than grain farms. The average income

In this weeks letter to the state
publicity bureau at Grand Forks,
the North Dakota Better Farming as
ISOLATION touches upon some vital
points in the development Of the
states agricultural resources and
urges attention to Investigation Ct
crops and introduction on more ex-
tensive scale Of live stock. At the
Grand Forns headquarters recently,
Thomas Cooper, general manager Of
the association, put special emphasis
upon these important features. lie
said:
"The promising crop this year may
encourage many to trust to grain pro-
duction for the future, rather than to
cnaoge their methods of farming so as
to make use of other crops and to pro.
duce animal products. Changes in me

deposited the money but failed to send
a receipt and when he arrived at bal
ancing his books he had too much mon
ey, so he drew check for himself fol
the amount he was over. The matter
was taken up with Bickford in May

''You see,'' he explains, "the ex.

Horses, when they are taken on long
campaigns, and are placed in box stalls
day after day, away from their usual
Surroundings, become lonesome, so
horsemen often place goats in their
stalls. Goats and horses are great
