years ago on the night OF the 7th
OF August, when so much wheat
was injured, the Walker saw
mill in this city burned to the
ground, and for twenty-five miles IN
the direction opposite from which the
wind was blowing there was no injury
sustained from frost, the deposit Of
frost, or frozen dew, being prevented
partially by the heated temperature
OF the atmosphere, but much more
from the simple disturbance caused
by air currents. The fact was gener-
ally observed, and admits of no uues.
ton. Mr.. p. p. Allen, OF Thompson,
one OF the most successful and sub.
stantial farmers of Grand Forks coun-
ty, on the same night saved his crops,
while those OF his nelghbor were de-
stroyed, making bon6res of straw at
convenient points in his grain fields.
The same experiment has proved sue.
cessful in Ransom county. One of the
largest farmers in Ramsey county, Mr..
John w. Maher, also testifies to the
ease with which frosts may be eaverted
on the bonfire plan. He says there
need be no uneasiness in regard to los
ing this magnificent crop by frost.
"When there is a sudden fall OF tenn
perature and danger OF frost, smudges
should be started and kept burning
through the night. The smoke will
form a cloud over the fields and pre-
vent precipitation. A smudge every
few rods is not required. One good
one in every section is sufficient to
form absolute protection against
frosts as heavy as those in 1888. An
old stlaw stack that will smoke dur
ing the night, or half ton of drv
straw, covered with two or three eloads
OF green grass or weeds, will make
smudge that will save the crops for
a mile in every direction. If every
tenth farmer would put out good
smudge and keepit burning during the
night it would save the entire crop"
With the use OF dry and wet ther-
mometers and a table Of temperatures
prepared by Observer Sherier, OF the
Moorhead weather station, tor deter
mining several hours Ill advance that
degree OF temperature at which moist.
ure will be deposited from the atmos-
phere in the form of dew the farmer is
practicabilly master ofthe situation.
The practicabillty and success OF frost
prevention has been demonstrated so
satisfactorily that absolute immuni-
ty can be secured by prudence and a.
little effort. Observations have also
shown this year that, owing to the
great amount of moisture in the soil,
the temperature on the surface where
the growing grain is has invariably
been from 8 to 10 degrees higher than
that reported by the thermometers in
observing stations. The mercury at
the university station here has once
marked 80 degrees, and once fell to 28
degrees, and yet at the surface OF the
soil the temperature has probably not
fallen much, if any, below 40, so that
grain has not come 30 near being FROST
ed as some may have thought.

THE YARDS AT KANSAS CITY CLEAR.

Kansas City, Sept 10.-"Thc Star" says In regard to
the reported blockade in the movement of wheat this
city: "The sensational reports in this mornings
papers would 17t have been far from correct had
they been printed week ten days ago, but, coming
up the last bunch Of left over from last weeks
rush. it is hard for the grain and agents to believe
that every knows the real situation Last week
the roads caught unawares and for time cars
could not be had fast enough TO handle the grain The
extra efforts made by the lines and decrease in receipts
have combined TO clear the yards here Yesterday the
receipts seventy cars, and today's receipts are
215 cars Last evening all the principal tracks were
clear, and yesterday morning there were few cars
in the yards except those sent to the elevators At no
time last week the rush equal to that of previous
years and ii brought only by catching the roads
unprepared. The only trouble that exists now Is to
secure prompt transfers and inspections. The real
rush has not begun yet. Many predict a blockade
when the enormous grain crop of Kansas begins 10
move in earnest.'
The Santa Fe this morning promulgated last
resort order the grain blockade situation Begin
ming Monday next all cars Of grain that reach Kansas
City VIII be permitted to stand the side tracks
forty eight hours. II ut the end of that time they
are not hauled away stored, the road will take
charge Of them and dump their contents into one OF
the roads numerous elevators. Regular storage will
then have TO be paid before the grain can be taken
out. The Missouri Pacific and all other roads have
adopted the plan. On Monday morning Of this
week the santa Fe had 2.1J2 ears loaded with grain
on its Sde-tIachs at Kansas City. Since september
l the superintendent Of the Santa Fc has received
fifteen additional engines and crews with which to
handle the tremendous grain movement between Kansas
City and Chicago.
