partment Of agriculture relative to his
work in Europe, as a special government

Dakota experiment station. He has been
able to discover a kind of fax that is
immune from all kinds Of disease for two

Stock Losses Exaggerated.
CI1AMBERLAIN, IS. D-The business

muted homestead proofs for 2,760 acres,

season, when all previous records were
broken at the office.
Reports have been current in the press
of losses during the storm Of last week

lain. t h urslla correspondent has
interviewed such stockmen as Hugh Schil-

they declare they have been able to learn
OF no losses whatever as the result of
the storm. They also insist that reports
during the winter We're greatly exagger-
ated, and that losses will not average 10
per cent. Owing to the severity of the
winter unusual efforts were made to
guard against loss. the result being that
the loss is not greater, if as great, as in
ordinary seasons.
