DRAINAGE MEANS

Less Than $40 Land Benefited

q Dug.

No one thing done during tho past
few years has added SO much to the
value Of the state as drainage. A law,
|copies after the Illinois law, was en-
acted a few years ago, and amended
in 1902. This enables those having
Land needing draining to have 1t done
by the county and the land benefited
pays the expenses. In the past two
years the following counties have talk

Mcleod, Waseca, Norman, Wilkin,
Swift. Benton, Douglas. LIE sueur.
counties have dug liz bitches av-
eraging seven miles each in length,
making a total Of 1856 miles, costing

287 acres Of land. In addition to this,
twelve counties are now at work on
80 bitches over 200 miles in total
length, which will cost q quarter OF
million dollars.
The direct benefit Of these bitches Is
to make land previously of little value
Efor AGRICULTURAL purposes, imme diately
VALUABLE and even Of more value than
1.-THE higher land. While the drainage
has been general, the Red River val
iley has done more under the law than
miles Of bitches, all dug the past year
lWhile some lands will be benefited
more than others, It is reasonably safe
| to say that the average benefit is $1t
an acre, which brings the total benefit
up to more than IS $lo'e9o o00 6o and al
| The law at first was not fully under
stood and many were cautious abou
commencing work under 1t, but the
law having been fully tested in the
courts and sustained, the next few
1years, will show much better results
than the past. The people realize TIT
necessity of drainage. To copy thu

The Mild Liquid Laxative for Both Adult.
and Children.

All mothers know the difficulty in trying to
make children take medicine. It is black day
for the little ones when their stomach is out Of
order and they have to take those nasty reme-
dies which stick In the throat and leave a bad
taste IN the mouth all day long,; for when these
medicines are taken into the little ones stomach
they grippe terribly and cause much annoyance.
A friend told me what Cascarin had done for her
can honestly say that Cascarin has no equal.
It is a pleasure in taking and after taking.
MY advice to mothers is to keep Cascarin, as 4
do, always on hand. u It solves the problem OF
treating children's ailments and win save you q
great deal of anxiety. as well as worry, many

big doctor bills when you can be cured by the
best prescription that the world has ever known.

IN ART CIRCLES

+ Among the Minneapolis artists who
have been doing work of conspicuous
interest and merit this year is Miss
Elizabeth Norris. u She has put in a
very active year in her studio at her
home, and as result has brought out
several series of i designs for posters
and postcards that are bold and Wig
.orous delineations of quaint foreign
types in picturesque costumes. The
coloring is especially fine and striking.
Equally strong Is a plate for repro
duction in the three-cOlOr process Of
the little Hiawatha SO dear to the
hearts Of school children. This is de-
signed especially for school room dec
Grafton, and will be followed by two
other companion subjects The Hia-
watha print is strong but delicate in
color, charming In sentiment, simple
and poetica1 in its conception.
B Miss Norris certainly has found a
congenial field for her artistic abili-
ties and her development as an illus
traitor and a decorative painter will
be watched with much interest.
The first competition held during
the winter by the Minnesota State Art
society for designs for a seal, a GER
tiflcate of membership, a diploma, a
medal Of award and a 1etter-head, not
yielding fully satisfactory results the
governing board has announced a new
competition that will be open until
July 6. Conditions may be learned by

Fruit Promises Big Crop.

Tacoma, June % State Horticul-
turist A. Van HOlderbeke has returned
from an extensive trip through the fruit
and cereal districts of Eastern Washing
ton. He says there will be heavy crop
Of fruit, generally speaking, the state
over. In certain spots along the Co
lumbia river late May frosts did some
damage to the apple crop, but in every
case this ia local.
The best luck, Mr.. Van Holderbeke
thinks, that has happened the state for
several months is the heavy rain that
fiji over the most part Of the east side
districts. Tie declares that the wheat
districts we're beginning to need rain. and
the showers were sufficiently copiOus
to warrant the safety of cereals for some
time TO come, no matter how dry the
weather may later prove.
The fruit crop in the Wenatchee valley
is very heavy. Peaches there are un-
usually good. Cherries are a heavy
crop the state over, and are just now be-
ginning to ripen. Grapes are a good
crop in the extreme southeastern pOr-
tiOn Of the state. Prunes are a good
crop in all portions.
Small berries 10 the west side districts
are more than normally heavy and the
recent rains came in time to bring for
ward with a rush the late berries and
insure their safety.
