remained. The disc also granulated
the surface so no trash nor Jumps Of
dirt interfered with the making of a
perfect seed bed. Moreover, the inn
p~ortance Of a good seed bed and how
to make ii, with many farmers, was
understood for the first time. The
drag was used whenever required, to
break UP whatever, in the way of
crust, was formed by downpours of
rain, for conservation of moisture at
any cost was found to be absolutely
essential, since it lis the determining
factor that regulates the harvest. No
longer did farmers depend upon sum
mer showers to nourish the crops but
always had a suff7ciency of stored up
moisture in the soil-mosture held in
reserve to tide the crops over any dry
period that might occur between seed
time and harvest.
To insure this reserve of moisture,
the disc and the drag were resorted
to with considerable frequency, the
drag always used from two to three
times upon the growing grain. In
seasons of abundant rainfall, our up
to-date farmers now spare neither
time nor labor to the end that a large
surplus of moisture may be stored UP
for future use. They have learned
by bitter experience that the time to
conserve moisture is when there is
moisture to conserve. Weeds, those
persistent thieves of moisture, have
been reduced to negligible numbers
and no up-to-date farmer now will
tolerate many of them in his fields.
At first, and for several years, many
farmers said they could o afford to
put so much work on their fields; but
now there is a general feeling that
no one can afford not to put all the
necessary work on his land thai may
be required to destroy weeds and to
insure. without question, all the moist
ure that may be required and to have
plenty left over.
Corn and Alfalfa.
Corn and alfalfa now are common
crops. Moreover, both corn and all
falfa have been found to be extremely
profitable as money crops, while the
secondary influence each has on the
land is highly beneficial.

farmer nor the business man should

development is rapid and that the time

North Dakota Farms.
The number of farms in North Da-
kota has increased two and two thirds
times in twenty years. For the ten
years ending in 1910 the increase in
population vas about 81 per cent, but
the increase in acreage of farm land
was about SO per cent. The number
of farms increased "a per cent, and the
increase in land values alone added
1857, 0zS, 900 to the wealth of the farm
ers. In South Dakota the percentage
OF increase in the number of farms
was greater than the percentage of in
crease in population, and was ten times
ais large as the average increase for
the ten years ending in 1900. Mime
sofa showed less increase during the
decade, but added 1,47S new farms.
The effect for this demand for land
is shown in the large addition to the
wealth of the farmers from the in
creased value of North Dakota land,
For the three states, this total amounts
to the surprising sum Of $1,7S0,22s,O 600,
or at the rate Of $14,418, $50 a month
for the entire ten years.
r. n. Building In North Dakota.
Railroad building began in North

tended it's main line west. In only forty
years there has been a great change.

with the comforts and even luxuries
that are common today all over the
state, as a result of the working to-

very closely related, and the success of
agriculture means the success Of the
railroad, for it hauls what the farmer
produces and The farmer
is equally dependent upon the railroad.
for without transportation he could
not market his product, and his nc
cess depends upon the regularity and
adequacy OF the transportation avail
able to him and the fairness OF the
rates. The close INTERPOLATION Of these
two businesses is less appreciated than
it should be. The farmer should not
be led into the error of believing that
the railroad is trying to charge him

for the success of each business in it's

much interruption, except from heavy
weather, one does not always realize

ATMOSPHERE OF THE HOME
One Place Where the Best and Sweet est Side of Character Should
 Be Shown.

Family life should be one of the utmost difference and respect. It is a peculiar phase of human nature that we are oftener moro considerate of strangers than wo ar~ rrs thosa who in the very nature of things nr- nearest and dearest to us.
 Why should we fret and find fault until we make home life intolerable 1? Why should we carry grouch into our homes every time we leave 'busi- ness% Why should we demand services of those in the home circle which we only request in the most respectful manner from those out side of it? . H
 Why should a man say to his wife, 'Nay, I want my slippers. Bring them to me-" and use tone of command when he knows he wouldn't address the veriest lackev in similar manner? Why should May use an irritating, commanding tone towar' when she wants any lit -eice done and why do both order the children around as if they were a lot of unfeeling, un- thinking little minions who knew no better than to accept the treatment without protest?
 Of all places on earth the home is the place where the best and sweet est side of character should be shown. It is there that the softest tones and kindest actions should prevail. It is there that unfailine and uniform courtesy should be the rule and where every member should use his or her utmost effort to keer the family life untainted by the irri- tating experiences of the life outside of 1t.

A GREAT ADVANCE.

Some of the greatest advances of civilization are made silently. They escape the flourish of trumpets, while other much less important advances are accompanied by incessant drum beating and pyrotechnics. The dim mutton of the death rate is one of the signal triumphs of modern en- lightenment. It is also one of the most potent checks on economic waste. The average age of each gen. eration is being materially length ened, and that result is chiefly being reached by stopping the excessive loss of infant life. Yet few persons realize the extent of the benefcent progress thus made, or what it has means in the way of increasing the sum total of human happiness and efficiency.

Dark looks greeted the missionary. The inhabitants of the cannibal isle were a shade blacker than jet, to start with, and dyspepsia had cloud cd their faces still more.
 "T'he trouble with you all," said the bearer of good tidings, ''is that you live on a meat diet.

It is the fermentation of your animal food that causes you to be so short- tempered, so warlike and so miser- able

QUICK WORK BY A DOCTOR
Washington Physician b Divorced and Married Again In One
 Day.

Within 24 hours after a Philadel- phia court granted divorce to Mrs. Katharine Saeger Bovee, her erst- while husband, pr. J. Wesley Bovee, well-known Washington physician, married at Auburn, N. r., Mrs. Car oline Copley Wemple. The news of pr. Bovee's second marriage was a surprise, but the granting of a di- vorce to Mrs. Bovee was no surprise, as she and Dr. Bovee had been sepa. rated since 1907.
 She brought suit for divorce ir the District of Columbia supreme court, declaring pr. Bovee had ex. cluded her from his home, and that during their separation he- reduced her monthly allowance from $500 to $125. Dr. Bovee, through his attor- neys, stated that when the facts were known right thinking people would absolve him from all blame.
 Mrs. Bovee failed to obtain iudg. ment in the District of Columbia, and later began action in Philadel- phia, where an absolute divorce was granted and the papers in the case ordered impounde2.

Bowels are Basis
 of Child Health

The careful mother, who watches closely the physical peculiarities of her children, will soon discover that the most important thing in connection with childs constant good health is to keep the bowels regularly open. Sluggish bowels will be followed by loss of appe- tite, restlessness during sleep, irrita- bility and dozen and one similar evf- dences of physical disorder.
 At the first sign of such disorder give the child a teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's s Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and repeat the dose the following night if necessary-more than that will scarcely be needed. You will find that the child will recover its accustomed good spirits at once and will eat and sleep normally

I know a man who has lived on one farm half a century. He sleeps in the room in which he was born. in the dark. Yet his lambs and his pigs, the velvety roll of new sprout- ing wheat, the procession of the sea- sons, the apple trees he planted and has watched for years-all are new to him each day. I have seen him stand and look at his sheep as if he were city man long shut out from such sights. A sunset or a sunrise is to him a miracle inexperienced each day.
