to thresh enough to produce 1000 bush.
els of timothy seed and all the hay will

crop to raise in this country. There is
always a good market for hay. ,

A. A. Jackson of Hettinger is just
completing what probably is the largest
barn in this section of the state. It
is 50x7O feet with a 9K foot basement
under IA foot posts. The basement is
of stone and will be used for stabline
the stock. The s~upertrsucture is divided
into two stories. the first being used as
a granary and the second as a hay now.
The first story is so arranged that q
team can be driven through it the entire
length, and on each side of this drive
way are the Grain bus into which the
grain can be unloaded with little work.
In the basement is a we'll where water
is pumped with a gasoline engine. The
new structure is one of the most COM
plete and convenient farm buildings
for barn and eranary use.
Contrary to the generally accepted opin-
ion of the uniformed, the opening of
the Cheyenne and Standing Rock strips
to settlement next spring will not
materially affect the big cattle COM
panies who for many years have exer-
cised the right of eminent domain we
practically the entire country west of
the Missouri river and north of the
Cheyenne river in South Dakota. The
Turkey Track range lies largely outside
the strip to be opened to settlement and
this is also true in a measure of the
Diamond A, 10 and Mississippi pas
lures. The Matadorn company has
taken over a large amount of Indian
lands in the diminished reservation out
side the open strip, and their beef
pasture which lies south of the Moreau
river is not affected by the terms of the
Gamble bill. While it is true the open
ing of 3, 1000, 900 acres to settlement in
the two reservations will largely dimin-
ish the big company's ranges, yet they
will not be put out of business but on
the contrary will continue probably for
years to come to be important factors in
