Lisbon, N. D., Oct. 14.-As, I travel
thru Ransom county note the large in
crease in the number of horses, cattle
and hogs since my former canvass Of
this county three years ago. In con-
versation with farmers I find that the
raising of stock is extremely profitable,
and farmers who formerly resided in
Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa tell me
that it pays much better here than it
did there.
! The native grasses Of the North Qa-
kota prairies ripen in the month Of Au-
gust with all the native juices retained,
and this ripened grass furnishes the
finest kind Of forage for horses and
cattle, and find that when the snow is
not so deep, but that the grass can be
reached, that it is not necessary to feed
hay to stock during the winter time
Several farmers told me that since the
winter of 1897 many Of their horses and
cattle have ranged on the prairie con.
tinuously thru the winter, with the ex,
ception of about one month last winter
and that they came out in the spring
in good condition. AS there is an album.

with grass which is thus far practically

the past few years and the especial
growth of the city this year. -Four
years ago Minot was a little country

There were few brick blocks, no side

street, and walks on side streets were
a great luxury; The town had an old

been well started. Minot was known as
a railroad town, the center of a large
stock country. There was some farming
in the vicinity Of the city, some up
and down the Mouse. valley. but. the
general impression in the western part
Of the state was that this was a stock
country and not worth great deal for
agricultural purposes. But most of the
land In the eastern and central portions
Of the state, or, at least, the better por-
tions,. had been fled upon, and there
remained only the vast areas Of land
in the western partS3free to- the home
seekers of the middle central states. In
1900 there were less than 10000 acres
planted to wheat in Ward county, which
is larger than the state Of Connecticut.
But there was "a good yield, larger to
the acre than in the Red River valley,
the bonanza wheat region of the world.
The next year the, wheat acreage was
about 10000, and while in other .por.
tions of North Dakota the grain crop
was not large per acre, in Ward wheat
yielded from twenty to thirty bushels
per acre. Thousands of new settlers
came In 1900 and nearly all Sof these
planted flax, which was better suited

dreds. Of. farmers had large fax yields,
some as high as thirty bushels per acre,
which sold as high as $1.35 per bushel.
The flax and wheat yield was so
much better r in Ward county
that year than. elsewhere in the state
that people in other sections began to
pect that the, stories that the northwest
was good only FOR stock raising and un-
fit for grain raising were untrue. In
1902 came the great rush for land. In
the Minot land district more filings
were made that year than in any other
land district in the United States. The
record was kept up in 1903, and tho
the + rush lnxl9O4 has n not been SO great,
t. has been large The reason th Of the
that the country; is filling up and the
more desirable quarters had been filed
upon; that at least was the impression
that prevailed. This year over 100000
acres were planted to wheat, and it is
estimated that the average yield is full
l northern. Yields Of twenty five, thirty
and thirty-fve bushels per acre of Fife
wheat are frequent, while Durum
wheat averages over twenty BUSH
els per acre. Just now the farmers are
in the midst Of the sthreshing season,
and are hence very busy. But they are
happy: For the most part the Yields
have been larger even than expected,
and the prices higher than hoped for.
Many farmer has received as high as
$25 per acre for his grain crop on land
that has, q market value Of perhaps $40
per acre. Land is cheap here, not be-
cause there is little demand for it, but
because the area of farming territory
is SO immense that eastern farmers can
have no conception of the size Of the

changing the soil and incidentally get
ting the hay therefrom.
No kind Of stock pays better here
than hogs. There are no hog diseases,
cholera has never been known in the
state, and they are raised very cheaply
and proftably. They are fattened on
corn, barley, speltz and millet, and mil
let-fed hogs from Ransom county have
topped the Chicago market twice in the
last two years. A stock dealer told me
this morning that during the past year
more than 100000 worth of hogs had
been shipped from the station of Lis
bon alone, and that during the coming
year he estimated the shipments at
$4,000. ~:
While there are not many sheep in

am satisfied from my observation
! that the number of cattle and hogs in
Ransom county has increased 500 per
cent i'll the last three years, and those
best posted tell me the increase will be
still greater in the coming two years.
Diversified farming is the cry here now,
and the farmer who has not some stock
in connection with his grain raising is
| very rare exception. If the history
| of North Dakota continues to parallel
| that of other western states for the
next ten years, ss it has for the past

the wealthiest counties in the west.

