give relief but they fail to cure pefma-
nently. Sprays or snuffs amount 70
little or nothing except to give tempo

Catarrh is frequently located in inter
nal organs which cannot be reached By
any sort Of local treatment. All this il
known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal REM
edy which would reach catarrh at fits
source, to eradicate it permanently from
the system-this has been the desire Of
the medical profession for long time.
Forty years ago DR.. Hartman confronted
this problem. He believed then that he
had solved it. He still believes he has
solved it. He cures thousands of people
annually. During all these years Pc

he has relied.

Tile laid three feet to three and a
half feet deep and eight rods apart,
meaning twenty rows for one
quarter section, is about the re-
quirements in order to do a
thorough job. Much lands have
but part of each quarter section
low. That mea less, but we
estimate cost to drain the whole
quarter section, as above, it calls
for ffty-one thousand tile, 3-inch
size, cost $1,000 per thousand,
$4,000; 31-inch size cost $780,,
amounting to $4,000 The larger
size is recommended as best.
Possibly the upper half Of iceland
could be laid with 3-inch, balance
3a-inch. Three inch thing would
load four cars of $4,000 each.
The 33-inch would load four cars
of 10000 each.
Thing now is rated by our roads
here as CLASSIC rates, which for a
100 miles is 10 cents a hundred,
200 miles Is accents hundred, brick
is special class 100 miles five and a
half cents a hundred, 200 miles
eight cents per hundred. In Iowa
tile and brick are rated the same,
to ship to any point in the state in
mixed car loadsor otherwise. I be-
lieve if this matter is taken up and
properly presented to our Great
Northern people, that they will
grant the same rates, as they are
liberally disposed to help along any
permanent improvement, benefit
ting the farmers of this valley.
Ehe cost of opening up the bitches
to receive the tile is purely a local
matter. The cost can be very much
reduced by getting proper ma
ohinery to do the work. Any ma
chine agent can advise as to the
cost of such. The fall required is
very little if the outlets free, even
one inch to two hundred feet gives
satisfactory results.
In my own case, had I the tile to
lay this season at cost here stated,
the crops from three one-quarte1
sections of our land, this year,
would quite repay me the cost,
whereas now shall get little OF
nothing.
With freight rates and price of
tiling Of land in this valley will be
no more expensive than south of
us where it is being extensively
laid.

Goes to Chicago.

During the last few years the
state of North Dakota has devel-
oped at a wonderfully rapid rate,
and now that we are in the midst
of harvesting a banner crop, pros
poets for even greater improve
ment in all branches of business
are good.
Messrs. VIM. FL, Brown & Go.
have kept pace with the quick and
steady strides of our young COM
monwealth. Their business has
grown to such proportions that
they find, it absolutely necessary
to enlarge and branch out. With.
this end in view Mr.. Brown has
opened a branch Office at No. 155
La Sale street, Chicago, where he
has associated with him MI. J. z.
Britain, a member of the Chicago
real estate board, and one Of the
typical, hustling, reliable, bright
young men of that city. This
move has ben contemplated for
quite a while, and MI. Brown is to
be congrat ulated upon the matur-
ing of his plans, which will be of
great benefit to North Dakota
generally, and to the Devils Lake
country in particular. Mr. Brown
will spend part of his time in Chi
cago, but will be at Devils Lake

thoroughly understand real estate
matters, SO that the affairs of the
Devils Lake office of the firm will
be operated in the future the same
as in the past.
The state Of North Dakota is to
be congratulated upon this move,
for the reason that in Chicago in
the person of Mr.. Brown our state
will have a friend at court, who
will ever be ready and willing to
challenge her cause, and can do
SO intelligently and effectually.
Mr.. Browns success is to be at
tributed to three elements: First,
good. Judgment; second, hustling
propensities; and third, a liberal
use of printers ink. With these
three qualities combined in Chi
cago, North Dakota will be bene-
flied more than anyone can real
ize. The. firm will have at both
Offices unlimited capital with
which to conduct the farm land
and loan business, and to advertise
the immense advantages possessed
by our state for people in all class
es of business.
Mr. Brown and his charming
family will leave for their new
home in Chicago sometime next
week, where they will always be
glad to see their North Dakota
friends, whose name is legion, and
with whom they very much dis
like to part. MI. and Mrs. Brown
feel, however, that the superior
educational facilities afforded by
Chicago should not be ignored, as
it is their intention to bestow upon
their children the best possible
education. The best wishes of the
entire community will accompany

