Over in Fosston the merchants recently came together and decided that something had to be dome in order to improve the roads entering that city. After some discussion they decided to do without one of their standard forms of holiday greetings and to put the money into a road improvement fund. The mo- aey is to be spent under the direction of the Commercial club. This is a step in the right direc- tion. Heavy advertising is of little avail among the farmers unless the farmers have roads which will ad- it of travel to the markets -under ‘almost any weather conditions. ‘Good roads and good markets go hand in hand. Without the first the @econd cannot thrive. Money put into the improvement of existirg 20ads or the opening up of new roads i3 money spent in creating a better ‘home market, ‘The proposition works two ways. Not only is the farmer better able to come to town to buy, but he is better able to come and sell. For instance, if the roads are bad, . it tmay take a days’ work to haul in one load of produce. But if the roads are passible two or even three loads might be hauled in the same ‘time. The additional loads per day ‘mean a less cost per load to the far- ‘mer for hauling, more money to spend, and more time for both the town and the farm. During the past two years, Minne- sota has made great progress in good roads. With the Elwell law and the Dunn amendment to go on now, more improvement is seen for the coming years.

New York, Jan. 10.—“Sex antag- onism,” a subtle barrier that may spring up between man and wife aft- er years of seeming happiness, is the cause assigned today to the breaking up of his wedded bliss by Willis C. Stone, widely known in St. Louis, Paris and New York, as an artist, collector and dealer. Stone hasg just brought suit for divorce ° against Florence Storer Stone, who has been his wife for fourteen years, following a romantic marriage in the Latin quarter of Paris. Last summer he and their two eldest children went to their summer home at Hastings, N. Y., while Mrs. Stone with a nurse and their third child disappeared. He finally found his wife living with her mother here. They had taken in as borders two young men whom Mrs. Stone had known in Paris. It is of her rela- tions with both these boarders, a handsome youth named Louis Pays- ner, and a globe trotter, Arthur Washington, now in .Japan, that Stone bases his suit for divorce. When asked today to define “sex an- tagonism,” Stone said: “You may personally love each other—man and wife and be opposed sexually, This is the unknown rock which wrecks so many marriages, the husbands and wives themselves be- ing entirely ignorant of its existence. My wife and I only discovered this sex antagonism between us after fourteen years of married life. We had always known there was some- thing marring our seeming happiness and then we discovered what it was and there was no use trying to live together.” FIGHT FOR ARMY CANTEEN. By United Press. Washington, Jan. 10.—The old fight for the re-establishment of the icanteen in the army was again car- ried before congress today when Mrs. Alice Burbank appeared before the committee on military affairs in fav- or of the Barthold army canteen bill. She represents the wives and daugh- ters of enlisted men and presented a petition signed by 2,300 women. Sec- retary of War Stimpson, Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, Maj. Gen. Wither- spoon and other ranking officers of the army appeared in favor of the bill. DUCHESS OF CONNAUGHT ILL. By United Press. Montreal, Que., Jan. 10.—The con- dition of the Duchess of Connaught is believed to be very serious. Physic- ians may operate this evening. An automobile is kept ready to rush the duke to the hospital. It is said the duchess may as a last resort be sent to England if her strength ecan be volstered up. TURKS MAY USE RECALL.

Constantinople, Jan. 10.—It was announced late yesterday afternoon that unless the Balkan allies accept the latest terms proposed by the | Turkish peace plenipotentaries by the iend of the week, the Porte will recall its representatives from London.

