medles to any of the farmers that
heard the doctor talk. One of his
principal recommendations was
"don'tmonkeying with trotters.'' - He
says more farmers have been ruined
by trying to raise record breaking
trotters than by drink. Good horses
are alway in demand at good prices
and poor horses are dear at any price
and always drug on the market. A
horse like any other animal requires
great deal ofcare if he isexpected to
be worth anything. The doctor said
II you showed him a horse he could
tell you what kind of man his owner
was. The horse was the affection of
the man. He advised only those who
liked horses and were willing to study
them to try TO raise them. Make up
your mind to raise good horses.
Take the best mares you have and
breed them to horses you want and
keep right on with the same breed
and as rule you will succeed. In Sc
lecting a stallion to breed to get one
that is brainy and one that has good
feet. He says that if a horse has
not'good feet he is not worth having.
as feet are the index to the framework
OF the animal. II he has a spongv
foot he has spongy bones all
through. Ii he has a good tough
foot he has good tough bones. Look
in his eye to see if his disposition is
as it should be; look at his head to
see if he has room for brains: look at
his nostrils to see if he has the right
kind OF breathing facilities, for if the
nostrils are small the lungs will be
correspondingly small and the horse
correspondingly worthless. The
doctor went into statistics consider
ably to show the demand there is for
good horses. 1t has only been ten
years since the first American horses
shipped to the old world in a COM
mercial way and since that time the
demand is steadily increasing; all the
large European countries are now
looking to this country for their sup
ply OF horses for driving, riding, gen.
eral purposes. The demand for good
horses is better than it ever was
before. .,.a... -
DR.. Smead's talk closed the business
OF the Institute work at this place.
Prof. Hoverstad made a speech at
the close in which he thanked the To-
cal committee and the newspapers
for the way in which they had adver-
tised the meeting and the farmers
present for their attendance and
promised them that in his report to
the authorities hewould give Warren
such a recommendation that would
make it easy for Us to have Institutes
here more often than in the past. He
was very enthusiastic in his praise of
Marshall county and its enterprising
farmers. There was not enough of
the books to 60 around so Prof. Ho-
verstad made arrangements with us
to handle number that he has sent
up for distribution to those who were
present and unable to get one and to
those who were not present who de-
sire to get one. We have about
hundred and will be pleased to have
you call and get one.

general. The Colonel has had large
experience in stock raising in this
valley and what he says he has gath
cred from actual experience. Moth
ing Is guess work with him. What
he knows he has learned by going
through the mill. He says the time
is here when farmers must be look
ing around for some way to let go OF
wheat raising as the only thing to be
do on the farm. He paid very high
tribute to theintelligence Of the aver
age Red River Valley farmer and to
possibilities OF the country. He says
the fact that wecan't raise fruit here
successfully is no draw back to the
country for we can raise other things
here that gives us money to buy fruit
and when the balance is struck we
will have more money left than the
fellow that raises it. But he says
there are other things we can raise
that we don't raise enough off.
Wheat raising is merely the appren-
ticeship to real farming: 1t is mere
mechanical operation. No hard
work required. All you have to do is
/ to put the seed into the ground and
wait for moisture to do the rest. II
the season is favorable you get good
crop which you harvest and thresh
and sell. II the season happens to be
bad you are left. He claims that the
farmer should use the brains he has
rot only to get the most out OF his
land but to get the most for what
his land produces. At present the
farmer has no say in what he is to
receive for what he raises. The price
is fixed by the buyer. The time has
come for the farmers to think about
these matters. There has been a
time when many people made money
raising nothing but wheat but con-
ditions are changing and the wide-a-
wake farmer will take advantage of
the experience OF older countries and
not stick to losing game till bank
ruptcy forces him out Of it. Mixed
farming is the only practical solution
Of the problem. He says he can
raise stock in the Red River Valley
i just as cheap as the Iowa. farmer can
and he gave a long list OF his person
al experience to prove it. But when
a farmer goes into stock raising he
must not expect to work three or
four months in year and then come
to town and alkpolitics the balance
Of his time. Stock raising takes time
and attention. Stock must be cared
for if money is expected to be made
out of them. A man can't buy herd
of cattle and turn them out to hustle
for themselves and expect to make a
success of raising stock. He must
look after them summer and winter,
rain or shine. Ii he does this he has
something that is growing into
money all the year round. No mat.
ter what the conditions of the crops
are he always has something to turn
into cash. The speaker has devoted
his time to raising beef cattle, hogs
and sheep. he says a man who goes
into this line must make up his mind
as to the breed of stock he wants to
handle and stick to one breed. Hesaid
