nervous, that's all. A man Is apt to
have very little sympathy with this con.

earthly reason why she should cry. She
has plenty to eat, plenty TO wear. and he
does everything he can, he thinks, to
make her happy and in spite Of that,
she sits down and cries softly to herself,
apparently without any cause or reason.

Flax Wilt.

Prof. H. L. Bolley of the North
Dakota Agricultural College favors
the press with the following interest
ing article regarding fax seed selec-
ton, crop rotation and absolutely
ne cessary precautionary measures.
This article is the result of persistent
and exhaustive experiment and farm
ers will do we'll to cpt it out and
keep it.
l think that many Iof our north
western farmers are now convinced
that there is definite disease of flax
which NAV we'll be called flax wilt.
There are also manyl who are we'll
aware of the fact that soil may be-
come Aax-sick, so sick, indeed, that
no more fax will grow upon it.
..ior those who are not aware of the
fact that great harms may come to
their soil by sowing upon IL poor
diseased type of fax seed, 1 again
call attention to the results observed
in the experiments Fat the agricul-
tural college. See Bulletin No. so.
This article is published for the
purpose of giving definite directions
for the saving of fax seed in such
manner as to be mpst likely to avoid
the continued introduction of the
fax fungi into thesoils of the state
Now is the time for fax growers to
do the work, for itg becomes more and
more certain that fhe disease will re-
main in the soil fdr many years when
once introduced, AS yet we have
been unable to find any economic
treatment of fax lick land which will
ag ain make it fit 70 grow crop of
flax. The disease is introduced into
new soil by wayS OF the seed. To
avoid doing this i will be necessary
to take about alE of the following
precautionary steps in the saving of
seed for future clpps:
Study your tlsx as it is growing in
the fields. 4
= Select patchS which is of even
growth, free FROM weeds and sure to
ripen. 4
Learn to know the plants which
are sick with viii disease and look
carefully for SUI p dry wilted plants
in the drills thrb bughout the area.
If you can f4d patch which is
free from the diseased plants save
this fax for seda. At this time new
land fax is ap&to be most free from
the disease. !
Thresh it wi en dry.
Store it dry / a clean bin.
Grade this 4 Jed in tanning mill
until only plui p bright colored seed
remain.
Then treat Il p seed by the formal
dehyde spray apd shovel method.
Every one of these steps are neces-
sary ones in theProcess of prevent
ing the occuren4 Of fax sick soil
Full reasons can bot be given in so
short an article bdt they arc about as
follows:
One must raise and select his own
seed from the field because general
crop will nearly always have some

di sease in it, and elevators are full Of
diseased samples. Damp flax seeds
collect and hold the spores of the
disease. Unless flax is all ripe the
i'm mature fax will make the rest
damp. As one cannot be sure that
here are no diseased plants in the
crop, it is necessary that all of the
bits of straw and chaff must be re
moved by thorough cleaning; for the
treatment is not strong enough to
kill the parasite in such straw AMI
chaff. If such PARTICLES are sowed
with the seed, the disease will be-
started in the soil.
It is also verysevident that no scaly
shriveled flax seed should be put IN
the ground; for It is found that the
wilt fungi lives inside of such seeds
a nd thus treatment of such will 10
Intellectual. One should treat tbss
sound, plump seed in order to kill
any free lying spores which may be
amongst or upon thepfe.
Further precaystons-After this
care has been tsken with the seed,
recommend shese further precau
tions: J 4.

Pasture one or more years, then

Finally do not allow any flax straw
or waste to get into the manure.
Burn it. 1t will be impossible to
feed fax straw and not have flax sick
land wherever such manure is ap-
Piled. Find some way. if possible,
by which practically all the flax stub

the land and burned before flax stub
BILE land is plowed.
I sincerely hope that the farmers
of this state may quickly appreciate
the serious nature of this soil disease
and begin at once to take all neces-
sary precautionssto keep their farms
free from the trouble. At the exper-
iment station we5hold ourselves ready
to answer all questions, which we can
answer, promptly, and desire to learn
from any farmer seuch experience as
he may have had. with the disease,
success with methods OF seed treat
ment, success or failure with methods
of cultivating, etc.
In regard to any such matters of
plant disease, write to the Botanical
Department OF the Agricultural Col
lege, Fargo.

North Dakota Prospects.

