ing an effort to establish good sweet
clover pastures and growing alfalfa,
in order that the cows be supplied
with good pastures during the sum-
mer and good roughage during the
winter. Feed is very essential if the
dairy project in any community is to
be successful.
All of the seven car loads intro
duced into Barnes county have been
tested for tuberculosis and a portion
of them have been re-tested after a
go day period.
. There is very little probability that
the dairy industry will be overdone in
North Dakota or the United States,
for the reason that milk and dairy
products are the best balanced foods
that we have. That there is con-
tinuous growing demand for good,
clean, wholesome dairy products. If
necessary it is believed that educa-
tional campaigns can be put on to
increase the amount Of dairy products
used. Where this method has been
followed : the consumption Of dairy
products have been increased almost
three times. ~. s ''.. T., .y,.2 3
At a recent meeting Of medical men
in: England, a statement was made
and concurred in by the medical men
present, that no family Of five should
buy pound of meat before the fam
lily was first supplied with 3 quarts
of milk. Other illustrations that
might be given go to show that as
people become more and more familiar
with the Importance Of milk, as
food, that the consumption will be
greatly increased and there will be
corresponding demand for the pro-
duct. In addition to supplying the
food elements necessary for the
growth of children and young ami
mails, milk is especially valuable be-
cause it contains vitamines that can
not be supplied as well in any other
food. Vitamines are necessary to the
health and growth Of children and
young animals.
From the start made last fall, it is
expected that in the next few years
Barnes county will have large num-
Der of excellent dairy herds and that
the income from dairy products will
rapidly increase in the country. The
milch cow has brought prosperity to
a number of states in the union; she
has brought prosperity to a number OF
communities in North Dakota and
she will do the same thing, with the
proper care and management, for any
community in Barnes county. I"

INCREASE IN
DAIRY COWS

How much Barnes county contribut-
ed to the 78 per cent increase in the
number Of dairy cows in North Da-
kota in ten year period is shown by
the following figures. taken from the
federal census reports showing the
number Of dairy animals reported in
Barnes county in 1910 and 1920:
~ ~ Total number Of dairy. cows
in 1910, 7,4O6, in 1920, 1914.
(2) Per cent Of increase in ten
years 1926.
(3) The total value of dairy pro-;
ducts sold in 1910 was $155,321, and
in 1920 s535,9O2.
Comparing this with some Of the
counties in Minnesota there is found
to be very vast contrast regarding
the incomes from counties in this
state and counties in Minnesota. Last
year Stearns county paid the farmers
nearly $3;O0OO0O for dairy products,
St. Louis county $2,5oo,oo0. Barnes
county has not made the progress that
some other counties in North Dakota
have made for the reason that the
census show that in 1910 Barnes coun-
ty ranked ninth in the number Of
dairy cows, and in 1920 twenty-fifth.
In 1910 this county ranked seventh in
the valuation of dairy products and
ninth in 1920. The state, as whole,
however, made rapid progress in the
dairy industry.
The number of cows kept for milk
in North Dakota in 1910, according to
County Agent, T. X. Calnan, was CIV
en- by the federal census as 259,173,
while the number Of dairy cows in
1920, including heifers one year old
and over, 461, ,o9S, an increase Of 2o1,-
920 or 1919 per cent.
North Dakota stood second among
all the states Of the nation in the per-
centage Of gain in the 10 year period,
being surpassed only by Montana,
while in the actual number Of cows
gained, it was fourth, being surpassed
by Wisconsin, Minnesota and New
York. .. Z. ....=,.s - :, - s,.tsst
ID Last fall seven car loads Of high
grade and purebred Holstein cows
were 3hipped into Barnes county. Two
car loads going to Rogers, two to Leal,
two to to Kathryn and Hastings and one
to Dazey. These cowsswere purchas-
ed for a comparatively small number
of farmers. The plan being that
farmers buying cows secure sutti-
cient number to make dairying a part
of the business. BY following this
plan, dairy breeders could develop
breeding circuits and purchase good
high producing sires. The few car
loads purchased last fall were to be
actual demonstrations Of what the
dairy cow could do in this county.

was found that cows producing
pounds of butter fat per day were
only being fed one-half to three
fourths pounds of fat. The propor-
ton Of proteins and carbohydrates
correspond with the fat given the
mich cows. Under that condition OF
feeding it would be impossible for a
cow to continue to give two pounds
of butter fat per day. Farmers Sc

THE Unloved Wife" is a SYM

play of the American home, exquis-

in many respects n of the most
noteworthy productions given to a

play concerning the important ques-
ton, How much deception should
a wife tolerate on the part of her
husband?" Indeed, before the play
is over, the problem has developed
into the question Has every mar
ried man a double personality?
There are sufficient thrills to fill any
evening and the various mysteries
are dangled temptingly enough be-

like a little animal. Its needs are
purely physical. 1t wants regular
food, sleep and shelter but it doesn't
make any difference who provides
this-mother or nurse.
But 1t ean a great deal for a
woman to have the spiritual devel-
opment that comes from caring for
the little body she has created.
After Pearl Odelrs baby was born,
it was taken to the cell with the
mother. The prison walls may have
shut out the old world that Pearl
Odell knew-and knew to her sor-
row-but the coming of her baby
created a new one, in finitely more
wonderful than anything she had
over dreamed Of outside-a world
populated only by herself and her
child. The attendants say that
motherhood made a model prisoner
Of her.
No matter how great the torture
is when Naomi is taken away in
September, nothing can take away
the memory of these two happy
years. And Pearl Odelrs final ref
! ormation may be accomplished by
her child rather than by her incar-
ceration.

At Crescent

At Crescent
"Conceit" is the title of the latest
Selznick Special to be shown at
Crescent Theatre today, tomorrow
and Saturday. In it is TO be found
a construction of plot and a method
of presentation that is a marked
departure from the conventional.
The action centers around a man
who, UP to a certain period in his
life, has been enabled by the power
of money. to acquire anything he
desired. He is placed in a position
where his wealth means nothing
and he is forced to revert to the
primitive. The change works a
great transformation in his char
acter and he emerges a new man,
shorn of all petty selfishness and
weakness. Michael J. Phillips wrote
the story under its original title,
THE Toll of the Wilderness"
which has been enjoyed by thou
sands OF magazine readers.
Set amid surroundings of great
beauty and photographed in one of
Natures beauty spots, Lake Louise
and Banff, Canada, "Conceit" has
everything that goes to make a
p~hotoplay success.
The vaudeville show in connec
ton with this program consists of
the following acts: Maurice Samuels
& Company in "A Day in Ellis ISL

lady in William Tell; Jackson &
