There is no need of worrying or
fretting because some one has found
fault with what you do, says an ex~
change. IT'S the common lot of men
in business. The merchant does not
please all of his customers; the post
master is cuffed and kicked for al
legged mistakes, the butcher is forever
reminded of his tough beefsteak and
the minister finds it hard to please all
of his congregation with his sermons.
The newspaperman gets more than his
share of it and is expected to get out
cheerful paper just the same. A
man befriends another for years and
is turned down and abused. Such
things are not always pleasant but
they always have been and doubtless
always will be so, and the easiest way
is to pay the least attention to them
and go right along, trying to be pleas
ant and useful.

locomotive. This is the position of

locomotive. This is the position of
the company. The officers OF the
trainmen's organization admit that
the Great Northern has offered them
all the wage concessions demanded,
but maintain that they must receive
the same treatment on the double
header question from the Great North
ern as they have from the other trans
continental roads, all of which, they
they say, haye agreed to abolish the
double header or pay double time to
the train crews on such trains. The
trainmen's officials have gomez to their
homes and the question of whether or
not there shall be strike has Deen
subm tied to a vote of the employees of
the road. Each side is confident that
the vote will sustain its position.
Manager Ward has issued forty
five page pamphlet containing CON-
plete record of the proceedings with
the trainmen's committee regarding
the settlement of the wage and double
header questions.
The booklets are being distributed
among the trainmen with view to
giving them an accurate idea of the
company's position.
It is expected that the final result
will be known before the end of the
week.

Sugar beets as Stock Food.

Last spring large number OF Kan.
diyohi county farmers decided to try
the experiment OF raising sugar beets
for the market. Several hundred
acres were put into this crop. This
year there will be very little of this
crop put in here. The farmers found
that, while the production of beets
was quite good the cost of attending
to the crop was too great to make it
profitable. While they could afford
to devote the necessary time to culti-
waiting the beets the first part of the
season, they could not do so without
loss after haying and harvest CON-
menced. We have interviewed a great
many of those who tried it, and not
one of them will repeat the expert
ment.
One of the farmers, however, told
US that while he would raise no more
sugar beets for the market, he would
put ia some as feeding crop. He
tried it some last winter and found
that the sugar beet makes splendid
feed for mich COWS and young stock.
Being so rich in sugar they form an
ideal food for producing rich milk
and for fattening purposes. He said
a farmer could get at least fifty per
cent more out of them by feeding them
to the stock than by selling to the
sugar manufacturers. We mention
this for the benefit of other farmers
who may like to try the experiment.
Kandiyohi county is becoming more
and more stock raising county, and
anything that tends to solve the feed
problem will be welcome. Many are
still sticking to grain raising because
they have no good hay lands. If
they can find good and cheap feed
stuff to supply nutritious food they
can produce all the roughage needed
by the stock from shredded corn,
straw and millet: With the present
prices of agricultural land grain rails
ing alone will pauperize the farmer.
If any other farmers have tried sug-
ar beets for feed we. shall be glad to
hear from them on the subject.
