Sept. Is Mr.. Barrett and Mr..
Clothier inspected the woods and
waters Of the east end Of the
Turtle Mountains. Beyond the
burned district, they found vast
bodies of compact woods of hardy
trees ranging from forty to sixty
feet in height. The lakes, all fresh
water bodies, are numerous and
most attractive and admirably
adapted to the culture of fish.
Mr. Barrett examined the fish
which he planted in Fish Lake "a

Headache may be called a woman's
ailment. Some men suffer from it. But
almost all women have to endure its
pain with each recurring month. This
fact points at once to the intimate rela-
ton between the health Of the delicate
womanly organs and the general health
Of the whole body. Every
ought t. know and understand that the
standard of general physical health can
not be higher than the standard of the
local health of the womanly organs.
