North to There is again taik of a north and south railroad to run: from Mora via Mille Lacs Jake and on to Grand ; Rapids or some other point in. north- ern Minnesota. The Aitkin Age states that surveyors are now in that vicinity and are going over the old survey made many years ego. An- other corps of rurveyors are expected to arrive next week and the Age thinks there 1s no question but what they intend going oyer the whole line from Mora to Mille Lacs, Aitkin, Hill City and Grand Rapids. Although they are working secretly, enough has been learned to indicate that they are jn the employ of the Chicago. Milwauke & St. Paul Rail- road. The probabilities are that the work is being done for the Great Northern, the intimation that they are in the employ of another road being thrown out only fora blind. It 1s natural to expect that when a road 1s built over this survey it will be the Great North- jern as Mr. Hill would not let this | terntory be wrested from him by an- otter line. A report comes from. Duluth which would confirm this belief to the effect that a double crew of surveyors in the employ of the Great Northern are | working on a line to run Mora through to Beaudette in the Rainy River country. A north and south railroad has got to be an old . _Kanabec: county, but it may be that it is coming at last. The road, {if built, would be of very htde beuefit to Mora but would, no doubt, do much to aid in opening up the north- ern part ofthe county and the lake country.—Moia ‘Times, School Attendence for January, First grade, Mrs. Clara ‘irove, en- roliment, 41, attendance 92 per cent; Ist grade, Miss Mattie Wheeloc n- roliment, 49, attendance, 90 per cent; 2nd grade, Miss Mitnie Fedi, enroll- ment 46, attendance 94 per cent; 2nd grade, Mrs Elizabeth Huntly, en- rollmen endance 94 per cent; Hl 8s Minnie Aiton, enroll- attendance 91 percent; 4th grade, Miss Esther Levy, enrollment 53, attendance, 96 per cent; 5th grade, Miss Mable Edmunds, enrollment 51, attendance 65 per cent; 6th grade, Mary McMahon, enrollment, 43, at- tendance 92 per cent, 7th grade, Miss Margaret Connell, 29, attend- ance 97 per cent; 8th grade, Miss Olga Wetzel, enrollment 28, attend- ance 88: ane school, Miss Claribel Chappell attendance 96.

Bulletin No. 44 by Superintendent Me- Guire of Grand Rapids Experiment Station Discusses Potato Culture. In pist bulletins I have.simpiy given results of ‘the work carrid on at the Northeast Experiment Station. I shall now take up an outlive of a system of farming for this section of the state. This system will not be theoretical, it will not be new, buta system in practice almost every where, where farmers are successful and prosperous, and which the work of the Experiment Station shows to be practical for northeastern Minnesota. When we sell such products as hay, grain, etc., we seil the fertility of the soil, and unless this is returned in some form the soil will in time se to produce. The truth of this may be seen in many of the eastern states where thousands of farms lie de- serted, completely worn out thru anu unwise system of farming. It is a well known:fact that where- ever live stock are kept in consicer- able number the farmers are well to do. In England, Deumark and such countries where the raising of live stock and dairying are foremost in farming the soil is even more fertile than it wasa hundred yearsago. The reason for this is that the hay and grain grown on the farm is fed to the farm animals and sould in the form of butter, meat, eggs, etc., while the fertility which it contains is largely returned to the soil inform of manure Considering the nature of our soil here which is for the most part sandy, it becomes absolutely necessary Lo. make dairying and stock raising the principal part of our farming. | The farmer who disregards this fact and goes on raising grain without manur- ing his fields will in a short time find his soil drifting along the roud like snow in winter. A sandy farm once inthis condition is very hard to agair get under control, but if we begin right. and keep up the humus of the soil from the start ail will be well. Now for dairying. There are three special reasons why we should dairy in northeastern Minnesota. Ist. The farms must neccessarily be small and a well cared for herd of cows is most profitable for the small farm. 2nd. The country is especially favorable for the growing of clover, fodder corn and roots which makes the best and most ecovomical feed for dairying 3rd. Cows will get oub among the stumps and bruch and along the streams and lakes and bring in a little harvest every day in the form of milk from this land which brings no other profit to the farmer till cleared and put under the plow. With cows there is a profit aside fron, the butter sold. Calves and pigs can be raised on the skim milk Barley, peas and roots may be grown for fattening, and with skim milk as good a bog or steer calf may be raised asin the corn growing districts. The one discouraging feature in raising hogs and ste that there is not a good home market, and the freight rates very high tor shipping. The beef trust’ supplies the home market and crowds the local farmers out. Its getting so that a farmer has to beg a butchers pardon before he can him to buy his steers and hog ae In dairying the farmers with their co-operative creameries can ship th butter to the best markets of country. We need the co-operation among the farmers of northern Min- nesota. Thru dairying it will be brought about most readily. The co-operative meat market will follow the creamery and the farmer may dispose of his hogs and steers to as good advantage as his butter. Let us begin by getting a few good cows on every farm. The cows such as we bave will do only we want more of them, and a little more belief on the part of the farmer that they will pay. In my next article, a continug- tion of this bulletin, I will show what the cows are doing on the Experiment Farm. A. J. McGuire. fists and everything behind nothing isentered on this list. But they’ve skipped another fellow, of whom nothing has been said—the fellow whe is even of a little ways ahead, who always pays for what be gets, whose bill is always signed—he’s « blamed sight more important than is the man behind. All we editors and merchants and the whole commercial clan, are indebted four existance to this honest ooble man. He keeps ua all in business and his town is never dead, so I take my hat off to the many who is ahead.—Exchange,
