One Farmers Experience

Five years ago I thought I
cOuld not make q living without
raising cotton, but every year
found me with the same old
cOmplaint--nothing to begin my
next crop on. If I made money
one yearlI lost 1t the next. My
wife suggested that we make a
change-she was always quot
ing The Progressive Farmer to
me. l told her that folks with
money could farm. that way but
poor man had to make all
cotton.
But finally 1 decided I could
DO no worse by changing my
plans. We had one milk cow
and bull. We lost the COW,
then traded the bull for two
heifers and bought another cow,
and in a few weeks she died.
We bought another cow on cred.
it and began sowing clover and
cowpeas and small grain. In
the meantime we ordered six
pure bred White Leghorn hens
and a cock. We sold enough
butter, chickens and eggs to buy
a Jersey bull calf, and 1 sold the
only hog we had and bought a
pair Of Duroc-J ersey pigs. Re-
suit: We are living at home,
have six milk COWS, ten
yearlings, fine flock Of chick
ems, a pretty fair start of hogs,
plenty Of vegetables and fruit,
and consider my land almost
doubled in value.
My five years experience try
ing to farm according to The
Progressive Farmer proves that
a man can make a start toward
better farming without money
to begin with. #. r. Clifton in

Changes IN
500 SERVICE
- Fl
Kenmare Despatch Authority for
Several Passenger Service
Innovations. !, /, JILL.

NKenmare, N. D., March H.-Elabor.
ate changes in the passenger service
in and out of Kenmare that have been
rumored for the past month are now
said to be fixed permanently, with
the changes to become effective MAJ
g..
One of the most important as far as
Kenlnare is concerned is the change
in the Bismarck train now running
from Minot to Bismarck. Under the
new schedule effective May 6, this
train will, run from Kenmare to Bis
marck, leaving here at about 1880 in
the morning and returning at about
the same hour in the evening. This
train will give a needed additional
passenger service to the county seat,
not only Of Kenmare but for all 9th.
er towns along the line. It will give
those having business in the county
seat a full day there without requir.
ingea stop over
Another change, long looked for,
and now made necessary by a SUI
preme court decision is the placing OF
exclusive passenger service ON the
Flaxton branch. This train will run
to Whitehall and back each day, leav.
ing in the morning and returning in
the evening. The schedule is not an.
nounced. The train will be placed in
service April 1.
With the addition of the Bismarck
train and passenger service on the
Flaxton branch, trains No. $50 and
151, will go back in service April /.
will be relieved of the local work and
will run flyer from st. Paul to Moose
Jaw. Exception to this may be made
for the towns between Drake and
Harvey, the latter town being the end
of the run for 105 and LOG, which now
do the local work between Portal and
the cities.
The schedule for Nos. $50 and ISL is
the same as previously announced.
Train No. $50 will leave Kenmare,
east bound around 4 o'clock in the
afternoon and train NON. ISL west
bound about 1:45 p. m.
Under the new schedules trains
Nos. 105 and 1O6 now running be.
tween Portal and the cities, will run
only from st. Paul to Harvey.
While it was originally intended to
make the change in these schedules
May 2, prospects for big business dur.
ing the month of April have led Off
Gals to make the change a month
earlier.
