Want to Buy Land.

We wish to call attention to

Devine Stenersen & Co., in this
issue. The company wish to
secure a list Of seventy-dvefarma
which will be sold right. In a
few weeks a colony OF nearly 100
Illinois and Iowa farmers are
coming to Minot and hope to
buy farms. They ofcourse wish
to buy right, and in nearly every
case will have the money to
plant right in the farm. With
t e coming OF spring, We under
stand that a good many people
t ON the east will come to North

feels certain that any real estate

will be given careful attention.

Keeping Alert

A writer in the New York Tri
bune Farmer we'll remarks that,
Living upon farm for forty
years does not make all men
good farmers. One of the easiest
things in the world is to get into
the habit of just going ON doing
things in the same old way, when.
often, both time and strength
might be saved by the exercise
Of a little ingenuity in thinking
out better methods, orby taking
advantage of better methods al
ready in use by others.
Ingenuity and observation are
indispensable faculties to every
man who wishes to be a sue
cessful farmer.
ga stitch in time saves nine' is
an old adage which every farmer
will do well to lay to heart; it will
be well to remember, also, that
the winter is a season in which a
great deal of this labor.saving
stitcllingma be done. The men,
ded harness and machinery put
in order, the new gate made, the
scrupulously careful cleaning OF
poultry houses and stables, the
planning for next summers crop
and garden; these are but a few
Of the stitches" that mean SO
much to the thrifty farmer. A
score OF Others will suggest them
selves

He longed for someone to

Carl thought and thought and
remembered q little girl he used

Perhaps the girl had not en-
tirely forgotten Carl. At any
rate, he concluded to write and
ascertain the condition Of her
