Increase Of DRY Industry.

No one is doing more to encour-
age tn CARRY industry in the state
than Ilof. l.. E. Hoffman of the
state agricultural college. In a re-
cent communication to the North
western Agricnlturalist, he says:-
Gall parts of the state are we'll
adapted to dairy husbandry, but for
y few years it will probably not be
as extensively carried on in the
Red River Valley as elsewhere in
the state. Here land values are
higher and there are not as good
advantages for pasture and ranging
the young stock. Where native
pastures cannot be had, bronze
grass is being sown for pasture to
considerable extent with excellent
results. Forage crops Of all kinds
a be grown in all parts of the
state; chief among these are mil
let and corn, Millet hay makes an
excellent hay for dairy COWS, and
the seed, when ground can be used
for fattening steers, Sown as late
as the Fourth of July, it produces
large crops of hay. The acreage
Of corn, 10th for grain and fodder,
has shown a wonderful increase the
last few years, and now every farm
including the bonanza wheat farms,
has its field OF corn. Crops of forty
and fifty bushels to the acre are of
frequent occurrence, and in the
most unfavorable seasons, large
yields of fodder are obtained. Dur
ing the severedrought of 1900, Prof.
Sheppard at the Experiment Sta
ton grew six and two-thirds tons
of field cured fodder to the acre.
Glover and Alfalfa have not yet
been grown successfully. but it is
quite possible that in few years
some varieties will be developed
which will be hardy in some local
tiles.
North Dakota will continue to
grow as much wheat as ut present.
but on less acres. More wheat
farmers are not wanted. and it is
doubtful If they would be success
full. For the dairy farmer, there

t"cn the Red River Valley and

macaroli wheat, speltz and corn
fodder are all adapted to this Sec
ton of the state, and the farmer
who has the hustle and 'gumption"
to combine these with dairying and
hog raising car in Il few years,
make himself il comfortable home,
and at the same time educate his
children and put away something
for a rainy day" To depend on
wheat or flax alone would be dis
asterous.
Farmers from the older dairy
states have readily recognized the
possibilities of North Dakota for
dairying. and her cheap lands,
beautiful climate and many re-
sources are attracting the best of
settlers from the older states.

The Importance Of C%reameries.

New Salem. n. d.. June 20. 1903.
The first creamery in this vicinity
was established in 1895. at New
Salem and now we haye six sue
cessful ones shipping their butter
from here. The patrons received
nearly $4,000 for their milk dur
ing 1902 after all operating expen-
ses were paid, and it looked as
though the farmers believed there
was money in dairy farming for
them.
They received from thirty to for
ty dollars ii year from each COW for
the butter fat. and are raising good
calves and pigs ON the skim milk
and buttcrmilk.
We find a ready market for our
butterin Montana. Idaho andWash-
ington, receiving here Elgin prices.
This gives the creamery patrons a
pay day every month Of about $3.50
per COW during her milking period.
This amount viii: vary, of course.

ing. This is one of the good feat
ures of dairying, as it calls for DIFF
ferent forage crops, some of which
are sure to be a success.
AT first our native hay and grasse'
were depended upon for food ex
clusively. Now we are raising mil
