Watching tic Markets.
One of Mr.. Won Ruden's secrets Of
success lies in the fact that he
watches the country's production very
closely and thereby determines what
crops to raise, from year to year. He
recognized the fact that the country
was going TO Be over-cropped to 20
tat0cs this year. SO instead OF rails
ing his usual acreage Of potatoes he
has just an acre ana q half OF them,
The only crop there is any money in
this year Is fax, and Mr.. Won Ruben
has thirty acres Of 1t. Il fine Yield. All
the rye, wheat. oats and barley are
stacked in the farm yard. in perfectly
built stacks in the good old fashionea
way. AS a result of this thrifty
method Of handling the Crop all the
land was plowed by the s125h OF. Sep
TENDER. with the exception OF, il
acres: Only horses are used on this
farm. Mr.. Won Ruben Is prejudrted
against tractors, as he" says they

Grand Forks. When he started ou1
in Germany nearly seventy years age
he was endowed with a fine healthy
constitution, and one of the levelesI
heads Divine Providence ever placed
on sturdy shoulders. He came tt
America when he was 16. He ha.
improved everything he touched
