PRAIRIE HAY.

By this is meant all wild hay that
has not been cultivated, and represents
the chief product Of the state, as but
comparatively little tame hay is grown,
and shows one of the great resources
of the state for stock purposes. While
that is true, and most of our wild
meadows seem inexhaustible, yet it is
not good policy to overtax nature too
far. Some of our wiser heads. have
been casting about to find a substitute
that could be depended upon in all
kinds of easons to take the place of
the nutritious wild grass that now
grows SO luxuriantly. After several
years Of careful experiments made in
those parts of the state where the pre-
c%ipitation is not as graf as in others,
and where a O hardy and rugged
forage plant than the red clover and
timothy is required, have come to the
conclusion that in the perennial known
as Hungarian Bronze grass" they
have found a forage plant that will add
untold wealth to the state.

BIG BEND COUNTRY MEDALS.

The Big Bend country in Mclean
county, along the Missouri river, where
lies the Washburn land belt, was we'll
represented ait the Pan-American expo
sition, and its products obtained many
medals for excellence. E. G. Wash
burn received a bronze medal for a dis
play of Ignite coal from the Washburn
mines and honorable mention for dis
plays of bricquettes made from the
coal. A bushel of wheat from the
Washburn experimental farm, two
miles from Washburn, graded No. 1
hard, received a gold medal as the best
wheat on display at the exposition.
This speaks well for the kind of grain
raised in this section. N. w. Solen-
berger OF Hancock, Mclean county. al
so received a silver medal for corn
raised on his farm, on the table land
along the Missouri river. With such
success achieved by farmers in the
Washburn land belt, no one will doubt
the fertility or productiveness of this
section.

i'm the Work.

Mr.. Edwin @. Washburn, gen
eral manager Of the Bismarck,
Washburn & Great Falls railway,
and a son of General w. d. Wash
burn, is a young man of superior
ability and untiring industry. 1t
has been his aim to make his own
way through life, and he has been
successful in his undertaking. En-
lowed with a genius for mechanics
and invention, he already has a
large number of useful inventions
to his credit, principal of which is
perhaps his car coupler, which is
manufactured by his own company
and in use on many Of the large
railroads of the country. 1t is one
of the few automatic couplers
for freight cars. This coupler he
has added to and perfected until it
is covered with half dozen patents.
Aside from this he has three pat
ents on draft rigging, three on hexi-

ready flying and conditions were
anything but favorable. Under
the supervision of Nh. B.. @. Wash
burn machinery was installed that
enabled the company to take out
300 tons Of coal a day. This spring
he added to the equipment Of the
mine, which now includes 5 JEFF
fiery underwriters, one upright
cutter, 4 electric drills, one electric
pump, two large electric fans, two
100 horse power engines, two gen
orators and other apparatus. The
capacity of the mine this winter
will be 125 tons per hour, the nine
being equipped with a link belt
hoist guaranteed to lift 1875 tons
of coal an hour from the mine
level. There are the necessary
screening devices to obtain three
grades of coal, in addition to other
apparatus. Mr.. E. G.. Washburn

E. H. WALKER.

Mr.. E. H. Walker, traffic manager
and auditor of the Bismarck, Washburn
& Great Falls road, is a young man
who has grown up in the clerical de-
partment of railroading, and he is
thoroughly familiar with all Of the de-
tail work of the traffic department.
With a natural inclination for the
work, he has proved himself by. con-
slant application to mastery Of. the de-
tails Of his work, and his proficiency
gave him the position he now holds
with the road. Mr.. Walker, while yet
a young man, is the peer Of many rail-
road men of maturer years, and his
systematic management of the traffic
department of the road is OF equal
value, both to the management of the
road and to its patrons. He is a hard
worker, has a deep interest in the sue
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1901-11-30

he is fond of his home and family, con
sisting of his wife and two children.
and he occupies one of the comfortable
and commodious residences in Bis
marck.
Mr.. Walker has been especially &C.
tive in the introduction of Ignite coal
through this state and other north
western states. He has made this
work the object of his personal efforts
and his success is shown by the fact
that the output of the mine is now in
sufficient to supply the demand. Or
ders are received from all parts of
North Dakota, from many points in
South Dakota and some in Minnesota.
Mr.. Walker has interested practical
engineers in making tests of the steam
producing qualities of Ignite coal,
with such results that it is now being
used for many stationary engines.
State institutions are coming to the use
of it and a great advance has been
made in the consumption of the coal,
largely through Mr.. Walkers efforts.
He was at the carnival at Fargo last
spring with an immense single lump
of coal that attracted great attention
and brought in many orders for the
products of the Washburn mines at
Wilton.

