The following OH the automobile
clip from the Litchville Bull
letin: The automobile is a machine
that is always going somewhere
but never gets there. A man who
has automobiles is cranky. If you
doubt this watch any of them try
ing to start a machine. You can
tell a man who owns an automo-
bile as far as you can smell him
by that Rockefeller odor or as far
as you can see him by the seraphic
expression on his countenance; or
as far as you can hear him by the
rapid and explosive use of reckless
language. He carries with him at
all times a house moving outfit,
ropes, jack-screws and cork-screws;
with an extra bottle Of gasoline
on ice-most of the time. When
you see one coming turn your
horse loose and climb the first tele.
phone pole-you may escape with
out permanent or fatal injuries.
If you see an automobile stop
sorter suddenly in the road and
the owner crawl under it fifteen or
twenty times and then walk around
it several hundred times waving
his arms now and then hitch up
and go to his assistance. Tell him
you are very busy but most any Of
'em will pay you IS to haul them

The BoTTINEAU CoURANT SAYS:
Unless it rains soon, the pessimist
will get out his hammer and pro-
eeed to knock North Dakota. On
the Their hand, if it rains within
20 days the crops will not suffer.
And it will rain. Then the man
with the hammer will knock about
it being too wet. Don't pay any
attention too him! There's some

North Dakota Wheat.

There is probably no article Of
produce of North Dakota that has
contributed more to the enviable
reputation of the state than it's
wheat. Wherever No. Hard finds
its way and made its name, it has
advertised North Dakota. Years,
ago Minnesota had the credit for.
about all the hard wheat that found.
Fits way into the market; then Da-
kota came to the front, but of later
years the reading public knows that
North Dakota is the state famous
for the finest wheat in the world,
The people of this state have &C.
copied the muniicence of nature
as a gift to be improved upon by
intelligent labor, and as a reward
have attained to the highest results
in the character of their product
and yet there is not nearly as much
of this valuable article of commerce
grown as could be produced. Year
by year, the amount Of wheat avail
able for export to other lands is
growing less. 1t will be but a few
short years until the ports of New
York and Baltimore, Boston and
Philadelphia will send forth n O
wheat to trans tlantic consumers.
We read a week or two ago the
strange intelligence that a cargo Of
wheat which was sent some months
to Antwerp from this county, had
come back; that it was worth more
on this side Of the water for Amer
lean consumption than it was worth
on the other side of the ocean.
When the time ONE that our
wheat is no longer exported, then
Liverpool will cease setting the
price for our wheat. Our own sup
ply and demand will do that for us.
Then the owner Of North Dakota
soil available for growing wheat
will find something, find real prop
erty on his own hands that will have
materially enhanced in value; and
North Dakota, if her farmers take
Of the opportunities that
exist for improving their crops will
become still more famous for the
unique quality of the all important
cereal used SO extensively by the
most civilized peoples of the world.

UNPROFiTABlE COWS.

ohoald He Butchered as Soon ~
worthlessness 10 Proved.
There is only one place for the I'M
profitable dairy COW, and that Is the
block. The time to Gull is at the end
of the second lactation period. says
the Iowa Farmer. BY this time a COW
will have proved her worth or worth
lessness as a mixer. She will have
less free board and will make better
steak than II kept longer. Not only in
the case Of the dairy COW is individu-
atty to be considered. but In that Of
the dairy bull as well. 1t Is even more
important in his case since he is one
half the herd In the matter of progeny.
The best dairy herds are built up by
raising the best heifer calves from
ones own cows.
The dairy bull should Of course be
4 pure bred animal, since such a one
will more surely transmit his own
characteristics and those Of his ances-
tors to his offspring and one of the
principal things his pedigree should
show is good milking qualities in the
females.
However. it is not enough that he be
pure bred. He must be good isdi-
vidual to insure his getting good
calves. Some one has said in sub
stance that no scrub Is SO harmful
as pure bred scrub This Is certain
ly true in the case OF the dairy bull,
for pure bred, as before stated, is
more prepOtent than an animal OF
nondescript breed, and bad qualities
are even more likely to be transmitted
than good ones. 49,. 49,.
Appearances are sometimes deceiv,
ing, and only time will tell what a
bull is really worth. However. a great
deal can be accomplished by good
judgment In selecting the animal which
Is to head the herd Above all, look
for constitution. Nothing is SO detri-
mental In dairy herd as lack Of VI
tally. Due to the artificial conditions
under which dairy cows are often kept
diseases are so numerous and of such
variety that constitutional vigor is most
essential in order that the germs may
not obtain a fOothold.

Auto Racing Dimcsltles


Gathering together the big racing
cars OF the country with their clever
drivers for automobile race meets is
about as much as a race promoter
wants to accomplish. Travelling with
a huge racing car Is expensive work,
and. there being 50 much racing in the
east and around New York, promoters
do not like to move to any great dis
lance.
Racing at the best is an expensive
proposition. and race promoting with
all the big cars is a money making
proposition. The promoter therefore
has to deal with men who know that he
is out to make the money, and they de-
mand enough out of the receipts to
cover their expenses. The promoter
puts up good purses. but does not fig
IRE that he must pay men literally in
guarantees to go after the big purses.

CONCERNING SILACE

A dairyman who has long fed corn
silage says: Corn silage is nothing more
nor less than canned corn, and it is
better than corn stover for the same
reason that canned fruit Is better than
dried. Tie farmer who has built q
good silo and filed it properly never
says that silage is not "A good feed, but.
on the contrary, he cannot say too
much in its favor. He finds in the
spring that his silage fed cattle have
coats as sleek and smooth as most
cows do by the middle of June. 1t IL
well attested fact that an animal
with 4 glossy coat is invariably In
good health and properly nourished,
and it Is from the well nourished cows
that we get our strong and healthy
calves.
SilOs Cut Down Cost of Butter.
4 Connecticut farmer, writing in
Rural New Yorker. says: 1t is nearly
fifteen years since | first became inter-
ested in silage, but it was only five
years ago that built my first silo. My
second was put up a year later Pre-.
viously had fed hay. stalks and grain
to my small herd. The silOs are Of best
cypress stock and cost about 1929 each.
These cut down the feed cost of butter
between 10 and IS per cent.
