lent Of this place, came very near
losing his wife, and now that she ID

gratitude knows no bounds. He says:
MY wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with two
good doctors, but kept growing worse.
The doctors said she could not live.
She failed from 200 pounds down to
100 pounds. This was her weight
when she began to use Dodd's kidney
Pills, and now she weighs 100, is well
and feeling stronger every day.
'She used to have Rheumatism so
bad that 1t would raise great bumps
all over her body and this is all gone,

did. They are all that saved her. We

BREEDING FOR CONDITIONS.

If one raises milk to sell to consumers
the year around IL is most profitable for
HIM to arrange his herd so that a portion
of them will calve in the fall and a portion
In the spring. If he makes butter. we be-
lieve the breeding for fall calves to be
the most profitable for the simple reason
that butter brings a higher price in cool
weather and IL the cows are dry or par
TALLY so during the summer the loss Is less
and the food costs less. With swine and
sheep one should breed according to the
market he is to supply. AS a rule we do
not believe that two filters OF pigs a year
is profitable in the end, though this is
something each one must decide for him
self. We are too much given to follow
ing along accustomed lines instead of
watching the demands Of our own partic-
ular market and catering to them. The
writer is located near a number of popu-
lar summer resorts, so, while we know
that eggs bring good prices during the
winter, our poultry venture is run largely
for the beneflt of this summer trade and
we find it more profitable than raising
eggs in winter to sell to the permanent
population of these towns. Were cond.-
tons different We should operate dirrer-
emily and probably as profitably under
such conditions. Watch you own market
and work for it regardless of what the
other fellow does whose surrounding con-
ditions may be entirely different

and a system OF Independent high

note worthy as indicating the tendency
toward GENERALIZATION in modern me-
-chanical engineering practice. While
ii MAJ be too much TO say that IL
marks he beginning Of the disappear
ance OF the fire engine IN large cities,
nevertheless, IL seems quite clear that
such a plant can furnish more effective
protection 70 a given area, and that,
aside from It's initial cost, Ii Is less
expensive TO maintain. The advantage
to the citizens is shown by the fact
that for the district In Philadelphia

FREIGHT RATES ARE
REDUCED ON GRAIN
The Great Northern Voluntarily
Lowers Rates Materially All
Over the West - Will Mean
$3,OoO,OoO to Western Farmers

The Great Northern Railway
Co. made the hearts Of all the
farmers Of the west glad indeed
Saturday, when it made the Off
cial announcement that hereafter
the fret yht rates OF grain would
be lowered, varvj"g from five
cents IL hundred ut WilliStCn,
N. d., to half q cent Il hundred
near he Twin Cities. At Ajinot
, the freight rates are reduced two
cents a hundred. On the Gran
vile branch, Towner branch,
Rugby to Antler branch, branch
from York to Thcren, the Lake,
ia branch to Sarles, the reduc-
tiOn is three cents a hundred.
There is a similar reduction in
South Dakota.
Whatseems so good about the
news is that the company made
the reduction without any de-
mands or requests, and no one
suspected that it would be done.
That the Great Northern is try
ing to hold the farmer up at
every turn of the road is not a
fact. The company has ever
worked for the upbuilding of the
west, and while the company has
made money out Of the west, it
has certainly done more for the
farmers than they can imagine.
This means that the Northern
Pacific and the 500 will have to
reduce the rates accordingly or
suffer a great loss II trade. 1t
means that the farmers of this
part OF this state will get two or
three cents a bushel more for
their grain than they otherwise
would. 1t means that the COM
parry will allow between two or
three millions of dollars to re-
main in the pockets Of the farm
ers that otherwise would so into
it's Golfers. 1t means that the
farmer and the railroad compa-
ny have at last formed a sort Of
a partnership and are working
for each others good. Three
cheers for James Hill and the
