the practice of law till he was called

chief law officer of that department

years has been superintendent of all

ers. Mr.. Mcdonald says:
Editor Tribune: I have owned my
present farm for fifteen years and
have farmed it myself for the last
seven.
II have found land in Burleigh
county very profitable from the stand
point of raising crops and also from
the rapid rate in which it Is increas'
ing in value.
A farmer should have at least 32O
acres although a living may be made
off of 100, but I think most farmers
IA this section are not satisfied with
a mere living.
II have been convinced long ago
that the climate, soil and moisture are
1 sufficient for growing the best quail
tiles of grain, vegetables and grasses
if properly cultivated.
I'm fact there is no good reason for
failure. If failure does come it is not
the fault Of the soil or moisture, but
the fault lies with the farmer. He
alone along with carelessness and
poor work is responsible. Practical
ly any kind of grain, vegetables or
grasses can be grown successfully
here. ....
Wheat is the principal crop, yield
ing from IA to Is bushels Of excellent
quality, often grading No. hard

Il have used the Cuticura Remedies
for a very bad case Of eczema WITH com

shape Of a large pinhead on top of my

that was compelled 70 show it to doc

made very light Of IL. He gave me a
wash and told me to apply IL before go

morning. But the next morning my
hand was all swollen up and poulticed
it. When the doctor came to his ot1ce
showed him the hand and 20 my sur
prise he told me that he had never ex-
perienced such a case in his practice and
said it was well poulticed il. After
trying his different remedies the disease
increased and went up my arms and
finally TO my thighs. and legs generally
and finally on my face. The burning
was something terrible. After / had
tried this doctor, as ! thought. long
enough, / went to another doctor who
had the reputation Of being the best in
town. He told me it was a bad case OF
eczema and that it would take quite a
while to cure il. His medicine checked
the advance Of the disfase but no fur
