Barnes County Proud Of
It's Farms and Zine Herds

ing. It is a broad statement, but it is
a fact, that no section Of Minnesota or
Iowa can show more good farm horses
than this county. The farmers here
have been using the best type Of heavy
draft horses as sires for many years,
and the result is evident in the quality
Of the farm teams. Buyers come here to
purchase horses to take to the logging
camps, and farmers who have sold
horses know what that means.
Farmers have always raised cattle in
this county, some Of them on an ex-
tensive scale, and latterly good many
have directed their attention to the
raising of pure-bred stock. A. A.
Booth Of Rogers is the pioneer in this
line and his herd embraces about sew
ty-fve head of pure-bred shorthorns
S. Fletcher Of Matteson is also short
horn breeder and his herd contains
about one hundred head. Alderman J..

ing Polled Angus cattle and have fine
herds.
The dairy industry also receives sup
port and there are creameries at Valley
City, Fingal and Kathryn which receive
ample support.

What Ke11,,lnre 7Oun
Has Done in Sir. Years

Kenmare is six years old and has
a population Of 1900 and a school en-
rollment Of 400; a school building cost
ing $4,000, with steam heat and cleo
trio lights; six churches, ten fraternal
or secret orders, and an electric light
ing, telephone and water system. There
are three banks, seven general stores
with stocks from $4,000 to 100000 two
hardware and furniture stores, four
drug stores, four physicians, seven law
yers, and one dentist; four implement
dealers, three blacksmith shops, two
roller mills, one with capacity Of 200
and one with capacity Of 100 barrels
a day; six elevators, three lumber
yards, two newspapers, and an. opera
house with seating capacity Of 600.
To the real estate men Of Kenmare is
largely due the present prosperous de-
velopment Of the city and country; as
result Of their work, the land has been
quickly taken up until now it is nearly
all under cultivation. The farms are
well stocked and good substantial build
ings have been erected all thru the
country, SO that one passing thru could
scarcely realize that it had been farmed
but six wears.

Valley City, N. D., Feb. 22.-Men
who are looking for new homes in the
northwest and have money to invest in
farm lands can find no safer or more de-
sirable investment than in Barnes coun
ty. The country has demonstrated it's
crop and proft-producing possibilities.
It is not an experiment. here. It is a
settled fact that good money can be
made from the farms.
Those who 90 to new and undeveloped
countries take chances which are I'M
necessary, and in addition have to wait
for railroads and churches and schools
and other attributes Of civilization,
which go far towards making life worth
living and farming profitable.
It is a long drop from 500 an acre
land to land worth $40 or less an acre,
and those who have left the former will
undoubtedly find that the medium
priced lands, such as are to be had in
Barnes county, and where they have
none Of the disadvantages Of new
countries to contend with, will surely
prove more satisfactory in the long run.
Any mention Of what the farmers are
doing in Barnes county would be in
complete without a reference to the
character of the livestock they are rails

in the percentage of farmers who own
their own farms Seven states have
less money invested in manufactures.
The value of North Dakota s manufac-
tured products doubled from 1890. to
1900, and it is estimated that they have
doubled again since that period.
The record Of the state is without
parallel for certainty Of it's crops of the
staple cereals, wheat, barley, oats and
flax.
Corn Staple. 8
Corn growing in North Dakota is now
beyond the experimental stage, and is
considered necessary and regular crop.
On section farm there are often 100
acres or more in corn. In the eastern
part Of the state this crop has double
value. It produces the corn and fod-
der, and it is also credited with di-
rect money return in adding to the fer
tility Of the soil. Wheat grown after
corn will, in three years, out-yield by
fifteen bushels an acre land continu-
ously in wheat. Corn is now grown on
land which otherwise was summer fall
lowed, and SO long as corn has been Civ
en- these double values, SO long will the
state have feed that is cheaper than
anything grown elsewhere.
Corn, as grown and generally handled
in North Dakota is made at cost Of
about $3.50 an acre, which includes the
expense Of putting it in stacks in the
barnyard and ready for feeding. It is
often not husked, but isscut with corn
binder, stacked, and fed in the bundle
to horses, cattle and hogs. There is al
most no waste when fed in this manner,
certainly not enough to pay cost Of
husking.

but to broad, level plain, from fifty to
sixty miles wide. The soil produces
No. 1 hard wheat, and raises the bulk
of the crop of the state. The valley is
well supplied with railroads.; it con-
tains a large part of the present popuia-
ton of North Dakota, and has room for
many thousands more;

Lake Agassiz, 80 designated in honor OF

than the present Lake Superior: For
many years, as time is reckoned IN the
life Of man, an immense sheet OF Ice
rested upon the land.
Tt was in 1882 that Professor Denton
visited the Red river valley, and said:
uIt will be hard to find as large con-
nected body of good land elsewhere on
the continent, where the best food OF
man can be so readily produced, as in
the Red river valley. The poorest land
anywhere to be found in Minnesota or
the Dakotas is better than the average