SHEEP RAISING.

The national agricultural depart
ment has published a very comprehen-
sive work devoted to the sheep indus
trv of the northwest, from which we
CLEAN the following about North Da-
kota, the conditions of sheep hus-
bandry in that being summed up in
this way:
"a natural sheep country, with an
abundance of cheap food for both sum-
mer and winter; a climate pure and
i~nvigorating, the greater portion being
dry and healthful; grazing lands free,
especially in the public domain; every
where hay and grass r plentiful, and
in farming districts the refuse Of
wheat, such as straw and screenings,
make excellent winter feed. The
health of sheep is uniformly good, no
diseases of any kind being incident to
them.
Most of the fockmasters of North
Dakota are inclined to the opinion that
they have a little the best sheep coun-
try on earth, and think they can pro-
duce finer wool and mutton than any
other place in the country"
There is no attempt in the report to
controvert this claim.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1901-11-30
STOCK RAISING FACILITIES.

The Washburn land belt and the
broad acres of Mclean county r espe-
cially adapted to stock raising. It
requires on an average only about a
ton of hay per head to winter stock,
cattle being the only range animals
fed during the winter. Feeding is
done only during three months of the
winter. 1t costs no more to raise a
horse on the ranges of North Dakota
than it does a chicken in Iowa. They
are turned loose to range during the
winter and gain a good living from the
rich buffalo grass which cures on the
ground and furnishes excellent and
nourishing winter food. Cattle gain
flesh early in the spring when the green
grass shows through the ground and
are fat and ready for market by the
middle of May and the first Of June.
AS a stock country the ranges of Nc
Lean county are unsurpassed. -

Notes of ncLean County,.

RIVERS AND C~REEKS-Missouri
River, bounding the county for Ito
miles on the west, furnishes the finest
drinking water in the world, and gives
ample accommodation for steamboat
traffic. Douglas River, Turtle Creek,
Painted Woods Creek, Wolf Greek and
Snake Creek. All these creeks are con-
%tinuous streams, being feed principally
by springs, and but little affected by
dry seasons. These streams in many
instances have "bottoms" or valleys
along their margins, of great fertility.
LAKES-There r many fine lakes
in different parts Of the county, some
covering several hundred acres Of land
and some scarcely exceeding an acre.
Among the principal lakes are Turtle
Lake, Veeder Lake and Williams Lake,
all magnificent bodies of water. Long
Crooked Lake, about 8 miles long; Straw
berry Lake, about 8 miles, one of the
incest lakes in the west. and teeming
with fish; Lake Hattie, Lake of the
Painted Woods and several smaller lakes
also abound with fish.
SPRINGS-In every part of the
county springs Of pure, clear, cold weter
abound.
WELLS-Of clear, cold water are
abundant, and are usually obtained by
digging from fifteen to forty feet,
though. on the highlands along the
river it is necessary, of course, to go to
the water level.
SOIL--All that can be said in praise
of the soil of the famous Red River val
ley of the North, may in truth be said
of the soil of Mclean county. The soil
is generally a rich black loan, some
times taking a tinge Of grey, and usu-
ally resting on q clay subsoil. It ranges

In addition to his genius for in
vention, Mr. Washburn has made
railroading a study and has per-
fected himself for the work he is
now engaged in by careful research
and hard work. He is a business
man of exceptional tact and ability.
In a manner he is atfable, yet
business-like, and he has the re-
spect and friendship of all with
whom he comes in contact. In the
active management of the affairs
of the Washburn road he has dis
played excellent business judg-
ment, and a superior general knowl-
edge of the business of Transport

forceful and industrious nature
has been due much of the success
of the completion of the road to

and equipment of the extensive
coal mines of General Washburn

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FARM
ER AND STOCKRAISER.

