IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

There are thousands more live
stock in the state now than there were
a few years ago. said j, H. Reed, the
we'll known farmer of Armenia, this
state, who was a guest at the Waldorf
hotel yesterday and again today, and
who was n of the grain judges at the
Lisbon corn festival of last week.
With all the increase in live stock"
said he, North Dakota is raising thou
sands of tons more feed than "a pos

and there will be great heaps of it go
to waste.
Il have raised 5000 acres of good
corn On my farms and haven't enough
cattle to feed it to, and the same state

farmers are year after Year getting
more cattle and other live stock and in
time will be well supplied. But let
noe tell you this-it takes a good deal
of work to get a farm ready for live
stock raising and the farmer cannot
change his farm from a wheat farm TO
a cattle farm lust in a day or two or
in a season or two. He must be pre-

and fences and there are requirements
all of which must be met before he can

There is a knack in getting the
right kind of live stock, the kind that
will grow and thrive and all this takes

said before there are more cattle and
sheep n hogs by the thousands than
there were just a few years ago. Te
my mind the farmers have got to come
TO live stock raising if they want Il
succeed. There are more dairy cows III

COW was considered the average on

that. The farmers know that to raise

working the whole year round ant
many of them do not care to do this
but they will have to come to 1t will