Circulation Of air. through the
drained soil, breaks down its. adj
heisiveness, and 9 compact tenac-
iious soil will gradually cru1mble
down to a loose porous mass, and
its mineral ingredients can then be
absorbed by the growing crops,
By no other meth&l is air made
to enter So deeply and circulate SO
freely in the. soil as by under
drainage. Free circulation of air
through the soil is necessary to
give full play to the chemical
actions and get full benefit Of it's
fertility, which our soil holds in so
richa store.
The most gratifying advantages
of understanding is the increase
yield of the crops grown, the in
vestment and improvement is per-
manent, yielding a constant and
handsome dividend year after year.
The quality. is much improved also
giving better grain and better
grass.
Anoth r advantage Of draining,
it makes the farmer master of his
calling, he can plough and work
intelligently and in season. There
will be no failure of his crops on
account of a wet season or a
drought as it is an admitted fact
that well drained soils are not az
fected by drought as those not
drained. The circulation Of air
through the soil and the deposit
from the air, makes up in some de-
gree for the amount of water ex-
hailed by the growing crops, and
it is certainly true that lands most
seriously affected by drought in
this. valley are our stiff compact
clay lands.
The practical advantages of farm
draining increasing as it does the
fertility and making available
qualities of the land not otherwise
reached, retaining sections of wet
land. changing same from unpro-
ductive to its highest possible fert-
|ility, is no longer a question of
Speculation, those who have OBJ
served and studied the effects of
this important improvements Of
the soils conditions are all alike

An important point is the cost.

and other points where they are
extensively used. Our facilities
for cheaply manufacturing the
goods warrants us in making this
statement.
Drainage removes the excess Of
water from the surface and from
the soil, and carrying it through
the drains, rendering the soil open.
and fraible, easily broken up and.
pulverized, consequently much
easily handled and with much bet
ter results. The deeper the drain
ing the deeper the soil and fewer
drains required.
Drainage increases the tempera-
ture Of the soil, warming it upmore
readily, being an important factor
in the termination Of seeds, subse-
quent growth and early maturity
of crops. also the water in its pas
sage through the air takes up and
holds in solution elements Of fer
tility Of great worth, in plant
growth, and carries them down in
to the drained soil, there being alb
sorbed and enters into the chemi-
cal combinations so essential for
plant food.
Drainage increases the depth of
the soil, if the soil is drained three
or four feet deep, the roots of
growing plants of grain, will per-
Mate that depth for q supply Of
plant food and moisture, otherwise
if the water level of the soil is
maintained near the surface for a
few days, during a season of wet
weather, the feeding Of roots will
be confined largely to so much of
the soil that may be above the
water line, seriously affecting and
retarding the growth and maturity
of crops, especially if the wet sea-
son is followed by long dry spells,
the land bakes and cracks, condi-
tions very apt to he found in this
section. Deeper soil made avail
able by drainage is practically a
farm underneath a farm furnish
ing SO much extra food supply.

THE PAPER.

The present condition of much
of the lands in this valley, owing
to the large amount Of rainfall, the
past month, has caused the matter
of drainage to be of direct interest
to many Of us farmers.
My lot was cast in this valley
among lands subject to overflow
in wet seasons, being heavy COM
pact soil.
My aim from the start was to
open up the section lines adjoin-
ing the lands and so divert the
water from doing any damage.
By survey it was found that we
had plenty of fall to carry away
the water, with that aim in view
we now have good graded roads
around each section of that low
land, but we find that such drain
age is insufficient at present, as
the amount of water tina, has fallen
upon the lands has largely remain
ed on same to our serious loss. I
find that in travelling about this
valley that what is my condition
at this time, is, the condition Of
quite a large majority Of our val.
ley farmers.
