for itself. To the outsider, however,
one fact is self evident. The soil on
the Missouri river slope is certainly
right for corn, the summer weather is
all that corn demands and the past few
years demonstrate that the rainfall has
been unfaltering, and I would be will
ing to wager that the acreage devoted
to corn in 1906 will double that of
1905.
The tide Of immigration is certainly
rolling westward and this fall every
train is bringing to Bismarck many
farmers from Illinois, Indiana and Iowa
who are looking for the lands which
have made good so strong during the
past few years they have been titled
by competent farmers.
Probably the best evidence Of the
good crops out here is the class of bust
ness houses in this city. Every line
is represented by up-to-date merchants
not the kind one expects to find in
little country city, but stores which
| would do credit to cities of $4,000 peo-
I pie. The stocks are complete and are
not confined to the actual necessities
demanded by the farmer. They go
far in advance of this and carry in
liberal portion the novelties of. the sea-
sons. If there were not a demand for
this class of merchandise, the merchants
could not carry it, and the demand
is only created by the wealth produced
by the farmers. w. A. Otis.

Bismarck N. D., Sept. l3, 1905
Last week Colonel Gilbraith, commits
sioner of agriculture of the state of
North Dakota, had on exhibition At the
Minnesota state fair at Hamline,
weeks ago speculative interests in the
eastern grain markets stated would be
annihilated by black rust. (This week
he is at the Indiana state fair In In
dianapolis.) Farmers from all over the
central west who attended this fair
were amazed at the showing made.
Wheat that was supposed to have been
inoculated by the black rust grew to
q height of five feet and matured in
the very pink of condition. The fields
from which these samples were taken
Melted their owners from twenty to
thirty bushels an acre. Macaroni wheat
has been going in a great many sec
tions of this state as high as thirty
seven bushels to the acre, altho the
average is about thirty bushels for
this particular grain. Reports from
som counties give the yield of oats
from sixty to seventy bushels an acre,
and barley is going above fifty. The
entire section Of the state traversed by
the Great Northern railroad from Grand
Forks west to the boundary line is re-
porting crop conditions far in advance
of anything expected. The line of the
Northern Pacific from Fargo west of
Bismarck could not be improved upon.
here along the Missouri river slope,
which is shown on a map recently pub
lished by an experimental college at
Fargo as being in the semi-arid dis
trict, has produced this year under good
farming management the equal of any
thing in the state. Fields Of corn along
the line of the Northern Pacific road
for thirty miles east Of Bismarck look
more promising than any I have seen
in the sections of Wisconsin which are
supposed to be corn countries. The corr
here does not seem to stand quite as
high as that raised in the east, but
the ear is as large, if not larger, anc
is maturing in perfect condition. Flax

farm the first year it is cropped, viii

SUGAR MAKES STRENGTH

Ia ri


the Modern Maiden.
London World. ~
Various reasons have been assigned
for the increase in stature and strength
of the modern maiden, who has most
certainly grown uncommon tall and pro-
portionate1y muscular during the past
few years. 1t cannot be that outdoor
sports, gymnastics exercises, and so on,
have stretched her out and made her
as strong as she is, because her broth
ers have had precisely the same advan-
tages and they have not developed at
the same rate. It seems to me, there
fore, that the secret lies in the fact
that Of recent years girls have become
far greater consumers OF sweetmeats
than ever were their mothers and grand
mothers. 49,.
Time was when we should never have
dreamed of having sweets on our lunch
con, dinner and tea tables. Now 1t
would be quite extraordinary were one
not to offer these dainties And, what
is more, we are not merely content to
eat sweetmeats at our meals, but we
consume them at all times and in all
places between. meals. It was recently
said that boxes Of bonbons play con-
sp1cuous part in modern lovemaklng,
tsweets to the SWEET being apparent

Of the day guides himself thru the de-

one grows. Sugar,is the secret of
strength, he declares.
