Why Shouldn't Brinkley?

Editor ARGUS:
 Why shouldn't Brinkley have some such an enterprise as canning fac tory1
 All kinds of vegetables can be suc- cessfully grown here from early in the Spring until late in the Fall. so that such factory could be kept busy from May lst to Nov. lst, period Of six months every year, and this is per haps two months longer than the average canning factory of the North operates.
 Besides vegetables, many kinds Of fruits can be, and are. successfully produced. thus giving great variety of products as material for such a factory to work up. and this would in sure good profit to the investors in the enterprise. In addition it wouio be the means of stimulating ana en- couraging diversified farming. draw here an enterprising class of farmers increase the price of farm lands, de- velop the unimproved land. build up the town. increase the business ot the railroads. and in many ways. promote prosperity in our midst.
 And an enterprise Of this kino would be perpetual benefit. Its raw material could always be produced

Wherever there is a fertile soil with
abundant moisture and an intelligent
and Industrious population, the closely
settled, highly civilized rural commu-
nifty is possible. Irrigation is not
necessary condition to such ideal coun-
try life; it provides a sure supply of
water and thus furnishes certainly and
unfailingly the first requisite of pros
perity and civilization; but wherever
nature gives moisture in abundant and
regular quantity the small, highly pro-
ductive farm, the farmer living in lefs-
ure and comfort, and advanced rural
society are possible. Why have such
communities as Sunnyside in Washing
ton, the Payette neighborhood in Idaho,
and Eagle Valley in Oregon, never de-
veloped west of the Cascade mountains?
The land may be made to support as
many people to the square mile, while
the beneficience of nature forestalls the

The rainfall is abundant, and 1t comes
when it is most useful. Is 1t possible
that what we most lack in this part of
the world is an intelligent understand
ing and use of our own advantages?

control the conditions surrounding his
COWS completely. He can see that
every animal is kept clean and healthy
and adopt such methods in handling
milk from cow to the churn that will
insure it to be clean and pure. This
a creamery man cannot do with all his
customers, some of whose herds he
never sees. He can look after the skim
ming and handling of cream, SO as to
have it in prime condition and prop
erly ripened when ready for the churn.
The creameryman takes the milk or
cream just as it comes from all kinds
of cows, managed in as many different
ways as there are farmers furnishing
supplies. One or two careless, Indifferent
dairymen will contaminate and faint
the whole supply. The impure bacteria
in any lot of milk multiplies itself a
great many times every hour, increas-
ing in geometrical progression. We
venture the assertion that if customers
could see some of the places where
cream and milk are produced which goes
to all dairy establishments, they would
thereafter have little use for that kind
of butter.

Butter Making for Private Trade.

Occasionally we find man who pos
sesses the necessary qualifications and
has a. suitable location to go into the
business Of making butter for private
customers. With full knowledge of
the science of modern butter making
and some practical knowledge in hand
ling the product, the business can be
made to produce better profit than
that realized by those who patronlze
the regular creamery or dairy and some
say the butter is actually better than
much of the regular creamery product.
Were this not true they could not hold
their customers year after year, and
realize higher prices right along than
for creamery butter The farm butter
maker has many advantages over the
ordinary creamery, which makes 1t pos
sible for him to make a superior article
of butter. In the first place, he can

The Small Farmer and Irrigation.

Under the reclamation act of 1902
no landholder can obtain water to irri-
gate a tract exceeding 100 acres from
a government ditch. The obvious pur-
pose of this provision is to induce own
ers of large tracts to sell them in small
lots to settlers. It involves no injus-
tice. because the land without water
will be quite as valuable after the irri-
CATION system is established as 1t is
now. Indeed, 1t will sell for more, since
an unearned increment to Its value Will
arise from the settlement of neighbor-
ing tracts.
If the owner already has water for
his land and surrenders his prior right
to promote an irrigation project, he
makes no real sacrifice. The influx Of
population upon every irrigated tract
invariably causes the price of land to
rise enormously, so that what might
seem like a sacrifice in surrendering
pioneer water rights is really an in
vestment and a very profitable one
These matters are SO nearly self-evi-
dent and are so thoroughly understood
on all sides that those who charge the
government with injustice in its re-
ouirements cannot be supposed wholly
that they are seeking to obtain the ben
efits Of irrigation at the expense or
their neighbors, or else that they pre-
fer a small, selfish advantage to the
welfare of a whole community.
A farm Of 100 acres has been the
ideal Of the United States government
in all it's dealings with settlers on the
public domain, and experience has
proved it's wisdom. The homesteader
on his quarter-section has created flour
fishing commonwealth from Ohio to
the Rocky mountains. For grain farm
ing with machinery, that is enough
land to exercise the brain and muscle
of a man and his family. If he has
more he must become an exploiter OF
hired labor; he is no longer self-suf1c-
ing.
In irrigated regions quarter-sectlon
is too much for one man to farm. 1t
not only requires an investment beyond
the means of most men who wish to
make an independent living with the1r
hands, but it also requires more LABOR
than one family can furnish. lrr1-
gated land is usually so productive that
a tract of twenty acres or less, thor
oughly cared for, furnishes plenty OF
work for a farmer and his boys, ano

One Of the complaints made by corn
belt feeders is that the western range
cattle lack capacity for taking on a
finish that enables them to command
the highest price. They do not mean
that there are not some good cattle on
the ranges, for there are. Recent years
have made a good deal of difference in
range stock. The range cattlemen have
been the best customers the breeders
of pure-bred beef animals have had
and they have been willing to pay good
prices for good bulls, to the very mani

The owners of innumerable forage
ranches all over the irrigated west pro-
duce great quantities of second class
roughage which cannot be sold at any
price and which left unsold becomes a
regular nuisance on the place. Most of
our native meadows have very good
aftermath in the fall and this ought
to be utilized so as to get little profit
out of it. Most farmers who own such
places do not have many cattle, and as
they are not especially stuck on the
sheep business they look around in the
fall for a little bunch Of yearlings or
something Of that sort to put on the
ranch to do the browsing and cleaning
up act. These people have no choice as
to the kind Of stock they take.

How to Avoid Distress and Indigestion
After Eating.

Let us tell you how you can enjoy
a good dinner, so that the heartiest
meal will set well on your stomach
and cause no unpleasant and disagree
able after effects.
We will show you how to regain the
appetite of your childhood and the en-
joyment of food, so that it will taste
as well as when mother cooked the
dinner.
There is no hard work necessary to
do this; no need of a rigid and self
denying diet list; no call for nasty and
disagreeable medicines. Simply take
a Mn-o-na stomach tablet before each
meal and before going to bed. and it
will so strengthen the stomach that
before long a hearty meal will give
you qualification and comfort, without
the least fear of distress and suffering

labor to which the general public is
exposed.
Many machines are to be shown in
actual operation. while others are to
be illustrated by working models or
photographs. Among the displays are
wood and metal working machinery;
stamping, grinding and polishing ma
chinery; presses; textiles; devices
used in the building trades; safe
guarding elevators, windlasses, cranes
and hosting machinery; devices to
aid security in transportation by land
or sea; safety lamps and explosives,
and numerous devices to prevent acct
dents in the agricultural and other in
dustries.
