Though the circling flight of time
may find us
Far apart, or severed more and
more,
Yet the farewell always lies behind
us,
And the welcome always lies before
Meanwhile God is leading, surely,
slowly,
Through the shadows with a hand
Of love,
TIC the house where, mid the myr-
lads holy,
Only welcome waits us above.
Mrs. Lewis feelingly responded in
a few choice words of good wishes
and thanks. Dainty refreshments
were served, and the guests individ-
ually wished Mrs. Lewis God-speed.

FOR The FARMER
An Expert Makes Some Good Sug-
gestions Concerning the Rota-
ton Of Crops

At farmers institute, held recent
lv at Meadowlands, st. Louis county
A. j. Mcguire, superintendent of the
state experiment station at Grand
Rapids, asserted that every 4O-acre
tract in that countv could be made
10 yield net annual income of 81,
2S5. Mr.. Cures argument was in
favor of the rotation of crops. What
applies to st. Louis county will doubt
less apply with equal force to any
county in the state, provided the ide
CT rotation of crops is used as a
guide. Here are some of Prof. Nc
Cures practical suggestions:
Mr.. Mcclure said it would be nec-
essary to carry out year after year,
the process of crop rotation, giving
the land over to clover, cultivated
crops and grain crops in succession.
Dairying must be practiced in connec-
tion with the process, and the pro-
ceeds, he says, will be astonishing.
Mr.. Mcclure told the farmers of
Meadowlands just how to manage
the process of crop rotation, and he
used the results of this system
achieved by farmer near Grand Rap
les as basis for the statement that
that every 4O-acre tract in the county
can be made to yield a net income of
at least $1,235.
This farmer kept on his farm, two
horses, eight cows and young stock,
two sows and pigs and so hens. He
grows each year 10 acres of clover,
10 acres of potatoes, 10 acres of oats
and barley. The other 10 acres of
the forty is devoted to buildings, vege-
tables. kitchen garden and roots. He
gets from the 10 acres Of clover 25
tons of hay; from the 10 acres of po-
tatoes, $50 bushels per acre., total
Of 1,500 bushels; from six acreSS of
oats, 40 bushels per acre. a total of
240 bushels; from four acres of bar
ley. 80 bushels per acre, total of 120
bushels; one acre of wheat, 20 BUSH
els; one acre of peas, 20 bushels; one
acre of roots, Is tons.

DAIRY INTERESTS
Association May Be Formed For
Central Minnesota
WOULD BE GOOD THING
Proposition to Hold a Meeting In
Sauk Centre to Start Ddiryman's
Organization

Charles A. Morse, Secretary of the
Farmers Creamery here, recently re-
turned from the Red River Valley
Dairyman's convention at st. Hilaire
and reports big meeting.
1t would seem that all the farmers
and dairymen of Northwestern Min
nesota had turned out, and the gather
ing was great success.
A large and very able corps of in
structors and speakers were furnish
ed by state dairy and food depart
ments of this state, Michigan and
other states; and an experienced and
expert buttermaker who had recently
returned from Denmark, Norway and
Sweden, where he had been sent at
the expense OF associations of this
state to study dairy conditions there,
gave much valuable Information that
will be sure to bring great benefits
to northwestern dairymen who were
fortunate enough to hear him.
The northwestern part of this state
has made greater progress in the
dairy industry than central Mime
sofa, and it is largely due to the
great educational advantages given
the farmer and dairyman on account
of forming and maintaining their as
sociations, whereby they are able to
get the best of dairy Instructors from
State Dairy and Food department
without direct expense to them.
The Red River Valley Dairyman's
Association was organized some years
ago, and includes the territory in
northwestern Minnesota; and the cas-
tern and southern parts of the state
have an organization known as cas-
tern Minnesota Buttermakers ,Associ-
alton and they have big dairy meet
ings, at least once each year, chang
ing the place of holding these meet
ings from one town to the other,
from year to year.
The dairymen of Central Minnesota
are out of reach Of these meetings
and should, by all means, organize an
association of their own; and it might
include dozen or more counties with
Stearns and Todd as about the CEN
tire, and the central Minnesota Dairy
mans association would sound well
and be very appropriate.
1t is suggested that those interest
ed in the proposition of forming such
an association should write to Charles
A. Morse, at Sauk Centre, Mimi, sec
retary of the Sauk Lake Coop.
Creamery Association, also Secretary
of the Minnesota Cooperative Diaries
Association, and if sufficient interest
Is manifested preliminary meeting
would be called with the view of or
ganization and election of officers.
