together half a dozen cattle and num-
her of hogs have been affected and most
of them have been shot, some have
died. One of the strange things is
that practically no dogs have been at

This, together With other observations.
leads some to the opinion that hydro

Others shake their heads and ask il

Spirit Lake.
Dickinson county's bumper small
grain crop is nearly all in the Shock in
good shape. The weather clerk has been
very generous with sunshine in this
part OF the state since the harvest
season opened. which has aided the
farmers in gathering the crop and
stimulated the backward fields of corn.
1t will take unusually unreasonable
weather from now on to knock out one
of the biggest corn crops ever raised in
the county. A half days threSh-
ing on the Mott and Miller farm II the
close OF the week is a criterion of what
the best fields of oats will produce this
year. The small variety OF oats on
this farm so far as threshed turned on;
sixty bushels to the acre which would
Indicate that the larger variety will
yield eighty bushels TO the acre.
Sioux City.
Commission men say that more de-
ciduous fruits will be marketed in
Sioux City this year than for Il mum
Der of years past. 1t WAS estimated by
enc Wholesale fruit dealer the other day
that l75 ear loads of peaches. pears and
plums would be distributed in and
about Sioux City during the year of
1902. Last year there We're but II the
neighborhood of lis car loads distribu-
ted here, making q gain OF about sixty
car loads this year. These fruits that
come from California are estimated to
be worth from 5000 to $1,000 per car,
while those from Texas. Missouri and
other southern states are valued at sew
eral hundred dollars less. The freight
and refrigerator charges alone from
California are between $3.50 and $500
per car which is, of course added to the
cost OF the fruits. The total cost of the
deciduous fruits to be marketed here
this year will approximate $150,00O,
against $4,000 last year. The fruit in
most demand and having the largest
sale of these kinds are the peaches. the
sale of which will average twenty
baskets TO one of the other kinds.
