sation with a bright widowed German
woman, who was not only running
the farm, but bringing up large fam
lily, was told by her that she did not
care for the hard times. ''Iy farm is
paid for, owe no one and l have but
ter, eggs, chickens, cattle, hogs and
horses to sell every year." A gen.
tleman at the head of one Of the
largest loaning institutions Of this
state informed me that, having Il large
number of loans in the northern part
of the state some years ago, he advised
the mortgages not to raise so much
wheat, but put in more flax, barley
and oats. Wherever this advice was
followed the farmers had paid their
debts, and in almost every case where
wheat was persistently raised the
mortgages had lost their farms. 1
have been informed by brewers that
when the right kind of barley is sown
in Dakota and properly cared for it is
as good a brewing quality as any in
the country. With five years of expe-
rience in raising barley in the Red

Advantages of a Crramrry.-Thcrc
are many advantages to be derived
from the creamery plan. The first is
that it increases the production. With
the ordinary system al cream raising
there is II considerable loss of fat, there
usually being from ten 10 twenty-five
per cent left in the skim milk. The
best results in setting milk are OBJ
tanned only by Il liberal use of ice.
This cannot always be had, and the
conditions on most farms are not con-
ducive to Il low temperature, which
is the principal cause Of Il thorough
creaming. the quality of the milk effect

creamery will get practically all the fat

Of These Industries There Is

During the past few years there has
been a very much greater interest
taken in flax as a crop for seed in the
Northwest than heretofore. The low
price of wheat and other small grains,
and even the low price of stock and
other products of the diversified farm,
have caused the attention Of the farm
rrS to be turned toward anything that
would bring money. 1t has been gen

niZc that instead Of flax making the
farm cleaner and richer it has even a
worse effect than wheat. Need of
money has resulted in using this crop
when ii was really poorer field man
a%encnt than to have raised corn and
other cultivated crops with which to
make live stock products. Flax is GER
tainly Il greater breeder of weeds than
almost any other crop that grows, but
in spite of this the better remuneration
has led farmers to grow flax, not only
on newly broken land, but Oh older
lands which have been kept in good
heart or have been specially prepared
for crops OF wheat. There may be
money in opening up new lands, rails
ing two or three crops Of flax, and, as
one farmer put it, Take the flax out
Of the land and then sell it," but no
one will claim that it is patriotic to
thus enter upon our virgin soils, skin

usually ovcrcSlimate the injury to the

have taken UP the cry, and the season
Of 1850 finds at least twenty creamerics
and cheese factories in operation. Dur
ing the season Of 1894 three crcamerirs
We're in operation and produced about
100000 pounds of butter.
From reports furnished the writer by
the managers of the ten crcamercs
operating this season. the estimated
yield is placed at 100000 pounds Of
butter, and from the ten cheese factor
les Il product of 100000 pounds Of
cheese is assured.
A majority of these crcameries are
running on the separator plan. that is,
the patrons deliver their milk ut the
factory, where the cream is removed
and the skim milk returned to the farm.
This is a much better system than
where the cream is gathered. as it is
possible for the butter maker to 50
control the conditions necessary to pro-
duce good favored butter. In some
communities, however, the requisite
number of cows necessary to the Sue
ceSsful operation of the creamery can
not be obtained without hauling the
milk too great q distance and gathering
cream is the only means left for oper-
ating.
The plan Of paying for the milk at

regardless of quality has become OBJ

ing the milk and feeding from 10 to o5
per cent of the fat to the pigs in the
skim milk.
BY adopting this plan creamery
depending on the product from 800
cows will receive at least 6OOC pounds
of milk per day, thus creating sink
ing fund of So per day, and as such a
plant need not cost more than $4,000 to
$500 a very great length Of time need
not elapse until the plant is entirely
paid for. If successfully managed the
first season, each patron will wish to
increase the number of cows in his
herd so that creamery starting with
800 cows will soon have the product
Of 500 or GOO, thereby decreasing the
cost Of production per pound Of butter,
as there will be no material difference
in the running expenses of factory
where the product is G.OOO pounds and
where it is 10000 pounds Of milk per
day.
One more thing. The writer, having
recently been elected professor Of

Is desirous of furthering the dairy in

cooperation of all her citizens in this
important work.
The advantages OF dairying to the
farmers of North Dakota are many,
Wheat has almost ceased to be a

favored localities. The depreciation Of

he markets his products in IL manu-

bic in the way of high freight tariffs.
During the last few years barely
more than half the butter consumed in
the state has been produced within her
borders. Is it policy for us to pay the
farmers of other states high prices for
an article of food that can and should
be produced at home?