it is probable that she herself would
declare against the withdrawing. For
in the drama of medieval Italian his.
tory, she is splendid adventures. To
make her out a creature of circum.
stances, merely, is to rob that history Of
one. of it's most picturesque and fasci-
mating characters; it is to push the lady
herself back among the puppets that
danced only when some dominating per-
sonality pulled the strings.
The public certainly has right to
protest against the whitewashing
process. IF it continues, the, time will
surely come when there will not be
single wicked man or woman in all his
tory. Each one will have been done
over with the pastry white stuff. His
tory to be interesting. needs its Rem
brantesque effects of light and shade.
In the interest of history, therefore, the
protest should be voiced The histori-
cal novelist can make the black blacker,
and the white winter, but they should
not attempt to introduce a uniform
color. Nobody wants it.

Wheat is the great staple crop Of the
North Dakota farmer. The wheat crop
in the state in 1902 aggregated 43,000,-
900 bushels The conditions favor the
production Of the finest wheat ino the
world alta minimumi cost, and for many
years to come this will continue lead
ing crop.
The entire western part of the state
is -eminently a stock raising Sec
ton, rather. than an agricultural, and
will so continue, because it is better
adapted to stock-raising than to grain
raising, and yet the latter is steadily
increasing in Importance in the west
ern part Of the state. On the other hand,
the eastern part of the state, which dur
ing it's earlier years was devoted almost
a steadily increasing attention to stock
raising, and this branch Of farming is
the most important in the entire state,
next to the culture of cereals.
f. In 1900 the number of dairy cows
was 125, SOB, other meat cattle 531 ,93l,
horses 395,94S, sheep 45l, 437 and swine

James j. Hill gave the stock-raising
industry something Of an impetus
some ten years ago by importing high
bred animals to the number of more
than a hundred for breeding purposes
and presenting them for this purpose to
as many representative farmers in the
northwest who were interested in stock
raising. <...'>
| Costs Of Production Contrasted.
An idea of the cost to place on the
market a three-year-old steer in this
section as compared with that in the
states Of Iowa, Illinois, Michigan or
Indiana, can be had by; noting the diff
ferent methods of raising, the steer. In
all of the above states cattle>are fed
in the winter, in sheds or stables, and
before they are taken to market are
stalled with grain or mash
/ In North Dakota they can do the
same; but those who make business
Of raising stock do not. Cattle run
out winter and summer. The fall after
the steer is two or three years old he is
fat and ready for market. A well
known stockman of Iowa is credited by
an agricultural paper as saying that it
/ cost him on an average Of $3.50 fol
! each three-year-old he placed on the
4 market, and. it is safe to say that the
same steer could be made ready fol
market for $40 and perhaps less or

most black in color, being darkest in
the valleys, where it is also deepest.
North Dakota has been given a black
eye on. several occasions in the past
thru misrepresentation of it's climate.
There is at least ten times the suffer

kota. And there is far less suffering
from winter cold in North Dakota than
in many sections far south Of this state.
North Dakota has cold weather in win
ter and so they do in Iowa, in Michigan
and in other states farther south. The
great difference is that Dakotans pre-
pare for the cold, expect it in the win
ter, and are not bothered in the least
when it comes. The dryness of the win.

more than compensate for the difference
of few degrees in temperature.

Chicago is the cause of much more dis

weather ever fears loss, and these shell

The farmer who has been wise enough
to devote some Of his energy, his ,capit
tai, his farm and his good common
sense to raising stock, always has d
harvest at his command. Prime North
Dakota cattle are always in demand at
the top-notch prices in the markets and
he can, generally get the cash for a
time he wants a little pocket money.
Many farmers who few years ago
were content to raise grain only are
now raising stock proftably, and at
the same time are steadily enriching
their lands instead Of depicting them,
as in the case with grain alone. -.

The dairy interests of North Dakota
it may be taken FOR granted that they
will steadily increase in the years to
come and that the state will become
famous for it's dairy products.
