FARMERS' INSTITUTES PRO
FITABLE?
frs' institutes profitable?
fa question often asked by those who
not gotten away from the idea
the farmer is a man who puts his
in. the Lord when he puts his
in the ground.
|The farmer was long supposed to
mere plodder who plowed the
id because his father did, and
ited the same kinds of seed—they
not call them varieties then—that
tether had done for years.
|He ridiculed any departure as earn
ly as the old lady did who opposed
making of artiflcial ice on the
ids that it was sacrilegious.
I Not so now.
The farmer is a practical scientist,
knows the soil, the botany of his
nts and the natural history of his
He is a philosopher. He can tell the
Dints that go to make a good dairy
a beef producer, a draft horse,
1
race horse, a mutton or wool sheep,
ad he can give a reason for every
us.
He is an anatomist and knows the
of the bone, muscle, digestive
is, breathing apparatus, and a
oien other things about animals that
in the professions would not

He does not know these things be
anse he lives with his hogs and
Iter animals.
He has learned much from obser.va
j—.all great men have done that—
at he has learned more from books,
lectures and from agricultural
alleges.
The farmer of middle age has had
little opportunity at agricultural
hoolB. It Is well within the recol
lon of men of two-score years of
when congress first gave to agri
Iture a national recognition by pro
ng for the creation of the experi
nt stations in the several states,
that was really the beginning of
liar agricultural education.
Pr'The men must have learned else-

TUESDAYj EVENING. JANUARY 30. 1006
The case of a farmer near Cando
was cited who had not only been suc
cessful in raising hogs for the mar
ket. but had built a small stone
smoke-house in which he had smoked
much of this product and sold it to
the farmers at fourteen to twenty
cents per pound.
This is merely an illustration.
The raising of hogs iu this country
is among the certainties of diversified
farming. The boy can easily stand
our climate. In fact, because of its
dryness in winter, it is rather ideal.
There is bound to be a large wast
age even on the best regulated farm
which can only be saved by the hog.
In addition to the cheap grains
which are grown so abundantly and
which find at best a dull market in
their native state, the grasses which
make ideal summer ranges grow in
profusion. Field peas grow as dense
as the wild vines in tropical forests.
With these things so abundantly at
hand, hog raising becomes a simple
matter.
But the trouble has largely been
that the price received in the mar
kets did not realize the farmer as
much as would the same amount of
energy and care given to grain grow
ing.
But if the people of North Dakota
would not only finish the animal but
the product itself—the meat cured
and ready for market, the demand
would be large enough to make the
price reasonable, and yet not so large
as to depress it below a profit.
It is true that this comes thenu
It is true that this carries the mat
ter to the question of wheher or not
those not connected with the large
packing establishments can success
fully compete with them in the mar
ket.
In the case of meats which must be
sold to the consumer fresh, it is
doubtful it' it could, not so much be
cause of anything in the slaughter
ing business itself as because of the
carrying of the meats in cold storage
to the smaller distribution points.
But the pork matter is altogether a
different one. The product is handled
largely in a cured state in which cold
storage is not necessary either l'or
transportation or keeping.
Once cured, it can be shipped any
distance in ordinary cars.
This is why the raising of hogs and
the conversion of the meat into the
finished product can be carried on in
our own state, and as Mr. Austin
suggested, two freights can be saved
to the consumer in the state.
THE HARDWARE 31 E\.
The keys of the city have been de
livered to the retail hardware dealers
who are now assembled here in con
vention.
It has been said that there is but
one trade or professional association
in the state the meetings of which
do not enhance to a lafge extent the
interests of that trade. The hard
ware dealers do not constitute that
organization.
Sometimes throughout the state is
found a dealer who seeks to follow
the example of the man who decided
to build his barns larger and tri^s to
handle a score of lines in a group.
But the men who are making the
money- are those keeping strictly one
•line with its allied interests, and push
ing that line in all reasonable direc
tions and by all reasonable means.
Men so engaged learn more of the
business, are better qualified for the
handling of that business and conse
quently are more valuable to the pub
lic at large than the man who seeks
to catch something of everything that
is passing.
There are questions of credit, of
freight and of general conduct o" that
particular business that is full of in
terest to men engaged in that line,
but which would be distressingly dull
to one engaged in the millinery busi
ness.
The meeting of these people for dis
cussion of matters of general interest
and the conduct of their business de
serves the commendation of those
who are Interested in hardware only
as purchasers, because they are the
ones who profit by the improvement
in the retail hardware trade.

