There will be more live stock
raised in North Dakota than ever
before. Farmers are discovering
the futility of the all grain crop,
and diversifcation has gained in
popular favor. Every farmer has
some hobby. Some will raise
fruits, others horses, still others
will try hogs and sheep. More will
devote attention to. cattle, either
in the beef or dairying forms, than
to all the other plans. These new
departures will necessitate changes
in farming methods. Forum.

ILLEGAL FENCING
OF PUBLIC LANDS
Here Is Where the Government
Adopts "Wre Pulling"
Tactics.

By direction of President Roose-
velt and in accordance with in
strnctions issued by the general
land Office, small armies of men
armed to the teeth with stump
pullers, axes and other instruments
of destruction will sally forth from
the land Offices in the western
grazing states on Monday for the
purpose of destroying all fences
illegally erected by cattlemen on
the public lands. The act prohib-
iting the building of fences on the
public domain was passed on Feb.
ruary 25, 1885, but has been put
into execution occasionally and in
spots. The land Office has an
nounced that the law will be
strictly enforced after April l, and
the work of destruction will conse-
quently begin Monday and con-
tinue until every vestige Of a fence
inclosing public land has been re-
moved from the landscape. It will
be no little job and the expense at
tached will be heavy, as there are
thousands of miles of such fences
in the grazing country and most Of
them are strongly built Of barbed
wire with cedar posts. 1t is esti-
mated that it will require the serv-
ices of at least ten thousand work
men to complete the work within
a year.
, The orGer, which was issued by
ex-Secretary Hitchcock, is as fol.
lows:
'It shall be the duty Of the
special agent on receipt of any
charge or complaint, or upon infer.
nation being acquired by him
, from any source, that an unlawful
inclosure is being maintained by
any person or persons, association
or corporation, at once to proceed
to secure sufficient data including
a description of the lands inclosed
with reasonable certainty, not nee
essarily by metes and bounds nor
by government supervision or sur
veyed lands, but only that the in
closure may be identified and the
person or persons guilty Of the
violation as nearly as may be, and
by description if the name can not
on reasonable inquiry be ascer-
tanned, and at once to submit such
case, with the data thus obtained
to a United States attorney for
prosecution"
This order, which is almost as
long and involved in hypotheti-
cal question, followed communi-
cation from President Roosevelt to
Mr.. Hitchcock, in which he wrote:
"Year in and year out you and I
have been besought by men inter.
ested in stock growing to permit
the fences to stay up for another
six months or another year on the
ground of great damage certain to
be done by taking them down.
Many Of the men making these re-
quests are entirely honest men,
whose requests it would be in the
interest of the community to
grant were it legally possible to do
SO, but it is quite impossible to
permanently permit such an ar
rangement. There must be some
adequate provision of law if there
is to be a satisfactory solution Of
this problem, and in default of this
provision the present faulty law
must be enforced"

