FERGUS FALLS PACKING
PLANT a BIG SUCCESS

In view of The fact that the To-
eating of the State Equity Pack
ing Plant at Wahpetun is now
being urged upon the State Equity
Society and We deem it advisable
that the report of the Fergus
Falls Packing Plant which is a
private owned plant will interest
the readers of the Times: and the
fact, further. that many people in
this section do not know just what
amount of business or amount of
men employed in such an institu-
ton. The Fergus Plant is a small
concern besides others and their
report will be very interesting and
is as follows:
"rhe plant of the Fergus Falls
Packing company, about one mile
west Of the center of that city is
a busy place now. This plant is
mostly owned and operated by To-
cal men. During December and
January they killed 3,lOO hogs,
200 cattle. and 100 sheep. besides
many calves. All Of their output is
marketed in northwestern Mime
sofa, and eastern North Dakota,
from which territory tot their
stock is obtained.
They specialize on pork pro-
duets. At the plant they employ
about 10 men, and have six sales
men ON the road. lThey have their
own artificial cooling machine,
and trip through the plan:
shows the sanitary conditions to
be good. This concern is creating
quite stock market here. In 1915
they slaughtered over 1000 hogs
and 800 cattle.

CHANGING SEED WHEAT

The Month Dakota Experiment
Station has carried on several
trials in comparing the yield from
home grown seed wheat and the
sam" wheat after being grown
three years i'm Minnesota. The
first two years the yield was four
and one-cight bushels in favor of
th" home grown seed. In the
different trials the difference i'm
favor of the home grown SEED;
varied from one to five bushels
per acre. 1t must be kept in
mind that this was the same wheat
tn begin with. So these results
will not apply to the Introduction
of Il new variety.

BEING ONES OWN BOSS

Don't like to be bossed by others
do you? Want to be your own boss
Want to do as you please? Want to
have things your own way? You can
have them, but here are some things
you had better not do II you want to
succeed in being independent OF
everybody else: Do not get job that
is worth while. 1t will carry respon-
sibility with it and you will have to
do things that other people want
done in the way they want 1t done
Otherwise your job won't last long
Do not get a business of your own.
II you do you will have the RESPONSE
bility of making good at it, and that
means that you must work for other
people early and late, summer and
winter, and carry smiling face
whether you feel like smiling or not.
Do not get married, because as sure
as you do there will be responsible
ties of home-making and home-pro-
viding that never will raise their
burden from your shoulders for a
minute. II you want to be your own
boss do not try for one of the profess
sions. There is no place in profess
sional life for man or woman who
seeks to please only themselves.
Their offices stand empty and the cob
webs gather across the door If you
really want to be your own boss the
way is easy. Do not learn anything
useful, do not be anything useful.
Hire out at the cheapest poorest kind
of work you can find; work when the
boss is looking; loaf when he turns
his back; quit when you please and
without warning, Live on your fam
lily; loaf and eat and have a good
time. The folks who are their own
bosses are the loafers-the ne'er-do-
wells of the world; but everybody

her work faithfully to the president

circulated in the hearing of young
people than that which tells them
