North to There is again talk of a north and south railroad to run. from Mora via Malle 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 2go. 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 in 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 ts built over this survey it will be the Great North- ern as Mr. Hill would not let this terntorv be wrested from him by an- other 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 north Geaudette in the Rainy River country.’ A north and {south railroad has. got. to be an old Kanabee: county, but it may. oming at 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 of the county and the lake country.—Moia Times, School Attendence for January, First grade, Mrs. Clara ‘rove, en- roliment, 41, attendance 92 per cent; Ist grade.

Bulletin No. 44 ae Sispiiibtedint Me- Gilire of Grand Rapids Experiment Statiou Discusses Potate Culture. In pyst bulletins 1 have.simply given results of ‘the work carrid on at the Northeast Experiment Station. I shall now take up an outline 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 sell the fertility of the soil, and unless this is returned in some form the soil will in time cease 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 au 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, Denmark and such countries where the raising of live stock und dairying are foremost in farming the soil is even more fertile than it was a hundred yearsago. ‘The reason for this is that the hay and grain grown on the farm is fed to the farm animals and sold in the form of butter, meat, eggs, etc., while the fertility which it contains is largely returned to the suil inform of manure Considering the nature of our soil here which is for the most part sandy, it becomes absolutely necessary to. 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 road like snow in winter... A sandy farm onte inthis condition is very hard to a 2 get under control, but if we begiu 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 economical feed for dairying 3rd. Cows will get oub among the stumps and bruch and along the streatus and Jakes 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. alves 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 as in the corn growing districts. The one discouraging feature in hogs and steers is that there is not a good home market, and the freight rates very high for 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 ask him to buy his steers and hogs In dairying the farmers with their co-operative creameries can ship their butter to the best markets of the country. We need co-operation among the farmers of northern Min- nesota. Thru dairying it will be brought about most readily. The co-operative meat market will follew 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. raising * fists and everything behind nothing isentered on this list. But they've skipped another fellow, of whom nothing has been said—the fellow who is even of a little ways ahead, who always pays for what be gets, whose bill is always signed—he's « blamed sight @nore important than is the man behind.
