which have modern conveniences in
the shape of toilets, sewerage, and
water mains, and from this we'll
water is piped and distributed thru
certain buildings on the chicken
ranch. The buildings themselves
are painted in light colors and make
an attractive sight in the prairie hor-
izon. The buildings are of the most
substantial and durable character.
Exhibits from the Johnston dairy
herd are being made at various fairs
around the country, at Winnipeg,
twin cities, Fargo and other points;
and likewise chicken exhibits are to
be made at the fall fairs. The work
of the Johnston farm is progressive,
and no visitor or farmer can fail to
see the advantages of the latest I'M
provements used in the handling
stock, raising of field crops, poultry,
and in dairying. They are object
lessons and ought to mean great
deal to farmers who have the priv
ilege of knowing about them, or,
what is better still, visiting the farm
and seeing the work and the meth
ods in operation for themselves.
Great Chicken Factory
BY far the most interesting fea-
ture of the farm work, to the aver
age visitor, as we'll as to the farmer,
the farmers wife and children, IS
the big chicken ranch. Seventy
five acres of ground are used for the
various purposes of poultry raising
on the Johnston farms. The build
ings are specially constructed for
chicken raising. They consist OF
hen houses of the latest improved,

names are household words to thous-
ands of prosperous settlers of Min
nesota and the Dakotas, who have
purchased land from the company
and had dealings with them.
Stock Kept on Farms
In addition to the dairy stock and
the big work going on at the farms,
there are kept large number of
Shropshire sheep, as well as Birk-
shire hogs. This spring about L.
200 young pigs were born on the
farm, and grain fed pork will be a.
mong the dslicacies sold by the
Johnston Co. this fall.
A large acreage OF the farms is
devoted to the raising of feed, such
as barley, alfalfa, field peas, oats
and rye, together with some millet
and corn. Two gasoline traction en-
gines are used in plowing. The
farm buildings are lighted with cleo

nished by a large gasoline engine
which also provides power for grind
ing chicken feed and stock feed.
Among the other buildings on the
farm is a large boarding house for
the men and several horse barns and
cottages. The work stock are splen-'
did animals; a big Percheron stallion
weighing 1900 pounds is among the
valuable stock kept on the farm.
There is a big hog house, and
blacksmith shop, and amongst the
other features Of the farm personnel
is base ball club, known as the
Johnston farm nine, which plays
good enough ball to clean up the
mines of the neighboring towns ev-
cry once in while. A large artes-
ian we'll, drilled to depth of HOO

farm is to be found. Each of the two
immense barns is constructed in the
form of cross with three silos for
each barn. The interior of each
is a model for dairy barn. The
COWS are assigned at milking time
to a stall and each COW is secured by
stanchion; the floor Of the barn is
kept clean, the barn itself in every
particular is a model of neatness and
cleanliness. In the creamery
thousand pounds of butter week
are made from the milk of the John
ston herd. This butter Is sold to
the high class hotels and restaurants
in the twin cities and other parts OF
the northwest, and much of it is
shipped to Spokane. This butter
: brings better price than the ord1n-
ary run. of creamery butter. The
cattle are ali tested for tuberculosis
and no more beautiful, complacent

GUS quantities of milk. can be found
in any place in the country. The
Johnston farming company also have
another large dairy farm near Bear
Lake, MINI.
Field Crops and Land
In the Johnston farms near Mar
ion are some 10000 acres of land
and this divided up into farms
operated under the immediate direc-
tion of the company and also into
smaller farms of half a section each,
rented to tenants. Each of the
smaller farms has good buildings,
q two story house, barn. granary
and other buildings and it is the In
tention Of the Johnston company to
put into practical operation on these
subsidiary farms, the latest improv-
ed methods OF agriculture. Grad
