Diversified Farming in Minnesota
Minnesota hard spring wheat has be
come famous for the excellent quality
of flour it produces, and Minnesota
wheat and flour have become standards
in the world's markets. Within recent
years her butter has taken equal rank
with her wheat. The dairy interest
which has been developed upon a co
operative basis among the farmers has
directly and indirectly added a large
sum to the wealth of the state. The
livestock industry is developing rapidly
and good stock of all kinds is found
within the state. I believe that, within
the next ten years, the income from
livestock alone with be more than dou
bled. The natural facilities for live
stock husbandry are unsurpassed the
numerous small lakes, which are prac
tically large springs of pure water, and
all kinds of forage can be grown cheap
and in large amounts. Minnesota
has already become a great livestock
state, and her interests along this line
are destined to become still larger. Her
horses and cattle and other livestock
have already taken the highest awards
and prizes in both national and interna
tional contests.
Minnesota is a lar^e state and some
parts are only sparsely settled, and
there is .room within her boundaries
for more" farmers and home-makers
There are nearly aB good opportunities

there were in the pioneer days, and
without the hardships of pioneer life.

There are but few states that offer the'
opportunity for diversified farming that
Minnesota does. The soils, climatic con
ditions, transportation facilities and
markets are all favorable for a diver
sity of crops and agricultural interests.
It is not a new or untried country, its
agricultural resources have been tested
for over half a century and during that
time some of thef most prosperous agri
cultural regions to be found in any land

Convention Features.,
One of the important features of
the convention will be the address on
"Domestic Science," by Miss Euth
Wardall, who has charge of that branch
in the state, agricultural college at
Brookings.
The social features of the meeting
ha ve been carefully planned by the
hostesses and include a reception at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Abell
arid a parlor musicale in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Campbell. Miss
Lorena Kin g, daughter of Colonel and
ance of success, provided he is the
right kind of a man. It is not neces
sary for him to first experiment and
find out what can be grown, but he
can begin to do things at once.
There is a great diversity of soils
within the state. Over a large area,
rich black loam resting upon a silt sub
soil and containing an abundance of
lime and plant food predominates.
other parts of the state sandy loams
and clay loams are found. There are
also some poor sandy lands within the
state, but on the whole, the rich fertile
soils predominate, soils which are
among the most productive of the coun
try. I soil wealth alone, Minnesota is
unexcelled. Minnesota is not in the
dry belt the average railfall at Worth
ington, in the southwestern part of the
state, for six years is reported at 27.54
inches in the northwestern part of the
state as 25.6 inches: of the southern
central as 29, and 01 the northern cen
tral as 31.
Diversified farming in Minnesota is
rendered possible because of the high
fertility of the soils and the favorable
climatic conditions, including a suffi
cient rainfall for all farm crops. A a
result, all grasses and grains grow lux
uriantly and produce large yields. In
many parts of the state clover seeds it
self and grows naturally upon the wild
lands. Corn fodder is grown in all parts
of the state and corn has become one of
the staple crops over a large area. In
addition to wheat, oats, barley, rye and
flax are grown in large amounts. Choice
grades of timothy hay and wild prairie
hay are also marketed, and millet,
brome grass and alfalfa are all success
fully grown. Fruit-growing and mar
ket gardening have become prominent
among the agricultural activities of the
state. The large cities, as St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth afford excel
lent markets for the truck farmer.
There is a large area of cheap lands rea
sonably near to good markets, which are
available for market garden purposes.
The agricultural industries are found
distributed all over the state, as flour
mills, oil mills, a sugar factory, sor
ghum factories, starch factories, cream
eries, and meat packinghouses. The bye
products from these industries are pro
duced in large amounts and afford ex
cellent concentrates for stock-feeding
purposes.

