Letter from North Dakota
Dear Friends of Snyder County :
It affords i ue pleasure to nay Unit
we like our new home, j rented a
farm of E. O. Oun'nerude,- in Benson
County, 7 miles west of Rrlnsmade. I
worked nearly every day from April
to Noveinb.-r. I put out 400 acre of
wheat, oats, bnrlev and flax. I .plow-.!
75 acres of old ground and 75 acres "f
new ground. I made 125 tons of buy.
I thrashed 20S1 bushels wheat, 2735
bushels oats. 915 bushels barley, 1798
bushels fins, or a total of 0159 bushels,
besides we raised l.'O bushels of potatoes.
This country is ail right for a'.nnn
Mho wants to work. This season
wages were f 1.00 a day fiom spring till
harvest, (1.50 a day for harvest and
$2.50 for threshing. This Includes
boardinir. For waares and plenty of
work, this is the best country I ever
saw. The summer was agreeable and
the nights were pleasant. We could
always enjoy a good night's rest. The
nights were cool all summer. A land
agent told me that foreigners were
getting all the best land out here and
Americans will be left if they do not
hurry up. The price of land is rising.
I wish you people could see the differ
ence in farming in Pennsylvania and
North Dakota. The- work Is much
easier here than It is In the Eastoan
states and it goes much more rapidly.
We have all big machinery. Wa have
a nice home, plenty of good water, nice
garden things, 9 horses, 10 head horned
cattle. We got 25 cents all summer for
butter and from 12 to 25 cents for eggs.
It froze up Nov. 7th. and It has been
cold ever since. Thermometer hangs
around zero and 32 degrees below. We
have about 5 Inches of snow. .We like
this country very much and are enjoy
ing good health.

Some advertisers fall because
they do cot use enough space.
They use barely enough or some

'Be careful," but we must all go from
heated houses into chill outer air, and
the change sets us conghing and
wheezlug. Avoiding winter colds Is
difficult; curing them is not hard if
you take Allen's Lung Balsam. Bet
ter begin when cold Is young and not
wait until it settles deep into the lungs,
for then, even with Allen's Lung Bal
sam, complete relief will be slower.
