On TUESDAY,, October IS, at Devils
Lake, N. D., Frank Hyland will sell Io2
head of registered Shorthorn cattle.
This is mi of the very best beef and
milk strain herds in the country, and we
hope that many of our readers will at.
tend this sale. No farming country on
earth has for long prospered without an
abundance Of cattle. As J.J. Hill, Prot.
Shaw and all great Northwesterners say,
Farmers, get good cattle and get them
quick" .,. Up
Reports from the Black Butte settle
ment indicate that grain is not yielding
as we'll this season as it did last year.
At the time of harvest the straw gave
promise OF a much larger yield than
what the machine measure shows. The
average yield for oats, on sod and old
ground, is not over IS. bushels. The
average for wheat is about. 10 bushels,
while flax is perhaps as low as 7 or 8
bushels. Reports from Mott and Hors-
will are about the same. The yield of
grain around Dickinson, Gladstone,
Taylor and Richardson is. also disap-
pointing. Mere than this. the grain
does not grade as good as usual. How
ever, the price of grain is much better
than it was last year, and the farmers
are realizing, in some cases, almost as
much as they have in other years. The
season of 1907 appears to have been ex-
tremely ~unfavorable for crops in all
parts Of the country. No one in these
parts is complaining, and the probable
tiles are that our settlers are in a posi-
ton to get through the winter with less
deprivation than the farmers of other
~%~kno .....'.
