with success. This is my experience
after thirty-four years Of farming:
Own Too Much Land.
"Tne trouble hets in North Dakota
is we own too much. land. We ought
to have farmer on every quarter s,c:
ton Of land and in the course Of q few
years we would have our land as clean
as any country in the world.
81 call the Red river valley the
cream Of the world without doubt. The
farmers are making so much money
raising grain that that is the reason
they do not go into mixed farming,
but we have creameries for those who
desire mixed farming. You very sell
dom see farmer who does no. have a
pretty good bank account.
"A few Of us old settlers would like
to retire and that is why our land is
so cheap. consider there ISM an
acre of farming land in Pembina
county that is not worth at least one
hundred dollars per acre, but it can be
gotten for from thirty to fifty dollars
per acre. If any of my friend readers
would like to correspond with me
would be glad to answer any ques-
tion."

The method employed. to tlfiB dry by

print large number Of sheets in q

The block to be printed must be plac

The printer has two brushes. one Of

can hold in his hand and use at either
end.
He dips it into the ink and rubs the
block with It. taking care not to mois.

would be blurred; IL too little, they
would not print. When once the block

Is only necessary that the brush should
be passed over every part of the sheet
with greater or smaller degree of
pressure and repeated in proportion

The squeteague, another salt water
fish of the noisy variety, resembles in

Joseph NORM aof Neehe, well known
as q member Of the county commits SION
Of Pembina, has q method for. ex-.
terminating Canadian thistles that is
usually successful, according. to his
own explanation Of. the situation.
81 read SO many different ideas
about killing Canadian, and sow. this
ties and also wild, oats. These are
about the only weeds we have to con-
tend with in this country, and I think
it is very easy matter. to get rid of
these weeds if we, get. at it in the
right way,' says. Mr.. MORN.
ct had my farm rented for three
years and before I left it + had it
clean, but during the time that it was
rented it got pretty dirty with wild
oats and Canadian thistles. It was
section farm and I didn't think it
would pay me to let it go to ruin so
I made up my mind to go back on it
and clean it once more. ...
"For wild oats:;I plowed it in the
fall and narrowed it well, then plowed
it back in the spring, when the wild
oats were two or three inches high,
and sowed barley. The barley paid
me as well as. any other crop and then
my land was thoroughly clean and
good for wheat.
Summer Fallow Failed.
"1 had quite few patches of Can.
adam thistles and first started to sum-
mer fallow then >plow three times, and
had just as many thistles as ever
after all this work, so I made up my
mind that it was not the way to get
rid Of thistles. had forty acres that
were nothing but thistles and I let
them grow till they were in blossom
This was fine crop Of thistles, just
ready to ripen, then took a move,
and cut them all down, leaving them
on the ground for three weeks, ther
set fire to them and let them burn
Then plowed this land just before
harvest and narrowed it well and SOW
ed it to wheat early next spring, and
I couldn't find thistle in the fall.
had twenty-six bushels of wheat to tn
acre and sold it all for seed at prem
ium. I know a party who bought {
quarter section of land that was .fillet
with thistles and he did the same thin,
and his was a success also, so I would
advise anyone who has thistles on hi
farm to try this method Of destroyin,
them and guarantee they will sue
coed. This will destroy them and witt
a lot less labor. This way you ploy
your land only once. I had som
patches Of thistle last year in feel,
of wheat and just before they wer
ripe, the wheat being in shot blade
cut. them down little and the whea
grew up and choked them out. Thi
