sort of mysterious proposition and he halls to attach full importance to it.
 He may take a load of grain to town, get his check and in a few minutes he is handling real money. It matters not what he does with it. It's the real thing and he feels good over the transaction.
 Tt is true, however, that he feels a wee bit guilty in the knowledge that he is carrying around in his pocket a fraction of the fertility of his farm which means to him the same as the bankers bonds in his saafe, but this is not in his estima- tion serious enough to keep him awake nights. He doesn't appreciate his cows to the extent that makes them feel even kindly disposed to- ward them. He doesn't become inter- ested in them to the extent that he finds pleasure in taking care of them. Dairying means drudgery to him, to the boys. to the women folks and the hired man is very sure it is an un profitable business.
 No one can hope to succeed in any industry that he does not like. The good COW allied with the good dairy man has and will continue 50 pay off more farm mortgages than any thing else on the farm, animate or inati- mate Good cows handled hV a good dairyman who is interested in the most prosperous features of farming. Cows adapted to dairying having ac- cess to the marvellous alfalfa pastures found in the great southwest and farm mortgages may be safely classed as sworn enemies ana the COW will win out in the conflict every time il she is given half a chance. She must not be expected to perform miracles. but sine can and will if she is given a fair chance, take care of the mart gages.
 We would strongly urge everyone who is seeking a home, young or old, male or female. to look forward, se- cure while it may be had at reason able prices and on favorable terms a few acres of irrigated land in the Valleys of the southwest, where the fertility is marvellous and the health and climatic conditions without a parallel
 We are told that there is an ac- cepted time. this we believe to be the ideal time to get started right and the future of your prosperity is safe The filling to overflowing of the great Roosevelt dam. which sup plies the Salt River valley, the Nile of America, with abundance of mois-
 
 throughout the year, has rightly ere ated whirlpool of enthusiasm. Everybody wears a smile and IS happy in his assurance of prosperity.
 Notwithstanding our citrus and de- licious fruits and all kinds of grain that grows abundantly and profitablY, we say without fear of successful contradiction, let dairying supple mented with the pig and hen be the main feature in yoGr farming opera tions and success will surely crown your efforts
 Don't, we beseech you, take up dairying with the same feeling that you would approach the dentists chair, if you succeed. It won't hurt you It's a work that .s not drudgery If one just makes up his mind to have it otherwise. It engages the best minds in the country, it is an industry that means more to people than any other. It is an exceeding I interesting business, none more so on the farm and you don't have to produce less grain, just feed the grain to the dairy COW, make your own market instead of hauling it to town and let the other fellow dictate the price you are to receive. Then do a little figuring and you won't have to ask anyone whether dairying pays, but get started right. It's just as necessary to get started right in the dairy busiress as in any other.
 If not in a position tc start with pure bred cows, start with a few good common cows, have them treat ed, only kept those that will pay a good Lrice fer your grain. Keep in mind all the :ime that you are en- gagng in an important industry that has a direct bearing upon the fertility
