Mckenzie, N. D., July 22.-Nearly
every day party Of homesteaders
from the drought-stricken part Of
South Dakota pass through here, trav-
cling overland with all their earthly
possessions in Z couple of wagons.
The conditions around Lemon and adj
jacent town, from which most Of
them hail, could scarcely be worse.
Grass and hay have disappeared long
ago and stock has to be removed from
the country to keep them from starv-
ing. Some Of It Is driven out, but :
majority Of the cattle have been 30
weakened by trying to subsist on
bare soil that they cannot stand the
trip and are abandoned TO shift for
themselves. The homesteaders hav )
come up into North Dakota to earn
enough money to furnish them with
the bare necessities Of life during the
twelve months leave Of absence which
they have secured from their claims.

RYDER FARMER SATISFIED WITH
CAMPBELL SYSTEM.

Peter Benson, VINO farms one of the
best farms out in the Ryder district,
was a visitor in Minot Friday and we
enjoyed a half hours visit with him Il.
Mr.. Benson is a successful farmer.
and yet he realizes that farming n
one of the hardest lines OF business
OF which to make success. New
problems are confronting the farmers
every season. This year Mr.. Benson
has been experimenting with the
Campbell system and he believes
that he has field of wheat upon
which he used the packer that will
average fifteen bushels per acre Five
acres were plowed last fall, and this
Will yield scarcely anything. Mr..
Benson believes in deep blowing and
says he noticed that number of
farmers between Minot and Ryder
were trying Campbells method, in
blowing their land now. Most Of
them, however, are not blowing near
deep enough in consequence they
will be disappointed next year and
condemn the system. Mr.. Benson
has five acres Of potatoes which were
frosted about the time they were
ready to blossom. They are growing
again nicely, but he would like to
know whether to expect any spuds
or not from the patch.

And find the train is late;
Wake up with an awful pain
And wonder what you ate;
Read none but best selling books
And can't tell what you've read;
Talk of dresses, cash and cooks,
Or who is being wed;
Live some place a little while
And then desire to move;
Every week a change of style
To keep US from a groove;
Busy signal on the phone
Just when you want to talk;
Auto tires to bits are blown
And then you have to walk;
Modern transportation lines
Without place to sit;
Landscape hid by painted signs
That make you throw fit;
Daily scandal over graft
And statesmen swearing mad;
Half the people wholly daft
And everybody bad;
Noise around and on each side
And smoke all through the air;
People rushing eager-eyed,
Not getting anywhere;
Some one makes a hit today,
Tomorrow he's forgot;
All must work and none may play
This is the human lot.
Modern work and modern life,
Advantages supreme,
A whirling, seething endless strife
How restful it would seem
To find the olden, golden days
That we have long despised,
And ignorantly walk our ways
And be uncivilized!
