The plan was inaugurated, he said, as a part of the diversified farming movement in the Northwest. The 7,000 acre Hackney neh, near McKenzie, Burleigh county, has been Jeased to the company, and W.

The children burned are: Mildred, 10; Addie. 5; Leo, 3; Wilma, one year old. The tragedy occurred about 7 o’clock this morning. The father had arisen, built a fire in the range in the one-story house and took a boy, Fred- die, aged 7, to the barn with him to do the chores. A little later he looked out to see the house enveloped in flames. Mr. Davenpert rushed to the house, but was unable to penetrate the smoke and flames which barred is way at the door. In desper- ation, he broke through a window and pulled out the first child he could find, who wa vi n, aged 9, according to_n Later after frantic efforts he succeeded in getting the body of his wife rom the house, The fire is believed to have been caused by an overheated stove, a strong wind probably preventing the smoke from issuing from the chimney.

One of the chief difficulties faced by farmers, he said, was in the purchase of cattle, quoting one Minnesota farmer saying there were as many tricks in cattle trading ag in the old days of horse trading. It was almost a quarter of a cen- ugo that Mr. Hackney began ding cows on his Arden farms St. Paul. His experience there he said, showed that dairying is a long-time proposition and ‘ought to be gone into carefully by farmers. He cited his experience. He put | scrub cows on his Arden, farms which were tested from the start, and averaged 160 pounds of butter and 1,000 pounds of milk per year, Next he sired scrub cows with purebred Holstein bulls and the resultant pro- duction averaged 300 pounds of but- ter per year and 6,000 pounds of milk. Then he bought 20 registered Holsteins, which averaged 500 pounds of butter and 8,000 pounds of milk he a year, He went another step. said, and bought one of the g Holstein sires in the country, 1 ty-five daughters average over pounds of butter per year and 2 pounds of? milk. All cows, he serted, were given substantially as the same feed but blood told in produc- tion, His organization now has the Minnesota State Fair Ground, said, and has 8,000 orders for cows. The difficulty, he said, not to sell the cows, but to find the right kind to sell. He proposes to build a high- ly trained organization, with the primary duty of purchasing cows for farmers desiring to enter the dairy dren were sleeping when enveloped by the flames, and may have been suffocated by smoke before being burned to death. Neighbors saw the fire and rush- ed to the farm but could not save the house. M Davenport was said to be about 30 years old. The fam had resided in the neighborhos about 10 miles north of Regan for many years, and was well known. The burned boy, William, was brought to the Bismarck hospitai here late this morning. He was in- terviewed by local officials, and in- formed them, Coroner Gobel sai, that he was aroused by scream of others, saw his mother with her clothes ablaze, and himself jumped out of a window, and saw his fathe trying to get in the house.

McIntosh County Mr. Hackney cited that 25 years ago, when he sold railroad ignd in McIntosh county, John Wishek, Ash- ley banker, proposed a creamery be established. It was, and McIntosh county, he sald, is ranked as the best-off county in North Dakota be- cause of dairying. Mf.
