Does Dairying Pay

John NJ. Graves, Des L3ca farni-
er, has about concluded that the
farmers of this par. of North Ia
kota, dc not coIduc! the dairying
end of their business along the right
lines. They manage to have their
COWS come fresh in the spring, and
of course have plenty of cream for
butter in the summer when they are
the busiest and when butter is the
cheapest. Mr.. Graves thinks it
would be far better to have the
COWS come fresh from September to
Christmas. and have plenty of rough
feed, such as corn fodder, alfalfa,
bromus, or hay of various kinds, and
iced the cows we'll during the winter
and make them produce a good flow
of milk. when butter is scarce at
IS cents a pound. The farmers have
more time to give this end Of the
business their attention during the
winter months, and in that way they
would be able to make more money
out of the business. Farmers can
milk COWS during the summer if they
want to make slaves of themselves"
Mr.. Graves said, ''but they have to
work from five o'clock in the morn
ing until ten at night if they do so.
You simply cannot get hired men to
DO the milking, and what's more, I
would not have any hired man milk
ing my cows anyway. I expect to
move to Missouri in the fall, and
when I get down there. I intend to
build up herd of dual propose
COWS. There is a good demand for
yearlings there which weigh 1000
pounds, and choice yearlings OF that
kind sell readily for SIS a piece.
There is good money in raising
them. I intend to keep Sk orthorns,
exclusively"

Saved Money

Bismarck, N. D., June 20.
Special to the Independent:
State Treasurer G. L. Bickford was
instrumental in making a change at
the various banks that have been
doing business with the state, that
will save the farmers and others of
the state thousands of dollars a
year. Heretofore, when a farmer
made loan of say four thousand
dollars from the state, the bank kept
out four dollars as exchange. This
was nothing less than a hold up
game and Bickford put his foot
down upon it. Hereafter all war;
rants paid out by the state will go
at par. The state has a million
dollars that it is anxious of loaning
on farm lands, at six per cent. The
loans, Of course have to be safe ones
and for that reason it takes some
little time to get them thru.
