 MT. and Mrs. A. F. Graham have the deepest sympathy of the community on account of the death of their 3-year old son Otis. The little fellow was stricken with spinal meningitis only last Monday morning, suffering great agony until death came to his relief about 3, p. m., Wednesday. Otis was the only son, an exceptionally bright child aud the idol of his parents, and his untimely taking away has almost distracted his parents and sisters with grief. Before death claimed him, he seemed to regain per feet consciousness and calling his mamma, papa and two sisters to the bedside he kissed each one affectionate ly, as if to take last good-by, and his little spirit was soon waited into the great eternity. 1t was dramatic scene such as none present had ever witnessed before.

A great boom has sprung up in Bone
steel, to which point the Northwest
ern Line is building. Last fall there
were fifty settlers there. To-day there
is a town of 300. Ninety days from now
there will be 5000. Five real estate
offices have opened, and town lots
are selling at from $500 to $500 each.
The Reservation will probably be
opened by a lottery plan, such as was
made use of in Oklahoma. Fifty thou
sand people are expected to take part
in the drawing fer the land.
To enter a homestead of 100 acres
one must be the head of a family or
have attained the age of twenty-one
years; a citizen of the United States
or one who has filed his declaration to
become such. To establish a title to
the land, residence must be maintained
thereon, improving and cultivating the
land continuously for five years.
With the completion of the North
Western Line from Verdigre to the
Reservation boundary at Bouesteel,
there will, without doubt, be a tremen-
dous influx of homesteaders as soon as
the Presidents proclamation sets a
date for the opening. Interest in the
matter in Nebraska is intense.

COULDN'T STkAlGhTEN UP.

Breed, Wis, June 16th.-Charles F.
Peterson, of this place, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto County, tells the fol-
lowing story:
For years I had an aching pain in
my back which troubled me very much,
especially in the morning.
Il was almost unable to straighten
my back and the pain was unbearable.
81 did not know what it was, but
seeing an advertisement, of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills | concluded to try a box.
Il can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than
anything else ever did.
81 feel as we'll now as ever / was.
81 have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to several others who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Peterson is a highly respected
man and one who would not so posi-
lively make a statement unless it was
absolutely true.

THE TREES.
Moisture Should Reach the Roots
from Some Other Direction Rather
Than the Surface.

Unless the owner of trees under.
stands some of the more important
principles of growth, there is danger
that he will, when applying water, do
o harm than good. To apply wa
ter in small quantities through the
droughty season is to cause the roots
in the ground to turn toward the sur.
face and grow in that direction. Then
when the watering is discontinued for
any reason the roots dry out much
O quickly than if they had not
been watered at all. When water is
applied to trees it should be in sufi.
Gent abundance to soak the ground to
a depth of several feet. The roots
will. then not turn up to get moisture.
If it is necessary to apply but little
water at a time it should not be put
Oh the surface of the ground. Dig a
hole and put a large piece of drain
pipe so that the water being thrown
into this pipe will soak deep into the
ground. In cas- of not having a
drain pipe or piece of tile, a hole can
be made sufficiently deep to act as a
reservoir. Let the water soak into
the ground from this hole. The idea
is to get the water to the roots from
some other direction rather than from
the surface of the ground.-Farmers'
Review.

Soft or Slushy Butter.

Softorslushy butter may result from
several causes. l would recommend
the feeding of coarse wheat bran, corn
meal and a small quantity of cotton
seed meal. A better quality of butter
can be made by feeding some good clo-
yer or timothy hay instead of all fod-
der or straw. The condition of the
cream is also important. 1t may be
churned too sweet, not be properly

should have plenty of acidity, be thick,

While the use of the best cows is .
Very important matter, yet the man
agement of the farm and the cattle
have something to do with the pro.
duction of milk, says an exchange
There are cows that will give more
milk on some farms than on others
due to better varieties of grass, more
grain food and more comfortable
quarters. An indifferent farmer may
have good COWS from which no profit
is derived, because of poor manage
ment. During long periods OF
drought the pasture may provide but
u fraction of the grass compared
with it's capacity early in the season
and 1t, therefore, becomes more diff
cult for the animals to supply them
selves. This deficiency the farmc
should observe and supply.

The land in question lies between the