Mouse River Valley.
The Mouse or Souris river comes
from Canadian territory, and after a
LONG sweep in ox-bow shape thru North
Dakota, returns north to reach Hudson
bay along with the Red river. There is
much timber along it's banks, and also
large deposits of Ignite coal Of good
quality, and farmers dig their own sup
plies from the hillsides. Stock-raising
IS the principal industry, altho success
: has been attained in the production of

James River Valley.
This river, locally known as the
"Jim,' and formerly as the Dakota,
rises in the central part of North Da-
kota and flows south, having length,
counting it's bends and curves, of over
500 miles, emptying into the Missouri
on the lower boundary of South Dako-
ia. After the Red river valley, it is
the best known section in the two Da-
kotas, not only on account Of its fer
tility, but because of it's artesian wells.

Improvements in cities and towns and
on the farms in North Dakota is only
resting with the season, that it may
start anew in the early spring. Many
enterprises now in embryo will
be pushed thru to successful issue be-
fore the close Of 1905.
The year is to be busy one, and with
the better understanding which expert
ence has given of conditions and the
way to meet them, there is no doubt at
all that it will be one of the best and
most prosperous in tho history Of the
state.
A Year for Homeseekers.
The homeseeker will never again have
such splendid opportunities. Missouri
slope land, unsurpassed for stock-rais-
ing and diversified farming, can be
bought for from SIS to $40 an acre.
Land in the older sections of the state
including the famous Red river valley,
can be had at from $25 to $35 an acre.
These tracts are worth far more than
lands of the east and middle east cost
ing three and four times as much.
North Dakota has good reason to be
proud of the position which it occu-
pies in the agricultural and stock-rais-
ing industries. The campaign Of its
real estate men for eastern business has
widely advertised these pursuits and
the immigration movement will set In
good and strong in a few weeks. 1t is
to be a big year for the northwest in
general and North Dakota in particular.
The state g realty men have set the pace
for all others and have advertised it as
no other state has been advertised in
recent years.

Kenmare, N. D., Feb. 22.-The de-
velopment Of Kenmare is largely due to
the fact that it is naturally located to
command the trade Of a large territory
that is farmed by a class Of intelligent
and thrifty farmers.
The citizens and business men Of
Kenmare are congenial, hospitable and
progressive, always working. in har-
mony to further any enterprise or pro-
ject tending to promote the interests Of
this region.
The survey has been completed and
the right Of way determined upon for
a new line Of the 500 railroad thru the
northern part Of North Dakota from
Thief River Falls, Mimi, to Kenmare,
it's western terminus and division point,
ready on the ground ready for use as
soon as spring opens. A roundhouse is
now under construction. When the line
is completed, Kenmare will be a very
desirable place as wholesale distribut-
ing point. It will also facilitate the
shipping Of coal to points in North Da-
kota and Minnesota.

The average American consul does
not understand the purpose for which
he has been sent abroad. He appre
ciates the "honor" and swells up I'm.
der it, but is neither alert, observing
nor studious Of our opportunities.
Generally he says that he isn't paid
enough to hustle" These conditions
are due entirely to the fault of our
system, by which politics is allowed to
overshadow competency. We must
begin on new lines; we must train
men to fill these posts, pay them bet
ter and insure them permanency and
advancement if they show ability and
enthusiasm in their duties. In other
words, we must inaugurate training
school for future consular and diplo-
matte employees Of the United States.

the right kind of agents in all parts of

WHY DO AMERICANS SUCCEED,

Why do we lead all the nations of
the earth in prosperity happiness and
individual contentment?
Why are we, Gs people, regarded as
an invincible power of impregnable
strength?
And why do we compel the admira-
ton of the whole world-at times
grudgingly given, but given, anyhow?
1t Is because we are free and indie
endent in the truest meaning of the
words.
We think for ourselves, act for our
selves, govern ourselves more than the
people Of any other nation.
We are absolutely self-reliant, q ma
tional trait that renders us independ-
ent of all other nations Independence
Is the keynote of our supremacy.
And this Is the reason why up-to-
date grocers and storekeepers appreci-
ate the fact that Americans of both
sexes have strong Wills OF their own,
and do not need interested advice.
Every up-to-date grocer knows per-
fectly we'll that for more than quar-
ter of century Lion Coffee has been
the leading package coffee and a well
come drink at the tables of millions Of
American homes.
He knows-and everybody else knows
that 1t has always kept its old
friends and steadily made new ones.
Good. reliable trustworthy grocers
willingly acknowledge this, and all in
dependent housekeepers will insist up
on having Lion Coffee and no other, no
matter what kind of an argument gro
GERS Of obstinate principles may adj
vance.
Americans want the best, and they
get the best and purest in Lion Coffee.