North Dakota prospects.
"Ten years he nee all North Dakota
land capable of cultivation, will be
valued at $50 per acre.
These are the words of one Of the
best farmers on the Missouri Slope.
He does not claim to any special gift
of prophecy NOR of being endowed
with second sight, but he asserts that
he is willing TO stake his reputation
and judgment upon that proposition.
A number of valid reasons form
the basis fors the faith so strongly
pre- claimed. In the first place land
will be scarce one of these days.
With the supply Of desirable lands
limited and Ihe number of people in
the United States desiring lands
steadily increasing gradual rise is
inevitable. .
Then, again, land in the near fu-
ture will become more productive. It
will be moreSprotitable. More money
will be made per acre than at the
present time. Farming is science
which even go good an authority as
Secretary of Agriculture JAS. Wilson,
of Iowa, says is but slightly under
stood. Experiments are being made
and will be made that will result
greatly to the advantage of the
ia rmer. The farmer will more aud
more realize the value of good farm

Well, ii may seem odd, but some OF
the Newport cottages were conceived
In much the same way as your own
dream house, says Ainslee's. | haven't
a doubt that Cornelius Vanderbilt and
his wife had the jolliest evenings pos
sible when they talked over the new
Breakers that was to rise from the
ashes OF the old. And don't you sup
pose that while Foxhall Keene and
his bride were in Europe they made
delightful little guesses as to progress
on the splendid place under construc-
ton on Long Island, and cablcd over
all sorts of absurd suggestions? Why,
OF course they did. At the present
moment, too. the young Payne Whit
neys, yachting somewhere around
Norway, are chattering away to each
other about the arrangement OF rooms
in that million-dollar home that Col
onel Oliver Payne finally decided to
give them in place of several pounds
OF candy as a wedding gift. Man
sions or marshmallows, it's all one

Publishers Neat Answer.

David Williams, the publisher or
technical and trade newspapers. one
day wandered into the Office Of one
Of the editors for a general talk about
matters OF mutual interest. The place
was somewhat shabby, and the editor
took advantage Of the opportunity TO
suggest that the wall be repapered. a
new carpet provided. and other i'm
provements made which would con-
duce materially to his comfort, con-
Guiding his catalogue Of what he
wanted with the sententious and
somewhat superfluous remark: Il
never could work to good advantage
in a hog pen"
Mr.. Williams looked about him and
rendered further conversation on the
subject unnecessary by quietly re-
marking
That is the first time | ever heard
the term hog pen applied by gentle
man to an apartment which was pecu-
liarly and exclusively his own"

TIME day was when men of promi-
hence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true to-day
of most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become SO justly famous, its
merits are known to SO many people of
high and low stations, that no one hesi-
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
L. G.. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. L. G.. Smith. pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro, GA. writes:
"Having used Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to it's true worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh OF the lower bowels. Other rem
edies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special
malady consider it we'll nigh a specific.

Mr. M. j. Rossman, a prominent mer-
chant Of Greensboro, Ca, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that
place, has used Peruna, and in a recent
letter TO The Peruna Medicine Co, of
Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows:
For long time / was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no relief.
Peruna was recommended to me by
several friends, and after using few
bottles am pleased to say that the long

years, and can heartily recommend
Peruns 10 all similarly afflicted. IL Is

Catarrh is essentially the same where
ever located. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.

Gospel Of Service and Reward

world and He will see that the reward
is sure. We are to do as nearly as
we can the things which He did when
He was upon earth. Behold His lit.
tie acts of kindness, as simple as the
giving of a cup of cold water! And
shall we forget that He is our pattern,
our copy?
Where is the return of the act of
kindness done long ago to a brother?
The stranger TO whom you one day
gave a cup of cold water took it as a
matter of course and has even forgot.
ten your name. Where, then, is your
reward? You were truly the good
Samaritan to the man who hated you,
and it seems that this is no return for
your kindness. But remember that
your reward for all of these noble
deeds is in the keeping of that one
who never forgets and who never
breaks promise.
The reward will surely come il the
deeds were done in His name. Your
life has been linked with the divine
life in the fufillment of a greater
plan. For you did these things not
alone for brother or stranger or en-
envy, but rather for that great friend
who says, "Ye shall in no wise lose
your reward" And you have made
sacred the ten thousand ministries
which have blessed the home, the
street and the store. Verify | say
unto you, we shall not lose your re.
ward"
But we are not told here when the
reward will be given. That is left to
the Great TIE .cher. and it is well that
it is. for many of us in our haste to
receive the reward quickly would be
satisfied with too little. What do we
know about the full reward and when
it should be given? We would go
about putting full values upon divine
acts. We would say that it mus. be
a golden or at least silver cup in
which the water is offered. But God
is satisfied with the common vessel IL
only it contains the refreshing
draught. Hence, Christ does not say
that He will reward only kings and
queens and millionaires, but He does
say whatsoever" and that means you
and me.
1t is well that we do not receive all
rewards here and now, for we would
in that case spend them too soon.
Eternal wisdom has laid up for US
many treasures which we are yet to
receive and which we are TO enjoy
forever
So you and | will ere long find that
the sum total OF the little deeds that
we have performed through the years
will constitute a more glorious life
than any of the great deeds of the
famous heroes.
This is the greatest comfort OF all
in our times of loneliness and wait
ing. This same omniscient One, who
assures us that we shall receive a re-
ward for every service. says in the
last words of His blessed book as
though He would have ii remembered
for ever. Behold, | come quickly,
and My reward is with Me to give
every man as his work shall be-"
No one who serves God. however hum.
bly,. shall ever lose his reward, even
though II be so small an act as giving
a cup of cold water to tne thirsty
