Dry farming on the Laramie plains
has been a decided success, so far as
the year 1906 is concerned. In some
cases where there has been plenty of
water for irrigation, it has not been
used because deemed unnecessary.
this is true of the ranches Of Charles
and Oscar S%odergreen. They have quite
a large acreage of grain between them
and not one drop Of water has been
used on the splendid crops of oats and
wheat, which are now coming rapidly
to maturity, Some of the wheat on
MIR. Charles Sodergreen's place stands
o than five feet high and is headed
out wonderfully well. The oats will
doubtless run on an average more thar
fifty bushels to the acre and a large
portion Of this crop is upon ground

Sodergreen ranches, without irriga
ton, are as fine as those on the expert

The bitter trail in q woman's life is TO

struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself TO her lonely lot? The alb

together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become eStranged thereby. Even If they
DO not drift apart, n may read the whole
extent OF their disappointment in the eyes
OF such a childleSs couple when they rest
on the children OF Others. To them the
largest familydoes not seem too numerous.
In many cases of ~barTenneSS or child

easily removed by the cure of weakness on

Vorite Prescription has been the means of
