are farms that are receiving moro
than 100000 per month from a herd
of cows which have not been bred
particularly for milk production.
Strictly dairy herds would do much
better. The fact that new creameries
are starting up and doing immense
business in all. sections indicate that
advantage is being taken ofn'this
line of farming. dss1 s&t3 -f.{
In other sections. where thers is
land not suitable for farming, beef
and even on many farms portions are
being seeded down with a view to
pasturing stock and raising feed for
them during the winter,
While the returns per acre from
land pastured is perhaps not so great
as from grain growing, the fact that
the stock will harvest the crop them
selves. leaves perhaps a greater net
return than is received on the aver
age from growing-Erain crops which
require such a large amount of labor.
Utilizing the Waste Land and Surplus
Feed !.
On many farms there is more or
less land hat could be utilized for
pasture, that is not wholly suitable
for farming purposes, or that could
De utilized for pasture more profitably
than for farming. Farms are being
divided and put into rotation. with
the idea of allowing the land to rest
up while being used as pasture. on
every farm there is also a surplus
OF roughage that should be utilized
by feeding it to live stock. This is
particularly true if itais realized that
q cultivated crop, such asfcQrn, should
be grown in order to keep the land in
proper condition and control weeds.
AS a general thing, the ordinary
force on a farm that handled a grain
crop could at the am time put up
sufficient feed to wintef a good bunch
OF stock, and 1t is being realiztd thai
more certain than some good live
stock, reasonably well cared for.
Something Growing Into Money

Safe flaming

That the older farms Of the North
west are yielding only half what they
is demonstrated by the fact
that land MANFRED, planted to corn
and given good cultivation, will yield
twice as much as land not so treated.
On our Grand Forks Demonstration
farm we have grown eight wheat
crops. the 1919 crop which was seed
ed late and rusted very badly yield
only IL bushels per acre. OF the
eight crops three were on fields be-
the rotation had reached them:
before the land had been manfred
and grown a crop OF corn, and five
crops after the land had been man
ured and grown corn. The yield of
wheat for the three years before the
rotation averaged liz bushels per
acre. The yield for the five years
after the land had been MANFRED and
grown corn, was over rs bushels per
acre. Barley and oats showed yields
IN similar proportion. This is more
than double the average or neighbor-
ing farms. Our corn, alfalfa and pas
ture fed to. cattle has been profitable,
besides enabling us to enrich the land
to the extent Of doubling u grain
Yields.
The time Of the onc-crop' small
grain farm has passed. Consequent
ly the farm that does not devote one
half to two-thirds Of the land to corn,
alfalfa and grass and keep enough
stock to utilize these feeds, is "be-
hind the times"
Live Stock Increasing in tho North
vcS Re, .ts.,H.g.
1t is very gratifying to note that
the~late census reports show an in
crease in the number Of live stock in
the Northwest. North Dakota claim
ed the distinction Of being the only
state which showed an increase in
both Dairy and beef cattle during the
uast few years. There has also been
a very encouraging increase in the
number of hogs and sheep which are
being raised and sold, and in most
cases such ventures have proven
profitable to those engaging in them.
There are in the Northwest many
thought is possible to farm p%rofitably
without live stock, and in. raany cases
left eastern states because they did
not like live stock farming. Such
men have oon come to realize that
it is as impossible to farm profitab bly,
In the Northwest without live stock,
as it was in the eastern states. These
farmers are more ready to make the
Inevitable change to diversified farm
ing, including both live stock and
grain growing. and 10 reap the re-
suits of such a change.
Every Farm Should Have 1--we Stool,
Those who have given this subject
any careful consideration must admit
that ooner or later very farm in
the Northwest must have some live
: stock. The kind of live sock will
ldepend largely on the taste and capa.
bility OF the farmer. I~4s - i

THANK YOU, MIR. DAWES.

A stout, dignified, elderly gentle
man slipped on an icy spot on the
walk and sat down unceremoniously,
to his great annoyance. He was
angry. He was not accustomed to
strong Language, and he was at a
loss for words. His face REDEEMED.
and he seemed in danger Of exploding.
A frivolous looking young man came
along and also slipped and tell. He
was under no embarrassment. He
spoke his mind forcibly and freely.
In sulphurous sentences he consigned
that particular patch Of ice to re-
gions where ice Is unknown. The
elder man heaved a sigh Of relief and
