If the In dependent has made a mis-statement, we wish to stand corrected and will give the commissioners space gladly to let the taxpayers know a few things. The money erpended on repairs add improvements at the county hospital during that period amounted to $4, 660.38. For supplies, improvements, repairs and permanent records for the court house, sheriff's residence and jail, during that time, $10,738.14 was spent. This does not include ofhee stationery. The county fair associa tion was paid $8,815.54. The bonded indebtedness of Ward county at the present time is $187,CM Outstanding warrants amount to $165,240.86. The total indebtedness oi Ward county, including Renville and Burke counties is $354,051.70. The county poor fund has been overdrawn $2,410.84. The assessed valuation of the three rxunties in 1910 was as follows: Ward county, 59.423 per cent Burke, 81,228 Renville, $3,477,081. Tot&l, *17,887,081. Burke county will claim the pro ra tio of settlement to be as follows: Ward county, 59,423 per cent Burke, 21.139 per cent Renville, 19.438 per cent. If the supreme court decides that the roads and bridges do not belting to the counties, but to the public in genera], which it probably will, then Burke and Renville counties will vbe owing Ward county quite a sum. If the court decides otherwise, Ward county will owe those counties con. siderable. MP*. Peter Neilson died at Ken mare, March 24, of cancerous tumor, at the age of 36 years. J. A.

The remainder of the iet'.er is as vlugar as the original from which he quotes, and I would have given credit to the gentleman had he been able to conjure up some new views, however, abusive. An un- amount of milk returned and a test truth, in the framework of borrowed vulgarisms, is a poor effort from one who would claim to be a saint. In Order to Make Industry Profital! Low Producing Animal Must Be Eliminated. 1 (By O. L. MARTIN.) The popularity of the dairy cow was never keener in the northwest than at. the present time. This Is due some what to the partial failure of the grain crop the paBt characteristics of the sire, the second all over the country, and quite often Grazing Hogs. 7. M. Sumpter of Sumner county, Kansas, says he raises and markets from 600 to 00 hogs every year. They ars grown mainly in his large alfalfa pastures, with an average of an ear of oorn per day until their six weeks' fattening Is begun, when they are fur nished corn liberally. He does not Btock his pastures heavily enough to prevent harvesting from them three cuttings of bay each season. The hogs have continuously, a fresh, ten der growth to graze on instead of the ooarse, woody stems they wouldohave if no mowing were done, while tbe hay obtained is as valuable as the same amount gathered from meadows not used as pasture. Lessen Drudgery. If you are willing .to pay your boy the $30 a month you would have to pay a workman jo fill his place, you will not hear t?o much about the drudgea^yl^n- t*»e farm. .i,vK E year, together with the prevailing high prices for dairy prod ucts and the quick continuous returns which this Industry Insures. The average cow found on the farms throughout the northwest is largely of the scrub type. A great many of these have descended from the beef types of cattle that prevailed on the ranges previous to the period of settlement. As a result the common cow is not well adapted to meet the needs under the present conditions. Because of the high price of feeds and labor the now that returns but 5,000 or 6,000 pounds of milk per year Is no longer profitable, so the low producing cow must be detected and eliminated In order to make the dairy herd profita ble. For the average farmer It Is not ad visable to buy expensive pure-bred cows. The fact that a cow Is pure bred does not necessarily make her a profitable animal. There are a great many registered animals that are worse than sorubs. Likewise there are many grade cows that are high producers, so ihe only reliable way is for each farmer to test his own cows periodically or belong to a testing as sociation. This is the only practical way to detect the "boarders" and raise the standard of the herd. The most economical and practical way to build up a dairy herd Is to start with the common cows and use a pure bred sire of some recognized dairy breed. Where a farmer attempts to I build up a herd by purchasing pure bred cows he usually finds it rather ex pepsive and unsatisfactory. Every breeder of dairy cattle is endeavoring to build up his herd by cutting out hfs poorest cows and keeping the best ones as foundation for his herd. Often where one attempts to purchase pure bred rows he pays high prices for the poorest animals upon the reputation sustained by the best Individuals In ithe herd. The most reliable way for the aver age farmer to do Is to begin with the profitable ones and keep the heifer calves from the best ones as a founda tion for his herd. Ry using the milk scales, tester and record book, it may easily be determined the quantity of food each animal consumes, the for the same. The profitable cow quite often is not the beRt looking ani mal, but the one that has the inherent, ability to utilize her food to the best advantage and bring the largest re- turns. The same thing holds true with 'he address of John F. Cowan to the cows as with other animals. Two race horses may look exactly alike, eat the same amount of food and receive like care, but the only way to determine which is the superior animal is by use of the stop watch. Results are what count, whether it be on the race track or in the milk pail. The importance of using a good sire heart trouble. An infant son preced cannot be over-estimated. It has been ed her a few weeks ago said "the sire is half the herd." A good one is even more, since the first. ,, cross imparts to the offspring half the! cross three-fourths, etc. The best au-1 Editor Bierly oi the Stanley Sun thorities on breeding agree that a sire! takes a rap at Oregon. He says thai by virtue of having a long line of fine climate Is about all that th breeding back of him will stamp his the grade cows prove to be superior to er. the pure-breds as profitable milk pro ducers. The principal drawback for most farmers in improving the dairy herd is the lack of a record of what each cow is doing. In too many herds cows owner even suspecting it. The poor cows are eating up the profits of the good ones, so the herd as a whole Is unprofitable. Cow test associations are doing a grand -work in many states. Their chief advantage lies in the supervisor being a trained man who comes into personal contact with the cow owner and is able not only to instruct in selection, care and manage ment of the dairy herd, but can hrlng the people together in one common in terest, which, after all. Is the big thing in all lines of advancement. If there Is any one thing above another that will aid in building up the dairy lndus try 1t Is the -detection of the unprofit able cow. In short, It is the applica tion of business methods in farming. Short State Stories The Advance BayB that every Olson. He reports the stormiest ocean voyage he has ever experienced.
