Farmers Fear water Famine.

MEETEETSE, Wyo. June 13.-(Special)
The lower Grey Bull is alarmingly low
and farmers fear they will not have uff-
cient water for late irrigation, in which
event many crops will be a total loss. The
Grey Bull usually carries a large supply OF
water, but lack Of snow in the mountains
and early thaws diminished the supply.
The Big Horn river is a raging torrent,
but unfortunately the irrigation canals
along this stream have not been completed
and the immense volume Of water is run
ming down into the Missouri and is being
lost TO this section.

AN OUTSIDE VIEW OF NORTH
DAKOTA.

People south and east of North Da-
kota are wont to think Of that state
as a land of wild un certainty; Il land
of poverty and hard toll; a state much
after the old time idea of Kansas,
full of enthusiasm, good air, good ap-
petites and long distances but nothing
much more substantial and satisfying.
The people of North Dakota can al
ford to be thus thought Of for the
solid benefit is theirs whatever ira
dition about the state may be.
North Dakota, counting the actual
production of the soil per capita.
which is the best test of Il states
agricultural wealth, is n OF the
richest spots or the face of the earth.
The state raised this year about four
teen acres of grain for every man, W0
man and child in it's population. 1t
raised forty bushels of flax and 23j
bushels of wheat per capita of popula-
ton this year, which sold for an ag-
gregate of $130 per capita. The state
has $50 worth of live stock per capita
and has more acres of good farm land
per capita than probably any other
state in the union.
Look at the figures of the crop this
year, says The Commercial West
an average crop of wheat, the record
crop of fax; seventy-fve million
bushels of wheat, fifteen million
bushels of fax raised in a state with
a population 10000 less than that Of
st. Paul and Minneapolis combined
The flax crop of the state is larger
than the crop Of the entire United
States has been in recent years. 1t ::
more than half the country's cro]
this season. Two hundred dollar
per capita in that state can NOR

ing to receive the attention which their
Importance warrants. The value of
such crops may be said to be largely
indirect, but their effect is far reach
ing and gives more of promise for the
future than do the direct money crops.
Forage is too heavy and bulky to ship
long or eve comparatively short dis
tances as is shown by the fact that two
towns less than one hundred miles
apart were selling bulk hay at four
and ten dollars per ton, respectively.
The growth of forage crops means
that animals will be kept to anu
facture them into salable products
which are condensed enough to ship
to market without too heavy expense.
Keeping live stock means that there
will be chore work during the winter
and hence a market for the time of
all able bodied men during the win
ter, and while it may not offer high
wages it brings more than does the
whiting of dry goods boxes. Time is a
perishable commodity. During harvest
per day in addition to their boarding.
Let it rain some morning and while
the men are just as able and willing
to work as they have ever been, their
market is gone and their time is worth
less. The nan who has fed a bunch
of stock all winter has made a market
save his wages. Forage crops have
an indirect savings bank value and
give their growers lump" sums of
capital to handle. Many a house,
barn, ~forty-acre piece of land or other
permanent improvement has come
from the sale of a bunch of live stock
because it brought in a lump sum of
money, which had it been turned over
to the man in small amounts at the
end of the respective months when
he sold his time it would have slipped
through his fingers and he would not
have realized that he had it.
Forage crops and stock keep up the
fertility of land and the man who pro-
duces them can farm for a life time
upon a piece of land and leave it as
good, if indeed not improved in fer
tility to bequeath to his successors.

Ants and Farmers.

One of the most interesting points
connected with ant existence is that
which shows Us the evolutions- which
has attended their ways ard works All
ants do not exhibit the same standard Of
reasoning power; some live at a lower
intellectual level than others; and while
certain species may be said to represent
the acme of ant-developTnent, others lin
ger behind IN the intellectual race. Re
Gently we had one of those useful cor
rections regarding certain ants which
exact observation affords. Prof W W
Wheeler, writing regarding the habits Of
a new farming or agricultural ant, which
was believed TO SOW ant rice and reap
It, tells us this belief must be given up
The ants certainly carry out from their
store grains Of the rice" which have be-
gun to terminate, and place them outside
the nest. There the seeds grow. and IL
has been believed that the crop thus ac-
cidentaIIy produced represented an actual
sowing Of the plant by the insects. The
growth OF the rice" is a pure accident
and the idea that these ants are farmers
will therefore require to be deleted from
the pages of the text books.-London
