Tho ST.. Cloud Times IS saying many
nice things about Woodrow Wilson,
ana we have no objection. On the
contrary. We don see, however the
good Of jumping on certain gentle
man from Nebraska. who, whatever
people may think or say. still has a
right smart lot of friends in this
country, and LIT of 'em right here in
the Sixth district. Bryan is exercising
the privilege, which every other dem
ocrat shares with him, of expressing
his opinion about candidates and mea-
sures. We feel that it is not only right
TO do 81. but 1t is his duty, and he
would be derelict to the confidence
millions have in him it he did not
point out matters as he sees them.
We are perfectly frank in saying, and
knowing the democrats of Morrison
county pretty we'll, think we are safe
in saying that they, as we'll as we.
will feel much more friendly toward
candidates for delegate to the national
convention who respect and feel
friendly toward Bryan, than to those
who abuse him. Inis MEANS that the
democrats of this county have no
apologies to offer for believing in the
principles of democracy as expounded
hy the greatest living democrat. and
also that they believe it will be a fine
thing tor whoever is nominted for the
presidency to have the support of the
man from Nebraska, and that it would
be an extremely serious thing if he
did not.

START our RIGHT.

Farming is now considered as a
business. To be successful as bust
ness man, tho farmer must adopt bust
ness principles He should know the
cost of production OF the various farm
products, and which products can be
grown and sold at the greatest net pro-
tit and with the least draft on the re-
sources Of his farm. He should know
what he has invested in his business,
and the rate of interest his Investment
is paying; also whether he himself
is earning anything, or whether
his income is earned altogether by
his money. If the latter, he may as
we'll invest his money in 6 per cent
mortgages and take it easy himself.
The only way to learn these facts is
to take an inventory of the farm and
equipment; start a simple accounting

The average farmer has: but lttle
idea, we are convinced, &c tie wide
difference there IT, in cows q In the
systems Of management, says ,Hoarda
Dairyman. Wherever We have taken
sow censuses the farmers were great,
" surprised at the difference il results
as between different herds. That
shows that to the mind Of the average
farmer the yield per cow Or per head
is, as he supposes, about the same
Yet it Is quite common to find zone
herd making double or more than dou.
BILE the clear profit that one may be
on an adjoining farm. ~. -.
Even on experiment station farms
where everything is. supposed to be
done scientifically, they demonstrate a
wonderful difference in cows. 81:
The Minnesota station found cows in
Its herd which returned $55.A, while
alongside Of them other cows returned
only $8.19 after deducting the cost Of
feed. which was the same in each case
The Michigan station found it's cows
varied from 1913 to $94.05 after the
feed cost was reckoned. The New
Jersey station shows that, calling milk
worth 81 per hundredweight.> it's cows
varied from 13 cents profit to $49.72
The Connecticut station figures show q
difference as between the poorest and
the best cows Of $2.76 to $54.72.
Now, there are thousands of farmers
who are keeping these low paying cows
and don't know it. Something Is the
matter, but they don't know what
They know that they are getting
mighty little out of their cows.
We can see by this how necessary II
Is to have an inquiring mind. The
right. kind of farmer will not sit
down under such conditions. He will!
set to work to change them, and the
first thing he will do will be to buy q
registered bull of some breeder he can
trust. That right sort of spirit has
changed whole counties in Wisconsin
over from farmers whose cows aver
aged 40 pounds of butter per cow per
year to an average for the whole coun;
ty of $50 pounds per cow. 800 -. =. .%F'
But the minds Of these farmers were
stirred by dairy reading and thinking
before the change was made. A hun:
bred pounds more of butter year per
cow make big difference in the: for
