In a recent letter to one of his Hope friends
MIR. T. j. Foster, of La Porte, Ind, who is one

he will bring up in the spring two carloads
of heifers and blooded bull, also one carload
of mares and blooded Stallion. He will set
apart one section Of land to be used solely
for stock purposes and hopes in time to have
as fine stock farm as can be found in Dakota.
This is wise move, and we hope more of our
farmers will follow suit. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that wheat alone will not pay.
Should the wheat crop fail or prices be low,
the farmer who raises stock will still have
source of income,
