CREAMERY SHIPS
IN DAIRY COWS
HIGH GRADE MIXERS FOR
FARMERS WHO WISH TO IN.
CREASE THEIR HERDS
Manager Erickson Anxious to Increase
Creamery Output-Will Get More
Cows If Wanted

Forty selected, high grade, milk
cows reached Williston Monday to
supplement local dairy herds. The
two-car lot consists of % Holstein
GRADES and 10 Of shorthorn strains.
Manager F. E. Erickson and Direc-
tor J. J. Larson, of the Williston Co.
operative Creamery, went to Mime
sofa about ten days ago to buy at
least two cars of first class winter
mixers for the creamery with the
purpose of selling them on favorable
terms to farmers who wish to add to
their dairy herds.
Nothing but we'll graded animals
showing distinctly the lines of the
dairy type were selected. All are
either fresh now or soon will be. The
COWS were purchased in the vicinity
of Hutchinson, MINI.
To Build Up Creamery
The cows were taken to the fair
grounds where many farmers have
Inspected Them this week. Several
lots were ssold at once and Mr.. Erick-
son stated yesterday noon that pro-
spects were good for all to be dis
posed of by night. Through the CO.
operation of the local banks the
Creamery Company IS IN pOSlClOn 10
offer farmers favorable terms on these
purchases and the cows are sold at
just the cost of bringing them here.
This is no small figure, however, as
high grade milk COW is worth more
than a good horse was a few years
ago.
The object Of the creamery COM
pany in bringing in cows is to increase
the patronage of the creamery, es-
pecially in the winter season when
the milk output is greatly reduced.
Feed is comparatively plentiful this
year and some farmers are in posi-
tion to take care Of more stock than
they have.
If the demand warrants the bring
ing in of other shipments Of first
class, fresh cows it is probable that
the company will see to it that the
demand is met. The company sees no
better method of putting the cream
cry on a substantial and profitable
basis than that of getting more good
cows in the stables of creamery
patrons.

Eulogy On the Cow,
Mans BenefactOr

mo other animal works for
man both day and night. She has
gone with man from Plymouth
Rock to the setting sun. 1t was
her sons that drew the prairie
schooner for the sturdy pioneer,
as inch by inch they fought to
prove that Westward the Star
of Empire Takes Its Way And
the old COW grazed along behind
and when the days march was
done she came and gave the milk
to fill the mothers breast to feed
the sucking babe that was per.
chance the future ruler of the
country.
"Wko says that we are to =
great extent We do not owe to
mans best friend, the COW?
Treat her kindly, gently, for
without her-words fail me to
describe.
Truly the COW is mans great
est benefactor. Hail, winds,
drOuths and floods may come, de.
strOy our crops, and Danish our
hopes, but from what is left, the
COW manufactures the most nOur.
ishing and life-sustaining goods.
We love her for her dOcility, her
beauty, and her usefulness. Her
loyalty has never weakened-and
should misfortune 0vertake US, as
we become bowed down with the
weight Of years, We know that in
the COW we have a friend that 10

the debt. She saves the home.
Little do We realize the debt we
owe her,"

Call For Papers
On Project Lands

The Officials of the Williston Land
Office have received from the General
Land Office the following letter to-
gether with other instructions in con-
nection with the Williston Project
lands.
October, 1916.
Directing transmittal
Of final certificates.
Register and Receiver,
Williston, North Dakota.
Sirs:
You will transmit to this office i'm
mediately by special letter, all final
proofs and final certificates upon en-
tries within reclamation projects in
your district upon which proofs Of the
reclamation for agricultural purposes
of at least one-half Of the irrigable
area have been submitted and ap-
proved by the Project Manager, and
upon which you have issued final GER
tifcates, under the provisions of the
act of August 9, 1912 (57 Stat, 1861,
and acts supplementary thereto and
amendatory thereof.
You will transmit to this Office by
special letter, all final proofs and
proofs of reclamation filed in your Of
flee and upon which you issue final
certificates to and including Novem-
ber 10, 1916. You will advise all en-
trymen, whose proofs of reclamation
are filed after November 10, 1916,
that owing to the fact that another
installment Of water right charges on
reclamation entries will become due
on December /, 1916, no final certif-
Gates can be issued until that INSTALL
ment of water right charges is paid
and certificates Of the Project Man
ager showing such payment is filed
in your office. The reason for this is
that final certificates issued after the
date mentioned cannot be transmitted
to this office, examined and the en-
tries passed to patent, prior to De-
cember l, 1916, on account of the
short space of time intervening.
