trip to Peever, Hans Hanson, a farmer,
met with peculiar accident. On &C.
count If the cold, he was walking be-
side his wagon to keep warm, when
he stumbled over snarl of weeds by
the roadside. He fell directly under
the wagon and the rear wheels passed
over him, inflicting serious although
not fatal injuries.
Pooling with companion who car
ried gun "he did not know was load
ed" resulted in the death of Albert
Johnson, 16 years old. near Fruitdale.
Young Johnson and Arthur Fartig, a
friend, were playing with two shot
guns, both of which they thought emp

was accidentally discharged, the

BABYs TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old.
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell of, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt.
"We tried a great many remedies.
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things. and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura REM
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

Hookworms and Wooden Shoes.

According to w. F. Arnold, M. D.,
late surgeon in the United States
navy, writing in the Medical Record.
the hookworm larvae, because of the
activity of their movements, can pene-
trate into any crevice OF a shoe that
will admit water. and he believes it is
probable that the larvae may be able
to penetrate the crevices between sole
and upper which will not admit water.
Ordinary shoes with machine sewed
welts will not keep one immune from
the hookworm. The wooden sole is
necessary, he says.

DAKOTA MAY GET BEST LAND.
To Have First Pick In MeIlette
County.

County.
Gregory.-Those who have received
the high numbers in the recent land
drawing giving them a chance to Sc
lect only such lands as are left after
those who secured the lower numbers
have taken the best, are in a grumpy
humor in spite of the fact that state
ment was issued by the secretary of
the Gregory Commercial club that the
state will be allowed to select not
more than two sections in each town
ship in Mellette county as indemnity
school land to replace the land taken
by the Indians as allotments in Sec
tions 16 and 26 throughout the county.
The trouble started when some
homeseeker of an investigating turn
Of mind examined the official map of
Mellette county closely and found that
forty-one sections of school land (sec-
tions 16 and 36J had been taken by the
Indians as allOtments. In all such
cases the state under the law is allow
ed to go upon the lands in advance
of the settlers and select the best
lanQS tnat are LETT, IN lieu OF those Ia
ken by the Indians, thus indemnify
ing the state school fund.
In this case it will be necessary for
the state to select forty-one sections,
as that is the amount of school land
that has been taken by the Indians
at allOtments.
And the fact that there are only
about thirty sections of unalloted land
in the county which were classified by
the governments appraisers as A No.
l is the cause of the present lively
discussion, as it appears to great
many of the homesteaders that there
will not be enough of the best lands
to indemnify the state, to say nothing
of leaving any of it for the home
steaders.

THE TEA PENALTY.
"A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from busy railroad town
the wife of an employee of one Of the
great roads says:
my husband is a railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
1t has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself.
HE has been great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked 1t
strong.
Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first 1t soothed him, but
only for an hour or SO, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would 60 to his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss Of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
AT first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste OF
it, and it somehow seemed to do him
good. he added it to his evening meal
Then, as he grew better. he began to
drink 1t for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
His condition is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep il
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made mo-
other change in his diet.
His brother, who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking, was persuaded
by us to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength" Name given by

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
The ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANscoNTiNENTAL RAIL
WAYS,

Aast august there visited the Cana
dian west the vice-president Of the
largest individual hardware company
In the United States. Az his firm have
= turnover Of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm Implements. this
man took deep interest in crop con-
.diuons In Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings In an article
Nor the Hardware Reporter. This ar.
ticle should be Of special interest to
FARMERS.
The writer speaks Of the Importance
OF the spring wheat crop Of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
OF the importance Of the oat crop and
also OF the winter wheat crop, as well
~ barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been great sue
cess. and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success in
almost any portion Of the three prov
tnces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard Of the high character of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this ARTICLE
I'm land Of such great sweep, and
OF such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present Of the same overwhelm-
ing Importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces
It Is the one absorbing topic of inter-
est and Of conversation during it's
growing and its harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe of large part Of the Domin-
ion. Its influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands Of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower of their young men to it's op-
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come Of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers Of this one all
important crop, and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only short time ago
were regarded az Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
coffin of that ancient Malthusian de-
fusion that population tends to outrun
the means of subsistence, since the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent Of
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200,000,00O bushels, SO
that your Imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out
come"
During the months Of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production of 200 million
yield of wheat will not likely be real
lied, but even with this, the threshing
REPORTS coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.
