That this section is destined to! be a great dairy section is now well understood by all thinking! farmers. All the natural conditions point to dairying. Let us start right, for no matter how favorable nature 1s man must do his part. At the Farmers’ Institute the farm- ers will hear Mr. McGuire talk on this subject. He has carefully worked out a system of dairying that is giving him big cash returns. How to getthe most cash out of ! our cows, out of the cows that we now have—is what we most want to know. How: to properly raise and feed our calves so as to make good, profitable cows out of them, how to| use the skim milk to best advantagel asa hog feed, and many of the small but so important points in the care of the cow will be explained. | It will pay you to come and listen. | Bemidji Friday Dec. 4. i The business men of Bemidji are| arranginZ to make the forthcoming Farmers Institute the best ever held in this vicinity. W. R. Mackenzie, the chairman of the commercial club committee, has charge of the arrangements for the institute, which will be held at the city hall on December 4. There will be two sessions, one in the fore- noon and one in the afternoon, and every farmer in Beltrami county should make it a point to be present if possible. “T. ).” Is Generous. Bemidji, Nov. 18. The Pioneer:—Please correct an error mnde in issue of 16th inst. When T. J. Miller accompanies a party of friends to the woods for a hunt, it is understood tnat all mem- bers of the party share and share alike, in the expense of the tiip, as well as in theglory of the Kkill, if glory there be, and to bring down one of the “Monarchs of the Forest” | is glory in itself. And when I asked you to step into the express car to look at that mam- | moth pair of antlers, I was pleased indeed to note that you did not even ask, “who fired the shot?”. That a shot was fired by a member of the| party isevident, and as you uninten- tlonally gave me the credit of the kill, I wish to say for the benefit of | the other members of the party (con sisting of my friends, Rev.]. Denis ton, S. B. Bailey and S. D. Works)"! that T. J. Miller did not fire the i shot that killed the moose. All of the members of the party but one had come into camp for the night, after a very hard day’s tramp, and were about camp duty, getting supper, when, just out of the camp, not more than sixty rodsaway, we heard a shot, and again another, and after a prause of about three moments another shot. Soon a member of | what excited, with the exclamation, Iy Come on, boys; -get your knives; I’ve got a monster moose.” Judging from the weight of head and antlers which weighed in Kelliher 130 lbs; and the hide, moose, before dressing, would weigh 12 to 14 hundred lbs.

The “Big Bemidg” basketball team will play a game Friday even- ing against the Bemidji High school basketball team, and it is pretty certain that the game will be a good one. The high school team is composed of the boys who played on the foot- bali team, including Gill, Stanton, Kreatz, Boyer, Kruse, Humdrom, Brenneman, Gould and others, all of dition. The boys only need proper coaching and practice in the game to make a very fast basketball bunch. Most of these boys played on last year’s high school basketball team, which was a very good organization. The “‘Big Bemidg” team is prac- \ticing diligently and getting into shape for a strenuous schedule. Lovers of basketball should see the game Friday night. O'Kelliher Sells Store. E. N.
