The Marmarth Mail says that C. P.
Allison is so we'll pleased with his new
artesian we'll that he is considering
the drilling of one Al his residence.
MIR. Allison was formerly q big sheep
grower who marketed wool in Dickinson
in the good old stock days before the
Milwaukee was built through south. -
James shurtliff had 50 acres Of wheat
land that gave an average ..yield of IS
bushels to the acre. However, his 1910
fall plowed-wheat -land is hardly worth
cutting. Unless it rains again to soak
up the land Mr.. Shurtliff will not back
set any this fall, but he will have a
good engine next season and do all of
his blowing just before seeding time.
Ranger Sheriff of the National forest
reserve in Billings county. was in Bow
man last week and states that a repre-
sentative of a Minnesota nursery was in
that country lately gathering pine seed
which he will use in his nursery. He
believes that in raising pines from the
seed procured here he will have stock
that will grow we'll in North Dakota. So
far Ranger Sheriff has had no trouble
with forest fires.
Larimore Pioneer: Hans Anderson,
living on a part of the old Arnold farm
three miles west and ..one mile north of
Larimore. brought in a load of timothy
seed yesterday, for which he received
the sum of Sill. IS. The load was not
overly large at that, as it was hauled to
the elevator by only two horses. Mr..
Anderson contracted for the sale of the
timothy, about three weeks ago at a
stipulated price, but had he sold it at
the market price yesterday he could have
received over 5000.
Charles Martin, who lives on the old
Yauch ranch, out south, has seeded 20
acres to winter wheat and 20 acres ia
winter rye: He~:.1ecently disposed Of
his property in St. Paul and says he
will farm next year on a larger scale
than ever. The frost damaged some of
his flax on low land more than fifty per
cent but he has 200 acres that will yield
right around five bushels to the acre.
Sept. 2 Allenberg &Co. said Receipts
of grass range cattle this week ST., 500
same time last week $l3. 900, increase in
receipts this week 81, 500. All classes of
range cattle 10 to zoe lower than.a week
ago, the most decline was on the COM
mon to medium steers and she stock.
We look for decreased receipts for the
next few weeks and prices ought to be
better. We have had heavy receipts
of corn fed beeves this week which
helped to lower prices on range cattle.
We advise shipping all fat steers and
she stock at once.
