MORE BIG STOCK SHIPMENTS.


twenty-five Carloads OF Cattle shipped
East wednesday Night
Stock shipments from GOOdlsnd are
larger this year than they have ever
been. This comes from the fact that
the business is more fourishing, people
are in better condition To handle herds
and TO augment the output. The middle
Of last month this paper told Of large
stock shipments TO Kansas City and
places In eastern Kansas But even that
large transfer Of stock from this point Is
smaller than what vas billed out Of
GOOdland this week. Charles johnson
loaded ten carloads Of stock at the Good
land yards Wednesday night. They we're
billed to FormOsa, Kan, where Mr.. John
son has a large farm, at which place
these cattle vii be fed this winter.
Carter & Anderson loaded u carloads
Of Sherman county stock at Brewster
the same night. They were put into the
same train with JohnsOn's cattle. The
Carter & Anderson stock were billed 70
Des MOines, Ia. All these cattle were
grszed on land owned BY the shippers IN

Sherman County Man Tells OF Things in
Montana
Al Dubre, who settled on q claim in
the east part Of OF this county, and later
was proprietor Of the livery barn now
owned BY George Hopes, writes this
paper a letter from his home near Kslis-
pei, Mont. Mr.. Dubre left Sherman
county more than a year ago, and has
made things 60 in that country. He
says:
"As I was requested by some Sher-
man county people before 1 left there
to write letter to the paper, / viii nov
take time TO write a few lines. We 10
Gated three miles north Of Flathead
Lake, one and a half miles north Of the
Flathead river. and nine miles south
east OF Kslispel. You may think that
We are frOze up, but far from It. We
have not had any winter yet; the wealth
er has been temperate all along. I am
blowing for spring grain. There is a
government weather station at Kalispel,
and the coolest day recorded last winter
registered four degrees below zero. I
do not think the climate here can be
beat, take it the year round. We have
no hot, sultry weather in the summer
The nights are cool; there is very little
wind here, and DO sDowdrifts to wade
through. There is very little lightning
and thuder, yet lots Of rain. Last win
ter sleighing was good, and lasted long
er than usual
San abundance Of tame hay is raised
here, also oats, barley, wheat and rye;
no field cCrn, the nights are too cool.
They raise sugar corn for roasting ears.
Barley is cultivated IN place Of corn. 1t
looks very much like wheat, but is
much harder. ibis valley beats all the
places I ever saw for raising vegetables.
We raised 200 bushels Of potatoes on
One-half acre Of ground. One man mea-
suted Is feet square and dug go pounds
Of potatoes on the patch. The country
fair was good; they showed cabbage
that weighed 40 ponds to the head;
and turnips that weighed - pounds
each. We raised one turnip that weigh
ed y pounds and measured three and
oDe-balf feet in circumference, and
hundreds Of them that weighed from y
to ID pounds apiece. Apples grew as
large as a half-gallon cup. 1t is remark
able how fruit grows here.
Fuel is cheap, stove wood only 50
cents a load. Milk COWS and chickens
are fine property here. Their products
sell at top prices the year around. Kali
ispel has electric lights and is becoming
a nice town. I am pleased with the
country, which is rapidly improving and
promises to be one of the finest agricul-
tural districts in the west. Al DUBRE."

William Sylvester, fOrmely q resident
Of Sherman county, but now living at
Garden City, Finney county, Kan. was
in GoOdland few weeks ago. He raised
400 bushels of this grain, a1d was very
enthusiastic about growing this kind Of
wheat. 1T grew very tall and strong he
said, "and, although I am a six fOoter,
when standing in the growing grain the
heads came up to my chin
1t is given out the Topeka millers will
not handle this kind Of wheat The ex-
PLANTATION is easy. They probably have
not the necessary appliances for milling
this kind of wheat, and, besides this,
they make a run on "white Loaf -four,

DURUM OR MAGAROEI WHEAT
VARIETY OF WHEAT ADAPTED TO
HEAT AND DROUTH.
Can Be SOWE Either as Spring or Winter
Wheat-Ripens Earlier Than Other
yarieties-Is Proof Against
Rust and smut.

