Bottineau Free Lance: Wheat that is
being threshed from the stack varies
greatly in quality, some being No. 1
hard and some almost rotten. Experts
tell us that where stacking has been
poorly done, and the grain as a conse.
quence is wet, the proper way is to set it
out in sheaf to dry.

100 barrels capacity will be erected at

Senator Worst in jamestown Alert:
1 think there will be no difficulty in
winding up the extra legislative session
IN four days. The necessary bills pro-
viding for presidential electors and the
Worlds Fair appropriation will be care
fully drafted in advance, and the former
measure can be at once disposed of. The
fair matter will require more time for
discussion and amendments. but ought
to be settled without great delay. Every
member should be Interested in cutting
the session short, in order to save ex-
pense, and make a creditable record.
Stanton Pilot: The sheep men are
busy with their lambs. O. H. Slaton
appears to lead in spring lambs. He
has 1O8 and has lost but 2. There have
been heavy losses in some localities in
sheep, the hard winter followed by a wet,
cold spring was to much for the large
bands. Where sheep we're wintered in
small bands of 200 to $50, the loss has
been tri fling but the larger bands of
from 800 to a 1000, suffered heavily. The
losses will range from 2 to 20 per cent.
1t is not likely that a winter like the past
one will be experienced in MANY years.
From the last of October till May stock
had to be fed more or less.
