WHAT FIVE COWS CAN DO
FOR THE FARMER.

That dairying can be carried on
with profit and without inconven-
ience on the average farm is shown
by the experience of John H. Miller
a farmer living near Bottineau. The
Bottineau Courant says that FIVE
dairy cows have paid Mr.. Miller
profit during the past year of $1.S3
daily. From the product Of the five
cows 1900 pounds of butter was
made which sold for $327.60. He
also raised five calves which he sold
for SIS. Ten hogs, milk fed, were.
also raised on the milk of the five
COWS, and they are worth 5000. But,
ter used on the farm is valued at
$62.4O, making a total of 1866 for
the year, and this is in addition to-
the milk and cream supply for the"
household purposes. What one far
mer can do. another can do also. and:
what North Dakota wants is mores

Darlington in the spring continues to
pile up. That stakes are already
driven in the Glenfield vicinity fol-
lowing a survey is the statement Of
a prominent citizen Of the east side
of the county.
A coal dock Of monster proper
tions is now being rushed to compile
ton at Darlington. It's capacity is
so huge that the present Northern
Pacific trains cannot begin to con-
sumo it. 1t is capable of handling
forty tons of coal an hour-enough
to coal up five engines, or almost as
many as the Northern Pacific runs
through here in twenty-four hours
The dock is being constructed at the
west end of the Northern Pacific
yards, near the Turtle Lake branch,
line tracks. The rumor has BEEN
persistent for months that the Great
Northern would buy this braneh,.
build a twenty-mile stretch ftsm
Glenfield, Foster county, to CARING
ton, then continue the branch line
from Turtle Lake to Coal Hsrbor,,
across the Missouri river, and join
the so-called New Rockford-Lewis-
ton line at some point west of the
river.

that much of the small equipment
now being received at branch sta
tions is from the Great Northern's
supply department.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AID
What the General Government Should
Do i'm Good Road Con.
structiop.

The joint congressional committee
on federal aid in the construction of
Lpost roads is sending out to different
states for opinions in regard to the
part which the federal government
is expected to take in the construc-
ton of general system Of good
roads. Senator Bourne is chairman
Of the committee. and among the
members is Senator Gronna from
North Dakota. The committee is
endeavoring to inform itself on GER
tain phases of the proposed work,
and has prepared a series of ques-
tions with that end in view.
In order to get an intelligent ex-
preston of this community, G. w.
Kurtz Of Jamestown. chairman of
the good roads association, has in
terviewed number Of citizens Of the
county, and members of the good
roads association, in. regard to the
matter, and the following consensus
of opinion fs given:
1st. The government should
make appropriations in aid of public
roads.
2. The government appropriations
should be expended ON trunk line
Interstate highways. connecting
capitals and large cities. With q
main trunk line as starter, state.
county and township aid would moro
readily construct laterals. and con-
Meeting lines with the trunk line
|road.
8. The government appropriation
should be expended on construction,
maintenance and general improve
ment. 1t is important that the new
highways be put in first class shape
and 50 maintained until the work Of
increasing the mileage Of such road
gets under full headway. Whatever
money the government expends on
any road or portion of road, should
be with the object of getting the best
results for the actual use Of the pub
lie, and the maintenance is almost as
important as the first construction.
4. The proportion Of cost Of con-
struction, improvement and main
tenance which should be borne by
the national government, state. coun-
ty and township is given as follows:
Township IS per cent; county IS per
cent; state 20 per cent; government
20 per cent.
5. The federal appropriation In
aid of road improvement should be
apportioned among the states on the
basis of taxable valuation.
8. The supervision Of construc-
tion or maintenance of government
aided roads should be BY the federal
and state authorities for construc-,
tion only. Once thsSroads are prop
erly constructed and ID use, local
pride and state laws win be auhacient
to care for the, supervision Of the
maintenance gthereaf fter.

MAKING A WILL.

Denver News: The average ma has
a clear idea Of what he wants done
with his estate after his death. He
cannot understand why he cannot sit
down at his desk and put on paper
briefly and simply what he wants, and
leave the writing to guide those who
administer his estate.
One of this kind of men drew a will
leaving all Of his property Ito my be-
loved sons" At the time he drew the
will he had three sons living.
Shortly before this man died n Of
his ons died and left two children.
Now, when the old ma died this
question arose: Should the dead sons
children share in the estate? Probably
there was not the slightest doubt of
what the old man would have said had
he been alive to be consulted. But
those who were called upon to distrib-
ute the estate had no alternative
they must follow the terms Of the will.
The courts do not allow any guessing
or any stretching of the written pro-
visions Of a will.
So owners of property are constantly
being cautioned against trying to make
their own wills without the assistance
Of the expert. And since the will
amounts to about the most important
Investment you ever make-a stalking
Of your all upon the development of
the future Of some one or more in
whom you are deeply interestd-tlat
caution is needed.
From first to last in the matter of
handling money or what can be ex-
changed for money expert advice is
needed. knowledge of how to save
money. of how to keep it safe during
the process Of accumulation, and of
how to use it to make grow, is not
instructive, any more than it lies in
the mind Of the untaught man to draw
a will which cannot fail to carry out
plans for making his money work after
he is gone.
The home-drawn will won't do.
There is a great enough responsibility
for trouble with the most carefully
drawn instrument!
