Good Profits in Cattle.

GOOD FRONTS IN Cattle. Il
James Phillips came to his present
home four years ago and is making
the most Of the situation. He had
serious losses from the prairie fire
last spring and was hailed out in the
summer but his cattle are making
up for the losses thus sustained and
going a little ahead, 50 Mr.. Phillips
says that he can find no justifable
excuse for complaint That it is true !.
that his losses were heavy but that .
he will come out ahead anyway and
that If he can do that well under /
unfavorable circumstances that when !
the wheel of fortune turns the good
side to him he will be away ahead. ]
Two-year-old steers netted him $50
on the South ST. Paul market and he
has sold $3.50 worth of cream since
last March, and his cattle and other
stock are gaining constantly and he
has never had better grass. His
farm is being rapidly improved and
! is growing in value as population in
creases and all in all he is doing we'll.
This applies to thousands Of other
farmers in this great country.
/ Next comes E. G. Fogarty, who is
getting one of the best improved
! places of the neighborheod. The
most noticeable feature of this place
at first glance is the general appear
!, ance, thrift and care around the
! house and barn. Mr.. Fogarty has
!, depended heretofore mainly on live
stock but now is. beginning to diver
j, sify. .'<5 .-''.1
The planting of tires on this place
is being well done and then the Gull
tivation following is bring results
that should bring blush to the
face of many who love trees but have
: not taken pains enough to learn how
to grow them.
There was a wind break of $50
: laurel leafed willows planted in two
rows across the north side of the
lot fenced for the lawn and garden.
3 On the west side there are 400 golden
3 willows and a hedge of Russian OIL
T ives. Then the trees Of larger ma
3 are growing rapidly and appear to be
! in healthy condition. But the ones
showing the most growth are said
q to be the Russian poplar, which
s show q growth Of four or five feet
e this season. The tree planting on
n this farm, previously was not en-
y couraging as SO many of the trees
died, but the nursery replaced these
8 and purchase of a much larger
= number Of others, and now that the
d trees are well started and growing
d rapidly Mr.. Fogarty and his good
+ wife are greatly encouraged. These
trees are cultivated with as much
care as is usually bestowed on q
! garden and are showing the results
!. of such cultivation The vegetable
! and flower gardens respond equally
well with the other things cultivated
and there are many small fruits tc
!. be seen here. '7ss r. @ii5&3f II

but like many another young wife

~ her "a great farmer.' But she ha.
65 turkeys, fine, kept garden and {

a bravery and self denial of these no
