cattle and more produce should be
raised, aid in doing this the road would
have more tonnage. In view of this
he has organized an Industrial depart
ment in his railway system that sends
out special trains at various times of
the year. equipped with the best talent,
to explain to the farmers along the
route how best to select their seed,
plant their crops and breed their cattle.
AS a result he has scientifically in
creased the yield per acre very largely,
has raised the grade OF the cattle,
which insures prosperity and a better
class of citizens.
He saw the evil of devotion to a sin
gle crop and the superior condition for
stock raising in this new country,
where the native varieties were of low
grade, and he scattered among the
counties along his roads blooded cattle
and hogs, imported by himself, in order
to improve the native strains of stock.
The aggregate valuation of the farms
pierced by the Great Northern's lines
has increased to a billion and half
dollars. Their grain product has risen
to 500, 1000 900 bushels and their stock is
worth nearly half billion more. The

the fact that for a period of fifteen

ing day.
Mr.. Hill preached the gospel of low
grades, heavy power, large capacity
cars and big trainloads at a period
when these things appeared visionary
to most railroad men. He has been a
pioneer in the adoption of standards for
railway location, construction and OPP
Grafton which have revolutionized the
Industry of rail transportation and re-
duced the cost to level much below
that which any foreign country has
been able to reach. His chief ambi-
tion has been to haul upon his roads a
with profit to his company than any OF
it's competitors could on theirs, and as
result the average freight rate per
ton per mile to the producing shipper
has been reduced from three cents per
mile to eight mills.
AS Mr.. Hill distances competition on
land products, so he claims his ships
will master it on sea by their conquer
ing low freight rates. American bid
ders were able to furnish Japan with
steel rails from Pittsburg to Yokohama
for So per ton, and now the farmers
and millers of the northwest are look
ing to the orient for their best Gus

new demand has sent up the price of

"Went out to Kansas, guess, to help
harvest the wheat crop and found the
pace too strong"
you're dead wrong" said the weary
one, heaving a sigh. II started for the
Sunfower state with a goodly bank roll
and a great scheme for exterminating
the fierce and untamed Kansas grass

He is man of medium height, but
broad and powerful of build and

lions of gallons of oil were purchased
and set out for the delectation of the
grasshoppers. They were not molested,
and billions of the doomed ones flocked
to the feeding troughs, bringing even
their graybeards and young ones to
share in the good things and offer
praise for the sudden altruism of man
kind. Gleefully we waited for night to
come, so that the firefies would light
up and touch off those oil soaked hop
pers. Well, sir, 1t was a failure-eyen
in the cases where the explosions ma
terialized.
"Some thousand dissolute hoppers ex-
ploded that night, but every one of
them had posthumous revenge, for he
set fire to barn or haystack in so
doing. The owners tried to lynch me-"
"But the other countless billions, how
did they escape?"
"Well,' said the narrator sadly, "they
have a plant out there something like
our rubber plant, which has properties
like asbestos. Every one of these hop
pers wrapped itself in a leaf of this
plant and staggered home in grand
style and without fear of fire. Now,

the listener.

/ knew that God in his wisdom had
made it for a good purpose"
What and where is the best field to-
day for an ambitious young man?" 1
asked.
"There you are" he exclaimed. "The
best field? Why, all the wealth in the
world comes from four sources; either
the farm, the forest, the mine or the
sea. But as to the best field of oppor-
tunity. that depends upon the man,
and the good men are in greater de-
mand than they ever were. The simple
truth is that the man who attends to
his work will succeed anywhere. Sue
cess never comes to the man who is
watching the clock for fear he might
work minute overtime. The man who
succeeds is the man who is not satisfied
merely to do the work laid out for him,
but does more. But now to produce
wealth; that answer may be found in
the thorough organization which is go
ing on in every branch of modern bust
ness life. Better methods of conducting
business are coming into rapid adop-
tion, and the man who works with a
system, has common sense and the
make his way to the top, no matter
how humble his start or how poor his
circumstances.
"There is not a branch of modern
nuSineSc 1ifa which doae not paad soia,,
tific knowledge, and the more science
of the most widely different kinds in
troduced the better. Sooner or later it
all comes into play. No man is ruined
by knowing too much as long as he
makes practical use of his education.
His determination, or lack OF it. to ap-
ply what ne knows in his work may
mean to him the difference between
ultimate success and failure.
"The men who have the capacity and
are content to work are not in danger
of failing.
ITO a certain extent am in favor
of a college education for young man
just to the length that it broadens his
higher conceptions of life, increases his
manhood and does not make him
prig.
But many students leave their alma
mater with disgust for business
career and a feeling bordering on con-
tempt for the practical worker. Such
sentiment is unwholesome for social
conditions, dangerous to industrial and
political institutions and should be
wiped out. What we ought to teach in
college and church and home is the
healthy doctrine that nobody in this
world has right to live without work;
nobody has a right to exist on the ener-
gies of another.
"The day has come when we need
the broad system of public education
along agricultural lines. The success

cesses of nature, in the elements of
fertility, in the soil, in the methods of
cultivation, in the diversiication of

mechanics and such engineering meth
ods as are necessary to enable the
farmer to cope with the engineering
problems of his own farm. And l will
say right now that, while it has not
been proven that the higher education

ture calls for cooperation. Now of
course, I want the west to be the hest
land under the sun, and am interested
in its prosperity and in the institutions
which are to be enjoyed by those who
shall live there after my work is fin
ished.
But there are three vital questions
to be considered in the making Of our
west. and these are irrigation, coloniza-
ton and cooperation. Working out
state and national irrigation policies
which shall make homes for millions
has been agitated for years. In North
Dakota the water supply through the
wells and other reservoirs can be made
to irrigate about two million acres; In
Montana, ten millions; in Idaho. three
millions; in Washington, three millions.
The land not susceptible to agricultural
pursuits but which would be valuable
If irrigated is estimated as follows:
North Dakota, ten million acres: Mon
tana, thirty millions; Idaho, ten mill
lions; Washington, fifteen millions.
You can add one hundred thousand
farms to the population of North Da-
kota alone with intelligent irrigation
and drainage and provide each one
with farm of two hundred acres.
Now, with the rainfall under his own
CONTROL the farmer can easily produce
as much as from two hundred acres
as he could from five hundred acres
Of ordinary land, for one of the great
est fertilizers known is water.
"Then after the water has been pro-
vided we must have the settler. The
farm life of the future will have many
advantages over the loneliness of the
old farm life, because the farms will be
smaller, schools and roads will be bet
ter. neighbors closer and social sur
roundings improved, which would be
impossible where the farms are large
and the houses far apart And that
will be just as it should be-"
Millions Of Farms
Mr.. Hill warmed with enthusiasm
and paced the floor excitedly.
"Then you think that with natural
to give away farms?"
Millions of them,' said Mr.. Fill,
emphatically; that is just what I dc
think, millions of them. Why, soil
to which is given all the water it can
use will produce four times an average
product.
"Under the National Irrigation act
it is estimated that at least a million
acres in North Dakota alone could be
furnished with water for irrigation at
cost of SIS per acre, but 1 believe 1t
could be done for $40.
'If the government built the works,
the land would repay it in annual in
stallments extending over a period of
ten years. The trade and industry OF
all states affected by this system would
be stimulated and the annual acreage
product of the irrigated lands might
easily reach fifty dollars per acre.
"The west has great opportunities
for the selfmade man, in fact. nearly
al of the men at the head of our big
enterprises arrived there by hard work
and bull dog tenacity.

and mining are industries that bring
