Franklin, L. H. Orme, Hosea Green
haw, f. NJ. Fowler, Mr. Bryant and
Mr. Gatke and numerous olLcf
ranchers have lar-e acr, age Of
wheat and hurley in this section of
The valley and we understand that
threshin9 more than confirms the in
dlcalions of heavy crops wherever
the machines nave bvcn ut work.
Returning TO Nj Isaac's ranch we
wee driven out amcng his extensive
alfalfa pastures where we saw herds
of as fine cattle, mostly Durham and
Grades, as are t. be found anywhere
ard elsewhere were bands of fine
b. 90 ! mares and some very promi
ing colts. Mr.. Isaac takes great ana
a ju-t pride in his stock and is care
fully breeding the best strains. An !
abundance Of room, fine water facili-
tie 5 and broad fields of alfalfa which |
is led off or harvested almost every |
month, renders stock raising-coml ar
ltively easy and one trouble, queer
as ii may appear is to keep stock
from getting too fat for brec ding
md dairy purposes.
For the purpose of combining
sock raising with farming Mr. Isaac
and sons have lad their immense
1act of land fenced with wire into
fields of all sizes ON t. / 40 acres.
Mr. I~aac's ranch is but an e>am-
pie of the capabilities of the valley
n the line of grain aud stock and of
vht. is being done all up and down
his valley for forty miles.
We nave described MIR Isaac's
hrcshing outfit somewhat infinitely
n-order that we might say that
here are eight such outfits in this
ALLEY 1T work to-day; some Of tn IN
perhaps more extensive, some of
hem les Extensive but we believe
here Is but our 50 complete in every
-e>pec', that of Mr. Bryant whlt n

It the same time as Mr. Isaac OUT
it.
1t will lake these eight harvesting
outfits fully to the first of AUGUST to
put tie grain crop of the valley into
sacks
The harvest Of next year in this
county, judging from the new ditch
inter, rises AID the diligence with
which ihey are being pushed, viii
be nearly disable iii acreage what it
IS this year, and for excellence OF
crop we are nowhere surpassed.
Let our neighbors everywhere
know of our bouuteous fields and
come AID feed at our t;ble.
Sheep enrarls, long used in the
ture of s1~cAlled "cnt-gut"
strings, and for "skinS" Of Bologna
.ausages, have found demand in
more recent manufacture-that of
Jelting for propellilr machinery.