Competing as the state did with six other northwestern states, all of which have produced this year, bountiful crops of grain, fruit, and vegetables, Minnesota showed to her own people and to the other state represented, that her soil, climatic conditions and geographical position, all tend to make Minnesota the most brilliant star in the firmament of the American Northwest. ' Other agricultural states, not only in the Northwest, but in other sec- tions ot the United States, are noted as specializing in certain crops. Min- nesota specializes in almost all crops. ‘Wheat, corn, oats, barley, flax, tim- othy and clover seed, potatoes, and all other root crops, stock and table vegetables, grow equally well intthis state. Minnesota won first prize onj| potatoes, in a contest embracing the seven states represented in the Northwest Development leaguc. In the Minnesota booth, were dis- played, in artistic profusion, all sheaf grains and grasses, common and native to the state. While the straw of these sheaf grains might not have been so white and beantif-1 as some of the straw represent~d in other exhibits from the dryer we:.- ern lands, the sheaf grains with the™ long straw and true colors were a credit to Minnesota; and so with the grasses. Perhaps these products were not gathered and prepared for exhibit purposes with as great care NORTHWESTERN LAND PRODUCT EXPOSITION, MINNEAPOLIS the further west states; but never- theless, Minnesota farmers who at- tended the Land Show could often be heard to say, that they were not ashamed of Minnesota, but in fact felt that she was the greatest state exhibiting at the show. Many people, even in Minnesqta. hardly realized that Minnesota could make such a wonderful competitive showing in apples. One hundred boxes of choicest Minnesota grown apples, delicious in flavor and beau- tiful in color, were on exhibit. One hundred boxes were given away on Minnesota Day at the show, and ‘it was the verdict of all, that the Min- nesota “Wealthy” apple, was in a class by itself in quality. Corn may not be “King” in Minne- sota; but it is a mighty big factor {in Minnesota agriculture. This was !clearly demonstrated in the corn feature of the exhibit. A Nebraska farmer, visiting the show, frankly admitted, that Nebraska could not raise any such corn as was on exhibit in Minneapolis. This is say- ing a good deal for Minnesota, in view of the fact that Nebraska is much farther south. The minerals of the state were giv- en a prominent place in the exhibit, and samples of ore from thirty prop- erties, owned by the - state, were shown. The Game and Fish commission contributed to the exhibit, with six large glass tanks, containing differ- ent varieties of trout, bass and other well known Minnesota fish. was especially featured by the dairy and food department of the state. The silver cups won by Min- nesota, in competition with all other states in the Union, at the National Dairy show, were on exhjbit and elicited much praise and comment from tne visiting crowds. A minia- ture dairy farm and creameries add- ed to the beauty of the general dis- play. The Minnesota Sugar company of Chaska, Minnesota, occupied about ten feet of space, with an exhibit of sugar beets and sugar beet products. One beet weighing 13 1-2 1bs., the largest on record in the state was shown. This beet grew at Renville, Minn. To convince the housewife that beet sugar is as good for can- ning and preserving as cane sugar, many jars of choice preserves and canned fruit were displayed as evi- dence. Fresh garden vegetables, includ- ind celery, ripe tomatoes, lettuce, prominent place in the exhibit, and added much to the attractiveness thereof. It has been the general con- census of opinion, that the Minnesota exhibit at the Minneapolis Land Show was a huge success. H. J. Maxfield, state immigration commissioner, who superintended the exhibit, said: “that a lively interest was manifested in the Minnesota booth at all times, and many farm- ers, both from Minnesota and also other states came to the Minnesota headquarters for information in re- 'spinach, cabbage, etc., occupied a| > LODGEDOM IN BEMIDH. o 1000006000600 0000 4. 0.

SCHROEDER'S COWS MAKE GOOD PROFIT (€ontinued from first page). last year that cost me at least $1,000 and I want you to tell every farmer you can about it. My brood sows were allowed to get too fat and as a result I lost every pig of the first litters. When the sow is too fat, the pigs have no hair and cannot stand the cold. A farmer in Iowa has told me that he exercises his brood sows for two hours each day by making them walk through the smow and then takes them back into warm quarters. His sows always give him good healthy pigs and he seldom loses one out of the first litters. I am exercising my sows this year and believe the pigs will be all right. Calves Should Come in the Fall, “Most of my cows freshen in the fall. This is done because milk and SCHROEDER’S and my help has less to do so can give more time to the care of the herd. The silage keeps them in good condition and about the time they are running low in May or June, the fresh feed makes them [ freshen up again. In July, August and September when the help is bus- iest on the farm, most of the cows are dry and require little attention. T would lose a good share of my pro- fits if my cows calved in the spring and then had to be wintered dry.” Mr. Schroeder has 200 of the 240 acres of land on his farm cleared of stumps and is keeping the forty for a wood lot. He bought the farm in April 1910 when it had but twenty acres cleared. He figures that it cost him $3,000 to clear the 180 and that the value of the farm was in- creased from $2,000, the purchase price, to $12,000 at present. His live stock, buildings and machinery bring the total value to close to $30,000. Mr. Schroeder was selected by J. J. Hill as the farmer in this vicinity DAIRY BARN. direction of the Hill experts coming season. In addition to the Great Northern five acre plot. Mr. Schroeder has at present forty-three acres in rye, and will put in sixty |acres ot‘ corn, thirty-five of oats, four for pig pasture and feed, seven to rutabagas, six to potatoes, two to alfalfa, four to-clover, and the bal- ance to hay and pasture. At the present time he has thirty- five cows, eight two year old heifers, sixteen younger heifers, omne bull, fifty-six hogs, six horses, and 175 Brown Leghorn chickens on the farm. this Next week the Pioneer will print the story of the Herman Eickstadt farm in the town of Frohn.
