Ransom County, north Dakota. An Introduction. —We will introduce to you in a few words the famous Red River Valley, the great bread basket of the world, the land that will make your fortune. We have selected this field for our work, because we can give you more for your money, than in any other part of the United States. The world talks about the enormous grain fields of this region, in the heart of the American continent where we supply humanity with bread. The fertility of our soil cannot be surpassed. Our climate is beautiful and makes people strong and healthy. Our railroad facilities and markets are good. Our beef cattle fattened on native grass sell at top prices. Our winters have very little snow and permit stock to graze out of doors at any time. Our people are progressive, energetic and intelligent. Our school system is recognized as one of the best in the West. We have many churches of all denominations. We have rural free delivery and country telephones. Our country roads are excellent,. Our hind can be bought at the present time at from S2O to $35 per acre, but the people are moving west in large numbers, and are settling this country fast. It will be but a few years and the bargains will be gone, land will soon sell from $75 to S3OO per acre, This has been the case in all the older states and it will be so here. Remember the wise words of the great Horace Greeley, when he said, “Go west, young man, go west and grow up with the country.’ Since the landing of the Pilgrims, the people have been pushing west. Your forefathers cleared the forest and built homes, which have become valuable. Why do you hesitate to profit by their experience? Take advantage of the opportunity, shake the dust from your feet, and seize your last chance to get a home cheap. Nature has made this beautiful country for you to live in, and we ask you to come and look it over, get a home and be happy. We will now appeal to your good judgment and ask you to sell your small farm; or if you have a few thousand in cash to come out to where you can get from. 1 to 5 acres for the cost of one iu the East. It will be a pleasant trip for you to take, we will treat you right and give you a square deal. We will be pleased to have you "took us up. The Improved Farm Land Company, LISBON, NORTH DAKOTA.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

latfrorlag Swine. No farm animal receives greater attention or improvement in the bands of breeders than the hog, yet many farmers are not keeping abreast of this progress in selecting their breeding stock for profitable pork production. As au Illustration, if a farmer with ten brood animals, instead of using an Inferior sire, would secure a good, Improved bred one at an outlay of S2O or a little more, the crop of pigs, an average of six to a litter, will number sixty bead. When marketed at eight months of age they will weigh from forty to fifty pounds per head more than the same number would sired by a scrub sire. At the average price of pork on foot for the past quarter of a century, $4.50 per hundredweight, the minimum gain of forty pounds per bead would amount to SI.BO apiece, or SIOB profit on the crop of hogs, which is a very good margin on the Investment. If he bus not reduced the cost of production of pork, he has Increased a marketable product without extra feed or care—lt. E. Roberts Before Wisconsin Institute. Calves Rained Without Mlllc. As a substitute Tor skim milk. In raising calves cocoa nut shell tea appears to have some merits. At the Ontario experiment station calves were fed, in addition to what corn and green feed they wanted, six to eight quarts of tea made by boiling one-fourth of a pound of cocoa shells In two gallons of water. They gained 135 pounds in eight weeks, while two other calves fed on two gallons of skim milk per day In addition to the other feeds gained 148 pounds in the same period. The conclusion was that shells made as good a substitute for skim milk as could be had, but that nothing could entirely take the place of milk for young stock.

Breed to the Rlfcht Stallion. Horses and mules of the right sort are bringing paying prices on the markets. The undersized, scrubby ones bring the bottom prices. Many farmers are disgusted with raising horses because they unfortunately pay little attention to breed or conformation of sire or dam, and the result is disappointment In nine cases out of ten. There never has been a much better demand for good shaped, active, fair sized horses and mules. Breed the right sort and then let the colts have all the grain and bright hay they will eat up clean. Do not stint them. There Is a great future for the judiclous horse and mule breeder. \ Hog Cholera Prevention. After long yeai*s of careful and expensive research by the experiment station scientists about the only fact they have clearly demonstrated with reference to hog cholera Is that the only way to cure It Is to prevent It. A little prevention in the way of clean quarters, feed and water, access to wood ashes, charcoal aud salt before the disease breaks out Is worth a whole drug store full of “remedies” after the disease begins to kill the hogs. Are you free from cholera now? If so. better take pains to stay free of It.—Farmers Advocate.

