A Remarkable Season.


Since the 9Th OF last month up to
the. present time it has. been a season
Of almost continuous storm. In that
time. there. have been only two days
Of what might be properly designated
us fair weather in Tuscarora- 1t has
been. the longest continuation Of
stormy weather ever known in this
section, and the amount of snow on
the ground at the present time is
greater by far than has ever been
seen since the first settlement of the
district more than twenty years ago.
1t has been in every meteorological
respect, a most exceptional season 80
far, and the barometer does not at
present indicate favorable change.
1t is quite certain that but very little
stock not sheltered and fed in this
vicinity, will survive until Spring, and
the Winter of 1890 will long be re-
membered by stockmen at least, as
the most disastrous in the weather

hay crops already gathered and the
seed crop, the land has made him the
handsome return of over $500 an
acre.-St. Joe Herald.
County Commissioner Hahnenkratt
of this county has experimental the
past two years raising alfalfa. He
planted some two years ago, and this
summer when everything else failed
from drouth the alfalfa was a sue
cess. He got two crops of it and the
yield was good. He says 1t will not
do much the first year but will pay
well the second. VIM. BIssell has

feels sure that fine crops of alfalfa
can be raised here even in the dryest
years. 1t is a rich nutritious food for
animals and always brings a good
price. Let the farmers of Phillips