An Original Idea.
Tin orator once was the man who
claimed
Rewards from the people who vote
The sound of his voice oped the portals
of fame
And his sayings the children would
quote.
But epigrams grew so abundant at last
That a man tried a different way.
He took his opinions and locked 'em up
last
And said he had nothing to say
The throng ever lickle, knocks at his
door.
Photographers furtively peek
Through his transom. Impatient we
ask o'er and o'er
When the oracle's going to speak,
'Tis strange that the simplest and
easiest scheme
Is often the one that will pay,
we're astonished. For not until now
did we dream
Tlmt a man could have nothing to
say. —Washington Star.
Tears.
The toars that trickled down our oyes,
They do not touch the earth today,
But soar, like angels, to the skies.
And like the angels, may not die
For ah! our immortality
-Flows through each tear—sounds in
each sigh.
What waves of tears surge o'er the
deep
Of sorrow in our restless souls
And they are strong, not weak, who
weep
Those drops from out the sea that
rolls
Within their hearts forevormore!
Without a depth—without a .shore.
But ah! the tears that are not wept,
'I'he tears that never outward fall
h® tears that prief for years has kept
Within us—they are best of all.
The tears our eyes shall never know
Are dearer than the tears that flow.
u'h night upon earth's flowers below*
he dew comes down from darkest
skies,
Arid every night our tears of woe
Go up like dews to Paradise,
To keep in bloom and make more fair
J. he flowers or crowns we yot shall
wear.
For ah, the surest way to God
Is up the lonely streams of tears
That flow when bending 'ncath His rod,
And all the tide of earthly years.
On laughter's billows hearts are tossed,
On waves of tears no heart is ios,.
Flow on, ye tears! and bear me home
Mow not, ye tears of deeper woe
Flow on ye tears that are but foam
4 waves that will not flow.
while—-I reach the shore
\V here tears flow not forevermore.

Buster Brown.
Melville B. Raymond's "Buster
Brown" will be the offering tonight
at the Metropolitan. The manager of
the company has spent a fortune on
the production and the theatrical
world have freely voted it to be "a
sure cure for the blues." Has your
boy or girl received one of the funny
"Buster Brown"- books yet? No?
Then tell him to get one at the theatre
where the attraction will play and he
will be delighted.
The College Widow.
The fame of "The College Widow,"
spread by the thousands of New York
and Chicago visitors who saw it dur
ing its phenomenal run in those cities,
has made the tour of this delightful
George Ade comedy a series of ova
tions. There is little variance of opin
ion regarding this play, the verdict
being that it Is the cleanest, sanest,
most wholesomely humorouB work of
years. As presented by Henry W.
Savage's company, all that artistic
and ample environment can do to en
hance its inherent yalue. Is looked
after. "The College Widow" will be
the attraction at the Metropolitan
theatre Wednesday evening.,

THE EVEMNd TIMES, GRAND FORKS, N. D.
Carleton, the manager, had in mind
the ever-increasing desire of the pub
lic to see beautiful and stylish women
on the stage women who can wear
fine costumes as they should be worn,
and women who c£n sing and dance
with an understanding of what those
accompllshmentr. mean.
These-essentials have been closely
adhered to in this "Johnny", company,
and it is pretty safe to predict that
when the curtain rises on the first
act of this famous military opera
comlque, much enthusiasm will be
aroused.
PULSE OF THE PRESS
He** a "Sooner."
[Renville Co. Tribune.]
B. F. Spalding is fixing the prelimi
nary fences in this section of the state
at present. He made several political
speeches in towns on the Bottineau
branch last week. Pretty early in the
game.

While you are talking about it—the
Evening Times, of Grand Forks—is
rapidly getting to the fore and has al
ready secured a reserved seat on our
exchange table—along with the best
of them.

The Evening Times of Grand Forks
readies this office every day in the
week and we acknowledge the cour
tesy of seven to one. The Times is a

