Attention. Farmersll

We expect to start the creamery as
early in the spring as the supply of
cream will warrant, and ask your CO.
operation to make it success.
1t is a well known fact among
dairymen of experience that in order
to get the best results, milk must
be set in water of proper temperature,
unless a separator is used by the
dairyman. Now is the time to put
up ice aid otherwise make prepare
tions for the summer. The prolong-
ed draught of the past season we
know was very unfayorable for the
dairy interest as well as for the
creamery man, but we hope to have
more rain next season and be able to
get more cream from you.
Yours respectfully,
JOHNSON & LARSON,
Prop. of the Creamery.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
A Profitable Session Numerously
Attended at River Falls.
EXCELLENT HOME TALENT.
Subjects of Importance Discussed
With Intelligent Interest.

The Farmers Institute was inaugu-
rated several years ago with view tt
the extension Of practical knowledge
under the direction of the State Uni
versity. The intention contem plated
was TO awaken more general interest
in the necessity for education in the
science and art of Agriculture, ana
along this line to give general appli-
cation of the knowledge obtained by
Investigation and experiment at the
College Of Agriculture.
The growing interest in the subject,
its conceded importance and the
manifest benefits secured warrant the
nermanence OF the Farmers Insti-
Oute. until a better method of extend
ing information relating to agricul
ture is discovered
The sessions of the Institute held
in this city Thursday and Friday OF
last week were the most profitable,
the most numerOusly attended anG
the most interesting of any ever held
in this vicinity. The subjects pre-
sented on the program were Giving
issues" considered with reference to
their practical utility. discussed with
intelligent interest. The utmost har-
mony and good feeling prevailed
throughout and everybody was pleased
and instructed.
The first session was opened, Thurs
day forenoon at 10 O'clock, by G. T.

In cultiyating good land we raise

We till poor land and raise one-half as

just as much to raise the crop as on
the good land; in this case all the

Keep up the fertility of the land by
consuming the products of the farm

In the afternoon Mayor Ballard
opened the session with few timely
remarks welcoming the farmers T.,
the privileges of the city at this and
all times. He said he wished IL

the town and the country were de-
pendent upon each other; and mutual
~ benefited each other. TheiI
relations should be friendly anu
cordial There should be no Jealousy
of the city by the people of the country.
There was no occasion for it as the
people in the city realized that their
prosperity depended largely upon the
condition of the farming community
and were anxious to reciprocate in all
friendly intercourse.
The. subject OF
SMALL FRUITS
was presented by c. E. Toby of Sparta
who has a large interest in this
growing industry. Mr.. Toby showed
low, that Notwithstanding the rapid
increase in the production of small
fruits in this state, there was an
increased profit because of increasing
demands from the north and west

the business, and asserted that one

able than 10 average cows or the
average crop from 40 acres of small
grain.

was discussed by c. p. Goodrich. Hogs
are undoubtedly most profitably
raised in connection with a dairy.
SKINNED milk is almost a necessary
ration for young pigs. Yet hogs may
be made TO pay on any farm. An
early maturing hog should be sought
out. Grow the animal for market as
quickly as possible; keep him continu-

animal becomes the slower it fats

A Grateful Patient.

Judge Bartells, of Turtle Lake, Is
pleased with himself now, and feels that
life is worth cllnging on to. Many of our
readers remember that the Judge has
been sufferer for many years of asthma,
has doctored for the com plant, with lit
tie or no relief. For a long time he
placed himself under the care Of a for mer
resident physician of this county, but in
the end found no relief for his complaint.
He also had sought medical relief from
other physicians in the State as we'll as
from Doctors in his former home in Ohio.
About two months ago he resolved to try
what DR.. Forbes of Washburn could do
fer him, so placed himself under the Doc
tors care. After explicitly following his
physicians directions and strictly paying
attention to his prescriptions for several
weeks, the Judge finds himself well
man, and is thankful md grateful that at
last he found physicias. who under
stands the proper remedies for such e har-
RAISING complaint that he was afflicted
with. Judge Bartells thinks that Mclean
County is very fortunate in securing the
services of DR.. Forbes, and for once, we
have physician who thoroughly under
stands modern methods of medical prac.
tice.

and held mo tight in her embrace. tried
to get away, but in vain. Finally sh'' let
