/ NlcnOlas hrauSerG, VINO has been
baling hay near Chokio, had the mis-
fortune last week to have two of his
horses die. Swamp fever, he says the
veterinary surgeons say, was the all
ment which caused them to die.
Considerable corn has been cut and
put into shock since this date week
ago.
On Tuesday this week the card
price of grain at the elevators in Al
berta was as follows: Wheat number
1-91c per bushel, Wheat number 2
s9c. There is no number three wheat
coming in. Flax $1.31 per bushel,
oats Bic, barley 40c, macaroni wheat
soc per bushel, rye 54c. No rye and
very little macaroni wheat is being
marketed. Farmers continue to stay
by Blue Stem and it has stood by
them pretty well also.
Although much of the grain being
threshed is being placed in graneries
on the farms the elevators at Alberta
are receiving about all they can take
care of nicely. In one week the
Kennepin elevator company bought
seven thousand bushels. Prices of all
kinds and grades of grain at Alberta
this season appear to be the best
prices going which is a good thing for
the farmers and good thing for the
merchants.
