Stock Raising Neglected.
Stock raising, which has been neg

In these parts has d field that, with
Iproper attention on the part Of TIL
itsrt,eI eIs coasd be naada one of 4is
most lucrative industries Ii the north.
west when considered from d financial
tstandpoint. AT the same time the.
farms would be bought up to the high
est state of prnductiyeness by reason.
/ of the fertilizing. from st tocl raising.
There are many advantages pecu,
Liar to this section and which argue.
Istrongly In favor OF revolution in the
present modes pursued BYE large ma
jority of the farmers throughout this,
section. Under the present manage
ment the soil Of many Of the farms
ARE permitted to deterioate by reason
Of the successive cropping without
any return. Stock raising will not on
| ly prove one Of the greatest soil fer
itilizers but it will open one Of the
most lucrative operations of the farm.
But to enter the stock raising field
the farmer must be educated in tl,is
| line that the best results may accure
| to the one who makes this departure
in an effort to obtain the greatest
results from the soil. ssss,
Stock raising would not only re-.
suit in diversified farming, but it
would insure more regular income in
a year when one crop farming some
times proves a failure. Farmers In
lstitutes are closely identified with the
education OF the farmer along those
lines essential to success.
Favor Stock Raising. 4ass
Another strong argument in favor
Of the farmers turning their attention
to stock raising in connection wits
other lines of farming is the excellent
shipping facilities which are provided
ensuring quick shipment to the best
markets. In the event farmers OF this
section could be induced to turn
portion of their attention to the large
profit paying line OF stock raising In
connection with their other operations
Of the farm Watertown would soon
become one Of the largest stock ship
ping points in the northwest. Many
small places in other states where
more attention is devoted to stock and
greater profits accure by reason OF
this diversion in the old line of con-
1ducting the farm the shipments Of
live stock exceed that Of all others.
Another feature OF stock raising
community is seen in the aggregate
money receipts during q year even
though the crops may prove failure.
Should Cooperate.
It behooyes the citizens OF Water
town to cooperate with any move.
ment which may be brought up
in the interest OF stock raising es.
pecfally from financial stand point

stitate should prove one OF the fact.