settled by the sturdy farmers who
mean to make it their permanent
homes. has there been such de-
mand for North Dakota lands.
This is especially true of the un-
cultivated lands in the western
portions of the state. To them at
the present time the tide of immi-
grafton is directed.
For several years the cheap lands
in the Canadian northwest have
been the ones which have attracted
the great crowds of homeseekers,
and to them the vast army of in
dustrious and enterprising men
who have people.l that region with
the Drawn and brains in the world
have turned. But while the tide
was passing us by, no one lost hope.
Every student of the advantages
and opportunities which lie wait
ing for the man who is willing and
ready to take them in this state,
knew that in time the tide would
turn and the better conditions
which are to be found in North
Dakota would soon set it in the
direction of our borders again.
That condition is here. AL
ready the demands for lands has
passed that of recent years. The
men who are desirous of building
homes for themselves and futures
for their children, men who have
been renting in the older states
and realizing nothing for their Ia
bors, and who desire to start with
small beginnings and build up to
a competency, the men who desire
to have the advantages of schools
and churches and civilization, and
have all these combined with the
opportunities for making fortunes
which in a few years will place
them outside the need of caring
for the future, are coming to North
Dakota.
The western portion of the state
will naturally receive the greater
part of this class of citizens, be-
cause they can secure in that part
of the state lands just as good as
can be found anywhere in the
world at prices which places
quarter section within the reach of
every man with energy and health,
and on such terms that he can be
the owner of home so soon as he
becomes citizen of the state.
There lies in the western count
les of the state great undevel-
oped empire, richer in natural re-
sources than the gold strewed
lands of the Incas; an empire
where the hand of Providence in
the ages past has placed an amount
OF fuel sufficient to supply the
world for centuries; an empire
where towns and villages and
churches and schools dot the
broad sweep of rich prairie like
stars in the midsummer sky.
The people who are seeking
homes have tried the wilderness of
Canada and the remuneration ex-
cept for the spectacular becomes
Aeeting shadow when sought by
the tiller of the soil, The uncer-
tainty of the climate, the lack of
opportunity, the consequent fail
ures which must Of necessity
cone to those who seek to convert
an impossibility into possibility,
have discouraged these people and
the others who are looking for
homes are seeking them where
there is no need of experiment, no
occasion for failure and no insur-
mountable obstacles to be over
come.-Grand Forks Times.

PATR1oTrsM AND HoRsEsHoEs

It seems that the British army was lately in need of 100000 pairs of horse shoes and, exercising the right of a freeman, the British war office bought them of an iron works in the United States of America because the American ironmaster offered to, and did, sell them cheaper than any other concern in the world. It has long been notorious fact that this country can produce the cruder wares of iron and steel cheaper than any other, due to the fact of our exhaustless stores of ore, coal and stone lying contiguous to one another.
 And yet, in the abundance of it's pa ternalism, our government has "pro- tected" this poor, little infant industry of the manufacture of horseshoes cent a pound. Little doubt this same Amer. iean concern that supplied the British army with horseshoes also supplies the American army with horseshoes. It would be instructive if the two invoices were printed side by side, for the Amer ican public to scrutinize. It is not at all hazardous to reckon that the shoes were sold to our own war office at a price 50 per cent greater than the same merchandise was sold to the, British war office. That is not very patriotic, but we can all see thrift writ large in the transaction.
 If our government should order a keg of horseshoes from foreigner, we all know what would happen. There would be a wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the official that perpetrated the iniquity would be flung, neck and crop, into the outer darkness of private life. We all reeollect how brave was the announcement on the part of men in authority that the supplies and ma terials necessary to the building of the Panama canal, including certain ship ping, would be bought where they were to be had cheapest. And that is not all we remember. We remember that they were not bought in any such fashion, but the foreigner wss absolutely shut out from competing. It is great Amer. ican enterprise, and is not to be dis graced by contact with any vulgar and nasty cheapness.
 When our manufacturers have any nasty and cheap stuff on hand, they sell it abroad; as, for instance, this trans action in horseshoes. No high-toned American war horse is going to be in. suited with cheap shoe.

Year after year Sanford B. Rieaby has strengthened his singing party with the William H. West big Jubilee Min strels, he recognizing the fact that sing ing is the anchor of minstrelsy, since the days of Homer when the wandering minstrel played his flute and sang the songs that chronicled the events of the day to gaping multitudes. The song of the minstrel has fascinated the world. Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron, Tennyson and our own Longfellow have emblazoned the minstrel and his songs in immortal verses. The human voice has more charm than any mechanical musical instrument ever contrived; a chorus of twenty trained male voices support the twelve eminent soloists in the grand musical program offered by the William H. West great minstrel or ganization, which will be seen at the Dreamland theater on October and 3.

Their food may satisfy the appetite, but it fails to nourish the body simply because the stomach is not in fit condition to do the work it is supposed to do. It can't digest the food you eat. The stomach should be given help. You ought to take samething that will do the work your stomach can't. do.
