CLIMATE OF MISSOURI SLOPE

INTERESTING DATA GATHERED
BY THE STATE WEATHER BIZ
REAU, RELATING TO Temporal
TURE AND RAINFALL ALL OVER
THE STATE.
A study of the last annual report of
the weather bureau made by Director
B. H. Bronson for the year ending De-
cember 81. 1901, discloses some very
interesting facts regarding weather
conditions all over the state. A sum-
mary of the report is given below
which reveals the fact that Bismarck
leads all other sections of the state
in the mildness of it's winter climate,
while with respect to amount of moist
ure it only fell 81 of an inch below
the average for the state, which it will
be seen was but about one inch above
the normal, and according to the sub
Joined table our precipitation is but
$50 below the average for the state.
TEMPERATURE.
The annual mean for the state was
40.4 degrees, which is about 3 degrees
above the normal of A stations.
The highest annual mean was 52.5
degrees at Edgeley.
The lowest annual mean was 32.7
degrees at Milton.
The highest temperature recorded
during the year was 40 degrees, at
FIT. Yates on July Oath.

The general movement in lands
west Of the Missouri river and
throughout the slope section of the
state, is nothing but the natural result
of a condition of prosperity which ev-
cry settler who has come to this section
in the past ten years and attempted
to do anything has experienced. They
have invariably succeeded almost be-
yond ever the dreams of their desires
to place themselves on an independent
footing. This is the place for a will
ing hand and a ready heart, to soon
get on a firm financial basis. Men
in a few years in this locality become
independent than men of con-
siderable e to start with do in a
whole, well filled lifetime elsewhere.
The reasons are obvious: resources
unlimited, capital required small.
Land seekers, settlers or investors
will do we'll to take up the matter by
personal visit or correspondence with
the law firm of Nichols & Murphy of
Mandan, N. D., who are handling
North Dakota lands as an adjunct.
L.. N. Cary is among the oldest real
estate agencies on the Missouri slope,
having been continuously engaged in
that business in Mandan for more than
a score Of years, and none are more
familiar with the clay" of the country
than he. He has a very large list to Sc
lect from, and those who deal with him
may feel assured in advance of fair,
honorable and courteous treatment.

MORTON COUNTY

SOME STATEMENTS REGARDING
MORTON COUNTY CREAMERIES
THAT WILL APPLY TO ALL
OTHERS IN THE MISSOURI
SLOPE COUNTRY.
Mr.. c. F. Flint, whose close rela-
tons to the business render his state
ments authentic, writes thus concern
ing Morton county creameries:
Noticing that there is considerable
discussion throughout the state Of
creamery projects, a few notes of how
patrons and creameries are doing in
Morton county may be of some inter-
est and help to those who are consid-
ering the advisability of building or
patronizing a creamery.
Our creameries are owned by stock
companies and are operated on a 4 per
cent basis; that is, 5 cents per pound
is deducted for putting the finished
product on the market and the re-
mainder is divided among the patrons.
A creamery receiving 100000 pounds
Of milk a year ought to be able to pay
expenses when operated on this plan.
Men from older dairy states natur-
ally think that because we have not
a dairy type of COW nor feed for such
COWS as they have that they cannot
milk at a profit in North Dakota.
We find that our range cows, beef
Durham the predominating type, are
giving from 5000 to 1000 pounds of
milk in a year with only prairie grass
and prairie hay for feed.
Of course good shelter must be pro-
vided during storms and cold, but it
is no rare thing to see our best mich
COWS feeding on the prairies in the
winter months. Drouth that will put
a Minnesota creamery out of business
effects our pastures only to increase
the per cent of fat in the milk. A
churn yield of six pounds of butter
to 100 pounds of milk is not strange,

during the year was 43 degrees below
zero at Dunseith on December 18th.
The absolute range of temperature
for the year was 1913 degrees.

inch above the normal of A stations.

It will be noticed that with the ex-
ception of or two years, the aver
age mean for Bismarck exceeds that
for Fargo by a steady proportion Of
above five degrees in temperature.
The same comparison might be carried
out for the other winter months, and
with some otner of the eastern Sec
tons of the state with still greater
propOrtiOnate advantage to Bismarck
in the matter Of weather.
Whether the average mean tempera-
ture for North Dakota is increasing or
not is always a fruitful source of dis
cussion these mild winters, and it is
interesting to T.ote that at every one of
the stations established in the state
for the past ten years, the mean an
nual temperature for 1901 is higher
than that for 1892, in some cases by
several degrees, in others by only a
fraction of a degree, but the higher
is there, nevertheless,
In 1901 the last damaging frost in
the spring was late-June 18th and Sth
throughout the state-and the first
Autumn killing frost was September
18th and 18th. Nearly all corn and
vegetable crops were safely out of
danger.
The table herewith showing the
temperature and precipitation at Bis
marck since 1892 will be of interest.
Observe how timely-in the months of
June and July-is the rainfall on the
Missouri slope.
The Missouri slope region has more
sunshine and fewer stormy or partially
cloudy days than any other section
of the northwest.

state. For purposes of comparison,
take the stations in Walsh, Cavalier,
Stutsman, Grand Forks and Bottineau

WHITELAW REDS
MARROW ESCAPE

Whitelaw Reid, our special ambassa-
dor to the coronation of King Edward
VII, was the hero of little episode
which jolly old General Rosecrans was
very fond of narrating.
1t seems, according to the story, that
Mr.. Reid, at the time a young man.
was serving as war correspondent for
the Cincinnati Commercial-G Gazette
with Rosecrans' army in West Virginia.
He did some good work, but, one day
"Old Rosey' was astonished to see in
the paper, over the initials wv. r." a
dispatch describing the hopeless bar
barism and ignorance of the natives of
that part of the country, in which, by
the way of illustration, the writer saidt
so absolutely stupid are these peo-
pie that actually it has never occurred
to them, although they are such bitter
foes to the Northern cause, to cut our
telegraph wires"
Said Rosecrans:
Il sent an orderly to fetch Mr.. Reid
Whitley the boys used to call him
and said to him: DO YOU know that
! ought to have you shot?
"Mr. Reid looked unpleasantly sur
prised, and SO ! added: Apparently
you don't realize what you have done.
Here is letter of yours which have
been reading. You might just as well
have stood on top of tall tower in
Cincinnati and shouted through a
trumpet big enough and loud enough
TO be heard in Richmond. Why don't
you cut Rosecrans' telegraph Upon