NJ A. Carleton. cerealist, United
States department of agriculture, re-
ports experi4euts with durum or macs-
roni wheats, which report is reproduced
in the thirtesbth biennial report of the
state board 81 agriculture, and is in
part as follows:
sDurum or MacarOni Bheats, of which
there are ten or more distinct varieties,
will only succeed in Kansas with a Ger
tainty when sOWn as spring Theats,
although IN certain seasons they 60
through the winter all right. As spring
wheats they ripen earlier than other va
rieties, and almost as early as ordinary
winter wheat.
They are especially adapted 60 re-
gions of intense heat and drought. They
require soil rich in potash, phOsphates
and lime, succeeding best on soils slight
ly alkaline. 1t grows tall and stands up
well, with broad and smooth leaves
with peculiar whitish-green color, and
an extremely harsh cuticle. The heads
are compact, sometimes short and thick,
and are always bearded with the longest
boards known among wheats.
The grains are usually yellowish-
white and extremely hard and CLASSY IN
fracture. There are many varieties, diff
fering IN size Of head, color and amount
of hsiriness Of chat, color OF leaves, etc
an east and south Russia, where
these wheats are extensively grown, the
climate resembles that Of western Kan
sas- The average rainfall is lower even
than that in western Kansas, ard fallsiin
the growing season IN thunderstorms,
with absense Of fog or mist, and inter
yening clearDess and dryness Of the at
mOspheTe and intense summer heat.
With nearly three inches less rainfall
than western Kansas, the entire semi
arid Volga region is one of the principal
wheat producing sections of Russia
Heretofore some millers have refused
to purchase and mill these wheats on ac-
count of their extreme hardness. This
objection to MOcsrOni wheat is not we'll
taken. for if properly handled, steamed
before milling, it can be readily ground
into -four which makes the best Of bread.
Mr.. Carleton on this subject says:
"At least four prominent -four mills
in this country are now known, by the
the writer, to be grinding these wheats,
and in every case bread made from the
flour is preferred, by those who have
ued it, above all other kinds. The bread
made from this -four has a richness and
flavor not found in other bread, and it
will remain palatsble longer, not so soon
drying out ard becoming stale.
This wheat is extensively milIed in
Russia for purposes Of bread making as
we'll as that Of macarOni, and for bread
making it has become very popular. The
bread made from this -four is yellowish,
as are most of the breads in Russia,
Greece, France and Italy. The Touring
mills in Russia are modern with the
Hungarian system of rolls, but inEari-
bly, steaming machines are employed for
mOistening and sOftening the grain

GRAIN SHIPMENTS TO EUROPE
Western Kansas Product Goes by Way OF
Galveston.

Western Kansas Product Goes by Way OF
Galveston.
Kansas wheat formerly went to the
Atlantic sea board. Now all this is
changed. Gulf ports are q thousand
miles nearer, and every year export bust
ness through these outlets is increasing.
D. Q. Houck, wheat buyer for the
Gulf Elevators, was in Goodland Wed
nesday. Among the important shipping
points in his territory, along the Rock
Island railroad, he named RexfOrd, Sci
den, Dresden, Jennings and Clayton.
The shipments from these points are the
largest in the history Of the country. 1t
is estimated that at Jennings alone the
dealers will handle quarter of million
bushels this season.
The ultimate destination Of these ship
ments are the Gulf ports. Fort Worth
is large distributing point, and the
company has a 10000 bushel elevator
there. The J. ROsenbaum Grain com
pany handle these shipments and do a
very large export business. At both
Galveston and Memphis they have large
elevators with 100000 bushels capacity.
Some Of this wheat goes to Mexico by
the way Of FL PasO. Some goes to Cen
tral and South American ports, but the
largest export is to Europe. The Rock
Island Frisco lines handles a large
amount Of this wheat haul, and all the
lines in Kansas having gulf connections
are doing an immense business.

The land Of western Kansas, even
since il raised itself from the bottom OF
the great inland sea and cast its waters
into rivers at the east and the ocean, has
maintained such bewildering expsnss
Of fiatness, that the mind that enter
tains any conception Of the ssrth's TO
tundity, has often wondered Why an
earthquake has not tucked little more
curve into this part Of the globe before
now. But il is never too late 70 mend,
and this week the eternal forces from
below began TO operate and the popula-
ton 70 quail.
Marion Walker, q Sherman county
.cattleman, was near Brewster IN Thomas
county the other day. and has returned
with the alarming report Of al earth
quake tremor il that locality. Mr. Wal
ksr was looking over some land south Of
Brewster, and drove 20 a house a mile
and half south Of the town that after
mood. And while there distinct tremor
Of the surface Of the earth frightened all
the occupants Of the house. The build
ing is frame. plsstered and .ospered, and
when the shock came the plaster was
crscked and the wall paper rent For
moment the sand ratified in the open
iDgs, they could not believe that there
had been an actual movement Of the
land surface until the condition Of the
house had been carefully examined.
But there was the evidence, and DO other
reason could be assigned than that the
earth was shaken 10 that locality.
As far as is known by the oldest resi-
dents Of western Kansas, this occurrence
is the only one OF the kind that has ever
visited the plains. No particular alarm
is felt over this unusual phenomenon
and the people have DO intention Of de-
sertiDg the fruitful plain With ali her
faults they love her still.

Gated 10 Lane county.
Mr.. King was In GOOdland Monday,
and, being seen by a representative Of
this paper, gave an account Of wheat
yields in Logan, Lane and Ness counties
where he has been at work harvesting
and threshing since leaving here a few
months ago.
He reports that Ness county raised
fine wheat crop and that the fall wheat,
put in since harvest, has made growth
Of six inches, covers the ground and is
looking exceedingly well.
Peter Harsbom, one Of the men for
whom he worked, raised 80 900 bushels
Of grain, of which $4,000 were wheat.
His brother, Charles HarsbOm, raised
81, 900 bushels Of wheat.
AS TO the yield per acre, he SAID that
Samuel Dubbs, a man for whom he
thresbed, had wheat that yielded %
bushels to the acre, machine measure;
and another wheat grower, living near
Oakley, Logan county, raised 80 buhels
to the acre.
In Lane county. where the Campbell
system is generally employed, wheat
yielded a general average Of 40 bushels
to the acre. Sherman county, be
thought, would do equally veil if the
soil was thoroughly titled and the same
system employed.
