ON account of the deep inter.
est that has been taken in
diversified farming the past
year a note of warming from
a man who ought to know

He said he was as enthusiastic
as any one over the diversified
farming proposition but main
tanned that there was grave
danger of sore disappointment
and financial loss, which would
result in a serious reaction. He
contended that the main point
of danger was in importing
high priced dairy cows. Many

with each, but fact is that most
Of them have been tried out
and found to be poor producers,
both as to the amount of milk
and the quality and vigor of
their calves. in other words,

Dakota farmer will be paying

retard the movement for di-

that the farmers who contem-

matter. but to take every pre-
caution, so that they would not
be buying stock discarded by
eastern dairymen even though

while a collection of unhealthy

Physical directors of univers-
tiles and United States army
surgeons have recently as
sembled to take a historical
and statictical review of the
subject. Figures covering our
colleges for forty years and re.

THE BOYIN THE
COUNTRY TOWN.

WITH a single exception,
every member of President Will
sons cabinet began life as a
boy in a small country town.
Making the best use of early op-
portunities, they developed
their talents by study, steadily
working their way through
school and most cases through
college toward that broader ex-
peirence in the affairs of life
which ultimately fitted them
to become cabinet timber"
Their example should be an
inspiration to those who being
born and raised in a small
country town., are apt to con-
slider their surroundings as
unfavorable. If a youth has
ambition and energy he will
surely find the gate of oppor-
tunity open. In no part of
the world have their been
finer illustrations of the devel-
opment of self reliance, pru-
dence, concentration and those
other traits of character than
in the country town or village.
