KNOW YOUR COWS.

The demand for dairy products Of
all kinds is increasing faster than the
supply. This must result in high
prices for the raw material. The
farmer will receive good prices for
cream. This ought to be an incentive
to every farmer who is situated so
that he can produce more good cream
to keep more cows and better ones.
Don't be afraid Of overriding the COW
business. The good COW is the best in
vestment on the farm. Why not have
more of good thing?
In recent address at Grand Forks
at the North Dakota Corn and Clover.
convention, leading dairy expert
said:
Thousands of dairymen have own
ed and handled cows nearly all their
lives and yet are poor judges of cows.
The reason for this is that the know
ledge which they have gained from
their experience is superficial. They
have never compared their judgment
or Experience with actual records or
tests. They have vague conception
of the type Of a good dairy COW, but
it is based more upon their personal
opinion than upon evidence of fact.
Dairymen are coming to better real
ization of the fact that milk produc-
ing qualities in a cow are accompan-
led by a general conformation that
is quite characteristic. Dairymen who
make a nice profit from the business
familiarize themselves with the gen.
eral characteristics of a good dairy
cow, and make a careful study of the
relation they bear to economical pro-
duction."

So many cities get black eye be-
cause of the imagined castles of so
ciety. So many Of the self-styled
cultured" class imagine themselves
better than their neighbors who live
in less expensive homes. A little
money plus little external refine
ment, plus a little culture" plus a
little social power, plus good clothes,
plus ones ability to snub ones neigh
Dor, equals "Four Hundred" So many
of the so-called upper class in many
of our cities are content to live out
their lives in luxury, in idleness, in
laziness, we might add, when there
are so many opportunities to do good
in the world. And yet, the woman
who rocks the cradle and at the same
time keeps an eye on the electric
washer, rules the world.

f .
The day Of screaming headlines in
newspapers is practically at an end.
The signs of the times point to clean
er newspapers, containing more truth
full advertising, cleaner editorials
and news matter with less coloring.
Some states have enacted law plac-
ing ban on false advertising and ex-
aggerated statements and North Da-
kota has fallen into line. With
such law passed and enforced, the
readers of newspapers and periodicals.
published here will be able to rely on
all that is found in the advertising
columns. No honest advertiser needs
fear the enactment Of such a law, in
fact he will have reason to welcome It.

Several Philadelphia doctors are
under arrest charged with subjecting
animals to unnecessary pain in the
work of vivisection. One Of the in
struments said to have been used is
heavy weight allowed to lower grad
ually over dogs back, breaking it,
yet not causing the death of the an
imal. The lives of animals must be
sacrificed in the important work of
research, yet if some of these stories
are true, the internal machines ought
be abolished and punishment melted
out to the users of them.

Many Of our young men and women
think that without college education
the gates of success are forever closed
to them. The right kind of college
education, backed up by the proper
stuff, does help, but we see so many
examples in the state today of the
men who have achieved success thru
their own efforts that no one should
get discouraged. tom" Hall, Secre-
tary of State, is one of the men who
had to dig out an education himself
and a great deal Of his education was
acquired right in newspaper office.
At twenty-four years of age Mr.. Hall
was working on a section and he isn't
ashamed of it, either. He helped sup
port his father and mother and men,
bers of the family, having little op-
portunity to 60 to school. He wanted
to improve his condition, so applied
for a job on the old Fargo Argus.
Tom used to get up at o'clock in the
morning to mail out the edition of the
paper, in order to earn money to pay
his way thru school. Later he joined
the reportorial staff Of the paper and
it was proud day for him when his
copy could go thru without being
blue-penciled. Nine years he worked
at the desk Of this paper, and later be-
. i.
came one of the owners. He was a
most proficient newspaper man and
this seemingly has not handicapped
him as a servant of the people, who
recently honored him by electing him
to one of the highest positions in the
gift Of the citizens of the state.

CHANGING at picnic in the woods,
you can readily pick out the sexes a
mile off. The figures in black are
men, those in white and the colors Of
the rainbow are ladies. And this is
June, with the mercury at ninety.
Americans are crazy in their summer
dress. Wool is for winter, and it is 4
sin to sweat. It spoils the temper.
Smoke fewer cigars, and have money
to pay for the laundry Of white coats
and trousers.

Consumers Employees Enjoy Picnic
Manager J. f. MCGUIRE Of the Con-
sumers Power Co., gave an old FASH
Toned picnic in the city's west park
Sunday for the employees Of that con-
Germ. About forty enjoyed the day in
the leafy woods, the crowd being TAX
en- out in autos. At six o'clock dan
dy picnic dinner was served. During
the afternoon ball game was en-
joyed, several of the ladies proving
highly efficient. It is reported that
Miss Dwire knocked three pitchers,
Spillane, Heft and Moon, out of the
box.

So many laws are enacted, the en-
forcement of which not the slightest
pretense is made. When the legisla-
ture passed the bill prohibiting serv-
ing liquor on trains within the state
of North Dakota, everybody knew it
would turn out big joke. Another
law was passed prohibiting the drink
ing of Intoxicating liquor on trains
and this law is just as big joke. AS
to the merit of these laws, we'll let
the reader be the judge, but these as
well as hundred other laws ought to
be enforced or repealed.

