in any other branch of agriculture. The
demonstration of this may be seen in the
fact that the dairy farmers are the most
prosperous the world over, whether in Min
nesota, Vermont or Denmark.
In this section of the state where the
acres under cultivation must necessarily
be few, what crops are grown should be
made the best possible use of, and that is
in feeding. Feeding on the farm, and sell
ing finished product, and butter is the
highest finished product of the farm The

DAIRYING IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA.

North central Minnesota, through the per-

To indicate the value of the dairy pro-
ducts of this portion of the state, The

other eastern centers of Importance, thus
securing the highest market price for every
pound of butter that is shipped.
In a certain town of this section of the
state located in a community where the
farmers have gone into dairying, the bank
paid out over 100000 for cream checks;
over 100000 a month during 1907. In
this same town five years ago, before the
farmers had creamery, and made bust

place of grain to large extent in feeding
live stock in the winter, and their food
value in comparison with high priced grain
makes them a valuable crop.
There are two very good reasons for
advocating dairying in a country SO favor

nesota The dairy COW is the most pro-
ductive of all farm animals, and in dairying

edition of The Pioneer, to the abundance
and nutriment of the tame and wild grasses
which thrive in this portion OF Minnesota,
in order that may convince the pros
pective dairyman and stockraiser of the
possibilities open to him as to these two
industries
The following official excerpts denote the
availability of this portion of the state as
a dairyng and stockraising CENTER and ap-
pended will be found official reports from
the state immigration office. They offer
food for reflection to the prospective home
seeker.
From A. J. Mcclure, superintendent OF
the Northeast Experimental farm at Grand
Rapids. and who is a recognized authority
on dairying. we have the following:
The state Legislature Of 1895 passed
bill providing for a dairying experiment
station for Northeastern Minnesota. Grand
Rapids was chosen for the location. A
Minneapo1s firm in sympathy with the
movement later donated so acres, making
455 acres in all.
THE Experiment Farm was opened dur
ing the spring of 1896 under supervision of
Warren w. Pendergast, a graduate of the
school and college of agriculture of the
University of Minnesota. The state
established the Experiment Farm in order
TO determine the dairying possibilities of
farming that would be practical and most
profitable under the natural conditions
peculiar to Northeastern Minnesota.
"The strongest endorsement of the agri-
cultural merits Of the county is in the
growth of clover. This wonderful plant, so
difficult to grow in some sections OF the
state, finds a native habtation in North
central Minnesota, and especially Beltraml
county, and yields as high as four tons
I, OF cJnO
A twelve acre field on the Experiment
Farm that had only its natural fertility,
having never been MANFRED, yielded 81
tons Of cured hay per acre in cutting IN
1906, and the following year 190O, 1865
tons per acre. When it is considered that
two tons of hay per acre is considered
large yield, the possible prodigality OF
milk and butter production is indeed won
derful
THE great value of clover is not so much
in its production of feed as in its effect
uDOn the soil. Glover leaves the soil richer,
having the power to draw an element OF
fertility (nitrogen) from the air, and leaves
it in the soil stored in it's abundant roots.
But this is another story. With the ex-
ception of corn safely maturing, every crop
that is essential to successful dairying and
farming has been grown on the Experiment
Farm with good results. While corn as yet
may not be grown successfully for grain,
it produces excellent fodder and for this
purpose from ten to fifteen acres is grown
on the Experiment Farm every year. 1t
is used for both fodder and ensilage, yield
ing from to tons per acre of cured fod-
der, and from 10 to IS tons per acre of en-
siage.
GAIL kinds of root crops find the soil and
climatic conditions of Northeastern Min
nesota especially favorable to their growth.
Potatoes is the great mOney-making crop

Poets Eorqetfulness.

Mr.. Arthur Coleridge, speaking at
the summer festival Of the College for
Working Women. at which the bishop
of London presided. related that the
poet Coleridge once journeyed from
Highgate to Holborn to visit nephew,
Sir William H. Coleridge. It was very
cold weather. and the poet had on
double.breated waistcoat which met
lust below his neck. 1t was discovered
that he had got no shirt. His nephew
demonstrated with him. to which the
poet replied: I'm very sorry. VIII
liam. very sorry; but I've forgotten
my shirt" Upon this Sir William
kindly lent his uncle a shirt, and,
said the speaker, II regret to say that
very necessary garment was never re-
turned to It's original owner"
