BIG MONEY
IN RAISING
LIVE STOCK
After Getting Started on "Year's
Time" Proposition, Thomas Skinner
of FIaxton, Makes Good, and DEM
onstrates That the Farm Can
Raise Something Besides Wheat.

Flaxton, N. D., Dec. 8-That there
is money to be made in stock raising
is amply demonstrated in the results
obtained by Thomas Skinner. Last
fall he purchased three heifers and
two calves at total purchase price
Of $7275. He made the purchase on
years time, paying interest at 10
per cent, making an additional cost
of SIPS. During the winter months
he fed them on good oats, straw and
rutabagas and during the summer
they fed in the pasture. The total
cost of the feed for the year was
$780, making a total investment of
$3.50.
This fall, year later, he sold the
three heifers for $500 each and the
two calves at S15.44, a total of $106.
The heifers raised him three calves
which he sold for $3.50, and he made
butter which averaged him $1.00 per
month for ten months, a grand total
of $780, This latter sum minus
the total investment netted him pro-
fit of $65 on an investment of $3.50

DAIRYING IN

Minot, N. D., Dec 8-Two car
loads of cattle consisting of fifty-seven
milch cows, thoroughbred bulls and
heifers, purchased in Wisconsin by
Maj. E. S. Person and J. E. Elsberry
arrived in Minot Saturday over the
500 line.
The lot consists of twenty-three
Holstein heifers, two full blooded reg
istered Guernsey bulls and twenty-sev-
en- grade Guernsey mich COWS. The
stock comes from Whitewater, Wis,
where the farmers have grown veal
thy through their high grade dairying
interests. Land in that section of the
country is selling for SITS per acre
and in many instances it does not COM
pare with North Dakota land which is
now selling for $35 and less per acre
The COWS cost on an average of
about $65 while the heifers cost from
$25 to $35.

bankers, who have consulted with the

the large Minneapolis banks state that
their deposits from North Dakota have
increased $2,37O,OOO in the past three
months, and that during that time
loans to North Dakota banks have de-
creased 1905 600. Deposits increased
1876 per cent and Indebtedness de-
creased 76 per cent.
Good crops over practically the en-.
tire state and high prices realized for
what was raised, bankers say, have
been responsible for the marked
change in the situation, and bankers
in Chicago and elsewhere, who have
had access to figures, are quoted as
saying that the showing is one
of the most impressive they have ev
