M. Dyer, who has been on the Wabash passenger run for the past four months, has been transferred to the freight run on the branch. He will move to Centralia not wanted to sell. When I was asked to set a price on my stock I have declined, although I have no doubt I might command a very satisfactory amount for any I. desired to dispose of.

The buyer has every time stuck and hung and pleaded for a chance to buy some of my stock, but I have felt the force of the arguments mentioned above, and have said, "No, I will not sell!" What I believe we should do is to keep every good cow, grow some calves every year, grow some more of the feed we need, to build more silos if need be, and sell more milk and butter. A great deal is said at the present time about the patriotic duty of the farmer. We are urged to grow more crops of all kinds, to buy bonds and perform other kinds of service for the country, and it seems to me there is no more patriotic duty laid down upon us than to keep our cows, grow more calves, and to serve our country by helping to supply milk and butter, two of the most necessary articles of food any people can have Farmer and Stockman.
