C., J. Russell recently sold a 2-yea,-
old-heifer to the Dickinson experiment
station for milk purposes at SIS. The
animal was given the tuberuline test be-
fore the station would take her. Mr..
Russell was naturally pleased 10 know
that the heifer would not react to the
test.
All June records were broken by heavy
cattle shipments in St. Paul this season.
A prominent dealer said the past week:
THAT the problem of dry weather is
worrying the stockmen of the northwest
to some extent and those of a limited
area in the immediate vicinity Of St.
Paul to a degrees which is forcing them

Charles Rifle wa in Tneaday from his
farm "a miles south. He brought in a
load of wheat for. which be received CSC
per bushel. He has quite q large part of
his 1909 crop in the eranary and will
be in no hurry about selling. as he looks
for wheat to 60 to the $1.25 mark, and
oats. he says, must advance in price.
Mr.. Rifle is n of those thorough farm
ers who reads. visits the Dickinson ex-
pertinent station and profits by what is
to be learned. He thinks that a man
who farms 100 acres we'll does very
much better than the man who boasts of
seeding several hundred acres without
the aid Of help. A season like this tells
you quickly where the good farmers are.
A drive through the country indicates
that quickly. AS to the condition of
crops. Mr.. Rifle said that while rain was
needed his grain fields were looking we'll
and he had reason to expect an average
crop.
A Miles City Mont paper last Satur-
day had the following to say of crop
conditions: UNLESS soaking rains fall
within the next 48 hours the outlook for
a bumper harvest in northern and east
ern Montana is very remote, as the
ground is extremely dry. The warm
winds which have been blowing steadily
in gusts for the past few days have
practically taken all of the moisture in
the ground, leaving it as dry az bone
dust. To the north and east of Great
Falls all of the different cereals are suf-
fering greatly for the want of moisture.
From Glendive 10 Mondak and all along
the Great Northern 8 main line west, with
the possible exception on the Milk river
country, where the supply of water for
irrigation purposes is running short.
everything is said to be slowly burning
up under the fierce heat and warm winds
of the last three or four days. A large
number of dry land farmers, who have
filed on thousand of acres in the north
ern section of the state within the past
few months, many of whom made many
Improvements. are becoming discouraged
and have already began talking about
going back east or farther west"
