BLIZZARD RAGING
Western Kansas Experiences Worst Storm for October in
Many Years--:Lipe Stock Caught Unprotected
on PrarieS and Loss will be Heavy

Kansas City, Oct. ga blizzard
prevails in Western Kansas, the most
severe for this time of the season in
many years. The eastern boundary of
the storm appears to be Ellis, Kan,
300 miles west of Kansas City. It has
been showing steadily for twelve hours
in that part of the state and the snow,
driven by heavy wind, is piling up
in the cuts, stopping railway traffic
and playing havoc with telephone and
telegraph wires. All trains are late
and wire communication with points
west of Ellis was for time lost COM
pletely shortly after noon. A hard,
cold rain preceded the snow for TWEEN
ty-four hours. 1t is believed that
heavy loss to stock, which were caught
unprotected in the plains, will result.

strain Of 500 per acre, which is
preposterous, especially when
top notch prices are already in
vogue.
Unimproved fruit lands can be
acquired at a much lesser figure
be that as it may, I shall leave
the reader to determine the feas-
Utility Of doing the grabbing
stunt. Right here I wish to say
that the secret of immense pro-
tit in farming consists not alone
Of the bountiful harvest, but the
increase Of real estate values
contributes itssjust share.
North Dakota is the proud
possessor Of all these requisites.
They may be had to the north of
lus in Canada and to the south of
US in Cuba, but are not to be
found in the coast states.
Of this fact no better proof
can be obtained than that advan-
ced by native residents who
themselves hail from all parts of
the middle states. All as one
will say they left their former
homes too soon, showing con-
clusively that while prices have
increased here they have practi.
cally been at a standstill there.
OF North Dakota it can be
truthfully said that the more one
travels and acquaints himself
elsewhere with existing condi-
lions, the more thoroughly he
becomes impressed with the fact
that this state, is after all the
one state of rare opportunities
One would do well not to ignore
the fact that a person making a
change should by all means al
low the vocation which he has
thoroughly mastered. Bear in
mind that any deviation from our
present mode Of work calls for
experience in different lines,
with which one is unaccustomed.

Cow, Talk.

There has been so much said and
written on the dairy that there ought
not 70 be SO many improbable cows
Kept. Which are you keeping-the
COW that returns a profit over and
above the cost Of her keeping, or the
one that runs you in debt? If. the
latter, why? It may be for her com
pany. do not like that kind of
company. Maybe for her good looks.
RMS might be all right if she did not
eat anything, but she will eat lust as
much q as the other one, and 81 would
give her all she would eat and turn

90 not like to milk and feed a COW
for the fun of it, and that is all one
gets out OF 1t by keeping such a COW.
How are you to tell these poor
boarders from the profitable ONES?
Not by the size of their feet or nd
ders, but by the use of the scales and
Babcock test. Weighing and testing
the milk four or five times in a year
will not tell the tale. Each cows
milk should be weighed once or
twice a week. I find twice a week
sufhc1ent. Then the milk should be
tested once or twice a month. Each
cows feed should be weighed and
charged to her at the market price:
this should be kept in a monthly rec
ord for one year. / have a smooth.
pllaaned board checked off for each
COW and month. In this way you will
know sllt at the end of the year how
much Ill milk each cow gives and how
much butter her milk will make. il
the cream is all saved by the use Of
good centrifugal separator, and by
deducting the cost Of keeping from
the receipts Of butter, you have the
profit or loss on each COW. fYonr
herd may return a profit, but more
than likely you will find that Won

i NEW FLAX rs BEST.

The new variety, of fax originated
by the Minnesota experiment station
omclals in cooperation with the
United States department of agricul-
lure, and distributed in 1905 to the
farmers of Minnesota, has proven a
very valuable variety for this state.
A pamphlet recently issued by the ex-
pertinent station, giving the results
OF the 1905 tests, shows this new fax
to have yielded 81 bushels or 26 per
cent. more than the common varieties
grown by the farmers. These figures
are based on the results of tests re-
ported by forty-eight farmers in diff
ferent sections Of the state, who grew
this fax and their common varieties
under similar conditions.
Every bushel of the fax grown in
1905 should be used for seed in 1906.
Every farmer who lis raising fax
should get some seed of this variety
and increase his yield, for an increase
OF 26s per cent. is certainly worth
while 1t means much larger in
crease In profits, for the cost Of grow
Ing is exactly the same.
The reports also show the new
FAX to be from five to ten days earlier
than common varieties, which gives a
consid erable advantage in escaping
damage from various sources, ana IN
getting ahead of the weeds. t@

grain, fax is probably as profitable a
