teristics of the varieties of cot ton, and an extended and de- tailed treatment on how to se- lect cotton seed, and how to inn prove the crop by seed selec- tion.
 Despite the fact that this ar ticle is clothed in language and terms that are mysterious, technical and meaningless to a great many readers, yet if you have the patience to read it and break up the big words and high sounding phrases apparent ly necessary to impress upon the reader the learning of the "professor" who prepared it, you will be able to get some in- formation about seed that will Ibe valuable.
 It is the wish of Senator Clarke that these trial packages may be placed in the hands of those who will profit by them, and give them a good trial. If you are interested in these seed dHop me a card and a package will be mailed to you at once.

FREE SAMPLES OF
 COTTON SEED
One Quart Package of Seven Different Varieties Ready To
 Send Out To Farmers.

I have several hundred pack ages of selected cottonseed that will be sent to the farmers who want them. The seed are put up in one-quart packages, and have been specially grown for the U. s. government for plant ing purposes. These packages of seed are made available for the use of the farmers by Sena- tor James P. Clarke, who has received them from the U. S. Agricultural Department. The Department wants the seed tried out, and each farmer who tries one of the varieties will be giv- en enough seed next year to grow a bale, and thus get e. nough seed for future use. Write to me if you want one of these packages of seed.
 The varieties are as follows: Lone Star-Big boil; 35 to 40 bolls to the pound; lint 1 to 1 IS. Gins 38 to 40 per cent lint.
 Trice-Peterkin type. Bolls medium; lint 7-8 to 1 inch; gins out 28 to 33 per cent lint.
 Columbia-Mainly 5 locked. Bolls large; lint strong and 1 IA to 1 7-16; gins 29 to B per cent lint.

Shortage of 1S,259,0O0 Meat
 Animals.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 1O.- The indicated total shortage of meat animals since the census of 1910 is nearly 9 beef cattle, 7 sheep and over 8 hogs for each 100 of the total estimated population of the United States in January, 1914, according to the estimates of the Depart ment of Agriculture just pub lished in the Agricultural Out look. This means that it would take 18,259,OO0 more meat cat tie, sheep and swine than the estimates show at present in this country, to give the pres ent population the same meat supply that the census of 1910 showed to exist.
 These estimates are based up- on reports and estimates from the Departments field and state agents and county, town ship and special correspondents, who have reported on practical iy every county in the United States. The figures moreover have been compared with those of the census of 1910 and with the records of tax assessors in the various states as far as they are available. The Department therefore believe that these fig ures represent the best infor- nation obtainable of the numb CTS and values of live stock, in- cluding meat animals.
 The estimate with regard to meat animals, that is, cattle other than milch cows, and sheep and swine, indicate a steady and a slight increase in the num- Der of swine.

Education And Youths On The
 Farm.

Farm.
 Special to Independent.
 Washington, D. C., Feb. G. Farmers with a high-school edu- cation make nearly double the average income of those with merely a common school educa- tion and those who start earliest make the most profits, accord ing to the Department of Agri- cultures Investigators. The Departments office of Farm Management has been conduct ing series of investigations in the corn belt which have brought out many details that should be of practical value to all agriculturists. These re- suits have just been published in a new bulletin.
 Under average conditions the farm, according to this bulletin, is no place for the weak or for those unable to direct work. The man who intends to spend his working life in the country should start early, for success is not gained in a moment, but by many years of persistent effort. It is true that some farmers have made small fortunes in short time, but this is usually through a phenomenal rise in land values. Few men have be- come rich from the real profits of the land. Those who have done so usually needed a life time in which to work. Through skill in management and by hard labor a comfortable living and moderate profits may be ex- pected. Those persons who are turning to the farm with the idea of reaping large incomes are doomed to severe disappoint- ment.
 Those making the poorest in- comes were 28 years of age when they started farming and were past 30 when they became owners. On the average the oldest men are making the least profits.
 Many farmers with very little schooling succeed, but these same men would do better if they had the opportunity of fur ther training. No one ever hears a farmer regret that he spent a part of his early life in school.

BIG FIRE IN

A fire, the origin of which is un-

of lower DeMers avenue where most
of the saloons We're located was wip-
ed out by the flames, and the ap-
proach to the bridge across the Red
River and part of the span were also
much damaged It is thought the
fire started from an over-heated fur
mace. Both the East Grand Forks
and Grand Forks fire departments
worked heroically to save the town. It
is not certain yet whether the de-
stroyed portion will be rebuilt, as sa-
loon property is not generally con-
sidered safe and desirable invest

WHAT ONE WOMAN DID
Made Net Profit of $1.16 Day from
a Few Chickens.

AN interesting account OIL now
Barnum woman went into the poultry
business on a small scale and realized
enough from the enterprise to ma
terially contribute to the support of
herself and family is related in the
weekly agricultural letter prepared
by H. G Larson, county agricultural
agent Of St. Louis county.
''The past season." says the letter,
"has been somewhat slack in the
mines, a good many men working on
ly half time all summer and finally
laid off altogether. Mrs. L. j. Beck of
Barnum, Mimi, whose husband was
employed by the Iron Range Railroad
company, went through just that
kind Of an experience, but here is
where the business ability of Mrs.
Beck came to the rescue. Last spring
on May she purchased some day-old
incubator chicks, raised them success
fully and now has 112 pullets laying
nicely.
"The following report explains it

Average eggs for November-Fif-
ty-two per day.
Possible value-S1.60.
Net profit for day -$1.16.
"The chickens were White Leg
horns and were kept in an old log
coop. This brings out this fact
that it is the little things, we'll and
faithfully carried out-that produce
results. 1t illustrates furthermore
how independent good many people
might be, if only they would be will
ing to supply the necessary energy
and give to the details of their under
takings their best efforts.
"Mrs. Beck has proven beyond a
doubt that one does not need 16O
acres of land with fence around it
in order to make poultry pay.
Those of US who were born and
raised out in the country feel that
there is still plenty of opportunities
awaiting, still plenty of vacant land
upon which homes might be built
where health, wealth and happiness
are among thestaple articles. Then
why not a well-managed, well-paying
poultry plant ?"
