FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.

Henry Ford, the automobile manu-
facturer, was engineer in an electric
light plant in Detroit. Charley Muir
ply, the base ball millionaire, was a
reporter on the Cincinnati Enquirer
Thomas H. Ince, the motion picture
magnate, was comic opera comedian,
glad to get $50 week. Charlie Weegh-
man, owner of the Chicago Federal
ball club and string of restaurants,
was a waiter in a Quick-lunch room
and SO it goes. The list could be
strung out column length. Therefore
when yon hear boy or young man
complain that he has no chance, take
him by the arm and tell him a few
things. There never was a time in the
worlds history when there were more
opportunities for young man to- push
to the front. There never was a time
when little intelligence and determi-
nation would provide a man with a
competence in a few years. This is
particularly true in the farming bust

CUTTING UP BIG FARM.

The LEM Land Company Of James
town is preparing advertising matter
looking to the sale of the Chicago
ranch near Montpelier. The prop
erty consists of 7,440 acres, $3.50
being under cultivation and 1,180
acres under fence. The land is one
solid body and the plan is to dispose
OF, the entire tract either in small
farms or as a whole. Three of the
sections have new sets of buildings,
the main buildings being located on
section 21-137-63 in Stutsman county.
The average grain crop raised on the
farm has aggregated $4,000 bushels.
Last fall 1000 tons of hay were put
up. There are about $50 head of cat
tie on the ranch and 80 head of horses.
The Chicago ranch is not rough graz
ing land, but good farm land, mostly
level and well adapted to general farm
ing purposes. =.

DAIRY POSSIBILITIES FOR
THE FARMERS OF BARNES

The business of breeding blooded
dairy cattle in North Dakota is yet in
its infancy. In the state of Wisconsin
there are more Guernsey cattle than of
any other one dairy breed. In our own
state there are comparatively few
people who know what a Guernsey COW
looks like and there are many who
have never heard of the breed at all.
As nearly as can be determined there
are probably not over 100 Guernseys in
North Dakota, these being gathered
into a half dozen small herds. One
OF the best of these is the herd of
Guernseys belonging to Mr.: Cooper, of
Courtenay. There are % in all and
were imported from Guernsey Isle.
The Jersey and Holstein varieties
are somewhat more familiar tothe
average North Dakotan. Until re-
Gently, one of the finest Holstein herds
to be found in the state, was located at
Marion, about 35 miles southwest OF
Valley City. These animals were own
ed by the D. B. S. tombstone Land Co.,
which has disposed of them for un-
known reasons, probably on account
of tuberculosis in the herd.
Tuberculosis, by the way, is a dis
ease, which, while it causes disastrous
results once it reaches herd, yet is
easily possible to safeguard against.
Have all animals tested. If any are
diseased, dispose of them promptly
