INSTITUTE HELD

used to travel through the country
in my youth and lecture at the school
houses and invariably their advice was
"be good and study hard and you will
not have to be farmers. Why" he
continued, ito be a good farmer re-
quires more skill than to be doctor,
lawyer or any other professional man.
The doctor has spent thousands of
years Studying the human body and
there is. still much that he does not
know about it. While on the farm are
numerous animals and insects each
nearly as complicated in their struc-
ture as the human body and the farm
er must know all about these"
-. Miss Barrow's Lecture.
A large crowd Of women took ad-
vantage of Miss Barrow's lecture and
demonstration offered preparation on
Wednesday afternoon in the court
room.
In brief, Miss Barrows explained
that we suffer today not from the high
cost of living but from the cost of
high living. In primitive times man
was satisfied to take whatever eata-
BILE thing there was at hand but with
the advance of civilization food pro-
ducts were brought to him from all
over the world and now he may have
any food delicacy at any time wheth-
er the fruit or vegetable or whatever
1t is, is In season or not. But he DAYS
big price for it whereas he might
have had seasonable article, contain
ing as much, If not more, nutrition,
for one-half the price. Money is paid
out for flavor rather than nutrition.
For example, there is as much nutri-
ton in q quart Of milk as In quart of
oysters, but big difference in the
cost, the milk being ten cents and the
oysters fifty. Similarly one pound Of
cheese contains as much nutrition as
a pound Of meat, while not being near
as expensive. :e-
Isss Miss Barrows has a few recipes
which by combination and little touch
es are converted into many dishes, in
fa way somewhat as dressmaker may
have one simple shirt. waist pattern
which she may use as b foundation for
many different styles tof waists. addi:
tiona1 frills and trimmings, distin-
gushing one. from another so that a
chance observer would never suspect
they were made from the same pat
tern. 3 - - :,.Sss'. -. 2
While Miss Barrows talked in an in
formal, entertaining manner she pre-
pared on the gasoline stove near her,
some dainty but inexpensive articles
which were served in an attractive
manner, the audience all being invited
to taste and discuss the foods. They
were pronounced most delicious and
completely assured the ladies that
Miss Barrows understood what she
was talking about and that she could
put her theory into practice and could
show them how to combine the cheap
er and wholesome foods into delicacies
rivaling the most costly. The same
speaker will lecture again to the wom-
en- this afternoon beginning at 2 o.
clock in the court room.

We feel it a duty and pleasure to
say few words to you. Having been
In the meat market business all our
lives and profited by our experience we
have some knowledge of the best
grades of cattle for all purposes. We
find Durham cattle one Of the very
best all round types, a very hardy,
thrifty breed and when graded makes
a fine general purpose animal. There
are other good breeds but we do not
find the size Of the COW that makes the
best calves, and after thoro milking
natures to good beef In them as In the
Short Horn or Pole Durhams. Such
stock as Fred Baker has imported has
filed the country with q type OF beef
that we can readily ship. AS we go
through the country on the lookout
for marketable beef this large fine type
tempts us and we want to buy. Mr..
J. s.. Kirk has demonstrated to you
the past two years Of Christmas trade
in our shop that no finer beef can be
produced than right here. Mr.. j. B..

year-old beef for the 4th Of July trade
weighing 1850 pounds each. We have
had some white faced cattle from Col.
Creel that we're a. credit to the coun-
try. We must confess to you farmers
that our North Dakota hay and prairie.
fed stock can discount Wisconsin corn:
and barley stall fed stock. i. m -. ! =
The past years experience has
made a great many OF you wonder If
sheep would not help out, some and
not cost SO much. There is no better
money than raising sheep and lambs
and the country: is best adapted to
such an industry. Mutton and lambs
sell: at market and above It at all
times. Gentlemen, your future success
depends upon your stock raising. To
diversity you must raise stock and to
fertilize you must raise stock Good
stock Is much more prof and
more satisfactory than ANY old kind
$ When raising stock do not forget the
