Buffalo Bones.

Not content with killing the buffalo
for his fur, says the Grand Forks North
Dakota) Ptaindealer, the ayaric;ous man
now picks up the dry bones rs they are
found over the State and sells them to
Eastern manufacturers. Oniy few
years ago these animals numbered mill
ions. Now there may be fifty within
this State. A few figures regarding the
bones of the animals slaughtered within
the last few years will show in what
numbers they existed. Where the buff
falo fourished, there his cousin, the do
mesticatcd COW, will thrive, aud sheep
and horses will do especially we'll on the
nutritious heritage that enticed the bison
from the south and central plains. From
the single station of Nlinot there were
shipped of buffalo bones in 1886, 225
tons; in 1887, 600 tons; in 1888, 375
tons; in 1889, 2775 tons, and there have
been shipped this year aud are ready for
shipment at that one station 24OO tons.
Colonel Louusberry estimates that these
bones represent $780, 200 animals, and
that these shipments do not represent
over one-thirteenth of the entire amount
of buffalo bones that have been bleached
on the sunny surfaces of North Dakota
bones that were once the framework
OF 2, 0O0 900 buffaloes.