"Wiilmar, Minn., June 2.There has
been something in the .air for several
weeks in regard to opportunities of
fered to the investor along the new
extension of the Great Northern rail
road running from York northwest thru
the island lake country in North Da
kota. W have been trying to get in
touch with something definite, and this
week we are able to give our readers
reliable and accurate information from
"the man who has. this matter in
charge." Out at Wiilmar this week
we had the pleasure' of meeting D.
N. Tallman, president of the Dakota
Development company. Mr. Tallman is
also president of the Minnesota Cen
tral Telephone company, a great hustler
and a man of the right sort, enjoying
an enviable reputation in the business
and financial world in the great north
west, Anything that comes from him
can be absolutely relied upon, as Mr.
Tallman has the reputation of giving,
every one a "squa re deal," and would
not for a minute take hold of anything
that was in the least off color or not
exactly as represented. Having an
inkling that there as to be something
doing along this new extension of the
Great Northern, we got Mr. Tallman
to talk. said:
The Great Northern Railroad compa
is building an extension of forty-two
miles from York northwest, thru the
Island Lake county, and will establish
five good North Dakota towns. This
line runs thru what is known as the
rich Ox Creek and Island Lake district,
where large area of land is now under
cultivation an'd farmed by some of the
best farmers in North Dakota. There
is no better soil in the state and good
to the prospective homeseeker besides
fertile soils capable of producing a
great diversity of crops. The early pio
neers came from the best farming com
munities of north Europe and the east
ern states. It is the early settlers who
have developed the soil resources and
made Minnesota a great agricultural
state, and tKe home-maker now has all
the advantages of good neighbors, ex
cellent schools, the best of transporta
tion faeilities,^good markets and estab
lished churches. Lawlessness has never
been rampant in the state, the taxes
are low, there is no large state debt for
prosterity to pay, nor repudiated bonds
to mar the credit of the state. The
opportunities for the small farmer to
make a comfortable home in Minnesota,
engage in diversified farming and re
ceive a fair recompense for his labors,
are unsurpassed.

Legislative Work.
The most important work of the past
year as accomplished during the ses
sion1
of the legislature last winter thru
its legislative committee. Mrs. Stella
Marie Stutenroth of Watertown, chair
man of the committee, spent two weeks
in Pierre in the interest of two bills.
One provided for the creation of a state
library commission similar to that
which the Minnesota legislature created
in that state in 1899. This bill passed
the senate unanimously twice, but both
times it as defeated in the house, 'not
withstanding that it carried no appro
priation.
At another time the committee
feels sure the bill can be made a law.
The second bill indorsed by the state
federation, which Mrs. Stutenroth car
ried to Pierre,, provided for the inspec
tion of all animals and meats intended
for meat supplies, the inspection' of
slaughter houses, licensing of butchers,
and for a general^ improvement of meat
markets and slaughter pens. This bill
passed the senate unanimously, being
introduced by the committee on state
affairs, and 4fter some delay went to
the house, where with only a slight
amendmeW exempting farmers who
want to kill their own pro ducts-for
market, the bill passed, fifty-two mem
bers Voting for and only seventeen
against it. This is the first bit of leg
islation that the federation has at
tempted and now it remains with the
towns and cities to put the law in force,
it being a permissible bill, and it will
be necessary for the club women to cre
ate sentiment in their different districts
so that each city council will pass an
ordinance in harmony with the bill. A
similar bill ft now in force in Michigan,
and the people are well pleased with it.
The federaation appropriated $50 for
a traveling library last year, at its
meeting in Watertown, and this is now
in circulation in the Black Hills. The

The Highest Courage.
Every true man and every true woman
ntust admire courage in whatever form
It may appear and a courageous spirit
tho the natural inheritance *of some peo
ple, is only possessed by others after
many years of hard and bitter struggle
against a natural timidity which required
continued patient effort to overcome.
There have been frequent demonstra
tions of courage of various kinds thruout
the centuries gone by and many men and
many minds have told thrllliru? tales In
verse and prose of oourageous acts and
deeds of heroism.
If you were to ask a given number of
people of your acquaintance to tell you
What in their judgment they considered
an aot requiring the highest courage you
would doubtless receive as many different
answers as there were different persons
interviewed on tha subject in hand.

eastern farmer who is interested in mak
ing a new home for himself in the great
northwest, to drop a postal card to
Standring Brothers at Breckenridge,
Minn., and they will send not only full
and reliable information in regard to
Wilk in county which can be absolutely
depended upon, but will furnish the
writer with a map of Minnesota, fre.e,

to procure. Ward Williams.

Her fa face is all freckledthis girl whom I know*
And ner nose has a tilt in the sir
And not even her mother, with motheMor* '-ss
blind. -$M
Can truthfully say she Is fair *.,^m
Her hair is the color that may be called red, a
And straight as a ruler hangs down N
Her eyes are pale blue, and her forehead Is low-*
Tho it never is drawn in a frown. W*
Her sisters are graceful and bonny young things,
And her brother is handsome and bright,
And all of them think in their Innermost hearts
That their sister is truly a sight.
But the soul of this girl Is a beautiful thing* Jj
And her voice is as sweet as a bird's.
And her goodness of heart and hat' wisdom of
mind -v^ai*
Are seen in kind actions and words. ^Ss-
And the mother has ever a fond word and
smile
For this child of her daily delight,
And the father's eyes glisten with tenderest
love
As he kisses and bids her good-night.
And, oh, they would miss, and.miss her foil
sore,
If out (ln the world she should roam, 3g
For the gil of no beauty of face or of form jlfo
Is most truly the heart of ihe home.
