Prairie Fires Damaging to Soil.

William Long, n of Stutsman cOun-
tvs farmers says in his opinion, the
best thing for this country is keeping
down prairie fires. 1t gives the snow
a chance to stick on the surface In
stead of being blown off into the cou-
lies and as the snow melts in the
spring it all goes into the ground and
keeps moisture for the crops. when
most needed. He said, 81 notice me
difference in breaking. Where ground
has been burned over the year before,
the soil beneath the top sod is drler
and harder to break than where the
grass has not been burned over the
fall before. | think that a moist Sol
also helps draw more moisture. When
the whole country is protected from
fires and the ground broken up NOR
generally believe it will make
great difference in the certainty O.
crops and the increase OF the
rainfall"

Plant Trees.

This will be a good season to set
out shade trees. The moisture from
the melted snow would give them a
good start and a very little rain fall
will carry them through the first year,
after which a little are would insure
their growing. Many of the towns of
this part of the state are advocating
planting trees this spring. Farmers
will also do some tree-planting.

A Wonderful Invention.

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention of
articles of minor Importance. Many of
the most popular devices are those de
signed to benefit the ecple and meet
popular conditions. and one OF the
most interesting OF these that has ever
been invented is the DIR. White Electric
Comb patented Jan. /, $50. These
deriul combs positively cure dandruff,
hair falling out, sick and nervous head
aches, and when used in connection
with DR.. Whites Electric Hair Brush
are positively guaranteed to make
straight hair curly in % days time.
Thousands OF these electric combs have
been sold in the various cities of the
Union. and the demand is constantly
increasing. Our agents are rapidly be-
coming rich selling these combs. They
positively sell on sight. Send for sam

There is a prospect that a rail

The proposition is being made
that towns and communities along
the line of the protected route
shall take stock in the road, or
make donations, of small amounts
and give terminal facilities etc.
We do not know anything about
the parties who are promoting the
scheme but think the proposition
a good one and hope it may be
carried out. Railroads are expen-
sive things, but they are great
