saw several very large early white
potatoes which were grown on the
farm and was told that he also has a
good crop of fall potatoes. BY the

Agriculture, to be successful. must
be managed along scientific lines and
the farmer who disregards that fact
will fail. The time of hit and miss
farming has passed. I am pleased
to state that l find nearly all of the
farmers in this county fully aware Of
that fact and are applying modern
methods in their work.
Goodness gracious Agnes, how in
the world are you going to keep the
stencil from the milk if you allow the
milk to stand around in foul smelling

might sell at premium. Ventilate
the barns. let the sunshine in and the
stencil pass out
August Mesenbrink has a new silo
on the farm two miles south of Deni-
son. 1t is 12X24, and, while not as
large as many silos that have been
built in the county this year, it will
be found profitable investment, new
er-the-less. l am always pleased to
see a silo on the farm, for know
they have proven themselves to be
worth considerable more than they
cost to the farmers who have been
using them where l came from.
Peter Stevenson purchased farm
two miles south Of Denison last year
and his son. Fred, has been farming
it this season. A lot of new fencing
is now being done and many other
needed improvements made. Among
them has been the grading and level

corn crib, 24x32, and new location
for the granary. An addition was
made to the north side and west end

3 August Hansohn owns two farm

II. A., farms the north farm and Al
bert the south farm. A hog house

this fall. A large vegetable and storm
cave will be built on the south farm.

each other in the work, which is the
proper spirit for either brothers or
neighbors.
A. J. Clausen has been raising pure

Herman Reimer, who farms the

DelOit, informed me that his Marcus

half bushels to the acre, That was
certainly good yield and at present
prices will swell his bank account to
a very satisfactory amount. | have

profitable crop. Perhaps this en-

an increased acreage next season.