ranks as a daily paper. Success to
the new enterprise.
Hferlteil Compliment*.
[.Granville Rccord.]
The new Grand Forks Evening
Times is receiving a lot of very flat
tering opinions from the state press.
It is well merited, however, for no one
can deny but that its policy and news
features challenge the administration
of friend and foe alike.
Some Hypercritical Editor*.
fGlenburn Advocate.]
Now and then we run across items
in our "independent" exchanges that
read with a meaning somewhat as
follows: "That while the different
political bosses and rings are having
a turbulent time both amongst them
selves and with the spoils of office, we
will stick by the common people and
guard them against the thieves."
That there should be men editing
newspapers with such narrow brain
calibre is as deplorable as it is true.
The following is an item from a recent
exchange. The self-imagined martyr
dom of the poor editor is lamentable
in the extereme:
"The political, situation in this state
is becoming quite amusing to an out
sider, as well as somewhat complex to
those directly interested therein. In
the coming fight the Independent will
take its stand with the people althouglf
we are frank to confess that this places
us in a similar position to Him who
died upon the cross—that of being
crucified between two thieves."
Crucified as Christ, mind you! "Mien
self und Got!" And then these fellows
purporting to be chief guardians of
the common people!
The mau that pats his chest and re
marks that he is entirely independent
in his political views is akin to the
fellow who says he is independent in
his religious views. Neither amount
to very much nor accomplish any
thing worthy of note. It is well and
good to have an individual opinion, but
it is equally essential to be able to work
with others to accomplish much under
our form of government. It is neces
sary to advocate individual opinions
if this country is to develop, and it is
also necessary to be able to accept the
individual views of others.
It is equally true that every voter
in the United States has his voice as
to the kind of government we have, as
it is that but a small majority make
and execute the laws. The best that
can be said of any one that says he is
not working with any political organ
ization is to say that he is a knocker,
or
entirely without interest in the
making of our government. We must
work through some form of organiza
tion. And while the opinions of the
organization may not be entirely
agreeable to us, it is better to have a
portion of our opinions accepted than
none. Political organizations do many
things subject to severe'criticism, but
where is the individual so free from
blemish, that he is not subject to some
adverse criticism? Our laws and our
officers are as good as our average
citizenship. The reason the^e is graft
is because a majority of us wink at
graft when it is coming.out- way the
reason there is mismanagement is be
cause we approve of it when it bene
fits us, and so on.
Our~ political fabric is but a picture
of our mortal condition &nd to remedy
th? former we must commence on the
latter. "Like people, like prie'sts."
Avaunt* with the idea that you are
some independent^ omnipotent editor,
able to Bit on the judgment throne
and condemn the men about you who
work while yod work not Anyone
can be good who never does anything.
He is both good and good for nothing.

Will the Insurgent Chief Please An
swer the Following Pertinent Ques
tions for the Enlightenment of the
Republicans of North Dakota
Bottineau. N. D., Jan. 26.—Editor
Evening Times—Hon. B. F. Spalding
of Fargo visited Bottindhu last even
ing and delivered an address to a
large audience under the auspices of
the so-called "Good Government"
league. Mr. Spalding recalled things
of the past and predicted things for
the future, in speaking of North Da
kota politics. He referred frequently
to the manner in which the political
slate was made up- at the Merchants
hotel in St. Paul, how this had been
done for years—but failed to en
lighten his audience as to the prom
inent part he has 'taken with this
same "machine" which he now con
demns—after suffering defeat it its
hands. If not asking The Evening
Times too much, and believing that
the people' of the state are deserving
of an explanation from the gentle
man, may I ask the following open
questions:
Mr. Spalding, if you had been nom
inated as a candidate for congress by
the so-called "machine" at the last
republican state convention, wopld
you now be barn-storming over the
state denouncing, the men whom you
now claim have controlled North Da
kota politics since statehood?
If this "machine" exists and is as
corrupt as you assert in your
speeches, why have you on two dif
ferent occasions—and you claim to
be an honest, conscientious man—ac
cepted a nomination attts hands and
as a member of congress, by your
voice and vote, endorsed the will of
the republican party in North Dakota,
as created by this so-called "ma
chine?"
You denounce National Committee
man McKenzie as a corrupt politician
and a man in absolute control of the
republican party of t'his state. Dare
you accuse Mr. McKenzie of ever at
tempting to influence your vote for
any corrupt measure?
Dare you accuse Mr. McKenzie of
ever attempting to influence your vote
at any time you were a member of
congress?
Is it not a fact that our represen
tatives in both branches of congress
have secured more for- North Dakota
—as a new state—than the represen
tatives of any other state—which cian
in any manner be compared with this
state in age or population?
Is it not a fact that our represen
tatives in the upper branch of con
gress have made national reputations
for
themselves and the state by- their
hard,'honest work on Important com
mittees?
What men are to control the ma
chine you are now endeavoring to
build up, should you and the com
bination you represent, toe successful
in defeating the regular republican
organization of this state?
If you will answer these questions
as freely as you now denounce the
men who have made North Dakota
what she is today—one of the greatest
states in the union—you will enllght7
en a large class of people in this
county who are now doubting the ad
visability of "jumping out of the fry
ing pan into the fire."

Some years ago, says the Boston
Herald, Professor Appleton, of Brown
university, who delighted to have his
pupils ask original questions in his
specialty, chemisty, was completely
stumped by the following from a
promising freshman:
"What two-fold chemical charige'did
-Lot's wife undergo?"
"Give it up'," said the professor,
"what were they?"
"First," said the freshman, "she
turned to rubber, and then she turned
to salt"
