NOTES FROM THE COUNTRY.

Glenview. N. D., Nov. 16- The
Harveys, Phil, Peter and Pat, form
quite a community in themselves, all
having located near one another years
ago, so that now, each having improv-
ed his property. their combined efforts
have resulted in this district being
one of the best appearing and most
productive to be found in many q
mile. Always looking for methods and
means by which to advance, their
latest departure has been that Of put
ting in a modern water power sys-
tenn to be worked by wind mill power.
Also a considerable addition to the
house of Phil. Harvey is being put
up another full story being added.
we have found in North Dakota
that which we came for, so of course
are content. We have found a place
where work and management show
results each season, a place where q
strong arm, and willingness to use 1t,
is SUFFICIENT capital to secure the mat
erial necessary to make a start for
oneself. If we have done any better
than others about us, it was simply
because w are three to one, and in
union there is strength. It's said"
Paris in Dairy Business.
Frank Paris, living not far from the
Harveys, is we'll established in the
dairy business, having a sale in Bis
marck among regular customers for
every pound of butter he is able to
make. He milks from 25 to 30 cows
the year round.
From the hills as n approaches
the Paris ranch, the number of build
ings to be seen on the place easily
conveys an idea of the extent to
which Mr.. Paris has carried this in
dustry. The extensive sheds, the var
ious corrals and yards laid out, as
they are, in regular order, all 90 to
give the place an appearance Of sys-
tematic order and industry.
We found Paris busily engaged ar
ing for his COWS. as it was just dusk
of a rather cold day and time the ami
mails were under cover.
Paris is a genial man and q hard
worker. who does not lose any time
SO long as there is a task before him.
sc 1t was without cessation from the
work he was doing, that he talked.
Il started" said he, a most of
them did, on a small scale, but as I
had little or nc competition was en-
ablcd to advance very rapidly. for
there has ever been q good market
for dairy products in Bismarck.
A few cows have increased to 80 or
40. and my original 100 acres have
doubled and redoubled as the needs
Of my animals increased.
Just at present I am unable to meet
the demands Of my customers as sew
eral of my best cow are dry, but will
soon have some new ones to take
their place.
Eyes, the work is hard and has lit
tie let up, nevertheless I enjoy it, and
it is profitable, which means a good
deal to US farmers.
Nursery Station.
Little faith has ever been put IN
the possibilities of North Dakota's ev-
er becoming a fruit raising state.
Nevertheless in this county of Bur.
leigh the Usage Nursery Co., Of Usage,
Ia, have established an experimental
station on the place of w. B. Couch,
where some flattering results have
been attained.
Apple and plum trees are believed
to be the most likely to survive the
hard North Dakota winter. 50 more
varieties of these fruits were set out
than of others. Still not to miss any
possibilities. gratis from peach and
pear trees were tried. OF eleven
gratis from hybrid plum trees ten
survived last winter. Every apple
tree sprout experimental with is still
living. The same result was obtained
with the shrub varieties, currants,
gOoseberries and even c%ranberries, all
living and healthy. During the sum-
mer The spouts all grew very rapidly.
Besides the fruit trees several vari-
