Bismarck Tribune: The brevet,

Lawton for Col. Treumann of the
North Dakota volunteers and the.
terms of praise in which the,
general referred to the North Da-
.kota troops, are compliments of
which the state troops may we'll
fesl proud. As expressed by many
Of the boys, General Lawton was
not in the habit of throwing
bouquets, and when he spoke in
praise OF an organization, it was an
indication that it. was thoroughly
deserving. The North Dakota
regiment had few press boosters,
but when the record of the Philip
pine war comes to be made up, it.
will occupy a first place, for
courage and fidelity to duty.

Farm Help.

Wisconsin Farmer:
A common and growing COM
plant in all the farming districts
of the country is that competent
help that is otherwise Objectionable
is difficult to obtain. Really com
potent man can almost imme-
diately become their own en-
ployers if in other respects they
are prudent and economical, so
that only the incompetent, or, if
capable, the improvident, are left
for employers to draw from. One
difficulty lies in the fact that
neither employer nor employe
seems to realize that farming is a
calling requiring as much special
knowledge as any other and more
than many others. If this fact
were appreciated and the boys on
the farm were trained in the light
Of it, they would be much, less in
clined to take fight to the city
the moment, they felt their wings

were strong enough. The old
time idea that anybody was good
enough to be a farmer is now
known by all thoughtful men to
be as false as any proposition we'll
could be. Still, these old time
ideas die hard and the influence
OF this one survives. The fact is
that successful farming in these
days affords scope for the best
talent going. The more a boy or
q man knows in q practical way
about a number of the most in
teresting natural sciences the.
better farmer he will make. Farm.
ing takes muscle, it is true, but
good farming requires less of il,
than formerly and demands that
what is used shall be guided by
brains and large special knowledge.
Much of the distaste for farming.
which drains the country Of its,
best material is due to belief that,
it is merely hard, routine work
affording no opportunity for men
tai development, and no scope for.
the remunerative exercise Of
mental ability. The philosophy
OF the much-talked-of poem, "The.
Man With the Hoe" is resented.
as false, and as applied to Ameri-.
can conditions it is utterly false.
but down at the bottom it is in
part believed, and the idea that
the worker on the farm is more or
less a mere beast Of burden, drives
the bulk of those who believe it
and who possess any ambition
whatever into other callings, leav--
ing only an inferior residuum with
which to do farm work. If one
could only impress upon all minds,
in both town and country, the,
factor it is a fact-thatf farming
is a calling furnishing ample scope.
for the best abilities, and that it.
should be learned thoroughly and
we'll as other callings are learned,
the bulk of the farm labor will be.
as satisfactory as that in any other
occupation, for it would consist Of
the apprentices and journeymen
working as employees preparatory
to becoming themselves employers.
in a calling in which they
should take pride, because,
they felt that it afforded oppor-
tunity for the development and
employment of the best talents.
Farmers should exalt their calling,
because it is only by this means,
that they can secure anything else,
than the skim milk Of the labor
supply.

ITO be Continued

Bismarck Tribune: From re-
ports received by immigration
bureaus it seems evident that there
will be a very large foreign immi-
grafton to this state early in the
spring. Inquiries for prepaid
tickets are comming in right and
left from all over the northwest,
the cause being the desire to take
advantage of the general low rates.
This means that the foreign popu-
lation Of this section, especially
the Germans and Scandinavians,
feel that the time is propitious to
send tickets to their relatives in
the old country for the purpose oil
bringing them over here this
winter, or early next spring.

