The government is better ‘engaged when it instructs settlers to keep off such Jands and to leave them for forestry. Only when they occur in the vicinity of some greay city is it worth while vo in- cur the expenses involved in that practical recreation of thier soil which is necessary to convert them into good farms.—Max- well’s Talisman. The Talisman is the organ of the forestry advocates, and there- fore the above paragraph leads us to infer that northern Minne- sota is purposely misrepresented therein, In the first place the people of northern .Minnesota are not wailing, but boosting; in the second, the denuded jackpine lands which this Maxwell, who- ever he may be, would have you believe are barren, are possible of great productivity—they are rich lands which have been fertil- ized by decaying vegetation for centuries. The whole substance of the paragraph above repro- duced is buta tissue of false- hoods. The Tip of the Alligator’s Tail. A great delicacy in Florida, accord- ing to the Cleveland Leader, is the tip of an alligator’s tail. Tt tastes like frogs’ legs, though a’ bit more gamy. Alligator tails are best just after the ricebird season. The big alligators float in the water with only their eyes showing. ‘hen they see a flock of these fat, juicy little birds they dive to the bottom. Their I scoops up some of the“loami, float to the surface again with just the rich soil showing. The birds think it is an island. They alight upon it. ‘When the whole family is'there the big reptile turns suddenly. ..Just as the birds scramble off he opens his mouth once. They are gone. The birds are neat little feeders nd the alligator is an epicure at this time of the year. The ricebird diet makes the tip of his tail, of which he is most vain, tender and sweet. = . A Famous Dwarf. cy Hudson, the famous dwarf 1s introduced at court ostivities attending the an odd conceit he was in a cold pie, the crust of being vemoved ‘disclosed’ the ed and making his At the ‘which dwarf fully bow to the king and gueen. age of twenty he was eighteen inches high, but before attaining the age of thirty he grew several “inches addi- tional. Geofirey, like most dwarfs, was of limited intelligence, but of intense vanity and large self conceit. It is as- serted by many scientific authorities that this is a characteristic of dwarfs. The Thenter of Dionysus. What was probably one of the earli- est theaters built was the theater of Di- onysus, w].nch was be"uu five centuries this remar! been 30,000. The theater of Dionysus was erected when Greek art and liter: ture were in their prime. Here were presented -to appreciative spectators the wonderful works of Aeschylus, ‘Sophocles and Euripides.

There is ofie facu that should be known to every farmer and |. prospectwe settler in' this sec-| on of the state, and that is that in:order to ‘make - & ‘success of farming state, LIVE STOCK MUST BE KEPT ON THE-FARM and the sales off the farm largely in, the form of butter, meatand eggs. : ok Through the use of live stock the profit from every acre under chlbwahmn may be doubled over what it would be otherwise. This | is no theory. Ithas been proven tn be the case the world over. Wherever you find 'live stock, a.d that intelligently cared for, you find prosperous farmers; and wherever you .find but little live stock and but little attention given to its care, you tind impov- erished farms and poor farmers in every sense of the word. It is for this reason that the Experiment Station has taken up the work of dairying and . live stock; and, furthermore, for the reason that the natural conditions of Northeastern Minnesota are most favorable, especially for dairying. The work is being conducted from the most practi- cal standpoint, believing that it is not only important to work out the best system for.this. section of the state, but also (o demon- strate at thesame time the actual profit there is in the work, so that any farmer may do likewise. We commenced the work with what stock there was at hand, making no expensive outlay, but aiming to make some improve- ment each year. At the beginning of 1905 the farm animals, aside from the horses, consisted of eleven cows; fifteen head of young stock, two brood sows, twenty-five sheep ‘| and fifty chickens. The system is to grow all the rough feed on the farm—fodder- corn, bay and roots, but. to buy what bran and shorts is used. The cows are bred to begin their milking period in the fall, in October, and are milked up to the next July, when they are given a two months’ rest. The steer calves are vealed, the heifers raised for the dairy. The young pigs and lambs are had to come in April. The pigs, after weaning, are kept on clover pasture and skim milk, with a little shorts. In their seventh month they are fattened on bar- ley, peas and boiled rutabagas, and sold as bacon pork. From the two brood sows (with their first litter) fifteen pigs were raised, attaining a weight of 200 pounds at seven months. In alater publication a detailed report will be given of the profits from the different classes of live stock, and the system under which they are fed and cared for. In this report itis desired to ;| call attention especially to the profits of dairying; In 1904 we were making the change from summer to winter dairying, which necessitated carrying the cows over a year without fresh- this, a fair profit was made, as was pub- lished in a former bulletin. The record of only a few _:months is not to be considerad a ‘| real measure of either produec- /| tion or profit, but 1t will give an idea of what may be done. Dur- ing the months of November and December the dairy herd, con- sisting of thirteen cows, pro duced 740 pounds of butter, or an average of 6.2 pounds a week for each cow. Five of the thirteen cows are heifers, four in milk since May. The other cows |were fresh in October. © The value of the butter on the |1ocal market, at 27¢ a pound, was 1$199.80. The cost oi the feed for the two months $100.60, leav- |ing a net profit of $99.20, or an {§laverage net profit of $7.68 per ¢bw for the two months.’ | - The feed consisted of corn en-| . 1silage, mixed clover and timothy hay and bran.. The caows were!’ fed on an average of 38 pounds |: }of ensilage, 8 pounds of bran and, ., this.. section of the|: L . LAWYERS. - D. H.

The value of the mauure in keeping up the fertility of the soil and of the skim milk in the growing of calves and pigs is fully equal to half that of the butter. ‘While we are using ensilage this winter, which is a very cheap feed, fodder corn roots were used last winter, and with nearly as good results, and this kind of feed every farmer may have.