With our marvellous progress in
commercial development, this coun-
try is just beginning to realize that
it won't do to trail along behind the
countries of the world in
road making. The Japanese govern
ment has adopted plan for series
of fine national roads in Korea to
cost $5,O00,00O. Let "Uncle Sam"
wake up and get out of the mud.

The Independent was at first a lit
tie skeptical of creosoted blocks, the
kind of paving that the city fathers
selected for Minot, but since visiting
Grand Forks, we are convinced that
this is as good if not the best paving
that could have been ordered. Out Of
four kinds of paving used in Grand
Forks, the creosoted blocks have stood
the test the best of all.

We note by a Kansas City paper
that 1875 cars Of potatoes shipped to
commission men are spelling in the
railroad yards Of that city. The mar
ket is flooded with them and the rail
roads are having a hard time selling
them for enough to pay the freight.
One car Of COS bushels was sold for
$25, about cents a bushel or cent a
peck. Too many new potatoes is one
explanation made for the low prices,
and then it is said the growers Of the
Northwest held their last summers
product for high prices and when the
price reached seventy-fve cents, they
threw enormous quantities on the
market. Another instance where the
growers should unite. The potatoes
will be total loss to the growers.

Automobiles seem to be killing
more people these days than the rail
roads. One scarcely ever picks up q
newspaper but what he reads Of some
fatal auto accident, and so often the
fault lays entirely with the driver.
The other evening enroute home from
Grand Forks, we saw foolhardy
driver racing with one Of the Great
Northern's fastest trains and for Z
time the odds were even. Had the
driver lost control Of his car for the
fraction Of 9 second, the party might
easily have been dashed into eternity,

The international Harvester Co.
has 800 acre experimental farm
near Grand Forks and this year is
growing 100 acres of corn that will no
doubt mature. The company will give
this corn to the farmers of the state
in bushel and two hushel lots, not
charging them cent, but reserving
the right to 60 into any field and Sc
lect two bushels of seed for one given.
The company plans on spending $15,-
900 in corn growing during the next
three years and intends to give the
farmers the benefit. Of course, the
International hopes to be benefited
by the proposition, but intends to help
the farmers first.

Heavy Rain Visits Sawyer Country.
A very heavy rain visited the Saw
yer country Sunday afternoon last
ing nearly an hour, doing an immense
lot Of good. Some bail and wind ac-
companied the stoDh, but did little
damage. Mr.. Putney, from sixteen
miles southeast Of Minot, was in the
city Monday and reported getting a
good rain at his farm. A heavy wind
carried away a good sized shed from
Rev. Johnson's farm house.

Is it hot enough for you? You hear
this on the street every hour. Avoid
it. The question shows a weak head,

rency, women's rights, child labor.

There is considerable land that is
not being farmed this year, the own
ers intending to summer fallow as
much Of it as possible. It should be
remembered that North Dakota now
has a noxious weed law and if one
fails to keep the weeds down properly
the township authorities can cut the
weeds and charge the work up against
the land.

There is a state law which forbids
any person having a contagious or in
fictitious disease handling food pro-
ducts. Grand Forks is the first city
in the state to take action and as a
result ten per cent of the food hand
lers of that city will be ousted from
their positions. A little hard on those
unfortunates, but the public must be
protected.

When men can buy straw hats for
a dime, they should not scorch their
scalps with old wool hats of the win

better and simply stick feather on
their heads, and call it macaroni.

Are Dairy Animals TOO Closely
Housed?

Realizing that performance is the
ultimate purpose Of the dairy COW and
bending every effort to develop this
Characteristic, breeders ofdairy cat
tie have sometimes allowed them
selves to become somewhat one sided
in the direction of milk and butter
fat production.
This. at any rate, is tho opinion OF
DR.. Henry Favill OF Chicago, who is
sicians Of the middle west and who
owns and operates a large dairy farm
in jefferson county, Wisconsin.
While granting that performance Is
the ultimate purpose of a dairy cow,
he is convinced that there is type
which carries with II not only the
best performance, but the best ply
sique as we'll A moral obligation, he
believes, rests upon breeders Of pure
blood cattle to steadfastly fight for
type, not as mere esthetic achieve
ment. but as having n fundamental
relationship to performance.
Admitting, as we must, the menace
to the dairy industry OF tuberculosis,
to say nothing OF other infectious dis
eases; halting along unsatisfactory
rs we do with the tuberculln test an.
it's wedding out method, can we close
our eyes to the fact that safety in
this situation lies in the development
Of vital resistance and that particu-
larly in the earliest months of life?
SO far az concerns tuberculosis Il
Is beyond question that the strong,
well-deve!oped animal with large lung
power, habitually used, is more re-
sistant to tuberculosis than the feeble
and delicate. There Is, however, nc
such thing as absolute immunity, and
any animal too constantly subjected
to infection Is liable TO become tuber-
culous.
There is no question that there IS
less infectious material outside the
barn than within It. When we stor
to consider, therefore. the Highly
stimulated resistance on the one hand
and the less exposure to infection
that there is In the open air on the
other. can We avoid the conclusion
that our animals. and particularly our
young animals, are safer I'm the open
air than they are in the barn2
