There is money in keeping cows, and there's more money in keeping cows if you use a cream separator. You will make more money if you use a United Statu Cream Separator, the best machine on the market. There are two sizes. If you milk but four or five cows, buy one of the smaller kinds which are just as durable and do just as good work. I have had a record-breaking sale of these cream separators.

Here's a straight tip: The wheat crop looks splendid and the early wheat is turning. Some will be cut this week, tho the wheat harvest will not be gen eral until another week. The prospects are that it will go from twenty to thirty bushels. Of course some of the wheat put in poorly will make less. There was never a year when poor farming as this year, and where good farming brot forth such good re sults. Oats are the best ever. Hardly afield will go less than fifty bushels and some will go a hundred. Flax is good. Some of the late flax needs good weather for it to mature prop erly. Some farmers sowed after July 4 an can not expect much. Flax is good for an average of fifteen bushels, with some doing much better. Speltz, barley and rye area very good crop. The macaroni wheat looks well, but the blur stem seems to have it on the run this year. Gardens look a little backward. With a third more acreage this year all the farmer wants is a good fair price. Will he get it? Farm Help. Farm laborers will be scarce. Help will likely bring a fancy price this year. Farmers already are talking three dollars a day, tho the wage scale will likely be around two and a half. It de pends largely on the weather and the number of laborers. Al ready laborers are arriving in box cars. This is not the desir able class. The farmer who al ways plays safe will stack as his crops are cut. Its a mighty good way to do where it is possible. The Palace, located in the old post office building, is now open with a complete line of clothing, gents furnishings, boots and shoes, hats and caps, trunks and valises. A. W. Tracy, the big good natured advance man for the Crows accompanied Bob Gillispie to his farm seven miles northeast from Minot Saturday evening and enjoyed a six o'clock dinner, cooked by Bob himself.

He has all of his farm broken with the exception of 20 acres. J. C. Kirm of near Maxbass, made a seven year proof on his homestead Tuesday. His wit nesses were E. J. Plecker and Guy Bassett. Mr. Kirm is one of the many successful farmers of North Dakota. This year he has 260 acres of beautiful crops and expects to clear $3000 from the farm this season. Last year with only four horses he raised 7000 bushels of grain selling it for $3000. His flax looks as tho it will go twenty bushels to the acre. Mr. Kirn has 3000 fine trees in good' shape, some of which are nearly 20 feet high. He has good farm buildings, in cluding a five room house, a barn 18x56, granary 12x56 feet and a machine shed 16x32 feet. He has three good wells and owesno man a cent. He considers his luarter of land worth $6000. Mr. ecker is also doing a nice stroke of business at farming, having 100 acres of crops in ex cellent condition.

This year the firm is doing a good deal of brick work, building a brick bank and a brick store building at Palermo, a brick block at Berthold to be used for a bank. One of their best jobs was remodeling the Leland hotel block, and adding a third story to a part of it. This job amounted to nearly $10,000.

There are scores of reasons why you should choose a Deering in pre ference to any other kind. Come in and we will demonstrate you the qualities of this machine. HAY RAKES Of course we recommend the Deering. If there was a better rake on the market we would be selling it. The fact is we have ac quainted ourselves with all classes of machinery and have selected the Deering goods in preference to oth ers. In the Deering hay rakes, the bolts simply can not work loose.
