Belfeld. - For several years the
main cry coming from the North Da'
kota agricultural college is diver
sify," and since having a short talk
with Alex. Monty, n Of the many
we'll known bonanza farmers In the
great Belfield county, we are more
fully convinced than ever, that any
man-who knows anything at all
about farming-caa be successful II
he will but add a few mich cows to
his farm stock. Hard times may come,
and hard times may go, but the farm
er who turns a small number of his
acres into pasture for dairy purposes
becomes acquainted with the fact and
not by reading it in the several peri
odicals that come to him through the
mails; his purse is well replenished at
the first Of every month by the pro-
ceeds, from his cows.
MI. Monty is by 40 means a small
farmer-operating in all 800 acres.
To properly farm an acreage Of such
proportion, considerable help is need
ed, and to feed such help substantial
meals must be prepared; capable men
demand good wages and as a rule
want their stipend monthly. All their
expense, besides raising q good sized
family, MI. Monty has. been able to
meet without any extra exertton, with
nothing more than the money he re-
ceived in return for the butter made
from the milk Of ten COWS, besides
always having a little Cow money.
as he calls ito his credit in the
bank.
Last year was poor for the man who
sowed his last acre to grain, and this
spring found many without sufficient
cash to purchase the necessities of
life for themselves and families. How
different it is with men like Mr.. Mon
ty; they are able to hitch up their
drivers and come to town with the in
dependence of a mar who can walk
up to the merchant and say II want
so and so" and have the cash to pay
for it. And The Times would like to
see every farmer in this fertile dis
trict follow the example, and next
year at this time each and every farm
being taken r Of by the bossy COW
A little more work and q great deal

er has prepared plans and specifica-
tions for the splendid new Masonic

ures or the structure.
+ The Grafton Masonic temple will be

les of that city and, will cost about

Elks building in Grand Forks.
In the basement of the structure
will be found the smoking room and
the retiring room for the women, the
banquet hall, 80 by so feet, and the
spacious kitchen, with any number of
cabinets and other arrangements in
tended to make such q place con-
venient.

the lodge rooms principally, and with
the property rooms and council cham
Der adjoining. The main lodge room
will by 80 by SO feet in size. !
The second floor will be arranged
for large parlors, locker rooms, lodge
room and ball room, with balcony.

ALFALFA FAVoRED
oran& Forks Expert Advocatee re
Growth.

Grand Forks.-Two OF three hun
dred Grand Forks County farmers will
work with the North Dakota Better
Farming association this year under
the direction Of o. D. Center. former
head Of the agricultural work in I'LL
nois, who has begun his work here
40 county expert. That number OF
farmers will establish so-called dem
onstration fields, and on those fields,
which will range from one to ten
acres, they will raise alfalfa.
North Dakota can raise alfalfa"
Mr.. Center says, e'and there is no rea-
son why Grand Forks should not be
to the fore in that enterprise"
Corn, too, will be given close at
tention by the farming expert, and he
expects to have several thousand
acres Of corr in various parts of the
county, grown under his direction.
The breeding and production Of corn
on q scale which will make it possible
for Grand Forks not only to supply its
own farmers with seed, but also to
place it In a position ito supply the
OutoANO OOAAAdAOs 40 I0C VOJOCL 0Ou6AS
by the state organization.
Rotation will be taught to the farm
ers on so-called demonstration plats,
of which there will be about eight.
There are four different kinds of soils
in Grand Forks county, and it is the
plan Of the association officials to
have two of the demonstration 1plats
on each of those soils. Farmers sup
plying the ground for those plats are
required to operate the farming on
the plan that will be laid down by the
county expert.
But the association expert will not
confine. his operations to the education
Of the growp-ups alone. He will also
take up the promotion of corn and
potato growing among the boys Of the
county. They will be asked to organ
ize corn growing associations, and
there bids fair to be much interest
in that feature. It is expected that
the association will have some big
corn prizes to give away next fan,
and the prizes will be awarded on the
acre-yield. There Of course will be
prizes for the quality of corn, as well.
but the acre yield department will be
featured strong.

TAFT LEAGUE HEAD CONFIDENT
PRESIDENT WILL EASILY

7. R. IS ALSO CONFIDENT.
On Democratic Side, Clark and vii.
son Are the Favorites-
Peculiarities Of Primary
Law.

democratic national conventions will
be selected at q. statewide primary,
when an opportunity will be given to
each voter also to express a pref.
ren between three republican and
two democratic candidates for the
presidency.
OF the SO delegates to each of the
conventions, eight will be chosen at
large and two from each of the IA
congressional districts.
With the departure of President
Taft and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
from the state. the campaign leaders
gave their attention to figuring up the
net results of the speaking tours.
Both sides were confident that the
final visits Of the candidates meant
more votes. and neither side was will
ing to admit the possibility of any
thing but victory in the primaries.
Rival Tours Unique.
Interest centered during the cam
paign in the fight between President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, whose RI
val speaking tours were unique In the
history Of American politics and did
not cease until voting time was less
than 10 hours away.
Senator La Toilette also is reckoned
as a factor in the contest, in relation
to the preferential vote.
On the democratic side the contest
between Governor Wilson and Speaker
Clark never attained the activities
that marked the Taft and Roosevelt
campaigns. AS no other democratic
candidates have appeared in the field
except Governor Foss. of whom there
has been no concerted movement, the
party vote is expected to fall consid-
erably below that fors the republican
candidates.
At the state election last November.
t421. 692 democrats and republicans
voted. About so per cent of the re.
publicans and 20 per cent of the demo.
Gratis are enrolled for primaries. and
unless they have given previous no.

legiance. But of the 214,897 democrats
who voted for Governor Foss, 36.160
were progressive democrats. and UNI
der a bill which became a law IN last
Saturday, have nc enrolment and may
vote either the republican or demo-
cratic ticket today.
3 The same applies to those who did
not attend the party primaries last
fall, but ii they vote for either Taft
or Roosevelt they will become en-
rolled republicans.
Under the Massachusetts presiden-
tial preferential primary law, the state
may show a preference for Roosevelt
and yet choose pledged Taft delegates.