Grand Harbor, Oct. 81 came
from North Liberty, Ind, and

spring Of 1897. I landed here
without any money, but located IL
miles north of Grand Harbor and
went to work. [ now own 48O
acres of land, and have 400 under

was 1900 bushels of wheat, 300
bushels of oats. 1000 bushels of

ables do better here than any place

and the native grass is just the
thing for butter making. The

winters are cold,, but I prefer
them, and we do not mind the cold

back east, I buy my wood by the
carload, and it costs me $3.50 per

than [ expected to find them, and
we have three schools within three
miles of my place. This country
is all right for lew settlers. who
r willing to work, no stumps to
contend with, just break up the
land and go to farming. I would
rether farm ten acres here than one
back east. [ would advise anyone
not having a home to come here,
and either buy on the crop plan or
take a homestead. I can truly say
that I found the country really
better than your representatives
told it. Almost anyone can do
better here than in the east. A
man can raise more on the cheap
land here than he can on the high
priced land of the east. The peo-
pie out here are generous, and like

SO, Rolette county, Dec. %, 1897.
He had the land broken in the
spring Of 1898, and sown to fax in
the spring Of 1899. This fall,
from the proceeds Of the crop, he
paid all expenses Of breaking the
land, buying the seed and harvest
ing the crop, and deposited $1,000
of the net proceeds in a bank.
This is not a boom story, but can
be verified from the records. The
land is situated near Perth.

never enjoyed better health in my
life. I would advise anyone who
wishes to change location to come
here and investigate before NOV
ing elsewhere. The country is
fully as good as was represented
to me by the employees of the
Great Northern railway. I think
that a renter, who has to give half
and pay expenses, as had to back
east, would be much better off to
come out here and file on land or
buy on the crop payment plan, and
then be his own master, and
don't have to give half he raises to
someone else.

farm if the Great Northern Rail
way company would ship us and
our goods back free of charge.

Devils Lake, Oct. %. We came
here from Clay City, Ind, in the
spring Of 1897, and located IL miles
north Of Devils Lake. We have
800 acres Of land and have 100 of
it in cultivation. [ raised this
year 1871 bu. of wheat, 200 blu. of
barley, 1000 bu. Of flax, and on J
acre had IT'S bu. of potatoes. We
have farmed here three years, and
have alwayshad a splendid garden,
and my experience in farming
here is of the best. The winters
since I have been here have been
the finest 1 ever saw; of course it
was cold. but the dry air makes it
seem nice and comfortable. Let
me tell you my experience in buy
ing on the crop plan. In 1897 I
bought 100 acres for $3.50, and
broke 40 acres, and in 1898 raised
900 bu. of wheat and paid ! the
crop on the land, and broke out 20
acres more. This year 1 raised
enough flax on 40 acres to finish
paying for the land. How is that
for North Dakota? I think it far
better for the renter in the east to
come here, and either take home
stead or buy on the crop plan. I
advise all my friends to come.

North Manchester, Ind, Oct.
24.-I do not hesitate to say that
the country in North Dakota along
the Great Northern Railway is as
good as any country I ever saw.
Having invested in land four
years ago, it has been my privilege
to be there several times each
year ever since; and am highly
pleased with the investment.
My experience fully verifes the
statement that land can be pur-
chased at such prices that from 20
to so per cent, can, annually be
realized on investment by proper
tillage, beside the rapid advance
in prices on farm lands. Those
wishing to invest in farm lands
should not fail to take a trip to
that country over the Great North
ern railway, and see for them
selves.
There r still a limited number
of homestead lands to be had, also
some Accomplishments can be. So
cured at surprisingly small prices.
These give opportunity to live a
few years where improvements are
constantly made, without being
numbered with heavy taxes. Ii
those in the east who live on
rented farms only knew the posi-
bilities of this country, they would
cease paying landlords and make
some sarcifce to own a good home
in a few years for themselves. !
It is useless to describe all the
products grown. It is not saying
too much to state that crops are
immense. The summers are de-
lightful. Having enjoyed a stay
in N. d., in every month from
March to November, I know
whereof [ speak. The winters,
though cold, are enjoyed by per.
sons who have lived there fol
years. Those, who, are indus.
trious, are prosperous and con.
tented. Rev. DAVID HoLL1NGER.
