No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place - that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would.

Even the statute revision com- mittee takes a hand in it, and has inserted a provision by which anyone may be made to be a candidate providing his name is presented by five voters, The principle on which the primary law is based is alright— all members of a party should have the same opportunity to as- sist in the nomination of candi- dates. But in actual practice it is found that the law_multiplys the opportunity of the politician to play sharp tricks on the peo- ple. For instancein the effort to defeat a certain candidate ina county not a thousand miles from Beltrami, nine candidates were brought out in different parts of the county. The end schemed at by the politicans was accom- plished and a man was chosen by less than 20 per cent of the total vote. The change made in the law by the statute revision com- mittee multiplys this opportu- nity of the politician indetinitely. If it were desired to make a fight on a particularly strong candi- date he could be almost certainly defeated by entering other can- didates from every one of his strongholds. The evolution of a satisfactory primary is going to be a matter of time and much experience; the law making attempted by the statute revision committee cer- tainly does not help any. S0 LONG as & man is imperfect we shall probably continue - to meet with experiences like that of the Oberlin and Faribault bank cases. Both of them, however, are strong in suggestions for the improvement of our banking laws and the difficulties placed in the way of such happenings will doubtless be redoubled.

Grand Rapids, Minn. February 1905. During the summer months when cows can run on pasture it is easy to see that dairying pays, but in winter when the farmer can sell his hay for $10 or $12 per ton and has to pay from $18 to $20 per ton for bran it seems an- other question. Space will not permit me to explain the advantages of winter dairying or show how we can make winter dairying as profit- able here as in the southern' part of the state, We cannot buy feed and ‘'make dairying pay, but we can raise it and this is what we must do. Let me emphasize again tht the only way we can sell' our hay and grain is in the form of a finished product. The cows on the experiment farm this winter are paying $15 per ton for the hay they are fed. In other words the butter we sell from the cows ; i would pay for the hay at the rate of $15 per ton after paying for the grain they get at the' market price. The point is this: sell your hay and grain to you cows, not to the man in town. If you care for your cows rightly they will pay you more in butter for the feed they consume than any market. | The skim milk will grow hogs: at a good profit and the manure will keep up the fertility of the farm so that each year a better crop may be raised than the last. Remember this one point if no other. If you continue to sell all your hay and grain on the mar- ket each year you will soon have none to sell. Farmers who have twenty yvears even in the Red river valley where the soil is the richest in the country have most- ly failed and are now turning tc ToeE United States senate would probably like to pass a law prohibiting cartoons. . Perfect Confidence. Where there used to be a feel- ing of uneasiness and worry in the household when a child show- ed symptoms of croup, there is now perfect confidence. This is owing to the uniform success of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in the treatment of that disease. Mrs. M. I. Basford of Poolesville Mad., in speaking of her experi- ence in the use of that remedy says: “I havea world of confi- dence in Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for I have used it with perfect success. My child Gar- land is subject to severe attacks of croup and it always gives him prompt relief.” For sale at Bark- er’s drug store. g THE CHURCHES % There will be no preaching ser- vice at the Presbyterian church tomorrow.

Don’t let us spend twenty years of our lives in trying what other farmers haye failed tol make profitable under more fav- orable conditions. Go out to the barn and look at that poor old half starved shivering cow that you have there and recognize your salyation. .Go on cutting cord wood during the day and get your farm cleaned up butf give the old cow a little more care and attention morning and even- ing and in the course of a few years when the cordwood and lumber are gone you will havea farm a means of support. In past bulletins I have simp- ly given results of the work carried on at the Northeast Ex- periment Station. I shall now take up an outline of a system of farming for this section of the state. This system will not be theoretical, it will not be new, buta system in practice almost everywhere, where farm- ers are successfil and prosper- ous, and which the work of the Expirement Station shows to be practical for northeastern Minuesoia. When we sell such products as hay, grain, ete., we sell the fertility of the soil, and unless this is returned in some form the soil will in time cease to produce The truth of this may be seen iu many of the eastern states where thonsands of farms lie deserted, completely worn out through an unwise system of farming. Tt is a well kgown fact that wherever live stock are kept in considerable number the farm- ers are well to do. In England, Denmark and such countries ‘where the raising of live stoek and dairying are foremost in followed this system for the past |g. A, B, ing the nature of our soil here which is for the most part sandy, it becomes absolutely necessary to meke dairying and stock raising the principal part of our feumma The farmer who dlsregards this fact and goes on raising grain without manuring his fields will. ina shert time find his soil drifting along the road like snow in winter. A sandy farm once in this condition is very hard to again get under control, but if we begin right and keep up the humus of the soil from the start all will be well Now for dairying. There are three special reasons why we iould dairy in northeastern Minnesota. 1st. The farms must necessarily be small and a well cared for herd of cows is most protitable for the small farm. 20d. The country is especially favorable for the ¢growing of clover, fodder corn and roots which makes the best and most economical feed for dairying. 8rd. Cows will get (Continued on page 3.)
