At first, we were simply piling it as we went along and that cost us thirty- five cents. The last year we were on the reservation, it cost seventy-five cents to burn the brush. We had a different stand of timber then. The example Mr. Cary spoke of, I know about, and that is not an average example at all. 1 don’t think it is possible to figure it right. You can figure the cost of the extra swamper, but sometimes you have to put on two swampers. At the time we were ' compelled to pile the brush it cost| us from thirty-five to sixty cents, and after that it cost us from sixty to seventy-five cents. “Our Ideas probably difer from the | foresters.

It afterwards transpired that the owner being greatly irritated by the flannel, which was next the skin, had gone to the cemetery with the idea of getting rid of it, which he could not do without shedding his garments.

Do You Expect to Plant Grain Seed? Now is the time to buy your supply of seeds. Perhaps no other concern in Northern Min- nesota is selling as much seed as W. G. He is offering to the public only NORTHERN GROWN seed, which msures sure crops. ' A complete supply of both package and bulk seed is now on display. Among the seed grains we have ALFALFA, TIMOTHY, KEN- TUCKY BLUE GRASS, CLOVER, etc., Seed Grains, Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats, etc. I wish to call your attention to the fact that I have a fresh clean stock of timothy, blue grass, clover and alfalfa. I have always had a reputation of keeping the best seeds. I intend to sustain this reputation, and I have bought the best seeds that money would procure. The price is with me always a secondary consideration when compared with quality, and in this case I selécted the best from all samples submitted to me, 98 per cent. government test.

COMPTON IN GREAT LUCK Story That Conveys Moral to Man Called Upon to Give Advice to His Wife. Mrs. Compton had laid out four dreases on the guestroom bed, and be- fore breakfast she led her husband in to look at them. “Now you know bhow much I rely on your taste, Henry,” she said. “I want you to de- cide which one of these I shall wear to Mrs. Darnley’s luncheon today. | Please say exactly what you think.” Mr. Compton hesitated, and thea “Now that blue,” he began, “isn’t t— § Yes, dear, it 1,” said Mrs. Comp- ton, and she the blue gown on & chair. - “It's too dark altogether.” “Then there’s the black,” and her husband frowned thoughtfully. “Of courge—" “Yes, of course,”—and Mrs. Comp- ton tossed the black gown after the blwe one—“it's handsome enough and light enough, with that gold neck, but it's beginning to show wear.” Mr, Compton breathed heavily. The real test was at hand. A fawn-col- ored gown and a gray one were left. “Well, I don't pretend to be a judge. of these things,” he said, playing for time. “I only know what I like. That gray dress seems to me just a lit- tle—er—more—s—" “There! I knew I could depend on you!” And Mrs. Compton joyfully flung aside the gray gown. “It is more severe, and the style’s a bit trying. I shall wear the fawn-colored one, and glad to know you chose it for “Whew!” sald Mr, Compton, as he fled downstalrs. “Suppose I'd been & Httle quicker and got out that ‘suit- able.’ It’s a lesson to a man to be de- liberate when he’s giving advice to his wife.”—Youth’s Companion.

Itis STOCK ON DRY FARMS Crops Are Made More Sure ana Produotive. # Has Been Found After Many Years of Experience That There Is Much Money In Keeping 100 Head or So of Cattle. The dry land farmer should raise Hve stock because feed crops are more sure and productive and at the same time greatly reduce the cost of mar- keting the products of the farm. In my farming and stock raising opera- tions, I had for Some Years = access to free range, but ‘the country in my Immediate vicinity was finally all set- tled upon and naturally I had to eom- fine myself to my owa farm in my stock raising operations, writes W. F. Gardner, in the Denver Fleld and Farm. After having the free range to myself for so long I, like many oth- ors in the west, thought I had heen put out of business by the new set tlers, but how easy it is for a fellow to adjust himself to.conditions, if he will get his head to work. After a good: many years’ ‘experience I find that there is more 'money in keeping. one hundred head of better stock, bet- ter fed and cared for, with a small per cent. of loss, than there was in keep- ing the same numper on the open range; and the morg organic matter I have put into my . the more :qw- Ter"Whaell dFouth ¢omes. raise live-stock more cheaply than the farmers in the more humid sections of the country from the fact that our soil and olimate are peculiarly adapted to the ralsing of that most wonderful forage plant, alfalfa, a nitrogen gath- erer and an enricher of the soll, a sub- sofler and, when fed with corn, a bal- anoed ration. Alfalfa is king in the west and goes hand in hand with live stock. In many seotious dairying is rapidly’ gaining on horticulture and is bringing in more money than any oth- er industry. The dairymen are. con- siderh fertility of their soil, the lcan people. Probably the best rea- son for western farmers going into the dairy business is the faot that| people in & new ocountry must accept| & system of farming that will bring| quick returns in actual cash. The stock business will do this quicker than horticulture, especially dairying, years to bring an orchard into bear- Ing.- To my mind, the best farmer and the one who will certainly succeed, is he who keeps live stock. When the horticulturist in the near future is buying high-priced fertilizer to raise the mame fruit in quantity and qual- ity that he raised when the soil was virgin; the stockman’s farm will be as tertile and more productive than when he first turned the sod as nature left it. The man who goes into a new and untried country, bullds a home and opens up a new farm and by intelll gence and close attentlon to business succeeds fn converting that plece of 71l lan 'filzm are in a position to |~ greatest asset remaining to the Amer- | because it takes from flve to seven | nok only & “successful miad, but hae slipwn himself to be a benefactor of his race and it will be many years In thig country before the life work of suth a man will be given the recog: nitlion it so justly deserves. Cattle railsing is profitable even during the prasent times of high-priced land, higt prilced help and high-priced feed. Of comrse the farmer must look after anc praperly care for his live stock in the be:st possible manner. The raising of stcick works nicely with other farm opérations and a good' profit can be made if the animals are fed in the proper ‘way—there is so much goo¢ feed that would be actually wasted or the farm if live stock were not kept I do not give my stock any high priced feed and yet always aim to keeg ‘them thrifty. I plan to feed economi cally. There is some feed in whea: straw and oat straw 18 good and the stock is converting it all into fertility to be added to the land. Many logi cal.reasgons can be given why the dry farmer should keep live stock. The first essential in dryfarming is ar ample supply of moisture in the soi and the keeping of live stock on the fnm will add to Its water ecarryiny pacity, because the more live stock ept an the farm the more manure and: organic matter will the farme) havie to. incorporate into the soil. I' is un assured fact that the more hu murs the soll contains the more mois turch will it hold. The more live stock the farmer keeps, the greater the in ducement to ralse a larxe_r acreage o) forzige and cultivated crops of whict cory would prnbnbly be the main one experience in farming twenty-sever years in the semi-arid country is that it pays to put half the land into a cul tivated crop every vear. If fed to live stock, corn is the best paying crop, speaking from a money standpoint ané . saying nothing about what it does to ward keeping up the fertility of the soil by the better cultivation given angd the greater amount of ‘manure made This is farming and not mining the farm as is done by the raising of small grain and carting away the fer tlity of the soil to the elevator.

One rancher sald he saw one covey of quail that must have contain- ed 5,000 birds. 2 “They were 8o thick the sun light was shut out when they flew past,” he satd. “The quall are very wise,” he continued, “and hunters find trouble In shooting them, while trapping is - still more difficult.”—Los Angeles cor- NIDOIIM“ Ban !'uulm Chroglole:
