North Dakota Awakens.

A party of more than sixty
North Dakota farmers who have
been following grain growing came
to Wisconsin a week or two ago to
learn something about Wisconsin
dairying with a view of getting in
to that industry themselves. This
is good for North Dakota and it
will not hurt Wisconsin, for the
field is 50 great and the process of
establishing dairying on a large
scale is so slow that the demand
will grow as fast as the industry.
But there is one feature of the
situation to which the farmers of
! Wisconsin should not take kindly.
and that is the expressed deter1nin-
alton of these Dakota people to Sc
cure a lot of the best Wisconsin
dairy stock. We need all this
stock in Wisconsin. Having the
best dairy stock in America is not
enough-the best that can be had
T is the only limit that the people Of
Wisconsin should recognize. There
i is room for vast improvement in
Wisconsin dairy herds. and all the
people of the state should insist
that that improvement be made as
soon as DOsslble

Good Ore Season.

Every indication seems to point
to a very good ore season this year,
saws the Ashland Press, and both
the 500 and Northwestern are
making preparations to handle more
tons of ore than they have done for
a number of years past. The otlci-
ais Of both roads are very optimis-
tic as to the outlook and and quite
confident that this will witness a
record breaker more hauling throgh
the local harbor.
The old wooden ore cars which
were in the service of the WisCon-
Central for q great number OF years
are fast being replaced by ones OF
steel consttuctin with a much larger
capacity by the 500 Line. Although
there are still a number OF wooden
cars left and some will still be seer
in service this season, the fact that
three hundred steel ore cars are OF
their way from the shops BE USED
this summer ought to be sufficient
indication that better than evel
