Sale Of Lands.

The state board of university and
school lands will offer for sale 200, 600
to 25O,OOO acres of school and inStitu-
tion lands this fall. The first sale
will be made in Sargent county Sep
tember 80 and they will continue from
then through the fall months. OF
this amount, a little more than half is
common school lands and the balance
institution lands. 1t is not expected
that all of this will be fold, but the
state board Of university and school
lands expects that enough will be sold
to give the permanent school fund
about 100000 to $500, 900 cash this
fall, this being one-tifth Of the esti-
mate purchase price OF the land.
There are about $1,000 acres in the
Red river valley to be offered for sale
that will probably bring ST to 800 an
asre. Outside the valley there are
some lands in Barnes, Griggs, Steele
and adjacent counties that will aver
age S11 or Sl2 an acre. There is now
a balance Of $1,000 in the permanent
school that has not been expended in
the purchase of bonds. The addi-
stion that will be made this fall will
swell the fund to half million and
give the state board an ample fund to
invest.

sheep, to the mutton breeds. This is
giving new emphasis to the decrease
in focks above referred to.
The chief reason for this last change
is an economic one. The relatively
low price of wool and the increasing
demand for mutton, the latter stimu-
lated by the improved methods of pre-
serving and transporting meats appear
to have revolutionized the sheep indus
try of the world. Sheep can be slaugh-
tered and shipped from one end OF the
world to the other. In 1900 it is said
that almost three million frozen weth-
ers were shipped from Argentine to
England, and 100000 from Australia.
There has been no marked increase
in the wool output of the world since
1896. Any similar increase that may
have been has been due wholly to the
wool taken from the mutton breeds
as they were slaughtered. The result OF
this tendency to eliminate the merino
heep cannot be fore casted at present,

bADLY SIALDED.

by Steam from n. P.

CraWled Into an Exhaust Box Satur.
day Night and Went
to Sleep.
Steam Turned on From Engine and
He is Probably Fatally
Injured.

Ed. Marks received probably fatal
injuries from scalding shortly after
midnight Sunday morning. Marks ar
rived a short time ago from Frazee,
Mimi. Saturday evening he decided
to sleep in a steam exhaust box near
the round house, not knowing that
the box was used for the purpose OF re-
ceiying steam from the Northern Pa
cific boilers. The box is large enough
on the side nearest the track to admit
person but is smaller at the other
end so that Marks could not go right
through it. Marks crawled into the
box and was soon asleep.
Shortly after midnight Engineer
McCabe took No. Il, the helper, down
to blow off the engine. The engineer
turned the steam into the box in which
Marks was sleeping for perhaps a little
over a second and then decided to shut
the steam off as the wind blew 1T back
on the engine. This decision on the
part of Engineer McCabe was all that
prevented Marks from being cooked
alive at once.
AS it was he was scalded from head
to foot. The engine pulled away and
Marks succeeded in getting out o1 the
steam box. There was no one near
and he walked to the Capital hotel a
distance of over half mile. On MS
arrival there he was placed on a
stretcher and taken to the city hos
pital.
There is some doubt as to his re-
covering as he has sustained fearful
injuries. The flesh on his lower lmos
which were nearest the engine IS
scalded SO that the skin has peeled OH.
All over his body he is scalded more or
less. He received prompt attendance
and was given opiates to relieve the
severe pains. Il
Marks is of German descent, Il years
Of age and unmarried. He is a strong
healthy young fellow and. has hopes
that he will recover.

LESS WOOL RAISED
Decrease in the Number and Kind
Of Sheep Mutton Sheep a
Good Price.

Washington, July l0.-Accordlng 20
official reports from the department.
of agriculture the wool industry OF Ghe
world has undergone NAKED decllhe
within the past few years The num-
ber Of sheep in Europe has decreased
10000, 600, or 10 per cent in ten years
In 1873 there were, for instance, 20
600, 900 sheep in Germany; in 1897 the
number was only 100000. Since
1880 Spain has decreased the sheep
holdings by SO per cent. Hungary as
compared with 1870, has only one-third
Of a supply. The flocks Of Great Bri-
tain, France and the rest OF Europe
Russia excepted, are, not increasing,
for all available grazing land has been
utilized for years.
Russia is the only old world country
which is increasing it's sheep supply
and even there the increase is not
rapid. 1t would seem at first blush
that this condition Of affairs was a
serious menace to the wool manufac-
turing industry, but this is not the
case, for the official reports show that
stocks Of wool are as large as ever,
while prices are SO low that producers
declare the industry is not remunera-
tive. 1t is said that the Australian
sf1ocks are falling of rapidly. In AT
sUentine millions of sheep were de-
stroyed by the floods OF 1900, and the
natural increase has not more than
one half overcome the depletion. In
the United States there are fewer
sheep than there were ten years ago,
but it is noticed that the number is
again slowly increasing. The gov
ernment calls attention to the gradual
change from the merino, or tine wool

Sheepherder Confesses he Killed the
Man Whose Body Was Found IN
Sheyenne River.
Took Possession of Victims Team

CeaI Crime.
Body Was Weiohted With Stone and
Sunk But Came up ia
Two Days.

