Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh ad-

afternoon. There were but few
preliminary exercises. The Lyric
Ladies quartet had been put down
on the printed program, but the
singers We're not present, and SO
the audience was disappointed in
that respect. But there was no
disappointment SO far as the
address was concerned, for it
came up to everybody's ex-
pectation. The devotional exer-
cises were conducted by Mrs. Nc
Kinney and after the audience had
joined in singing "Where is My
Wandering Boy Tonight" and
prayer had been offered, Mrs. Un-
rub was introduced and began her
address.

principle that like produces un.

prlnclple tnaC ike produces ul-
like.
AS regards the crossing of
breeds, the professor did not speak
favorably. By way of illustrating
this point he referred to the his
tory Of the Jersey and the Holstein
in which efforts to cross had pro-
we'd futile because heredity in each
was too strong to influence. In
each case it produced a resistance
and some of the offspring would
be pretty good Jerseys, some pretty
good Holsteins, and some neither.
However, if the purpose was
merely to raise an animal for the
block, crossing was all right.
Some would endeavor to dis
suade from the idea that heredity
is important, Professor Shepperd
said. by arguing that feed is of the
most consequence. This conten-
ton was easily disposed of, how
ever. Simply ask the man sup
porting it how to so feed a Persian
colt as to produce a 2:3O roadster,
or how to SO feed greyhound as
to produce bird setter.
When it comes to applying the
principle Of heredity to grain, the
professors idea is that care should
be taken in the selection of the
seed. Simply plant the finest
grains or kernels. The result
might not manifest itself the first
year but would become plainly ap-

that they have plenty of land
and the eastern markets are open
to them. Sheep are also valuable
on farm for the reason that they
eat almost every species of weed.
Prof. Shepperd toldof the result
of various experiments on the farm
connected with the Agricultural
College in Fargo. Different plots
of land had been subjected to diff
ferent methods of cultivation. Un-
der some methods the weeds flour
ished; under others they did not
thrive. The most thorough cult
walton produced the best crops.
This was particularly noticeable
this year. He attached great value
to manure. 1t should be we'll
rotted before being applied so as
not to make the land drouthy. If
we'll rotted it holds on to tho soil
like sponge and gives fertility to
| the soil
Prof. Shepperd argued in favor
of rotation. The necessity for it,
he said, is apparent this year, for
the farmer who depended entirely
on wheat is bad off. However it
does not pay to jump about or try
to follow the market in growing
crops. He spoke strongly in favor
of stock. Cattle are a sort of saw
ings bank. The farmer does not
sell them until he is ready and
then he gets large sum of money
all at once.
Mr.. Greeley closed the after
noon exercises with word of adj
vice to the farmer not to change
his business except to become
better farmer, and also supple
menting the arguments that had
been heard in favor of cattle and
sheep by the addition Of few
strong words in support Of the
stock-raising cause.
Last nights exercises at the
auditorium rounded out the two
days set aside for the farmers.
The program consisted Of singing
by the quartet, impersonations by
Nolan, solo by Miss Sprague, of
the Ladies' Lyric quartet, banjo
and negro dialect presentation by
MI. Hill and Miss Whitaker, and
an address on "Heredity" by Pro-
fessor Shepperd of the Agricultu-
raj college.
No sooner is baby born into
this world, said Professor Shep-
perd, than the women acquain-
tances of the parents begin to tell
whom it looks like. So far as he
was concerned, however, no baby
looks like anyone else he had ever
seen, except that each baby looks
like every other baby Of the same
age. He nevertheless considered
this effort to distinguish in the
face of the child resemblance to
it's parents, an evidence Of the
popular belief in heredity and that
like produces like. Professor
Shepperd stated two principles as
generally apply-to heredity and
governing it, viz: l. That like
produces like. 2. That like pro-
duces unlike. This, he said,
might sound like contradiction
but it was not, for like tends to
produce resemblance but, it also
produces difference, and it is by
taking advantage of these two
principles that improvement is
brought about.
In breeding, the speaker as
serted, all depends upon the ability
to select, and proper selection,
after a time, causes the character
istics it is desired to maintain to
become fixed and stand out pro-
minently, thus eliminating the

From Fridays daily.
Yesterday afternoons meeting
was attended by quite a large num-
Der of farmers, and the proceed
ings seemed to. greatly interest
them. The opening exercises
were by the Lyric Ladies quartet
and Professor Nolan. One of the
quartet also
Conductor Greeley was the first
speaker. He did not speak long,
however, but took sufficient time
to emphasize the difference be-
tween good and bad farming. This
would not be so noticeable in
good season, but does show dis
tinctly this year. He had noticed
that as a rule the best farmers had
the best crops this season. He
advised the farmers to make all
they could out of their opportuni-
ties and not look too much for out
side help. There was a disposi-
ton to expect too much from leg
islation. Farmers should depend
upon their own resources.
Mrs. Bertha Dahl-Laws discuss
ed the subject of cooking in an
interesting manner, explaining the
value of various kinds of food by
means of charts showing the kind
and quality of nutriment the diff
ferent articles contain. She said
that the farmer can so feed his
stock as to build upstrong, healthy
animals, and children ought to be
reared on the same principle.
Children, men, and women should
be fed according to the kind of
work they are required to do. The
body needs heat to do it's work.
the same as does the steam engine.
The engine gets it's heat from the
fuel it consumes, and our bodies
get theirs from the food we eat. A
breakfast of pork and potatoes is a
good thing for a man who is going
to swing the ak on cold day, but
they are not suitable diet for a
child. They supply the strong,
hard working man with the heat
that he requires while they over
heat the child. Evidence of this
is frequently seen in children
whose bodies are blotch covered.
People Mrs. Laws said spend twice
as much for goods, the taste of
which they like, as for the more
healthful kind which they most
need. Beans she pronounced good
and cheap. Oatmeal comes next.
wheat, rice, barley and corn are
likewise cheap and desirable, and
the same is true of cheese, al
though some might think other
wise. Butter, milk and eggs she
claimed among the very best ar
ticles of food. Meat, she contend
ed is never cheap article Of diet,
but we like it. probably because it
gives variety. But above all it
does not pay to buy high priced
steaks. Stew meat costing five
cents a pound is not only cheaper
than steak at Is cents, but it is
better if properly cooked. Mrs.
Laws laid down two rules for cook
ing. Food composed largely of
starch, such as potatoes, should be
cooked quickly, while food contain
ing much protein, such as meat
should be cooked slowly. She laid
much stress on the value of fruit
because of it's medicinal virtues
but never wasted time in making
pickles 6r preserves, and but little
on pies and cakes. Mrs. Laws is
a decidedly practical woman and
doesn't believe in extremes in
cookery or anything else and would
like tohave people learn to eat what
is best for them regardless of what
