Not so many years ago the agr1-
cultural department of the govern
ment, in casting about for crops
suitable for the climate of western
North Dakota and other states where
the soil was not so heavy as other
wheat raising sections and where
the annual rainfall was lighter, came
upon durum, or what is commonly
known as macaroni, wheat. The
plant was harder than the ordinary
strains of wheat, but the berry was
as rich or richer in nutriment, and
the wheat was harder and resisted
extremes of temperature better than
the ordinary strains of fife wheat.
The planting of this grain in the
northwest has resulted in a large
annual increase In the crop of durum
wheat and the markets have come
to recognize it as a necessary part
of the crop for which porvision must
be made. Owing to the fact that it
differed somewhat from the older
kinds of wheat and in milling some
changes must be made from the Or
binary machinery, the price has been
slightly below that for the older var
ieties of wheat, although the lower
price is not justified by any differ
ence in the nutitive quality. 1t was
suggested at a meeting of the grain
growers of the state some time ago
that the way to bring the price of
durum up to where it should be was
to create a demand for durum -four
and it was suggested that a day be
set apart in the state to be known as
''Durum Wheat Day" on which the
people of the state generally should
use durum -four to the exclusion of
ordinary -four, and thus begin the
movement for the widening of the
demand for this product. In accord
ance with the sentiment expressed
by the grain growers, Governor
Burke has designated October Z as
Durum Day, and his proclamation
appears elsewhere in this issue of
the Tribune. The idea is good one
and if the people of the northwest
will carry on the campaign for the
recognition of durum wheat and dur
stantial advance will have been made
for the farmers of the state who
raise annually many millions of
bushels of durum wheat.

His Longest Engagement.

At the Army and Navy club In
Washington one evening group of Of
ficers, most Of them young men, were
swapping stories Of various engage
ments during the war with Spain and
the subsequent troubles in the Philip.

Among the silent listeners was one
grizzled veteran, naval commander
Of national renown. 1t must have &C.
Cured to one Of the young men that
it was peculiarly ludicrous that OFF,
GERS not long out Of the academies

sat silent in corner. So, turning to
the veteran, one Of the young officers
blithely asked:

Star
PouIticsd With Mud.
A noted explorer recently returned
from central Africa tells Of unique
method employed by his companions
and himself to alleviate the dreadful
agony Of prolonged thirst. In parts of
the dark continent there are great
stretches of country where no water
f1t to drink is to be found, although
there are here and there pools Of thick,
stagnant mud. In such country the
party wandered for FIVE days without
water and might have persisted but for
an idea that occurred to their leader.
Following his advice and example,
they collected the stagnant mud wher-
ever 1t was to be found and made 1t
into long poultices, which they fas-
tened round their bodies next the skin.
This simple process they found to give
great relief.-Iondon Answers. #.~s "A.

CONDITIONS IN THE DAKOTAS.

The rapid change in conditions in
the Dakotas during the past decade
is of remarkable interest to Old set
lers of the two states, who were here
when land was a drug on the mar
ket, when settlers were few, con-
ditions untried, and farms were two
be had almost for the asking
A few years ago there were millions
of acres of unoccupied government
land to be had for filing upon 1t,
and land in private ownership was
held at low value and there was
little sale for it.
This condition has passed and an
Aberdeen news dispatch reflects
the general condition when it says:
Thousands of people are arriving
in Aberdeen every week in search
of South Dakota lands. Last night
one hotel turned away over lOo
applicants for rooms, and the other
obstetrics were similarly crowded.
While farm lands which sold for
$40 an acre ten years ago are now
bringing $45 and $50. there has
been no decrease in the demand for
them,
In all parts of the state of North
Dakota there is a healthy demand
for farm land and the price of 1t Is
steadily increasing The crop har-
vested this year will give the move
ment in real estate big impetus,
and with the increase in the sale OF
farm land will come continual ana
steady advances IN city property.
Out in the western part of the state
where q few years ago were nothing
but scattered ranches and range cat
tie shomesteaders and buyers by the
thousand have settled up the country
and one of the biggest crops in the
history of the state is being har'
harvested. Conditions are changing
so rapidly under the eyes of the
people that they do not appreciate
how North Dakota is coming into
her own.

