Delusive Spring.

Our country correspondents, from
whom generally emanateS the first in
telligence of coming seasons ad-
vent, seem to have had touch of
spring fever the fore part of the week,
and in this issue they hail with much
acclaim the arrival of mild and balmy
springtime, of green and grassy mead
ows, of bright AMI babbllng brook
lets, dear gentle Annie; but the i'm
perious weather manipulation, in the
meantime, seems to have resumed his
riotous carOuSal of some weeks ago
and is playing high jinks with all the
cherished hopes and fond desires of
our rural friends, so much so, in fact,
that the thermometer is down to bed
rock, and the sturdy yeoman toasts
his shins by the kitchen fire and goeth
forth to break the ice that covers the
pond that lies in yonder field, that his
flock and herd may gulp down deep
and Succulenl draughts OF the popular
Kansas beverage.
Our Chit-Chat editor seems also to
have been enthused with that of which
the knowing poet sings, as upon his
departure for Topeka, with his store
house bulging with valuable pointers
Tor mis- ne" paper brethren, he con-
sidered his new $40 overcOat an unnec-
cssary habiliment for such really
beautiful spring morning, doncher
know, and now no doubt our worthy
editors knees occasionally collide with
each other as he strolls down Kansas
avenue with Governor Stanley on his
arm.

realizing that every time they sell 500
worth Of wheat in a foreign market
they also sell from twenty-five to fifty
dollars worth Of plant food from OF
the farm. A small corner of his farm
every time that amount Of wheat Is
sold. One hundred dollars worth Of
butter does not remove fifteen cents
worth Of plant food from the farm,
while the same amount of cheese does
not take five dollars out Of the soil.
On the other hand, feeding the farm
products on the land will tend to en-
rich the soil, so that the dairy farmer
is putting plant food into his acres in
stead of removing it like the wheat
farmer. When our farmers more thor.
oughly understand these conditions,
and they are beginning to realize them,
future of dairying in North Dakota
is far brighter than any other Of her
agricultural industries. The farmers
institute is the farm school, and since
the legislature just adjourned made
some provision for holding such insti-
Titles. the gospel Of d%airying should be
mduStriously preached at all such
meetings. until exclusive wheat farm
ing is relegated to the past history of
the state. Such has been the result in
the most prosperous agricultural state,
ana such will be the result in North
Dakota Is the prediction Of the writer.

by not making better butter. "A still
larger amount each year is put upon
the market in such a poor condition
that it nets the producer but eight to
ten cents per pound. while good cream

eighteen to twenty cents. It is safe to
say that our farmers lose $1,000 an
nually by not making butter of a bet
ter quality. a knowledge Of the prin-
ciples of up-tO-date butter-making Is
needed for righting this problem. The
agricultural college early recognized
the Importance Of such education, and
has been and will continue to furnish
instruction necessary to improve the
quality Of North Dakota butter. A
number each year are taking advan-
tage Of the instruction furnished by
the college, and as the interest in the
subject increases, the number will be
largely augmented and much benefit
to the state derived thcrefrom. Large
farmers are continually inquiring for
young men who can successfully man
age a herd of dairy cows and make a
marketable article of butter from the
milk produced. Such inquiries tend to
show the extent of the interest being
felt in the dairy industry. The indus.

Wheat growing has been made so
easy by the wonderful improvements
in machinery accomplished in the last
few years, and the market for the
crop is so worldwide and sure, that
the temptation to specialize in that
direction has overcome the wisdom of
experience and led to an abandonment
OF those auNiliarics to the farm that
add so much to the variety and COM
fort of the farmers life. and utilize to
the best advantage his energies and
render his life the most independent
of any of his fellows. The rich soil
OF our new land will, for a while. re-
spond satisfactorily to the demands of
a single crop, but the experience Of our
nelghbors in longer settled parts
proves ~conclusively that the richest
land will rapidly de%teriorate under a
single crop system, and can only be

The crops Of North Dakota are as d.
versifed as may be found in any of the
adjoining states. 1t is true that 1t has
become known throughout the world
as the land of No. l hard. but this is
due to the fact that for years it was the
principal, If not the only crop, grown.
Lately, however. the farmers are turn
ing their attention to diversified farm
Ing and with most satisfactory and
profitable results. Especially is this the
case in the COteaux country. Root
crops Of all kinds grow in abundance
and Of superior quality. Oats. barley,
rye. flax, corn. potatoes and all kinds of
grasses grow enormous yields.
