at home, but the family was CORE

winter Feeding the Cow.

Many farmers treat their COWS dur
ing the winter as they do their horses
who are not working that is, they
give them just enough food to keep
life in them until they can be put out
to pasture again. They argue that
they can dispose of milk to much bet
ter advantage in the summer, and
that if they have too much milk IN
winter they will have to make more
butter than they wish to. That's a
lazy mans way of doing business
IL it is not desired that the cows give
large quantities of milk during the
winter the ration may be changed or
even reduced somewhat, but it can
not be lacking in the essentials which

An Object Lesson in Fat Cattle.

The grand champion steer of the in
ternational live stock exposition Of
1904, winner over all breeds and all
ages and classes, Clear Lake Jute H.,
an Aberdeen-Angus two-year-old, was
sold at public auction on Friday, Dec.
,, at $50 per hundredweight. The
price obtained for this steer was SO
per hundredweight higher than that
obtained for the grand champion steer
Of the international live stock EXPOSE
ton in 1908. Jute's weight was 1,S70
pounds, and the price S36 per hundred
weight, figured up $613,20 for the
Minnesota Agricultural College of st.
Anthony Park, Mimi, the owner. This
steer was certainly a model of its kind.
and great credit is due to all concerned
in the handling of it, especially to
those connected with the Minnesota
Agricultural College, which certainly

If you are dissatisfied with your
North Dakota farm or business,
don't sell out on the impulse of the
moment and goin search of greener
fields. Take a months vacation
and trip north, south, east and
west, compare the advantages and
disadvantages of other sections with
your own, and more than likely you
will return better contented with
your condition and surroundings
than you have been in years. We
firmly believe that no state offers
greater opportunities to it's citizens
in general than does North Dakota.

During the past week or two,
there has been a number of men
passing through this section look
ing for work, but when approached
on the subject they have some ex-
cuse, such as the job is too far out
in the country and the wages are
too small. These kind Of men do
not want to work, and there should
be some way of compelling them
to do so There is no need for a
man to be idle who earnestly de-
sires work. Wages are good and
the harvest is waiting.

The sentiment expressed in the
following from an exchange is old,
but it is SO good it will bear repeat
-"There is not person living
but who has occasion more or less
frequently to speak good word for
his town and community and so aid
in promoting the general welfare.
Many people do not properly weigh
the effect of casual remarks made
to strangers or to residents of our
neighboring towns. Did it ever
occur to you that the reputation of a
community is something not man
ufactured abroad, but is made by
the residents within the commun-
ity itself? This is fact. It is
also a fact that the reputation of a
place has a very substantial value.
Then, it is also a fact that if every
resident of town will bear these
things in mind and act upon them
there will be two things accom-
plished. First, property will be
made more desirable by reason of an
improved reputation; and, second,
: -. IL X.
life will be pleasanter, brighter and
more enjoyable by reason of the
knowledge Of this same improved
reputation. It is worth the effort,
and requires but faith in ourselves,
local pride and a cheerful tongue.

hates wilmer, anyway 81.

A table recently made public by
Commissioner Richards, of the
General Land Office, shows that
there are now II, O97 ,45l acres of
vacant government land in North
Dakota. A few years ago there
were over twelve million acres of
vacant government land in the Bis
marck Land District alone. This
shows, in a measure, how rapidly
has been the appropriation Of gov
eminent land in North Dakota in
the past few years. Tribune.

THE NEW GRAIN INSPECTION.

The Minneapolis Tribune says
the Minnesota elevator men and
commission and grain handling in
spectors will fight the Wisconsin
interests law. Most of the Supe-
rior terminal elevators are owned
by Minnesota parties who propose
to checkmate the law by making
them private elevators and conse-
quently not liable to public inspec-
ton. Superior grain men will pre-
vent the sale of grain from such
elevators in eastern markets and in
that they will have the cooperation
Of New York and other eastern
grain men who will refuse to accept
grain that has not been officially
graded in the state where the ele-
vators are located. The result of
this whole agitation will be that
the farmers of the northwestern
states will be greatly benefited by
securing fair grades, their wheat
go into the consumers hands at
such grades as are given them and
the mixing houses will go out of
business. Mixing houses have be-
come numerous at Minneapolis and
and Duluth. Their business was
to mix wheat in such manner as
to make it barely good enough to
take grade, as, for instance, they
will purchase car of extra good
hard" and a car of good 90" and
mix them into "skin grade of
northern" So down through the
various grades would this mixing
be-carried until the generalcharac-.
ter and quality Of all the grades
would be much poorer. The injus-,
tice comes in our wheat averaging
much poorer when it reaches the
miller, worth less to him and conse-
quent loss in price of and demand
for our wheat. One of the princi-
pie ideas of the Wisconsin inspec-
ton was to prevent this mixing
and create additional demand by
selling grain to the consumer just
as it was graded to the producer.
To this end one Wisconsin, one
North Dakota and one New York
man were made to constitute the
Board. The two latter constitute
a majority and represent the pro-
ducer and consumer, who are inter-
ested in maintaining the purity of
the wheat. The law will make the
Wisconsin and Minnesota lake
ports competitive markets, which
they have not been in the past, as
Minnesota grades and rulings of
the Duluth Board of Trade have
controlled both at Duluth and Su-
perior. This competition will also
stimulate the Minneapolis market.
Our interests are altogether with
the Superior people in this fight

1t is vastly important that by

men should learn certain element

and discredited ex-Vice President
Of the Equitable, is pitiable ex-
ample of what young man should
want not to be. Writing beneath
the tortures of scandal for which
he was largely responsible, and

Hyde has determined to expatriate
himself and spend the remainder of
his life in Europe. Here is mod

there are plenty of other Hydes in

deferred by the example of their
ignoble prototypes. In his declin-
ing years, U. S. Senator Mitchell,
of Oregon, is convicted Of defraud-
ing the very government that he
has sworn to defend. From po-
sition Of great trust and honor, he
descends to the level of common
criminal. He is due to exchange
the senatorial toga for the striped

like these might be multiplied in