Raining; Turkey.. Always give the turkey hen a good feed of grain morning and uight until the chicks are at least six weeks old. This will prevent her from ranging too far for feed. The chicks will soon learn to eat broken or cracked corn, wheat or oats and when well feathered will eat whole grain of any sort. After ten weeks they will make their living on a good feeding ground, requiring only a little grain at night to induce them to come home to roost. They are worth the money In the market durlug the fall and winter months. Ralnlncr Colt*. It Is usually much easier to raise two or more colts together than It Is to raise one nlone, as they are company for eachrother and are not always tagging the other horses. It Is also much better to keep the young colt separate from older ones, as there Is a tendency toward viciousness on the part of the older ones, aud the young colts are likely to suffer, especially If they are all fed their grain lu the same inclosure.—Horse Breeder. In the Cornfield. It would pay any farmer to make a practice of going through that part of his corn from which he Intends to select his seed corn and cut the tassel off from every stalk that has not set an ear. The tassel should be cut off before they blossom. It Is the barren stalks that keep the average corn crop 25 per cent below what it should be. The Good Farjn Horae. For farm work we need good sized horses, and every farmer should start for the front and try to get Into the draft stock. There Is more pay In raising them for market and more work lu them when put before the plow.— National Stockman. Breed For Utility. Breed for egg and meat production and not for “points" that are only valuable In exhibition stock. Always keep pure breds, and keep them as close to the standard requirements as you can without sacrificing utility.—Farm Journal. Milk and Saver For Homes. An occasional feed of milk and sugar Is given show horses, but these produce soft flesh In genera] and are not satisfactory except In forcing young colts. The Groin For Homes. No grain Is better for horses than good oats. A little corn is all right in winter, but not an exclusive feed.

MERRY WAR PROBABLE

Tariff Sure to Bring Division to Republican Ranks. ACTION OP CANAL COMMISSION. Worst Blow the Protection Element Has Received In Year.—Stand Pat Crowd An acred Over Expoae ot Tariff-Robber Prices In Connection With tbe Panama Enterprise. The sorrows that have fallen upon the Republican camp these halcyon days of the verdant springtime have developed n condition which may have Important bearing upon the presidential aspirations of at least two eminent Republican leaders. That the Republican party Is badly Bplit up over the expose of tariff robber prices in connection with the Panama canal enterprise there can be no question. The announcement that in the absence of positive action to the contrary by congress the canal commission will make its purchases in the markets of the world, thus forcing American manufacturers to meet competition from abroad, has proved the worst blow the high tariff element has received in years, and that such a blow should have been delivered by a Republican administration has made the stand pat crowd howl out loud and threaten dire things. There are wheels within the administration wheels, all of them more or less political. Immediately the old tariff leaders like Uncle Joe Cannon, General Grosvenor and John Dalzell gave evidence of resentment toward the action of the canal commission and the administration, our old friend Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury and foxy politician of the lowa stripe, thought he saw his chance. He has been quietly nursing a presidential boom for many days. With the mighty Taft implicated In this “treason” to the blessed tariff wall, why was not this the chance of Uncle Leslie’s life? So he thought, and at once he Jumped to the fore as critic of the action of the “traitor” commission and the “traitor” secretary of war. Uncle Leslie began by repudiating the suggestion that President Roosevelt Indorsed this Panama business. Since It has been shown that the president himself approves the policy outlined by the commission and the secretary ot war, be has refrained from discussing bis chief in connection with it, but he Is none the less positive In the position he has taken against this “Iniquity” of taking from the trusts the opportunity to unload their products upon the canal builders at their fancy American prices. He believes thoroughly in the righteousness of this government’s paying the steel trust, to illustrate. $30,000,000 for machinery and materials which that benevolent organization would sell to foreigners at $20,000,000.

The secretary of the treasury sees ahead the possibility of securing for himself the hacking of that high protection element which would add to the tariff wall rather than substract from It, and he Is happy. He should not, however, heap congratulations upon himself too early in the game. It may not he as good politics as he now thinks to shove Mr. Taft Into the limelight as the representative of that sensible tariff revision policy Implied in the canal commission’s action. Mr. Taft Is a coy young thing who says he has no presidential aspirations, but sometimes a man who is uot anxious to Jump to the center of the stage is willing enough to be shoved there, and a presidential candidate who stands on a platform of good, sound, business sense is a dangerous opponent even inside the Republican party. Tills tariff controversy Is sure to bring abopt serious divisions Inside Republican ranks. The stand patters will attempt to force the Republicans of congress to repudiate the action of the canal commission, and a merry war Is in prospect. This may overshadow the present division between the secretary of the treasury and the secretary of war, or it may operate to push these gentlemen to the tore as leaders of the two factions in the great scramble for the Republican presidential nomination. Just now, however, this Shaw-Taft division Is the biggest thing of its kind In sight, and we strongly incline to the opinion that the American people are with Secretary Taft.—Atlanta Constitution.

