Cost of RAISING Wheat.

Including the item of rent, the cost
Of raising Waeat in the year 1909
was estimated by the department of
agriculture al &c cents a bushel; the
cost of raising corr was 3S cents a
bushel, and the cost Of raising oats
was 81 cents a bushel. These figures
are probably a reasonable statement
of fact where the three grains are
successfully grown. The average
wheat fields were SO acres; corn
fields, 80 acres, and average Oat
fields, % acres. The wheat cost the
farmer to raise it s11.15 per acre;
the corn $12.17 per acre, and the
oats, $1O.91 per acre. On the selling
basis of 80 cents a bushel on farms,
the wheat showed a profit of $3.50
per acre; on the selling basis OF GO
cents a bushel on farms. the corn
showed a profit of s7.S2 per acre; on
the basis of 40 cents a bushel at the
farm, the oats showed a profit of
SAT- per acre. These are the figures
of 1909. Today there is considerable
decrease in price of grain and farmers
are not making any such profits.

BIG DEVILS TOWER
Rock Is One of Uncle Sans Ma
tionaI Monuments.
Gigantic Stone Rises Upward 1880
Feet From the Level Plain and
Is a Landmark Visible for
Many Miles.

Denver, Colo.-UndeT the act for
the preservation Of American an
tiquities" the United States govern
ment has become custodian OF many
remarkable attractions. which have
been grouped under the head Of ma
tional monuments, and none OF these
Is more wonderful than the little
known Devils Tower, in northern
Wyoming.
The Devils Tower is a gigantic
rock, 1,250 feet high, rising sheer from
the level plain. No doubt IL ) the
product of long ages OF wind and wa
ter erosion. 1t car be seen for hun
dreds of miles on all sides, as II is In
a plains country. The rock wGrlld be
remarkable even If 1t were in a bro
ken and rugged country, but rising as
it does from the open prairie. and
standing like a lone sentinel amid the
vast and silent plains, its weird ef-
feet is intellectually heightened.
The Sioux, Cheyennes and Crows,
who made the country surrounding
the Devils Tower, their hunting
ground in early days, have many leg
ends about this strange rock. In
later years, when the venturesome
white men began to push across the
northern plains, they utilized the
Devils Tower as a guide post. The
landmark, looming up on the prairie.
served to enlighten many an emf
grant as to his whereabouts.
Under the act of 1906. giving the
government the right to set aside all
such natural curiosities for the bene
fit of the people, the Devils Tower
was one of the first national monu'
ments created. The Devils Tower
monument consists of about 1000
acres. and preserves for all time this
landmark. The tower is In charge OF

people visit it in the course OF a year.
Those who make the trip, which is
usually done from the little northern
Wyoming town OF S%undance. feel
amply repaid for their visit.
AS n approaches the Devils Tow
er his amaZement and awe increase.
1t seems incredible that any forces OF
nature could have carved the solitary
monument that rears its head so far
above the brown plains. The sides OF
the tower rise sheer from the ground
its sides of limestone being fiuted,
giving it an almost organ-like appear
ance. The rock presents the same ap-
pearance from every side. and to scaie
it seems to be an impossibility. II is
said that a few years & a man and
woman successfully negotiated the as
cent Of the Devils Tower. but they
were compelled to drive iron spikes
in the face Of the cliff and mount by
such artificial aids. To ascend the
tower without the use of some such
means would be an impossibiiity.
1t is not unlikely that. in the course
of a year or two the government will
send an official expedition to the top
OF the Devils Tower monument. and
that stairways and ladders to the sum-
NIT will be constructed. Surveys
have been made and 1t is not impos-
sible to build a series OF ladders and
stairways by which the venturesome
may reach the top of the rock.
The Indian legends concerning the
Devils Tower are many. The plain
tribes all regarded the rock with su-
perstttious awe and the medicine men
ascribed its construction to the DOW
ers of darkness. Probably this view
has been echoed by the white men In
christening the rock the Devils Tower.
Indian legends add not a little TO
the interest surrounding the Devils
Tower. Occasionally the rock Is Wis

vations, the Crows and C%heyennes be
