DUNBAR, Neb., Dec. 1S.-(Special,)-
Corn has been husked in all fields except
that which is on very low ground, the
ground being so soft that team can hardly
pull an empty wagon But the cold
weather of yesterday and today has frozen
the ground sufficiently to hold up a loaded
wagon, hence Christmas will see all the
corn in this vicinity husked. More corn
is on the ground in piles this year than
ever before, which will necessitate imme-
diate delivery in large quantities.

Extremely cold weather for this time of

serious, as very generally on the range
short feed is the rule. No one storm or
severe cold spell causes much loss. as
thoroughbred range cattle possess great en-
durance, but continued cold with frequent
storms accompanied with heavy snow. grad
ually destroys their vitality and paves the
way for ultimate loss. II there is no let-up
to the unusually severe weather we must
suffer great loss before spring. II condi-
tions change, and more favorable weather
should develop, do not think any unusual
loss will result. The old rule, as long as
there is life there is hope applies to cattle
on this range, but too frequent repetition
of bad weather will set us afioat. As re-
CARDS the destruction by wolves no unusual
loss has resulted this season in that drec-
ton, but they are at all times very
destructive and cause great loss to range
stock. During the past three days | have
seen the half eaten remains of seven cattle
