and their adaptibility in different
parts of the state.

to the instruction in dairying. Such
problems as the construction of cheap
ly built but sanitary and modern
dairy buildings, the selection of good
dairy stock, the building up of dairy
herds, feeding, the care of milk and
it's products.
For the advantage of those now
engaged in poultry business, or desir-
ing to engage in it either large or
small way, two weeks course III
poultry raising will be given, COM
mencing February 27. Such vital
problems will be taken up, as the con-
suction of buildings, "egg making
feeds, for warm and cold weather, the
care of young chickens, how to run
incubators, how to tell the difference
between coed and poor layers, develop
ment OF egg producing, or meat-pro-
ducing "strains," and many other
practical subjects will be discussed.

Within ten years farm prod
ucts have greatly advanced in
market value while the price of
woven wire fence has been re-
duced. These are the reasons:
Newer and improved methods
of digging the ore, shipping to
the furnaces, melting into steel
and making into finished prod
ucts are in force. Ten years
ago operations were on a small
scale. Today the plan of oper-
alton is vast. The manufac-
turer is able to deliver the fin
ished goods quickly, of better
quality and at a lower price.

Price Low-Quality Better Than Ever

American fence is made bet
ter than ever. 1t is a thorough
ly galvanized square mesh fence
of weight, strength and dura-
bility. Large wires are used
and the whole fabric is woven
together with the American
hinged joint (patented)-the
most substantial and flexible
union possible. Both wires are
positively locked and firmly held
against side slip and yet are free
to act like a hinge in yielding
to pressure, returning quickly
to place without bending or
injuring the metal.

ADDRESS Ant WILLlMAR

Prof. A. A. Stomherg. Of the
Scandinavian Department of the
state university, delivered very
able address on the subject of
Swedish history and literature be-
fore the Willmar Swedish Literary
Society last Monday evening. He
recited many Of the interesting
facts which have come to light re-
Gently by the labors Of antiquarians
in regard to the early history Of the
Scandinavian people. At the close
Of his historical review. he spoke
Of the literature of the north. The
Scandinavians have a literature
which compares very favorablv
with the German. both in quality
and quantity. while the relative
number Of inhabitants of the coun-
tries is only one to six. At the
close he reviewed the progress that
is being made in introducing Swed-
ish and Norwegian in the schools Of
the Northwest. After good deal
IF agitation by some Is different
Scandinavian societies of Minnea-
polls. the Board Of Education Of
that city added the Scandinavian
languages to the studies a year ago.
There are now over two hundred
High Schoo! students who are TAX
ing either Swedish or Norwegian at
Minneapolis, and interest is grow
ing steadily At Cokato out of a
freshman class Of thirty in the
High School, twenty elected to take
Swedish as a part of their course.
Eau Claire, Wis, has decided to
add Scandinavian to the studies in
it's public schools. Red Wing and
Saltwater are considering it.
After the program a lunch was
served and a social time was had.
The Swedish Literary Society is an
entirely independent society of local
people organized solely for the pur-
pose of keeping up interest in the
language and culture Of Sweden
among the people Of Swedish de-
scent in this community. 1t fur
nishes a neutral ground where all
Swedish people regardless of church,
creed or other divisions may unite
in boosting those things connected
with their common heritage from
the old fatherland that will contrib
ute tow ards keeping alive those
|straits Of charao otersoff +the Swedish
people for which they are noted.
