A number of men were one evening
sitting around the stove In a country
store talking about the rapid growth
of certain western towns. Among
them was an old man of the name Of
Nelson. who was commonly called
'the boomer" since he had made sew
eral fortunes booming towns. Being
called upon to narrate some of his ex-
periences. he told the following story:
One of the towns / doomed | called
after myself-Neilson. 1t was on the
line of projected railroad that was
to cross another projected railroad
bought all the property at this cross
ing that had been staked out by the
chief engineers Of the two roads and
started my town.
The trouble with new towns is that
they are composed almost exclusively
of men. For awhile Nelson was the
worst place on the face of the earth.
1t was full of gambling shanties, and
I couldn't get the men to work be-
cause they preferred to gamble. l
got them together on several occa-
sions, telling them what a bright pros
pect we had before us If they would
only be respectable. but that settlers
wouldn't come In so long as they
made the place uninviting. This
would sober them for awhile, but it
wasn't long before they would drop
back to their former condition.
My right hand man was a Swede
named Olaf Hendrickson. / was talk
ing with him lugubriously one day
about the immortality of the town
when he said to me:
mr. Nelson, you can never make
a community of men respectable with
out fair proportion Of the opposite
sex. Women are essential to men just
as men are to women, and children are
essential to both. My advice to you is

WITH THE LIVESTOCK

Are the stalls, stables, sheep and
hog pens in readiness for their long
winter occupancy? It is better to
see to this work in the cool, pleasant
days than to leave it till the shelters
are needed
Keep a record of every COW, every
day, with pencil and paper and scales.
1t only takes a minute, and will pay
you, big.
Keep the stables dry and clean. No
animal can thrive if compelled to
stand and sleep on a reeking bed of
manure.
Early maturity is the keynote in
successful pig handling.
Put boss pig by himself. Allow no
robbing-it doesn't pay.
Let the hogs turn all the "windfall
apples into high-priced pork.
Feed just enough-have the pigs
bed clean and comfortable so he will
lie down and sleep, and put on fat.
See that the colts do not loose flesh
on short or frost-bitten pastures.
No matter how good horse is in
its early life, its usefulness is cut
short if it is not properly cared for.
This is a serious loss.
II you are feeding clover, remember
to cut down the bulk. This is hear

it as you can of timothy without do

there are little places where We can

Place the pullets in their winter

Place china egg in each nest so as

This month Alphabetical pullets

When the crop becomes very large,

and one half weeks Of the football
season past. gloom still pervades the
Fargo college football camp and. al
though hope is still held out that
some of the old men will appear this
week to go out for practice, things
look exceedingly dark.
Lack Of material is the keynote at
the college on the hill. Coach Wat
kins said last night that he intended
to work the men hard this week and
that scrimmage and real football
would replace the rudiments Of the
game, which have held the attention
Of candidates thus far. The line is
developing in good shape, but the
backfield is causing the trouble. The
men are green, many of them being
new at anything but the line. There
are only about sixteen men who ap-
pear for practice each night. The
date of Oct. z. which has been open
for some time, will probably be filled
soon and Wahpeton Science school
will probably be the team played on
that date.