A Point to Ponder.

John Sharp Williams in his statement concerning the canal supplies decision, thinks the Springfield Republican (Ind.) la one to be pondered increasingly by bumble folk: “The only thlDg curious to my mind Is that the men who can see so clearly the Iniquity when It comes to bear as a hardship upon the government Itself or the Panama canal commission, which Is the same thing, being a branch of the government, cannot see It and will not remedy It when bearing as a hardship upon the people, many of whom are so much poorer and less able to with* stand extortion than the government Is.”

Illinois' New law.

The Washington Post’s political observer notes that next year for the first time In the history of Illinois s senatorial toga is to be disposed of at a general primary. “It means that next year Senator Shelby M. Cullom must virtually secure his new commission, if at all, from the people. The new law provides for a primary the last Saturday in April, 1806.”

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Home C.ei of Glycerin. Nothing Is better for chapped hands than a mixture of glycerin and olive oil In equal proportions. The softness of thfi oil lakes away the smarting property of the glycerin. To make glycerin jelly equal to that sold, and quite pure, dissolve a one ounce packet of table gelatin In a little water: then whisk It into a pint of glycerin. Pour into pots. If too stiff add more glycerin. An ounce packet of gelatin stirred into four ounces of glycerin after being softened with water will cause the gelatin to set like stiff fflue. This, cut into squares, is excellent to use in throat troubles. A tin of condensed milk, four ounces of glycerin, two ounces of honey and half a pound of sugar make a houeyseotch nice to take and very nutritious. If a laxative 13 required, two teaspoonfuls of glycerin swallowed warm at Intervals of an hour are what Is needed. As a cure for Indigestion a teaspoonful of glycerin after meals Is valuable. For earache a few drops of warm glycerin poured Into the ear soothes and heals, and equal parts of belladonna and glycerin mixed and rubbed round the ear will soothe the pain if severe.

Care of the Oil Stove. Thoroughly clean and refill your oil stove every time after using. If you allow oil and dirt to accumulate on it It Is sure to smell unpleasant when lighted. Don’t cut the wick, but rub off the charred parts with a rag or a piece of paper. Always turn the wick down before extinguishing It and leave turned down until you are going to light it again. Remember that the top of the part up and down which the Wick runs needs to be kept thoroughly clean. Give It a rub inside and ontside every time you clean tbe stove, and If a crust forms around the top scrape It occasionally. Facilitate* Carving. To facilitate the operation of carving, a task little relished by tbe average man, an Inventor has devised an appliance to hold the roast securely to the platter. The general scheme of the device can be seen at a glance. Tbe frame

BOOKS HOLD THE BOAST, consists of expansible members having booked portions adapted to engage with the edges of the platter, and, of course, adjustable to any size. These arms carry hooks which are adjustable thereon and adapted to engage with and hold the roast or fowl securely, allowing the carver great freedom of movement. Preurvlnf Quinces. Peel, core and quarter the quinces. Weigh them and put into a preserving kettle with enough water to barely cover them. Stew slowly until very soft. When soft, but not broken, take them out with a skimmer and lay carefully on platters. Add to the liquor left In the kettle one pound of sugar to each pint of fruit Bring this to a boil, skim It and when it has boiled for twenty minutes return the quiuces to It. Cook for fifteen minutes after the sirup again boils. Now pack the quinces In wide mouthed Jars, pour In the boiling sirup and seal. Strong Waahlng Compound. Two pounds of sul soda, two pounds common soap, two and one-half gallons water. 1 Cut the soap into thin slices and boll all together for two hours. Strain, and It will he ready to use. Put the clothes to soak the night before you wash, and to every pall of water in which you boll them add one pound of soap. They will need no rubbing, but merely rinsing. This Is a very strong compound, and only good for coarse articles. To Remove Old Point. To remove old putty and paint make a paste with soft soap and a solution of caustic soda or with slaked lime and pearlasb. Lay it on with a piece of ra? or a brush and leave It for several hours, when It will be found that the paint or putty may be easily removed. Cooking Vegetable*. Almost all vegetables are better cooked with the lids off the pots. The water In which the onions are boiling ahould be changed several times. A bit of bicarbonate of soda added to the water makes the skins of peas and beana more digestible. Cora Vlnogar. Put one teacupful of shelled oorn and one teacupful of brown sugar or molasses In a Jar.. FUI up with water and set In the sun. This takes three weeks to make, but le one of the very best vinegars.
