Dairy Pointers.

The United States dairy division is
working in cooperation with the state
dairy commissioners to encourage the
dairy interests of North Dakota. For
the present the work will be centered in
Walsh and Pembina counties with head
quarters at Grafton.
Any farmer IN these localities desiring
aid from the dairy expert will confer
with him and he willgladly render every
assistance possible.
During the summer months they ex.
pect to visit the farmers and advise them
on the construction of dairy barns, milk
houses, and silos, the selection of dairy
COWS, and pure bred sires; to assist in
keeping records of the individual and
herd performance, in order that the
farmer can determine which are his pro-
itable and Improbable COWS.
Information will be given in the mat
ter of feeds for milk production; how to
grow them, and how to feed balanced
ration to secure the most profitable re-
suits.
This is an opportunity for our farmers
who are interested in dairying or expect
to be, to get started right and avoid the
mistakes that are often made by men
just entering this. line of intensive
farming. Il
a A card addressed to Fred w. Merrill
p. o. Box 1872, Grafton, N. D. will bring
him to your farm and enable you to get
any assistance along dairy lines you may
desire.

Dad Day.

Editors Pioneer Express.
Allow me to call the attention of your
readers to the fact that next Sunday
June 18th has been designated as
Fathers day." and red rose to be worn
for the living and white one for the
dead. All loyal people observe Mothers
day and also Childrens day, but it is
very seldom old dad gets look in.
Over the parlor door of many a home is
the motto What is home without Il
mother" but what is che matter with
dad, it is true that when Mary delivers
the graduation address, or Tommy cuts
his toe the mother is the one that makes
the most fuss, old dad does not say much
but his feelings are there just the same
and he is not one wit less proud of Mary
or sorry for Tom. Old dad Is the one
that gets up in the morning and lights
the fire and boils the eggs while many a
mother is sleeping off the last nights
effects of the bridge party or some other
function; he makes the weekly hand
out to the butcher. grocer and baker,
and his pile is badely smashed before he
is home an hour. If there is noise in
the night dad is kicked out and made to
go and investigate Mother darns the
socks, but dad bought them in the first
place and they cost like the mischief,
likewise the sugar and fruit. Dad sup
plies the Sunday dinner, carves it him
self and when every one else is served
draws the bone for his share. Yes,
mother is all right; if she happens to be
i'll the vacant place at the table looks
like grave yard, but dad here's to you,
every day some little tot is asking where
is dad? he may swat them for some mis-
chief, but you are all right and we will
miss you when you are gone. j. F. G.

all of the comments that have come

principal in this city and his many

which he will assume at the beginning

The new position carries with it a
handsome incl ease of salary
Last week someone maliciously alb
stracted eight sacks of Perfection
flour from J. w. Warren. The -four
was stored in a small shed in the yard
and Mr.. Warren thinks that it was
taken either Wednesday or Thursday
night. The shed was locked with a
large paddock, but this was Wrenched
off. The theft was a bold one, as the
thieves must have had a wagon to
carry off that amount of flour. Mr..
Warren says hat if he had known
there was anyone in need of flour he
would have gladly given it to them,
but the stealing of it has kind of got,
ten on his nerves and he offers a re-
ward of twenty-five dollars for any
information hat will lead to the ap
