Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-09-17

[ul nelgnDor and an honorable citi-
zen. At that time far more was un-
known about farming and other in
terests OF that community, save stock
then were known, and men
like Mr.. Riley and others had much
experime nting to do before they
knew what was best to do or what
could be done. And these people
have built up commonwealth that
appeals strongly to the thinking man.
Yet these people have just commenc-
ed to learn what the country is cap
able of doing and, also, yet to learn
many lessons in the best way to get
these results so much desired. u
One, of the lessons that Mr.. Riley
has learned is that it is not safe to
let diseased stock go to the straw
stacks and scatter the germs of dis
ease and pest life and then let heal
thy stock run, to these spots of con- |
tagion and vermin. But if lice OF
other vermin get on the livestock,
use a solution of kerosene, lard and
salt, and burn the old straw stacks.
This lesson was learned by bitter ex-
perience in which infected stock from
some other place came to Mr.. sRiley's
and after the death of his own ami
mails this lesson was learned. But
now that life is. becoming more toll
cradle and prosperity is constant
companion the next thing to do is to
build a good barn and improve the
quality of the stock, and this Mr..
Riley is doing successfully. 25
# Likes the Tribune.
/ About four years ago K. A. Frs
land sent an order to have the Trib-
une mailed to him at his home in
Iowa. A little later he made a trip
to the Drisco1l neighborhood and was
well enough pleased to make it his
home. Since living in the state three
years and studying the situation he
has concluded that he made no mis-
take. He still reads the Tribune and
says that he likes it better and bet
ter all the time and asks that I'M
der Farm and Ranch Notes" that
more of dry farming methods be ex-
planned. (This will be gladly done
4 Mr.. Ersland thinks that the real
profits in farming for the North Da-
! kota husbandman have not yet been
realized and that with methods of
Improved culture there is an I'M
dreamed of future before this coun
try. But he urges that methods suit
ed to conditions here must be fol.
lowed whether they accord with pre-
conceived ideas or not.
H. A. No1tsmeier likes the country
better now than ever and thinks tina,
with mixed farming and that upor
correct methods suited to the sol
and climate and the milking OF the
COW that the country will become
more prosperous year by year and
that If there is gain in year like
this that with favorable year the
profits must be large. -! =.
A Good Business Manager.
c. T. Hale located on section 80
? 1875 about six years ago. Mr.. Hale
is steam engineer and works at his
calling much: of the time and Mrs
Hale manages the farm, and success
fully too, as under this management
fifty-two acres were in crop this yeal
and the crops are about the best ir
!, the neighborhhod, and at first there
was but one COW On the place and
now they have eight and have solo
cow and two calves. This increase
is gained by the natural increase
and by the practice of fattening the
steer calves for veal and then tradins
them for two heifer calves. Here Ii
a strong friend to the COW and the
creamery and strong advocate Of
the value of good, hard work vel
applied to the direct object in view
On this farm the chickens and garden
, largely keep the table and allow Z
little besides for an emergency.

: J. A. Garrison owns a quarter sec

aged with hail this year and as thi.

that when luck turns he will be al
