The farmers in this section, and We learn
that it is the case all over the territory, are
very backward about faving their threshing
done and bringing the wheat to market this
fall
On last Wednesday night, during the
storm, three colts were struck by lightning
and killed, in +. C. Herring's herd, near
Eden. One Of these belonged TO Frank
Chaplin, and the others belonged to parties
living up the Sioux.
We have talked with number of men
running threshing machines, and they say
that wheat is turning out from 20 to IS
bushels to the acre. 1t is perfectly safe in
saving that the average in the entire county
will 80 twenty bushels, strong.
