GOING IN FOR LIVESTOCK

FARMERS SELL WHEAT

ever n Was bit It isn pG the Whole y thing
any more. This on the dixit of Charles
McKissic, the Danny, ng-headsd gen
eral superintendent Of the big Grandin
farm at Mayville, N. D. Among those
who have been familiar with his
twenty-four years as the manager of
din farm, Mr.. McKissic is known as
probably the most practical farmer in
the world, as he is one of the largest.
Mr.. McKissic was in Minneapolis yes
terday, accompanied by his brother,
who manages James j. Hills famous
farm north of St. Paul. The Mayville
man said that on the big Grandin farm
he had put on a side line Of livestock.
Two carloads Of hogs, fat and finished
from the farm to the twin cities. On
the big tract he manages, feeding yards
have been set off for cattle and hum
dreds Of promising beeves are ranging
the fields set apart for them. For fin
ishing' the beef and pork Mr.. Nc
Kissic directed the cropping Of sew
eral hundred acres to corn, and the
result has shown that his Judgment in
planting that grain so far north was
not at fault. ~
While the livestock venture has
passed the experimental stage, however,
uct Of the Grandin farm. Even in this
year of notably hard luck the big es-
tate has averaged, under its careful
management, ten and half bushels
to the acre. -
"Of course it is spotted,' said Mr..
McKissic yesterday, "but the farm is
so large that we have had all kinds Of
fields and the better ones were good
enough to give us a very respectable
average, all things considered. The
same spotted condition prevailed all
over our part of the state, but prices
are so we'll up that just about as much
money as usual will go to the wheat
growers. We are in much better shape
UP our way now than we used to be to
realize on crop to good advantage.
Of course the Grandin interests have
keeping in touch with the market, but
the smaller producers used to have to
take what the buyer offered. / want
to give one Of your Minneapolis firms
Edwards, Wood Co.-credit for chang
ing this. When a progressive firm like
this opens offices thruout district and
makes it easy for the farmers to know
lust what wheat is actually selling for
daily in the world 8 markets, the grain
growers cannot help but be benefited.
They know the value of what they
have to sell and I can assure you that
up our way the wheat-raisers are duly
grateful to the firm which has brought
This about. The competition thus in
troduced naturally causes friction once
in while among the bidders, but it IS
all to the interest Of the farmers, TOR
they have the wheat

Along the Great Northern main line
from Grand Forks to Minot are six
branch lines extending northward be-
ginning at Grand Forks, Larimore,

from Thief River Falls west will cut
these lines and cut at the heart Of some
of the richest Great Northern territory.
Now comes the Great Northern plan
ton which strikes back at the 500 so
effectually as to make it appear i'm.
probable that both plans can be carried
to maturity. -
The new Great Northern line as out
lined in maps with it's last annual re-
port, begins at Warren, Mimi, and runs
thru Ardock and Pseck to Hampden.

ABSENCE oF LAKE EVAPORATION
TO BLAME FOR HIGH STAGE.
Weather Bureau Reports Show that
There Have Been but ~ Clear Days
in Five Months Clouds and Rains
Have Predominated Lake Mime

In the past five months, June, July,
August, September and October, there
have been but twenty-seven clear days,
a record which is almost unrivaled in
the weather bureau records except in
the summer Of 1908. The records show:
June, seventeen days cloudy, twelve
partly cloudy, fifteen rainy; July, ten
teen rainy; August, eleven. cloudy,
twelve partly cloudy, nine rainy; Sep
TENDER, thirteen cloudy, eleven partly
cloudy; seven rainy; October, up to
the 28th, nineteen cloudy, four partly
cloudy, fourteen rainy. The rainy
days are only called such when more
than one one-hundredth of an inch
falls.
The remarkable number Of cloudy
days has had decided effect in the
last two years in retarding the evapor-
alton in the lakes Of Minnesota and is
especially evident at Lake Minnetonka,
where the water has reached very
high stage. Records of the height Of
Lake Minnetonka have been kept by
George W. Cooley, the county surveyor,
since July, 1881. j.
