Harvest Hits.

Harvest is we'll under way, and
grain is being put up in fine shape.
The work of harvest is not hindered
this year By the Russian thistles, as
has been the case for the past two
years. Grain is ripening very grad
ually, not all at once, this giving
ample opportunity to harvest with
out the usual loss attendant on our
ripe grain by shelling &c. Barley
that was early sown is generally a
heavy crop. The later sown is very
light, having been affected by the
drought. Generally speaking, the
early wheat and oats are showing up
the best. Flax is not promising very
we'll, as it is not plant of much
foliage, and the thistles and weeds
are making good headway in some
of it, still there are some fields that
promise immense yields. Rain is
needed for all late grain, corn, pota-
toes and gardens, The header seems
to be in general use this year as it
saves more CT the short grain than a
binder. Corn has done very we'll
indeed and unless unusually early
fro It's visit us, good crop is assum-
ed.

HAIL..
The most extensive and destructive
Hail Storm which has ever visited
this section of Country.
Hundreds of thousands of Bushels of
Grain destroyed last Friday.

For the second time since the
settlement of this country, has hail
storm passed over the region north
east of here just as harvest was
commen cling,
Last Friday about four o'clock low
dense clowds tipped with white and
tumbling one over the other were
seen to pass rapidly along the horizon
in the east. The day had been in
tensely hot and these clouds were
watched with the greatest anxiety by
all, as the conditions were favorable
for cyclone. With these clouds
came gale of wind which felt as
though it was blown from an ice berg,
and then it was evident to most peo-
pie that some part Of the country,
was being devastated by that dread
destroyer Of vegetation-hail.

THE PATH OF THE STORM.

1t was not long before the sus.
picions were found to be correct.
Early Saturday morning Wally
Young came in for 81 panes of glass,
to replace those broken out of his
pleasant home, and the tales of
destruction which came in during
the day were appalling. Only few
hours previous crop OF wheat cover
ed large portion Of the country Is
miles east Of here, which promised a
yield of from Is to 20 bushels per
acre, now most of it would not return
the seed. In many instances tho
binders were standing in the field
preparatory to commencing the
harvest, and almost in an instant the
entire work OF the summer vanished
before the pelting hailstones.
The storm swas one of the most
extensive which ever visited this
country. AS far as can be learned
it started just south of Devils Lake,
and swept a region of country 8
miles wide aud over 100 miles long,
extending in southeasterly direc-
ton. The fall of hail was not con-
tincus over this entire area. In places
it was heavy causirg a total loss,
while in others the loss was slight
The nearest point to this place where
loss was experienced was II mile.

section who have sustained losses are

CHEESE FACTORY SOLD.

1t is reported that A. E. Clark has
sold the Oakes Cheese factory to his
Manager, Mr.. E. Mayhem. Mr..
Clark is in Hecla at present, but we
are reliably informed that the deal
is practically made. Mr., Mayhem is
thoroughly acquainted with the
business, having learned it in detail
in Canada, and will no doubt give
the product of the Oakes factory a
better article than ever. During his
short acquaintance here he has made
many friends both in town and a
mong the farmers, and it is safe to
say, that the business will not suffer
many sense by this change of manage
ment. The farmers are figuring on
the profits OF dairying and realize
that they can do better by selling
the milk at the factory than by hand
Fling it themselves, and it is safe to
predict that Mr.. Mayhew will soon
see his business increase even beyonc
its present proportions.

LAMoURE.
Our High School Ranks Among the Best in
the State.

We are in receipt of little pamph-
let entitled North Dakota Education
al Directory prepared by Miss Emma
Bates state superintendent, and are
much pleased to notice that in the
classification of the high sch ools of
the state, the Oakes school is placed
in the first grade along with Fargo,
Grand Forks, jamestown and other
prominent schools OF the state.
1t is becoming generally known
that Oakes has the best school in this
part of the country, but it will be a
surprise to many to know that it ranks
with the schools of Fargo and Grand
Forks. Professor Hood is certainly
to be congratulated on the work
which he has been doing here.

A Good Rule for Estimating a whea, Field.

How many bushels of wheat will
your field yield per acre7 Go out
into the field when the grain is filed
out and measure off an exact square
foot. Take all the heads of wheat in
that square foot and she'll out the
wheat. Count the kernels of wheat
you now have and every thirty three
grains indicates one bushel per acre.
Ii you get $50 grains from the square
foot your yield will be 10 bushels per
acre. If you get 1856 grains you will
have II bushels. This is tie basis
used for estimating by adjusters of
cyclone insurance and is very nearly
accurate, but will vary if the kernels
are larger or smaller than the average,
or if the grain is growing unevenly.