vAI11E OF GOOD ROADS.

r F. Yoakum, the head of the big
Rock Island and Frisco railroad sys-
tenn. like J. J. Hill of the Great Nor
thern, never misses an opportunity
to deliver an address of practical
value to farmers, and in recent ad'
dress had the following to say OF
the subject of good roads as they
affect the farmer.
Farming is rapidly becoming more
of a science, to insure fair return
on the constantly approaching value
OF land, the amount of crop per acre
must be increased and the cost of
hauling it to the railroad station re-
duced, After the farmer has solved
the question of soil treatment and
methods of cultivation, there still
remains the movement of the crop
over the wagon roads to the railroad
station. This expense the farmer
must bear and it enters into his cost
of production just as much as culti-
walton, harvesting and ginning, and
which, lis a branch of expense upon
which a greater saving can be made
than in any other way.
We have numberless instances
where the construction of railroad
has advanced the value Of farm
lands from SO to $50 per acre. There
fore, saying nothing of the relative
comforts of a good road over a bad
one, good roads are a splendid in
vestment for the farmer.
According to the Office of Good
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the average cost
to haul ton Of farm produce one
mile In this, country is twenty-five
cents. The American Encyclopedia
tells us that similar service On Euro
pean highways costs but cents. We
have as good teams as the farmers
of Europe. 1t is the condition of the
road that makes the difference. The
Public Roads Office also states that
on farm and mining products, by
having as good roads as those in
Europe saving could be made in
the transportation of same of $780,
0oo, 900 a year. 100000 Of which
would be saved on the three pro-
ducts OF wheat, corn and cotton.
As the. farmer uses both the rail-
roads and wagon roads more than

How to Fight the Flies.

Flies arc responsible for the
spread Of contagious and infec-
tious diseases. They adhere to
window Gaines. dishes and other
perpendicular surfaces by means
Of minute globules Of oil. and
often their oily footprints are
GERM LADEN. Flies should
be excluded from sickrooms.
They carry filth germs in. and
they carry disease germs out.
Food supplies should be particu-
larry guarded. The same flies
that are attracted to the food on
the table and are so especially
fond Of milk likewise delight In
filth. even of the most danger
Gus kinds. which they are sure
to carry around with them M
their feet. Fly maggots live and
grow in manure and filth. and
mature dies hover. about the
same material to lay their eggs
and seek bits of food. Cleanli-
ness about the kitchen and back
yard, screen doors, window
screens, fly paper and fly poi
sons are the housekeepers' prin-
cipal weapons in warfare against
flies.

teach the settler the proper method
of irrigating. Many men have come
to North Dakota with far less money
and, in fact, with only pluck, energy
and perseverance, who today are
wealthy, The settlement of the state
/ has been made by such hardy races
as the Norwegians, Swedes, Canad'
ians, Germans. Russians, and native
Americans from the older settled
states. All classes of foreigners
make good citizens, especially after
becoming Americanized, and many Of
our most successful farmers are OF
foreign birth, who have come as Inn
migrants and acquired their wealth
from the successful tilling OF the
soil. All we'll minded, hard working
men are welcome. and to such the
opportunities for obtaining fortunes
lin cultivating the irrigable lands OF
North Dakota was never better. NJ
The second biennial report Of the
North Dakota geological survey, is.
sued in 1902, treats very exhaustive.
ly of the Ignite coal fields Of the
state and from this report the fol.
lowing data is largely complied.
While thin seams of Ignite have
been recognized in the eastern part
Of the state, workable seams are not
found except in the Turtle Noun
tains, till the center of the state Is
reached. Only this region in which
workable seams Of Ignite may rea-
sonably be looked for, is included
in this report under the term Ignite
area. Even when SO restricted, It
is of very great extent, equal to at
least half of the state of Ohio. II

in the library. Soon after an old
friend, slightly more learned than the
rich man, came to call.

sit down with my books and read"
Hugh took down book, looked at it
and put it back: took down another.

peated the process several times"
Then he asked, John, where did
you get these books"

them What's the matter? Aren't

They're good books" was the re-
ply, but they're all the same John,