Err AND STOCKRAISER.
With the completion Of the Bis
marck. Washburn & Great Falls rail-
road to the city of Washburn, 1t be-
comes the duty Of the Leader, as the
Oldest established newspaper on the
unper Missouri slope, and a long and
faithful exponent Of the and
advantages OF Mclean county, to pre-
sent to it's readers and to the farmers
and stockraisers of this and other To-
calities, an edition which shall convey
some accurate idea of the nature OF
Mclean county and the possibilities 1
farming and stock raising in this Sec
ton. In this edition Of the Leader
will be found a a of valuable 1nfor-
nation for the land and homeseeker-
the mar who is willing to work and
develop the soil. To that man NC
Lean county offers as great advantages
as any country on earth. The 1nfor-
nation contained in this issue Is &C
curate and truthful. The figures
given are verified from official records.
The experiences of farmers and stock
men which are cited herein are veri-
fled. The few instances given of the
success which has attended honest ef-
fort might be multiplied indefinitely,
but enough is given to prove that Nc
Lean county is an ideal country for the
small farmer-the man who invests
his little capital and his earnest labor
to achieve a comfortable independence.
This is not a boom edition. There
is no necessity to boom the region
along the Missouri river. It's value
has been established. But the prin-
cipal object of this issue of the Leader
is to call the attention of the farmer
who is renting his land in other states,
or who has $50 to 500 an acre invested
in land on which it is difficult to pro-
duce an adequate annual revenue from
the soil, the fact that at a small price
he may obtain government land or land
now held by large land companies that
are willing to sell at a low figure
land which will return many fold his
investment and assures him a comfort
able home and independence.
If this edition of the Leader shall
help with the good work Of settling
the vacant acres with good, substan-
1ia1 armnrs tn the end That the conn
try and the settlers alike shall be ben
ef1tted, then its mission will be full
filled and the objects Of it's proprietor
will have been attained.

CORN IN NORTH DAKOTA.

CORN in DAhOlA.
w. F. Cushing. who was assistant
manager of the exhibit of North Da-
kota at the Buffalo exposition, says
with regard to the showing made by
North Dakota corr and vegetables:
From the time this years products
began to appear in the exhibit, to the
last day. the booth was crowded with
astonished visitors, and all hands were
kept busy answering inquiries.
The judges of vegetables, although
New York men. made nc bones about
saying our exhibit, while no covering
half the space of many others, was
beyond question the finest shown. and
they told us nearly every article had
been awarded a first premium. The
total entries in this class were so num-
erous it will take some weeks before
the awards can be tabulated and made
known.
Perhaps no exhibits made more i'm
preston on visitors than our corn dis
play. The expression, you are a long
way from home where corn won't
grow had been generally attached to
North Dakota, and it required much
eloquence and reference to official doc
uments-and Professor Waldron's let
ter Of certification-to convince some
that the specimens were actually
grown here. To most visitors the
corn was a convincing proof that the
country was not the cold, cherries
waste they imagined it and they said
they would convey the news to many
at home who were looking westward
for new homes. Many ears of corn
were carried away for seed and we
took care that it was properly labeled
as being North Dakota Dent North
Dakota Mortgager Litter North Da-
kota Mastadon,' etc. The northwest
ern dent corn grown by Will & Co.,
Bismarck, and successfully tested this
year by Briggs & Co., the great Roch-
ester, N. Y, seedman, will be put on
the market next easo by them under
the name of North Dakota Dent.
1.-THE awarding Of a silver medal SEC
ond prize, to the state for corn, at
tracted general attention, many OF the
Buffalo city and New York state agri-
cultural papers containing articles on
the prospective early appearance OF
North Dakota among the great corn
producing states. In nearly every
case the notices were prophetic
of enhanced prosperity to follow, as
they all predict rapid strides toward
diversified farming and great develop
ment in dairy, cattle and pork interests
as a result Of corn culture. The full
allment Of this prophecy lies with our
farmers. Will they hasten or retard
the predicted prosperity"

nected, and his popularity and energy
are both valuable adjuncts.
Under Mr.. Walkers management on
the traffic department, the work OF the
road has been carefully systematized,
with the result that freight and passen-
ger traffic is attended with expedition
and satisfaction. Both in his per-

RAINFALL-No irrigation is required
in North Dakota. The rainfall is sufici-
emit to produce crops with as much GER
tainty as anywhere in the east. fEhe
soil is of such nature as to stand a Great
deal of wet or dry without destroying
the crops. The soil never bakes. The
rainfall in the Missouri Valley about the
Big Bend country is always heavier
than on the elevated table lands east or
west. The precipitation for May, 1899,
as shown by the weather report, was
over 5 inches, which in other parts Of
the state it was 3 and 4 inches or less.

North Dakota is the healthiest
state in the union, as shown by the
statistics compiled by the Marine
hospital service-the rate in the
towns Of this state being but 6 as
per l,OOO-the average in the

the Missouri slope is the healthiest
part of North Dakota. If the rec
ord was kept it is likely that in
