How the Dairy illustrates Life.
TOO MANY GENERAL PURPOSE COWS
AND MEN,

Students of dairy problems feel posi-
tive that dairymen rs rule do not make
the most of their opportunities. With
the production of many herds averaging
between three and four hundred pounds
of butter per COW per year and with cows
of such capacity secured with compare.
tive ease by breeding and selection, it
seems strange that the average dairy
man does not get more of move on,
and is contented to putter along with
an average return of l75 pounds per
year. And yet, is the average dairyman
much different from the average man in
any walk of life? How seldom do we
find one who is making the most of his
opportunities OF using his life for all
there is in it. This is to be found in all
walks. The common laborer seldom
rises to the plane of accomplishment of
his full capacity. The same is emphat-
ically true of the mechanic; in some
places it is difficult to get mechanics
who will do honest, skillful work. In
trade and even the professions human
nature is the same, and We find many
individuals who are falling far short of
When it comes to considering the manu-
facturer-the man who has charge of
machinery, other men and forces OF
nature-the case seems different. A
man knowing what the product of
factory should be is always straining to
do little better than that-to make the
wheels revolve little faster, tn save
little costs in handling, to get more ef-
iective machinery, and in other ways To
get the maximum not the average prod
uct. In the competition of business
only the machine that produces the
maximum amount is considered good
for anything. In similar way the
railway manager gets maximum OF ef-
ticiency from the forces at his command
And here is one of the strange things
about the dairyman. He is manu-
facturer, the COW being his machine,
and he is not as particular as the users
of other kinds of machinery to get the
maximum of product.
Considering again the man as an in-
dividual failing 10 accomplish what he
might, we find several causes combining
to produce this result. Some persons
are too easy by temperament to exert
themselves to the utmost. Others are
positively indolent and waste many valu-
able hours in sheer nothingness. An
other failure comes from bad habits.
la the dairy illustration We find that
the great cause of the lack of accom-
plishing what he might is due to the
fact that the dairyman uses too many
general purpose COWS, those that are lit
ted for nothing in particular, and this
strikes me as an illustration of under
lying cause for so many failures in life
doing nothing in particular. Ii every
young man would make up his mind to
learn how to do some one thing little
better than any one else, to excel in one
speciality, he would be apt to make more
of success in life. Very often the man
looking for job eau 90 nothing in par.
ticular, and he can get nothing to do ex-
cept where mere brute muscle is wanted.
No boy should start out with the nten-
ton of being general purpose man.
Excel in something and your services
will be wanted somewhere.-New Eng
land Farmer.

Egg.Eating Hens.

When the flocks are too large, the hens
crowd upon the nests during laying. If,
during this crowding, one of the hens
happens to drop an egg on the edge Of
the nest, or against the side, and it is
broken, the other hens will at once pick
up the contents. They thus acquire the
taste.
When hens are over-fat they will occa-
sionally lay soft-shelled eggs, and care
must be taken that sufficient amount of
cracked oyster she'll Is always within
reach to supply the needed lime. Quite
often these soft-shelled eggs are dropped
from the roosts at night and picked up
by the hens the next morning. Natural
ly, this shows the hens how good an egg
tastes, and the rest Is easy.
The moment q hen 10 found eating
eggs, she should be removed to separate
quarters, or she may teach the vice to
the rest of the flock. We know of no
positive cure for this evil, except de-
oapitation, and 1t would be far more
profitable to kill and sell such carcasses,
than to give them quarters In flock at
. loss.-Farm Journal.

MISSION MEETINGS
Held in the Swedish Lutheran
Congregations in Warren
and Vicinity.

A series of meetings of the Red
River Valley district of the Mime
sofa conference of Swedish Luther
ans are being held in the Swedish
Lutheran congregations in Warren
and vicinity this week. The first
meeting was held at Warren on
Tuesday evening. Eight pastors
besides the local pastor, Rev. J. A.
Mattson, are in attendance, namely:
Rev. J. Aim, of Fosston; Rev. Kron.
berg, of Crookston; Rev. Sand, OF
St. Hilaire; Rev. Noren, of Kennedy;
Rev. L. P. Lundgren, of Hallock;
Rev. Sjolinder, of Grand Forks;
Rev. 0. J. Andrews, of Englund
and Rev. A. T. Ekblad, of August
ana College, Rock Island, III.
Colporteur p. Dalquist is also as
sisting at these meetings.. This
evening festival arranged by the
young people will be given in the
basement of the church.

Notice to the Teachers.

It affords me great pleasure to
announce to the teachers of Mar
shall county that State Superin-
tendent J. w. Olson has again fa-
vored us with a summer school. The
school, which will be held in War
ren, will begin July 9Th and close
August End, with Mr.: E. T. Carroll,
of Wadena, as conductor, and Mary
G. Tanning, of St. Paul, and Mr.. T.
B. Diamond, Of Badger, as in
structors.
Examinations for teachers state
certificates will be held August 3rd,
4th and 5th. .....
It is my earnest hope and wish
that greater number of teachers
will attend this year than ever be-
fore, thus making greater number
than ever before, to obtain complete
state certificates. .e
Please do help to abolish this
abominable idea of ever asking for a
permit or county certificate. After
training school, I shall certainly not
consider such requests from any
one who neglected to attend summer
school.
We shall try to make your stay in
Warren as pleasant and profitable
as possible and with this end in
view, I kindly wish to remain,
Yours very truly,

Lewis & Clark Exposition.

tits noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is the
frstworld's fair to be held west of
the Rocky Mountains which has
secured the aid Of the Government.
And tits also surprising what
an interest is manifested in the
Exposition by the people of the
East. They see in the Exposition
an opportunity to visit the Western
country at a greatly reduced expen-
diture of money, and not only see
the Exposition itself, but view the
wonders of our Western scenery,
and witness the great resources of
the Northwest and the opportunities
afforded. The Great Northern Rail-
way passenger department has been
flooded with inquiries as to the
Exposition, and it augurs well for a
big travel through the Northwest
this year.

Business Openings In The
Northwest.

It seems to me that the man with
small capital can find no better
opportunity for investment and for
the establishment of a small busi-
ness than in some one of the many
growing towns Of the Northwest.
The Great Northern Railway
issues a booklet Business Open
ings," which adequately and
comprehensively describes the
needs of the many towns along it's
line and contains detailed list of
the business openings afforded the
man with limited means as well as
the big investor. I do not know of
section OF the country which offers
such limitless opportunities to the
man who is content to live in new
country. The fact that in nearly
every state of the Northwest there
is an available supply for almost
every form of manufacture, offers to
the manufacturer a chance to operate
close to the supply of raw material.
