"1 learn ed all I know about farming from hard, practical experience and I got the most of It In North Dakota trying to raise wheat." l'rof. Chamberlain wah the first speaker of the Better Farming and Dairy train demonstration Sunday af ternoon, which train is being taken over this part of the stat eby the Dar lington railroad and the Internation al Harvester Company In the Jnter esta of better farming. The meeting was held on the south side of the Station, the seats from inside the de pot being brought Into use. Rev. H. J. Young made a few opening re marks, saying that It was not, In his opinion, a desecration of the Sabbath to hold the meeting on that day. In stead, ha thought It for the better ment of the people, and as good as any wrmnn that could be preached. l'rof. Chamberlain continued to i tell of bis experiences In North Da kota. While he was raising wheat, and wheat alone, h said, his German t neighbors were raising In addition I chickens and hogs, and large gard I . i.'iirv limo thev came to town they brought with them something to sell, whether it was butter, eggs or garden truck, of which they some times had too much for themselves. They didn't depend for their living on canned goods brought out from town alinont In wagonloads; they did n't pay nine dollata a ousuei iw" something, they could raise them selves for a dollar a bushel, and here Mr. Chamberlain cited that canned tomatoes cost the consumer nine dol Inrs a bushel. Continuing on the same line ho showed the cost of can ned corn, Bauer kraut, and a number of other vegetables and fruits that cost In some cases a thousand per cent more than they would if raised by the consumer or bought In their raw state and canned, by Individuals instead of factories. "I walked over your town this morning." Baid Mr. Chumberlaln. "and I was astounded at the number of vacant lots out in the residence district that were covered with a rank growth of weeds. If everyone of those lots was planted to tomatoes and similar garden stuff, there would be more than enough to supply the town for months." i He Bald that when he lived In Perfect Examples of the Latest Fall Styles Our windows are the eye of our store.

SHOES FOR LADIES BUD'S and BUSTER BROWN SHOES FOR CHILDREN North Dakota he forgot about those! things, too. to his great sorrow. In-! stead of raising enough garden stuff,! poultry and hogs to supply him with I ready cash, he depended solely upon his wheat crop, and then, at the end of the season his creditors began pressing him and he didn't have enoueh to nay his debts. J I 1b tier- man friends had something to sell J the year around, while he had only one crop and had to wait until it was ripe before he could sell It. He said the reason the South had not forged ahead as fast as the North was because down there they depend iiionti " on ' cotton one crop ana that the percentage of crime Is great er in the South for the reason that they have nothing to occupy their time for several months in the year. Idleness, he pointed out, is the fa ther and mother of vice, and that if all countries would follow diversified farming, and In this manner keep the people busy ' the year around, the criminal tendencies and acts would decrease noticeably. As a factory that could work only three months in the year would be a losing invest ment, so would the one-crop farm. "Don't keep chickens and cows and hogs," said l'rof. Chamberlain. "Let the chickens and cows and hogs keep you. You don't need a big Btart get all you can to begin, of course, but keep adding to them all the time Then you'll always have something to sell and you won't have to Bit down and wait for your crops to ripen. One hundred good hens will pay the groc ery bill, and In many cases will leave a little surplus. The man that rale es poultry, hogs, dairy cows and gar den stuff. In addition to bis grain crops Is on the sure road to success, and will always win out in the end, but the man that tries to make mon ey with a one-crop farm la on the sure road to failure. It. means hard work, but work 1b what tries the bouI and builds the character by surmount ing difficulties, and this Is one reason why I have no fear for the children who work their way through school for they have no time for the petty things and come out good citizens and learned men and women." As the time was grbwing short Prof. Holden did not speak long. He said that immediately upon his arriv al in Alliance he noticed the spirit f good felowshlp everywhere, and pass ed several compliments on the recep tion here. In speaking of raising corn and cows and hogs Prof. Holden pointed out that we must not forget the girls and boys. "Why," he said, "sometimes I almost believe the girls aim uujb aic an isuuu aa uu&o. luia t ...... n.. . i 1 m tM..v. . I through the audience, and all grasp ed Mr. Holden'B meaning. He advo cated giving the boys a hog or a calf and letting them tend to it and let them sell it if they get a good offer. This, he said, will' teach the boys the spirit of saving and they will profit in later years. If the boys had an interest on the farm such as this, lie said, there wouldn't be many that would leave the farm for the city. Using Ihe two types of cows on the train. Prof. Fransden pointed out the best points of both the beef and the dairy cow. He compared the cows to an automobile by asking rtiose present if they would buy an automo bile without first ascertaining Its seating capacity, its horse power, Its speed, and Its consumption of gaso line. "Yet," he remarked, "there are but few farmers that follow the same method in the selection of a dairy or a beef cow." On the car was a Holsteln-Frelshlan cow that last year produced 600 pounds of butter fat and 15.000 pounds of milk. The owner of this cow was last week of fered 11,000 cash for the animal, but I refused. The average production of butter fat, according to Prof. FranB den. Is 120 pounds in Nebraska. A women's meeting was held in the waiting room of the station after Mr. Chamberlain's talk, and this was an interesting part of the program. Af ter Prof. Fransden's talk everyone was invited to pass through the ex hibit car, and nearly all accepted. In addition to the two cows, there was a prize-winning hog and many agricul tural exhibits, mostly from Wyom ing. The meeting was attended largely by farmers, and in every sense it was successful. On Monday morning the speakers went to the schools where they gave short talks to the children. "The Store of Quality" Geo. A.

RECIPE FOR DUTCH CHEESE On of tha Best Methods of Disposing of Sour Milk Kept Dry, It Will Improve With Age. Dutch cheese can be made from sour milk.
