sOMEIDEAS OF FARMING.

Anyone who will look about him
1an see that every line of business
N the large cities is furnished with
help far beyond the number for
which there IS any steady demand.
Should anything happen to general
business conditions, Immediately
the cities would be filled with peo-
pie out of living employment. This
IS not 50 in farming The farmer
IS sure of steady living employment,
sometimes more. sometimes less
profitable, but always Of living en-
ployment. If he cannot sell his
products he can eat them and live.
st this time all conditions point to
earning as the most inviting, the
most profitable business for young
men. For the young man on a
arm. who owns farm. or whose
Gather owns one, the inducements
10 stay there far exceed those to
leave it and engage in other bust
mess. If money be the standard,
young men farming are making
more money than those engaged in
other pursuits. There is no bus;-
ness by which a young man may
more surely or easily gain home
7nd a competence than by farming.
1T is practicable for any man to save
mis- earnings for four or five years
4 young man who viii do this will
nave no difficulty to acquire a piece
of land and he is then ready to
start life for himself, and is on the
Eoad to success. Thousands and
thousands Of men have started life
IN this mlnrer and have become
well-to-do, who, owing to their lack
Ssf opportunity and means could not
have made a success in any other
way.
People constantly fool themselves.
Just think of the isolation of the
Eamily of the working man in a
large city. They live in a fat, miles
perhaps from the factory where
theIhead of the family is employed.
Such family usually does not
know its own neighbors; its friends
are few and scattered over the city.
There is constant scrimping and
scratching to make ends meet, and
ff the father should lose his position
or some one get sick, debt immedi-
ately stares them in the face. Com
spared to this, life on the farm IS
Paradise, indeed.
a farm is an independent bust
-less concern and the greater the
amount of brains employed in its
management, thel greater the re-
turns. No man need think that he
faas too much brains for Turning;
on the contrary it takes more to be
q good firmer than a good business
man. The ordinary business is con-
Quoted along rather narrow lines;
while farming in addition to being
4 very healthy occupation, broad
ems a man and gives him informa-
ton on a great variety of subjects.
Besides being an occupation lead
ing to health and intelligence, there
is an independence in farming
which the average man can acquire
IN no other way. He is his own
master. and need pay no attention
60 the footing of the whistle or the
directions of boss, He is supreme
IN the consciousness that every
ching he does is done as he himself
wants it, and that every stroke he
makes is for himself.

A Bit of Pure Sentiment

Alice Browns "Grief Defcrredh in
the March McClure'S is delicious bit
OF pure sentiment. 1t is the story Of
a woman who refused to give way to
the sorrow Of a youthful love affair,
putting off her grief from day to day
until she became an old lady, when
through a combination of circum-
stances she finds that she need never
give way to it, "I've had more happi-
ness than most folks have in their
whole lives" she says at the end, eve
had all there is" Side by side with
this main theme, runs another love
story of youth.

Better Dairy Cows

To breed the profitable dairy co" is
the biggest problem ahead OF the
Dakota farmer. Breeding up ana
wedding out is the process. In order
Io weed out milk must be weighed
and tested throughout the year.
\. S. French OF LaMoure county,
n. D., who spoke at u farmers lnsti-
tute here says that few COWS mere
weld over 100 pounds Of butter fat IN
a year, In this connection 1t Is
interesting to note what they are
doing in Minnesota. The recent re-
port of the dairy commissioner of that
state shows that in 1890 the product
of butter fat from the average COW
was 10 pounds: in 1885 it was IA: in
1900. 1913: in 1905, 1873 That this in
crease if far below what it might have
been is shown by statistics taken by a
representative of lIoard's Dairyman
who visited 100 average herd OF south
eastern Minnesota. lnthat region he
found the average Yield OF butter fat
to be l45 pounds. How many OF ouI
Brown county dairymcn have as yet
become systematic enough to keep d
record Of each COW and know which
really pays:

Scott Fair.

The people of the "Coulee'
eight miles from Scott, where
FIR Detch'' goes to say mass
once a month, are actually vieing
with the ''Rodere" in generosity
for the preparations for the
Scott Fair on the Goth and 21st of
October.
It looks as if all our good
planters were in earnest abOutit.
They want to show they full we'll
appreciate all that has been done
since the establishment Of a
church in Great Scott. No
more can they forget their pre-
viously sad and neglected con-
dition from a religious point of
view than the first settlers could
their wild, uncultivated prairies.
Francois Trahan, Desire DuhOn
and Paul Bourg, the magnates of
the place, mean to present FIR
Detch" for his coming Fair with
some valuable articles as a tri-
butte of their deep gratitude.
1T would be downright shame
on us", they were lately heard
to say, ito allow the "Rodere"
or even GLORIOUS Scott" to beat
US on that score. We want to
show Ito prove) that the planters
in our district come next to none
in any good cause.
Never before in the Attakapas
a Fair fraught with better prOmi-
Ses was seen. The whole
parish is in it. We all know the
efforts of mass must accomplish
greater results than would the
enthusiasm of a few individuals.
High purposes have always been
effected by union.
Friends in Lafayette also are
helping towards making the Fair
a success. We acknowledge the
gift of a nice clock from Mr.. P.
Krauss and a very pretty lamp
from Mr.. Gus. Schmulen.
