NIGHT Train Wanted.

Browns Valley Tribune The rail-
road service over the Great Northern
from Browns Valley to the twin cities
as it is now constituted does not ap.
oeal to the busy business man. In
order to reach st. Paul over the Great
Northern one must leave here at 9 A.
M. and travel the entire day on a
train that does not average more than
% miles an hour, and he thus loses
all the day. for when be arrives in
the cities business places are closed.
and he also loses the first night. He
occupies the next day in transacting
business and loses the next night as
he cannot leave over the Great North
ern to return home until the following
morning at 9:20, and he il then re-
quired to spend the whole day in ira.
vel home. In other words, if a man
desires to transact days business in
the twin cities he is required to spend
t 90 nights there and two days in 60
ing and coming. 1t is not strange
therefore that there is a growing de-
mand for night train to leave
Browns Valley 9 or 10 O'Clock P.
M. to connect with the l O'Clock
east bound train at Morris. and a
night train from the cities arriving
in Browns Valley in the morning.
Of course such an arrangement would
mean the removal of the present day
service, but the travelling public
would be much better pleased and
the Great Northern would retain a
lot of passenger business that now
goes to the Milwaukee road.

PRIMARIES IN JUNE
Last Day for Filing May 27;
Non-Partisan Offices

1t is not far cry to primary cleo
tion day. To be specific. primary
election will be pulled off on Tues
day, June 10. The last day for filing
for any Office within the gift of the
people of Stevens county and the state
of Minnesota is Saturday. May 27.
This is advance information for those
gentlemen who are now disturbed by
the Office bee buzzing in close proxim-
ity to their bonnets. Time flies. 1t
awaits for no man. politicians and
ofice-seekers not excepted. In less
than six months the political caldron
in this and other counties in the state
will be boiling. Men who are willing
to sacrifice their time and energies
in behalf of the people to the extent
of drawing down salaries and emolu-
ments that go with public Offices will
be floating aoout the state and ex-
tending the "glad hand" to the folks,
Minnesota has new election law.
The primary election was formerly
held in September. The last legis-
allure changed the time for holding
this little affair to the month of June.
Also the lawmakers put all the legis-
lative and county offices on non
partisan basis, practically destroying
the foundations for party organiza-
tions.
Another interesting feature in the
law is that all county officers, except
the judge of probate. elected here
after. will hold their places for four
years. 1t would require the adoption
of a constitutional amendment to
change the tenure of Office for the
probate Judge. Names of candidate
for county surveyor will not 60 on
the primary election ballot. but will
be placed on. the general election bal
lot via the petition process. Not a
great many names will be required to
secure a place on the ballot.
Now that the holidays are passed
and the season of inventories has ar
rived, the politicians and Office seek
ing portion of the public are beginn-
ing to take account of stock. Already
can be heard whisperings and mur-
murings. It goes without the saying
that the present efficient set of county
officers will be candidates for re-
election. Naturally enough four-year
term looks as good to them as to an
outsider who wants to get in.

comodating neighbor and a fond 'hus-
band. He is survived by his wife

cared for him during his prolonged
illness. He was conscious until the
last attack of his affliction when he
passed quietly away.

present at the funeral. Other near
relatives are John Noble and Mrs. Ole
Femrite of Cottage Grove, Wis. Mrs.

FARMING THAT PAYS
Corn and Hogs as Money Max
ers in Stevens Co.

Winget & Keeler, of Stevens town
ship, made 81, 124. 65 ON their hogs,
according to letter published in the
Chokio Review. The letter follows -
Medina Farm. Jan. 2, 1914.
Mr.. Editor:
You having asked US for something
in regard to our hogs raised in 1913
we give the following facts.
During 1913 we raised 10 shoats.
Dec.l 5th we had II of them on the
So. st. Paul market which averaged
I212 pounds each, there, and sold for
So. 743 per hundred, SIS. S5 or 81, :
124.65 for the II head. These were
April pigs and averaged u months
old. This is not an exceptional
weight for that age; it was rather
just fair average considering the
number fed together If they had
had more grain when younger they
would have easily have reached 240
lbs. at the time of selling. Several
people with small lots makes an
average Of 255 lbs. at the same age.
After carefully figuring costs and re-
turns per acre for the land used in
producing those hogs we find that
they made return of SAT. so per
acre, gross. This would be equal to
the returns from Is Lushel wheat
crop grading No. /. The wheat takes
a lot of expense for harvesting thresh-
ing and hauling. The hogs harvest
I of their feed without any expense
for labor except fence. We consider
that it costs US about fifty cents per
acre to maintain the fencing as against
the expense of other crops. Another
consideration that is of great import
ance is the condition of the land after
aycropsof corn has been raised and
pastured off by hogs, as compared with
land that has had wheat crop riased
and sold from it. We think that the
corn land is worth from So to SIS pei
acre more for the subsequent crops
than the wheat land. This latter item
means a large indirect profit that il
generally overlooked. Many will be
afraid to try hogs after the sickness
around during 1913 but it is no worse
to lose crop of hogs occasionally
than it is to lose other crops and we
all lose some of our crops occasionally.
Those who have lost their hogs this
year should try again, in limited
way at first, and give the stock hogI
what is known as simultaneous treat
ment. Those who haven't had the
disaese on their farms would do vel
to have arrangements made to give
such treatment if any symptoms o.
cholera should show itself in thei
herds. Our County Agriculture
agent can tell you how to make pre-
parations to secure the treatment in {
very short time in case of emergency
In conclusion we would say that in th'
most prosperous sections of lows
where, and sells up to $3.50 per acr'
they raise lots of hogs and othe
stock. Iowa land never reached tina
price under small grain proposition
If we are anxious to see our lam
reach an average price of 500 pc
acre we must raise a great deal NOR
stock. When Chokio ships up to 30
cars of stock each year and one-thir
as much grain as at present. then vii
we see $3.50 land and a much bette
/ built up and prosperous community.
