LIKE FEEDING cows IN DARK
Wisconsin Farmer Praises GOVT est

10 Better paIryIne.

when l bought my farm two years
ago there was a herd of scrub cows
on It," writes a Wisconsin farmer to
a field agent of the dairy division,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. II Joined the contrasting associ-
alton. and soon found that my scrub
cows we're a failure, so / disposed Of
them and bought some purebred and
grade Holsteln cows. The cow-test-
ing association is a guide-hoard on
the way to better dairying and big
saving in feeds, as one can feed TO
so much better advantage where the
production is known. Trying to feed
without records Of your cows is like
feeding In the dark"

In q conversation with Manager
Thomas of the Dakota Central, he
SAYS that the business with this sta
ton has far exceeded the 1904 bust
ness and is increasing right along.
A. w. Shone, who was the principal
organizer of the Market Day sales,
has been making arrangements to
make this affair still more popular.
With this in view it has been deemed
advisable to make the sale day the
first Saturday in the month instead
Of the first Wednesday as hereto

little better known today than it was

The swamp is old historically. The

There ara deer in the woods, but
It Is the wild cattle that give the best

a Little Love Story.

A dreamer and a man Of action

II shall write verses in her praise !;
they will touch her vanity and she
will love me for them"
But the man of action said "HOw
old fashioned. shall corner the
stock market, aud that will bring

So the dreamer wrote verses, and
he induced a friend of his, who ran a
ten-cent magazine to print them. And
the man Of action cornered something
or other and became il ~bi'lionaIce.
In the meantime the girl married a
man who inherited his money, antl
lived happy ave after.

WE overheard the conversation c

WE overheard the conversation of
four Or five school boys, who lived in
the country: Some Of them stayed in
the city and the others had to drive
each day. The conversation was the
s.farm" and the discussion was both
pro and anti, but mostly anti. BE
lieye me, / am going to get oil the
farm as soon as | can and stay off.
No farming for me-" and this seemed
to be approved by most of the boys.
One OF them, however, was a pro and
he tried vainlv to convince the others
that they would be making a poor
move to leave the farm. After the
others had OF we asked him why
he was contented on the farm. He
told us that his father had given him
a pig, a calf, some chickens and that
next year he was going to rent" ten
acres from his father and SO he could
not leave the farm and leave these
things behind. There we have it.
There Is a father who knows how farm
life looks to the hoy under the usual
conditions, and there is a father who
has thot out a remedy that has sue
ceeded. What boy would leave the
farm il he had something else besides
hard work. with very little pay, to
keep him there. Every boy has a real.
isation of the responsibility Of run
ming a farm and if he has but Il small
share OF the responsibilities, he viii
have i bond that will keen him ON the
farm. Why don't you try it out Nh
Farmer, you whose IONS have left the

and offer them a share OF the respon.

before it is too late? Isn't it a so

ing with the farmers of Minnesota
and other states or may wish to con-
duct and oIrrate, themselves, a Co
operative elevator at some terminal
point.
Through q system Of comparatively
owned elevators throughout the nation
there would be gen to the farmer
a powerful leverage in determining
what the price Of his product should
be.
"CoOperatively owned elevators in
addition to being effective instru-
ments in price regulation, would con-
fer other advantages that are very APP
parent. 1t would give the farmer the
opportunity of cleaning, drying and
re-mixing his grain at cost. 1t would
give him the further opportunity OF
selling his product in lots OF n mil
lion and five million bushels, which
is a great advantage. 1t would also
afford storage facilicties and the OPP
portunity of borrowing money or
warehouse receipts at a low rate OF
interest.
81 therefore recommend to the leg
islatu1ee that in the event the farmer
eN press a desire, through their cooper
ative organizations, to organize q
cooperative terminal elevator COM

for live stock, wool and other agri-

GOVERNOR Mem AsTER in his

first message to the legislature takes
up the farming interests and states
that as these interests compose %
large 4 proportion Of the business Of
the state whatever al be done in the
way Of legislation, should be done to
help them. He says
ssThe one great problem Of the
agricultural interests, not only Of So.
Dakota but Of America, is the market
ing problem. This problem is Of gi-
gantic proportions and its full solution
involves many complex and perplexing
questions and q coordination of the ac-
tivities Of innumarable units composed
Of millions Of farmers, while its mon
etary phase involves, annually, billions
Of dollars.
~No single business in America is
comparable to it in magnitude or im-
pOrtanCe. To discuss this question
n al Of its intricate and complex
phases, or to set forth in q compre-
hensive way all or the proposed solu-
tions, emanating from many sources
time will not permit.
1.-THE consenus of opinion is that
the following constitute the essential
factors Of the problem:
First, opening Of foreign markets
Tor bur surplus products;
Second, transportation;
Third, cost Of production;
Fourth, storage facilities;
Fifth, credits.
The leading representatives Of the
agricultural interests in one state
may have very definite and pronounc-
