Welt Pleased With Map.

The publishers of the new Stuts-
man county map, which was referred
to in a recent issue, have delivered
the maps from which orders we're
placed some time ago in this city,
and in..every case the purchaser Of the
map has been more than pleased with
the work, and in several cases the
order has been increased. Land firms,
schools, offices, banks and all other
parties to whom good county map
is valuable, can appreciate this map
1t is the only complete map with a
correct representation of all the
townships, with up to date informa-
tion prepared for Stutsman county.
Tho accuracy of the topography of
the map is specially noticed, and
this was obtained by taking the late
United States geological survey as a
basis and this survey being checked
over in each township by some one
or more of the older and best posted
residents of that township.
The names of land owners we're
complete at the time OF the printing
OF the map, and will always serve as
a guide and descriptive reference In
future years the history of the coun-
ty, printed on the map, will be OF
great interest both to old and to new
residents.
The county records were used as
basis for securing ownerships given
on the map of each section, half or
quarter section or smaller subdivi
sion of land. School locations we're
verified. by clerks Of school districts,
and the state superintendent OF
schools has given the map firm 9
hearty endorsement for accuracy in
the work of map publishing done In
numerous other counties, and recon-
@mends the purchase Of good county
map by school districts for the pur-
pose of teaching local geography,
which is as important as much Of the
foreign geography taught.
The map is also made in plat book
style, substantially bound. The map
is published by the Van Valkenbu1gh
Map Co., Rockford, i'll. .g a49.
A few samples have been left at the
Alert office, where the maps can be
seen by any one desiring to purchase
or to examine it. u. #.

Macaronl With Oats.

Heavy oat crops are reported all
over the Dakotas, and some OF the
Minnesota lands adjoining the Da'
kotas have record breaking crops OF
this kind, says the Dakota Farmer.
A few farmers are finding that mac
aroni wheat, sown with oats, adds
greatly to the weight and worth Of
the grain for feeding purposes. In
more eastern portions of Minnesota,
where macaroIii wheat is not grown
as wheat alone, some farmers make
practice of sowing about peck OF
maca1oni to the acre With the oats.
The combination MAKES a splendid
feed, and much OF it can be grown to
the acre. Where the oats are to be
cut early. to be fed In the bundle,
We do not consider the macaroni
equal to some Of the smooth wheats,

REDUCE GRAIN Rates
A Reduction in Grain Rates Made By
Railroads In North Da.
kOta,

News comes from the Minnesota
state rain and warehouse commits
sion, that the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and 500 lines have
filed notices Of reduction of ten per
cent on grain rates. The reduction
will apply to all territory more than
SO miles from the terminal and in
Guiding practically all 1.-The territory
in which grain is raised. The three
roads named made proposition re-
Gently to the railroad and ware house
commission Offering to reduce the
grain rates ten per cent of the COM
mission would suspend sthe pending
hearing on merchandise rates. The
commission, owing to Opposition,
declined to accept the proposition,
and later on the suggestion of Gov
e1nor johnson gave notice of an in.
quily into the grain rates. The three
roads then vo'lntara; cl.]ed the a no.
tice of reduction.
The reduction was made voluntar.
lily, and came in time to be of benefit
in the shipments Of the present large
crop in this state. It is probable
that North Dakota will lead Mime
sofa this year in grain production,
and become the first state in the
union in that line of agriculture.
Heretofore Minnesota has been first
and this state second with South Da.
kota third. With the increased acre
age and the present prospects for
yield, it is estimated that the North
Dakota crop OF grain of all kinds will
total 100, 100000. bushels and with
the reduction granted, will mean a
saving to the farmers of the state OF
81, 100000.
A..similar reduction in grain rates
was made a year ago.

STAY BY CATTLE.
History of Former Price Periods
Shows Such Is Best
Policy.

Elimidating:the possibilities Of trust
influences on the prices of cattle,
which influence and methods have
prevailed both during the low and
high range prices IN past years, the
advice of all we'll posted parties to
the cattle raiser of the west is not
to go out of the cattle business.
Breed --up to good grade of stock,
have patience and the high profits Of
few years ago may again be seen, or
If not the high level of that period,
good prices are almost certain to pre-
vail. Good cattle in proper condition
will then bring the reward in food
prices that poor stuff will not.
Mr.. f. G. Minkler, Iowa Agricul-
tural college, in the Agriculturist,
advises farmers to stay by their Oc-
cupation. lie says:
"Not long ago farmer friend
asked where he could find a market
for his cattle. Il want,' he SAID,
some one who is willing to take the
whole lot of my bands, for l am 60
ing back into the sheep business
again. It is always my luck to have
on hand a lot Of low-priced stock
when prices are low. cannot afford
to feed my grain to Accent cattle
when mutton Is selling at cents.'
"This is not a case of mere luck.
but case OF bad Judgement. Ten to
one he will have on hand bunch OF
low priced lambs If he persists in
making the change. He is only q
striking example Of tail-ender, one
who tags.along about stones throw
behind. If he is not wise enough on
far seeing enough to see the folly Of
such q system Of hit and miss (mostly
miss management, he ought be brand
ed as chronic grumbler. The men
who really succeed In animal hus-
bandry are those who start into busi-
ness with a growing determination; !;
those who foresee and expect dull
times, but press all the harder during
this stale period in the hopes Of a
brighter future. If you start into the
cattle business, stick to it. Under
no circumstances be Quitter. Do
not depend upon luck for success, but
rather upon good judgement, for that
Is all luck Is anyway.
"There is an old saying worth re-
peatiug: when prices are low, stick
In when prices are high. stick OUT.
"This mags mean to one, change.
to another. continue; but in any
event be moderate In CHANGING. New
er buy an animal simply because it IS
cheap. Make sure that you really need
such an individual. know OF one
man who Stuck in when cattle were
high and bought some Jersey steers
simply because they looked cheap. 1t
is true they did look cheap but proved
expensive. The man who is persis.
tently changing from one occupation
to another is gradually going from
bad to ..worse,' and If he is..not ex-
ceedinglY careful he will stick in so
far that he can barely see out, let
alone ever being able to get out.'-

Whether this will be more noticeable
