An instructive article entitled "Ju-
dicious Farm-Selection' appears in
the current issue of Farm and Fire
side. Following is an extract:
Having decided on district that
is adapted to the line of farming that
he wishes to pursue and having in
formed himself regarding the quality
and resources Of the community, the
farm-hunter may tittingly begin his
search for farm. If possible, it is
preferable to see place both in the
spring and fall before purchasing it..
It is we'll to look over the farm from
all viewpoints and to visit it alone if
1t is possible to shake the real-estate
salesman or the farm-owner. The
prospective purchaser should study
the drainage conditions, both natural
and artificial. He should know the
number of live stock the place will
support, the crop yields of each field
for series of years, the amounts of
feed annually bought and raised for
the stock, the distances to town,
creameries, grain-elevators and can
ning-factories.
"A study of the express, freight and
passenger rates to marketing and pur-
chasing centers is essential, as we'll as
complete knowledge regarding the To-
cal rural delivery, telephone and tele-
graph service, banking facilities, the
presence or absence of cooperative
buying or selling associations, the fire.
quency of severe storms, droughts,
frosts and forest fires land the chief
agricultural occupation of the district.
''Whateyer you do. Mr.. Farm-Hunter,
don't tie up all your capital in paying
for the place and have no reserve for
running expenses. At best it will be
several years before the farm is re-
turning much of revenue to you, so
apportion off a generous amount of
our available funds for working capt.
tai and for rainy-day emergencies.
Then you will be in tiptop shape to be-
gin operations, and you will not have
to worry over where tomorrow's din
ner for the family is coming from.
Play the game safely and rather buy
smaller farm than to involve your
all in the land and equipment and
perhaps go hungry for many days and
ultimately lose your farm because you
bit off too big chunk"

Stacy Mercantile Co.
Changes Hands Today
LOCAL WHOLESALE ESTABLISH.
MENT ENTERS UPON PERIOD
OF STILL GREATER GROWTH

(From Fridays Daily
Promptly at eleven o'clock today,
E. w. Boyd, manager of the Stacy
Mercantile company of this city made
the last entries and closed the books
of the organization. and this after.
noon it will be taken over by Nash
Brothers of Grand Forks by represen-
tatives Of that concern.
The sale, which was made several
weeks ago by the Stacy Company, in
cludes the mercantile houses at Fargo,
Devils Lake, Bismarck and Billings,
and makes one of the largest trans
fers of property made in the state this
year.
Nash Brothers, the purchasers of
the Stacy concerns, are we'll known in
the Northwest as progressive and able
merchants. With the houses they
have secured through this sale, they
will have total of forty houses in
North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana
and Canada handling wholesale groc-
cries and fruits. Representatives of
Mash Brothers and the Stacy COM
pany arrived in the city this afternoon
to 60 over the local concern, and make
the formal transfer.
His business and social friends in
Valley City and this section of the
state will be pleased to learn that the
manager, e. w. Boyd, will remain as
manager of the new concern. Mr..
Boyd has been connected with the To-
cal house for seven years. Mr.. Boyd
has been responsible in large degree
for the growth of the local house. He
is energetic, has good business judy
ment, and is popular with his custo-
mers.
The growth of the Stacy Mercantile
Company in recent years from very
small business to one of the largest in
the state is proof in itself Of the pos
sibilities of Valley City as wholesale
point. The town is reaching size
where it should take a place in the
mercantile Life of the state as a leader.
The successful establishment OF the
Valley City Grocery Company, The
Stacy House, the Russell Miller Mill
ing Company, the Northern Seed Co.,
Northwest Nursery, Middlewest,
North Dakota Mutual Fire Insurance
companies, is evidence in itself that
with the right men behind them,
wholesale houses can be made big sue
cesses here. And if they are to come
and stay, they deserve and must re-
ceive, the whole hearted support of
every business man and buyer. The
amount of money spent by each Of
them is large, and a considerable por-
ton Of it comes back into the pockets
Of the people who spend it with them,
instead of going to the larger centers
Of trade, there to remain. If concerns
like the above are to remain and grow
they must be encouraged.

Care of Horses.

II is very good practice TO clip
horses, partly or in whole. at this
time OF the year. We believe that the
European custom OF clipping the legs
and belly as high as the traces come,
is rather better than our own usual
method Of either clipping all over or
stopping just above the knees and
lower part OF the horses body from
long hair is a decided advantage while
the muddy period lasts, aud this is
particularly true during the raw cold
spring weather and late winter.
Half clipping allows what mud adj
heres to the belly and legs to be cas-
lily removed and the skin then dries
rapidly. Nature is surprised by the
first warm weather In the spring, the
horse still has his heavy coat OF win
ter hair, and he perspires prorusely NJ
his ordinary work. Most OF the sweat
soaks down on the legs and belly.
keeping the whole horse wet from it's
vapor. II this can be overcome. the
rest OF the horses body can be dried
on with comparative ease. The only
way to overcome it at this time Of
year is to clip the lower half Of all OF
the body
Clipping the lower part Of The legs
only simply aids in keeping these
parts free from mud. and this sort OF
clipping is done more to save work
than to save the horse
There are not many who advocate
or practice clipping the entire body
early in the spring. This is a vslu.
able and perfectly feasible practice
where the driver knows his business
and protects the horse from sudden
changes and bad weather. but It is
safer to follow the half clipping plan
