RANCH AND FARM.

Ignatz Dalezal raised 900 bushels Of
wheat this year.
C. A. Albrecht Of New England was
in Dickinson on Monday. Mr.. Albrecht
raised one of the best crops of potatoes
in the country this year. He has ESQ
bushels which he is holding for the
spring trade. His 10 acre field of corn
was frosted. but his crop of Hereford
calves, 81 head, was fine and on the
whole he has 40 complaint.
Frank Geiser sold $50 yearling wethers
at Richardton this year at 50. 05 per head.
Last year the same class brought 81.
The shipment was take into jamestown
and placed on stubble a month ago.
Frank Geiser had 90 acres of GOOD wheat
and oats this season. His brother,
Sebastian, had Is acres of wheat that
averaged 20 bushels to the acre.
Last week Paris g. Co. said of the
winter cattle market: THE tops of
Keogh Brothers steers at S.. IS were the
highest of the week, being here on Mon
day. Late in the week some very good
Canadian cattle arrived, tops making
SIS. IS. Some few other lots made SIS. Is
to SIS. IS, but the general quality of re-
ceipts was not very good. We sold
some nice little 1, los h., steers for John
Crowley at SIS. 10 and heifers at 81. 60,
these sales being notable for the high
prices at the weights.
Joe Ridl, a prosperous farmer, had
quite a good crop of potatoes this fall.
He brought in a good load this week
and had no trouble in selling them to a
local merchant for 10 cents per bushel.
Potatoes seem to be a small crop this
year and already inquiries are coming
from the east where the tubers are
reported as being a scarce article. AS a
rule potatoes are al easy crop in this
part of the country and it is very strange
that many farmres, who raise thousands
of bushels of grain, do not raise potatoes
enough LOT tnelr w use.
People who farm right in this country
are usually prosperous. 1t requires some
work and some %forethought, as the fol-
lowing figures from settlers living north
west of Dickinson indicate: The past
season, Vincent Kovash raised 2, ZOO
bushels of wheat and 1, 700 of oats
Frank Sadowsky, 2, 400 bushels of wheat
and 3, 500 of oats Anton Sadowsky had
about the same crop ]. S. Pirkl, 1000.
of oats and wheat Joe Sdmerad about
the same; John Wock, $500 bushels of
grain M. Brujin reports 2. 500 bushels of
wheat from $50 acres of ground Joseph
Hartinger, who was telling the PRESS
about the good yields of grain, says that
the settlers who do not think crops can
be raised successfully here. should 60
and learn how to farm for profit. Fisher
Bros, six miles north of this city,
raised potatoes as follows: Robt. Fisher,
l., 900 bushels Tom Fisher 800 bushels
John Fisher 500 bushels and Joe Fisher,
400 bushels. The Fishers raised a
splendid crop of potatoes last year and
there is little doubt that they will receive
less than ST. 90 per buhel for their crop
in the spring. They have aslo raised
grain and cattle. In fact, nearly all of
the prosperous farmers raise some horses
and cattle.