Valley City, n. D., July l5-A
sheepherder named Vail, employed on
the Nester farm just north Of Valley
City has confessed that he murdered
the unknown man whose body was
found in the Sheyenne river north OF
the 500 bridge recently. The MUIR
derer says he noticed his victim camp
ing on the river and came down to
talk to him. Then he says they be-
came involved in a quarrel and the
team owner was shot with a A calibre
revolver. The murderer continued
herding the sheep the next day and
left the body of his victim lying in
the sun. That night he brought a
sack from the Nester farm and weight
ing it with heavy stones tied the sack
around his victims body. The body
sank to the bottom of the river but
two days later it again rose to the
surface and the old saying that muir
der will out" was exemplitied. The
sheepherder took the team and outfit
of the murdered man which included
watch. He explained that he had
bought the team. This is the sub
stance of his confession.
Only a portion of the storyesof Of the
murderer is believed by the police.
Their theory is that the sheepherder
noticed the man camped near the
Sheyenne and conceived the idea OF
killing him for the possession OF the
team and wagon. This he did dis
posing of the body as he has confessed.
The arrest was made by Chief OF
Police Burt of Valley City who will
receive the reward Of $500 offered by
the commissioners Of Barnes county.
It has been found that the victim
came from the Flathead country in
Montana and that his name is Holm

VISITORS PLEASED
The Excursion to State Agricultural
College and Experiment
Station.

The farmers excursion of so men
from this county to the experiment
station and the agricultural college
arrived at Fargo Monday night and
the visitors were taken Tuesday to
the institution and shown every
courtesy. The work of the expert
ment station was gone over, and the
various crops now growing inspected.
The college is located about two
miles north of Fargo and the soil
worked in, is of course considerably
different from that in the western
part of the state. Everyone who
went pronounced the trip interesting
and instructive and we'll worth MAX
ing. The liberality of the Northern
Pacific road and the efforts of the in
structors were given high praise. The
trip will stimulate discussion and
arouse interest in the business of
farming, with those who desire to
gain information on the same. The
year being exceedingly wet the best
results in the cultivation Of some Of
the crops could not be had, but the
general work of the college was mat
ter of satisfaction to the visitors.
The different methods Of cultivation
of the soil was matter of great in
terest. The talk given in the after.
noon by President Worst was very in
structive.
The growth of Bronze grass was one
thing that specially interested the
farmers from this part of the state
and the success in growing that grass
showed the possibilities of raising a
supply Of hay. Bronze grass kills all
wild barley and weeds and is a hardy
plant. After it has been grown for a
number Of years on the same ground
it gives the soil special strength
for. other crops. 1t makes a fine pas
ture grass, and farmers who saw the
success OF the crop are enthusiastic
over it.
The folly OF attempting to grow flax
repeatedly ON the same ground was
shown. Flax seeded in 1895 and plant
ed continually since, showed field, in
which nearly every spear died. Flax
is not good for over two crops on the
same land, and should not be sown
over one inch in depth, as that

Poluu lOI CREAMERY ana III 4OO COWS
can be had for a start the number will
grow as the farmers of the county
learn of the benefits to be derived.
This has been the case in every state
where a creamery has been started.
In Minnesota over 100 new creameries
have been put in in the past year.
He says that the plant can be started
either on the cooperative plan or on
the plan OF buying the cream outright,
and that in the latter case he can
afford to pay within cents of the
New York prices for butter, for the
farmers butter fat. Some part of the
profit Of the creamery is in the other
materials added to make the standard
creamery butter, such as the salt,
water &c.
Skimming stations can be started at
several points in the county, if neces-
sary, in case the farmers do not gen
orally get hand separators. The
Babcock test for butter fat in both
milk and cream is the one accepted
generally.
The probabilities are that the work
| can not be commenced this fall as the
farmers will not be ready and their is
no use to start until all the arrange
ments are complete for permanent
run. Another important thing is
that arrangements for winter dairy
ing should be made, as it is more pro-
titable in winter than in summer and
August and September when farmers
are especially busy should be made
the dull months and the cows given a
rest. 1t will be necessary to have the
COWS or part OF them, fresh in Octo-
Der SO that good supply of milk can
be had in winter. At that time
farmers are not as busy and it will
give employment for which cash can
be had, at time of the yegr when no
revenues are coming in. In Iowa and
wherever the creamery business has
been made success, the farmers are,
in many cases able to pay all their
hired help, and the entire running ex-
penses of the farm from the creamery
checks, and the crops are looken on as
the profit.
Preparations for beginning work
early next spring should be made this
winter, the buildings made ready and
the farmers prepared for supplying
cream.
Mr.. keachie says that the mer-
chant can greatly help the project and
in every town they find that the
cash received is spent in the local
stores.
One Jamestown merchant ships
about LOCO pounds of butter of all
grades a week and others are shipping
more Or less to factories to be made
over and sold at a high price in the
eastern markets.
W. L. Sawyer of Edmunds, an ac-
quaintance of Nh. keachie's says that
the number Of cows in his vicinity
have more than doubled in the last
three years, and that the farmers
there would patronize a creamery or a
skimming station, without doubt if
they could get good price for their
cream and the number of COWS would
increase
