for the damage done in the wreck near Sha-
ron, N D., where six persons lost their lives,
and where immense damage was done to Ct.
Northern property A hollow rail caused the
wreck. Something evidently was wrong with
the manner in which this rail was manufac-
tured. The Gary concern had big contract
and no doubt made as much money as pos
sible out Of it. Perhaps too little time was
taken in moulding the steel for the rails.
What's the difference? Human life is cheap
and more rails are bein manufactured daily.
The Glenburn merchants sell now on cash
basis. Merchants of other towns are rapidly
falling into line. They say that they can sell
their goods cheaper for cash, the fellow who
pays does not have to pay the bills on those
who do not, and that if one has to pay cash
for what he buys, he Can usually scratch
around and get it It's a fact that when one
pays cash, he lives cheaper. If he has just
so much to spend, he will be more economical
To the farmer who is diversfying it will not
mean much to place him on cash paying
basis. The plan that the Glenburn merchants
have adopted will force the farmers who are
not diversifying, to do so at an early date.
The Cando Herald announces that it will
take a neutral stand in the coming primary
election, will accept announcements, ETC., at
stipulated price but candidates must not ex-
pect him to make his preferences known. The
paper will remain a republican organ and will
probably support the nominees of that party
If paper can ever be of any use, it is prior
to primary election A publisher who does
not take off his coat and fight for the men he
considers is best for the various Offices, shows
an abominable weakness that is akin to cow
ardce. We admire good fighter.
If there was more push in the world there
would be fewer hungr7, half clothed, home
less children; fewer broken down dissipated
men and women; less need of alms-houses,
housesof correction and homes for the friend
less. Push means lift for yourself out Of
out of trouble, real and fancied Push never
hurts anybody. The harder the push the
better if it is given in the right direction.
Always push up hill-few people need 4 push
down hill '- 81

MIXED FARMING PAYS

courage diversified farming IN North Dakota,
for by that method, and that method only, we
hope to see this state prosper. The indica-
tons for mixed farming were never so glow
ing before Next year will see new converts
who will never backside. A year ago, we
asked Alfred Stredwick, a Logan farmer,
whom we knew had been diversifying for
years, to keep correct record OF the prod
ucts which he sold from his farm, exclusive
of grain. Mr.. Stredwick handed US slip of
paper this week, showing that in the year
l91l, he sold $1792 IS worth of butter, eggs,
He didn't sell any grain, excepting ten BUSH
els of seed flax. He has 500 bushels of oats,
800 bushels of wheat, $50 bushels of flax and
about hundred tons of millet hay on the
farm yet He did not sell any horses last
year. but number of fine colts were added
to his bunch of blooded horses, he now having
seven fine young horses ready for the mar
ket Mr.. Stredwick markets very little grain.
He prefers to feed it to his stock. His land is
kept in the highest state of cultivation and he
always has some ready money. The following
figures showing just what he sold last year,
will prove good reading:
One hundred hens laid $11245 worth of
eggs, sold at the following figures: The mort
gage lifCer-eggs from 100 hens: 523 dozen at
prices ranging from Is to IS cents, $ll2.45.
$50 young chicks, $50. so.
Pigs, $48.25.
Butter and cream sold from seven cows,
without grain: 401 lbs. at 25c, SCOOPS; 1874
lbs at 30c, $780,; 1873 lbs. at 2Oc, $57 go;
cream, $45. As.
10 head Of fat cattle, hay and grass fed, at
an average of $45 II per head, $728.O0.
One mich COW at $50, two at $40, three at
$50 and one at SIS, total sales of steers and
mich cows, SLAP.
Farmers often do not pay much attention to
raising garden truck. While Mr.. Stredwick
does not pretend to g1ow great deal for the
market. he sold considerable at good prices as
follows: 20 bu. seed potatoes, $40; % OTIS.
beans, us; cucumbers, 60c; 10 bu: seed flax.
SIS; "a doz. ears corn on cob, 1925; 68 bu
potatoes. $3.50; 100 lbs. plums, sos; bu.
tomatoes. 81 90; 80 OTIS. currants, $375; 10
citrons, 81 90; 8 bu. carrots, $3.50; 500 lbs
onions, $12 so. Total, $1,000.
Farmer readers, if you are not diversifying,
yet the habit. Keep record this year of
what you sell and make an effort to grow
something besides wheat and fax. At the end
of the year, you will be surprised to learn
what you have been able to do.

Colonel Scarlet, President of the Minot
Humane Society, is doing noble work. The
Colonel is fearless in the performance of his
duties, for nothing daunts this sturdy Scot on
doing what he knows is right Woe be unto
the driver who overpulls his horse or who
drives an animal tn It is not fit for service.
The fellow who leaves his beast of burden
stand unblanketed in the cold had better have
care Even the dogs and cats of Minot find
in the Colonel friend. The poor of our city
have learned that when in need, they do not
ask COL Scarlet in vain for assistance He
has distributed many tons of coal during the
present cold winter among various homes of
the city, Only last week he found home
where fuel was scarce and where the mother
and daughter had taken to their beds to keep
warm. Many Of the good people of Minot
who are favored with the goods Of this world,
have contributed to the fund of the Humane
Society. One man gave tickets good for five
tons Of COAL Another provisions and another
sum Of money There are few Of us but
who can spare small sum. The Colonel will
not ask you for money for the Society, but if
you can spare little we know that it will be
put to good use The Colonel is assisted in
the noble work by his good wife who never
wearies in the relief of those in distress.

The Independent believes that President A.
NJ. Thompson has selected the best concilia-
tory committee that it was possible to pick in
Ninot, but we do not believe that the COM
mittee will be able to do much in settling the
Normal school site question. One of the
south hill boosters who believes that right
is right" and that the Normal school should
be located where the Board first determined,
said he would fight for the site as long as he
the school should never be located here.
There are others as determined as he is We
should get District court decision at the
earliest moment, and if the case must be car
ried up to the Supreme court, no time should
be lost If the red tape business is cut out,
the matter should be definitely settled within
three or four months.

Widespread in English City.

"Do children drink a~lcohoI?"
The question was put to F. G. Mack
ereth of London. who has been max.
Ing inquiry into the matter, and he
made answer at a meeting OF the
Women's Temperance league which
greatly Mortified the good women
there. In one school alone. he said. he
found that 40 per cent. of the chill.
dren were regular alcohol drinkers
In fact. from the Investigations he
had made he had come to the conclu-
sion that there rnust be something
like 800. 900 child drinkers in London
and probably 1000. 900 in the large
towns and districts, Parents, ia sheer
ignorance. often gave their cn,ldren
strong drink because they thought II
was good for them. and a woman pres
.nt al the meeting volunteered the
information that she knew for a fact
IN some public schools beer was al.
most compulsory.
