lice court this morning to answer to
two counts of indecent exposure. Due
to the delicate nature OF the case the
testimony offered by two Rhodes

doubt as to whether the offense was
accidental or intentional, but the tes-
timony of Officer William P. McCue
was to the effect that it was inten-
tional. The court suspended judg-
ment with warning.
The charge made by the two girls
was that on Sunday evening, August
10, Hiltbrand stood in his bed room

made and last Sunday night as Officer
McCue was hustling to Hiltbrand's
house to serve warrant he claims
that he. too, was treated to an ex-
h1bltion OF living pictures that had
not been passed by the censor. Hit
brand was defended by Lawyer P. r.
McDonough and disclaimed all guilt.
His testimony. that he was simply re-
firing for the night and had not
drawn down the shades, although the
blinds were closed, but the shutters
open. was corroborated by Mrs. Hit

of farmers in the northwest to Ia into

Of farmers in the northwest to go into
the dairy business Immediately, be-
cause of the fact that COWS would not
be available. While some farmers
might be able to purchase a few from
their neighbors, there is no possibility
this way. 1t would be possible to go
to dairy regions and buy young cattle
that may later develop into fairly
good cows, but it must be realized
that dairymen do not very frequently
sell their best COWS or young stock,
especially at prices which the average
farmer would consider paying.
If special dairying is to be engaged
in, it would doubtless he advisable to
use the pure dairy breeds, such as
Holstein, Jersey, Guernseys, or Ayre-
shires. However. it is probable that
the Shorthorn. especially If the milk
producing strains can be acquired,
will be found most satisfactory to the
beginner. Such cows require less care
full attention, and the calves produced
can be sold for better prices.
It is, however, advisable to secur
a sire Of known origin. That is, one
whose ancestors have been bred and
developed for milk producing. This is
perhaps the most essential step in the
building up of a dairy herd, and n
which should not be sighted.
When it is realized that the average
COW being MIXED produces only n
hundred and fifty pounds of butter
fat per e and that there are indi-
viduals which have produced fifteen
hundred pounds, it is readily seen
that too much attention cannot be
paid to the development of higher
producers. The COW producing n
hundred and fifty to three hundred
pounds of butter fat a year, will con-
nj practically as much feed as the
COW producing six to eight hundred
pounds. That is, the maintenance of
the weight of the COW giving three
hundred pounds is practically the
same as the one giving twice or three
times as much, and it is only what is
secured above the necessary amount
required for maintenance that car be
considered profit.
Dairying Requires Care and Skill.
1t can probably be more truly said
of dairying than any other line of
farming, that the dairy business is
more exacting, and to be successful
gence and application than in almost
any other line. The best dairymen
are those who have been raised in the
dairy districts, and have learned to
like the work. A good dairy COW is
necessarily of rather a v tenn
permanent, and requires more careful
feed and handling than any other
animal on the farm, if the best results
are to be expected.
The dairy COW, in the strictest sense.
is simply a machine for the CONVEX
sion of such feeds as are required.
into the high class products of milk
and butter. This machine requires
more careful feeding and handling
than any other on the farm, and IA
vorable results cannot be expected I'M
less such care and treatment are af-
fOrded.

International Falls ,
Factories Tied Up
By Employees Strike

International Falls, Mimi, Oct, 20.
A general strike Of employees at the
factories Of the Minnesota and On
tario Power company is on today. The
reasons given by the men are that the
hands at the new Kraft Mill have not
been accorded the increase in pay
granted to employees at the paper mill,
causing the strike; and that the paper
mill men went out in sympathy with
the Kraft mill men It is reported
that the company is discharging men
in great numbers who recently agitat-
ed for concessions.
Owing to heavy storms, the saw
mill of the International Lumber
company has not operated for the last
two days. The yards are SO blocked
with snow that it is impossible to get
the lumber away from the mill as II
is sawed.

There never a in the history of
this region, such rapid extension OF
tho dairy industry, as is taking place
at the present time. There are many
old plants being opened up, extensions,
and new ones built. This indicates
that there are more cows being milk
than. ever before. The reasons for
this increase in dairying may be hard
to give. but it is evident that many
are finding that they need a constant
and certain income to meet the run
ming expenses of the farp and that
there is no line of farming that is
mor reliable than dairying.
At the present time. there are two
outstanding advantages in dairy farm
ing. The immediate and steady cash
return to be secured from milking
cows will appeal to more farmers than
the other important advantage, which
is, that on a we'll managed dairy farm
practically all the food grown Is mar
keted in a more concentrated and
valuable form, and that such a sys-
tenn admits of maintaining the fer
tility of the soil to the best possible
advantage.
The northwest, especially the CEN
trail sections, may be said to be pass
ing the first stage Of her agricultural
development - grain farming and
from now on a more diversified. or
safe system of farming must be
practiced. It may be hard to find a
good and satisfactory reason for the
passing Of the profitable production of
small grains, but it is realized by all
that such is the fact.
Grain Farming Means selling Fertility
When only grain crops are grown
continuously, it means that there is a
drain on the fertility, or plant food.
in the SOIL. And it must be realized
that no soil can grow crops such as
have been grown in this section, year
after year, without sooner or later
reaching a point where production
will cease to be profitable.
When fat stock and dairy products
are sold from the farm, only a small
portion of the plant food taken from
the soil is disposed Of. The greater part
of the elements of plant food may be
returned to the soil in the shape of
barnyard manure. This becomes very
evident when we compare the value
of plant food contained in different
products from the farm. which is
shown in the following table:
